Chapter 59 Winter Fishing



After they were done, Qiuhua, Zhang Shouquan, Wazai and Qiu Yantang each got a meatball.

The meatballs were relatively large. Qiu Yantang took a bite and found that they were made of pure meat with only a small amount of flour added. The taste was similar to what she made, but it tasted even better!

This taste is absolutely amazing!

“It’s delicious!”

Qiu Yantang ate a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of four-happiness meatballs. The meat in the meatballs was not cut too finely and tasted particularly good.

"So this isn't a pre-made dish. Who made it?"

"Quack, quack, quack..." The frog baby made a croaking sound again. It seemed that this was a mystery, but Qiu Yantang didn't care much about it.

It is soon time to go fishing. In the Northeast, winter fishing is carried out, which, like hunting, is a very important activity.

"Tangtang, the ice is nearly two feet thick. How can we fish?"

Lan Qiqi really didn't understand. Fishing in the middle of winter must be particularly difficult, right?

The weather is so cold and the ice is so thick.

"Of course I'll smash a hole in it. The fish at this time is much more delicious than what you would imagine, without any earthy smell." Qiu Yantang likes to eat fish, but she doesn't like fishy fish. If it's particularly fishy, ​​she won't be able to eat a second bite.

The fish in this season are good, with tender meat and no earthy smell. Most importantly, they are easy to catch because of the temperature.

Jin San and Qiu Zongsheng took a lot of large iron sticks. The ice layer was quite thick and could hold back the people on top. The people in Qiujia Village were divided into several groups, each of whom would perform their duties at that time.

Sacrifices are required before winter fishing. Qiu Yantang simply asked someone to set up an incense table and perform a simple sacrifice. There is no problem at all. After all, Qiu Yantang is here and can tell at a glance whether there is a problem or not.

All the old people and children in Qiujia Village came out. After all, this was a relatively important activity. They took advantage of the fact that they could still go out to have a look. Once it snowed heavily, many people would not be able to go out.

Feng Sipo came over just as they finished the sacrifice.

"Captain Feng."

"Feng Sipo, do you smell the fishy smell?" Qiu Yantang said. He came quite punctually, just at the beginning.

"Captain Feng is not a cat, what are you talking about!"

Before Feng Sipo could say anything, Zhang Wenhui started shouting, as if this matter had something to do with her.

Qiu Yantang glanced at her indifferently and ignored her.

At this moment, Feng Sipo looked at Qiu Yantang and said, "Yes, I am a cat, but I came here because of the smell of fish."

Zhang Wenhui felt embarrassed, but she couldn't say anything. She didn't understand why Feng Sipo always sided with Qiu Yantang.

In her opinion, Qiu Yantang was a country bumpkin at heart, completely different from her, who was a real city dweller.

This was not said out loud, but if we count three generations back, everyone is a rural person.

Qiu Yantang looked at Feng Sipo and laughed, "We don't have anyone born in the year of the cat, hahahaha."

"Little ancestor, shall we begin?" Qiu Guangdong looked at Feng Sipo and felt that this guy was a little weird.

How can I be so worthless in front of my little ancestor?

"Okay, everyone, let's start fishing. We're sure to have a big catch this year."

After saying that, Jin San and the others split into several groups and continued to use iron sticks to pierce the ice. The ice was quite thick, about half a meter, so it was a bit difficult to pierce it.

This time was very different from later times. At that time, the global warming occurred and the temperature was only around minus 20 degrees Celsius most of the time in winter.

It's not even the coldest yet, it's already around minus 30 degrees Celsius, enough to freeze your jaw off.

After about an hour of digging, Jin San and his team were the first to create a hole in the ice, which was about 50 centimeters in diameter. When the 50-centimeter ice layer was completely penetrated, fish began to swim towards them, both big and small.

Two of them even accidentally jumped directly onto the ice.

In winter, the water temperature is low and the oxygen content is also low, so after they break the ice, the fish run here to breathe oxygen.

"You can scoop up a lot of fish even with a ladle."

Qiu Zongsheng laughed so hard that his eyes were invisible. This year was really a prosperous year. It was true that the little ancestor brought good luck to their Qiujia Village.

Qiu Yantang was also very happy. After all, she imagined that the harvest this year would be good. He Zhen had two different feelings when he saw the good harvest.

"Get off the Internet!" After Qiu Yantang said this, he sprinkled some jasmine powder into the hole he came out of first, which can attract various fish.

The nets they use are the kind that can catch fish weighing more than two kilograms. If they are smaller, they will escape, and they will catch them again next year when they grow bigger.

Small fish have many bones and are not as delicious as big fish.

Everyone worked together to get the net down.

The other two holes were also pierced, and Qiu Yantang followed the same method.

Feng Sipo noticed that Qiu Yantang sprinkled some powder into the water. If he was not mistaken, the fish all rushed towards the powder.

"Tangtang, what did you put in the water?"

"That's fish bait made from dried pollen. It's very useful. If you like fishing, I'll give you some. You can use it when you go fishing in the future."

This flower will mature in a few days on the golden soil. It can be used to refine the Spirit-awakening Pill, which is the lowest grade material and is not too precious.

But Qiu Yantang didn't understand. If the space could only be used to grow flowers, then no other materials would be produced in the flower fields.

Qiu Yantang usually stopped thinking about things that he couldn't figure out.

The main point is not to consume yourself.

Feng Sipo was very satisfied. "Okay, give me some. Is this useful for sea fish?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yantang looked a little strange. "Of course, you can, but don't use too much. I'm afraid the fish will swallow it..."

Feng Sipo's heart exploded...

Tangtang cares about me...

Qiu Yantang just didn't want to get involved in the lawsuit.

"Yeah, don't worry, Tangtang."

When Qiu Yantang heard him say that, he handed him a small packet, but it was really just a small packet.

At this time, Qiu Guangdong had already organized Jin San and others to catch fish.

There were so many fish that Jin San and his companions were not prepared at first and almost fell into an ice hole.

Qiu Yantang and Feng Sipo quickly grabbed the net together.

Qiu Guangdong saw that there were quite a lot of goods. "Leave someone here to watch over them, and the rest of you go to Jin San to help."

Everyone rushed over, and when the net was pulled up, there was a fish every few centimeters inside it. The net and the fish were both on the ice, and slowly the fish were no longer frozen.

It was so cold that I was frozen to death.

"Okay, everyone else go pick the fish!" Qiu Guangdong said, and the elderly people, women, and children in the village all went to pick the fish.

Place the fish directly on a large felt cloth after picking it, freeze it for a while, and it will be fresh!
