Chapter 731 Simple Fishing Artifact

"By the way, thank you for sending fish soup to our school students!"

"I didn't deliver it. I was only responsible for catching fish and eels. Zhuzi was the one who did the cooking. If there was any delivery, I don't know who it was." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"That's what I mean. Without the fish you caught, we wouldn't have fish soup."

Principal Hong Xiao quickly waved his hands and explained.

"Of course, I also want to thank the chef. The fish soup he made is really delicious. It's the first time I've had such delicious fish soup. Even without any vegetables, I can be full with just this fish soup."

"Zhu Zi, did you hear that?" Chen Feng shouted at Sha Zhu who was still bragging and chatting with the deputy director of the commune.

"What did you hear?" Sha Zhu asked, turning his head with a cigarette between his ears.

Principal Hong said shyly, "My school and I thank you for the fish soup you made. It's really delicious!"

"Hahaha, that's right, I'm not bragging, my cooking skills are the result of several of my teachers. I'm probably a little bit behind the chef at the state banquet at the Sijiu City Hotel, but I'm definitely good enough to be a master chef."

Sha Zhu was obviously drunk. This guy's alcohol tolerance is average, but he just loves his face.

Especially when there is no leader present, or when you find the leader to be very friendly.

"You'll die if you stop bragging!" Chen Jianjun came in from outside and cursed without any hesitation. He said to the old secretary and others who had vomited a lot, "Old secretary, everyone, I'm sorry, Zhuzi talks nonsense when he's drunk. Please forgive me."

"No, no, the fish soup made by Comrade Zhuzi is really delicious." The old secretary licked his lips.

Poor thing, in order to avoid waste, he dared not drink too much fish soup or eat too much fish meat, and instead drank wine.

Fortunately, the aunt who was in charge of the fire had reserved a bowl of porridge and a bowl of fish soup with a fish head for him.

There was no fish left. There were sixty or seventy people plus more than sixty children from two classes in the school. Even if Chen Feng caught a bucket of small fish, eels and crabs and cooked several large pots, the actual amount of fish distributed to everyone was very limited.

"Crazy, catch some more fish this afternoon, and I'll cook a few more pots of fish soup in the evening."

Shazhu is really drunk!

This punk seemed to have forgotten that he had used up all the seasoning he brought.

"I'll try my best and catch as many as I can."

"drink!"

As he was speaking, the little brat came staggering over again, biting his hands with his little mouth and drooling.

"You have to call me brother, otherwise you won't get any candy."

Chen Feng squatted down with a smile and teased the little boy.

"Hah." The little boy still spoke unclearly, his little hands dancing around, his clear eyes looking at Chen Feng, reflecting his face.

Chen Feng gave up.

"I'll give you another one. Go find your sister."

After getting the candy, the little boy ruthlessly abandoned the eldest son of the Chen family and happily went to find his "half-mother" sister.

"His father works as a mover in a steel mill. After a few more years, he will be able to become a regular employee. He can only come home once a month. His mother has to work in the fields and take care of the family, so only his sister can take care of him."

The aunt who was in charge of the fire smiled while holding a bowl. She was so busy that she just started eating now. The bowl contained thin porridge mixed with fish soup, some vegetable leaves and fish meat.

That’s the advantage of having a kitchen.

"It's already very good." The old secretary said while drinking fish soup porridge: "Our commune can get support from the factory. How many communes in Beijing have this luck?"

It was a hot day at noon and even the villagers could not stand the heat and had to stay at home to avoid the high temperature.

It’s not that the villagers couldn’t bear it. In fact, after the land contract system was implemented, many farmers worked hard in the fields on hot days and even fell down due to heatstroke.

The reason is that the commune does not agree.

Afraid of heatstroke and illness!

Chen Feng chatted with them for a while and found that the little boy had become dependent on him. After eating the small candy grains, he came to him for a drink.

Fortunately, his sister and a group of girls finished washing the dishes quickly and put them in the basket.

The little brat entered the basket and immediately became very quiet, sitting inside and playing with small toys.

Before two o'clock in the afternoon, Principal Hong Xiao came to ask him to go to the river.

"Big brother, can we learn too?"

A group of girls looked at him and asked.

"can!"

It is definitely not possible to fish directly in the river.

Chen Feng taught a little trick, using a smaller basket made of an unknown common northern wilderness vine. A large basket that could hold two or three little boys would definitely not work because it was too big and difficult to seal.

The method is very simple. In later generations, there are a large number of DIY manual fishing tools, which use an opening that can only allow entry but not escape.

The simplest fishing tool for outdoor survival - bottle

“Are there any bamboos?”

"No!" A group of girls shook their heads together.

Chen Feng touched his chin and asked, "Then there should be extra gourds, right? Dried ones that are intact and not cut in half?"

"This has!"

"Remember to take a basket, cloth, a fishing rod, and a needle and thread. If you don't have cloth, just take a straw rope."

A group of girls went home to get the gourds.

Once you get the gourd, open the upper and lower bottom directly. Use the narrow opening on the top of the gourd facing the fish basket, and make it into a serrated opening.

In this way, when the fish turns around and wants to escape from this opening, it will easily be hurt by the saw teeth and will have to look for other openings, and the fish will be trapped in the fish basket.

Chen Feng originally wanted to seal it with cloth, but this was obviously impossible as cloth was expensive.

As a last resort, he used a straw rope to seal the opening of the basket, leaving the large opening at the bottom of the gourd consistent with the opening of the fish basket.

Soon the first handmade fish basket was made.

"We need to catch some food that fish like to eat, such as earthworms and grasshoppers. Who is willing to help me find them?"

"How about a little bug?" a little girl asked curiously.

Chen Feng nodded.

"Go find bugs!"

"I'm going to dig for earthworms."

Ten minutes later, a group of little girls exchanged the small insects in their hands for the sugar grains in Chen Feng's hand. Some of them dug up a lot of earthworms, and Chen Feng gave them a few more. Some also gave him a few locusts.

There is almost no pesticide in the countryside now, and there are quite a lot of locusts.

During this time, Principal Hong also learned from Chen Feng's approach and made several similar fish baskets.

The others had already gone to work, Chen Jianjun also went to the fields. Niu Gengshen escaped and pretended to be drunk and hid in the room to rest.

"Come on, I'll take you fishing. If you have a fishing rod, go get it."

First, tie the simple fish basket with a rope, put some stones and insects inside, and throw the fish basket into the middle of the river, placing one every few meters.

Principal Hong rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Should we go into the water and catch fish now?"

"Well, catching fish in the water requires a long time of practice. Most people can't do it. The best way is to use tools." Chen Feng said while holding a fishing rod: "Fish baskets and fishing rods are the tools that most people use to catch fish."
