Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

As the sun was high in the sky, Dahu, Xiaohu, Chang Yan and Li Yuan gathered the fish and placed them under the shade of a tree.

At the same time, Xiaohu ran to the downstream of the dam to get some water, and sprinkled water on the fish from time to time, for fear that the fish would be killed by the heat.

Chen Pingtun, who was sitting under a tree, asked Liu Ping'an curiously, "Do you have any tricks for catching fish? When the water level of this reservoir was high before, we also tried to go fishing, but to be honest, we had no luck."

Liu Ping'an smiled and didn't think about hiding it, but he didn't know how to say it.

Because he was able to catch fish thanks to the sign-in reward [Magic Fishing Net]. What kind of skills did he have?

So he said, "There's really no skill involved in using a fishing net to catch fish. I think first of all the gaps in the net need to be small and of good quality, otherwise the fish will easily break free; secondly, I asked Xiaohu and the others to get some bait, such as wild fruits and earthworms from the soil."

However, Chen Pingtun frowned after hearing this, as if he was not satisfied with Liu Ping'an's answer.

He asked puzzledly, "That's it? No other special techniques or methods?"

Liu Ping'an shrugged, indicating that he really didn't have any more secrets to share.

He thought that if he told Chen Pingtun that he used a special fishing net, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Liu Ping'an was so frank, Chen Pingtun stopped asking questions.

He thought to himself that maybe catching fish really does require some luck.

After all, they had tried many times before without success.

Seeing this, Liu Pingan warned: "I think it mainly depends on luck. If you hold the mentality that you will get something in one go, it is easy to lose your balance."

Chen Pingtun listened carefully, and nodded with a serious expression when he heard this.

He agreed with this statement very much. The village chief of their village was the old man who just ran down.

Although he was a hunter before, hunting was only a secondary profession and he mainly focused on farming.

If one relies solely on hunting, he will starve to death.

In this era when the cost of survival is high, it is better to be cautious when doing things.

And in the village under the reservoir.

The village chief hurried down and was about to go to the village radio room to broadcast.

Yes, there is radio in this village.

It's not a good thing though, just a small speaker.

And the sound range is not that large, but under the current circumstances, having a village radio is a very remarkable thing.

At this time, a young man holding a hoe saw the village chief in a hurry and asked curiously: "Village chief, where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"

As soon as the village chief saw the young man, he waved with shining eyes: "Come here, little calf."

When Xiao Niu heard the village chief calling him, although he didn't understand why, he still walked over obediently with his hoe on his shoulder: "What's the matter, village chief? What do you want to talk to me about? I just plowed the field."

"The buyers who just came to the village have caught a lot of fish at the reservoir. Come with me and make a broadcast. Let the villagers go to the reservoir to exchange fish. Remember to bring some food with them, since they are buyers after all."

Xiao Niu's face lit up when he heard this.

Their village had a good harvest after the drought ended. After deducting the grain they paid as tribute, every household had enough.

It’s not like those people living near Beijing, who were so hungry that they couldn’t go out.

But there was no meat to eat. Xiao Niu also wanted to go fishing, but the river under the reservoir in their village had dried up, or the water was scarce.

This is because water needs to be stored, otherwise there will be nothing to drink in winter.

This action was not decided by their village, but by the county, but it was not a wrong decision.

Although the rivers here were not flowing, the rivers in other areas were flowing freely, and the villages downstream from them also had water to use.

Their village is usually a little troublesome as they need to go to the reservoir to fetch water, but it's just a little troublesome.

So if they wanted to catch fish in the river, the chances were very slim.

Unexpectedly, the buyers caught fish as soon as they arrived, so Xiao Niu happily asked: "Village chief, how many fish do you have? I can just call two random families to exchange them. If I announce it, everyone in the village will go. That way, there won't be enough to share."

The village chief immediately glared at the calf, making the calf scratch his head.

"What do you know? Others caught dozens of big fish with fishing nets! Go and inform the villagers. If the fish die, you will eat them!"

After hearing that there were dozens of reports and seeing the village chief's serious expression, Xiao Niu had no choice but to believe it.

He jumped up in joy, then ran to the broadcasting room with his hoe on his shoulder: "Don't worry, Village Chief, I'll report it right away!"

When the village chief saw him running away, he did not go home, but stood there waiting for the broadcast.

In a short while, the village radio started to sound.

After listening to what he said, the village chief nodded and found it was almost the same as what he said. He went home and took his things to exchange.

This broadcast immediately caused a sensation in the whole village, and everyone was chattering about it!

"Oh my god, dozens of fish, is Xiao Niu crazy? It's not like we haven't gone fishing before."

"Why would Xiao Niu lie? Besides, he said it was the village chief who said it. Besides, he said it was a buyer from the city who caught him. I think it's very likely, after all, he's a worker."

"Workers are different. They are even better at catching fish than us! I haven't eaten meat for a year. I have to eat today! Bring some cornmeal and go exchange it for a fish!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the village took action.

Chen Ping settled down.

Chen Ying was standing under the eaves, looking at the candy wrapper of the White Rabbit milk candy in her hand. The pattern on it was very beautiful, and she kept looking at it over and over again.

And if you hold it in your hands for a long time, your fingers will have a milky scent.

From time to time, she would bring it under her nose and smell it, giggling.

Chen Ying's mother was also sitting under the eaves, eating the candy her daughter had just given her. While her mouth was tasting sweet, she said to her daughter, "You have to be nice to your Uncle Ping An. This candy is only one cent a piece in the city, it's very expensive. This much is enough to buy several kilograms of pork."

Originally, when Chen Ying's mother saw so many candies, she wanted to collect them and sell them to others in exchange for meat.

But he was stopped by Chen Pingtun, who said that this was a gift from Liu Ping'an to his daughters, so how could they just take it?

If others find out and are unhappy, won’t that offend people?

After thinking about it, she didn't want it. Instead, her daughter gave her two, and she ate one. It was so sweet that she felt comfortable and the bitterness in her mouth disappeared.

She was thinking about what to do to entertain Liu Ping'an in the evening when she suddenly heard the broadcast.

His eyes widened in fear.

"What the hell, dozens of fish, can't it be fake?"

"No, no, Pingtun said he was going to look for Ping'an and the others because he was afraid they would go into the mountains. If they were fine, they would have returned long ago. It looks like they really caught some fish at the reservoir."
