When we arrived at Heishui River, the snow on the river surface had been cleaned up, revealing the thick ice layer below.

Winter hunting is a hunting event organized by people living in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia to make up for the lack of food in winter.

In later generations, winter fishing became a tourist attraction.

The widest part of the Heishui River is more than 150 meters, and of course there are also narrow areas twenty or thirty meters wide.

The widest water surface is chosen for winter capture.

The first step in winter fishing is to find a fish nest, that is, to determine the location of the ice cave. This is a technical task. Only experienced fish handles can accurately find a fish nest.

Standing on the ice layer, Zhang Lang blinked.

The fish at the bottom of the river swim around clearly, clearly reflected in Zhang Lang's mind, and he could even clearly feel the emotions of the fish.

OK! It must be admitted that this is also a skill brought by the gods of the land. As a god, even the gods at the bottom have divine consciousness.

The fish head is from the farm. The farm is located at the berth of the Heishui River. There is a Xianren Lake connected to the Heishui River. It has been a livelihood of fishing for generations.

When Zhang Lang and the others arrived, Yuzhatou Tian Changji'an had already found the fish nest and set the location of the ice cave.

Ice caves are usually 10 meters to 15 meters each. The number of ice caves is determined based on the size of the fishing net. The largest fishing net requires more than 500 ice caves to be chiseled.

Except for the larger ice holes at the entrance and exits, the others are small holes of 20 to 30 cm, which are used to control the direction through the poles.

Of course, that was later generations. Now there are only seventy or eighty ice holes that have been dug. After all, the most primitive method of pulling the net is used.

Use oxen, mules and horses to pull the winch to traw the net. If the fishing net is too big, it cannot be pulled.

Zhang Lang stood on the ice layer and quietly checked the location of the ice cave.

I have to admire the command of the working people. Tian Ji'an chose the ice cave location and wrapped a group of fish in it.

This is a big fish, with fish one foot or two feet long abounding, and many large fish more than three feet long were even found.

"Brother Ji'an, let's help too to see what we can do!"

"The wolf cub is here! You can watch it first, and wait a while to help you pull the Internet cafe!" Tian Ji'an, who was in his fifties, smoked a cigarette pot and greeted Zhang Lang with a smile.

OK! These people can do this job, and work with the cattle eating grass on the shore.

However, Secretary Zhou, Director Tong and the others were unwilling to do it and watched, "Brother Tian, ​​let's help dig an ice hole too! We have done this job before!"

"Secretary Zhou, why bother you!" Tian Ji'an put down the tobacco pipe and said crampedly.

"It's okay, we came here just to reminisce about the past. In the early years, we made ice nests in order to stutter!" Secretary Zhou said with a smile.

Zhang Lang joked beside him: "Oh! Old squad leader, you have done this job!"

Secretary Zhou recalled the past and was very excited, "What's wrong with this job? I tell you that my ability to find fish is no worse than that of a fish-handler! I think if I hadn't joined the army back then, I might have dried a fish-handler too!"

Director Tong smiled and said, "Haha! You don't know the wolf cub. When I crossed the Yalu River and fought against the United States, the team had food. The old squad leader took us to dig ice nests to catch fish as food. He also received a third-class merit for the old squad leader!"

"Hmph! Hooligan!" A voice next to him interrupted the conversation between Zhang Lang and Director Tong and others.

The women's director Tang Yuan was also watching the winter catch. When he saw Zhang Lang, he stared at his round eyes and said angrily.

She was still resentful of Zhang Lang's case for asking her to teach gynecology knowledge lectures to the village women and fooling her to teach the children.

"I said to Comrade Tangyuan, why am I a hooligan? You are accusing your leader! Also, if you don't teach this, why are you here to do it?" Zhang Lang glared at Tangyuan, put on the air of a village director, and scolded him.

"You have to worry! Just call a big hooligan! A bad hooligan!" Don't say that Tangyuan looks so angry that she looks really good. She pouted her round mouth and said in a soft voice: "Can I get some fish for the students to add to the meal?"

The round face, which was a little fat, was angry, like a ripe peach, and was particularly tempting.

Maybe the two were born with different horoscopes. Since Tangyuan came to Xilong Villa, they have caused some trouble for Zhang Lang every now and then. Now it’s better. As long as they see Zhang Lang, the first thing they say is a hooligan, a big hooligan.

Zhang Lang is not good at being serious with a girl, so he has to hide from her.

Zhang Lang was fighting with Tangyuan, and Secretary Zhou and Director Tong had already devoted themselves to the work of digging ice caves.

Zhang Lang also ran over, took a handful of ice horns, and still chiseled ice.

Children in rural Northeast China all have the experience of chiseling ice nests to catch fish. Although they don’t know how to look at fish nests, in this era, there were groups of fish in the Northeast River. It’s not nonsense to scoop fish. As long as a hole is chiseled, fish will come out.

Zhang Lang is still very skilled when playing Bingyu.

There are many people and great power. In an hour, more than 100 ice caves will be chiseled.

Under the influence of atmospheric pressure, fish about two feet rushed out of the ice cave and jumped on the ice for a few times, freezing and stiffening.

Secretary Zhou stood up, beat his waist and said with a smile: "I'm so old. I used to be tired of chiseling ten or eight ice holes in one breath. Now I can't do it anymore. I've only chiseled one, so I can't stand the waist."

Director Tong also put down the ice horn, pointed to the fish that jumped out and said with a smile: "There are quite a lot of fish! I see that the ones that jumped out by myself are 1,800 pounds!"

After working for a long time, it is now a time to enjoy the harvest. Secretary Zhou and others are very satisfied with the fruits of their labor.

Director Ding smiled happily at the big fish struggling dyingly on the ice, "This fish is really big. Just what I see is seven or eight more than one meter!"

"Dear squad leader, we have no shortage of food in the mountains. Usually, we often catch fish in the fields. Just one Xianren Lake is enough for them to catch, so there are too many big fish in the river." Zhang Lang explained with a smile.

He turned to the villagers who were watching the fun and ordered: "Come on, take these fish to the village primary school and add extra meals to the children."

Tangyuan stood on the ice and kept staring at Zhang Lang, looking at him, making Zhang Lang feel uncomfortable.

The fish was out, so I hurriedly asked someone to send her to the school so that she could be sent away.

Tangyuan snorted and took the people and carried the fish in a basket and left.

After the ice hole is made, the next job is to penetrate the rod. From the entrance to the net, pass the connecting rod connected to the fishing net, and follow the small ice holes and pass the connecting rod to the outlet.

In this way, the fishing net forms a circle under the water, surrounding the fish.

Walking through a connecting rod is also a kung fu job, and people with inexperience cannot do it.

"The fish is coming!"
