The sky has just brightened up, and there are still a few remaining stars hanging in the distant horizon that don't want to disperse.

The morning light was dim, the cold wind was blowing, and occasionally one or two roosters crowed in the wind.

“Gugu Burp~~~”

Seeing that Xu Dahai was about to go out, Wang Xiuxiu gently tidied his hat and collar.

"You have to get up so early to fish, so be careful. I don't know if the ice in the river has frozen solid."

"Well, don't worry, have you seen this basket? When I come back, this basket will be full of fish!"

Xu Dahai grinned, and Wang Xiuxiu was instantly amused:

"It's okay to pretend to be dissatisfied...just watch the dogs and don't let them fall into the river."

……

Stepping on the crunching snow, I walked out of the house and soon arrived at the yard of Rongcheng Lin's house.

Four hunting dogs ran in front of him, occasionally raising their legs to urinate next to the telephone pole.

They thought the master was going to the mountains to hunt.

The lights were on inside the house, and the dim light shone through the window as he stood on the snow.

"Brother Cheng Lin'er! Brother Cheng Lin'er!!"

Xu Dahai shouted twice, and soon Rong Chenglin came out wearing thick cotton clothes.

"Let's go~"

Two people and six dogs walked towards the river with brisk steps and high energy. At this time, most of the villagers had not yet gotten up.

Soon the two came to the river.

The ice has become quite solid, so there is nothing wrong with walking on it.

Looking at the flat and distant river surface, Xu Dahai said:

"Brother Cheng Lin, do you know about the igloo? After the river freezes, you can paddle on the igloo!"

"What? I've never seen anything like this before?"

"Haha, it existed in ancient times. I really haven't seen this thing now. Come on, let's fix it!"

He took out his chisel and hammer and started to knock a big round hole in the ice in a circular motion. Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang. When the seams were all finished, he used the hammer to hit the ice hunchback in the middle.

bang bang bang

soon.

The large cylindrical ice hump in the middle is disconnected from its surroundings.

"Come on, get out of the way, I'll push the hunchback under the ice."

Xu Dahai used the handle of the net to hold up the ice slug at an angle, brushing the ice slug until it sank into the river water, slid to the right, and stayed under the ice behind.

A circular ice cave appeared in front of us.

The rippling river water quickly filled the ice hole, and a little overflowed to the outside.

"It's so cold, hey~ start fishing!"

"I'll come first! I'll take your place later when I get tired."

"Okay!"

It is said to be fishing, but in fact, at the beginning, the net is inserted into the hole in the ice and the net is quickly stirred in one direction.

The sooner the better.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

There were bursts of noise, and Rong Chenglin held his breath, and soon his hands became sore.

"Come on, let me do it!"

After Rong Chenglin pulled out the net, Xu Dahai dipped his net into the water and started stirring it quickly.

There is a saying that when ice blocks the river in winter, the oxygen in the water will decrease rapidly.

And after breaking open a hole in the ice and quickly stirring the river water, oxygen will be integrated into the river water, and the fish will actively swim over.

really.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Xu Dahai quickly stirred the river water in reverse direction, raised the net, and a big carp was caught directly in the net bag.

crackling~

The force of the fish tail is quite strong, it sticks out crazily, and the water splashes everywhere.

A few water drops fell on the noses of the dogs, and the dogs barked in disbelief, as if to make the big carp behave.

"Hey! A good start!?"

"How many pounds does this fish weigh?"

"About 3 pounds, it's pretty good. Quick, just throw it on the ice."

After walking a few steps further, the big carp that had been thrown onto the ice were lined up and jumping around. However, the weather was so cold that they soon stiffened from the cold and died of stiffness.

Xu Dahai put the big fish into the basket, while Rong Chenglin next to him caught two more nets.

Two fish were picked up in one net, one big and one small. The big one weighed two kilograms, and the small one weighed only three or four taels.

He disliked the smaller fish because it was too small, and he didn’t like it.

Throw it back into the river.

The second net caught a large crucian carp, which also weighed nearly two kilograms.

"Catch quickly! Catch quickly while there are plenty of fish!"

"Come on, come on!! This one is bigger, I'm afraid it weighs five kilograms!!"

The scene is really shocking!It was so exciting that the two of them kept moving and their heads were sweating.

Every net failed, it was like picking up fish for nothing. A huge joy filled their hearts, and they were very excited.

There are too many fish in the river.

After another ten minutes or so, it didn't take two people to catch it. Several fish jumped directly out of the hole in the ice.

bang bang bang~

Under the sunshine of the rising sun.

Big fish were jumping on the ice, and their fine scales reflected the sunlight, making it look like a great harvest.

……

Of course, I counted almost eight big fish that jumped out of the ice hole on their own, but the other fish stopped jumping out.

“I originally thought it would take a long time to catch fish, but now I have caught so many fish in less than an hour.”

The two of them were really tired. They squatted on the stubble-covered ice and began to pick fish one by one into the basket.

It was freezing cold, so if we had picked it up a little later, the fish might have frozen on the ice.

It will be difficult to sort it out by then.

"Come on, have a cigarette!"

Two old men squatted on the ice, lit cigarettes, took a rest, and puffed away at the smoke.

Occasionally, I glance at the two large baskets of fish next to me, and I smile unconsciously.

"Xiao Hai, do you think it's okay to catch fish and sell them? You should be able to make money, right?"

Rong Chenglin took a long drag on the cigarette, and his mind became alive again.

“Finding a good buyer will definitely make money, but it’s best if the buyer is from a big city.

In our hometown or county town, there are already many people who are willing to take advantage of the competition. The prices are quite low due to competition among peers. "

There are a lot of smart people, and some people have started doing things like frozen fish a few years ago, and the market has basically been divided up.

"By the way, Brother Cheng Lin, you and Brother Ye Liang were pouring pine nuts together before, right? How was it?"

"Forget it, after working for more than ten days, I hired Sun Guangcai's truck to help transport it.

As a result, in the last round of accounts, one person only made about ten yuan, and he almost didn’t lose anything, so he simply quit. "

Rong Chenglin looked sad, watching others speculate and make a lot of money, but after he broke in, he discovered that many things were not as simple as imagined.

Every step is bumpy.

If you are not careful, you may really lose money.

After resting for a while, the two of them carried two large baskets of fish and led the dogs towards the village.

The pace is relaxed, looking back at the rising sun, everything is so beautiful.

As soon as we entered the village, a voice suddenly came from the south: "Hey, did you two go fishing early in the morning?"
