NOVEL NEXT Chapter 59 Freedom To Eat Fish
Huo Yi rowed the assault boat deeply, carrying Zhong Ping to a stop at about 30 meters of water.
The fishing machine was turned on, and there was a faint and harsh sound of humming.
Coke was a little dry, and kept arching the dog's head.
Zhang Chao watched with binoculars, and after a few minutes said excitedly, "There are fish, there are really fish, they jumped up."
Jiang Ning took the binoculars, and sure enough, he saw fish jumping out of the water one after another, and their white bellies rolled up after a few strokes.
After stopping in one place for about ten minutes, the assault boat rowed to a place.
Jiang Ning inflated the rubber boat and rowed over with the snakeskin bag.
The dog was in front, paddling water with its paws.
The belly-turned fish drifted away with the current, four people and three rubber boats rowed towards the belly-turned fish, and put them in bags with oars.
The fish are not small, most of them are about three to five catties, and some are even seven or eight catties.
There are also many types of fish in the reservoir, such as grass carp, silver carp, carp, crucian carp, herring, and tilapia.
It was raining in the sky, and several people scattered to catch fish, and the sight of each other was not very clear.
The reservoir is estimated to be 30 to 40 acres in size. As the rainwater continues to gather, the water in the reservoir continues to leak out, and many fish are washed away with the current.
Without this disaster, the reservoir could at least catch hundreds of thousands of fish, which is a bumper harvest.
The fishing equipment consumes a lot of energy, and it is estimated that it will not be able to catch a few times. The fish in the full reservoir will eventually be washed away by the overflowing current, which is really a pity.
While filling the bag with fish, Jiang Ning took the opportunity to touch the fish in the water and put them into the space.
Seeing that the fish in the hand of the shit shovel disappeared in an instant, Coke's eyes widened, she did a trick again!
Under Jiang Ning's teaching, the dog has developed a habit, as long as she does tricks, it will immediately watch around and start guarding.
Fishing while swimming, in less than an hour, a snakeskin bag was already filled, weighing about eighty or ninety catties.
Zhong's father and Zhong's mother are diligent and not lazy, and have already scooped up two snakeskin bags.
Zhang Chao shouted from a distance, "Slow down, you two, the fish will be washed away."
Huo Yishen and Zhong Ping were also fishing, and there were eight bags piled up under the tree, weighing about seven to eight hundred catties.
Worry about no fish to eat, and worry about fish piling up like a mountain, how to get them out?
"How about we get a few hundred catties every day?"
Zhong Ping worried, "The storage battery of the fishing machine won't last long."
"Can it be charged?"
"It can be charged, but where to charge it?"
Huo Yishen suggested, "Change the fish first, and then ask if they can charge it?"
They refer to the gang of sharp-nosed monkeys.
Jiang Ning had no objection, so they negotiated that each of them should carry a bag of fish down the mountain, and exchanged first.
You can't finish the fish, so someone needs to stay and watch it.
Regardless of age or stature, Jiang Ning is the only one.
After Huo Yishen's back disappeared and she made sure that there was no one around, she moved the remaining four bags of fish to the rubber boat, rowed to the center of the reservoir and opened the fishing trap.
A few minutes later, the fish came out of the water and turned their bellies.
Jiang Ning took out a big net to catch 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. There are about two to three hundred fish each time.
I opened the fishing gear five times, and there were more than 2,000 fish, several thousand catties in size.
The fishing device ran out of power, and Jiang Ning took out the solar power storage box from the space.
After it was full, I took another wave. I don’t know how much I have hoarded, but the 20,000 catties are guaranteed not to run away.
Recharged half of the electricity to the fishing device, and then rowed along the edge of the reservoir, picking up a lot of dead fish washed over by the current, including three snakeskin bags.
About half an hour later, Gouzi became alert, and Zhang Chao and the others were heard soon after.
Soon, they came to the meeting point and saw more fish in three snakeskin bags. Zhang Chao was surprised: "A Ning, where did this fish come from?"
"You were not here, so I searched along the side of the reservoir and picked up a lot of fish."
Jiang Ning looked up and asked, "Is the deal settled?"
When mentioning this, Zhang Chao was somewhat happy and somewhat sad, "They want fish, but they can't eat so much, and 2 catties of fish can only be exchanged for 1 catty of rice, at most 200 catties of new rice, and the rest can be exchanged for other things. arrive."
I understand, rare things are more expensive, besides, fish meat is cheaper than pork.
Food is becoming more and more scarce, and naturally the tide is rising. It may not be easy to collect 800 catties 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 is willing to contribute, "Whoever is in urgent need of food, I can give up my share and exchange it for medicine, canned food or oil and salt."
It doesn't matter to Jiang Ning, 1803 must be in need of food, after all, all three are worthless.
The Zhong family was even more scarce, so the share between the two was divided equally between 1803 and the Zhong family.
If the Zhong family wants broken rice, they can add half the amount. After all, the family needs to raise it.
Jiang Ning asked the key point, "Is the fish still caught?"
"Get it, how can you not get it?"
Wasting food will be struck by lightning.
Mother Zhong already had an idea, "They don't want it, let's get it and eat it. We can make fried fish, crisp fish, cured fish, or salted fish."
In short, there are a hundred ways to eat it.
When she came back, she took a shortcut, and Zhong's mother found that there was a large area of pueraria mirifica in the valley, and she could dig it back and smash it to wash the powder. The refined kudzu powder can satisfy the hunger.
Jiang Ning, "..."
Human wisdom is indeed endless.
After discussing, the fishing trap was turned on again.
While fishing, Zhang Chao frowned, "Why does it feel like there are fewer fish?"
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, "..." I am not, I am not!
Huo Yi said deeply, "Ultrasonic waves have an effect on fish, and they will run out with the water flow when they sense danger."
That's right, seek the advantages and avoid the disadvantages. Anyway, if you catch so many, you can't finish it, and you have to worry about how to deal with it.
I opened the fishing gear several times and caught more than a thousand catties of fish, and finally stopped cooking.
Zhang Chao smelled fishy all over his body, and he felt like throwing up. "Let's get rid of the fish first, and then find a way to charge it."
Everyone had no objection, and carried the fish down the mountain after filling their stomachs.
Find a shortcut, this time it's much easier to walk.
After going back and forth several times, all the fish were moved to the villa and piled up, and there were still more than 1,000 catties of fish after deducting the exchange.
It is impossible to bring them back to the community, the Zhong family will be targeted immediately.
Jiang Ning made eye contact with Zhang Chao, and then suggested that the fish be disposed of in the villa.
The Zhong family couldn't wait for it, "This is a good way."
So Jiang Ning and Mother Zhong stayed to slaughter the fish, while the four men took the fish to trade.
After a minute, Jiang Ning got a butcher's knife, and Jiang Ning squatted down to scrape the scales of the fish, dissected the belly, and cut into pieces...
Coke took a fat fish in his mouth, and went to the side to nibble happily.
The unused gas for making meat sauce last time is still hidden in the villa. Although there is not much left, it must be enough for frying fish.
Jiang Ning used rummaging for supplies as an excuse to take out a gas stove, oil and salt, etc. from the fireplace pipe on the second floor.
Mother Zhong was very surprised, and said happily: "You young people are still good at finding things."
Not much oil, but enough to fry up a few pans before they come back.
The mother of Zhong is good at frying, and Jiang Ning continues to kill the fish.
The crispy smell is too strong, I saw that all the fish pieces in the pot were over-fried, and Zhong Mu didn't mean to pick them up yet.
Jiang Ning said euphemistically, "It's too dry to eat, right?"
"You need to fry all the moisture. The weather is easy to get damp again, so you can't keep it for a long time."
Deep frying is not healthy, but filling your stomach and surviving is the most important thing.
Also, storage is a big problem.
Jiang Ning has a choice, so naturally he won’t eat over-fried ones, “Coke likes to eat fish, so I just eat ordinary fried ones.”
Mother Zhong was surprised, how could she finish eating so many fish?
