Chapter 149: Fishing and Killing Chickens
Han Li thought about what he needed to bring, packed them all, and put some newly made super short javelins in the backpack.
The javelins he used were getting shorter and shorter. Han Li thought more than once whether he should make a few darts.
Han Li considered the place he was going to take them to this time. Although it was considered to be the periphery, it was always right to have more protection.
So he decided to bring the dogs with him. Although these dogs were too small to hunt, their vigilance was not weak at all. If something happened, they could give him an early warning and let them feel the taste of the mountains.
After Han Li packed all these things, he hurried to give the dogs a meal. When he was stroking the dogs one by one, He Mi and Qi Zhaodi came over first.
"Brother Han, I often went to the river to catch fish when I was in my hometown. I can definitely help you catch fish today."
Han Li felt a little headache when he heard Qi Zhaodi calling him brother. She was obviously older than him, but later she changed her name to brother. She didn't change after several times, so Han Li could only let her do what she wanted.
"The place to catch fish today is relatively simple. Just build a small dam there. But why haven't I seen you catch fish before?"
"I see that only aunts and sisters-in-law go down to the river to catch fish occasionally. No female educated youth do this, so they don't dare to go."
Han Li smiled and said, "It's good for girls not to go fishing. If they get their clothes wet and are seen, it is very likely that someone will pull their wife's tongue."
He Mi looked at Han Li with a smile on her face and asked, "Practicing boxing, hunting, and building a bathroom for yourself, now you are actually building a dam to catch fish? I doubt if there is anything else you can't do."
Han Li: "Practicing boxing is taught by my master, hunting is practicing boxing plus the experience of the villagers, and the carpenters in the bathroom can be done with patience, but there are still some things I can't do."
"What are they?"
"Haha, I'll tell you when I have a chance."
At this time, Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying were all packed up, and the last to come were the Yun sisters.
The daytime is getting shorter and shorter now, and everyone should set off as soon as everyone is ready.
Several people followed Han Li along the river bank, and on the way they were asked to collect some soft branches.
They really acted like they were on a picnic, collecting branches and even beautiful wild flowers.
Sometimes they chased each other and had a lot of fun, filling the whole team with laughter.
They walked until the river turned into a stream more than three or four meters wide, and stopped at an open space at a bend.
Han Li put down his backpack and shovel, indicating that everyone had arrived.
"This is the narrowest spot near the water flow. Now I'm going to find some suitable wood. You can weave the branches you collected on the road into a big fish basket. When I come back, we will build a simple dam here. You can use the fish basket you weaved to collect fish before the dam is washed away."
Yun Yingying: "I'll go with you to pick up wood."
"We have been walking for such a long time. You should rest here for a while. If everything goes well, you will be busy later."
Qi Zhaodi: "Brother Han, are there any requirements for this fish basket?"
"It's just a temporary object. There are no requirements. Just don't weave the holes too small."
Then these girls weaved fish baskets and chatted here, and Han Li went to the woods to look for wood alone.
A stream more than three meters wide didn't need much wood at all, and Han Li collected almost all of it soon.
He took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and used these small tree trunks to pile in the stream.
Then everyone blocked the stream with stones and plants,
leaving a hole in the middle of the simple dam, and the woven fish basket was fixed here, waiting for the fish to fall into the trap.
Then they went upstream and used branches to drive the fish downstream. I don’t know if it was the effect of this or there were many fish in the stream, and the fish basket would soon be full of fish.
Han Li poured the fish basket onto the shore, and the fish jumped around. The girls cheered immediately when they saw the fish.
When Han Li took a closer look, most of them were the kind of small-scale salmon with big mouths.
This kind of salmon is full of meat, also known as meat rollers, and the largest size will not exceed 20 cm.
Han Li had seen Tiedan and his friends catch this kind of fish, but most of them were taken home to feed chickens.
There was also a part of yellow croaker, which is also known as sand guzi, yellow tail tiao, and yellow croaker. It is not even as big as the yellow croaker. It should be delicious if fried, but unfortunately, in this era, it is probably used to feed chickens.
Finally, there are some wheatear fish. This kind of fish is widely distributed, and it can be seen from Heilongjiang Province in the north to Yunnan Province in the south.
Yang Xiuying: "Why are they all small fish? But I think they are very good for making fish sauce. Han Li, come on and catch a few big fish to go home and make soup and stew."
Han Li: "This is not up to me, but this time we should be able to harvest some big fish by sinking the fish basket directly to the bottom."
After there were fish on the shore, the few of them did not go upstream to play in the water. They all started to kill the fish and clean the internal organs by the stream, and then spread them on the stones beside to control the water.
Han Li watched the fish basket from the side. It would not take long for the fish basket to be lifted again.
This time there were a few more garfish in it, and friends in the south called it yellow croaker.
People in the Northeast like to eat it with soybean paste after catching it, while friends in the South like to make soup with it. This can be answered from Yang Xiuying's shouting.
There was still no big fish in the third basket, and even Han Li was a little anxious.
Take these small fish fry home to make fish paste today? This is a bit inconsistent with his characteristics as a carnivore.
After Han Li fixed the fish basket this time, he took a wooden stick and used his mental power to drive the fish upstream.
He really caught a few big catfish weighing more than two kilograms in the Northeast, so he had meat for tonight.
However, at this time, Han Li saw a few pheasants flying not far ahead, and the dogs were stopped by him before they barked. He picked up a few javelins and chased them.
"Han Li, did you find something?"
Yun Yingying saw Han Li's actions at the first time and asked directly.
"Shh."
Han Li turned his head and made a silent gesture with his index finger at the corner of his mouth, and then continued to move forward.
Everyone else looked at Han Li's actions curiously, and Yang Xiuying whispered.
"What do you think Han Li found? It can't be a dangerous animal like a wild boar or a wild wolf."
He Mi: "No, if it was a dangerous animal, Han Li would remind us to pay attention. He must have found some small animals."
Han Li heard the clucking and clucking of pheasants from a distance, and slowly approached to see five pheasants, one male and four females.
Han Li placed a few javelins within reach, holding one in each hand, staring for a while, and then threw the javelins with both hands continuously.
"Cluck, cluck."
Then Han Li stood up with a smile. The vigilance of pheasants is far less than that of flying dragons. Six javelins left four of the five pheasants, and the colorful rooster was left.
When Han Li came back with the pheasants, Yun Yingying was the first to greet him.
"Han Li, you are so amazing that you shot down four pheasants. How did you find them just now?"
"When I looked up, I happened to see them landed not far ahead, and then I ran over to try my luck. Now it seems that my luck is not bad."
Yun Jingjing took the pheasant from Han Li and said, "Take these home to eat, or what?"
"Didn't we bring the pot with us when we came here? Then let's stew two here, otherwise this outdoor trip will always be a little regretful."
Yang Xiuying: "Great, I'll go move stones and build a stove."
Qi Zhaodi looked at the scars on the pheasant with incredible eyes, and spoke after a long time.
"Brother Han, did you shoot all these pheasants with those small wooden sticks?"
Han Li: "Yes, but those small wooden sticks are carefully selected. Wood that is too light or too soft cannot be used. Moreover, there are some force-generating techniques in my boxing practice. They are not just thrown casually."
He Mi looked at the wounds on the pheasant. She found that these wounds were much smaller than when the two of them encountered wild wolves. Does this mean that Han Li's kung fu has improved again?
Hao Hongmin noticed He Mi's eyes and asked: "Sister He Mi, is there anything wrong with this pheasant?"
"Ah, no, I just sighed that Han Li's technique seems to be more accurate than before."
"Accurate? Oh~ If you hadn't said it, I almost forgot that you two killed wild wolves together."
"What do you mean by killing together? I was hiding behind and didn't dare to move at all."
Han Li took Yun Yingying to find some mushrooms and wild vegetables nearby to put in the pot later, and the cleaning of fish and pheasants was left to them.
After leaving the sight of the crowd, Han Li held Yun Yingying's hand and gradually took her into his arms.
To be honest, this was the first time that the two of them hugged each other outside in broad daylight. Looking at Yun Yingying's still somewhat shy face, Han Li slowly lowered his head.
Han Li was a little unsatisfied with the incident. If it weren't for the fact that this place was far away from his secret base, Han Li really wanted to take her there to play.
Yun Yingying was held in Han Li's arms to calm her mood. At this time, she suddenly thought of what she came out for.
"Han Li, let's find something quickly, otherwise we won't be able to put it in the pot in time, and they might laugh at me."
"We are dating, and their laughter is just jealousy of you."
"Oh."
Having said that, Han Li quickly took Yun Yingying back.
At this time, the pheasants had been put into the pot, but the pheasants put into the pot here were a bit miserable.
Because it is not convenient to use hot water to scald the feathers in the wild, these two pheasants were directly skinned by them.
