Chapter 94 (1/2)
After the crocodiles retreated, ye Xi cast his net several times. Seeing that the number of fish on the bank became scarce, he asked everyone to carry the casks and go back first.
There are four barrels of fish harvested this time, which is enough. There is no need to fish out.
The people happily carried the catch back to the top of the mountain, discussing whether to eat all the fish.
In fact, despite the fact that there are so many fish in four barrels, so many people in the tribe can eat them in one day. Not to mention the soldiers eat a lot of food, really open stomach to eat, maybe those ordinary people have not scored.
However, they are used to saving all food in rainy season. They only eat one meal a day, so as to avoid starvation in the late rainy season.
But the fish is not easy to preserve. The dead fish will go bad after a day or two. And now there is no sun, and the fish can't be dried in the sun. They were reluctant to eat the piranha that had once been fished, but when they ate it again when it smelled off, they even had diarrhea and even got sick.
Hearing their discussion, ye Xi advised: ”it's better to eat all today's fish, and tomorrow the fish will come again.”
but there are still people who are frugal and hesitant.
Seeing their appearance, ye Xi laughed: ”if you are really reluctant to eat them all, in this way, I have a way to save the fish.”
”What is it?”
As soon as their eyes lit up, they asked eagerly.
Ye Xi always had a variety of ways to help the tribe solve a problem that could not be solved.
Up to now, they have no doubt about any proposal of Ye Xi, because no matter how strange the method seems, it can always achieve the goal in the end.
Ye Xi pointed to the stone jar placed in front of each stone house: ”can't you put the fish that can't be eaten into the jar?”
These large water tanks have been full of water because of the continuous rain these days, and constantly overflow with the rain water falling into the tanks.
When ye Xi reminded them of this, they suddenly realized. Yes, fish will die when they are out of water. If you put them back in the water, it will be OK?
The reason why they didn't think of it, of course, is that stupid is one reason. Another reason is that there were not so many fish harvested in the past, so we didn't pay much attention to this problem.
Ye Xi saw that everyone was about to pour fish into the water tank when they were carrying the bucket. He reminded him, ”don't pour all the fish in. The big fish will eat all the small fish.”
Don't think that only piranhas eat meat. Most of the fish eat meat, from small fish to shrimp, from water bugs to the bodies of large animals.
Even if you are hungry, you can eat it.
Since we want to keep it in a tank, we should try our best to avoid the loss, so as to avoid the less fish. The best way is to get rid of the most powerful fish.
After ye Xi reminded him of this, people knew it.
Without Ye Xi's help to judge, others can distinguish by themselves.
One by one, we can tell. The biggest fish will stay in the bucket directly. The smaller one will open its teeth to see its teeth. The fish with extremely sharp teeth will stay in the bucket.
The water in the stone jar was clear, and one fish after another was thrown into it.
Even if these fish are short of water for such a long time, they are still alive and kicking. If they are not careful, they will slide away from their hands. As soon as the water is put into the water, they will swing their tails and swim around actively.
These catches were mainly caught by Ye Xi. Of course, he got the most of them, almost half of them.
Originally, they wanted to help Ye Xi sort out the fish, but ye Xi stopped them: ”no, there will be new fish caught tomorrow. The water tank is so big that we can't raise them at that time. It's better to eat them now and let us eat enough.”
He thought that what ye Xi said was reasonable. Other people simply put aside their scruples and didn't let their part of the fish into the water tank. They had a good time together.
Since then, ye Xi has been fishing in seven or eight nets every day. Because the number of times is more than one, the fish in the water will be scarce, and the next day, there will be more fish on the shore.
Over the past few days, more and more fish have been caught in the stone jar, and soon more and more fish are overflowing. There is no room for fish to swim inside. There are often fish hopping in the water and jumping out of the tank.
And every day there is a steady stream of fish coming up from the foot of the mountain.
The people of the tribe are very regretful, because there are more than 50 stone VATS in the tribe, but only about 20 have been moved up. If they knew that the stone VATS were so useful, they moved more.
Now there are so many fish, even if the people who save money can't save any more.
If you don't eat fish, it will be bad. If you have to, you can only have a good meal and change your pattern to eat fish every day. We eat grilled fish today, steamed fish tomorrow, fried fish in oil the day after tomorrow.
However, the fish here are really delicious. The meat is fresh and tender. There is a kind of fat yellow skin fish, which is especially delicious. It tastes so fresh that you can swallow your tongue, and there are few thorns. You don't have to go to pick it.
Every day is a big meal of fish. Even though ye Xi loved to eat fish, he was tired of eating it later. Sometimes he changed his meat jerky to chew.But other people are not greasy at all. They still eat happily every day. Before they start eating, they are eager to wait. Moreover, they eat very clean every time, even the meat in the fish head is not let go.
Everyone said that the rainy season seems to have never been so tasteful. I can't dream of being able to eat full suddenly without being hungry. I feel that my stomach is full of fat.
Even if you are stuck on the top of the mountain by the flood, you can't go anywhere.
Sometimes the snails with beautiful shells are arrested and women are reluctant to throw them away. After eating the meat inside, they put the shells in the house.
Ye Xi saw that they were like this, so he said that they could string these large and small shells into wind chimes.
Women's eyes brightened when they heard Ye Xi's words.
Perhaps women have a natural instinct for beauty, and the wind chimes made later are very beautiful even in Ye Xi's eyes.
In the daytime, the stone slabs are removed. When the wind blows into the house, the shells make a crisp sound, which is very pleasant to hear.
