Siheyuan: I really don't want to time travel

Chapter 17 Great Harvest, Selling Fish, Giving Fish
The winter in Sijiu City is really very cold, Wang Yue feels that it is much colder than the winter in later generations.

He tightened his coat and put on his hat, but he still felt cold.

It's like living in an ice age.

The cold wind was blowing, and it was extremely cold. Wang Yue was carrying an iron bucket and a fishing rod made of bamboo in his hand. He bought these things from the exchange mall.

Not only that, but among the iron buckets he carried, there was also a hoe specially used to break ice.

Yes, he went out at noon just to fish.

Because there is no bicycle, Wang Yue can only go out of the alley first, and then take the bus out of the city.

After almost an hour, Wang Yue finally arrived at Yongding River.

The Yongding River is the largest river flowing through the Gyeonggi area and the largest tributary of the Haihe River system.

There are five major river systems around Sijiu City, namely the Daqing River system in the south, the Yongding River system in the west and central-south, the Wenyu River-Beiyun River system in the central and southeast, the Chaobai River system in the northeast and east, and the Ji River system in the east. Canal water system.

And the nearest, besides the moat, is the Yongding River.

And here, in this era, there are abundant fishery resources, and it is also the most convenient place for fishing in Sijiu City.

On the river bank again, Wang Yue saw that the entire river had been frozen, and there were still many people fishing on the ice.

"The ice is at least forty centimeters thick, so it should be safe."

Wang Yue observed the shape of the river, and found a rather curved bend, which is shaped like a figure-eight, and there should be fish gathering.

He did what he said, and after a lot of effort, he finally cut an ice hole about [-] centimeters in diameter in the ice layer. After a rough estimate, the ice layer was at least [-] centimeters thick.

He took a little water, fermented the bait bought from the exchange mall, and then threw another piece of bait about the size of a fist into the water.

Just one minute after dropping it, Wang Yue saw a white thing appear about two or three meters below.

"Sure enough, there are fish!"

Before crossing, Wang Yue was also a lover of fishing. During the epidemic, he often drove to other provinces to go fishing, so how could he not know that those white things are the white scales on the belly of fish?

Because the weather was cold, he put the bait in a bag in his pocket, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use it for a while.

Just as he dropped the hook, suddenly, a strong force came from the fishing line.

"Catch the fish!"

Wang Yue was overjoyed, and immediately held the fishing rod tightly, although the fishing rod looked very fragile, as if it would be pulled off immediately.

But Wang Yue knew that good stuff was added to this fishing rod. It not only had good toughness, but he had read the introduction and said that as long as the fish weighing no more than 100 kilograms, it would not be possible to break this fishing rod.

In this way, Wang Yue held the fishing rod tightly and persisted for about ten minutes. He felt his body heat up, and only then did he catch a fish weighing about 8 catties.

"hiss!"

Wang Yue's eyes lit up when he saw this fish. It was a grass carp, and it was very fat.

"Not bad!"

Wang Yue took off the fishhook, threw it on the ice, and then tied it with another line.

Not long after he threw the second shot, the grass carp on the ice had been frozen into popsicles and hard.

As for why he didn't put it in the bucket, the reason is also very simple, that is, the bucket is not big, if it were put in the bucket, it probably wouldn't be able to hold two more.

After another ten minutes or so, the second fish was hooked. This time the fish was relatively small, and the fishing rod was not afraid of being pulled off, and the fishing line was also 4.0, so it was enough to just do it.

This fish is not too big, only more than three catties, and strictly speaking, it is not too small.

Again and again, one afternoon, Wang Yue had already piled up more than 20 fish, the small ones weighed about one catty, and the big ones weighed twelve or three catties.

Taking a look at the sky, he estimated that it was getting dark, so Wang Yue put away the fishing rod, and then threw all the unused baits into the water.

I cut a wooden stick about 1.5 meters long on the shore, stringed the fish one day at a time, then took the fishing rod and left.

Not long after walking, Wang Yue met a few old men from the Air Force. They were surprised when they saw the fish on Wang Yue's shoulders. They ran over and asked Wang Yue, "Men, you caught these fish alone. ?”

Wang Yue smiled and nodded: "Yes, I was lucky today, so I caught more than 20 fish."

"That's awesome, man. You won't be able to finish all the fish. Why don't you sell us a few? You can explain it to your family when you go back." One of the old men said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, the other four old men also nodded in agreement, asking Wang Yue to sell them some.

Seeing that they were too enthusiastic, Wang Yue did not refuse. Since there was no scale, he could only sell by pieces.

"Then you can choose for yourself. I believe you won't treat me badly." Wang Yue said with a smile.

"Hahaha, the man is straightforward, it's the style of our Forty-Nine City people."

At first, the old man who sold the fish laughed and praised him, and then he picked three fish, weighing about 15 catties. The old man handed over a piece of five yuan, and said with a smile: "These three fish weigh about 15 catties. , I’ll give you 3 cents per pound, and if you suffer a little loss, how about 5 yuan?”

Wang Yue nodded and agreed, the price was not low, and he would not disagree with the money being given so readily.

"Okay, thank you for always taking care of my business." Wang Yue took the money and handed over the three fish that the old man had chosen.

"Hahaha, I can do business when I go back." The old man took the money and laughed, he seemed to be in a really good mood.

Seeing that the old man had done it, the other four old men quickly picked the fish.

They also picked about 15 kilograms of fish, but then they saw that the biggest one was also picked, earning another 20 yuan. Wang Yue happily collected the money, and then handed over the fish they picked.

All of a sudden, more than 70 catties were lost, and Wang Yue was very happy in his heart. The remaining fish was about 40 catties, and he was not going to buy them. He put them all in a bucket, threw the stick aside, and then he was happy. I took the bus back to the city.

After getting off the car, it was already dark, and Wang Yue was walking into the alley with a bucket and a fishing rod, and happened to meet the uncle who was off work at the moment.

"Hey, Wang Yue, did you go fishing this afternoon?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a smile.

"Yes, Master, I went fishing outside the city today and just came back. If you don't mind, you can take one back. Although these fish have been frozen hard, they are still fresh." Wang Yue didn't care, it was just a fish. , if you can bribe and live in Yi Zhonghai, it will still be very worthwhile.

"You're a nice boy. I don't like fish. The old lady in the backyard likes to eat it. How about it? Just give it away. I'll buy one. You can pick one and give it to me. I'll make some soup for her old man!" Yi While talking, Zhong Hai took out two yuan from his pocket.

Seeing that he really wanted to buy it, Wang Yue didn't accept the money. He just put down the iron bucket, picked out a grass carp weighing about four kilograms a day and handed it over.

Then he said with a smile: "Master, we are all neighbors, so it's fine if you give me money, this fish will be treated as my gift to the old lady!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was a little surprised. Two yuan was a lot. Many people couldn't make so much in two days.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yue was no longer stupid, but still refused.

Seeing that he really refused to accept money, Yi Zhonghai patted Wang Yue on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will accept your kindness. I will tell the old lady when the time comes, and she will definitely remember your kindness."
