Chapter 682: Winter Fishing
The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the thin ice on the artificial lake has broken in many places. The place where Jin Er went down was a cracked ice cave, and the dark blue water of the lake was calm and calm, with almost no ups and downs.
After the rice bucket finished gnawing on the meat, he was rattling the chicken bones again, and his eyes kept rolling, as if he was thinking about how to trick the next chicken leg......
Jin Er saw Xiaoxue looking at the lake and asked, "What, Xiaoxue, are you interested in fishing?" Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you." ”
Xiaoxue has no interest in fishing at all, and letting her sit by the water for a few hours will cost her her life.
"Uncle Kim, are there any fish in this lake? are they all frozen to death in winter?" she asked.
"Of course there is. Jin Er replied affirmatively, "How can a fish freeze to death? ”
"Then why is the hook motionless?" she asked again.
"Because I haven't skewered the bait yet. Jin Er pulled up the fishing rod for her to see, and there was no bait on the hook.
Xiaoxue was a little suspicious, whether she didn't have a bait, or if she was skewered and ran away by the fish......
"What fish are in this lake?" she asked, "are there any crucian carp?"
"Crucian carp? Yes, the most abundant in the lake are crucian carp. "Especially in winter, because many fish hibernate in winter, there are relatively few fish species that can be caught, and even if they don't hibernate, their appetite will decline and they will languish - if the fish don't open their mouths to eat, they can't catch it...... Among the fish that can be caught in winter, crucian carp is one of the wonders, even if the temperature is minus thirty or forty degrees in the three eastern provinces, crucian carp can still be fished out of the ice hole. You should know that a low temperature does not mean that the water temperature is low, as long as the water temperature is higher than 4 degrees, the crucian carp will open its mouth to eat. There is a way - good fishing in spring and autumn in all seasons, and crucian carp fishing in winter!"
"Oh. Xiaoxue nodded, she felt that Jin Er had said one thing at a time, and he seemed to have a lot of experience in fishing, at least there was a theory.
If you summarize it, the gluttony and cold-tolerant degree of crucian carp is not the second ha of the fish world?
She became a little interested, and then asked, "Isn't that easy to catch? As long as you bait, you can catch any fish?"
Jin Er smiled, "It's not, you think about winter fishing too easily." In winter, crucian carp still eat, but their range has decreased a lot, and they basically only lurk in a certain area under the ice for a long time, and do not cruise back and forth - this location, we aquarists have a special word, called 'fish nest'. If you choose the wrong spot, you won't be able to catch crucian carp anyway. The most important thing in winter crucian carp fishing is to find a fish nest. ”
Hearing this, Xiaoxue looked at the place where Jin Er's lower pole was, which was an area where a thin ice had broken, and with her eyesight, she couldn't see any difference from other positions.
"Is this the fish nest?" she pointed there.
"It's not. Jin Er shook his head, "Because I didn't plan to cast the bait, I just found a place to lay the rod." Why, Xiaoxue, you want to eat crucian carp? This fish has a lot of spines, so be careful when eating it. ”
"Uh...... It's not me who eats. Uncle Jin, you know the pet store where I bought the cat, right? The owner's cat gave birth to a kitten last night, and he needs fresh crucian carp stew for milk, but today there is no one in the vegetable market, and he can't buy crucian carp, so he is asking for help, and I saw it, so I asked him to inquire. Xiaoxue answered truthfully.
Jin Er knew that pet shop, and his driver's license was revoked by the traffic police after helping them deliver medicine last time...... However, the drive was still quite cool, and I experienced the feeling of a car god.
"Oh, okay, so Xiaoxue you want help finding fresh crucian carp?"
"Yes, the little milk cat has no milk to eat, so pitiful. She said.
"Haha, this is no problem, look at mine!" Jin Er said with great ambition, "In this villa area, if you want to talk about the degree of wealth, I am the countdown, but when it comes to fishing skills, I Jin Er is the second, and no one dares to call it the first!"
Xiaoxue: "......" sounds a little awkward.
Although he said it proudly, she still had reservations, because he was the only one in the villa who could fish, how could others compare his skills?
Jin Er didn't believe Xiaoxue's expression when he saw it, and he was immediately anxious, his dog lost to her cat, even if she looked down on the technique of fishing, then how could he Jin Er still mix in the villa area?
So, he got up from the fishing chair and said, "Come, I'll catch two big crucian carp for you today! If you can't catch it, I'll be surnamed Xiao with you!"
"That...... My surname is Jiang ......," Xiaoxue reminded in a hesitant manner.
"I don't have the same surname as your workaholic father!" Jin Er waved his hand disdainfully, "Tell you, crucian carp in winter are not easy to catch, but all the crucian carp caught are big crucian carp, there are no small ones, each one is almost seven or eight taels!"
"Seven, eight, two?" Xiaoxue frowned, "This is also a big deal?"
This really subverted her perception of "big".
Jin Er was speechless, this little princess of the Jiang family didn't seem to know what a crucian carp looked like, maybe she mistook carp and cod for crucian carp.
"The average crucian carp is only two or three taels, and seven or eight taels is already very big. He argued as he defended himself.
"Oh, I see. Xiaoxue stuck out her tongue, embarrassed by her ignorance, but she looked at the artificial lake worriedly and asked, "Can the fish in this lake be eaten?
In case Zhang Zi'an's cat eats the crucian carp here and gets sick, then she has done something bad with good intentions. If the big cat is sick, the little milk cats will not eat it.
"Definitely edible. Jin Er said categorically, "Everyone can eat it, let alone cats." Let me tell you, the water of this artificial lake is isolated from the outside world, the fish raised here are much cleaner than the fish sold outside, they have not been fed artificial feed and hormones, and they have not been contaminated with industrial wastewater and domestic sewage, they are all found to eat by themselves, eating live insects in winter and aquatic plants in summer, even those known as wild crucian carp are not so clean. If you can't eat this fish, you won't have any fish to eat. ”
Xiaoxue thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the truth. The fish in this artificial lake are sprinkled with fry by the property, and they are completely stocked, which can be regarded as pure natural and pollution-free. The domestic sewage of the villa area is not discharged into the artificial lake, except for the tap water that was initially poured into the lake, and the water level of the lake is supplemented by rainwater and snow water later.
Jin Er knew that he couldn't win Xiaoxue's trust just by saying it, after all, his own Erha's performance was too embarrassing, so he packed up the aluminum alloy folding fishing chair and carried it on his back, picked up the fishing rod and the net under his armpit, picked up the incubator with his left hand, and picked up the plastic bucket with his right hand, and beckoned: "Go, Xiaoxue, I'll take you to find a fish nest to ensure that you can catch crucian carp!"

I said it yesterday in the author's testimonial, and I will talk about it today. The timeline of this book is fictional, not 2018, the time of the Berlin Film Festival is late February, which coincides with the Spring Festival of 2018, but the Spring Festival in the book is around the end of January and early February, which does not conflict with the Berlin Film Festival.
Some people asked if there would be a break during the Spring Festival...... Of course I try not to, didn't I see that my pen name is broken in five watches
