Chapter 458: Fishing under the ice to witness the miracle
Fresh fish... Chang'an City is not in winter, but it is often eaten. You should know that the most popular people in the Tang Dynasty were sashimi.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty fishing was already very advanced. Not only were there nets, but also cages, traps, animals, etc. But there is a prerequisite for these fishing methods, that is, your water surface cannot be frozen.
If the water surface is frozen because the weather is too cold, then these fishing methods will lose their function.
In other words, since the snow disaster, Chang'an City has not eaten fresh fish for a long time. Li Zhan proposed that the girls could eat fresh fish, which made the girls feel a little unbelievable.
But Li Zhan smiled and said, "I will take you to Qujiang to catch fish...!"
"Ah..." The girl was very happy.
....................................
Qujiang... At this time, the river surface had been frozen to ice surface, and the thickness of the ice surface reached dozens of centimeters. Many people came to Qujiang to play ice. Of course, there would be no one in Qujiang where Li Zhan and others came, because this is the place owned by Li Chengqian and most people cannot enter.
Li Chengqian, who didn't know where to get the news, also ran over.
"Brother...you said you want to fish, how do you fish in winter?" Li Chengqian ran over with panting, looking at Li Zhan with a smile and asked.
"You can tell if you look at it, by the way... your affairs need to be stepped up, don't let me down!" Li Zhan reminded Li Chengqian again about Li Ke and Li Tai.
At this time, Li Chengqian said confidently: "Brother...you don't worry, everything is fine."
Finally, Li Zhan smiled, and then said to Hou Guangliang on the side: "Guangliang, the sun is out today, Ruixin should have nothing to do at home. Go and pick Ruixin out for fun."
"Ah...Is this OK?" Hou Guangliang glanced at Li Chengqian beside him.
Li Zhan smiled at this time: "Of course, you can. Just say that Brother Li invites her here, hoping that Ruixin can give Brother Li a face."
"Oh..." Hou Guangliang smiled happily and rode out of Qujiang.
At this time, Li Zhan said to Li Chengqian beside him: "Hou Junji is a person that must be held tightly. His father values him, and you also need him. Li Tai has the support of aristocratic families, which is something you can't get.
Li Ke has a legitimate minister of the previous dynasty. Although you are the crown prince, these ministers in the court are basically loyal to their father, so none of you can get their support.
This also makes Hou Junji important. With Hou Junji, you will at least get a little bit of the strength of the army."
"Brother... Chengqian knows your good intentions. Chengqian will not disappoint his elder brother. Chengqian used to make trouble, but Chengqian will definitely listen to his elder brother now." Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhan respectfully.
"Don't let yourself be wronged. You can also include it when you meet someone you like in the future, but you must understand balance and not be exclusive to favor, because exclusive to favor will make people arrogant."
"I remember...!"
Li Zhan smiled and nodded: "I've said too much, but I always want to say, I know you're mature and will get married soon, and I'll pay attention in the future!"
"Brother said it too strange. I would like to say to me for the rest of my life, because I know that my elder brother said to me, it is all for my goodness, and only those who do this for me will say this to me."
Li Chengqian's attitude made Li Zhan smile happily: "Okay... everything you should say is almost done. Let's go and check the fishing nets, and then today I will let you know what fishing under ice is."
"Fishing under the ice... It's great, brother, my fresh fish soup today depends on my brother." Li Chengqian giggled.
"Don't worry..." After saying that, Li Zhan took Li Chengqian and others to see the fishing net, a large fishing net. This ancient fishing net was made of hemp, and of course there is no way to compare with the current fishing net, but it is still more than enough for fishing under the ice.
"Brother... the water is frozen. How do you fish if you make such a big net?" Li Xing jumped to Li Zhan and asked in confusion.
Not only does Li Xing feel that he doesn't understand this problem, but in fact, no one else knows it either.
Li Qingan walked to the fishing net and said, "Li Lang, I really thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think about how you want to fish?"
"Haha..." Looking at Li Fengan, Li Zhan smiled and said, "If you can think of it, your husband, how can you subdue you...!"
"Bah..." Li Qing'an's pretty face turned red.
Li Chengqian burst into laughter. At this moment, Hou Guangliang came back and took his sister Hou Ruixin with him. Seeing Li Zhan Hou Ruixin, he immediately bowed and said, "Ruixin, please see Mr. Li."
"Oh, Ruixin, we are a family, what's the name of Young Master? Brother Li!" Li Zhan laughed, then took out a mirror the size of a palm from his arms and handed it over and said, "This is a mirror made by Brother Li himself, which is a hundred times clearer than a bronze mirror. You little girls should like it."
"Ah...!" Hou Ruixin screamed slightly, obviously she had already known the beauty of the mirror.
Seeing Hou Ruixin take the mirror and play with it, Hou Guangliang immediately said, "Please forgive me for your sins. My little sister doesn't know etiquette."
"Oh... Guangliang, I think you are so polite. They are all family. My younger sister takes the elder brother's things and goes to play with them if she likes them. The prince didn't say anything, what are you going to worry about? OK... Ruixin, let's go, Brother Li takes you to see fishing under the ice. The prince takes care of Ruixin well. If Ruixin falls, I will ask you."
"Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of Ruixin."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Hou Ruixin's little face turned slightly red on the other side.
"Let's go... I'm going to catch fish." Amid Li Xing's cheers, the vigorous fishing under the ice began.
Li Zhan has been to the north. In the cold winter, he can use ice holes to fish under the ice.
This kind of under-ice fishing is usually done by pulling nets. Li Zhan and an old man who retreated from the northeast have learned under-ice fishing. Forget it, Li Zhan dared not say that his skills can catch fish, but in the Qujiang River in front of him, Li Zhan believed that his skills can capture all the fish in it.
I saw Li Zhan walking on the pond, Gao Hu, Ying Lao, Changkong, Ouyang Ye... beside him, all accompanied him carefully. Li Zhan chose a flatter position at the bottom of the water. After Li Zhan found it, he immediately asked Changkong and Gao Hu to lead his men to dig two parallel rectangular ice holes on the ice surface that were separated by a certain distance. These two holes were called lower mesh holes and out mesh holes.
Following Li Zhan, Li Yi asked Li Yi to lead a group of people to carve out two arc lines made of many ice eyes between the two holes.
After these were completed, Li Zhan began to ask Hou Guangliang and the people from the East Palace to put the large fishing nets that had been woven into the lower mesh, tied the net rope to two bamboo poles, and lead them out of the mesh from the ice eyes. The man operated on the ice and kept pulling the fishing nets all the time.
This process took almost half an hour to do it, and everyone stared at how Li Zhan commanded it, but no matter how he looked, everyone couldn't figure out what Li Zhan was doing.
Just after Hou Guangliang and the people from the East Palace pulled the net under the water... Li Zhan smiled and said, "The moment of witnessing the miracle is about to begin. Are you ready?"
