Lin He caught a glimpse of the slight movement of the buoy, and lifted the rod again, but there was still no fish, but a small piece of bait was missing, and he didn't know whether it was eaten by the fish or soaked in the river.

Xu Jianian and Sui Sui suddenly showed disappointed expressions, but Xu Jianian still cheered everyone up, "It's okay, maybe there will be one after another."

Lin He was not very optimistic. He put the wooden bowls and chopsticks he had sharpened during the fishing break into the strawberry basket, and said to Xu Jianian, "It's dark and windy, you and Sui Sui should go back first."

After nightfall, the wind on the river was indeed stronger than during the day. Xu Jianian had already huddled half of his face in the scarf, hesitated for a moment, and said, "How about we go back directly? There is still half a catty of noodles left by my aunt at noon, and there is a bigCabbage, plus some dried meat and vegetables we brought, dinner can be handled.”

Sui Sui, who was held in his arms, also said, "We still have strawberries."

Lin He paused, then looked at Xu Jianian and Suisui.

Sui Sui may have no idea, but he and Xu Jianian both know that half a catty of noodles and a Chinese cabbage can't fill the stomachs of two big men and a child, and now that they've gone back, it means that they will still be hungry tomorrow morning.

Lin He thought for a while, then turned on the flashlight and shined it into the water, "Go back first, I'll try again."

Many fish like to attract light. don't know if this trick will work for the fish in the northern glaciers.

Seeing that he thought of a way, Xu Jianian put his arms around Suisui and asked in a low voice, "Are you cold? Let's wait with Dad, shall we?"

Sui Sui leaned in his arms and nodded obediently.

However, Xu Jianian took off his gloves and touched his face and hands to make sure they were warm, so he was relieved.

Barrage: "Why does it get dark after four o'clock?! You don't really go hungry on the first day, do you?"

"It's easy to watch them ice fishing by watching videos, but I didn't expect the real situation to be so difficult."

"People may fish for a day and only cut out a few minutes for you to see."

"Yes, the fish are less active during the winter and are more prone to unhooking than usual."

"What should I do? I don't want my wife to be hungry/sick"

"There are also children who are hungry and cold and have to work. They will not grow tall."

"Although, it finally looks like a survival show hahahaha (laughs from the big villain)"

Just when the audience was worried about the dinner of the guests, Lin He noticed that the buoy moved slightly again.He immediately handed the flashlight to Xu Jianian, and picked up the pole to take up the line.

While helping with the lighting, Xu Jianian hugged Sui Sui tightly and held his breath.

Lin He felt a pulling force underwater, and the corners of his tensed lips immediately relaxed, and he pulled out the hooked fish without giving the target time to escape.

"Yes, yes!" Xu Jianian and Sui Sui immediately cheered, with smiles on their faces.

Barrage: "Ah, ah, Mr. Lin 666!"

"Finally caught!!!"

"Congratulations, my wife has meat tonight!"

The other three groups of families on the ice were moved by the sound and looked up one after another.

It was a crucian carp the size of Lin He's palm. It froze a bit when it got out of the water, and it stopped moving after two jumps.

Lin He untied it and threw it on the ice, put bait on the hook again, and handed the fishing rod to Xu Jianian, "You try it, I'll kill the fish first."

Before it was completely frozen, it happened to be by the river.

Xu Jianian took the fishing rod, pointed the flashlight at the ice cave like Lin He, and stared at the buoy patiently.

The other three groups of families came to learn Buddhist scriptures and pointed their flashlights into the water when they returned.

Lin He killed the fish and removed its internal organs, but it was not wasted. It was chopped up and put in the bait box for fishing.

As soon as this was done, Xu Jianian suddenly handed the flashlight to Sui Sui, knelt up and lifted the pole to reel up the line, and pulled up a palm-sized crucian carp, which was slightly smaller than the one just now.

"I caught it too." Xu Jianian said happily.

Sui Sui laughed and said, "Father is amazing!"

Lin He: "It should be the light and fishy smell that attracted the fish, try again."

He hung the bait mixed with a little bit of fish viscera on the hook, and asked Xu Jianian to continue fishing, while he killed the second fish himself.

Fish cannot be raised at such a low temperature, so it is better to kill them all and freeze them with snow.

"Won't the fish be scared away by the smell of blood from the same species? The smell of death!" Xu Jianian joked, but actually trusted Lin He, and put the hook back into the water.

Lin He said: "This fishy smell should be able to attract omnivorous fish. If you get some earthworms or chicken intestines another day, the effect may be better."

Xu Jianian and Sui Sui nodded and silently wrote down the knowledge points.

Lin He washed the blood of the second fish into the ice cave. The fishing places of the four families were all downstream of the ice cave where the water was taken, so they didn't worry about polluting the water above.

After a while, Xu Jianian felt that the fish was biting the bait again.

Barrage: "Here we go again! My wife is cheating, right?"

"This is called thick accumulation."

"If it wasn't twenty or thirty degrees below zero, I would suspect that someone hung a fish/dog head on his wife's hook in the water"

"Maybe He Bo has taken a fancy to his wife's beauty."

"Hahahahaha President Lin will not agree."

"Siyu's family has also gained something!"

I don’t know if it’s because the fish have been hungry for a day, and they started to “go hungry”. Four beams of lights shone into the water, and every family gradually gained something.

Xu Jianian and Lin He caught three fish here, but there were no fish when they lifted the rod a few times later, but one fish ran away just before it came out of the water, which made Xu Jianian's teeth itch with anger.

Lin He comforted him: "Let's go here first today, and if you fish any further, you might not get anything."

Xu Jianian said: "Well, let's go back, anyway, today's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast are ready."

Lin He nodded, took the wooden bucket to fetch water from the ice cave upstream, and brought Xu Jianian and Suisui home.

The other three groups of families didn't gain as much as they did, but they all asked the wives to take their children home to make food first, and the men stayed here and worked hard for a while.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and night had fallen for more than an hour.

The three of them drank the water in the thermos that Xu Jianian brought out, and the first thing they did when they got home was to go to the dry toilet.

It may be because it is too cold, but there is no peculiar smell inside.

Xu Jianian thought of the stalk on the Internet that he had to carry a stick to go to the bathroom in the north, so he quietly told Lin He, which made the man smile helplessly.

After personal practice, this stalk is too exaggerated.

But cold is really cold.

"In two days, let's find a way to get a chamber pot and put it at home." Xu Jianian said, "Although I don't like to put that kind of thing in the house, it's even scarier to have to go to the dry toilet at night."

Lin He nodded: "Yes."

The family of three grabbed a ball of snow on the side of the road to wash their hands, and then washed them again with hot water when they got home.

Before they went out in the afternoon, there was still an unburned firewood in the stove, warming the two small pots of water on the stove, and there was still a little bit of residual heat at the moment.

Xu Jianian looked at the three fish in the basket, and asked for the opinions of the other two family members, "One fish for grilling, one fish for noodle soup, and one for tomorrow morning, okay?"

Lin He and Suisui nodded: "OK/Yes!"

Lin He came in with a bundle of old pine branches, lit the fire with dry grass, and added firewood to the stove.

What they are burning now is still the dry firewood given by the aunt named Liu. The only old pine branches and some thin branches that have been cut down today are relatively dry, and the others may need to be dried in the sun.

Hope the next few days are good weather.

Xu Jianian looked at the firewood and suddenly thought: "We borrowed a basket of firewood from Aunt Liu and haven't returned it yet."

Lin He got up and said, "I'll go and pay it back, you and Sui Sui are warming up here."

Xu Jianian raised the corners of his lips: "Go ahead, I'll cook."

Lin He carried a bundle of firewood, came to Aunt Liu's house with a flashlight, and explained his purpose.

Aunt Liu was surprised and said, "Oh, you didn't come back from chopping firewood so late, did you?"

Lin He said, "No, we went fishing."

He put the firewood on his back in the yard, "Thanks to you during the day, I will return this bundle of firewood to you, but it may take a few days to dry before burning."

"Look at you, why are you so polite!" Aunt Liu scolded, "Auntie didn't urge you to return it, and besides, I didn't lend you so much."

She grabbed Lin He's wrist, "Listen, auntie, take this firewood back home. Don't you guys have to stay here for ten days? You must use firewood, right? Return it to me on the day you leave, will it work?"

Lin He hesitated, and Aunt Liu patted his arm to make a final decision: "Just listen to me." After speaking, she looked at the camera, "I promised, and I will return it on the day I leave. Isn't this against the rules?"

The big cameraman received the director's instructions in his earphones, and pressed the camera down as a nod.

Aunt Liu said cheerfully, "Look at it, the program team has agreed."

Lin He held Aunt Liu's hand instead, bowed slightly, "Then thank you."

"You're welcome!" Aunt Liu said, "By the way, have you had dinner yet? My aunt's stewed pork sauerkraut, and I'll serve you a bowl."

"No need, aunt." Lin He was almost brought into a Northeast accent by the other party, and quickly picked up the firewood on the ground, "I'm going back, you rest, don't work too hard."

"Huh?" Aunt Liu didn't stop him, she stood at the door and waved at him, "Slow down, don't fall."

Barrage: "My aunt is so nice!"

"The first time I met Mr. Lin and bowed to others 2333"

"Isn't that right? Mr. Lin, who has a lot of money, has to rely on our aunt to protect him when he goes to the Northeast to survive."

"Hahahahaha"

When Lin He returned home, Xu Jianian was sticking fish with a branch and roasting it in the stove, and the noodles in the small pot were almost cooked.

Lin He took out the bowls and chopsticks that he had made in the afternoon. The time was limited. Currently, there were only two bowls and three pairs of chopsticks.

He asked Xu Jianian and Suisui to use bowls, and he used a pot to sit on the kang for dinner.

There was no light in the room, only the faint fire from the stove and the flashlight on the kang brought light.

Taking advantage of this light, Lin He put the pickled fish into Xu Jianian's and Suisui's bowls, "Eat slowly, the spines may not be picked clean."

Xu Jianian nodded.

Sui Sui sucked on the noodles, his cheeks puffed up, "Thank you, father."

Barrage: "Finally have a hot meal!"

"It feels like Sui Sui eats deliciously, must be starving?"

"It's so warm! It feels like a hard day's work is worth it."

"It's too difficult. I would definitely not be able to survive in my place. When I can't catch fish, I will retreat."

"Hold on, wife! We're going to build an igloo!"

After eating, Xu Jianian and Lin He boiled another pot of water, the two thermos cups were already filled, and this pot of water was used to wipe their bodies.

They didn't bring towels, but fortunately they brought a lot of underwear. Lin He cut a brand new autumn coat for himself, used one as a towel to wipe his face, and another to wipe his body and feet, and kept the rest for later use.

Xu Jianian called it extravagant, but there was nothing he could do.

There was no bucket for bathing, so Lin He and Xu Jianian took the small pot outside the house, poured hot water to soak the towel, and then ran into the house to wipe Sui Sui's face.

The conditions are limited and we can't be particular about it. The family of three wiped with the same towel, then changed to another towel to wipe their bodies and feet, put on socks and returned to the kang to keep warm.

At this time, the light of a flashlight came from outside the window, and there was a knock on the door.

"Boss Lin, Jia Nian, are you guys asleep?"

It was Fang Luchen's voice.

"No." Lin He went down to the kang to open the door, and found that the other three groups of families had come.

"Is it convenient?" Fang Lvchen asked, "We want to discuss building an igloo before everyone sleeps."

Lin He looked at Xu Jianian, who nodded and put on his down jacket, "It's convenient, come in."

Although they wiped their bodies, they really didn't plan to go to sleep, they didn't brush their teeth, and they sat on the kang and ate strawberries.

Fang Luchen and the others did not come empty-handed. They went to the villagers' homes to help with work at noon. In addition to the ingredients, the villagers also hospitablely gave some peanuts, melon seeds, persimmons and oranges, which they took to share.

When there are too many people, the room becomes too small.

"Kids, take off your clothes and go play on the kang." Xu Jianian said, "Sui Sui will share the strawberries with everyone."

Suisui: "OK."

The children took off their coats and trousers and went to the kang, the female guests sat on the edge of the kang, and the male guests took the firewood pile as a stool and sat near the stove.

"The principle of an igloo is to build it with ice or snow bricks, form a round arch from bottom to top, and fill the gaps with snow, and stick them together tightly to prevent wind and wind, and to isolate heat exchange." Qin Duan began to say., "We can first think about the location of the igloo, and where to get the materials."

Lin He said: "If ice is used, it should be taken from the river. If snow is used, snow bricks should be frozen thick enough."

Xu Jianian: "Well, the snow is too soft to cover it."

Huang Kaiwen: "It's quite difficult to get ice from the river. How many pieces of ice do you have to cut to build a snow house for twelve people?"

Fang Luchen: "We haven't decided how big the cover will be."

Everyone: "..."

Barrage: "Hahahahaha, there are so many issues to consider, and the topic of chatting is getting off track."

"Let's do this," Lin He unknowingly became the leader again, "Let's find a way to exchange a fishing net with the program team, lower the net to catch fish, solve the food problem, free up the manpower for fishing, and improve efficiency."

"Yes." Xu Jianian said, "It's too inefficient to spend a few hours fishing like this afternoon."

The other guests nodded one after another, Lu Yiwei: "Indeed, we are almost hungry today."

Qin Duan said: "Then we only need to lower and collect the nets in the future. As long as the fish caught are enough to eat, the rest of the time can be used to build igloos."

Everyone nodded.

Barrage: "That's right! Free your hands and increase productivity!"

"Hahahaha dream back to political class."

Xu Jianian picked up a thin piece of firewood and burned it in the stove. Using the black end as a charcoal pencil, he drew a rectangle on the ground.

"To sleep twelve people, there must be at least one ice bed of two meters by five meters in the igloo."

Wen Minmin said, "How big is a circular vault with a diameter of five meters?"

Fang Luchen was frightened by the size, "It doesn't have to be so round, does it?"

Xu Jianian thought for a while, drew a circle on the ground, drew two lines inside, and cut the circle into three parts: left, middle and right.

"Or we consider building an ice bed on the left and right sides, so that men and women sleep separately, and then draw a curtain in the middle, so it will be more convenient for lesbians."

This suggestion was unanimously approved by the female guests. Although they only stayed for one night, it would be good to reduce some inconvenience factors at the beginning of the design.

Xu Jianian wrote a number "3" on the two lines inside the circle, and said: "Then this place is about three meters long. There is an aisle between the two beds. You can also build an ice table and use stones to build a soil."kitchen."

Lin He: "The whole room is about four meters in diameter."

Everyone did some calculations, and Huang Kaiwen frowned: "The area is still very large... The program team also said that we have ten days to spare. How can we cover such a large area?"

Lu Yiwei gritted her teeth and looked at the director who came with the camera crew, "Okay, Director Pang, you cheated us again!"

Barrage: "Hahahahahaha"

"The director has been on the way to deceive people and never stops."

"It is difficult to build a 4-meter-diameter building, but after the construction is completed, twelve guests squeeze in, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to even turn around."

"Fortunately only stayed one night."

"Hearing their calculations, I immediately gave up the idea of trying to build an igloo someday."

Xu Jianian pondered for a moment, then looked at the director, "The program team has given such a difficult task, so it's not too much to give us some props?"

Wen Minmin immediately chimed in: "That's right, each of us only brought ten items, and it's hard to survive. How can we have tools to build an igloo?"

Fang Lvchen: "That's right, otherwise we'll quit, let's just get through these twelve days."

director:"……"

Barrage: "Not too much, not too much! Give it to them!"

"You all are really little clever ghosts!"

"What do you want?" the director conceded and asked.

Just as everyone was about to speak, they suddenly stopped and looked at the two "brains" of Lin He and Qin Duan.

Lin He thought for a while and said, "Give us a chainsaw and unlimited charging opportunities."

Everyone was stunned, and the director was surprised: "Why do you want a chainsaw?"

Lin He: "Get ice."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Yeah, isn't it faster to use a chainsaw than they use an ice hammer and an axe?
