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

Chapter 377 Yellow Catfish

In fact, whether it is human beings, wild animals in the mountains, or fish in the water, they are all the same.

To express it in terms of the world of fish, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and when shrimps have nothing to eat, they can only eat mud.

Anyway, the main theme is the survival of the fittest.

Having caught two big fish, Wang An was completely satisfied today.

At this time, a group of small fish had gathered in the ice hole, and the swimming speed of this group of fish was very fast, and the whole school of fish seemed to have taken stimulants.

Wang An knew that it was mainly the blood of the two big fish that attracted the fish.

In fact, the reason why the catfish can appear in the ice hole is entirely because it is attracted by the blood of the sturgeon.

Because the catfish swims relatively slowly but is very sensitive to the smell of blood, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a killer among freshwater fish.

Wang An looked at the small fish in the ice hole and found some green fish in it, so he picked up the large colander and stuck it into the water again.

After a few scoops, the fish in the ice hole were emptied again. Although the harvest was still not much, with less than 20 fish including big and small, this time there were 3 Aohua, or mandarin fish, and 5 Ga Yazi weighing about two kilograms.

Gazi fish,

Its scientific name is Pelteobagrus fulvidraco, also called yellow wax fish, yellow ding fish, and yellow jar fish. Local people sometimes call it ga fish to save trouble.

This thing is one of the few fish that can make a sound like "Ga Ya" and "Ga Ya", so it is called Ga Ya fish.

In fact, in Heilongjiang Province, in addition to this yellow-green yellow catfish, there is also the whitish white catfish.

However, these two catfish are actually the same thing. The white catfish is a variant of the yellow catfish, or it can be said that they are just different in color.

But I have to say, this thing is really delicious, the meat is very tender and tasty.

But in Wang An’s mind, if we were to rank the top three local fish in terms of taste, sturgeon would definitely be ranked first.

The second is aohua, which is mandarin fish. As for the third, Wang An feels that gayazi can be compared with salmon.

As for other fish, except for those common fish, they seem to be not much different. However, there are so many kinds of fish in Northeast China.

So it has to be said that although Wang An is a local, there are many kinds of fish that he has never eaten.

Just talking about the three kinds of fish, five kinds of fish and eighteen kinds of fish, Wang An has not yet eaten all of these 26 kinds of precious fish, not to mention the kinds of miscellaneous fish.

After catching this wave of fish, Wang An planned to call it a day and go home. The main reason was that he took too long and used too much force when cooking the big sturgeon. At this time, both of Wang An's arms were shaking.

Besides, Wang An felt that it was unlikely to catch any big fish in this ice hole, so he said to Wang Li and Niu Dazhuang:

"Hurry up and pack up, load up all the fish, and let's go home."

I didn't expect Wang Li to be addicted to fishing. He said with a bit of regret:
"Fourth brother, this hole in the ice is still catching fish, why don't you fish for a while?"

In fact, Wang An also felt that fishing was quite enjoyable. Although it was quite hard to dig a hole in the ice, the pleasure of catching a big fish was no less than that of catching prey in the mountains.

So when Wang An heard what Wang Li said, he smiled and said to Wang Li:
"This place is so close to home. If we want to fish, we can come here when we have time. Anyway, I'm thinking that we won't go into the mountains for the next few days."

When Wang Li heard that they were not going into the mountains, he couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Fourth brother, why don't we go dig out that granary?"

Wang An asked with a smile: "A granary? It's been there for decades. What's there to dig? Even if we dig out grain, we can feed the animals with it. Aren't you afraid that they will be killed by poison?"

Wang Li nodded and asked, "Why don't we go into the mountains, Fourth Brother? Why don't we go hunting?" Wang An sighed and said, "My uncle said that there are big claws in the mountains. A few days ago in Yushu Village, some people and animals were killed by big claws. I think we should stay out of the spotlight until the order to kill the big claws comes down from above."

The children in the village have basically heard various stories about tigers eating people since they were young, so when they heard that there was a tiger in the mountains, Wang Li's face changed.

However, Wang Li's expression just became solemn. As for fear, there was no such thing at all.

Since ancient times, it has been said that "the more skilled you are, the more courageous you are." The 17-year-old Wang Li is not only an excellent marksman, but has also killed more than one person. It can be said that his courage has been trained to the point of being fearless.

Of course, it cannot be said that he is completely fearless. At least Wang Li is afraid of his parents and Wang An.

The key point is that Wang Li is only 17 years old now, which is the age when "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger", and it is also the age when a person is the most impulsive and passionate.

Therefore, although Wang Li's face was solemn, his solemnity also contained a feeling of eagerness to try.

Because killing tigers is the highest pursuit and dream of every mountain herder.

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li's mind was probably full of thoughts about the tiger, so he simply said "Oh" and stopped asking.

Then the three of them got busy together, catching all the fish, big or small.

Although the small fish are of little use, Wang An discovered that his mother used them to feed the wild boars at home, which was quite good and, more importantly, could save a lot of food.

They loaded all the fish in the sacks onto the sled and drove the sled towards the village.

On the way, Wang An looked at his watch and found that it was still early, less than half past ten, so he said to the two of them:

"You two go to my house first, we'll clean up the fish and then divide it up."

Wang Li agreed: "Yes, Fourth Brother."

But Niu Dazhuang cheered happily: "Hahaha, share the fish, share the fish, hahaha."

Wang An and Wang Li looked at Niu Dazhuang, who was shouting and gesticulating on the sled. They subconsciously looked at each other, then turned their heads away and shook their heads and laughed.

In Niu Dazhuang's world, happiness is that simple.

A few minutes later, the three of them drove the sled back to Wang An's house.

Wang Dazhu, who was working in the yard, saw Wang An and his two companions enter the yard and hurried over to greet them.

When Wang Dazhu saw the two big fish on the sled, he couldn't help but take a breath and said in surprise:
"You guys got all the fish from this boss?"

Before Wang An could say anything, Wang Li said with a smile:

"Well, uncle, what do you think of these two fish? Are they tasty?"

Wang Dazhu looked at the big fish and said subconsciously, "It's awesome, really awesome."

As they were talking, they dragged the giant sturgeon and catfish off the sled.

Just as a few people were gutting the fish, Liu Guilan came back from outside in a panic.

As soon as Liu Guilan entered the courtyard, she said:

"Oh no! There's a big claw in the mountain in front of the village."
