As the ship stopped moving, the huge sails were lowered from the mast.

More than a dozen carefully selected Hercules, shirtless, stood in front of the pulley group, all of them were carefully selected from Shaofu, and each of them had the ability to pull the big yellow crossbow.

These wrestlers, humming and humming, pulled the ropes that were wrapped around the pulleys, and slowly pulled up the trawls that had sunk to the bottom of the river.

As the net was pulled out of the water little by little, a bloody scene suddenly appeared on the river.

In the heart of the river, which is 100 zhang long and about 10 zhang wide.

Countless waves splashed up.

That's thousands of big fish struggling desperately when they perceive the crisis.

However, their actions are doomed to be futile.

When the pulley block starts to pull, the mesh port is already above the water.

Except for a few lucky big fish, who took advantage of the fleeting opportunity to escape the trap of humans, the other fish schools are destined to be doomed.

Look at the big fish that are constantly tumbling and jumping in the giant net.

Bo Shi and Xu Yan's faces showed extremely happy looks!

"What a good harvest!" Xu Yan smiled and congratulated Bo Shi: "Brother Ziren, congratulations!" ”

"Rejoice, rejoice!" Bo Shixiao's two eyes came together.

Because Bo Shi knows that this is not only a political achievement, but also a wealth that is pouring into the sky!

From now on, as long as he is still the captain of Xinhua Ling and the protector of the capital, the fish in the black water river in front of him must have a part of the surname Bo!

A quarter of an hour later, with the joint efforts of the pulley group and the wrestlers. The nets in the water began to slowly leave the water.

Bo Shi and Xu Yan stood side by side on the deck. Look at the fishing nets coming out of the water.

From the perspective of the two of them, the huge net that has already partially emerged from the water. It's like the mouth of a gluttonous food in myths and legends.

In the huge fishing nets, countless large fish struggle and jump in them.

At this time, the two building boats, which were originally dragging trawls separately, did not know when, and they were already driving side by side closely.

These two giant ships encircled the huge net in the middle.

With the tugging of the pulley group and the wrestlers, the giant net in the water was lifted.

"Let's start fishing!" Xu Yan waved his hand and ordered.

Dozens of soldiers, who had long been armed with fishing nets and harpoons, immediately swarmed up, and on the lower deck, they jumped around the big fish one by one. In various ways, they were fished out of the huge net and thrown onto the deck, and the soldiers on the deck collected all the fish into several cabins on the lower deck.

"What a fat fish!" Bo Shi looked at the big fish that had been caught from the net one by one and admired them.

Obviously, most of these fish that were caught were of the same species.

Before today, Bo Shi had also seen these fish.

Their bodies are covered with tiny scales. The meat is fatty and delicious, and it is perfect for making fish tart!

What's even better is that the females of these fish have a belly full of bright red roe.

The history of making caviar and meat sauce in China. It can be traced back to the Yin Shang period and is called 醢.

Today, it has become an indispensable condiment in the aristocratic diet.

And those fish roe. In Boshi's point of view, it can indeed be a very good raw material for sauce.

Bo Shi's only doubt is. Where do these fish come from?

It is known to the world. This kind of big fish has never been found in China's great rivers.

Even in this Heishui River, it began to appear sporadically after summer and April, and by summer June, it began to appear in groups in the black water, advancing upstream, regardless of life and death, regardless of dangers.

By July, August and March, it reached its peak.

According to the people of Kuhao, at the peak of the fishing sea and flood, in some sections of the river, the people can even step on the back of the fish to cross the river.

In the past, even if they were caught by hand, every adult man and woman could catch thousands of fish from June to September every year.

But as soon as September passed, before winter came, the fish quickly disappeared.

Just as they came.

The people of the Ha call this fish 'tiger fish'.

According to legend, this tiger fish comes from the distant sea.

But why do they go there in the summer and autumn every year, regardless of life and death and dangers, along the black water to the upstream source of the black water?

Nobody knows.

Bo Shi is very interested in exploring this question.

He decided to send a capable team to take a fighting ship and go up to the source of the Blackwater River to take a look, maybe he could find an answer.

While Bo was thinking wildly, the fishing work on the lower deck had reached its climax.

The number of fish in the nets is not clear.

Even if two building boats, each sending dozens of people to work together, there is no way to catch all the fish in the fishing net in a short time.

As for the option of hoisting the nets with a block of pulleys and towing them to the deck of the building boat, it did not exist from the beginning - this one was too expensive for anyone to risk damage.

As a result, some of the soldiers may feel that they may have to catch fish until dark by standing on the deck like this.

So, they jumped into the nets, grabbed the fish and threw them on the deck.

Some clever fellows even beckoned to their companions and threw down a few bamboo utensils that looked like baskets on the ship.

Then, in the water, he caught the fat fish in the basket, and when it was full of baskets, he and his companions lifted the baskets and sent them to the deck.

Of course, in the process, there are also some discordant pictures.

Because, these schools of fish caught by trawling nets are very violent, and they have a mouthful of sharp teeth, and if they are not careful, they will be bitten and even bite blood.

However, in the face of food, the Chinese have never been afraid of all challenges.

Not to mention that the food has a mouthful of sharp teeth.

It is a mouth full of poisonous fangs, in order to eat, the Chinese can find a way to make it obediently roll to the table.

The puffer fish in the Yangtze River is a good proof of this.

And on the deck, the chef of the building ship was already preparing dinner for the day.

Eating fish has been Zhu Xia's specialty and talent since ancient times.

Foodies have even elevated food to a cultural and philosophical level.

And sashimi was originally Qilu's famous dish.

The soldiers and sailors on the building ship are basically from the Qilu region.

Therefore, the chef on the boat is not too skilled in making sashimi and whole fish feasts.

The big fish were quickly killed, bled out, and their internal organs were taken out, and all but the fish larvae were thrown into the river.

Then, expertly cut it into thin pieces of fillet, serve with sauce, and add a little dogwood to whet your appetite.

When the sashimi is ready, it is quickly brought to the paddling sailors and the wrestlers who pull the pulleys to fill their stomachs and replenish their strength.

Bo Shi and Xu Yan were naturally sent here.

Twist a piece of fish fillet with your hand, put it in your mouth, and bite hard, and suddenly the delicious fish and slightly spicy dogwood bloom on the taste buds.

"Delicious!" Xu Yan gave a thumbs up. (To be continued......)
