Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 375: Ice Pick Piercing Giant Sturgeon

After working for an hour and a half, the three of them finally managed to carve a hole in the ice.

Wang An and Wang Li were both extremely tired, but Niu Dazhuang seemed to have no idea what tiredness was. When he saw water coming out of the ice hole, he began to shout excitedly and jumped up and down, full of energy.

To be honest, Wang An felt happy too when he saw Niu Dazhuang who was extremely happy at this moment.

It has to be said that although sad emotions are easily contagious to people around you, the same is true for happy emotions.

Soon after, fish started to be caught in the ice hole, but they were all small fish.

When Niu Dazhuang saw the fish, he pointed at the small fish in the ice hole and shouted like a child:

"Fish, fish, look, the fish are out, hahahaha"

Wang An quickly smiled and comforted him: "Yes, yes, yes, we caught a fish, and we will catch a bigger fish soon."

When Wang An spoke, Niu Dazhuang acted as if he didn't hear anything at all. He didn't even look at Wang An and continued to immerse himself in his own world, shouting and laughing at the same time.

Then Wang An became embarrassed and stopped talking.

The main problem is communication failure.

It may be because there are always people digging holes in the ice to catch fish in the river near the village, so the speed of catching fish is not as fast as that in the mountain rivers.

After Wang An fished out the small fish, he waited for about 20 minutes before big fish began to gather.

After Wang An used the sieve a few times, all the fish in the ice hole were scooped out, and there were less than 10 fish left on the ice.

Not only were there not many, but they were all ordinary fish. The largest fish weighed only three or four pounds, and it was a very common big grass carp.

As for the more expensive and delicious fish, there was not a single one to be seen on the ice.

Wang An looked at the fish jumping on the ice, and Niu Dazhuang who was also jumping happily, and sucked his teeth hard.

This fish is so fucking boring!
However, catching fish is completely random. As for what kind of fish will be caught in the ice hole, it has nothing to do with humans.

Fortunately, along with the fish, there were also a dozen forest frogs that came up.

Only after seeing the forest frog did Wang An feel a little comforted, and he finally felt that this ice hole was of some value.

Wang Li looked at the fish on the ice, frowned and said:

"Fourth brother, did we dig this ice hole in the wrong place? What kind of crap is this?"

Wang An glared at Wang Li and said unhappily:
"Don't you think there are a lot of fish in the river near our village? Where are the fish?"

Wang Li blinked his eyes, scratched his head and said:

"I also heard it from my father. He said that there were quite a few people fishing these days, and the catch was pretty good."

Wang An ignored Wang Li. He inserted a large colander into the ice hole and stirred it a few times. Then he threw the colander away and started staring at the ice hole in a daze.

Wang An had a strong intuition that today's catch was most likely good enough to catch a jackpot.

Wang Li looked at the ice hole that was unwilling to catch fish, and suddenly said to Wang An:
"Fourth brother, this ice hole is probably useless. How about we go to another place and dig another ice hole?"

Wang An was stunned when he heard this. He was so exhausted just for digging a hole in the ice.

Another one? Are you kidding me?
So Wang An asked a crucial question:

"What if I dig another one and still can't catch any fish?" Wang Li glanced at Wang An and immediately fell silent.
As a result, an extremely strange scene appeared on the ice.

The brothers Wang An and Wang Li squatted in front of the ice hole and stared at it in a daze, while Niu Dazhuang was having a lot of fun playing with the frozen fish on the ice, and laughing from time to time.

An hour later, after completing the third attempt to catch fish with a large colander today, Wang An was completely disappointed with this attempt.

Adding together the three times of fishing, there were less than 20 fish weighing more than half a pound, and only more than 20 forest frogs.

The key point is that there is not a single delicious fish, only carp, grass carp, silver carp, and large crucian carp weighing more than half a catty.

It’s better not to mention crucian carp and silver carp, because these two fish are covered with thorns. Locally they are mainly used to feed ducks and geese. As for human consumption, that is unlikely.

In fact, fish is not very delicious without oil, and if you only eat fish without rice, you will feel like you are not full no matter how much you eat.

So if there is no oil in the stomach, and there is no oil when cooking fish, the fish will taste like chewing wax and will not taste good at all.

However, if you eat greasy food every day and add oil when cooking fish, then the feeling of eating fish will be completely different.

It’s so delicious!
At this time, Wang An was wondering whether he could fool his younger sister Wang Xiaoli with the fish he had after dividing them among the three of them.

Then Wang An looked at Niu Dazhuang again and felt that this matter was a bit risky, because Wang Xiaoli's IQ was obviously higher than Niu Dazhuang's.

Just when Wang An was in a dilemma, Wang Li shouted:

"Fish, big fish, fourth brother, the big fish is coming."

Wang An was shocked when he heard that. He picked up a large sieve and was about to insert it into the ice hole. However, when he saw the huge thing in front of him, Wang An was dumbfounded.

The main thing is this fish is so damn big!

In Wang An's previous life, he had never seen such a big fish except on the beach in the south.

Because the fish in the ice hole is a sturgeon.
It was a particularly large sturgeon.

Just the exposed front half of the fish's head is as big as half a hole in the ice. If the whole fish were exposed, how big would it be?
To be honest, when I first saw this giant sturgeon, I thought it was a monster in the water!
Nowadays, although sturgeon is rarer than fish such as "three-flower", it can still be caught occasionally.

Whether it was the one that Wang Dazhu caught during the Chinese New Year, or the biggest fish that Feng Chengmin led everyone to catch in the mountains the night before, they were all sturgeons.

But a sturgeon this big is extremely rare, and even heard of very rarely.

No matter how rare it is, Wang An also wants to make it!

Because anyone who has eaten this thing will never forget how delicious it is.

It can be said that there is nothing unpalatable about this thing, except the gills, gallbladder and intestines, especially the sturgeon roe, which is simply the most delicious of all.

So Wang An threw down the large colander and picked up the ice pick.

Just as the big sturgeon stuck out its mouth again, Wang An's ice pick stabbed out with lightning speed.

I have to say that Wang Anzha’s seriousness is quite accurate.

Because immediately afterwards, Wang An felt a huge force coming from the ice pick, making it difficult for Wang An to hold the ice pick anymore.

Then, Wang An held the ice pick in front of the ice hole and began to shake it left and right like dancing.

This big sturgeon is really powerful!
