During this period of time, Han Cheng and Han Shenzi, who had been thinking about metal ores all over his head, wandering around outside and stretching his legs to no avail, decided to reward his injured soul with a delicious meal.
I made this decision because I felt really depressed. Secondly, a few people who were digging the drainage canal all the way to the river discovered the loach when they were digging by the river.
After Han Cheng heard the news, he thought of getting some loaches to eat.
After hearing the request of the Son of God, the people responsible for catching fish in fish traps and those who dug ditches were very embarrassed, because this thing was too slippery and extremely difficult to catch.
Sometimes you can encounter them occasionally when fishing, but in the end they will still slip through the gaps in the fish cages. (The gaps between the fish cages of the Blue Bird Tribe are relatively large, so as to catch less small fish.)
Is the loach too slippery to catch?
After hearing what everyone said, Han Cheng smiled. It seemed that he had to do this himself.
Before he could take action, Lai came over first, patting his chest and saying that he had a way to ensure that he could catch loaches for the Son of God.
Han Cheng was very curious and came up with some good ideas.
Loaches that hide in the mud most of the time are indeed not very easy to catch. Lame is so confident now. Could it be because he used Rejoice?
Lame's method is very simple, that is, use thinner branches to weave a more dense fish cage.
In this way, the loach will have no way to escape if it enters the fish cage.
Han Cheng shook his head after hearing this. This was indeed a method, but it would not be very efficient.
Because loaches are different from fish and do not like to swim in the water. It is really not easy to get them into the fish cage.
Seeing that his method was rejected by the Son of God, Lame scratched his head.
If this method doesn't work, then he really can't think of a good way.
Are you using a bone shovel to dig by the river? It would be better to use a fish trap to save trouble.
In his doubts, Han Cheng stood up, found a stone knife and a bone knife, and dragged over the bamboo pole that he had cut in the bamboo forest before and used as a pole.
Use a stone knife or a bone knife to break two sections of bamboo, and carefully take out bamboo strips a few millimeters thick.
Without sharp iron tools, it was not easy to make bamboo strips. Even though Han Cheng was very careful, he still couldn't make thin and even bamboo strips.
Fortunately, he didn't want to make anything, and the carved bamboo strips needed to be cut into very short pieces, so he could make do with it.
After it was done, I found some tree sticks that were thinner than my fingers, flattened them on one end, drilled a small hole, and then put a bamboo strip of about two centimeters that I had cut out before into one, and fixed it.
It's finished.
Lai looked at these half-meter-long sticks and couldn't figure out how to use them to catch loaches.
In his opinion, this thing is not as reliable as the method of rebuilding the fish cage he said.
Han Cheng had no worries. He knew best whether this thing was reliable or not.
Seeing that this thing has been completed for more than a hundred times, the sun has already shifted to the west. According to the calculation of later generations, it is about five o'clock. The sky will set in about two hours, and Han Chenggong stopped working.
Although there are still a few things, it shouldn't be a problem to catch one or two bowls of loaches.
Han Cheng took the bone shovel, Bai Xuemei, who was carrying these tree sticks called "ka", and some other people watching the fun, and headed towards the river.
Do we really need to dig with a bone shovel?
Seeing the Son of God carrying a bone shovel and walking out at a pace that no one would recognize, he limped in place, scratched his head, and followed suit.
After arriving at the small river, Han Chengcheng started digging, not for loaches, but for earthworms.
The riverside is humid, and there are things like rotten grass and leaves that have accumulated over the years. The land is fertile, and earthworms like to live in such a place.
Sure enough, within a short time, many strips were dug out.
Primitive people were much bolder than later generations, and were fearless of all kinds of insects. Under Han Cheng's instructions, Bai Xuemei and others picked up the cool and sticky earthworms from the soil.
Placed in a cracked pottery bowl.
Then follow Han Cheng's instructions and pinch the earthworm into small pieces.
Han Cheng vaguely remembered that it was said that an earthworm would not die after being chopped in half, but could become two.
However, these earthworms that were dug out did not have such a chance, because they had just been cut off and had already been threaded.
Bai Xuemei pinched the two ends of the bamboo strips on a small stick together with her fingers. Because the bamboo strips have excellent toughness, they will not break.
Then a piece of earthworm was threaded on top.
After the handle is released, the bamboo strips will not stretch out due to the constraints of the earthworms.
Seeing that more than half of the cards had been worn, Han Cheng picked up some of the worn cards and forked them into the mud in the shallow water along the river bank.
Insert it about ten centimeters deep, and insert one piece every half meter or so.
The card inserted in the water is not very conspicuous. If you don't look carefully, it can be easily ignored.
Time is a little tight today, so I was in a hurry. When I wait, I can tie some feathers on the top of the card, so that when the time comes to collect the card, I can see where the card is at a glance and it will not be lost easily.
Looking at the cards stretching all the way to the edge of the river, Han Cheng had a smile on his face.
"Brother Cheng, are you going back now?"
Bai Xuemei looked at the card in the river and asked with some doubts.
The others also looked at Han Cheng in confusion.
Han Cheng reached out and fiddled with Bai Xuemei's braid twice, nodded with a smile and said, "Go back to eat, and you will be able to harvest a lot of loaches tomorrow morning."
Everyone followed Han Cheng back all the way, looking back to the river from time to time. They really couldn't figure out how these simple sticks could catch such slippery loaches.
The lame man walking behind actually showed a thoughtful expression.
"There's another one!"
The sun has not yet risen, there is dew on the grass blades, and the riverside is lightly shrouded in mist. Bai Xuemei's joyful voice with surprise can be heard.
In her hand, she was holding a card that had just been pulled out of the mud in the shallow water of the river. At the bottom of the card, there was a loach hanging.
The normally slippery loach has now become extremely honest.
The mucus on its body could no longer protect it from misfortune, because its mouth was firmly supported by the stretched bamboo strips and it could not break free.
“It’s available here too!”
Xing Ye shouted happily. Normally they couldn't catch loaches, but now they all obeyed, which made them very happy.
For a time, the riverside was filled with the joy of harvest.
Looking at this scene, Han Cheng also smiled, and in a trance he went back to the days when he was a child and caught loaches in the harvested rice fields...
