Huo Yishen rowed the speedboat carrying Zhong Ping and stopped at a depth of about 30 meters above the water.
The fishing machine was turned on and a shrill buzzing sound was heard faintly.
Coke was a little agitated and kept nodding his head.
Zhang Chao watched through a telescope and said excitedly after a few minutes, "There is a fish, there is really a fish, it is jumping up."
Jiang Ning took the telescope and saw fish jumping out of the water one after another, and soon their white bellies turned up.
After stopping at one place for about ten minutes, the speedboat rowed to a new location.
Jiang Ning inflated the rubber boat and rowed over with the snakeskin bag.
The dog was in front, paddling with its paws.
The upside-down fish floated away with the current. Four people in three rubber boats rowed towards the upside-down fish, paddled them over and put them into bags.
The fish are not small, most of them are around three to five pounds, and the big ones are around seven or eight pounds.
There are also many varieties of fish in the reservoir, including grass carp, silver carp, carp, crucian carp, black carp and tilapia.
It was raining heavily and several people were fishing separately, so they couldn't see each other clearly.
The reservoir is estimated to be about thirty to forty acres in size. As rainwater continues to gather, the water in the reservoir continuously leaks out, and many fish are washed away by the water.
If it weren't for this disaster, the reservoir would have caught at least hundreds of thousands of fish, which would have been a huge harvest.
However, the fish trap consumes a lot of energy and it is estimated that it can only catch a few fish. All the fish in the reservoir will eventually be washed away by the overflowing water. It is such a pity.
While putting the fish into the bag, Jiang Ning took the opportunity to touch the fish in the water and put them into the space.
Seeing that the fish in the shit shoveler's hand disappeared in an instant, Cola's eyes widened. She had performed another magic trick!
Under Jiang Ning's instruction, the dog has developed a habit that whenever she performs a magic trick, it will immediately be alert and start keeping watch around.
He swam and fished, and in less than an hour, he had filled a snakeskin bag, weighing about eighty or ninety kilograms.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were diligent and did not slack off, and they had already filled two snakeskin bags.
Zhang Chao shouted from a distance, "Slow down, both of you. All the fish have been washed away."
Huo Yishen and Zhong Ping were also fishing. There were eight bags piled under the tree, weighing about 700 to 800 kilograms.
I’m worried about having no fish to eat, and I’m also worried about the fish piling up like mountains. How do I get them out?
"How about we get a few hundred kilograms every day?"
Zhong Ping was worried, "The battery in the fishing machine won't last much longer."
“Can it be charged?”
“You can charge it, but where can you charge it?”
Huo Yishen suggested, "Change the fish first, and then ask them if they can charge it."
They refer to the group of people called Sharp-nosed Monkeys.
Jiang Ning had no objection, so they decided that each person should carry a bag of fish down the mountain and exchange them first.
There are too many fish to carry, so someone needs to stay and watch over them.
Regardless of age or physique, Jiang Ning is the only choice.
After Huo Yishen's back disappeared and she was sure that there was no one around, she moved the remaining four bags of fish onto the rubber boat, rowed to the center of the reservoir and opened the fish trap.
A few minutes later, the fish floated to the surface and turned their bellies up.
Jiang Ning took out a large net and scooped up the fish on the surface of the water and put them into the space...
There are many fish in the reservoir, and they are caught in a timely manner, with about two to three hundred fish each time.
The fish trap was used five times and more than 2,000 fish, weighing several thousand kilograms, were caught.
The fishing device was out of power, so Jiang Ning took out a solar power storage box from the space.
After it was full, they scooped up another wave. I don’t know how much they stockpiled exactly, but it was definitely more than 20,000 kilograms.
We can’t finish eating so many fish. We will find a reason to share some with them later, or exchange them for other supplies and convert them into subsidies.
Jiang Ning recharged the fish-catching device halfway, then paddled along the edge of the reservoir and picked up a lot of dead fish washed by the current, enough to fill three snakeskin bags.
After about half an hour, the dog became alert and soon heard the voices of Zhang Chao and others.
Soon, they arrived at the gathering point. Seeing the three snakeskin bags of fish, Zhang Chao asked in surprise: "Aning, where did this fish come from?"
"When you were away, I searched along the reservoir and picked up a lot of fish."
Jiang Ning looked up and asked, "Is the deal done?"
Zhang Chao was happy and sad when talking about this. "They want fish, but they can't eat so much. Moreover, 2 kilograms of fish can only be exchanged for 1 kilogram of rice. At most, we can exchange for 200 kilograms of new rice. The rest can be exchanged with other things."
I understand. Scarcity makes things valuable. Besides, fish is cheaper than pork.
As food becomes increasingly scarce, prices will naturally rise. It may not be easy to sell 800 kilograms of fish at once.
Jiang Ning asked, "What should we do now?"
Other items include medicines, canned food, salt, oil, clothes, and other miscellaneous items.
Huo Yishen was willing to contribute, "If anyone is in urgent need of food, I can give my share in exchange for medicine, canned food, or oil and salt."
Jiang Ning didn't care. 1803 would definitely need food. After all, all three of them were gluttons.
The Zhong family was in greater need, so the two's shares were divided equally between 1803 and the Zhong family.
If the Zhong family wants broken rice, they can order half the amount, after all, they have a family to feed.
Jiang Ning asked the key question, "Are you still going to catch the fish?"
"Fishing, how can I not fish?"
If you waste food, you will be struck by lightning.
Mother Zhong already had an idea. "If they don't want it, we can make it into fried fish, crispy fish, cured fish, or pickled fish."
In short, there are a hundred ways to eat it.
On the way back, Zhong's mother took a shortcut and discovered a large area of wild kudzu root in the valley. She could dig it up, crush it and wash it into powder. The extracted kudzu powder could be used to satisfy hunger.
Jiang Ning, "..."
Human wisdom is indeed endless.
After discussion, the fish trap was turned on again.
As he fished, Zhang Chao frowned, "Why do I feel like there are fewer fish?"
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, "..." I'm not, I didn't!
Huo Yishen said, "Ultrasound has an effect on fish. When they sense danger, they will run away with the water flow."
