How to relieve worries? Only delicious food!

Han Cheng, Han Dashenzi, has been thinking about metal ore for a while and has been running around outside without any results. So he decides to reward his wounded heart with a delicious meal.

The reason for making this decision was, firstly, that I was really depressed, and secondly, several people who were digging the drainage ditch all the way to the river discovered loaches while digging by the river.

After hearing the news, Han Cheng thought of getting some loaches to eat.

After hearing the Son of God's request, the people responsible for catching fish with fish cages and the people digging canals were in a difficult situation, because the fish were too slippery and extremely difficult to catch.

Sometimes you can encounter them when fishing, but they will slip away through the gaps in the fish cages. (The gaps between the fish cages in the Qingque tribe are relatively large, in order to catch fewer small fish.)

Loach is too slippery to catch?

After hearing what everyone said, Han Cheng smiled and thought that it seemed that he had to do this matter himself.

Before he could do anything, Lame came over first, patted his chest and said that he had a way and guaranteed to catch loaches for the Son of God.

Han Cheng was very curious about what good idea Bo had come up with.

Loaches, which hide in the mud most of the time, are indeed not easy to catch. But now Bo is so confident. Did he use Rejoice?

The solution that Bo gave was very simple, which was to use thinner branches to weave a more delicate fish cage.

In this way, the loach will not be able to escape once it enters the fish cage.

Han Cheng shook his head after hearing this. This is indeed a solution, but the efficiency would not be very high.

Because loach, unlike fish, doesn't like to swim in water, it is really not easy to put it into a fish cage.

Seeing that his idea 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 better solution.

Do you use a bone shovel to dig by the river? It would be easier to use a fish cage.

In his confusion, 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 to use as a pole.

Use a stone knife and a bone knife to break two sections of bamboo and carefully take out bamboo strips a few millimeters thick.

It is not easy to make bamboo strips without sharp iron tools. Even though Han Cheng was very careful, he still couldn't make thin and even bamboo strips.

Fortunately, he didn't need to weave anything, and the carved bamboo strips needed to be cut into very short pieces, so he could use it as it was.

After that, he found some tree sticks that were thinner than fingers, flattened one end, drilled a small hole in it, and then passed a bamboo strip about two centimeters long that he had cut earlier through each stick. After fixing it, he was done.

Bo looked at these half-meter-long sticks and racked his brains but couldn't figure out how to use them to catch loaches.

In his opinion, this thing was not as reliable as the method he mentioned of re-weaving the fish cage.

Han Cheng had no concerns, as he knew best whether this thing was reliable or not.

Seeing that more than a hundred of these things had been made, the sun was already setting. According to the calculations of later generations, it was probably around five o'clock, and it would set in about two hours, so Han Cheng stopped working.

Although there are still a few things, it should not be a problem to catch one or two bowls of loaches.

Han Cheng, carrying a bone shovel, Bai Xuemei who was carrying the sticks called "Ka", and some other people who were watching the fun, headed towards the river.

Do we really need to use a bone shovel to dig?

Looking at the Son of God carrying a bone shovel and walking without recognizing his relatives, he limped in place, scratched his head, and followed him.

After arriving at the creek, Han Cheng started digging, not for loaches, but for earthworms.

The riverside is moist, and has accumulated rotten grass and leaves over the years. The soil is fertile, and earthworms like to live in such places.

Sure enough, after a short while, many fish were dug out.

Primitive people were much braver than people in later generations and were not afraid of any kind of insects. Under Han Cheng's instructions, Bai Xuemei and a few others picked up cool and sticky earthworms from the soil and placed them in a broken pottery bowl.

Then, following Han Cheng's instructions, pinch the earthworm into small pieces.

Han Cheng vaguely remembered that an earthworm would not die after being cut in half, but would become two.

However, the earthworms that were dug out did not have such an opportunity, because they had just been pierced after being cut off.

Sister Bai Xue pinched the two ends of the bamboo strips on a small stick together with her fingers. Since the bamboo strips were very tough, they would not break.

Then the cut earthworms were threaded on it one by one.

After releasing your hands, the arched bamboo strips will not stretch out due to the restraint of the earthworms.

Seeing that most of the cards had been strung, Han Cheng picked up some of the strung cards and forked them into the mud in the shallow water along the river bank.

Insert it about ten centimeters deep, and insert one every half a meter or so.

The card inserted in the water is not very conspicuous and can be easily overlooked if you don't look carefully.

Time is a bit tight today, so I did it in a hurry. I can tie some feathers on the top of the card later. This way, when it’s time to collect the cards, I can see where the cards are at a glance and they won’t be easily lost.

Looking at the card extending all the way to the edge of the river, Han Cheng smiled.

"Brother Cheng, are you going back now?"

Sister Bai Xue looked at the card in the river and asked with some confusion.

The others also looked at Han Cheng in confusion.

Han Cheng stretched out his hand and fiddled with Bai Xuemei's pigtails, then nodded and said with a smile, "Go back and have dinner. We will be able to harvest a lot of loaches tomorrow morning."

Everyone followed Han Cheng all the way back, looking back at the river from time to time. They really couldn't figure out how these simple sticks could catch the slippery loaches.

The lame man walking behind had a thoughtful look on his face.

"There's another one!"

The sun had not yet risen, the grass leaves were covered with dew, and on the riverside, which was lightly shrouded in mist, the voice of Sister Bai Xue could be heard, filled with joy and surprise.

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 loach, which is usually slippery, has now become extremely honest.

The mucus on its body could no longer save it from its fate, as its mouth was firmly held up by the stretched bamboo strips, preventing it from breaking free.

“There are some here too!”

Xing also shouted happily. They couldn't catch loaches on normal days, but now all of them came obediently, which made them very happy.

For a moment, the riverside was filled with the joy of harvest.

Han Cheng also smiled as he watched this scene. He was suddenly back to the days when he was a kid, catching loaches in the harvested rice fields...

"Brother Cheng, what is that?"
