NOVEL NEXT Chapter 22 Eat fish and be satisfied
I don’t know if it’s just good luck or the extreme weather that caused the fish to be extremely hungry for food.
Originally, it was not easy to catch fish under severe cold weather.
But the fish underneath are all as if they were reincarnated by starving ghosts. If they use insects to hook them, they will bite the hook in less than three seconds!
The three of them were playing a relay race, pulling up one after another.
There are crucian carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, herring, carp, etc. in this ice lake, and they are quite big.
For example, grass carp and herring, the big ones can weigh 20-50 kilograms, and it is very difficult to pull them up on the ice.
Mu Jiu asked everyone to throw the fish they caught directly into the snow on the shore and turn them into frozen fish. They would find a way to deal with them later.
After all, it is not easy for three people to travel over mountains and ridges.
But within an hour, hundreds of fish of various kinds were placed in the snow. The total weight was estimated to be more than 3000 kilograms.
Mu Jiu asked the brother and sister to stop fishing because the weight on the shore was enough for them to eat for several months!
If we continue fishing, it will be difficult to transport it back. After all, we still have 8 hours to walk back through the mountain road.
Before considering the issue of shipping back, there is still a very critical issue that needs to be resolved.
That’s the distribution of these fish!
Mu Jiu is now the eldest brother and sister of the Gu family, so naturally she gets whatever she says, not to mention that she still cares about these two guys' dinner.
But the Gu brothers and sisters didn't just have this dinner, they had two other meals to fill their stomachs.
Therefore, when it comes to material issues, Mu Jiu should not be too harsh.
After all, she doesn't lack for this idea of food. There is a fish pond in the space farm.
When I went abroad to buy it for zero yuan, I collected 300 tons of river fresh food alone.
After these few months of reproduction, it has grown a lot.
In short, she has absolute aquatic freedom, and she doesn't have to worry about the 3000 pounds in front of her.
Originally, this icy lake was found by the Gu family brother and sister through hard work. Even if Mu Jiu provided bait and fishing rods and lines, it would be a tie in terms of hardware.
Finally, Mu Jiu and the two brothers and sister agreed to divide the 3000 kilograms into three parts, each weighing about 1000 kilograms.
The brother and sister originally felt that their share was too much and it was inappropriate. They wanted to share it in two, one for each family of 1500 kilograms. They could not take advantage of the boss.
But Mu Jiu made the decision, so the matter was no longer controversial.
Then came the difficulty of transporting the entire 3000 kilograms back.
Mu Jiu told the two of them not to worry. Since they were all here, it was still early, so they should eat until they were full before thinking about the problem.
We were outside now, and there were no ready-made pots. Mu Jiu couldn't help but take out a three-piece steaming and stir-frying set from her bag, and finally decided to use the most primitive way - grilled fish!
After all, Mu Jiu is a person who has lived again and has rich experience in surviving the apocalypse.
She taught the Gu brothers step by step how to quickly remove fish scales, dig out fish gills, throw away fish maws, etc.
The brother and sister learned quickly and in a short time they had opened up several fish.
They followed Mu Jiu's example and picked up stronger branches, strung the fish together, and grilled them on the fire.
In a short while, the fragrant grilled fish will be ready.
Mu Jiu took out the parsley, garlic salt that she had stocked up on when she bought it for zero yuan, and sprinkled it on the broken fish. The aroma was overwhelming, and her stomach instantly growled with hunger.
When you take a bite, it is as tender and smooth as you haven't seen in a long time.
Mu Jiu liked the firmness of crucian carp meat and ate eight grilled crucian carp weighing about a pound each.
I only stopped after I brought three chicken, lettuce and rice balls, which restored my energy after working hard all night.
The Gu brother and sister each chose a large grass carp as long as an arm. After it was grilled, they pulled large pieces of meat into the bowl and tasted it carefully. In the end, only a huge fish bone was left.
They didn't stop until all three of them were satisfied.
Looking at the large pieces of frozen fish in the snow, Mu Jiu thought that maybe after opening the fish and discarding the internal organs, the burden of taking it back would be much lighter.
So the three of them got to work. Gu Yang was responsible for peeling off the fish scales, Mu Jiu was responsible for cutting open the fish belly and removing the internal organs, and Gu Nuan was responsible for cleaning the fish and packing it into the oversized nylon woven bag Mu Jiu brought for easy transportation back.
There were more than a hundred fish, and the three people gathered in front of the fire, enduring the biting cold at their fingertips and working hard.
Finally, before sunset, all the fish caught were bagged.
The fish with its internal organs removed suddenly reduced its weight by 2100%, leaving about 700 kilograms. It was divided among three people, each weighing kilograms.
There were too many fish and the target was not small. Mu Jiu decided to rush back to the hot spring resort at night.
Otherwise, when it gets daybreak, there will be more people going up the mountain, whether they are people from the housekeeping department or other resort guests, which will easily cause unnecessary trouble.
So the three of them dragged the packed fish bag by bag up the mountain and walked back along the path they came from.
For Mu Jiu, who has been drinking Lingquan water for a long time, 700 pounds is nothing, it is easy.
But it was life-threatening for the Gu brothers and sisters. As the elder brother, Gu Yang had to move with his sister Gu Nuan, which was very tiring.
I stayed awake for one day and two nights, but fortunately, I returned to the hot spring resort before dawn.
The three of them separated on the road in front of the two villas and went back to their respective homes.
There was nothing unusual at home, but a note was stuffed in the crack of the door of Mu Jiu's villa courtyard. As soon as Mu Jiu opened the door, it dropped at her feet.
Mu Jiu bent down to pick it up and looked at it, and found that it was an invitation to join a small group.
The note denounced the evil deeds of the housekeeping department and encouraged the guests living in the villa to unite and fight against the housekeeping department!
At the end of the note, it was marked that at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, a formal meeting would be held at Villa 025 in the resort.
An anti-humiliation alliance will be formed on the spot, a commander-in-chief will be elected by vote, and a mobilization meeting will be held.
If all the guests in the villa are united, there will be two to three times the butler department in terms of number of people.
In this way, there is the possibility of taking down the housekeeping department in one fell swoop.
Mu Jiu raised an eyebrow, is this really the case?
We have now entered the fifth month after the end of the world.
There are nearly 30 households and about 180 survivors of the resort's guests who were tortured by the housekeepers.
However, the relatively vulnerable elderly, children and women account for the majority, with a rough estimate of 90-100.
There are also long-term eating problems and cold weather at home, resulting in almost everyone lacking exercise and nutrition.
The body is probably like a rusty old machine that doesn't work very well. You might hear a creaking noise if you move it.
But the people in the housekeeping department are different. The food collected from various families does not make them fat and fat, but at least they have no worries about eating and drinking.
In addition, they have to go up the mountain to cut firewood and transport it down the mountain every day. The amount of activity is much greater than that of the guests, and the relative physical flexibility is much greater.
In the housekeeping department, excluding the 34 people Mu Jiu killed, there are probably 74 people left, half of whom are men and women.
Although the weapons are crushing, if all the remaining guests in the resort villa can really unite as one.
And since no one has their own calculations, there may be a possibility of giving it a try.
But the cowardice of human nature will make this ideal struggle very difficult.
