After the stone burns red, it will continue to dissipate heat. Even if it is in ice water, it will be difficult to cool down after a while.
The place Jiang Xuan chose was not in the middle of the river, but at a bend of the river, relatively close to the shore, and the ice was about a foot thick.
"Gudong!"
As time passed, the ice surface was gradually heated by the hot stones, and then melted into a pit. At a certain moment, a large stone fell directly into the river.
Then, other stones fell into the river one after another.
Jiang Xuan pointed to a place not far away and said: "Follow this method and make more ice holes!"
"Okay!"
Although I don’t know why Jiang Xuan wanted to make an ice hole, everyone was very enthusiastic about the work, and Undou and others immediately went over to melt the second ice hole.
Chi Shao stood next to Jiang Xuan and asked curiously: "Are these holes made for fishing?"
Jiang Xuan was using a sharp stone to dig a wider hole in the ice. When he heard Chi Shao's question, he turned around and said, "It's not fishing, it's catching fish."
"Fishing?" Chi Shao felt puzzled.
"Yes, just use the rattan basket to catch the fish directly."
Jiang Xuan's words made Chi Shao feel very incredible. Are fish that stupid? If you just use a rattan basket to catch them, won't they run away?
However, her doubts did not last long, as there was sudden movement in the ice cave.
"Crash..."
A big fish suddenly jumped out of the water, opened a pair of transparent wings after leaving the water, glided for a moment, and then fell to the ice with a "chirp".
"Flying fish!"
Jiang Xuan screamed in surprise. This kind of fish was the same fish that entered the trap and then flew away when he first set up the fishing trap. It made him very angry at that time.
Later, he set up many traps, but he never caught this kind of fish again, which was a big regret in his heart.
He never expected that he would encounter a flying fish that jumped out under such circumstances today.
"Pa bang bang..."
The flying fish that landed on the ice flapped its tail in panic, but it was not a bird after all. Its wings could only be used for gliding and could not really take it into the sky.
"Haha, you can't run away this time!"
Jiang Xuan walked over in surprise and grabbed the flying fish, not giving it a chance to escape again.
There are many sharp bone spurs on the flying fish, including the transparent wing tips. Jiang Xuan soon learned to be smart after being stung twice.
He directly opened the wings of the flying fish and held the softer body of the fish underneath with both hands, so that he would not be stung.
This flying fish is very big and heavy. Jiang Xuan estimated that it weighed more than ten kilograms. It was also very powerful when struggling.
Jiang Xuan happily put it into a rattan basket with a lid, and closed the lid of the rattan basket.
When Chi Shao, the nearby Teng tribe members, and the tourists saw this flying fish, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
However, this is just the beginning, the next scene is enough to make everyone crazy!
"Crash..."
There was a lot of movement in the river under the ice cave.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Immediately afterwards, flying fish rushed out of the water one after another. They spread their wings like a large flock of birds, gliding in the air, and finally landed on the ice.
This scene is very rare. Where have the tribesmen seen this?
"Pa bang bang..."
Dozens of plump flying fish flapped their tails on the ice, and everyone in the Vine tribe went crazy.
"Quick, catch them!"
Uncaria shouted, then excitedly rushed towards the nearest flying fish.
Others were not willing to lag behind. Even if they slipped on the ice, they did not care and rushed towards the flying fish.
"Food, food!"
Jingjie held a flying fish in his hands, and his whole body trembled with excitement. At this moment, for some reason, he wanted to cry.
When Feiyu jumped out on his own initiative, Jingjie's worried heart was finally relieved. Jiang Xuan didn't lie to him. Sure enough, he had a way to get a lot of food in winter.
The emotions of the tourists were obviously out of control. Some were holding the flying fish and crying, while others were holding the flying fish and laughing.
At this moment, no one laughed at them, because including Jiang Xuan, they felt as if they were dreaming.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
However, this was not over yet. More flying fish rushed out from the ice hole. They spread their wings, gracefully flew through the air, and then landed on the ice.
"Quickly, put all these flying fish into rattan baskets and move them back to the tribe!"
Jiang Xuan shouted, and everyone reacted and quickly put the flying fish into the rattan basket.
Soon, all the rattan baskets they brought were filled!
After those flying fish left the water, they could not be tossed for long, and they were quickly frozen to a solid state. They were piled one by one in the rattan basket, which looked very pleasant.
Jiang Xuan said to Chi Shao: "Sister, take them to carry the fish back first and put it away before coming back!"
"Okay!"
Chi Shao immediately carried a cane basket on her back. Although she was already a witch, she was never ambiguous when working and did not let others help.
They carried baskets of fish back to the tribe. The tourists who stayed in the tribe went crazy when they saw so many fish, and they wanted to lie down on the fish and kiss them.
The location of this river is relatively remote, and there are no tribes nearby that are good at fishing, so the fish resources are extremely rich.
Those flying fish were just the first fish to escape. Soon, more fish gathered near the ice hole, some jumped out of the water, and some opened and closed their mouths in the water to breathe air.
Jiang Xuan led some people to fish up the fish desperately, while others carried the fish back to the tribe in rattan baskets like ants.
This crazy scene lasted for a long time before gradually fading away.
There are fewer fish swimming to the ice cave, but the number of fish stored in the Vine Tribe has reached an extremely astonishing amount.
Jiang Xuan finally stopped. He placed a few branches where there were ice holes to mark them, and then allowed the ice holes to refreeze.
"With this much fish and the stored food, we should be able to eat it for a long time."
Jiang Xuan returned to the bamboo house and felt very satisfied looking at the mountains of fish.
Of course, he knew very well that the reason for today's grand occasion was that the fish in the river had never been caught and there were too many.
If you do it a few more times, it will become difficult to "pick up fish" directly like today.
Jiang Xuan does not intend to dry up the lake to fish. After overcoming the difficulties this winter, he plans to open more ponds and raise more fish instead of going all the way to the river to fish.
He even thought about trying to raise fish fry by himself in the future. If he could succeed, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of fish to eat.
In the evening, Jiang Xuan carried two big flying fish to the house where the old witch lived and gave them to him to eat.
"Is it possible to fish in such heavy snow?"
The old witch felt a little unbelievable, but the facts were before his eyes, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
He couldn't help but sigh again, this vine tribe can always bring surprises to people.
The old witch curiously asked Jiang Xuan how they caught the fish. Jiang Xuan only said that he accidentally discovered that when the ice was cut open in winter, the fish would jump out on their own.
After hearing this, the old witch was amazed again. He felt that Jiang Xuan had hidden many secrets, but he did not delve into them.
Having lived to his age, he has seen a lot of strange things, and he understands that not everything can be understood thoroughly.
That night, everyone in the Teng tribe ate freshly caught big fish, and the tourists also had a rare meal.
As for the uneaten fish, in this cold weather, there is no need to worry about spoilage, you can keep it and eat it slowly.
……
Do you think this grilled flying fish looks like a "monthly ticket"?
