There's no rush to release the water; you can't harvest all the fish in the rice field at once.
Jiang Hu only released water from three acres of fields, yet they've already harvested over a thousand pounds of fish, filling two large tubs. Those tubs used for threshing during rice harvest, when lined with oilcloth and filled with water, turn into small fish ponds.
Yang Shulin truly came to help, just like he said he would. Not only did he help catch fish, but he also took several tubs of fish back home.
Most of the fish were slightly longer than chopsticks, while the smallest were carp.
Carp can breed naturally; it's clear that during their time in the fields, they laid eggs, with the smallest being only two inches long.
The best way to eat these small carp is to coat them in flour and fry them directly, making them crispy and crunchy.
