The ice on the river surface is very solid, and it is made this way. Only some cracks appear at the entrance of the cave. When you pour some water, it freezes again immediately.

The two found a place on the shore and prepared to fish.

Xiao Jing quickly cleaned up a place and began to take things out of the storage container. Simple tent, iron stove, small stool, deerskin mat, kettle...

Qi Zhen silently looked at the items in her storage container, compared them, and completely stopped thinking about taking them out. I was planning to help, but I didn't intervene.

She looked at Xiao Jing suspiciously, no matter how she looked at him, it was intentional.

Xiao Jing secretly sweated, he would be stupid to miss such a good opportunity to perform.

The two are guessing each other's little thoughts here, and they are doing a good job of tinkering with the fishing net over there.

Before Xiao Jian and the others could figure out what to do next, they saw the smoke coming from the cooking pots by the river, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

As soon as I got close to the tent, I felt a rush of hot air, holy shit! These two people really know how to enjoy it!

The stove in the tent was burning red, making a beep-beep-beep sound. The teapot on the stove was steaming, and the sweet smell of fruit tea filled the entire tent.

The small table is filled with all kinds of snacks, as well as rare fresh fruits, which makes your mouth water.

If only I could have a bite...

Suddenly, a cold voice broke his fantasy, "What are you doing here?"

"Eat... ahem, here to help." Xiao Jian was immediately excited. Oh my god, he almost competed with the pregnant woman for food. It was so tasteless.

Perhaps he felt that he was not embarrassed enough. The disgust on Xiao Jing's face was very obvious, and his eyes were bright and told him, do we need it?

Xiao Jian turned his eyes to the river and almost cried. There are two identical ice holes on the river, and two fishing rods specially made by the weapon refiner are stuck in each. The fishing rods are mounted on solid wooden forks.

In this way, you don't have to keep watch all the time. When you see the fishing rod moving, you can just come out of the tent and get it.

It's not that they don't know how to do it, it's just that they are impatient to smash a few more holes in the ice.

Wait, isn't there someone ready in front of me? It's just that the rank is a bit high, so it's hard to handle. A few of them pushed me and I hit you. After a while of fighting, they all got together to whisper, and finally Xiao Jian talked to his cousin.

The temperature of the tent was high and Qi Zhen was drowsy when she was amused by the funny looks of these people.

Seeing her cheerful look, Xiao Jing didn't think these fools were embarrassed and allowed them to be stupid.

Qi Zhen held her cheek with her hands and watched the excitement. When negotiating with Xiao Jing, I am afraid that I will lose in the end and even lose my pants.

Oh, the rest is left, Xiao Jing doesn’t like it.

Not to mention the snacks at the corner of the tent, she doubted whether these people would be able to eat fish today. No, not today, and we may not be able to eat in the next few days.

All because the ice cave Xiao Jing made was charged on a daily basis. That's right, the ownership of the ice cave belongs to Xiao Jing. Xiao Jian and the others cannot buy it out, they can only rent it.

She would definitely not agree to this condition. Drilling the ice cave would only take a little effort today. As long as the location is not changed later, there is no need to dig it again.

Perhaps this is a special way for them to express their brotherly love?

Suddenly, Qi Zhen saw the fishing rod moving from the corner of her eye. She immediately rolled up the fishing rod with a snake vine and threw it on the snow aside.

A fish as short as an arm drew an arc in the air. When it landed, it was instantly frozen, with its body still bowed.

Qizhen picked the fish into a basin, took it back to the tent, and placed it a little away from the stove, letting it slowly melt.

Then he took out a piece of diced meat from the can, inserted it into the fishhook, and then put the fishing rod back in place.

At this time, Xiao Jing's fishing rod also moved. Being so close, her powers were useless. She just used the portable pole and found that what she was hooking was river shrimp.

River shrimps are very big, as long as a palm, and they are so plump that they look like meat at first glance. Put the frozen river shrimp into another basin and replace the bait with fish. Only then can you have time to observe the fish.

It looks a bit like a catfish, round in front and flattened in the back, with very small scales. The whole body is off-white.

This fish is the same as the mutated white-spotted pike. Its meat is tender and delicate, its tendons have few spines, and the soup it makes is particularly delicious. It has very high nutritional value and is very popular among people with supernatural powers.

What he thought came to him, and soon Qi Zhen, no, it was Xiao Jing's fishing rod that successfully caught a mutant white-spotted pike, weighing six kilograms. Save some food, it can be divided into two meals.

Qi Zhen's own fishing rod made no movement this time. She poked her head out of the tent several times. She even couldn't wait and ran out to pick up the fishing rod and check it out. The bait was completely hung on the hook, obviously not being patronized.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Jing finally brought back a fish. It’s not very big, about two or three pounds, but something is better than nothing.

What about her good luck? She was the first to catch a fish.       …Okay, she doesn’t insist on catching fish, she would be satisfied with a river shrimp instead.

Half an hour later, I did catch a river shrimp. I threw it into the basin. It was more than twice the size of the one Xiao Jing caught.

Uh, her luck...looking absently at the place Xiao Jian and the others chose. We also set up a tent. There was no iron stove, so we set up a simple stove in front of the tent. There was an iron pot on top of the stove, which was heating hot water.

Several people were gathering around the stove to warm themselves over the fire.

Qi Zhen looked at her fishing rod and said in frustration, "You can watch it for me. I'll go for a walk."

"Okay." Xiao Jing was cleaning the melted fish, "Will we use local ingredients for lunch?"

"Eat the biggest pike."

"Okay, half baked and half soup?"

"can."

"Are the two river shrimps grilled too?" Xiao Jing hesitated and asked.

...It was a bit heart-wrenching, so forget it, out of sight, out of mind, and said in frustration, "Let's bake it."

Qi Zhen came out of the tent, looked around and found that there were not many acquaintances, and the only place she could go was Xiao Jian's place.

I just wanted to ask them about their fishing.

However, within half an hour she came back with a smile on her face. I ran to take a look at my harvest first, and my smile became even more obvious.

Xiao Jing has already boiled the fish soup and is now skewering the ingredients. In addition to fish and shrimp, we also cut up the meat of the horned beast, and vegetables include bell peppers and eggplants, a few broccoli flowers, two small pieces of corn, and a few slices of sweet potatoes.

I also specially prepared a plate of white sugar tomatoes.

The vegetables are all harvested from their own fields. Vegetables do not grow well in winter, so Qi Zhen is reluctant to eat them on weekdays.

Xiao Jing ate even less.

Today's meal was particularly rich, and Qi Zhen's greed was aroused. She couldn't help but swallowed, "I'll help you skewer it."

"No, the charcoal in the oven has already been burned. You put the skewered ingredients first, and watch carefully so that they don't burn."

"Uh-huh."

Xiao Jing skewered the ingredients and the two sat next to the oven to bake and eat.

"You were so happy just now?" Xiao Jing asked curiously.

"Do you think Xiao Jian and the others caught any fish?" After asking, Qi Zhen didn't forget to poke her head out of the tent opening to take a look at the faces of several people, which seemed even worse.

Didn’t catch it or still smell their scent? Would she like to send one or two over? There wasn’t enough to eat, not to mention they didn’t have much and couldn’t bear to part with it.

"You asked that, the answer can only be that it didn't fall."

"Well, I thought I was unlucky enough." I didn't expect anyone to be worse than her. "How about today's rent is waived?"

"We'll see in the evening." Xiao Jing thought for a while, "I'll give them some fish soup later."

"Okay!" Qi Zhen agreed happily. The fish is saved, cough cough...

Xiao Jian and his friends almost cried when they drank the delicious fish soup sent by their cousin. After working all morning, I didn't even see a river shrimp. It was so pitiful.

"Brother, do you have something to say about this ice cave?"

Xiao Jing directly gave him a cold shoulder, "Then light three incense sticks and say goodbye sooner or later!"

"..." He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

Xiao Jing turned around and left. Damn, I feel like fish soup is for dogs. No, the rent will be increased tomorrow!
