Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 40 Fortune Telling
The two people under the bridge looked at each other in embarrassment, they were quite speechless, so they just said hello and were directly scolded.The old man still has the same personality of admonishing others, so Zhang Tao just put his head down and continued fishing. There is no way to communicate!It is impossible to refute it by myself.

At this time, there was a sudden big movement in the water, and a few big waves were thrown up. It is estimated that something big was electrocuted underwater.Zhang Tao quickly fished it out with a fishing net on one side, and a soft-shelled turtle weighing two or three kilograms was fished out, but the fishing net was too small to hold it.

Zhang Tao picked up the soft-shelled turtle in the water with two bamboo poles, and then threw it directly to the shore.Seeing this, the monkey on one side stopped smoking, and immediately ran over to catch the turtle and packed it up.

"Turtle! What a big turtle!" At this time, someone on the bridge immediately exclaimed when they saw the movement below, even the old gentleman who just said that fishing for fish and shrimp would not make a fortune was startled and stood by the bridge to watch , looking at the two fishing guys below. "There's one more! Come on, there's another one!
Even if the people on the bridge didn't call Zhang Tao, they still saw the movement in the water, and immediately continued to move the fishing machine into the water, and soon the other soft-shelled turtle was electrified again.

This one was bigger than the one that was caught, and the monkey knew it couldn't be caught at a glance, and hurriedly shouted: "Stun it first, and I'll go into the water to catch it. It won't be able to catch such a big turtle."

Zhang Tao originally planned to go into the water to catch it by himself, but when he saw the monkey went down, he didn't move, but kept discharging.When the monkey was close to the side, the electricity was turned off. The monkey quickly grabbed the big guy in the water and threw it to the shore.

When walking towards the shore, his expression suddenly became strange, as if he was stepping on something, "There is another one in the water!
There were already many people standing on the bridge at this time, and they immediately became startled when they heard the monkey's voice, their eyes were full of envy, "These two people are lucky today, they got three big turtles at once, This will cost a lot of money, probably in the hundreds, and it's a small windfall."

The old gentleman next to him hadn't left yet. When he heard the people on the side say this, he felt that he couldn't hold back his face, so he turned around and left immediately.Only now did he say that fishing for fish and shrimp would not make a fortune, but the two guys below made a small windfall, how could he have the nerve to stay here.

In fact, the concept of chance and luck in Zhang Tao's encounter today is too big, but the gains are quite a lot in terms of money.The soft-shelled turtles here are quite valuable, they can be sold for dozens of yuan a catty in the market, and the female ones are more expensive, and these three turtles cost several hundred yuan.

The old man who just said that fishing for fish and shrimp does not make a fortune is just a scholar living in a mountain village, and there are many things he hasn't seen.And at this time, a lot of news is still relatively closed. If he knows that some people can live in peace of mind as long as they catch one fish in their lifetime, he will probably take back the saying that fishing for fish and shrimp will not make a fortune.

Zhang Tao remembered that he had seen the news that someone caught a bluefin tuna and sold it for tens of millions, and there were many such things.The saury in the Yangtze River is said to be sold by the gram, and such fish is not cheap anymore.Calculated in this way, there are already many opportunities to make a fortune by fishing for fish and shrimp.

In addition, everything is low-grade, only high-level reading can be used at this time, and the status of scholars seems to become less important in the future.If you can’t get out, no matter how good you are at reading, you’re a fart. If you can get out and become part of a small group of people, you’ll be a rascal and a villain, and you’ll still be sought after by a bunch of people.

Zhang Tao doesn't want to debate whether the old man's views are correct, he is not a debater.It's that society will become that way, not because of who said what.Zhang Tao's own experience is the best illustration. What could be more emotional than actual experience?

It's not that I don't understand, but that the world is changing too fast!Many things have completely changed before people figured it out.The world has become strange, and I can never go back to the original world.What we pursue and persist in has become a symbol of stupidity after reaching society, and only we are left ignorant and still ups and downs in society.

After electrifying three soft-shelled turtles, Zhang Tao and Houzi stopped electrocuting the fish and went home directly.The harvest of those three soft-shelled turtles is enough for them to be busy for many days, and they are still playing fish, go home and show off!

Zhang Cuihua happened to be at home, and she was surprised to see what the two of them had achieved. She caught a soft-shelled turtle and wanted to take it back to the monkey, but the monkey refused. He just carried a bucket, and Zhang Tao was all about the electric fish machine. He did it himself, so he was embarrassed to ask for it.

In the end, Zhang Tao gave him a male one, "This male one can't be sold for much money, so I just took it home and ate it for you. Such a big guy is not so easy to catch. It is for your wife and parents." Try it out, but don't eat it if your wife is pregnant."

"Well, how embarrassing, I took a soft-shelled turtle back without doing anything." Monkey rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and said, neither he nor Zhang Tao's mother realized what was wrong with Zhang Tao's words .If ordinary people would understand after hearing Zhang Tao's words, this big fart child even knows about women's pregnancy?

Before Zhang Tao took two storage batteries and miner's lamps from his house, he often gave fish to Houzi's house. He already felt quite embarrassed, so this time he directly gave it to a big guy.Although this male soft-shelled turtle is not worth much, there are still some 20 yuan a catty for ten or so, and the three or four catty male soft-shelled turtles are worth tens of yuan, so the monkey directly ignored what Zhang Tao said later.

Zhang Tao didn't let the monkey refuse, and directly took the male soft-shelled turtle back to him, and the remaining two females also weighed two to three catties. This harvest was too unexpected.Zhang Tao himself never thought that they could get three turtles of this size today, because they are not very common here.

In fact, in the early years, there were still a lot of these things here, but for a while, the 666 pesticide they used here was too toxic, and the fish, shrimp and turtles in the water were overwhelmed at that time. As a result, there will be a lot less aquatic products in the next period of time.

Monkey was still very happy after taking a soft-shelled turtle and a few catties of small fish back. He didn't expect his wife to have such a harvest after giving Zhang Tao a few unnecessary things.It's not that he never thought about getting a fishing machine for himself, but he often has to go to work, so it's okay to do it occasionally when he has a few days off.

It would be a waste to get a fishing machine if it is not used often, and he can go directly to Zhang Tao's house to borrow the fishing machine when he is resting now.Zhang Tao has to go to school, he doesn't use the fishing machine every day, so the monkey thinks about it and then lazily does it, which is a waste.

"Where is spring, where is spring? Spring is in the green mountains and forests, where there are red flowers, green grass, and little orioles that can sing..."

After the spring plowing, the weather is getting warmer and lively day by day. This is the happiest time for the children. You can see lively and lively children everywhere, and you can hear their often out-of-tune and cheerful singing everywhere.

For children, there are many interesting things to do in spring, such as digging bamboo shoots, although the children can't dig much.Most of the time, I still follow the adults, making myself look like a mud monkey. Every time I dig a bamboo shoot, I will be told by the adults, but every time I dig a big bamboo shoot, the surprise is still uncontrollable.

Then there are pickled tea and bubble tea, these two are special products in the mountains, one is a kind of mutated leaves on the camellia oleifera tree, thick, and some will grow like fruit.Paoli is a kind of wild strawberry, which can be found in the bushes on the mountain by the side of the road, red, these are very delicious, and they can be found everywhere on the mountain during Qingming.

There are also picking vegetables and pulling small bamboo shoots, which even older children can do.Juicy vegetables are everywhere, just pick the tenderest ones to pick them. The tender fern vegetables are scalded with boiling water and served with fried bacon with dried chili. The taste is quite good.

Small bamboo shoots are a little more troublesome, you have to find places where there are more small bamboo shoots.This kind of bamboo can't grow very big, at most it is the size of a thumb, but this kind of bamboo shoots tastes better than the big bamboo shoots, and they don't feel numb.Still put some dried chili, and then add some meat, which is extremely delicious for the children in the country.

It was another Sunday, Zhang Tao didn't go there today, he was at home.After finishing his homework, he was playing with his black panther, and the swallows under the eaves were making noise.The swallows in their family have now hatched and the young swallows have come out. The two big swallows are busy feeding the little swallows back and forth every day.

At this time, he heard his mother shout, and immediately got up and walked out of the room after answering.Zhang Cuihua called from the ancestral hall in the village. She had just returned from the reservoir.

Zhang Tao walked towards the ancestral hall with some doubts, and only after arriving at the place did he know that there was a horoscope reader in the village, and he heard that the calculation was very accurate.So Zhang Tao's mother wanted Zhang Tao to take a look. People in the countryside believed in this.

The corners of Zhang Tao’s mouth twitched when he heard the horoscope. In his previous life, he was read by a classmate’s father with a thick copy of "Yuan Tiangang Bazi Bone Scale". It was very bad stuff, so he listened to himself. After my mother's words, I don't want to go there.

But Zhang Tao's mother must ask her son to take a look. Everyone in the village said that the man's calculations are very accurate.

Zhang Tao curled his lips, guessing that it was the blind man in the next village who was the character.But he never tells fortunes to people nearby, for fear of ruining his own brand.And the blind man's life will be more prosperous as time goes on, and many people from far away will come to him in luxury cars.
