He's in the west, he's a cowboy

"I feel like this is a big guy!!!" Zhou Zheng shouted while pulling the fishing rod.

"Boy, you can't get involved like this. You have to let it go." Arthur quickly walked to Zhou Zheng, put down the bucket, and grabbed Zhou Zheng's fishing rod.

"Watch where it goes. Just follow it, don't force it." Arthur grabbed the fishing rod and started pulling back and forth in the direction of the fish.

"Quickly, pull the line, this guy isn't moving much anymore." Zhou Zheng shouted excitedly as he watched the movement in the lake getting smaller and smaller.

"Don't worry, this is a big guy, it still has plenty of strength." Arthur slowly and unhurriedly pulled the fishing line left and right, allowing the fish to start swimming around in his direction.

"Look, you can only pull it after it has been struggling and has no strength left." Arthur saw that the movement of the fish was a little smaller, and began to slowly reel in the line: "Not too fast, otherwise it will continue to struggle, slowly. .”

As the fishing line was retracted little by little, the big fish was getting closer and closer to the shore. Zhou Zheng looked at the water surface excitedly. This was the first time he had caught such a big guy.

"Slow down, hold on, hold on." Zhou Zheng kept mumbling, and suddenly there was a wave of water in the water, and the fish started struggling again. Arthur was caught off guard and almost got dragged into the water by it.

Arthur quickly stood firm: "Damn it, what did you catch, a water ghost? Why is this guy so strong!"

"This shows that this guy is big enough!" Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and started to help pull the fishing rod. There was so much movement in this fish.

"Hey, what are you two doing? Where's the fish you agreed on?" John's voice came from behind the two of them: "My tent is ready and the fire is lit. I'm just waiting for you two to fish." "

"I caught a big guy. This guy is really powerful." Zhou Zheng turned around and shouted to John: "Arthur was almost knocked off by this fish."

"Wow, this is not common. Did you catch a bear?" John walked over slowly through the snow.

"Damn, I feel like this guy is about to break the fishing rod." Arthur shouted with sweat on his head. On such a cold day, his head was steaming.

"Come on, it's coming up, this guy is going to run out of strength." Arthur shouted to the two people behind him: "Come together, let's pull this guy up directly, I can't pull him up alone!!!"

The three of them stood on the edge of the lake together, pulling on the fishing rod together. Arthur shouted: "I count one, two, three, let's work hard together!"

"One, two, three, pull!!!" Following Arthur's slogan, the three of them worked hard together, and with a huge wave, a huge sockeye salmon flew out of the water.

"Wow, this is a big guy!" The three looked happily at the big fish flapping on the ground, and Arthur hurriedly stepped forward to catch the big guy.

"Haha, I bet this guy must be over 50 pounds!" Arthur held it with both hands. This guy was almost one meter long. Such a big sockeye salmon is not common.

Fifty pounds? Zhou Zheng did the math in his mind and calculated that one pound is 0.45 kilograms. Good guy, this fish must be about 45 pounds.

"It seems that we have nothing to eat these days. This guy can feed us for many days." John looked at the big fish in Arthur's arms and smiled with his usually stern face.

"Let's go back." Having caught such a big guy, Zhou Zheng was very satisfied. He put away their fishing rods and picked up the fish bucket.

"Let's go back and deal with this big guy."

The three of them returned to the camp that John had set up, with two tents, one large and one small, with a bonfire in the middle.

"I've never caught such a big guy before." Zhou Zheng looked at the fish still flapping on the ground and said happily.

"Me neither, this thing is really too big." Arthur panted and sat by the campfire: "I have to take a break, and I'll leave it to you to deal with this guy."

He took out a small notebook and pen from his bag and began to sit by the campfire and write and draw.

"Are you planning to draw this fish?" Zhou Zheng came to Arthur curiously, looked at the vivid patterns on the notebook and said in surprise: "I have known you for so long, and this is the first time I have discovered that you are so good at it. draw."

"I always will." Arthur said without raising his head. As the pen in his hand flew up and down, a pattern of a big fish jumping out of the water soon appeared on the paper: "Look, this is good."

"Okay, okay, with your hands, I think you can become a painting teacher." Zhou Zheng said with admiration.

"Haha, stop talking nonsense, how is that possible? It's just a little trick on my part." Arthur said with a smile.

"That is, if he becomes a teacher, none of his students will survive more than three days." The two of them would taunt each other whenever they got the chance, and Zhou Zheng was used to it.

"What are you going to do with this fish? Are you going to grill it directly?" John asked while packing up the big fish in his hands.

"How is that possible? It would be too wasteful to grill this kind of fish." Zhou Zheng shook his head: "The small ones will be made into sashimi directly. I brought some seasonings."

Just cut the big fish into sections and cook it directly. This kind of fish is fat, tender and juicy, and the soup is extremely delicious.

Carefully scrape off the fish scales and chop off the fish head. Just throw this into the pot to make soup later.

Break open the fish bit by bit, and then use a knife to carefully separate the fish meat and bones. Then use a knife to remove the shark fin bones, and then pull out the small fish bones on the fish meat.

In this way, a perfect fish was completed. Zhou Zheng's craftsmanship was not very good. The fish was in pieces and looked like it had been cheated by a dog, but this did not affect its deliciousness.

Cut the fish into thin slices and make a simple sauce to complete a sockeye salmon sashimi.

Fish soup is much simpler. This kind of fish is too fat, and the fish skin is full of fat. There is no need for oil in the pot. After a little frying, fragrant oil will come out of the fish.

When it's almost cooked, add water and start cooking. Zhou Zheng also threw in the fish bones and heads that had just been disassembled. Because his skills were not up to standard, there was still a lot of meat on them.

"Wow, it looks really good." John looked at the sashimi in his hand and asked curiously, "Can this thing really be eaten raw?"

"Of course, it's very delicious." Zhou Zheng picked up a piece and dipped it in the sauce, then threw it directly into his mouth. This thing was delicious, tender and juicy in one bite, and the meat was chewy, and it didn't have the heavy fishy smell of ordinary fish.

Seeing Zhou Zheng's expression of enjoyment, Arthur and John each picked up a piece, followed Zhou Zheng's example, dipped some sauce in it and threw it into their mouths.

"Wow, it's really good." Arthur fell in love with this thing immediately: "This is much better than barbecue."
