Tang Jiancheng was not very good at digging ice for fishing in winter. He had heard stories about winter fishing in Chagan Lake in his previous life, and had some knowledge of the skills of digging ice for fishing, but he had never done the specific operation.
Especially on how to find fish through the ice, he had no clue.
Tonight was the first time I looked for it. It was like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. It was purely based on luck.
He found a place where he felt there were fish, and said to his father and Jianbing: "Dad, Jianbing, let's dig an ice hole here, and then radiate out in a square shape, and then dig three more ice holes."
"Okay, fourth brother, how do you dig it?"
Jianbing took out his hoe.
"Just dig an ice hole one meter long and half a meter wide, and then drill another ice hole on the left and right at intervals of five meters."
As Tang Jiancheng spoke, he measured with his feet. After walking to the approximate location, he made a mark.
puff!
Afterwards, Tang Jianbing began to dig holes in the ice with a hoe.
The ice here is not particularly thick, about twenty to thirty centimeters thick. Tang Jianbing went down with his hoe and smashed a large piece of it, almost slipping into the water.
Tang Jiancheng and Tang Genshui were startled and hurriedly came to pull him. Fortunately, Tang Jianbing was flexible enough and jumped out of the danger zone quickly.
"Jianbing, are you okay?"
Tang Jiancheng expressed concern, then took the hoe and gently dug a rough area. "The ice here is not particularly thick, so we cannot smash it directly. Otherwise, after all the ice breaks, we will have no place to stand." . Just dig bit by bit and then move the dug-out ice away.”
While demonstrating, Tang Jiancheng explained.
The process was not complicated. Tang Jianbing tried it twice and quickly mastered the trick, and the speed of drilling ice holes increased.
Tang Jiancheng and Tang Genshui took out the fishing nets. There were two nets in total, both ten meters long. After sorting out the heads and tails, they put them aside and started lowering the nets after Tang Jianbing had dug the ice hole.
In order to successfully open the net underwater, Tang Jiancheng went ashore and cut six sticks that seemed to be seven or eight meters long. He cut off all the other branches, leaving only one or two branches at the top as hooks, and then carried them On to the ice.
By this time, Tang Jianbing had already dug all four ice caves.
In order to attract more fish, Tang Jiancheng asked his father and Jianbing each to insert a stick into the ice hole, stir it quickly, and tap the ice to make a popping sound.
After stirring it for a few minutes, about half an hour later, when he saw that the water in the ice cave was about to freeze again, Tang Jiancheng started to lower the net.
Put down the net head first, then put down both sides. While putting it down, use a stick to hold the edge of the fishing net and expand it to other ice holes.
Because there were few people and it was his first time doing the operation, Tang Jiancheng only built four ice caves.
However, even though there were only four, the three of them worked for almost half an hour before they successfully lowered the fishing net into the water.
"Okay, the next step is to wait. Let's go a little further away and get another fishing net."
Tang Jiancheng walked about two to three hundred meters before stopping. Then he started to dig an ice hole, lowered his fishing net, and waited.
After a busy day of work, it was almost dawn.
Tang Jiancheng quickly urged: "Dad, Jianbing, let's go. Let's quickly set up the net. It will be bad if others see it."
Both of them knew very well what Tang Jiancheng was worried about, and they both sped up.
"Fourth brother, it's so heavy!"
As the fishing net was gradually dragged out of the ice cave, Tang Jianbing felt like he was dragging a big iron ball and said with a smile: "This is at least more than two hundred kilograms!"
"More than that, it's definitely over three hundred pounds."
Tang Jiancheng also grinned, but he was a little worried about whether the fishing net could withstand it.
Fortunately, Qiangzi is indeed the strongest net weaver in his village. Even when all the fishing nets were dragged out of the ice cave, there were no unexpected incidents. The fishing nets were very strong!
"Fourth brother, dad, there are so many fish! Hahaha, this is definitely more than three hundred kilograms!"
Tang Jianbing smiled like a child when he saw the fish crowded together in the fishing net.
Tang Genshui was also very excited. His old pine bark-like face turned burgundy because of the excitement. He couldn't hold back the smile on his lips, "I didn't expect that I could actually catch fish!"
"Hurry up and put all the fish into the basket!"
Tang Jiancheng hurriedly brought the basket, tipped it over, and then chased the fish into it.
The weather was so cold that the fish froze to death quickly after leaving the water, and some were tenacious and jumped around. Several fish jumped into the ice cave again and escaped.
Tang Jiancheng, Tang Jianbing and Tang Genshui didn't care about it.
They are now very distressed: the baskets are missing, how can they get so many fish back?
This fishing net weighs almost 400 kilograms. If you add another net, it will reach 800 kilograms. How can they do it with only three of them?
Tang Jiancheng found that he always underestimated his luck.
Hunting wild boars is like this, catching bison is like this, and fishing is still like this...
Oh, what a damn luck!
He originally just wanted to give it a try, and after he mastered the trick, he would call all the brothers over, but he didn't expect that the Internet would explode as soon as he came. This was such a lucky move that he couldn't stop it!
In fact, he did not rely entirely on luck. In fact, it was too cold these days and the entire reservoir was frozen, so there was an extreme lack of oxygen under the water. After they cut through the ice, oxygen entered, which immediately caused A lot of fish came.
Of course, the most important thing is that there are enough fish in this reservoir!
"Jianbing, go back and call the eldest and third brothers." Tang Jiancheng ordered, "You must be quick."
"okay."
Tang Jianbing turned around and ran away.
Tang Genshui heard that Tang Jiancheng only called him eldest brother and third brother, but the other brothers didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything. He knew very well that when there are more brothers and sisters, there will always be differences in relationship between them.
It may not show up at ordinary times, but it will appear at critical moments like this.
Tang Jiancheng may not even realize it, it's just a subconscious behavior.
In fact, Tang Jiancheng said this on purpose, because when he was down in the previous life, his eldest brother, sister-in-law and third brother and sister-in-law took the best care of him. They would help him from time to time, and several other brothers, sisters-in-law, and younger siblings would also help him, but they all He seemed a bit unwilling and would say some unpleasant things with a gun and a stick.
More than 400 kilograms of fish were all packed.
The two hurriedly went to another ice cave and started trawling.
This network explodes again!
Even heavier than the previous net!
The two of them were so exhausted that they were sweating profusely, and it seemed that they had used all their strength to drag the fish out of the water. It must have weighed more than 500 kilograms!
The crowds are all full of fish!
Every fish weighed at least three kilograms!
The two of them sat down on the ice so tiredly, looking at the fish and grinning stupidly.
Tang Genshui took out his pipe from his pocket, filled it with tobacco, glanced at Tang Jiancheng, took out a pack of large Qianmen from another pocket, and gave him a piece of tobacco.
Tang Jiancheng took it with a smile.
He was a smoker and only quit after he was reborn, but at this moment, he had to smoke a cigarette to express his excitement.
So, the two gentlemen started to puff away at the fish.
