Chapter 250 Everyone Joins the Battle

"What's that for?"

"Don't you see that they are holding fishing nets? They are fishing."

"There is such a way to play, I have never seen it before. Hey, I saw it today, it's really rare."

A group of onlookers gathered together and talked about it. They had never seen anyone play like this before, so they all came to see what was new.

"See the spot I marked? Just drill holes according to that spot. Everyone, work harder. It gets dark early in winter. Don't catch too few fish, or you won't have enough to share. Let's get to work."

After giving an order, Wang Luo took the borrowed pickaxe and started to dig holes in the ice. Since there was no pickaxe, he had to use the pickaxe instead. After all, they were all strong young men with plenty of energy. Everyone took turns, and after two groups of people had dug holes in the ice in a short time, they began to lower the nets along the holes and threaded the nets.

"Xiao Luo, can you really catch fish this way? Don't waste your energy. You may not even see a single fish fry."

It was the first time Wei Qiang saw this fishing method and was a little skeptical.

"You know shit. Why would I do something you're not sure of? Let me tell you, this thing is very useful. It's just that our net is small. If we had a thousand-meter-long net, we could catch tens of thousands of pounds of fish every time. Just wait and see."

Everyone was waiting to see if it was really as magical as Wang Luo said.

"Xiao Luo, when are you going to get online? I can't wait."

Zhou Changli and others gathered around and asked about Wang Luo.

"Don't be impatient. Wait a minute. I'll tell everyone that we only want the big fish. After we catch the small fish, we should put them all back. Don't let there be no fish to catch next year. We won't do anything like exhausting the resources."

"I understand. Just hold it."

After waiting for several dozen minutes, Wang Luo took a general look.

"Collect the net, collect the net, get ready to collect the net. Those who are strong should go forward, and the others should maintain order. Don't let the onlookers get too close. If someone falls into the water, it will be the end of them."

Wang Luo stood up and shouted, and everyone immediately took action, each doing their own job. Other onlookers also came over and waited for the result.

"Listen to my slogan, one, two, three."

"Hey."

"Try harder."

"Hey Yo"

. . . . . .

Led by the labor songs, everyone started to pull the net with all their might. If they followed the correct standard for winter fishing, they would have used a turntable to raise the net, but they didn't have that, so everyone had to pull the net by hand.

"Fish. Big fish."

After pulling for a while, the first fish emerged from the water. It was a big carp weighing more than ten kilograms. Someone with sharp eyes saw it and shouted.

"Hey, there really is a fish coming up."

"This is a good idea, but we all need to work together. It's hard for ordinary people to gather so many strong and healthy guys."

"Hurry up, hurry up, Wen Yan, Yu Shui, bring the sacks over and prepare to put the fish in them." Wang Luo gave an order, and those with less strength began to pick the fish off the net, leaving the big ones and throwing the small ones back. They had to do it quickly, otherwise the fish would be frozen stiff in a short while.

Everyone rushed forward and started to get busy. As the net was constantly pulled up, more and more fish were caught. In the last cast of the net, it is estimated that about five or six hundred kilograms of fish were caught.

"Fuck, there are so many fish! This is the first time I've seen so many fish. Wang Luo, there are so many, are you going to catch them or not?"

Wang Yadong thought about calling it a day. After all, there were too many people watching. As the news continued to spread, many people gathered to watch the fun, and he was afraid that something might happen.

"Catch them, we're just getting started. We need to take advantage of the crowd. Otherwise, we won't have this chance. How about this? You ride your bike to the neighborhood office and the police station and ask them to bring more sacks and people. Then we can have a big fight. Tonight, everyone can taste the fruits of our labor."

Seeing that there were a lot of fish, I just caught more, otherwise it would be difficult to get together.

"Okay, I'll go get someone."

Wang Yadong rode away on his bicycle.

"It's so fun. This is the first time we have played like this. Brother Wang Luo, please organize more in the future. There are plenty of fish in Miyun Reservoir and Ming Tombs Reservoir. Let's go there and catch some in a few days."

Yang Wenyan was so excited that she danced with joy. She didn't feel tired at all, but found it very interesting.

"It's a good idea. Let's see if there's time next week and gather enough people."

"We will definitely have time next week. If it doesn't work, I can just shout a few times in our compound and no one will come."

"Xiao Wang, would you like to exchange your fish? Can I use my food coupons to exchange for your fish?"

"I have some here, Master Xiao Wang, please give us some. It's not bad to stew some fish at home in the winter. We eat cabbage, radish and potatoes every day, and we are already tired of eating."

The onlookers came forward one after another, intending to exchange some fish to take back and try.

"If we don't change, we don't know what the next network will be like. Do you see all these people around us? There are people from our compound and from various military compounds. There are too many people. I guess there won't be enough to share. Let's see how the situation develops."

When the second network was downloaded, Director Wang from the Street Office and Chief Zhang from the Police Station came in person with a group of gentlemen, followed by a truck. Wang Luo recognized it as a truck from the steel rolling mill at a glance, and Director Yang drove the car himself.

"Classmate Wang Luo, I didn't expect that we would meet again. You are really amazing. You actually came to this lake to fish. Great, really amazing. You are indeed a man of both civil and military talents. Even your fishing method is different from others."

As soon as Director Yang got out of the car, he came over to greet him cheerfully.

"Director Yang, why are you here?"

"I just happened to have something to do at the street office. When I heard about this good thing, I ran faster than anyone else, Wang Luo, haha, you always think of our street when there is good news. Last time it was pork, this time it was fish. I heard from the messenger that there are more fish, so I simply drove the steel rolling mill truck over, which is more convenient to haul. Look at the people I brought, they are all good guys. Just give orders if there is anything, and everyone will listen to you."

"You are thoughtful. I will not be polite then, Director Yang. When the time comes, your steel mill can also pull some back to share. Then let's act. The second net has been lowered for a while. Let's raise the net immediately and try to get more nets before six o'clock in the evening."

. . . . . .

Just like that, under Wang Luo's command, everyone performed their duties and more people meant easier work. It was not until after six o'clock in the evening, when it had become completely dark, that the last net was pulled up.

We started at around 8:9 p.m. and cast six nets in total. Except for the first one which was a bit slow, the others were all very fast. Fortunately, the nets were not big, there were many people and fish, and the water surface was not large. Otherwise, if we had played like others in Chagan Lake, it would have taken more than 4000 or hours to cast one net. We had the right time, place and people, and in the end we caught almost kilograms of fish.
