Chapter 60: Fish Farming
Time goes by day by day.
Xiang Yu looked at the bucket in the yard. The ice inside was solidifying very slowly. It would take only half an hour or an hour to solidify.
Right now it takes a full two hours for the ice to fully form, and that’s because the temperature is warming up.
Looking at the temperature of minus 41 degrees Celsius shown on the thermometer, Xiang Yu collected some of the already solidified ice and turned back to the house.
I got up very early today because this day is very special to her, today is her birthday.
After picking up fresh eggs in the morning, Xiang Yu picked a few big ones and made himself a small cake.
When my grandparents were still alive, they would buy a small cake like this on this day, but after they passed away, even I no longer took this day seriously.
In the next five years of the apocalypse, every time this day came, she always wanted to taste a piece of cake.
I want to very much.
After the small cake was made, Xiang Yu put it into the space. Humming a song, Xiang Yu began to take out the ingredients one by one.
Tripe, green vegetables, roast duck, braised chicken feet...
I learned how to cook the hot pot base by watching videos when I had some free time, and the taste is exactly the same as described in the video.
A lot of ice cubes and butter were added, and the fragrant hot pot began to bubble.
As a person who seldom eats chili peppers, Xiang Yu couldn't eat much spicy food before, but in such low temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero.
Eating something with a spicy flavor can warm your body and stomach.
Soon Xiang Yu was so hot that he took off his coat. Sweat oozed from his forehead and nose, dripping onto the table.
After wiping off the sweat with his hand, Xiang Yu fanned himself and drank a glass of ice cola. He immediately felt his throat felt a lot better.
"Delicious..." After eating the hotpot, Xiang Yu cleaned up and lay down on the sofa, rubbing his stomach. The ventilated windows quickly dissipated the hotpot smell in the room.
I took a shower early in the morning and made a wish to Yu that from today on, I would no longer be plagued by bad luck.
Xiang Yu was in a good mood the whole day and went to bed early.
As usual, I went up the mountain to practice archery in the morning, went home to eat at noon, and collected some ice and snow in the afternoon. A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the temperature of minus 33 degrees Celsius shown on the thermometer, Xiang Yu got up, put on his clothes, and stood in front of the door to stretch his hands and feet.
The temperature changes day by day, and as it gradually warms up, the elderly in the village also go out and move around. From time to time, they come together to visit grandma's house.
They are all elderly people of similar age. They can talk a lot as soon as they meet each other, and can basically chat all day long.
They talked about interesting things that happened in the village in the past.
Xiang Yu was holding an iron bucket in his hand. He opened the door and saw three elderly people coming to visit. "Xiao Yu, where are you going?"
"I was just wandering around the back mountain," Xiang Yu exchanged a few words with a few people and then left.
Following the winding mountain road, Xiang Yu took out the snowmobile and drove straight towards the reservoir.
After more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the reservoir. Xiang Yu put away the snowmobile, climbed over the guardrail, and moved down the slope little by little.
The water surface had frozen into a thick layer of ice. Xiang Yu took out the electric saw that he had prepared long ago and cleared the snow on the ice.
He used an electric saw to draw a circle on the ice, and then he sawed the ice bit by bit along the circle until there were no connection points.
The broken ice cubes floated up and down on the water, and Xiang Yu collected all the ice cubes into the space.
Taking out a thick rope, Xiang Yu tied the rope to the iron bucket, leaving a hole on the top of the bucket for the fish to enter and exit.
When everything was ready, Xiang Yu threw some minced meat into the bucket and then threw the bucket into the water.
Soon, the bloody minced meat was diluted with water, and the blood smell dissipated in the water. Xiang Yu took out a stool and sat aside waiting.
After more than ten minutes, Xiang Yu grabbed the rope with one hand and pulled it to the surface of the water.
After lifting the bucket completely, Xiang Yu opened the lid and found six or seven big fish swaying in the bucket.
They were crowded in a small bucket, but they all opened their mouths wide to suck the remaining scraps of meat.
Xiang Yu was surprised, then she put them into the space and put them directly into the small pond. She had already planted a lot of algae under the pond.
I believe they will love being in it.
The water in the space pool is the water collected from the reservoir before.
Xiang Yu repeated the operation several times, but after an hour she could no longer withstand the cold.
He took out an iron bucket, put wood in it, and poured some combustible materials into it. Only after he successfully started the fire did Xiang Yu feel a little more comfortable.
After fishing for more than ten times, Xiang Yu looked at a shrimp in the bucket and laughed out loud.
"There is actually this thing in this lake..." Xiang Yu put in some things that could attract shrimps when he added the ingredients again.
But shrimps are a little difficult to catch, and I only caught a dozen or so several times.
However, two of them are still carrying cubs. If they are taken good care of, there will be endless shrimps in her pond in the future.
There are two kinds of shrimps in the lake, white shrimps and green shrimps.
