Chapter 377

The three of them worked for an hour and a half, and the ice hole was finally chiseled out.

Wang An and Wang Li were both exhausted, but Niu Dazhuang didn't seem to know what being tired was at all; seeing the water in the ice hole, he began to roar and jump, his energy truly vigorous.

To be honest, Wang An looked at Niu Dazhuang, who was exceptionally happy at this time, and felt that he had also become happy.

I have to say, although sad emotions are easily transmitted to surrounding people, happy emotions are the same.

Immediately after, fish began to come up from the ice hole, but they were all small fish.

And Niu Dazhuang saw the fish and pointed at the small fish in the ice hole like a child and shouted:

"Fish, fish, look, fish are coming out, hahaha..."

Wang An hurriedly comforted him with a smile: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, fish are coming up; in a while, even bigger fish will come up."

Wang An spoke, but Niu Dazhuang acted as if he hadn't heard at all, not even looking at Wang An, continuing to immerse himself in his own world, shouting and laughing loudly.

Then Wang An stopped talking awkwardly.

The main thing is that they couldn't communicate.

It might be because people always chisel ice holes to scoop fish in this river near the settlement, so the speed of fish coming up was not as fast as in the mountains.

After Wang An scooped out the small fish, he waited for about 20 minutes before big fish gradually gathered.

Wang An scooped a few times, and the fish in the ice hole were scooped clean, and on the ice, there were less than 10 fish.

Not only were there not many, but they were all ordinary fish, and the biggest fish was only three or four jin, still a very common big grass carp.

As for the more precious and tastier fish, not a single one was seen on the ice.

Wang An looked at the few fish jumping on the ice, and Niu Dazhuang, who was also jumping happily, and sucked his teeth fiercely.

This fish harvest is truly damn boring!

However, scooping fish is completely random; as for what fish will come up in the ice hole, it has nothing to do with people.

Fortunately, along with the fish, there were more than a dozen forest frogs.

Seeing the forest frogs, Wang An felt a little comforted in his heart and finally felt that this ice hole was worth a little bit.

Wang Li looked at the fish on the ice and frowned:

"Fourth Brother, did we chisel this ice hole in the wrong place? What kind of broken things are these?"

Wang An glared at Wang Li upon hearing this, and then said unhappily:

"Didn't you say there were plenty of fish in this river near our settlement? Where are the fish?"

Wang Li blinked his eyes, scratched his head, and said:

"I heard it from my dad too; he said quite a few people have been scooping fish these past two days, and the harvest was quite good."

Wang An didn't pay attention to Wang Li, stirred the ice hole with the large strainer a few times, then threw the strainer away and began to stare blankly at the ice hole.

Wang An had a strong intuition that today's fish harvest was 80 or 90 percent likely to be damn poor.

Wang Li looked at the ice hole that didn't want to yield fish and suddenly said to Wang An:

"Fourth Brother, this ice hole is probably useless; why don't we change places and chisel another one?"

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this; chiseling just one ice hole was damn exhausting.

Chisel another one? Are you kidding?

So, Wang An asked a key question:

"Chisel another one, what if no fish come up?" Wang Li looked at Wang An and immediately fell silent...

So, an extremely strange scene appeared on the ice.

Wang An and Wang Li, the brothers, squatted by the ice hole and stared blankly at it, while Niu Dazhuang played happily with the few frozen fish on the ice, occasionally laughing out loud a few times.

An hour later, after completing the third scooping of fish with the large strainer today, Wang An was completely disappointed with this scooping of fish.

The fish from the three times added together, there were less than 20 fish over half a jin, and there were only 20-plus forest frogs in total.

The key is that there wasn't a single tasty fish; they were all common carp, grass carp, silver carp, and big crucian carp over half a jin.

It's better not to mention crucian carp and silver carp, because these two fish are full of bones; locally, they are mainly used to feed ducks and geese; as for people eating them, that's unlikely.

Actually, fish meat, if there is no oil, is really not very tasty, and eating only fish without rice will also give you a feeling of not being full no matter how much you eat.

So if there is no oil in your stomach, and the fish is cooked without oil, then eating fish will taste like wax, and there will be no feeling of deliciousness at all.

But if you eat very greasy food every day, and the fish is cooked with oil, then the feeling of eating fish is completely different.

Simply delicious!

At this time, Wang An was pondering whether the few fish he got after dividing could fool his little sister Wang Xiaoli.

Then Wang An looked at Niu Dazhuang again and felt that this matter was a bit risky, because Wang Xiaoli's IQ was clearly higher than Niu Dazhuang's.

Just when Wang An was in a dilemma, he heard Wang Li shout loudly:

"Fish, big fish, Fourth Brother, big fish are coming."

Wang An heard this, his spirit was instantly lifted, he picked up the large strainer and was about to insert it into the ice hole, but seeing the big guy before him, Wang An was instantly dumbfounded.

The main thing is that this fish is also damn big!

In his past life, besides seeing such big fish by the seaside in the south, Wang An had never seen such big fish.

Because this fish in the ice hole was a kaluga,

And it was a particularly big kaluga.

Just the exposed front half of the fish head was half the size of the ice hole; if the whole fish were pulled out, how big would it be?

To be honest, at first glance at this big kaluga, I thought it was damn a monster in the water!

In this era, although kaluga are rarer than "third-class" fish, they can occasionally be caught.

Whether it was the one Wang Dazhu caught during the New Year, or the biggest fish Feng Chengmin led everyone to scoop in the mountains the night before last, they were all kaluga.

But such a big kaluga is extremely rare, and even hearing about it is rare.

But no matter how rare it is, Wang An wanted to pull it out!

Because people who have eaten this thing will definitely not forget how delicious it is.

It can be said that there is no part of this thing that is not delicious, except for the fish gills, bitter gall, and fish intestines, especially the kaluga roe, which is simply the most delicious of the delicious.

So, Wang An threw away the large strainer and picked up the ice chisel.

Just when this big kaluga poked its fish mouth out again, the ice chisel in Wang An's hand stabbed out with lightning speed.

I have to say, Wang An stabbed quite accurately.

Because immediately after, Wang An felt a huge force coming from the ice chisel, making Wang An unable to hold onto it.

Then, Wang An swayed left and right by the ice hole while holding the ice chisel, just like dancing.

This big kaluga is truly damn strong!
