On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the village began digging ice to catch fish. This day should be the busiest day in the year.
Almost everyone in the village, young and old, came to the big river and pond in the village.
At about seven o'clock, the captain and a few strong young men appeared with a big net.
In fact, compared to other seasons, winter fishing is definitely a technical job. At this time, all the fish are hidden under the ice. If you want to find the fish nest, you have to have an experienced "fish leader".
There is a very powerful fish handler in Hongguo Village. As early as yesterday, Uncle Hong found the spot on the river pond where he was going to lower his net and marked it. Today, before digging, he checked it again and then with a big hand
With a wave, the strong young men in the village started digging towards the place he had marked.
Soon there was the sound of ice hammers hitting the ice on the river. When one was tired, he was replaced by another. The ice on the river pond was four to fifty centimeters thick. Fortunately, there were many people, and everyone started to work together. After nearly an hour,
After a while, the marked ice surface was finally penetrated one by one.
Ning Yue watched curiously as the old men in the village lowered the net into the river. The holes in the net were huge, and it was obvious at a glance that all the fish caught in the net were big fish.
Dajiang Xiaohe didn't join in the fun with others, so he stood guard next to Ningyue with a bucket and a ladle. Before they came out, his grandma said that they must keep an eye on his sister-in-law and don't let her wander around.
There are many places to gather.
More people equals holes in the ice, and holes in the ice equals fish.
The girl cannot be allowed to get too close to the fish in full view of the people. Who knows if those fish will do something crazy in front of the whole village!
Anyway, Ning Yuejiu's bucket contained several kinds of fish, including large and small ones, including Zerro, grass carp, catfish, and carp. She estimated that these fish must weigh more than thirty kilograms.
Ojiang said: "That depends on Third Grandpa. If he says he can get up, he can get up in an hour. If he doesn't say anything, it might take several hours."
Seeing that his sister-in-law was about to leave again, Dajiang directly reminded her.
Whether he can catch fish or not depends on this guy.
Dajiang: ..."We are afraid that the fish will throw us all over the water. If our clothes get wet when we go back, my mother will definitely scold us for an hour."
"As long as you use a net to catch it, the village basically doesn't care. Of course, if you catch almost everything, you can go home quickly. It doesn't matter if you catch too much."
For example, if Murakami divides the fish into a bucket of twenty or thirty kilograms for each family, if you catch a bucket of twenty or thirty kilograms by yourself, who would be happy to see it?
"Does the village not care about this?"
Facts have proved that twenty kilograms is far more than that. These fish were quickly separated according to size. Now no one has a scale to weigh you one kilogram or one tael. They are all based on size. How many big fish are there in a family?
Give each family a few medium fish, a few medium fish, and a few small fish.
If you don’t want a bigger one, or you don’t want a smaller one, you can change it, but you have to exchange it with someone else’s.
"Sister-in-law, it was very lively when the Internet was launched in previous years. If you never see it, you will definitely regret it in the future."
Xiaohe took the bucket of fish and ran away quickly. Dajiang took Ningyue and found an ice cave that was not occupied by anyone. He took the fishing rod and kept stirring up the water in the ice cave.
Come, after stirring for a while, he reversed the movement of the laozi in his hand and swung it toward the river surface, and he threw a few miscellaneous fish on the ice.
Ning Yue continued to ask: "Now that the network is offline, how long will it take to get it up?"
The wait lasted for more than three hours. When it was approaching noon, Uncle Hong finally said, "Let's start the Internet cafe."
The stronger boys all gathered in front of the ice cave, and everyone worked together to pull the big net out.
Dajiang said proudly: "There must be some, otherwise I would have bothered with that! Look at Qiu Feng and the others, they also caught a lot, we have to work faster."
While he was talking, he stirred up the water again, and then took the fishing rod and threw it onto the river. This time, he missed a little, and only caught a palm-sized spine fish.
Ning Yue's toes had turned in the opposite direction, but when he said this, they actually turned back.
"Are there really fish?"
"Then, what are you doing with a fishing net?" Ning Yue took a look at it specifically. The mesh of this fishing net is also quite large. At least small fry will definitely not be caught.
If her eldest nephew didn't fish for her, what else could Ning Yue do? She could only stand on the sidelines and watch Gao Zhidong carrying his and Xu Yandong's share of fish, his eyes darting around, and then he saw Ning Yue standing in the southwest corner.
As soon as he pulled Xu Yansheng, the two of them walked towards this side.
So let it be cold.
In the past, she had seen pictures of fishing on the Internet, but it was not as real as going to the scene and seeing it with her own eyes.
As soon as Ning Yue heard this, she immediately didn't want to wait here. After a while, her face was a little stiff due to the northwest wind. Anyway, it was still early to set up the net, so she simply went home and read a book.
"When all the fish in the village are finished, we will fish through the existing holes in the ice. If we are lucky, we can catch small fish weighing three to five kilograms."
Qiu Feng is Qiu Ling's younger brother. He is about the same size as the river. He is also fishing with a fishing rod at this time.
"Why are you two guarding me if you don't want to watch the fun?"
Gao Zhidong glanced at the bucket on the side, "Nothing gained. You guys are not strong enough. Do you want to help~~"
Ning Yue was so surprised by what she saw that she was about to take the laozi and try it a few times herself. Unexpectedly, she was rejected by Dajiang, "Sister-in-law, just rest. When the river comes, the two of us can take turns."
In previous years, when fishing in the village, my sister-in-law would run home to catch a cat for various reasons, or she would not come at all because she was afraid of the cold.
As the fishing net was pulled out little by little, the most exciting scene appeared. Big fish were lifted out of the water by the fishing net. They kept struggling in the net, and some even jumped very high. Unfortunately, they could not escape the fishing net. , Sanshu Hong also laughed happily, "With good luck, one family can share at least twenty kilograms of fish in this net."
Ojiang: He has only done it for a short time. How can he really get a bucket of fish?
Ning Yue pointed at the tool in Dajiang's hand, "Give it to Gao Zhiqing to see how strong Gao Zhiqing is."
Without thinking, Dajiang threw the thing to Gao Zhidong, while he stood aside and waited to watch the excitement. He really thought catching fish was so simple. This was not a matter of strength.
Gao Zhidong was happy now. He picked up the ladle and imitated Tang Chenglin's action just now, stirring it up in the hole in the ice. However, after stirring for a while, he threw the ladle toward the ice, but nothing happened.
Gao Zhidong continued to stir, and this time there was progress. Three small fish as big as a little finger came up. After the small fish were thrown ashore, they jumped crazily on the ice. Dajiang quickly picked up the fish and threw it back into the water. He was afraid of Gao Zhidong. Donghui felt embarrassed and comforted him: "Actually, you are already very good at this. Look at the size of my fishing net. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be able to catch such a big fish."
