Warring States Eagle

Chapter 14 Preliminary Development of Territory

After the fishing net is made, then you have to consider the problem of fishing there.

Onishi Guozhi chose the lake between the former Xiaomu Village and Daxi Village as the test site.Because this lake is located at the confluence of several small streams, the residents often see big fish swimming by the lake, but due to limited means, they have not been able to catch too many fish.

Since Onishi Kuniji was not familiar with this novel fishing method, the command was returned to Roshi Masara.According to the memories of later generations, Luo Shizhengliang first let several bamboo rafts carry fishing nets into the water, and one end of the fishing nets was dragged on the shore. After 30 meters away from the shore, the nets began to be lowered. Bamboo rafts gradually pulled the fishing net closer to the shore on the other side.

When the fishing net reaches the shore, the residents on the shore began to drag the fishing net toward the shore at both ends. Six bamboo rafts guarded the water surface on both sides respectively, and were responsible for closing the gaps on both sides when the fishing net came to the side.The rest of the bamboo rafts slowly move closer to the shore along with the fishing nets.

When the two ends of the fishing net were dragged ashore and the gaps on both sides were sealed, the surface of the water surrounded by the fishing net was still calm.When the fishing net kept closing and the surrounding water surface kept shrinking, the water surface began to splash. From time to time, some big fish jumped out of the water and rolled into the water.

This situation attracted the attention of everyone around, and even the local people who were cultivating fields and picking wild vegetables gathered here one after another. As more and more big fish jumped out of the water, bursts of cheers and cheers came from the crowd .

As the fishing net tightened again, the water surface surrounded by the fishing net shrunk again, the water depth became shallower and shallower, and the splashes in the water became more and more intense. In order to prevent the big fish from jumping out of the net, Luo Shizhengliang hurriedly let him still stand on the bamboo raft but The citizens who were stupefied by the scene in front of them lifted the fishing nets in sections.

Finally, the net is closed.A piece of white flowers in the fishing net.Due to the relatively large size of the grid, most of the fish entering the net are big fish weighing more than three or four catties, or even tens of catties.

The people behind were erupting, and some even burst into tears with excitement.This cannot be blamed on them, after all, they have never experienced such a bumper harvest before.At the same time, the eyes they looked at the lord became more reverent, and some people completely believed that this was a blessing brought to everyone by the lord, who was an envoy of God, and that this was a miracle used by the lord.Later, some people have even started to enshrine the statue of the lord (a simple statue made of wood by hand) in their own homes.

In this experiment, a total of nearly 500 kilograms (25 stone) of large fish were caught.Luo Shizhengliang immediately announced that a fish feast would be held at noon that day, and everyone in the territory could participate.

At noon, the citizens took out their cooking tools one after another, sat around dozens of fires spontaneously, cleaned the fish, and then put the miscellaneous grains just distributed by the fish lord into the "pot" and put them on a temporary shelf. Put it on the made fire and start cooking.Soon, the smell of fish meat and fish soup wafted in the territory.Everyone is excited.Even Togo Heiji did not complain this time because of the "prodigal" behavior of the lord who temporarily distributed the grain reserves.At this time, he was sitting by the fire while tasting the fish and talking with the lord. <No Sakura and daughter Togo Kiku; Onishi Kuniji's wife Tsukihime and son Chujiro (Onishi Kuniharu's eldest son was killed in a bandit raid); and finally Masara's maid Matsumiko.These people surrounded the city.

On Roshi Masara's side were Togo Heiji, Onishi Kuniji, Tsuda Hiromune, and a little koala that depended on Roshi Masara -- Tamiko.Why is the little girl so reluctant to go back to Matsumiko?Yes, it's for food again.

As an otaku, Luo Shizhengliang's descendants often cook by themselves, so their cooking skills are not bad, especially in this era, they are even considered superb.Although these fish have been processed by Matsumiko and the others, the fishy smell is still very strong, so Masara Roshi used wild ginger that he accidentally discovered during a territory inspection (Ri already had ginger at this time, but Not many people know its function), plus some wild vegetables, made several steamed water fish.In addition, several grilled fish were also grilled.

The little girl came here with Matsumiko and Ju Ji.Matsumiko returned to her fire after preparing everything for Masara Roshi, and even Kikuhime returned with a blushing face (it seems that she is still not used to performing her duties as a wife in public).The little girl was very curious when she saw Luo Shi Zhengliang cooking some strange dishes, so she stayed. In fact, she had already decided in her mind that as long as she saw this big brother, there must be something delicious.After taking a bite of the fish, the little girl was unwilling to leave anyway, and slurred something to Luo Shi Zhengliang while eating the fish. Luo Shi Zhengliang didn't hear clearly at all, and it was probably some praise for the fish. If you eat.Since the fish meat was still hot and there were many bone spurs, Luo Shizhengliang quickly asked the little girl to eat slowly. A few crystal clear tears welled up in the eyes.

Looking at the little girl hanging beside her, she was wearing a gray and old light red kimono. It is said that this is the most beautiful piece of clothing for the little girl, and she would not wear it normally, only on special occasions. Today I heard that there is a lot of fish to eat, so I dressed it up with the help of Matsumiko.A pair of thin hands with slightly shallow scars (this is a new scar, cut when she followed Matsumiko to pull weeds), is grabbing fish and stuffing it into her mouth at the moment.On the two little feet that were still covered with mud, several obvious scars could be seen on them, which were wounds that had been cracked by frost in winter.

Hugging the little girl into his arms, he fiddled with a few pieces of grilled fish to cool it down as quickly as possible, while watching the little girl gobbling it up, Luo Shi Zhengliang suddenly felt a sense of happiness, perhaps the responsibility of being a lord would also be a kind of happiness experience.

Togo Heiji and Onishi Kuniji were also savoring the delicacy in front of them.After all, it is such a novel way of eating fish, and it is also delicious made by the lord himself, so it really tastes special.Looking at Tsuda Guangzong again, Masara Roshi laughed for a while. This guy was grabbing a big fish with both hands and chewing it, without any scruples about the etiquette in front of the lord.On the other hand, Dongxiang Heiji couldn't stand it anymore, and blamed Tsuda Guangzong with his eyes several times.But Tsuda Hiromune has completely turned into a foodie, facing Togo Heiji's gestures, he didn't even raise his eyebrows, and continued his own binge-eating business.Seeing the diametrically opposed expressions of the two, Zheng Liang was really amused.

During the meal, Luo Shizhengliang discussed with several people how to deal with the remaining big fish.Luo Shizhengliang originally planned to use dense bamboo poles to enclose a section of water in a nearby shallow stream for stocking these fish, but later he was worried that heavy rain would increase the water level of the stream and cause a large number of these fish to get lost and gave up.In fact, the rain here is indeed relatively sufficient, and there have been several heavy rains during the past half month.

Later, Luo Shizhengliang thought of using bamboo sticks to make fish crates to raise fish in captivity by the river.Dongxiang Heiji and the others were stunned when they heard it. It turned out that they didn't know what a fish basket was.After explaining to them for a long time, Luo Shizhengliang confirmed depressedly that no one in the territory would compile these things.Luo Shizhengliang himself doesn't know how, although he has seen it on TV in his previous life, he is not omnipotent after all.So the idea was eventually dropped as well.

After repeated discussions, the remaining big fish were finally dealt with as follows.Firstly, each household will send 2 big fish, which will be handled by the residents themselves; secondly, some big fish will be pickled with salt after cleaning, but there is not much salt in the territory at present, so the pickled fish is only a small part; finally, the remaining The fish is uniformly dried and preserved as a food reserve for this winter.As for the fish guts left after cleaning up the big fish, some of them were distributed to the local people according to their wishes, and the other part was used as fertilizer and buried deep under the corn field of Luo Shizhenliang.

The fish banquet lasted for nearly 3 hours. In the second half of the banquet, the leaders spontaneously organized singing and dancing activities.Togo Heiji said with deep emotion that the citizens were really happy, and this usually happens during the Obon Festival (known as the "Ghost Festival" in China).The Obon Festival commemorates the story of Mulian saving his mother in the Buddhist scriptures. It was originally intended to encourage filial piety. When it arrived in Japan, it became a festival for carnival for some reason.On the day of the festival, all the samurai and farmers put down their weapons and farm tools and joined the singing and dancing.At night, bonfires are set up everywhere, and people continue to drink, sing and dance around the bonfire, and the carnival doesn't end until morning.

At the end of the banquet, the citizens took the two big fish that the lord had just sent to them, and dragged their families to Luo Shi Zhengliang to bow and salute. Be grateful.

Since then, under the instruction of Luo Shizhenliang, Onishi Guozhi has organized such large-scale fishing activities every once in a while (after all, it cannot be too frequent, how to preserve too many fish at once will also be a problem, and frequent fishing will resulting in a rapid reduction of big fish), the meat of the territory has been greatly improved.The work enthusiasm of the citizens has also been greatly improved, and the speed of field reclamation has also been greatly accelerated.
