Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 70—Night Fishing

Claude was busy with the barbecue, and Verricko was staring at the three small fish-tank lanterns floating on the water while eating the roast beef skewers. He always likes to fish. When Eriksson said that he can carry out barbecue activities, he put three bait baits and threw them into the water. Then he caught four tails in just over half an hour. Lake fish. It is no wonder that the fishermen in Bailu Town think that the harvest of night fishing is comparable to a net fishing in the daytime...

Eriksson helped Claude to wear a skewer next to the barbecue shelf, and looked at the six chicken wings on the shelf that were sizzling and sizzling, and eagerly urged it. And Bok Al is very comfortable sitting on the deck with a high-bend bow, holding a bottle of blueberry wine in one hand, a fork in one hand, and a large piece of fat-fried steak on the fork.

Apply the sauce evenly to the six chicken wings with a brush. After turning them over, Crowder finally vacated one hand and said to Eriksson: "Don’t worry, it’s fine..." In the wooden tray next to it, I picked up a piece of roasted lamb and stuffed it into my mouth. I was busy for a long time, and he was hungry...

A glimpse of the three squid skin lanterns that floated gently with the waves on the lake suddenly sank and the candlelight went out. Verricko’s eyes were quick and quick, and he took a look at the fishing rod and raised it. He couldn’t help but smile: “Get the net bag, it’s big!”

The fish hooked by the hook was indeed a big fish, struggling desperately. Eriksson stood on the side of the ship with a net bag and stared at the lake. When Vericko took the big fish and approached the lake with a fishing rod. Eriksson made a lightning-like copy and put the lake fish in the net.

"It's a red-backed squid, one foot and a half long, about five or six pounds..." Eriksson confidently estimated the weight of the lake fish that was pulled to the deck and kept jumping. This red-backed squid is also one of the specialties of the Beringa Lake and is a freshwater fish. However, if the cooking is not good, there will be a smell of earthworms. Generally, the fish are made into fish pine for long-term preservation.

"Throw in the cabin, your chicken wings are good." Claude placed the roasted six chicken wings on a wooden plate next to it, and then placed a cut long-tailed fish on the grill. This is what he is going to eat himself.

Verricko slammed the red-backed squid in the net pocket, took the hook off the fish's mouth, and poured the fish into the living tank. Then he did not continue to put the bait on the hook, but washed his hands in the lake, and came over and picked up a chicken wing from the wooden plate held by Eriksson.

The barbecue of the long-nosed fish is very simple. It can be turned over two or three times, and it takes three minutes in total. Put the fish on a wooden plate, brush the salt water on both sides, and you can eat it. Claude likes this way of eating, thinking that this maintains the delicious taste of the long-tailed fish. And Verricko is a heavy taste, like to apply a variety of sauces on the fish.

Seeing that Claude is eating a long-nosed fish, Verizro has finished the chicken wings and took a stick and baked it on the barbecue shelf.

Claude asked: "Don't you look at the two small lanterns?"

The biggest problem with night fishing is that you can't see the buoy floating on the surface of the water, so the fishermen invented the fist-sized fish-shaped small lantern. Below is a small round small driftwood with lanterns made of fish skin. There is a small, slender candle in it. Connect the fish skin lanterns and the buoys together, light the candles, and put down the hooks in the bait to make it clear whether the fish in the water are hooked.

As long as the fish bites the hook, like the red-backed squid, the fish-shaped small lantern will be pulled under the water, and the fisherman will know that the fish is hooked. The small candle is waterproof and can be reused as long as it burns out.

"You don't have to look at it. The red-backed squid that was just caught is so big. The fish below has been scared away. I have to wait for a while." Verricko said while spreading the sauce to the long tail. On the knifefish.

Crowder shook his head, so the sauce covered the deliciousness of the long-tailed swordfish. It was really awkward. It was better to take a fish to bake. Picking up the blueberry wine and taking a sip, I listened to Verricko and said, "Give me some more."

So he poured a cup and handed it over, and Verricko sipped it out and screamed back: "Sweet, boring, this is the wine that the girls drink. Ike, take the bucket of rye I bought." Solve thirst."

Claude helplessly smiled, this blueberry wine is what Bock Alpha wants to buy. Last time after drinking the Ganlan wine for a half-night in Bailuzhou, Bokal finally learned the lesson and didn't dare to buy those spirits to taste, but he said that his father's friend came to the house some time ago, and his father took it out to entertain. It is blueberry wine. He stole a half cup, it tastes good, a bit sweet, the wine is not heavy and not on the head, so this time you have to buy this blueberry wine to drink enough.

Among the four partners, Bok Al's alcohol addiction is the heaviest. Everyone is only sixteen years old. At this age, at home, they don't dare to drink lightly. At most, they drink a glass of ale. However, four people have also stolen alcohol at home. The more they are banned by the family, the more they want to try. This may be the rebellious mentality of the teenager.

Claude is a passer-by and now has the ability to be self-made. Verichiro and Eriksson can drink, but they are not very interested in wine. The only exception is Bok Al, who is the lightest in his diet, but prefers to drink the most, and is drunk when he drinks. This will be the bottle of blueberry fruit wine will drink more than half, but his eyes have been blurred, it seems that staying will fall back and sleep.

Eriksson licked five chicken wings in one breath and finally satisfied his appetite. Put the bucket of rye in the cabin to open the lid, and he poured a large glass for the three.

Rye is a bit bitter, but it is very refreshing in your mouth, and it is really a good thirst. Verricko poured two cups in one breath. And Eriksson took out a small bag from the cabin where he put things and said, "I almost forgot this good thing."

"Claude, come and try."

When Claude saw it, Eriksson’s treasured bag was a round-sized finger-sized ball in the paper bag in front of him.

"what is this?"

"You taste it." Eriksson just said nothing.

Picking up one in your mouth, Crowder stunned. Isn't this the previous maltose? In the impression, the peasants dressed as peasants are carrying bamboo poles at the entrance of the school. There is a large piece of maltose on the bamboo pole. How much you want to buy will give you a knockdown. When I was young, I liked it. When I grow up, I don’t like it very much. This stuff has some sticky teeth...

"This, this is maltose..." Claude hesitated, saying that he didn't remember whether the name was still called in the world, but it seemed that Eriksson had said the last time, but he didn't pay attention.

"Well, the maltose passed by Hurian's ancestors." Seeing that Claude recognized Eriksson didn't mind, handing the paper bag to Verricko and letting him take the block and taste it: "The last time I didn't say that Hrian came back to open the groceries. Was it paved? I went to school this afternoon and looked at it. It happened that he had sold this maltose. I bought it. One piece of Finney, twenty of them cost me two Sunar. But Hurian’s coming back is really good. He used to go to the king and it hurts us that we have no maltose to eat."

Crowder was a bit curious: "What is your identity like this Hurian?"

Eriksson understood what he asked and nodded. "He is a civilian, but he is a blind man, and this year he is also fifty years old."

It turned out to be a scorpion, and the age is also more than 50. No wonder I can go to Wang Du. The average civilian has no legitimate reason to not be able to leave the country of origin. This is the most severe test for men between the ages of 18 and 40. Like Bailu Town, more and more poor people are coming to live in, most of them are landless farmers and bankrupt craftsmen in the three southwestern counties.

Bailu Town also belongs to the three southwestern counties. They have reached the farthest area where they can make a living in Bailu Town. It is not allowed to go to the east to go to the jurisdiction of the three southwestern counties. Claude didn't know it before, but after listening to his father's future arrangements, he realized that the kingdom had quotas for the recruitment of various regions during the war. These civilian men were all candidates for cannon fodder, so they could not be allowed to do so. Flowed to other places to prevent them from escaping from military service.

"Hulian was still good when he was young. I heard that it was 30 years ago. Our kingdom first entered the Nasri Kingdom. Hurian also received a call for a call. At that time, he was riding on the donkey, and he was scared. A jump fell from the scorpion, and the foot was broken by the ox cart next to it. After the cure, it became a scorpion."

Eriksson smiled and said: "Although he escaped from military service, he could not avoid the war between the kingdom and the kingdom of Nasri in the second time. It was the battle of our kingdom against the Berkeley Principality. He was a blind man, so he didn't have to be a soldier, but he was hired as a driver. He drove the carriage to supply the supply to the Berkeley Principality. He returned to be a trader one year later.

About four years ago, he said that he would go to Wang to see if he might settle there, so he went to the town office to open a road and proof of identity. However, this time I came back to see him and there was no change. In Wang, it was estimated that he did not make much money and had to come back. If you are too old, you can't go around and be a trader. This is the plan to open a grocery store at home. I went to see it. Many of his gadgets are said to have come in from Wangdu. You have to buy something for your brother and sister in the future. You can go to see him..."

"Well, I will go see it when I have time." Claude replied casually: "Do you want something?"

"No need... oh..." Verricko shook his head and said, "I am already full. Let's put it first. Maybe we will be hungry later and we will have some supper."

Eriksson picked up the fishing rod that Verikoro had just placed on the side of the ship and said, "I don't want to eat anymore. Now we still take a serious fishing."

Bocker was astonished by a bottle of blueberry wine, and his mouth was half lying on the bow and snoring. Claude used to clean up the plates and bottles around him, and covered him with a blanket to let him sleep.

Three people started fishing at night, and they had to say that Eriksson was looking for a place that was very good. The fish were fishing fast, and there were no other night fishing boats around. In four hours, four fishing rods caught fifty. The lake fish of different sizes came out, and the three people were busy enough.

It’s hard to rest, the fish is not so easy to hook, and there is a bite in ten minutes. Eriksson said that take a break, it should be almost the same, and I will change the place again. Now I have to get some hot stuff on my stomach.

Claude was too lazy to get a barbecue again, and took a hot pot directly to start cooking noodles. A large bowl of noodle soup drank, not only the stomach is comfortable, the whole body feels warm.

Verricko slouched the last fishing rod that was still fishing. The hook was a lake fish that was struggling with the slap in the palm: "Let's go to the net, it will be up for a long time, and it will be finished. I can put another net and pull it again tomorrow morning. Now the candle in the small fish lantern is running out, and there are four or five left. Let’s have a fishing rod to play at night. If it is night fishing, then four. The root fishing rod is used in less than half an hour."

Eriksson thought and nodded and agreed: "Well, just do what you said. I have been tired for a long time in the night fishing. I also slept for a while after the net."

So Claude packed up the decking utensils and returned the ingredients to the cabin. The three men sailed to the fence.

However, there are not many harvests in the fence. This time there are only a dozen fish. Claude thought it was not as busy as the night fishing.

It’s very tiring to get out of the net. When I’m done, Eriksson’s hate on the deck of the ship looking at the bow of the ship’s head, said that I really want to kick this guy off the boat. Busy can't help!
