Chapter 691: Beating the Roe Deer with a Stick and Scooping Out the Fish
"What don't you know about this?" Zhu Dahai chuckled and replied without hesitation, "'The stick beats the roe deer and the gourd scoops out the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot.' This is an old saying in the Northeast. It's about us. This land is rich in resources and there is no shortage of anything!”
Zhu Dahai is right. This sentence is widely known, largely because of Liu Guolin's prose "Lovely Grass Pond".
The Great Northern Wilderness described in the article is astonishingly rich in products, as if just by reaching out and fishing, you can get a hand full of treasures.
"Brother Hai is right. The author of this old saying is indeed praising the richness of our Northeast." Liu Hongjun agreed with a smile.
Then he went on to say: "This stick is used to beat roe deer and scoop fish with a gourd, which actually refers to a hunting method.
'Hitting the roe deer with a stick' is a method in which hunters take advantage of the silly roe deer's habits for hunting.
After the hunter discovers the silly roe deer, he doesn't have to rush to chase it, let alone worry that it will run away.
Just find a good position to ambush it on its way to escape, and wait patiently with a stick. "
Everyone looked at Liu Hongjun and listened intently to Liu Hongjun's explanation of how to beat a roe deer with a stick.
“Wild animals like roe deer are very curious and will stop before running very far and look back to see what’s going on.
After a while, it will run back to take a look out of curiosity.
At this time, the ambush hunter only needs to wave his stick lightly to knock the silly roe deer unconscious.
This is what we call 'beating the roe deer with a stick'. "
Liu Hongjun spoke vividly and everyone listened with interest.
"What about scooping fish?" Zhu Dahai's curiosity was piqued and he asked.
Liu Hongjun laughed and explained: "The idea of scooping up fish with a gourd does not mean that if you just find a puddle or a small river, there will be so many fish that you can catch them with a gourd.
Although there are indeed many fish in the river here, and you can catch a few with a ladle, that is not the real meaning of scooping fish. "
"Ah? What's going on with the scooping of fish?" This time the silly roe deer had already run away, and everyone was not in a hurry to chase him. They all sat around Liu Hongjun, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
Liu Hongjun took a deep breath of the cold air and continued: "Scooping fish actually refers to a unique way of digging ice for fishing in the Northeast winter.
Think about it, the river is frozen in winter and the fish are all under the ice.
But they also have to breathe, so they swim under the ice, looking for weak spots in the ice, and stick their heads out of ice holes to breathe fresh air. "
“At this time, experienced fishermen will find these ice caves or dig one themselves.
Then he lay down on the ice hole and used a special tool - it was not the ladle we usually use to scoop water, but a larger and stronger tool - to scoop out fish.
As soon as the fish appears, it is scooped into the tool, and it is easy to catch it. "
Liu Hongjun spoke vividly and everyone listened with interest.
"Brothers of the Red Army, isn't this right? We now use pull nets to cut ice and catch fish in winter, how can we use ladles to scoop out?" Zhu Dahai deliberately argued with Liu Hongjun and retorted.
“Now we have dragnets. In winter in our village, we use dragnets to catch fish every two or three years.
But what about before?
Before liberation, ordinary people could not afford such large fishing nets, nor could they organize so much manpower and material resources to pull the nets for winter fishing.
You can only dig holes in the ice and scoop out fish with a net. Liu Hongjun laughed.
"I can prove that Brother Hongjun and I used this method to scoop fish." Shitou saw that some people didn't believe what his brother Hongjun said, so he immediately stood up and proved it for Liu Hongjun.
"Brothers of the Red Army, the ice fishing you just talked about sounds very interesting. When can you take us to try it?" Zhu Dahai's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile.
In fact, Zhu Dahai was not very interested in ice fishing itself. He was more reminded of the delicious Zheluo fish that Liu Hongjun cooked last time.
The fresh texture and unique taste still make him have endless aftertaste.
When Liu Hongjun heard this, he laughed and said: "Brother Dahai, isn't this easy? There is a small reservoir near our village. The ice is thick and there are many fish. It is a good place to cut the ice for fishing.
When I have time in the future, I will take you there and keep it for you to have a good time! "
"That's great!" Zhu Dahai slapped his thigh and said happily, "Brothers from the Red Army, didn't you say you wanted to live in the city for a while last time?
When are you going?
When you go to the city, how about we go to Mudanjiang or Jingbo Lake to dig ice and fish together? "
"I originally planned to go into the city in the next few days, but since you are here, I will stay a few more days to accompany you.
It is a good suggestion to go fishing on the Mudanjiang River or Jingbo Lake through the ice. The fish in Mudanjiang and Jingbo Lake are better than the fish in our Gada Reservoir.
Then wait until I get to the city and let's go fishing again! "Liu Hongjun's eyes lit up when he heard about going to Mudanjiang and Jingbo Lake to dig ice for fishing.
"Then we have agreed that after you go to the city and settle down, we will go to dig the ice and fish.
The persimmon stewed jeluo fish you made last time, now that I think about it, I'm a little greedy again. "Zhu Dahai replied.
Everyone stood in a place with the wind, talking and laughing, waiting for the silly roe deer to come back.
After waiting for almost an hour, I saw the silly roe deer trotting over from a distance.
When I came to the place where I was looking for food, I looked around.
Without Liu Hongjun's instructions, everyone who had already assigned targets took off their gloves, raised their shotguns, aimed at the silly roe deer, and pulled the trigger.
There were seven people and five stupid roe deer, and the distance between the two sides was only forty meters. If they still couldn't hit, then their marksmanship was a bit too bad.
Liu Hongjun had to despise them.
After fourteen gunshots, all five silly roe deer fell to the ground.
The seven men used double-barreled shotguns, which could hold two bullets and fire two shots.
Zhu Dahai and the others did not hold back, so they fired twice.
After the gunfire stopped, Zhu Dahai, Jian Hongjie and others ran over excitedly to check on their prey.
"Brother Jie, Brother Hai, take the time to cut open and bleed, don't stink!" Liu Hongjun reminded from the side.
Shitou also went over to help, helping them disembowel and bleed, take out the internal organs, feed the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs to the dogs, and hang the intestines on the tree to be offered to the mountain god Lao Dao on his head.
Liu Hongjun raised his hand and looked at it. It was already past one o'clock at noon.
It's time to have lunch. After lunch, we will return to Yushutun.
"Brother Jie, Brother Hai, we should go back to meet Dashan and have lunch!" Liu Hongjun interrupted Jian Hongjie, Zhu Dahai and others who were bragging and said with a smile.
"What should we do with these prey? Just put them here?" Zhu Dahai looked at the silly roe deer on the ground and asked with some worry.
"It's okay. Let's go back and find the mountain and drive the carriage over. These prey can't escape!" Liu Hongjun said with a smile.
