Views:

Claude was busy grilling, while Vericro was eating grilled beef skewers while staring at the three fish skin lanterns floating on the water. He has always loved fishing. When Ericson said he could hold a barbecue, he put the bait on three fishing rods and threw them into the water. Then he caught four different lake fish in just over half an hour. . No wonder the fishermen in Bailu Town believe that the harvest of night fishing is as good as that of fishing during the day.

Ericson was helping Claude thread the meat skewers next to the barbecue rack. He was looking at the six chicken wings on the rack that were grilling sizzling and fragrant, and he was eagerly urging them to see if they were ready. Bockaar, on the other hand, was sitting comfortably on the deck leaning against the high-curving bow of the ship, holding a bottle of blueberry fruit wine in one hand and a fork in the other. On the fork was a large piece of tender grilled steak.

Use a brush to spread the sauce evenly on the six chicken wings. After turning them over, Claude finally had a hand free and said to Erikson: "Don't worry, it will be ready soon." He picked up a piece of roasted mutton from the wooden plate and stuffed it into his mouth. After working for a long time, he was also starving.

One of the three fish-skin lanterns floating gently with the waves on the lake suddenly sank, and the candle went out. Viricero was eager and quick, so he picked up the fishing rod and lifted it up. He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Bring me your bag quickly, it's a big one."

The fish caught by the fishhook was indeed a big fish. It was struggling desperately. Ericson stood on the side of the boat with his pocket in his hand and stared at the lake. Just as Viricero used the fishing rod to pull the big fish close to the lake. , Erikson made a lightning-fast move and caught the lake fish in his pocket.

"It's a red-backed blue-scaled fish, one and a half feet long, and weighs about five or six kilograms." Ericson estimated the weight of this lake fish that was still jumping after being pulled to the deck with confidence. This kind of The red-backed green-scaled fish is also one of the specialties of Lake Beringa and is a freshwater fish. However, if it is not cooked well, it will have an earthy smell. Generally, this kind of fish is made into fish floss for long-term preservation.

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

Viricero stepped on the red-backed bluefish in his pocket, took the hook out of the fish's mouth, and then poured the fish into the live water tank. Then he did not continue to put bait on the hook, but washed his hands in the lake water, came over and took a chicken wing from the wooden plate held by Ericson and started to chew it.

Grilling long-tail saury is very simple, just turn it over two or three times, and it only takes three minutes in total. Put the fish on a wooden plate, brush both sides with salt water, and it's ready to eat. Claude likes this way of eating, thinking that it maintains the delicious taste of long-tail saury. Viricero, on the other hand, has a strong taste and likes to smear various sauces on fish.

Seeing Claude eating long-tail saury, Viricero finished eating the chicken wings and took one and grilled it on the barbecue rack.

Claude asked: "Don't you look at those two lanterns anymore?"

The biggest problem of night fishing is that the buoys floating on the water cannot be clearly seen, so fishermen invented this kind of fish skin lantern as big as a fist. The bottom is a round piece of driftwood, and the top is a lantern made of fish skin with a root inserted inside. Slender candle. Connect the fish skin lantern to the buoy, light the candle, and lower the hook in the bait to know whether the fish underwater has bitten the hook.

As long as the fish bites the hook, it will pull the fish skin lantern under the water just like the red-backed green-scaled fish. As soon as the candlelight goes out, the fishermen will know that the fish has taken the bait. Candles are waterproof and can be reused as long as they burn out.

"Don't look at it. The red-backed green-scaled fish I just caught is so big that any fish below it have been scared away long ago. We have to wait and see." Verricro said as he smeared the sauce on the long tail. On the knife fish.

Claude shook his head. The sauce covered up the deliciousness of the long-tail saury. It was really a waste. It would be better to just grill the fish. After picking up the blueberry fruit wine and taking a sip, Viricero said, "Give me some too."

So he poured him a glass and handed it over. Viricero drank it all in one gulp and replied with a slurp: "It's too sweet and boring. This is the wine for women. Ike, bring up the barrel of rye I bought." Quench your thirst.”

Claude smiled helplessly, this blueberry fruit wine was what Bock Al insisted on buying. The last time I drank that Ganlan wine in Bailuzhou
