    Qin Duan said: "The old method is to drill a row of holes in the ice at a certain interval, use a long pole to send the rope from one hole to the next hole, and then lower the net after the rope is buried."

    Zheng Na: "If it is a large-scale winter catch, the nets will be pulled by horses."

    Barrage: "Wow! It sounds so difficult to operate!"

    "It seems that everyone has done a lot of homework."

    "Actually, it's not that troublesome." Xu Jianian said suddenly.

    Everyone looked at him, and he motioned everyone to look at the chainsaw in Lin He's hand.

    Lin He said: "Our net is not that big. We can use a chainsaw to cut a thin hole in the ice and bury the rope in the water."

    "That's right!" Everyone was surprised, "Why didn't we think of that?"

    "Then we were going to take the ice-covered igloo, so we might as well break through the ice and then lower the net." Huang Kaiwen suggested.

    Lin He shook his head, "The movement of the chainsaw and ice harvesting may scare the fish away."

    Xu Jianian said: "So we'd better take ice from the upstream, and release the net downstream, with a little distance in between."

    Qin Duan: "I agree."

    Fang Luchen: "But if the fish is frightened, why care about the upstream and downstream? It will be over if it runs in all directions."

    Wen Minmin: "But as long as the fish going down the river can be caught by the net, the harvest should not be small, right?"

    As soon as they said it, they first found a flat snow field in the lee of the south of the north forest. About 30 meters southeast of this place was a frozen river.

    Everyone erected a firewood stake in the center of the snow to mark the place where the igloo was built.The place to pick up the ice is set nearby.

    Then everyone walked down the river together, and selected a river channel where fish schools might gather.

    With a chainsaw in hand, Lin He cut out a rectangular block of ice on the ice surface and cut it to the last side. Huang Kaiwen and Qin Duan tied the ice block with a rope, and dragged the block to the shore at the moment Lin He cut it off.Press the weight of the net rod and net rope later.

    Then, starting from this ice cave, Lin He used a chainsaw to cut a thin arc-shaped opening about 20 meters long to the other side of the river, and saw an ice hole at the end.

    Lu Yiwei, Wen Minmin and Zheng Na held the net rope and stuffed the rope under the ice through the thin opening.

    Then Xu Jianian and Fang Lvchen lowered the net along the rope at one end, and they pulled the rope at the other end to spread the net apart.

    After the net is lowered, a tree trunk is tied to each end of the rope and fixed on the ice on both sides to prevent the rope from falling into the water with the net and nothing can be caught.

    "It's done!" Fang Luchen and Huang Kaiwen clapped their hands together.

    Qin Duan patted the icicles on the gloves and said, "Let's go, build the igloo first, and collect the nets at noon."

    Zheng Na worried: "Just one or two hours, there may not be much gain."

    Everyone walked upstream along the ice surface, Xu Jianian said: "There is no way, everyone has no food, so we can count on this net at noon."

    Lin He: "If you harvest enough, you can collect it tomorrow morning if you log off the net at noon."

    Wen Minmin: "There must be more after the night?"

    Xu Jianian: "Maybe you can harvest a day's worth of ingredients when you close the net tomorrow morning. After that, you only need to collect once every morning, and next time."

    Huang Kaiwen: "In this case, should we entrust the program team to ask the villagers, and after the program is recorded, we will pay for some fish fry?"

    Fang Luchen: "Yes, don't be overfished by us."

    Barrage: "??? How much fish can a group of you eat?"

    "Are you looking down on our Great Northeast?"

    "Hahahahaha, they are kind too."

    This is really underestimating the amount of fish in the Great Northeast Glacier.

    They are not fishing and selling in large quantities, even if they catch for twelve days, it is not considered "overfishing".

    However, everyone is imagining the scene of a good harvest, and they are also willing to give back to nature and the local villagers.

    Thinking about it this way, building an igloo is even more exciting.

    They came to the snow field marked just now, tied a small wooden stick with a rope about two meters long, and drew a circle with the firewood stake in the center as the center.

    "Looking at it this way, it's not particularly big." Huang Kaiwen said.

    Xu Jianian said: "In case our estimated radius is wrong, it is best to lay ice bricks along the periphery of the circle to ensure that the indoor area is at least this large."

    Lin He nodded, "Let's divide the work. The gentleman will go with me to fetch ice from the river and bring it over. The lady will use a saw or something to dig out a layer of snow from the circle."

    Lu Yiwei was puzzled: "Is it necessary to lay the foundation to build an igloo?"

    Zheng Na explained: "It's not about laying the foundation. The interior is dug a little lower, so the igloo doesn't have to be so high, and the inside has enough 'story height'."

    "Yes." Xu Jianian touched his fingertips and drew a semicircle, "The height of the arched building decreases from the middle to the two sides. If you don't dig deeper, the space will be too small."

    Lu Yiwei nodded: "Understood."

    Lin He took his folding saw as a demonstration. The snow is much softer than the ice layer. Using a folding saw can easily cut out a square snow brick like cutting tofu.

    He dug out the snow bricks, which were about 30 centimeters thick, but the soil underneath was not fully visible. "Dig out like this, it will be a snow brick, which can be stacked on both sides to build a bed."

    "Understood." The female guests nodded.

    Lin He put his folding saw on the snow bricks and lent them to use.

    Xu Jianian looked at Suisui and the others, "Kids, can you stay here and help?"

    It is quite dangerous to go to the river to fetch ice. If you take children there, if they are not careful and miss it, it will be too late to regret it.

    Knowing that the fathers were going to do business, Sui Sui nodded obediently.

    Xu Jianian touched his head, "Follow Auntie and the others and don't run around, okay?"

    Sui Sui nodded, Fang Siyu puffed out his chest and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Xu, I'll take care of Sui Sui."

    Qin Xiaoyu said to Fang Siyu: "You are the youngest, we look at you and you are about the same."

    "Slightly slight~" Fang Siyu stuck out his tongue at him, took Sui Sui's hand and ran to the other side of the snow field, "I'm the one looking at Sui Sui."

    "Childish." Qin Xiaoyu said disdainfully.

    Huang Xuanyu covered her mouth and snickered, then ran over: "Wait for me."

    Qin Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, and reluctantly walked over there.

    The adults looked at each other and smiled, and got busy according to their division of labor.

    Fang Siyu dragged Suisui to run in the snow, Qin Xiaoyu called Suisui by his name and wanted to play with him.

    Among the three children, Qin Xiaoyu first met Sui Sui. They came here together by plane, and the parents knew each other beforehand. He naturally felt that he and Sui Sui were more familiar and belonged together.

    Unexpectedly, after arriving, there was another Fang Siyu who had known Suisui earlier and always got together, which made him very unconvinced.

    "Wait for me." Huang Xuanyu was a little afraid of the tall and strong Qin Xiaoyu, so she ran to Fang Siyu, who took her hand and ran together.

    A few children were circling in the snow like an eagle catching chickens.

    Qin Xiaoyu, who was forced to become an "Eagle", stomped his feet angrily, calling them "childish".

    Sui Sui held Fang Siyu back, "Stop playing, let's help with work."

    Fang Siyu straightened the hat that was almost blown off by the wind, his face flushed, "How can I help? My lord won't let us play with saws."

    Sui Sui said, "We have shovels."

    The program group sent them children's tool shovels, and digging snow was no problem at all.

    "That's right." Fang Siyu laughed, and pulled him and Huang Xuanyu over to "make peace" with Qin Xiaoyu, "We're not going to play anymore, we're starting to work now."

    Qin Xiaoyu crossed his arms and sulked: "Why should I listen to you?"

    Suisui said his thoughts, Fang Siyu and Huang Xuanyu nodded, and looked at Qin Xiaoyu.

    Qin Xiaoyu awkwardly took out the children's tool shovel, "Dig, just dig."

    Sui Sui imitated what his father did just now, inserting a tool shovel into the snow to cut squares, and took out a snow brick that was more than ten centimeters thick and the size of a textbook.

    "Isn't it too small?" Qin Xiaoyu said in disgust, and raised his shovel, "Look at me digging a big one!"

    Seeing this, Fang Siyu said, "I'll dig a bigger one!"

    Both of them cut a large piece of snow, but for a long time, the snow was shattered and scattered, and they couldn't dig it up.

    Sui Sui sighed, and persuaded: "We are weak, and the shovel is not as long as the saw, so we cannot dig such a big one."

    Huang Xuanyu nodded: "Yeah!"

    Fang Siyu immediately gave up when he heard the words, sat on his knees in the snow, gasped and said to Suisui: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

    Qin Xiaoyu pursed his lips, and sat down slumped, "I, I knew it a long time ago, just to tease you."

    Suisui: "..."

    Barrage: "Hahahahaha who the hell is naive, kid Qin Xiaoyu?"

    "The kid doesn't speak very nicely, but he's quite arrogant."

    "Poor Mrs. Sui, who has inherited his father's career at such a young age and has become a leader."

    "Let's see Mr. Sui carrying the banner of the king of children, hehehehe~~~"

    "Sister, why can you make a voice?"

    Suisui sighed, pulled Fang Siyu and Qin Xiaoyu up, "Don't get snow in your shoes and clothes, you'll catch a cold."

    Although their coats and trousers are waterproof, sitting in the snow like this may wet the clothes inside.

    Fang Siyu and Qin Xiaoyu stood up obediently, shaking off the snow from their bodies.

    Huang Xuanyu mobilized everyone, "Let's dig hard, and we can make a small bed."

    That's right, Fang Siyu and Qin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, they can make an ice bed by themselves.

    Sui Sui actually didn't want to be separated from his fathers and sleep with the children, but because everyone suddenly became active, he didn't express his thoughts.

    It's also good to make a small bed yourself, dads are sure to think he's great.

    Sui Sui remembers the "architectural drawing" drawn by his father on the floor of the brick house, and said to the children: "Auntie and the others pile up the snow bricks they dug up on the left side, and there will be a bed on the corresponding right side, which is where the adults sleep.".”

    "There is an aisle in the middle, and a table will be built at that time." He raised his arms to gesture for the aisle, and then pointed forward, "There is a door opening on the other side of the aisle, so our small beds will be stacked here."

    He pointed behind him, "At that time, it will be connected with the beds on the left and right to form a large 'U'-shaped bed."

    "Wow!" Fang Siyu and Huang Xuanyu's eyes widened.

    Fang Siyu: "That's cool!"

    "Wow, wow, do you understand?" Qin Xiaoyu said helplessly.

    Huang Xuanyu said: "I understand, Sui Sui said that the cots are piled up here."

    "You don't care about me!" Fang Siyu turned his head and stared at Suisui, "Anyway, I listen to Suisui."

    Qin Xiaoyu: "..."

    Barrage: "Hahahaha elementary school chicken bickering."

    "Sui Sui is amazing, he can build a house at such a young age."

    "Qin Xiaoyu happens to be the age of the most hated elementary school chicken, and he loves to argue."

    "Primary school students are just BKing, many boys of this age are like this."

    "No one is really angry when we quarrel, it's just a joke."

    "Elementary school student BKing is okay hahahaha"

    In the snow, the children dug snow bricks under the leadership of Sui Sui.

    On the ice, Lin He led all the men to saw and get ice together.

    The ice itself is 30 centimeters thick. They agreed that each piece of ice would be sawn into a size of 60 centimeters long and 40 centimeters wide, tied with a rope, dragged out of the water, and dragged along the ice surface to the snow.there.

    Lin He operated the chainsaw, Fang Luchen and Huang Kaiwen tied the rope and pulled the ice, and Xu Jianian and Qin Duan were responsible for the delivery.

    After working for a while, switch positions, change jobs and take a break.

    They all learned how to operate the chainsaw with the teacher hired by the program group just now to prevent accidents.

    After one morning, they took more than 20 pieces of ice, dug a big hole in the river, and moved it to the snow to build the bottom circle of the igloo.

    Barrage: "Wow! The progress of the igloo is 10%!"

    "I can't imagine how it would have been built if Mr. Lin hadn't asked the program crew for the chainsaw."

    "Maybe we can only use snow."

    "The snow at minus 20 degrees is actually strong enough, can it be covered?"

    "It feels so difficult, everyone, come on!"

    The gaps between the ice bricks were filled with snow from the ground by female guests, and the snow brick bed on the left also took shape.

    "Look," Lu Yiwei said to the men who came back from the river, "the children even made a small bed."

    "Xuanyu's proposal is a plan designed by Sui Sui." Zheng Na added.

    The snow bricks they dug are small, so far they have only built one level as high as the steps, and they have been pressed flat with a shovel.

    The fathers smiled at the same time and praised their children.

    Xu Jianian hugged Sui Sui and touched his head with him, "We Sui Sui are so good."

    Sui Sui pursed the corners of her lips and smiled shyly, her face was blush after physical labor.

    Xu Jianian patted the snow off his gloves, took off his gloves and touched his little hands, "Is it cold? Did you get your shoes and clothes wet?"

    Sui Sui shook his head, Fang Siyu said loudly, "We are all sweating from work."

    Huang Xuanyu: "Well, it's not cold at all."

    Qin Xiaoyu: "I'm almost dying of heat."

    Fang Siyu: "I'm hotter than you!"

    Qin Xiaoyu wanted to take off his clothes on the spot, but was stopped by Zheng Na, "Dress well, it's easiest to catch a cold when you take it off now."

    The adults also sweated at work, and drank most of the water in the thermos.

    Xu Jianian touched Sui Sui's warm hands, helped him put on the gloves again, and then took his little hand, "Come on, let's collect the net."

    When they came to the place where the net was lowered, a layer of crushed ice had formed in the ice hole where the net was lowered.

    Lin He crushed the ice with an ice hammer, pulled up the net rope and began to collect the net. Huang Kaiwen stepped forward to help pull it.

    After pulling it out for more than one meter, didn't see a single fish, and everyone couldn't help but get nervous.

    "Not without it?"

    "Yes." Lin He who stood at the front pulling the net suddenly said, "I feel the weight."

    He and Huang Kaiwen speeded up and pulled out the net another meter. Sure enough, they saw a fish with a thick arm entangled in the net.

    Everyone was overjoyed, "So big?!"

    "There is more! There is more!"

    Xu Jianian pointed to the fish tails jumping under the water surface of the ice cave, Lin He and Huang Kaiwen continued to exert force, and the net was pulled out by a meter, and there were more than ten fish, large and small, hanging on the net!

    "Great harvest, comrades!" Fang Luchen said happily.

    One must know that the net was only cast for less than two hours, and the guests were provided with a day's rations, which was enough for them to exchange two fish for some staple food.

    Isn't this more exciting than ice fishing?
