On the back of the rock, the water flow will be relatively still, which is the calm water zone.
In winter, there is insufficient oxygen underwater, and fish do not like to swim. Therefore, fish are usually found in these calm waters.
Once they found the right spot, they began to painstakingly strike the ice with an iron rod, gradually creating a hole in the ice.
This was no easy task; the brothers put in a lot of effort and managed to break through a small ice hole.
Next, Sheng Xiping took out a homemade short fishing rod, baited the hook, and extended it below the water's surface through the ice hole.
In winter, there is insufficient oxygen underwater, so fish don't swim much. When the ice breaks, the fish swim to the ice hole to breathe.
The fish bait that Sheng Xiping used was something he had made before, sealed in a bottle. When he needed to use it, he would pour out some, mix it with a little water to form a ball, and that was it.
When the fish swim over to breathe and suddenly discover something delicious, how could they resist taking the bait?
Sheng Xiping chose a good spot, and soon after the hook was cast, fish started biting.
The brothers quickly pulled the fishing rods up and pulled the fish up from the bottom. Good heavens, it was a thin-scaled fish about a foot long.
"Wow, what a huge slender scale! Brother, you're amazing!"
Sheng Xitai came along too, and when he saw the fish, he was overjoyed.
If there's fish, it means there's good food to eat.
During the months that his older brother was away from home, the family's standard of living had clearly declined, so Sheng Xitai liked it best when his brother was home, because there was meat to eat from time to time.
Sheng Xiping picked the fish off the ice and threw it onto the ice of the river without putting it in a bucket.
At this time, the temperature is minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius. When the fish are out of the water, they will jump around for a while at first, but gradually they will stop jumping. After a while, they will gradually freeze.
