Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 7

Now Li Ce really understands what it means to eat one meal and not the next one. These days, there is such a meal without a meal, but it is not a long-term solution after all. He has to find a way to make a living. Even the problem of food and clothing is not enough. If it can't be solved, what about beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, Wang Tu's dominance.

He walked slowly along Zhendingfu Street, looking around at the hawkers on the street, but they sold everything, but he had nothing to sell at all, and his house looked like a barren house, not even a mouse. Patronize.

After looking around, he still had no clue. Just as he was about to go home in despondency, he overheard several people talking: The fish caught today is really fat, and it will definitely sell for a good price...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Ce's mind, that's right, I have enough food and clothing by myself, I can go fishing in the river outside the city, and I can eat meat, it really kills two birds with one stone!
Li Ce's philosophy of life is to do whatever comes to mind immediately, without delay. He ran all the way home, as if he regained his strength in an instant. When he thought of the fat and tender carp with sugar and crisp, oily carp, and steamed carp... Can't help drooling.Hey, there is no way, I have been hungry for a long time, and my stomach has not been stained with meat for a long time. As the saying goes, the warehouse knows etiquette, and it seems that I will not be able to eat, so I still have some scruples about my image. Besides, in this broken No one in this place knows me, so this guy ran all the way, and Ha Lazi followed him all the way...

Li Ce compared the appearance of the fishing rods of later generations, and quickly made a simple fishing tackle with bamboo poles, silk threads, and embroidery needles. When he rushed to the river outside the city and prepared to cast his rods, he suddenly thought of a very serious problem—— Where is the bait?
Looking at the sparkling water surface, this fellow twitched in his heart, he was so poor that he didn't even have bait...

Li Ce was sighing and planning to find a branch to dig earthworms, but when he rolled his eyes, he saw an old man fishing with a bamboo hat on the shore not far away.

Li Ce tried his best to use the gentlest tone, and once again put on his signature smile. In his previous work experience in the bank, he was best at dealing with all kinds of difficult uncles and aunts. Today, this magical skill finally comes into play again. , it seems that you really have too many skills to overwhelm your body.

"Hey, old man, do you also fish?" This guy was smiling so hard that he couldn't find his eyes...

As the saying goes, if you reach out and don't hit a smiling face, this fellow is so polite, even though the old man doesn't know him, he is too embarrassed to refuse abruptly, so he is polite casually, and after speaking, he stares intently at the float on the water.

The old man's attitude was very indifferent. Li Ce was bored, but he was not discouraged. He consciously squatted down beside him, and when he squatted down, he found that there were already two small carp in the old man's fish basket. .

At this moment, the old man noticed that the float was trembling, and he rode it suddenly. Li Ce judged based on his experience - he got up early, and the fishhook was indeed above the water, and there was nothing on it.

When Li Ce saw the bottom line of the old man's hook, he grinned and suddenly had an idea. He continued to smile shyly and said, "Old man, you know that different fish have different living habits. Some fish live in the upper layer, while others live in the middle layer." , It seems that the carp you caught, it likes to be in the lower layer, I look at the water surface, and estimate that the depth of the water here is at most two meters, uh... about five feet (three feet in ancient times is one meter)."

"Oh, there are other things like this? This is the first time I've heard of it, and it's really interesting." The old man was obviously interested, and he turned to Li Ce with a slight smile.

Li Ce saw that there was something interesting, and then said: "This is also related to the season. It is summer now, and the waters where carp live are floating a little bit upwards, so although your fishing rod has a short bottom line, you can still catch a few fish." If you are a smaller fish, if you make the bottom line longer, you will definitely attract bigger fish."

This fellow was beaming with joy, and gestured while talking, making the old man dizzy, and the old man kept nodding his head to express his approval.Seeing Li Ce's words were serious and confident, he decided to take his suggestion and give it a try.

It didn't take long for the fish to bite the hook. I don't know if Li Ce's suggestion was really effective, or the old man was lucky, and he actually caught a big fish. The fish is very strong in the water, and the old man put in a lot of effort. Li Ce was on the side to help, and then he pulled it up, good guy, it weighs about five or six catties.

It could be seen that the old man was very happy, he laughed loudly and said: "This is the first time this old man has caught such a big fish since he started fishing. You really have some skills." Facing the wind, I was sweating from the tossing just now.

The old man took off his bamboo hat, and Li Ce saw his appearance clearly.In fact, he is not old, but the green clothes look a bit old, this man looks about 50 years old, his hair is slightly gray, his face is pale, his eyes are very energetic, he has a long beard under his jaw, and he is wearing a blue robe , the figure is a bit thin, but it gives people a feeling that cannot be underestimated.

"In our hometown, there is a saying that the meeting is divided into half..." This guy finally got to the point, and started to fool around again.

"Huh? Your hometown? Isn't your hometown this Zhending City?" the old man asked suspiciously.

"Ahem... Oh, I didn't come here before. I just said it was my hometown when I was a child. Well, you don't know." Li Ce said with a sloppy eye.

"Oh? There's still something about this Great Song Dynasty that I don't know? I think I followed Taizu back then..." The old man stopped suddenly when he said this, and said, "Let's talk about it."

Li Ce thought in his heart: It seems that this old man has seen the world, but I am not familiar with the Song Dynasty, what if he really knows a place name and continues to ask me, what should I do?By the way, I say so.

Li Ce pondered and said: "Well, I lived overseas when I was young, you know the sea, right? My hometown is on the other side of the sea."

After Li Ce finished speaking, the old man obviously couldn't react, with a surprised expression on his face, even after Li Ce finished speaking, he was still in a daze.

"I'll just tell you, you don't even know if I tell you." Li Ce muttered in a low voice.

"Well, the old man has seen it today, and it really is a day beyond the sky." The old man sighed.

"Well, let's not be obsessed with the issue of my hometown. The key to the problem is the statement of my hometown, this..." Li Ce saw that the topic was a bit far-fetched, so he hurriedly said again with a cheeky face.

"Oh, it's easy to say, just follow the customs of your hometown, but the customs of your hometown are really strange." The old man was very generous.

"The old man is so bright!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Ce happily flattered the old man.

"It's just how to divide it? If you cut it open, the fish will be dead when you take it home, wouldn't it be delicious?" The old man frowned and felt a little embarrassed.

"That's true..." Li Ce murmured.While thinking about the solution, he couldn't stop thinking about how to get more points.

After a while, there was a flash in the guy's eyes, and he thought of a way.
