Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 655: Master Hu's Good Start
Chapter 655: Master Hu's Good Start
The backwater bay the boatman mentioned is actually not far away.

If we look at the topography of the Qinhuai River, the river actually just makes a bend here.

It is precisely because of the bend that there is such an exceptionally calm area of ​​water at this corner.

Now under the sunlight, this area of ​​water is obviously a little warmer than other places.

That’s great!

And since this place is still part of the Qinhuai River, the water here is still running water.

From Mr. Hu's point of view, the water temperature in this place is relatively high, and there are also a large number of underwater plankton.

This is definitely a heaven-chosen fish nest!
Do it!
Master Hu swiftly climbed onto the black-sailed boat that had just been prepared and took a careful look.

This boat is really not big!
Basically, three or five people can fill up the entire boat.

In the middle of the boat is a black sail that is as high as a person's chest. Normally, this is where people are sheltered from wind and rain.

However, the reason why there is such a black-sailed boat hanging behind the Xiaoxiang Pavilion's building ship is actually for service considerations.

After all, after the guest got on the ship, he might stop somewhere if he thought the scenery was nice.

Then, wouldn't we need another ship to transport supplies?
At this time, the black-sailed boat that can travel back and forth on the river very conveniently can come in handy.

Moreover, this thing has another function.

That is, if something happens to the ship, this thing can be used as a lifeboat at the critical moment.

Although it can't carry too many people, it is definitely enough for temporary emergencies.

Now, for Mr. Hu, the biggest use of this black-sailed boat is fishing.

The waterline of this thing is extremely low. Basically, even if you sit at the bow, you can touch the water surface by just stretching your hand.

This is much better than being on a ship.

You know, if you stand on the bow of a building ship, you are more than one person tall above the water surface.

Master Hu did not bring anyone else on the boat, only the boatman and Wang Buqi.

After instructing the boatman to row the boat to the designated location, Mr. Hu looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

He took out the nesting materials that had long been moved onto the black-sailed boat and scattered them out.

Then, after wiping his hands on a towel that had been prepared on the side, Master Hu picked up the fishing rod and cast it out.

Even though technology is not well developed in this era, people still understand that they can live off the land and the water.

It is for this reason that fishing, which is both a form of entertainment and a means of making a living, has the corresponding tools.

At least I had some gadgets that I should have had in my previous life. Although they are not as sophisticated as those in modern society, they are definitely useful.

In other words, the things in modern society are just upgraded and modified based on these things.

Not to mention the lead sinker, although the fish hook has barbs, it is definitely usable.

If there is no nylon thread, we can weave multiple strands of silk together, and the strength is actually not bad.

Not to mention the float, it's just cork and not a rare thing.

It's nothing more than adding some bright colors.

Of course, there is also goose feather floating, which Mr. Hu actually likes very much.

In addition to these things that are actually needed for fishing, there are also things like stools, fish guards, and stands.

There is even less need to worry about this.

In Guo Ziran's store, the real big customers are actually rich people.

Therefore, he has too many of these things in his store.

Therefore, it is obvious that the Ming Dynasty had no industrial foundation at all. Foldable stools, telescopic stands, sun umbrellas...

All the necessary things for fishing in the previous life are prepared in this life as well.

After checking the bait, Mr. Hu swung the fishing rod and finally caught the fish.

He looked at the condition of the float, adjusted it several times, and finally sat on the chair with the fishing rod in his arms.

Wang Buqi and the boatman stood behind Master Hu. After looking at Master Hu who was obviously very happy, they looked at each other.

Obviously, they all don't understand why Mr. Hu likes such a thing.

After all, in the eyes of people of this era.

Isn’t fishing a skill to make a living?

How come a person like Mr. Hu likes this kind of thing?
This is actually because they are not at a high enough level.

In fact, in ancient China, fishing was not only a way to make a living, but also a rare and elegant hobby.

Many literati and poets do not paint fish at all, but the "artistic conception" of sitting there fishing!
Perhaps the root of this matter lies with Jiang Taigong.

After all, he was able to catch King Wen of Zhou while fishing, and this event was recorded in history.

Then the younger generations must also learn from him, right?
Not to mention catching an emperor, catching a superior who appreciates you is also good!
Master Hu is different!

He loves fishing!
I like the thrill of pulling with the fish and the joy of catching them.

As for the artistic conception or not, get lost!

His status is already high enough, he doesn't need all that stuff.

Master Hu half-squinted his eyes, staring at the fishing float in the distance that was slightly rising and falling with the waves, while stroking the jade handle of the fishing rod in his hand.

The more I touch it, the more I feel that this thing feels really good and is really luxurious.

Although this thing is not top-grade jade.

But...the feel and appearance are really good.

At least this thing feels much more comfortable in my hand than those carbon fiber poles I used to have in my previous life.

While Master Hu was sighing silently in his heart, he keenly discovered that his fishing float seemed to sink secretly and then immediately floated up?

This made him stand up immediately, and then he looked at the fishing float with a nervous expression.

Today we are going wild fishing, and we are going wild fishing on a boat in these big rivers.

Judging from the population and technology of today's era, the difficulty of fishing now is definitely at least ten times lower than in the future.

After all, wherever there is water in later generations, there will be fishermen.

Any fish that can survive in rivers, lakes, seas, ditches and ridges must have been almost made smart by all kinds of technologically advanced nesting materials, baits and various high-tech fishing gear.

But what about this era?

Only a few people are willing to make a nest before casting the rod, let alone those who fish.

Therefore, when Master Hu saw the fish float he was staring at suddenly sink, he picked up the fishing rod without hesitation.

Then, this supreme deluxe fishing rod, which was used in actual combat for the first time, instantly made a nervous squeak.

Mr. Hu immediately relaxed a little, and then began to shake the fish left and right.

Wang Buqi, who was originally standing aside watching the show, was also very observant and picked up the scoop net beside him.

Master Hu just tried to slip it two or three times, and then he pulled the fish to the side of the boat.

Looking at the big carp weighing at least two or three pounds jumping around in Wang Buqi's scoop net, Master Hu laughed out loud.

Good start!
