Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Damei said, "Don't worry. Sister Xia Lian is always accurate in choosing the right spot. Fish gather most easily in the water holes. Let's guess how many fish we can catch with this net."

Erya said, "There must be three or two."

Daya said: "Five."

Damei thought for a moment and said, "I guess six."

Erya twisted her waist and cast the net. The net swung in a round shape. The huge net surface perfectly caught the water hole and slowly sank down.

After a while, Erya shouted, "What a strong force! What a strong force! Come and help us."

The fishing net was made of nylon ropes as thick as fingers, which could easily withstand a ton of pulling force. Daya and Damei also went up to help. Slowly, a net of fish emerged from the water, with churning waves and violent struggles. At least a hundred pounds of fish were out of the water.

Even Liu Xia Lian was surprised. There were at least twenty or thirty fish.

"It's too much, hahaha. We can have fish head stewed with tofu in dinner." Arya was very happy.

Daya said: "No, I still think grilled fish tastes better."

Liu Xia Lian took a closer look and found that it was actually a taimen, a precious fish in the Songhua River. It is more expensive than a taimen and can be sold for three yuan and a half per catty. In another twenty years, it will become a second-class protected animal. The meat is very delicious and nutritious.

"Hurry up and get some water. This is Taimen. It's very expensive."

Everyone worked together to fill the water truck with thousands of kilograms of Songhua River water. When the oxygen pump was turned on, bubbles popped out and the fish tossed around in it, even hitting the water tank. Fortunately, the ingredients were solid, otherwise the food would have been ruined.

This net caught an astonishing twenty-one fish, each weighing an average of four to five pounds, and they were plump and very cute.

I cast the net again and caught three more.

Daya changed places and cast a few nets and caught a few crucian carp, but there was no big harvest like before.

"Let's go fishing. We can catch big fish with big hooks."

Each of them found a fishing spot, choosing a shallow area where there are migratory fish in this season.

Sure enough, after a while, everyone had a catch, which turned out to be salmon, weighing six or seven pounds each, and growing very well.

Arya said, "The water is shallow here, I'll go and spear the fish."

"No, the water is cold now. If your feet are frozen, you will get sick. You can't go down." Black bears and brown bears also fish in this season, but no black bears were seen in this place.

Liu Xialian was not greedy and caught more than 30 salmon. She shouted, "Sisters, it's time to call it a day and go back to the village."

The four of them packed up their things and called Da Huang and Xiao Hei, who were on guard nearby. Liu Xia Lian remembered what Li Lao Pao said: "Next time, we should leave someone on guard. The weather is getting colder and there will be more wild animals."

It was almost twelve o'clock when the group returned to the village. Erya wanted to eat salmon stewed with tofu.

As soon as I entered the village, Scar Three waved to me on the side of the road.

"Sister Xia Lian, stop, stop."

"Isn't this Third Brother? What's going on?"

"I want to eat fish. Sister Xia Lian, can you please give me some fish?"

Li Damei went down to beat him, but Liu Xialian held her down. Scar Three, as his name suggests, had a scar on his face that was more than ten centimeters long. He looked like a brave and aggressive person. Li Damei was a beginner and was no match for him. Liu Xialian jumped off the mule cart, took two salmon from the water tank, strung them with a hemp rope and handed them to Scar Three.

"Third brother, I have everything, including food, drinks, clothes, daily necessities, and money, but I only give them to people with ability. Tell me about your ability. If I am attracted to you, I will give it to you next time without you asking for it."

Scar Three smiled slightly: "I have been in prison, my parents are dead, my wife ran away, and I have no children. Sister Xia Lian, tell me if my ability makes you excited."

"That's quite interesting. From now on, Third Brother will have fish and meat whenever he wants."

"Okay, thank you Sister Xia Lian, you will be my real sister from now on."

"No, I don't have a brother like you, but don't worry, you will have food and drink if you want."

Scar Three went home carrying the fish, humming a little tune.

Erya scratched her head: "I don't understand what you are saying."

Li Damei patted Erya on the shoulder and said, "It's okay if you don't understand. Don't ask about social affairs."

Erya didn't understand, but Li Damei did. Scarface was lazy and only wanted to drink and eat meat. Scarface's ability was to be free from worries, and he was willing to fight for you, which was equivalent to the ancient warriors.

But Liu Xia Lian didn't want to be involved too much with him, so she only gave him food and drink, refused to recognize him as her subordinate, and the two kept their distance.

Liu Xia Lian cracked the whip and the big mule went back to Damei's house with a clatter.

Li Damei bought some tofu biscuits and went home to cook salmon and tofu stew.

Liu Xia Lian went home to see the pheasants. The pheasants had come out. The newly hatched chicks could not even stand steadily. Their feathers dried on the kang in a short while. They were now furry and very cute.

There was no ready-made chicken feed these days, so Liu Xia Lian got some amoxicillin as a simple starter medicine to kill intestinal bacteria.

Then I made a drinking fountain out of a plastic bottle, and the water in it was also boiled water. After two days of starvation, I fed them soaked millet and sesame seeds.

The mother was stunned: "No, Second Girl, you are taking better care of the chicken than you are of the child. How can a pheasant be so precious?"

"When the chicks are cared for by their mother, they have strong resistance and good insulation. The temperature of our kang fluctuates greatly, and it is difficult to reach the constant temperature of the mother hen, so we must take good care of them, otherwise it will be in vain."

"Okay, but pheasants can fly, what are you going to do?"

"We need to set up a large net in the backyard, which should be no taller than a person. The pheasants can move freely in it, grow faster, and lay more eggs."

But what makes people happy is that even though my mother is in her forties, she still has a strong learning ability. She can learn many things quickly and understand them at a glance.

For example, when raising wild boars, they were worried about pumpkins and cabbages at first. After Liu Xialian harvested them once, her mother immediately learned how to do it. Pumpkins cost three cents per pound, and cabbages cost two cents per pound. Buying three or four hundred pounds each time can feed them for several days.

Pigs are fed mainly with grain scraps, which are supplemented with vegetables, so they become healthier, grow very well, and have better fur color.

However, breeding is a very slow process that requires time to accumulate and constant exploration of technology.

The next morning, Liu Xialian brought Daya and the hunting dog Dahuang to the village entrance to wait for Li Shaoling from Mang Village. They had made an appointment the day before, but since there were no mobile phones these days, communication was still very difficult.

But they were very punctual. After waiting for only ten minutes, two large horse-drawn carriages arrived quickly.

The first one was driven by a chestnut horse and pulled by two green mules. The driver was Li Shaoling, and sitting next to him was Li Hu.

The next cart was pulled by a big black horse and two black mules. The driver was Li Erlu, and his assistant was Xu Xiong.

Liu Xia Lian was quite surprised: "No, Uncle Erlu, why are you here?"

Li Erlu smiled and said, "What's wrong, niece? Are you not welcome? I'm here to show my support for you."

"Welcome, welcome, of course you are welcome."

Li Erlu was one of the earliest people with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan. No one knew why he was willing to do this hard labor. Maybe he did it to give face to Li Shaoling, or maybe he really was short of money.
