Chapter 175 Jinjiang Exclusive

The amount of food that Lu Xuan had to process was too large for the female workers to finish in one day, so they stayed in the village for three days.

The accommodation is a tent set up next to the greenhouse, which is also equipped with a brick bed and air conditioning. In the future, any guests from the village can be accommodated inside.

Living in close quarters, the female workers saw more.

For example, how well the villagers eat their three meals a day.

In the morning, we have rice porridge, fish porridge, steamed buns, steamed bread and tofu pudding. For lunch and dinner, we have braised pork, steamed fish, pickled vegetables, fried bacon, scrambled eggs with leeks, and even beef and seafood!

The women in the village did not eat with them, but every time they came back from home, they carried the aroma of food on their bodies. Their noses were not damaged, so how could they not smell it?

Although the meals Lu Xuan provided them were not bad, with meat buns in the morning and bacon fried rice for lunch and dinner, they were still far behind the conditions of the villagers.

It's not just food, there are also camping lights in the tents that are as bright as daylight, and those magical snow-removing gadgets on the streets that are as magical as plant protection machines.

All the children in the village, regardless of gender, can read and write!

The more they learned, the stronger their desire to join Yunlu Village became.

Unfortunately, they can't join just because they want to.

After all, they are here to work.

There are tens of thousands of kilograms of food waiting for them to process, so how can they have time to do their own things?

In the winter, it gets dark early, so work ends early. But in the dark, are they really going to go to someone's house and offer themselves? Do they have any shame?

On the third day, they finally processed all the ingredients. It was still early, and the female workers, who had been holding back for two days, finally couldn't help but inquire about the whereabouts of the young and strong men in the village.

Miao Jinfeng told them, "Well, they've been idle at home for a few days and left early this morning. Didn't you know?"

Female workers: “!!!” We don’t know!

Miao Jinfeng waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether they are here or not. Ah Xuan gave me your wages for the past two days. Come, I'll pay you. I'll let my eldest son take you home later."

The female workers were astonished, "We are paid?"

Miao Jinfeng said, "Originally, I didn't have any, but Ah Xuan knows that your lives are not easy and doesn't want to take advantage of you, so I prepared some. It's not a large quantity, so you can take it with confidence."

Miao Jinfeng gave each of them a pound of bacon, an ordinary cabbage/radish, three pounds of ordinary grain, and three pounds of ordinary fruit.

The female workers were holding a bag of supplies each, dumbfounded.

Isn't that not enough?

Each person has eight kilograms of supplies, and fifty people together weigh four hundred kilograms!

But then they thought about the tens of thousands of kilograms of food they had processed in the past two days, and it didn't seem like much in comparison.

The female workers were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected wages, but also felt sorry for not being able to interact with the young and strong people of Yunlu Village.

In the end, I had to be sent back with mixed feelings.

·

At that time, the hunting team did not know that they were being targeted by the female workers. Their minds and bodies were now completely focused on the huge icy lake that they had unexpectedly discovered in front of them.

Li Jing looked at the endless icy lake and exclaimed, "What a huge lake!"

Zhang Chengming used his hands to dig away the snow on the ice lake and tapped it with his fingers. As expected, it was frozen hard.

“Are there any fish in here?”

"Of course there are!" Li Tuo said confidently, "There must be countless fish in such a big lake."

Others said, "Even if there is one, it won't be easy to catch it. We have to break the ice first."

The villagers with enhanced strength smashed the ice hard, only creating a crack less than half a meter in diameter and two or three centimeters thick.

"Hiss! It's really cold."

"Don't rush to throw it. There's no guarantee there'll be any fish near the lake. It's a waste of effort."

Others who were eager to try couldn't help but pause, "That's right."

"Shall we take a look inside?"

…

A group of people drove a sled to the heart of the glacial lake.

Lu Xuan first chose a place and used his wind ability to sweep away all the snow in the surrounding hundreds of square meters, revealing the ice surface underground.

Zhang Chengming and others scattered around, kneeling on the ice with their butts sticking out, some knocking around, some shining strong flashlights downwards, and some of the dumber ones staring wide-eyed trying to identify with their naked eyes whether there were any fish underneath.

[…What a primitive method.]

It's been almost a month since we entered the extreme cold season. The ice must be at least half a meter or even a meter thick. How can it be seen with the naked eye?

[Isn't Wuyang a visual enhancement? Perhaps?]

[Level 1 visual enhancement is barely enough.]

[The host may, no, definitely see it.]

[Pfft, I can't imagine the host sticking his butt out on the ice. The picture is so beautiful.]

【Hehe, now that you mention it, I really want to watch it. 】

【Want to see +1】

Lu Xuan: “…” There is everything in the dream.

Besides, who says that you have to lie on the ice to see visual enhancement?

For a level 7 visual enhancer, the height difference is completely negligible.

In addition, in addition to visual reinforcement, hearing is also useful at this time.

Lu Xuan used his amplification ability to strengthen his hearing again, blocking out the sounds of the wind and falling snow around him. The clear sound of flowing water quickly reached his eardrums, occasionally mixed with the unnatural sound of water flowing caused by fish swimming by.

I moved according to the strength of the sound and soon found a suitable place to stop.

Lu Xuan opened his palm and condensed an ice pick made of pure iron with a total weight of more than 50 kilograms. He stabbed the pointed end hard into the ice surface.

The two-meter-long ice pick instantly sank halfway into the ice surface. Almost at the same time, a "pop" sound of ice being pierced was heard from below.

As soon as the ice pick was pulled out, lake water immediately gurgled out from the hole in the ice.

Lu Xuan searched for the smart fish finder in the mall and clicked to buy it. After briefly understanding its usage, he threw the small visual probe down through the ice eye.

The others struggled for a long time but found nothing. After noticing the movement from Lu Xuan's side, they all came over.

"Wow! Have you broken the ice?" Zhang Chengming touched the water coming out of the ice hole and hissed, "It's so cold!"

Li Jingze moved closer to Lu Xuan and looked at the display screen in his hand. He found that the display seemed to be underwater and asked in surprise, "Is this a picture from the lake?"

"I saw the fish! It's quite big!" Xiong Mao next to him said excitedly.

"Where is it? Where is it? Let me see?" When the others heard it, they all crowded over.

Lu Xuan felt a headache from being squeezed by them, so he swiped at the display screen, and a translucent screen immediately appeared in the air.

Everyone then stepped back slightly, looking at the virtual screen in amazement, "There really are quite a few fish, and they look quite large."

"Is this scene right under our feet? Should we quickly make the hole in the ice bigger to prevent the fish from escaping?"

"Lu Xuan?"

Lu Xuan said: "No rush."

Who would see three or five fish squealing during winter fishing?

In addition to being able to see clearly underwater, Star Alliance's smart fish finder can also detect lake depth, underwater topography, and the composition of the lake water, etc.

Their main function is to find fish; their other functions are not important.

Lu Xuan entered the specific requirement "find fish nest" on the display screen. After receiving the command, the fish finder quickly began automatic patrol search.

After about five or six minutes, the first fish nest was found.

Zhang Chengming's eyes lit up with excitement when he saw the huge fish crowded together in the water.

“Lots of fish!”

“I’m going to make money this time!”

"Lu Xuan, where is this fish nest? Let's go dig it out!"

Lu Xuan glanced at the coordinates displayed on the screen. It was not far from them, about fifty meters away.

The group followed Lu Xuan to the area where the fish nest was. Lu Xuan condensed a dozen ice picks for them on the spot and asked the strength-enhancing system to hold them and form a circle around them and stab them downwards.

A group of people were poking at the ice with ice picks.

Their strength was not as good as Lu Xuan's, and it took them a lot of effort to break through the one-meter-thick ice.

After all the ice holes were pierced, Lu Xuan asked everyone to step back, stretched out his arms forward, pointed his palms at the lake surface, and suddenly pressed down with double gravity!

The ice layer with a diameter of about five meters surrounded by the ice eye suddenly collapsed, and then crashed into the lake with a "plop".

The young and strong people around couldn't help but cheer.

"Is this using gravity power?"

"This is much more convenient than smashing it with our bare hands!"

"Gravity is so useful, why don't you just smash it directly instead of using a skewer?"

"Nonsense, of course it's to mark the area of the ice cave. What if we accidentally break the ice beneath us? Are you planning to go winter swimming?"

Lu Xuan said: "Stop talking nonsense and get ready to work."

During normal winter fishing, dozens or even hundreds of holes are smashed in the ice in different directions to make it easier to spread the fishing net and catch more fish.

They use fully automatic fishing nets so there is no need for so much trouble.

Throw the fishing net down and aim it in the direction of the fish nest. The fishing net will automatically spread out in the water and cover the entire fish nest.

After making sure that the fishing net had been completely gathered, Lu Xuan suddenly tensed his arm muscles and pulled it up with force.

The calm water surface gradually began to ripple, and soon a large number of fresh lake fish caught in the fishing nets appeared in the sight of the hunting team and the audience in the live broadcast room.

Lu Xuan used his gravity ability again and waved his hand violently. A whole net of fish instantly broke out of the water and was thrown onto the other side of the lake.

With the help of gravity, the fish were put down without making much noise.

Zhang Chengming and the others, however, looked at the fresh 'mountain of fish' before them and exclaimed in shock: "So many—!?"

"Did they catch all the fish in the entire fish pond?!"

“It’s sent!”

Even though they couldn't weigh the fish on site, the two months of fishing during the rainy season allowed them to make a rough estimate.

At least ten thousand pounds!

With just one cast of the net, he caught tens of thousands of kilograms of fish!

The members of the hunting team were all stunned.

This harvest came too easily! ?

The record of catching hundreds of kilograms of fish at a time in the Great Falls or catching 1,800 kilograms of fish in the floods is nothing compared to winter fishing!

The live broadcast room was also in an uproar.

[666, a catch of tens of thousands of pounds in one move, quickly type "Awesome" on the comment board!]

【The host is awesome! 】

[Pulling the net with one hand, this is awesome! I'll give you 100 points, even if you're not too proud!]

[Speaking of which, why doesn't the streamer just store their catch in their space? Wouldn't that save effort?]

[It's not as fun to just put it away as it is to pull it with your hands! ]

[Don't worry about whether you can directly close the space or not, just tell me whether you like watching the host's showmanship or not. Anyway, I am a local dog and I like watching it! ]

[Stop talking nonsense! At this point, just shut up, clap, and throw the gifts!]

Lu Xuan looked at the last comment with appreciation, thinking it was sensible.

Xiong Mao's eyes lit up with excitement, and he couldn't wait to say, "That's awesome! I want to get a net too!"

The others woke up as if from a dream and became equally excited.

That’s right!

Instead of being shocked by Lu Xuan’s harvest, it would be better to get some online yourself, which would be more satisfying.

Everyone first exchanged fish finders with Lu Xuan, and then spread out in teams of three or five as before. They each found a good feng shui spot, broke a hole in the ice, threw in the fish finder, looked for fish nests, and then cast their nets.

With the magical artifact of the space ring, the others did not destroy the ice cave.

After finding the fish nest, lower the net along the ice hole. After catching enough fish, put the fishing net and the fish directly into the space. Done!

The fish nests vary in size, and the harvest of each net is different, but without exception, it is no less than one thousand kilograms.

Those weighing more than a thousand pounds are particularly unlucky. The fishing nets get entangled in water plants or other obstacles on the bottom of the lake during the spreading process.

Most people have a minimum of three to five thousand kilograms, and the efficiency of obtaining materials is unprecedentedly high.

These people were particularly cunning. They thought that tens of thousands of pounds of fish were caught in the ice hole created by Lu Xuan, and that no fish could be caught nearby, so they deliberately chose a place far enough away to fish.

But they didn’t think about why Lu Xuan deliberately smashed such a big ice hole?

Is it just to make it easier to catch the fish and give them a visual impact, a feast for the eyes of the audience?

Of course not.

His real purpose was to introduce enough air into the water through a large enough hole in the ice.

The fish that were suffocating underwater felt that the air content in the water here had increased, and they swarmed over without Lu Xuan doing anything.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the first net of fish was caught, Lu Xuan cast the net again and harvested more than 5,000 kilograms of fish.

The third time, he bought a few enhanced fish-attracting lights in the mall, shone them down at the water surface, and after attracting enough fish, he cast the net again and harvested more than 6,000 kilograms of fish.

The fourth time, a large amount of chopped prey intestines with a strong fishy smell were sprinkled in as bait, and more than 7,000 kilograms of fish were caught!

Using it in different ways over and over again, Lu Xuan alone caught 50,000 kilograms of fish in just one afternoon.

Others had to move to another place and look for a new fishing nest after catching a net of fish, which wasted a lot of time. However, they later learned to bait the fish like Lu Xuan, and their final harvest reached 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms.

The audience in the live broadcast room roughly calculated their gains for the day.

Guaranteed two hundred thousand kilograms of fish!

Hiss! This data is a bit too exaggerated.

Lu Xuan was not surprised at all.

It is not uncommon for a famous lake in modern times to catch 100,000 or 200,000 kilograms of fish in one net during winter fishing.

They relied on fully automatic fishing nets and space plug-ins to get such a small harvest.

The real shock should also be on another point.

Lu Xuan reminded the audience, "We caught so many fish in just a small area of the frozen lake this afternoon. Can you guess how many fish we could catch in a whole winter if we circumnavigated the entire lake?"

Audience:!!!

·

The group returned home with countless catches of fish.

After meeting their relatives in the village, the young and strong men couldn't wait to show off their big harvest of the day.

As a result, the elders and female relatives of each family looked at these young people as if they were fools.

"Hundreds of thousands of pounds of fish!? What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?"

"You've only been gone for less than a day, not half a month, and it's not the rainy season yet. How can you get so many fish?"

"If you said you caught a few thousand kilograms of fish, I'd believe it. But if you said you caught 100,000 or 200,000 kilograms, that's exaggeration."

"Who's bragging? Come on, let's show you if we really caught that many fish!"

Zhang Chengming and others were not convinced and excitedly took out the fish.

You took out several thousand kilograms, I took out several thousand kilograms, and more than twenty people worked together. The fish almost drowned all the villagers.

The villagers, who had been full of disbelief just a moment ago, were completely furious.

They looked at the piles of fish in the open space outside the village, feeling both excited and dazed.

Li Tie grabbed Lu Xuan and asked excitedly what was going on.

Lu Xuan said: "We encountered a large ice lake. These are the fish we caught after breaking the ice."

Li Tie was shocked and asked, "What kind of lake has so many fish?"

Lu Xuan said, "It's not much."

Considering the size of the glacial lake, even if they worked day and night for winter fishing throughout the entire extreme cold season, they probably wouldn't be able to catch half of the fish in the lake.

Li Tie was so excited when he learned about the scale of the ice lake that he could hardly control himself.

Seeing Li Tie's face flushed with excitement, Lu Xuan worried that he might faint from the excitement, so he soothed him, "The ice lake and the fish are stuck there. Don't overthink it. Just divide the fish in front of you first."

Li Tie took a deep breath and nodded, "That's right, let's divide the fish first!"

Of the 200,000 jin of fish, Lu Xuan took 60,000 for himself, 40,000 was shared among the public supplies, and the remaining share went to the hunting team that went out today.

For example, the Li family hunting team had two places, so they were directly allocated more than 6,700 kilograms. Those whose families had no one joining the hunting team, or the Wu family who happened not to go today, received a household subsidy of more than 700 kilograms, nearly 800 kilograms.

The hunting team from Wucheng suffered a loss by not going today, but they won’t suffer any loss if they go next time.

Mei Cheng's bright eyes widened with joy and worry, "Sister, how can we finish eating so many fish?"

More than 700 kilograms of fish, what does that mean?

If you eat two kilograms of fish every day, it will last for more than a year.

This is just one day's harvest. There will definitely be more to share in the future. I don't know if they have enough space to store it all.

Mei Xue was also happy, "If you can't finish it, just save it!"

If there is not enough space, just replace it with a bigger one. Who can complain about having too much supplies?

Not to mention seven or eight hundred kilograms, even seven or eight thousand kilograms would not be too much for her!

·

During the rainy season, every family stores a lot of fish, but the first batch of fish caught in winter always has a different meaning.

That night, everyone unanimously used the winter-caught fish as the main dish for dinner, and the whole village was filled with the rich aroma of fish.

In addition to the usual fish dishes, the Lu family also made a mixed fish hotpot.

The mixed fish pot made with lard, homemade soybean paste and a lot of potato cubes is so delicious.

The audience in the livestream were so engrossed in the food that they barely had time to comment. Lu Qing was even more complimentary about the meal, saying, "These fish are much more delicious than those caught during the rainy season. There's not a single earthy smell!"

Lei Yan nodded and said, "The water quality of the ice lake should be better."

When there is a flood, the water is so muddy that the fish caught have a certain earthy smell and are very difficult to handle.

Lu Chen ate with his mouth full of oil and looked at Lu Xuan with sparkling eyes: "Brother, next time you go fishing, can you take me with you? I also want to go to that big lake to have a look."

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Okay."

Winter fishing itself is indeed an interesting activity. Although their fishing method is a bit unconventional, it is still okay to take Lu Chen there to broaden his horizons.

Lu Qing also said, "Lei Yan should go too next time. Nothing will go wrong if I stay home alone."

Lei Yan didn't go today and didn't get a share of the hunting team. That means she lost a full three thousand kilograms of harvest. She felt painful just thinking about it.

Lei Yan said, "Then you should ask who in the village is free to come and accompany you. Otherwise, I'm still worried about you being alone."

Even though Lu Xuan said that it would not be easy to miscarry a child born to a person with superpowers, he was still afraid that Lu Qing would get hurt when he was not looking.

Lu Qing had been looking forward to this baby for several years, so nothing could go wrong.

Lu Xuan didn't pay attention to the conversation between the couple. He was thinking about what to do with the tens of thousands of fish he had just acquired.

Of course there has to be a raffle, and a batch of recycling has to be processed, but what about the share they keep for themselves?

I have already made a lot of cured fish, salted fish, and fish balls. I could make more and store them, but it’s always the same old dishes, which is really nothing new.

The caviar is delicious, but unfortunately, neither the rainy season nor the extreme cold season is the breeding season, so there is very little caviar.

Lu Xuan's eyes inadvertently fell on the noodles in Lu Qing's mixed fish pot, and his heart suddenly moved, and he remembered a kind of fish noodles he had eaten in a private restaurant before.

Maybe he could try to replicate it?
