Chapter 66 Fish netting in the dam, a bumper harvest

"Old John, don't we have one?" the members of Rael's camp beside the dam joked loudly.

"You can't afford to lose money on a small business." Old John said nonsense seriously.

Where is the business with a small capital, this is a business with no capital at all.

However, they were just joking to liven up the atmosphere.

Nan Xing thanked Old John in a low voice and declined his proposal, "Thank you, Mr. John, but let's forget it."

"Um?"

Nan Xing touched her nose and very embarrassedly dragged down from the car the fishing rods, nets and other items given by Granny Zhang, as well as her own fishing rod.

"Hahahahaha - it doesn't matter, you can take away as many fish as you can catch." Old John smiled heartily.

"Really?" Nan Xing blinked and stared at Old John.

"real."

"Yeah! Thank you, Mr. John!" Nan Xing cheered, with a big smile on his face.

"Come on, come on Lily!" The people at the dam waved to Nanxing.

"Okay! I'll be right there!" He took three steps and two steps at a time, and ran to the RV.

"Wait." John called Nan Xing again, and someone immediately came forward to help Nan Xing make up for the lack of water.

"Let's go play." John waved his hand and let Nan Xing leave.

With so many people coming to the shelter, it suddenly became lively. Residents living in the dam came out in twos and threes.

The weather was perfect, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing.

Although it is afternoon, the temperature is still very comfortable.

Nan Xing put on a big straw hat and a small white skirt and happily dragged her chair to the edge of the dam.

"Come, let me help you cast the net?"

"Well, thank you, brother Ian." Nan Xing nodded and watched their actions curiously.

A lot of people gathered at the dam. Everyone moved in unison, sitting quietly on the edge of the dam, throwing out the fishhook, and waiting patiently.

Everyone was very quiet, trying not to make any noise for fear of disturbing the fish.

Nan Xing looked around and saw that John Paier and the others were nowhere to be seen. He didn't know what they were doing.

She didn't care, her goal was to survive until the end.

"Okay, you can set the hook." The people next to her helped her hang up the earthworms, but Lily could take all the fish for free and catch more.

The water surface is sparkling, with ripples in circles, and occasionally a fish will jump out of the water.

It makes people look forward to it.

After throwing out the fishhook, Nanxing began to wait quietly. Ian Lulin and the others had already begun to set up camp and make bonfires to prepare for the night.

Others entered the forest. The forest was not the territory of John Sanctuary. No matter how much prey they caught, it belonged to them.

"Lily, you can close the net." The person next to you reminded in a low voice.

"Okay!" Nan Xing nodded, stood still in his original position, lost his temper in his Dantian, braced himself, and began to pull hard.

She exerted all her energy in sucking the milk, and her face turned red from holding back the milk.

So heavy!

Because Old John said that only Lily fished for free, they didn't go to help, but the other members of the shelter were still there.

After struggling to drag the fishing net back to the shore, Nan Xing fell to the ground. Fortunately, both sides of the dam were covered with weeds, so her skirt was not very dirty.

After patting the hem of her skirt, Nan Xing quickly stood up to check the harvest of the fishing net.

"Wow--" Nan Xing exclaimed softly and quickly covered her mouth.

Two big fish, many small fish, and a bagful of shrimps, crabs and snails.

Nanxing observed it and found that it had a greenish-brown appearance, a long and pointed tail, a hard shell, and a rounded head. It was a field snail, not a apple snail.

Can be eaten.

Nanxing got a bucket from the car and started to remove all the dirt.

The two big fish must be kept, and the small fish Nanxing puts them back into the water.

"What a pity." Someone said, Lily was a bit too kind.

Nan Xing pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.

Shrimp, snails and fish can be stored for a long time by drying or pickling.

Crab, Nanxing doesn’t know how to store it for a long time, so it should be eaten as soon as possible.

Putting all the fish and shrimps in the water, Nanxing, with their help, lowered another net.

This dam is quite rich in aquatic products, including carp, grass carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, herring, silver carp, green and white grass shrimp, river clams, river mussels...

Nanxing even caught a cod in the net.

The ecology is quite magical.

Until nightfall, Nanxing played a total of 7 nets.

The harvest was very good.

Later on, she didn't need help from others and could launch and close the net independently. They also taught Nan Xing a lot of skills.

How to choose a fishing net, what bait is best for fishing, what kind of river has the most fish...

In half a day, Nanxing harvested 31 fish, with a total weight of almost 200 kilograms.

There were also 38 kilograms of shrimps, 27 kilograms of river clams, 13 kilograms of crabs, and 31 kilograms of field snails and snails she didn't recognize.

They told Nan Xing that the snail was a snail.

Nan Xing always thought that field snails and snails were the same, but she didn't expect them to be different.

Nanxing directly distributed half of the 200 kilograms of fish to the members of Rael's camp. Nanxing kept a few crabs in buckets to raise, and took out the rest to eat.

There are too many of these fish and they are too conspicuous.

Give them half to shut them up. Of course, the obvious reason is to thank them for taking care of you.

After delivering the goods, I discovered that the members of Rael’s camp had also had a good harvest. They also brought nets. The prices for using nets and fishing hooks are different. They exchanged them for supplies.

Their harvest was much greater than that of Nanxing. Nanxing did not estimate the quantity, but it was definitely several thousand kilograms.

The majority of the troops in Reyer's camp were netting fish downstream of the dam, but Nanxing didn't see them.

To reciprocate a favor, a hundred pounds was nothing, but Nanxing actually gave them half of the harvest.

They sent some meat from game animals.

Deer, wild boar, roe deer, pheasant, etc.

Nan Xing estimated that shrimps and snails were fine, as long as they were cooked once and dried in the sun.

Fish is not easy to handle, as is meat.

Cured fish and bacon last the longest, and there is a refrigerator. She needs a bigger refrigerator, and salt and firewood.

She basically knows the process of making bacon, and the process of making bacon should be similar.

At this time, the smell of fish was everywhere within the temporary residence. Nan Xing felt as if he had been eaten and spit out by a big fish, it was so smelly.

The members of Rael's camp are all processing the prey, and the fish can be kept for a while after being brought back to the camp, so that they can be eaten fresh.

They have enough territory.

Nan Xing cannot, leave a small amount of fish, and she must dispose of the rest as soon as possible.

She has 5 pounds of salt on hand, enough to handle all the fish and meat.

Nanxing immediately took the shopping cart and machete into the forest.

I didn't sleep tonight and worked on it all night.

If you want to eat fresh food, you can buy it at the campground.

"Lily, where are you going?" Bi'er saw it and asked.

"I went to cut some firewood and came back. I want to smoke the fish so that it can be preserved longer." Nan Xing replied.
