I open a shop in Qixia Town

Chapter 715: Becoming famous with one fishing trip

Over the next half hour, Lin Chen caught fish like crazy, and finally filled the bucket.

As Lin Chen gained more and more, many people gathered around him.

"Wow, this guy is not fishing at all, what's the difference between this and picking up?"

"We have met a fishing expert!"

"Look how happy other people are fishing, but why do I have to sit there for an hour and get nothing?"

"This guy looks very energetic, but I wonder if he is married?"

"Old Wang, I think you are crazy about having a son-in-law. When you see young people, you wonder if they are married or not."

"You know nothing!"

Everyone pointed and talked, and their envious eyes were focused on Lin Chen.

[Congratulations to the host for upgrading his fishing skills! ]

Lin Chen woke up as if from a dream when he heard the prompt tone. He looked up and was startled to see the people surrounding him.

He was so focused on fishing that he didn't notice so many people gathered around him.

Taking one look at the full bucket, it was really eye-catching.

Lin Chen didn't plan to continue fishing. He said goodbye, picked up the bucket and wooden stool, and left with the four little ones under their envious gazes.

As soon as many people saw Lin Chen leaving, they immediately scrambled for the ice hole.

Old Wang in the crowd rolled his eyes and chased after Lin Chen with his fishing rod in hand.

"Young man! Young man! Wait a minute!"

Hearing someone calling, Lin Chen looked back and saw that it was him who was called, so he stopped.

The visitor was a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Uncle, what's up?"

Lin Chen asked.

"Hey, young man, your fishing skills are amazing!" Lao Wang gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm just lucky." Lin Chen waved his hand.

"Hey, luck is also part of strength."

Old Wang changed the subject and asked with a smile, "May I know your name?"

"Excuse me, my last name is Lin."

"It's Comrade Xiaolin, hello! Well, I stopped you for no other reason than to buy two fish from you so that I can have an explanation."

Lao Wang lifted the bucket and let Lin Chen see that it was empty.

"Haha, no problem. I caught a lot and I can't eat it all anyway."

Lin Chen agreed immediately.

Originally, he went fishing mainly for fun to improve his proficiency, and the rest was just to provide a snack for his family.

With this fishing rod with purple attributes, his family probably won't be short of fish in the future, so it's okay to sell a few.

Lao Wang said happily: "Great! Then Xiaolin, name a price. I'll buy two as long as they're suitable!"

Lin Chen scratched his head and said, "Uh, uncle, you decide on the price. I don't know the specific price."

Lao Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Well, the fish in the market now is about 4 cents per pound. How about this, uncle won't take advantage of you. I want these two fish. I estimate that they weigh about five pounds. I'll give you three yuan. Do you think it's okay?"

Because you don’t need a ticket, it’s a little more expensive.

"Row."

Lin Chen agreed immediately.

Lao Wang took out a wrapped handkerchief, opened it and found a stack of bills inside. He counted out three yuan and handed it to Lin Chen.

The four little ones looked up at the four dollars that Lin Chen took with excited expressions.

For them who usually only have one or two cents of pocket money, these four dollars are undoubtedly a huge sum of money!

After the transaction, without waiting for Lao Wang to say anything, Lin Chen led the four little ones to say goodbye and leave.

Looking at Lin Chen's leaving back, Lao Wang looked regretful.

I didn't have the time to ask Xiaolin whether he was married or had a partner. What a pity.
When they got to the shore, Lin Yan stared with wide eyes and immediately said, "Brother, we've made a fortune!"

Lin Lan agreed: "Yeah, four dollars!"

Lin Yan, who was obsessed with money, said, "Brother, how about we sell all the fish in the bucket?"

Lin Chen asked: "You don't want to eat anymore?"

Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, "Then let's keep the big one and sell the rest. We only sold two for three dollars, and the remaining ones may be sold for more than ten dollars!"

Lin Chen shook his head and refused, "It's okay to sell one or two, but it's not certain if you sell too much. Let's keep it for ourselves." Seeing that Lin Yan wanted to say something, Lin Xi touched his head and said, "Listen to your brother."

"Ah~"

Lin Yan let out a long sigh.

It's like losing hundreds of millions.

Lin Lan, who was holding Lin Chen's clothes, suddenly said, "Big pot, I want to eat candy."

Lin Chen comforted him, "Okay, I'll buy it for you when I get home."

"I'll eat it too!"

Lin Yan raised his hand immediately.

Xiao Linyuan, who was feeling sleepy, also shouted, "Eat candy!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's a great harvest today, everyone will have candy!"

"Great!"

The adult and four children returned to Nanluoguxiang chatting and laughing.

When we were almost at Yard 95, a group of little guys ran over.

"Uncle Lin is back!"

"Hurry! Uncle Lin is back from fishing!"

"Wow! So many fish!"

"Uncle Lin is so awesome!"

A group of little kids surrounded Lin Chen and stared at the fish in the bucket.

Lin Yan patted his chest and said proudly: "Hehe, Erdan, Huzi, do you see this fish? I caught it!"

"boast!"

Erdan curled his lips and didn't believe it at all.

Hu Zi didn't believe it either, and said, "That's right. A fish this big must be very strong in the water, how did you catch it? Did it jump up by itself for you to catch?"

Lin Yan said complacently: "Hey, you really guessed it right, it jumped up on its own and let me catch it!"

"Tsk, I don't believe it. It's not stupid, why would it jump up and let you catch it?"

"You are not it, how do you know it is not stupid?"

Ignoring the two choking kids, Lin Chen put down the bucket and said, "Come on, line up. Uncle Lin promised you before that everyone will have a share. Uncle Lin keeps his word!"

When they heard that there was a share of fish, Erdan and Huzi stopped arguing with Lin Yan and quickly ran to line up.

"Erhou, this is yours."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

"Niuniu, I'll give you a big one."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

"Bang terrier, this is yours."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin."

"Oh, auntie, please take it."

"Thank you, nephew!"

……

After distributing the fish to the dozen or so children, there were only a few fish left in the bucket. However, they were all big fish weighing five or six kilograms, which Lin Chen had specially kept.

A fish weighing five or six kilograms may not be considered a big fish in modern times, but it is not small now, after all, resources are limited.

Moreover, Lin Chen’s homemade fishing rod cannot catch any bigger fish.

Seeing his friends happily returning home with their own fish, Lin Yan felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

But this was the order from his eldest brother, and he did not dare to resist, so he could only watch with tears in his eyes.

"Let's go home!"

Lin Chen brought the four little ones back to the east wing.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Father Lin sitting on a chair reading a newspaper. Hearing the noise, he put down the newspaper and asked, "I heard that you took your brother and sister to Houhai to fish? Did you have any?"

Lin Xi said happily: "Dad, look, my brother caught a lot of fish!"

Lin Yan kept chattering: "Dad, I caught this big carp! At that time..."
