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

Chapter 388 Something happened to the tiger-fighting gang

When Wang An and Zhang Shuya returned, Wang Li had already caught a fish.

This time it was pretty good. Although there were a large proportion of crucian carp, grass carp, carp, silver carp and many other miscellaneous fish, there were actually two big mandarin fish weighing five or six kilograms, and a salmon.

In Wang An’s opinion, as long as a good fish appears, then catching the fish will not be in vain.

When he saw the two people coming back, Sun Nian laughed out loud again. Although Wang Li also wanted to laugh, he kept holding it back.

Because it can be seen from the footprints on Wang An's body that Wang An was kicked again.

Seeing that Wang Li seemed to be in great pain, Sun Nian smiled and said:

"Have fun if you want to. What can your fourth brother do to you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Li secretly glanced at Wang An and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Wang An heard the laughter but ignored it, staring at the ice hole in a daze.

In fact, Wang An was thinking at this time, no wonder Wang Shuai said Zhang Shuya was a "tiger mom".

I have to say, this nickname is really worthy of its name!
After a while, Zhang Shuya suddenly said:

"Xiao An, can we dig another hole in the ice? It's too slow to catch fish with just this one hole."

When Wang An thought about how tiring it would be to dig a hole in the ice, he wanted to shake his head to refuse. However, when he looked up, he found that Zhang Shuya was staring at him with a smile on her face but an unfriendly look.

So Wang An nodded and said with a smile:
"Yeah, it's my sister who was thoughtful. Why didn't I think of drilling another hole in the ice?"

Wang An's words immediately made Sun Nian and Wang Li laugh again.

But Wang An didn't even look at the two of them. He just smiled and didn't get kicked.

When digging holes in the ice to catch fish, you must never get too close, because the number of fish in each area is limited.

Although the number of fish in each area varies, there are always so many of them, so drilling two holes in the ice would be a waste of effort.

In fact, Wang An’s family has a fishing net, the kind that blocks the net, also called a sticky net.

The fishing net was bought by the village when it sold the production team's assets. However, this kind of net is only suitable for use in summer, but can only be used in early winter when the ice is not very thick.

Because it requires making many small holes on the ice surface and then finding a way to hang the net under the ice.

Although it is spring now, the ice is too thick to be used.

The four men took their tools and quickly found a very suitable place, and then started to chisel a hole in the ice.

After observation, Wang An found that this place was better than the previous ice hole. Wang An felt that big fish would appear again today.

In fact, this "suitable place" refers to a relatively still water area, a large bend where water can be stored, or a place where the water flows very slowly.

In addition to this, try to find a place with aquatic plants.

People who often fish know that the faster the water flows, the fewer fish there are.

No matter it is summer or winter, there will definitely be fish in places with lots of aquatic plants.

Just as Wang An and Wang Li were chiseling ice, Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian actually became very interested in chiseling ice.

So, the job of chiseling ice was transferred from the two men to the two women.

It has to be said that Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian are not only very strong, but also have great endurance. They didn't complain of being tired until the hole in the ice was completely drilled.

As the small fish and broken ice were cleared out, fish started to be caught in this ice hole, and the speed was quite fast.

However, because the fish were caught too quickly, Wang An suddenly felt that there should be no big fish in this place. After waiting for a while, Wang An found that the ice hole was full of fish. Just as he was about to make a move, the large colander was taken by Zhang Shuya.

Zhang Shuya was very excited when she picked up the large colander and directly inserted it into the ice hole.

While shouting and yelling, he threw sieves of fish and frogs onto the ice.

When Wang An saw this scene, he felt that being serious was a good thing.

Not only is digging holes in the ice basically useless for me, but now I have nothing to do with fishing as well.

Almost everyone in Heilongjiang can tell which fish is delicious and which is not.

So as the fish jumped around on the ice, all four of them became very happy.

Because of this fishing, although ordinary fish and miscellaneous fish still accounted for the majority, the remaining half was also quite large in number, and there were also many rare fish.

All the dogfish, zheluo, copperfish, salmon, and garfish were fished out.

Soon, Zhang Shuya caught all the fish in the ice hole, and she became more excited.

To be honest, the feeling of catching fish is really refreshing.

Looking at the empty ice hole, Wang An said, "Let's go. It's time to fish out the ice hole over there."

When Zhang Shuya heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she ran over with a large colander in her hand.

Then the four of them ran back and forth between the two ice holes.

And seeing Zhang Shuya enjoying catching fish, Sun Nian also began to feel itchy. The two women each dug a hole in the ice and kept fishing until noon.

Anyway, the brothers Wang An and Wang Li were completely idle.

When they returned home at noon, the two women still felt a little reluctant to go fishing. However, the sled was already full of frozen fish and frozen forest frogs.

I have to say, there are really a lot of fish in this river.

On the way back, although the two old ladies were covered in ice chips, they didn't care at all and were still full of interest.

It can be seen that these two old ladies are addicted to fishing.

At lunch, in order to entertain Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian, the food was quite generous.

Not to mention all kinds of fish and meat, Liu Guilan also took out the badger meat that had been saved from years ago and stewed it.

In the Northeast in winter, although the large vat under the windowsill is the best refrigerator for people, if you want the meat to not lose its smell, you have to add an additional step.

That is to pour water on the meat and let the ice cover the meat all the time. The meat preserved by this method is almost the same as fresh meat when eaten.

At lunch, Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian ate a lot. What they ate was almost all that Wang An's family and Wang Li ate.

But after eating, the two of them actually wanted to pick up fish again.

Originally Wang An didn't want to go, but he couldn't stand the nagging of his mother and wife, as well as Zhang Shuya's threatening look.

So the four of them set out again, driving the sled towards the two ice holes.

In the evening, the four people made a great harvest.

When Wang An and his three companions returned home, they suddenly heard the news that the tiger-hunting gang had encountered an accident in the mountains.

It is said that there were casualties.
