The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 105 Catching Big Fish

A few days passed, and the weather gradually became gloomy. A gust of rain came later in the day. Bean-sized raindrops pierced through the thick clouds and hit the roof cracklingly. Lines of rain under the eaves formed A curtain of water hit the impetuous ground, the small courtyard in front of the door, and the green plants outside the window quickly became blurred, and the dense water vapor was confusing.

This summer's heavy rain came and went quickly, the heat left and the coolness came, only the broken branches and leaves on the ground were sad, and the lotus on Yueya Lake was also inexplicably affected for a while. The green lotus broke its stem, turned over, and was covered in the water.

It's just that the soaring water of the lake has been soaked on the embankment, and it will not fall for a while. A few big fish, unwilling to be lonely, took the opportunity to slip onto the embankment. They wanted to breathe and see the strange world. Unexpectedly However, he was targeted by a student who hadn't seen him for a long time, and a mermaid chasing battle was staged by the Yueya Lake.

Muddy shallow water, noisy white clothes, more than a dozen students, formed a human formation, rounded up the few big fish in the water, and the big fish lost their heads after being frightened, and fled aimlessly.

People chasing, fish fleeing, the water is very lively, and the shore is even more lively, attracting dozens of students to watch. They don't know how to swim, but they don't lack the enthusiasm to participate. .

Xiao Qinzhi and Xu Miao were standing in front of the thatched cottage, they were also very energetic, the Zhao brothers were eager to try those big fish, but they came from the Northwest, they were born far away from the water, and they were not good at swimming, so they could only stare blankly.

When it comes to catching fish in the water, it depends on the southerners. No, there are a few southern students who couldn't help being bewitched by greedy stomachs and left the battlefield.

Xu Miao withdrew his eyes from the water, looked sideways, Xiao Qinzhi had already rolled up his sleeves, took off his shoes and socks, and asked in surprise, "Brother Qin, what is this?"

"Catching fish, isn't this an obvious thing?" Xiao Qinzhi lowered his head and responded, bowing his body, with his robe and trousers rolled up to his knees.

"How can this be done? Stop quickly." Xu Miao immediately bowed and whispered in his ear: "You are a scholar, you must pay attention to your image, how can you go into the water to catch fish, if you want to eat fish, just buy it. Also, Mr. Balang and Zhao Yunlong have made such a big move in the past few days. In the evening, they had a big gamble with several gambling houses. I heard from Yunlong that the bet amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars. "

"You don't need to go, so you don't get exposed, but it's only a few hundred thousand dollars. Brother Xianmin, think about it, these hundreds of thousands of dollars are nothing more than a drop in the bucket to the Zhao family. Their family lacks everything, except money." Xiao Qin He said in a dark voice. Seeing that everyone was watching the excitement outside, he led Xu Miao into the thatched cottage, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about Brother Yunfei, just talk about Zhao Yunlong. It's too early for nothing, this kid Chicken thief, brother Xianmin, think about what I said again."

"Did he fall in love with "clear tea"?" Xu Miao suddenly realized, and after careful consideration, he felt that it was not easy, and murmured: "Yes, yes, even if your family produces tea, there is absolutely no reason to sell it yourself. Someone needs to sell it for your family, and 'Qingming Tea' is so popular, and it is close to Sanwu, the profit is huge."

"Let me tell you, as soon as your boss came, this kid took the initiative to post it, so it was his idea." Xu Miao said in amazement.

"Hmph, that's more than that! The Zhao family sells silk cloth and silk from Sanwu to Jiankang and the north to make a profit. The distance is long and the freight is high, so the profit is thin. And 'Qingming Tea' currently has five large-scale The planting is just north of Jinling, next to Sanwu, and the freight alone can save a huge sum of money. Not to mention, the Zhao family was bullied by the southerners in Wujun, so they can use this to move their family to Jinling and integrate into the north. People. There are people from the north of Jinling to take care of them, who dares to bully them?"

After Xiao Qinzhi analyzed them one by one, he asked Xu Miao again, and said with a smile: "Brother Xianmin, think about it now, should Zhao's hundreds of thousands of dollars be spent?"

"It's a flower, and it's a huge bargain." Xu Miao squinted his eyes and said softly: "It turned out that I underestimated Yunlong. I didn't realize it, and his mind is not ordinary. It seems that it is right for Brother Yunfei to switch to literature. Smart move."

Suddenly, Xu Miao thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he whispered: "In this case, the money we need for the follow-up will be settled, why not? Besides, if all the money is taken from Zhang Yong and He Sun, it will easily intensify. Contradictory, unfavorable."

Xiao Qinzhi shook his head and said: "It's not suitable to talk here, let's talk in detail at night, let's catch the fish first." Listening to the noise outside the thatched cottage, Xiao Qinzhi felt his heart itch, fighting with the fish, comparing with the fish. Human combat is much more interesting.

"Aren't you going?" Xu Miao was still insisting, he really didn't want Xiao Qinzhi to do something worthless, going into the water to fish, which was a vulgar thing in Xu Miao's inherent impression.

Confucianism, emphasizing etiquette, the way of a gentleman, righteousness, Confucianism governing the world, fishing in the water, what the hell is it?

"Hahaha" Xiao Qinzhi walked out with a big laugh, without explaining, knowing that beauty is beauty is beauty, he rushed into the water rumblingly, causing the surrounding students to shout loudly, among them, those who were surprised, surprised, and scorned There are those who are happy, those who are delighted, and those who admire.

After all, it is a controversial matter for the children of the gentry to go into the water to catch fish.

In the past, in the Xiao's manor, Xiao Qinzhi, the fat old man, Xiao Shu and other people would never get tired of doing things like fishing in the water, which makes perfect.

Every year during the rainy season, which lasts for a month, if there is too much rainfall, the water in Fengqi Lake will overflow the embankment and reach the farmland. At this time, the tenants will build ridges to drain water. It is full of stranded fish, there are countless big and small fish, and the hands are soft when caught.

There is skill in catching fish. Fish in the water are extremely flexible, and their mucus is very slippery. They cannot be caught by brute force. Especially for big fish, it is useless to grab the body or tail.

Xiao Qinzhi's legs were stuck in the muddy water, and the fish came quietly, seeing the opportunity, a fierce tiger pounced on it, stirring up a large piece of water. He made a plan, rushed to the embankment, and was struggling fiercely.

Xiao Qinzhi's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. He clasped the gills of the fish tightly with both hands, and he must not grab the body. After a few rounds, the fish lost strength and could be collected. It was a fat big grass carp, weighing at least five catties.

It's amazing, Xiao Qinzhi caught a big fish not long after he went down, and the dozen or so people chased it for so long before they caught a bad fish.

"Xiao Langjun is really good at it!"

"Not only is the poem good, but the fish is also good."

"It really opened my eyes."

Different people will have different thoughts after listening to the words above. Xu Miao felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, but Xiao Qinzhi didn't care. Holding the spoils of war, he replied loudly:

"360 lines, every line is the leader, the leader of the fish catching business, I will be the leader today. Haha——"
