After walking around in Jiagedaqi, Lu Lu found Meng Zhaohua, his brother-in-law and another driver who had arrived at Jiagedaqi yesterday according to the agreed time.
There were too many things on the sledge. Zhang Shaofeng and others did not drive the sledge directly to Jiagedaqi. Instead, they found a place to wait on the nearby mountain, not wanting to attract too much attention.
Lu Lu led the three people to drive to pick them up. When they arrived at the place, they were surprised to see six sledges full of things.
Bags of furs were packed in the car that Meng Zhaohua drove. Most of the rest were bear meat, venison and flying dragon meat. The bear paws alone were packed into two sacks.
This is destined to be another unprecedented harvest, which is hard not to envy.
The sledge, horses and dogs all got on the car. Lu Lu still chose to look after Yuanbao and Baiyu and sat in the back compartment. After the car started, he stared blankly through the gap in the tarpaulin and watched the car pass by in the snow.
Ruts left on the ground.
We parked the car in Jiagedaqi, and after a few people had a delicious meal in a restaurant, the car continued on the road.
Towards evening, the car arrived at Nenjiang River.
It was there that Lu Lu saw many people digging into the ice to catch fish on the river. He hesitated for a moment, lifted the tarp, and suddenly remembered his previous plan and shouted several times in front of him: "Stop!"
All three cars stopped, and several sleepy people jumped out of the cars, wrapped in mattresses in the cab. Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke and Chen Xiuqing, who were in the same carriage, also jumped out of the carriage.
Yuanbao and the others jumped down after them. Although they were no longer motion sick, they were still comfortable on the ground.
"Lao Wu, what's going on?" Raymond asked first: "We can still go a long way!"
"I just saw a lot of fishermen on the river... I was thinking, since we have arrived at the Nen River, it makes no sense if we don't get some fish to take back!" Lu Lu said with a smile.
"Isn't it just fish? There are a lot of them in the mountains over there. You can go and catch them anytime you want, so there's no need to waste time here?"
Zhang Shaofeng shook his head: "Besides, we didn't bring any ice wearers or anything like that."
But Lu Lu laughed: "Before I came, I brought several fishing nets and fishing lines with me. I thought I could bring some good fish back when I passed by the Nenjiang River. As for the ice ax and the ice threader, they are here
People nearby can just buy a few handfuls, and they will often use them when fishing in the future. There are many fish in the Nen River, and almost all the fish in the wilderness can be found in the Nen River."
"Really or not?"
Hearing what Lu Lu said, Liang Kangbo obviously didn't believe it: "I was surprised before that you came with a fishing net. Did you bring the wrong hunting gear? It turns out you had a plan."
"Let me tell you, the fish in the waters of the Nenjiang River are divided into two groups. One is the small adult fish group, which mainly includes silver bream, fine-scaled catfish, lake mandarin fish, etc.; the second is the large adult fish group, carp.
Not to mention grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, and crucian carp, there are also Songhua River cocked red catfish, Mongolian red catfish, cold water fine fish, Ussuri salmon, etc.”
"I've never heard of... so many names!"
Chen Xiuqing scratched her head: "I would like to see it!"
"Are there three flowers and five flowers?" Raymond asked again.
"This brings me to the point, especially the famous three flowers and five flowers - fish bone, ao flower, bream flower, faro, chiro, tongluo, yaluo and zheluo, which are the unique specialties of Nenjiang River
, many other rare fish species, even soft-shell turtles that are extremely rare in other natural waters in the HLJ area, the number in the Nen River is quite large. There are also salmon and catfish..."
Lu Lu clapped his fingers and counted the family treasures.
Hearing what he said, the faces of the group of people immediately became interested.
There are a lot of fish, I just heard about them, but they are not easy to see in Yichun.
"We don't need to delay too much. We will choose a place to stay for one night today, and spend a day tomorrow to dig out the ice and lower the nets. At the end of the day, not to mention there are too many fish, including one or two thousand catties of fish.
What’s the problem? Let’s leave the day after tomorrow... Should we do it or not?”
Taking these things back home, you can eat them, sell them, and give them as gifts. No matter how you think about them, they are very worthwhile.
Especially those rare fish species. The prices of ordinary grass carp, carp and the like on the market have begun to rise, reaching more than one yuan, not to mention the expensive ones. It is no problem to pay more than two yuan per catty. Then
Isn't it like picking up money?
The frozen river surface is a good time to set down the net for fishing.
How could a few people not feel hot in their hearts? They immediately responded: "Do it!"
Then a few people got in the car and drove along the road along the river bank. When passing several houses on the river bank, they directly paid for some ice axes and ice thongs.
After walking along the river for several kilometers, we reached a deserted place, so we stopped the car near a fork in the river and planned to camp in a field next to it.
This is the place Lu Lu chose.
Fishing cannot be done on the river surface. The river water is very fast and the fish cannot stop. You must fish in places such as river forks or puddles where the water flow is relatively gentle.
The next morning, they ignored breakfast and left only another driver to caboose and prepare lunch by the tent. Meng Zhaohua and his brother-in-law also followed Lu Lu and others, carrying axes, ice piercings, and ice picks on the ice early.
On the surface.
As people in the wilderness, almost everyone knows how to make holes in the ice. Seeing a group of people carrying axes and digging holes in the ice, when they arrived at the place, they each chose a position and started to chop with axes and drill holes in the ice. Lu Lu quickly stopped them.
.
"The fishing net we use this time is not a fishing net. This time we have to pay attention to the method of fishing net..."
Both Lu Lu and Raymond had stayed at the Bird's Nest Island Farm, and both had participated in the winter fishing of the fishing team, so they were very skilled at this kind of work.
"My eldest brother and I will take three people each to dig out the network entrance and lever holes... Pay attention to safety. The ice is one or two meters thick in some places. It's no problem for a car to drive on it, but it's also
It's very thin in some places and might crack if you step on it.
If a person falls, it will be a disaster in the cold weather. What is even more dangerous is that if he falls and gets caught in the undercurrent, he is suddenly swept away. In many cases, there is no way to save him. You must take good care of yourself when you leave.
Look at the ice surface and judge the thickness of the ice layer. I don’t need to tell you this! This is the surface of the river, not a small river or ditch in the mountains."
Lu Lu had to emphasize.
Winter fishing on the ice is not bad even if you often catch fish, but it is also very dangerous.
"knew!"
"Remember!"
…
A group of people don't dare to be careless. The water flow under the ice surface, even in a place like Hechazi where the water is wide and seems to be gentle, the water below is also surging with undercurrents.
Of course, places where water flows meet are often places where oxygen and food are relatively abundant, and there will be more fish active in these places.
Lu Lu took Zhao Yongke, Chen Xiuqing and Meng Zhaohua, looked at the terrain, estimated the water potential, and chose a place. He first dug the ice into the network entrance and the network outlet, estimated a rough length, and added the area along the ice.
After the snow was cleared, everyone began to use ice picks to shave the ice.
The four of them took turns wielding the ice ax to shave the ice and using shovels to remove the broken ice.
After you reach a certain depth, you can no longer use the ice axe. At this time, you need to use the ice pick to smash the ice: grab the short handle of the ice pick, lift the ice pick that weighs more than ten kilograms high, and use gravity to smash it down.
More strenuous than swinging a sledgehammer.
This is undoubtedly the most strenuous.
The temperature was more than 20 degrees below zero. Not long after each of them worked, the raccoon leather hats they wore began to steam.
Meng Zhaohua fell onto the ice and gasped for air.
"Hua Zi, you can't rest. It's such a cold day and you're sweating from work. If you suddenly have some free time, you might catch a cold. You can slow down a little, but you must not rest!"
Lu Lu smiled and looked at Meng Zhaohua: "You can't make yourself sick just to catch a fish. It's not easy to get sick in the winter, and it's especially painful."
Hearing this, Meng Zhaohua nodded, quickly stood up, took an ice pick, and started digging a pole hole five meters away according to the place chosen by Lu Lu.
In later generations, when nets were lowered into rivers, they were often hundreds of meters or thousands of meters long. They were pulled by remote control using underwater machinery, which was much more convenient. However, now we can only use indigenous methods.
This thing is equivalent to setting up a soft wall in the river. There are floats on the top of the net and the ice is attached to the floating net. The bottom is a lead pendant. The net is pulled and falls to the bottom of the river. When it is closed, the lead pendants will be twisted together to form the bottom.
, the fish basically cannot escape from the bottom.
Of course, this is a big game. When it goes off the grid, it has to be dragged by a winch, or it can be pulled by more than ten or twenty people, or even more people, otherwise it won't be able to pull it at all.
The net Lu Lu brought was only a hundred meters long, and there were nine people there, so it would be no problem to drag it up.
The biggest problem is actually getting offline.
It is crucial to ensure that both ends of the net are spread out laterally under the ice.
Before that, it was necessary to drill many small holes about ten meters apart in a row horizontally, that is, pole holes. Use wooden hooks more than ten meters long to hook the net outline outwards, and finally pass it through the net outlet.
, ensure that the fishing net is unfolded.
But digging the network entrance and these lever holes is the real big project and physical work.
It took more than two hours for both teams to dig out the required holes.
After taking a few breaths, Lu Lu and Lei Meng each took the 100-meter net that Lu Lu brought and began to lower the net.
Along the net entrance, there is a rope guide wooden pole on each side. A strong thin rope is tied to the tail of the lever, and the thin rope is connected to the fishing net.
Insert the pole into the rope guide pole under the pole hole, rotate it slightly, and then move it forward to guide the rope pole and the net to move to the next pole hole.
Repeat the operation in this way, and finally pass it through the network outlet.
The next step is to wait.
There was a lot of movement during the digging of the inlet and outlet of the net and the opening of the lever, and any fish below had already been scared away.
However, due to contact with the air, these places will soon become places with more oxygen, attracting fish to come closer, but this takes time.
The two groups of people changed places and re-selected a place to dig the network entrance and lever hole.
Things were busy until noon. I hurriedly worked slowly and finally managed to put down the other two nets.
Hearing the driver's voice calling for dinner on the river bank from a distance, Lu Lu greeted a few people and prepared to go back to eat together.
But Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile: "We have all caught fish, so we can't eat fish for lunch. Doesn't it make sense?"
"We can get the net a long time ago. It's been two hours since we set up the net. If the net fails to go down, let's go have dinner..." Raymond also said with a smile.
Looking at the expectant looks in their eyes, Lu Lu asked, "We haven't eaten since this morning. Aren't you hungry?"
"It's not just this moment... drag the net now. If you don't go down, after the fish is cooked and eaten, when you come back, I'm afraid you can raise the net again!" Liang Kangbo also had the same idea.
Lu Lu glanced at a few people and nodded: "Okay, let's drag out the two nets we laid out first."
Several people nodded excitedly.
Zhang Shaofeng immediately ran over and untied the first wooden stick that tied the fishing net to the net entrance.
At the outlet of the net, Lu Lu and others pulled up the string of the net and began to pull it out together.
Not wearing water-crotched pants, the few people couldn't care less and carried the fishing nets on their shoulders.
At the same time, Lu Lu also shouted the slogan of setting up the net: "There is a big sun above your head, and everything in front of you is white. Use your feet and waist to exert force, and the man pulling the net will smile!"
Except for Lei Meng, Zhang Shaofeng and others were a little embarrassed, but they felt inexplicably excited when they heard the high-pitched chanting, so they also shouted along while exerting their strength.
But the next second, the chant led by Lu Lu immediately changed: "What is the name of Qingzi's wife?"
Chen Xiuqing was slightly startled, but heard that several others had already answered: "The Swallows of the King's Flying Dragon Family!"
Lu Lu shouted again: "When will Hua Zi get married?"
"I have a beautiful woman in my arms at the end of the year. I need to help, I need to help!"
This tune was getting more and more off track, and the sound of hip-hop kept coming for a while.
