Chapter 294: Digging a Hole and Fishing
Since Han Li was helping others dig ice holes, he naturally had to chat during the process. His scarf was not used to cover his mouth and nose like the others, but was worn around his neck, so the fluffy beard under his nose had already been hung. A layer of white frost.
When Han Li came to He Mi to help, who would have thought that she would take off her gloves and take out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe him. This action was a bit too ambiguous. Han Li paused for a moment and quickly raised his head to wipe him. Look around.
Fortunately, the boys were digging holes in the ice at this time, and the girls were busy setting hooks to fish. No one noticed them, not even the Yun sisters. Only Qi Zhaodi took a look at the scene, but she didn't know her. Whether it was due to his lack of understanding of the world or some other reason, there was a look in his eyes that was exactly what he should be. This made Han Li feel dumbfounded.
However, Han Li saw that no one was paying attention around him, so he generously allowed He Mi to wipe him clean, then smiled at her and said nothing.
With the ability to decompose cheats, Han Li quickly helped them dig out the ice cave. He stood up and felt that the wind speed seemed to be getting faster now.
But think about it, this is normal. Don't look at the section of the river that Han Li chose to take shelter from the wind. However, this shelter is just not as strong or strong as the cold winds in other places. The inertia of the wind traveling along the river will not allow the river to turn. And there are too many changes.
So Han Li dug out some ice blocks from the surrounding area, combined with the crushed ice he had just cut out, and piled them upwind of He Mi and the others, forming a small ice wall.
Although this ice wall is not high, it will be difficult for the cold wind to blow directly to them when they are there, so that the environment around them will be much warmer.
Qi Zhaodi tentatively squatted behind the ice wall and stood up, then said with a smile on her face.
"Brother Han is so thoughtful. Sister He, let's pick up some rocks and make a fire pit later and light a fire. It will be even warmer if the wind doesn't blow it away."
Han Li helped He Mi and the others build the windshield wall. After the two of them exchanged a few words, he immediately returned to his wife's place.
At this time, the Yun sisters were sitting on badger skin mats, holding the dough prepared in advance and fishing vigorously. It should be said that it may be the oxygen tropism of these fish, or it may be the sisters' good luck. At this time There were already several small fish under their feet.
"Brother Li, what do you think of the battle between me and my sister?"
Although they are all small fish, Han Li will certainly not be stingy with his praise for his wife.
While Han Li was talking to his wife, he used the same method to create a windshield at the wind outlet.
However, this situation is not suitable for making it too big, otherwise it will be a bit conspicuous.
So Han Li tied the donkey to the other side of the wind shelter, which also increased the size of the wind shelter in disguise.
Then he took down a small wooden trough and a bag of fodder from the sledge. Because he didn't tell him in advance that the breeder didn't get up in the middle of the night to feed the donkey, so he brought these things with him when he was leading the donkey. .
After Han Li poured the fodder into the small trough, he secretly put some cornmeal into it and mixed it evenly to give the donkey a snack.
At this time, the Yun sisters were fishing vigorously with dough, but their little faces were already red from the cold.
Han Li drove the dog sledge to the river to pick up a lot of stones, and built a fire pit between the two sisters. It was very easy to light the fire with the help of "Mingzi".
"Wow, it's so warm. Brother Li, you are so nice."
"Are you saying something stupid again? If I'm not good to you, who else can I be good to? You guys are fishing first, I'm going to let the dogs go, and then I'm going to see why Zhang Yaozu and the others haven't finished the ice cave yet. When I get back I’ll fish with you.”
"Brother Li, go ahead. I'll boil water in a casserole and make tea for you when I come back later."
Han Li smiled and patted their hands, then stood up and walked towards Zhang Yaozu and the others.
However, Han Li first let the dogs roam freely, and when they came back from running enough, he could serve as hand and leg warmers for them.
Zhang Yaozu's progress was pretty good, but it was still far behind the several ice caves Han Li had dug.
"Brother Han, the work of cutting ice is really not done by humans. If you use too little force, it won't work. If you use too much force, the iron drill will hit your legs. It almost got stuck into the goose's feet several times. "
"Haha, you guys are not qualified either, but leave this ice cave to me. You two go check the stones and build a fire pit, otherwise it will be very cold later."
Zhang Xiangjun and Zhang Yaozu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then ran to pick up stones obediently.
After Han Li helped the two of them, they didn't even pick up enough stones.
Han Li turned around and came to Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian. They were in similar situations.
However, it was done quickly with Han Li's help. I don't know if they chose a good location or something else. The moment the ice broke, many fish began to jump on the ice, and there were many fish. Squeezing towards the breach.
Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian were able to catch something without even releasing their fishing rods. They were laughing so hard that their eyes were narrowed. Han Li immediately interrupted their joy.
"Don't be silly. If you bring a dip net, fish it out quickly. The fish will disperse later."
The two people were a little dumbfounded. How could they prepare to copy the net?
But at this time, everyone heard their laughter and almost all gathered around. Meng Zaihong said quickly when he saw this.
"I brought a scoop net. I'll get it now."
Meng Zaihong is a girl who grew up by the Haihe River. She prepared a complete set of furniture. After handing the scoop net to Yan Weimin, she even had a casting net in her hand. However, she said with some regret.
"It's a pity that the entrance to the ice cave is too small. Otherwise, this net can at least catch 10 to 20 kilograms of fish."
Everyone was chatting while watching Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian using the scoop net to carry out the fish. At this time, Zhang Yaozu said.
"I heard from an uncle in the village that in the three northeastern provinces where there are big rivers and lakes, winter fishing is carried out in the coldest days of the year. The person in charge there is called a 'fish head'.
These 'fish heads' are very familiar with the habits and waters of local fish, and they also understand the characteristics of the ice layer and the hiding patterns of fish. They can always lead everyone to find the place where the fish spend the winter. The locals call it 'fish lying'.
Then they will instruct everyone to chisel an inlet and an outlet on the ice surface, and chisel some small holes around. After the fishing net is put into the water from the inlet, the left and right sides will be People dragged the fishing net at the same time, walked towards the exit, and finally formed a siege.
When it was almost too late for manpower to pull the fishing net, they would tie a few cows to the side to pull the winch to drag the fishing net. After the fishing net was pulled out from the exit, the smallest fish on the ground were 10 to 20 kilograms, and at most hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fish could be caught in one net. "
Everyone was alert after hearing Zhang Yaozu's words, but they thought that the small river in front of them would not have such a situation, because if the catch here was really that big, it would not be their turn to fish here.
At this time, Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian had stopped fishing. Although those fish were oxygen-tropic, they were not stupid. After a few scoops, the fish had already run away.
But this was enough to make Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian happy, because there were at least 10 to 20 kilograms of fish on the ice now.
When Xu Yongjian saw that there were actually two skinny toads in it, he stretched out his foot and wanted to kick them into the water, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Han Li.
"These toads are good stuff. If you don't want them, I can exchange them with fish."
"Han Li, you are being polite. You borrowed the car to transport things and helped everyone to cut ice. We haven't had time to thank you yet. If you like these toads, take them. Don't ask whether to exchange them or not."
These two people are more open-minded. Without Meng Zaihong's fishing net, they would not have such a harvest.
Not only did they give the toads to Han Li, but they also took out some fish to share with Han Li and Meng Zaihong.
Han Li didn't want to accept the fish, but after seeing Meng Zaihong accept them without any courtesy, he couldn't say that he didn't want the fish, otherwise it would make the girl embarrassed.
Then everyone returned to their own ice caves and started to get busy. Some people saw that Han Li was already angry, so they sent people to pick up stones, but no one was embarrassed to ask Han Li to help build a small ice wall.
Han Li followed his wife and sister-in-law back to their place. Seeing that the water in the casserole on the fire pit had already boiled, Yun Jingjing took out an enamel cup from the travel bag next to her and made a cup of tea for everyone.
The three of them sat around the ice cave, drinking water from the cups in their hands. The dogs lay at their feet. The fishing rods were placed in the water. They would only be lifted up to see when there was movement. If there was a fish, they would be thrown on the ice to freeze. They looked leisurely and peaceful. Even so, they caught a lot of fish here, and they were also very big.
He Mi and Qi Zhaodi had a good harvest. So far, they have caught a lot of fish.
However, He Mi didn't encounter any toads that she wanted most, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying had a very good harvest under the leadership of Meng Zaihong's entire technical staff. They laughed all the time.
Wu Lili, Qi Ruying, and Yuan Hongying were together. After Han Li helped to break the ice, the harvest was not very good.
The worst were Hou Yuhua and Zhang Shulan. These two southern girls really had no talent for ice fishing. So far, they had only caught a few small fish. Not to mention bringing them home, they were not even enough for them to eat later.
But at this moment, the fishing rod in front of Hou Yuhua moved. She quickly pulled it up and found that it was a toad. She was a little disappointed, but then a smile appeared in her eyes. After saying hello to her roommate, she grabbed the toad and ran towards Han Li.
"Brother Han, I just caught a toad and I'll give it to you."
