Chapter 40 Fishing Line and Hook
Back then, at the Song family's home, Song Chuman started learning to cook at the age of four and was forced by Li Cuicui to cook at the stove.
Therefore, the two adults were not surprised to see her cutting and washing skillfully.
Sheng Shuwan asked curiously, "Aman, what dish are you going to make?"
Song Chuman cut enough kelp for them and the chicks, and hung the remaining kelp on the wall of the cave, waiting for it to dry naturally.
"Make a kelp and pork rib soup. It's perfect for my mother, as she's pregnant. It's good for her health."
Sheng Shuwan was very relieved. Her daughter was really thoughtful.
Song Chuman chopped the ribs with a relaxed look on her face.
It’s good to be strong.
In her previous life, she had also bought unchopped ribs. She was weak, so she had to use all her strength to chop them properly every time.
Put the pot on the stove, put the ingredients in the pot, light the fire and stew it, and you can eat it when it gets dark.
Song Chuman glanced outside the cave and said, "Father, Mother, I'm going to take a look at the foot of the mountain over there."
Song Chuhuai was his elder sister's little follower, and he quickly asked, "Sister, what are you doing over there? I want to go too."
Song Hexiu knew his daughter was very strong, and seeing that she wasn't far away, he said with confidence, "Go ahead."
Song Chuman looked at her brother and said, "I'll be back soon. There's still broth stewing on the stove. Please help watch the fire. Be good."
Song Chuhuai could only nod sullenly, "Okay."
Song Chuman ran out of the cave and came to a few trees in the distance.
Since Song Hexiu wanted to contribute to the family, she would help him.
As far as she knows, the people in Qingyu Village get their income from either catching seafood or going out to sea, and very few people know how to fish.
After all, all the fish near the coast have been killed, and not much can be caught, let alone fishing. It is a waste of time for the villagers.
But she has spiritual abilities. As long as she adds spiritual power to the bait, she will definitely be able to attract the fish to bite the hook.
Song Chuman was choosing the tree carefully.
Using purchased hemp rope as fishing line is still too wasteful for their family now.
She used tough bark instead.
Although there are many saline-alkali lands in Qingyu Village, crops cannot be grown there. However, the soil in the mountains far away from the sea has a lower salt content, so many trees are still suitable for growing.
According to what she had learned, the ancient people of China in their previous life initially used fishing lines made from special tree bark.
Soon, Song Chuman found the tree she was looking for. She didn't know its name, so she quickly peeled off some bark with a knife and after some tidying up, she made a purely natural fishing rope.
She made some extra as a backup.
As for the fish hook, Song Chuman also found several trees and used their trunks to make the shape of the fish hook.
Fortunately, she was lucky and found a suitable one after comparing three types of trees.
She was very strong and quickly carved the wooden fishhook.
To be on the safe side, she made a total of ten wooden fish hooks.
In just a short while, Song Chuman saw that it was getting dark, and not wanting to worry her parents, she quickly took the prepared equipment and returned to the cave.
Song Chuhuai saw what his sister was holding and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you holding?"
"Good stuff." Song Chuman put the things down and put the bran and some kelp together. "Ahuai, cut it like this... and then do this... the task of feeding the chicks is left to you."
Song Chuhuai said excitedly: "Well, I will definitely do it well."
After saying that, he went to tinker with it.
At this time, Sheng Shuwan had already put the meat in water to cook.
