I bought two large baskets of fish this morning and this evening, spending more than a hundred yuan, which is equivalent to someone's salary for several months. Wow.

Looking at the few fish left in the yard, Song Yun decided to go fishing at night.

There were so many people on the other side of the Tianqing River that if people saw her scooping up fish like she was picking them up, they would definitely be suspicious and would become jealous.

They can't go through the village to Qinghe from their side, so it's very convenient to drag the fish back.

As soon as Song Yun made the suggestion, the whole family became excited.

Especially Mr. Qi and Mr. Mo, they haven't been out for a long time. It's inconvenient during the day, but it's very convenient at night.

In the end, even Qingxia went to Qinghe with them, helping to light the flashlight and pass the baskets.

Song Yun dug two holes in the ice, gave Ziyi a special rice ball, and asked him to be responsible for putting bait in the other hole.

Ziyi had seen his sister baiting before, so he knew how much to put out each time and happily accepted the task.

When Mr. Qi saw Song Yun, he gave Ziyi a rice ball and asked, "Is that all? That's all?"

Song Yun smiled and said, "This rice ball has a secret seasoning that attracts fish. This one is enough."

Mr. Qi and Mr. Mo were half-believing and half-doubting, but without saying anything more, they followed Ziyi to another ice cave.

Fortunately, there were two flashlights. Yang Lifen and Qi Qingxia were responsible for lighting the two ice holes with flashlights. Song Yun and Song Hao guarded one ice hole to catch fish, while the two elders and Ziyi guarded the other ice hole to catch fish.

Less than half a minute after the bait was thrown into the water, fish swarmed in from all directions. Some were so anxious that they even jumped directly onto the ice, no longer making the effort to catch them.

Except for Song Yunziyi and Yang Lifen, the others were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Grandpa Qi, don't be in a daze, hurry up and catch the fish, or it will run away soon."

It is impossible to run away. If the fish crowded at the hole entrance are not taken away, the fish below will not be able to come out.

The two elders came to their senses and immediately started fishing.

This is a picture I found online, of a fish weighing about eight kilograms.

Although they are old, they still have the basic skills they needed. Fishing is no problem for them and they soon fill up all the fish baskets they brought.

They brought four baskets, and Song Yun was not greedy. After the four baskets were full, she stopped baiting and caught all the fish that had not left. There were about half a basket full, so she stopped.

The more people there were, the more helpless she was. The fish that couldn't be put into baskets were put into sacks and pulled back all at once.

Looking at the piles of big fat fish, the two elders sighed that even when they were commanders in the army, they had never eaten so much.

"Tomorrow we'll start drying and smoking fish. I bought a lot of salt yesterday."

Qie Qingxia said, "It's snowing every now and then, and it's so cold, how can we dry the fish?"

Song Yun said, "If we can't dry them in the sun, we can just dry them in a dryer. There's an empty room, right? We can light up the kang in that room and put the clothes on it to dry. It'll be very quick."

Song Hao smiled and said, "That's a good idea. We should clean up these fish somewhere. It's not a big deal if they just freeze here all the time."

In addition to making dried fish and smoked fish, Song Yun also plans to make some fish balls, fish cakes, and fish intestines. After making them, they will be frozen so that she can change the taste from time to time and can also use them in hot pot.
