Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

He Yuzhu walked around the ice cave, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the ice cubes scattered on the ground due to digging the hole.

He suddenly had an idea and selected several relatively regular-shaped ice blocks and skillfully stacked them together, like building a small ice tower. Then he placed his backpack on the ice tower, and a simple small pier was born.

He sat on the ice with satisfaction and began to prepare his fishing equipment attentively. He carefully adjusted the fishing line and fish markers and put on the bait carefully.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, flicked the fishing line gently, and the bait fell steadily into the ice cave.

Starting his first fishing trip, he sat quietly on the ice pier, staring at the hole in the ice, waiting for the moment when the fish would take the bait.

He Yuzhu calmed down and called out the interface to see if the fishing skill was recorded on the panel.

"Sure enough, there is still nothing." He Yuzhu looked at the skill column on the panel, feeling disappointed. It seemed that it was unrealistic to simply brush up on the skills.

He lowered his head and thought, how can this fishing skill be recorded on the panel? Does it really have to catch a fish to count? But on this vast ice, who can say when the fish will bite?

He Yuzhu sighed and shook his head helplessly.

He picked up the fishing rod in his hand and gently waved it on the water, pretending to be fishing.

Although he knew that doing this would not make fishing skills appear out of thin air, at least it looked like fishing on the surface.

He Yuzhu thought: "When I cash out the things in the blessed land, who will know where my fish came from? As long as I say that this fish was caught, then it was caught."

Thinking this way, he seemed to find some comfort in his heart. In this way, He Yuzhu continued his "fishing trip" on the ice.

He Yuzhu's mind was filled with memories of his past life. Those fishermen were still able to fish leisurely during the fishing ban. Wasn't it because of their special fish feeding skills? (I don't know how to fish, so I wrote this randomly. I wish you all will catch fish when you cast your rod!)

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he thought to himself, "I can also learn from them to make a nest to feed the fish. Although the environment of ice fishing in Shichahai is very different from that in my previous life, fish are always greedy. There will always be a 'sucker' who will take the bait, right?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curl up a smug smile. Before his smile was fully bloomed, a new question came to his mind.

What about the bait? He frowned, thinking about the solution.

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of his blessed land. If the blessed land could process straw bags, then could it also process feed?

He Yuzhu calmed down and sensed the blessed land. He finally got feedback. Now we can process the feed! And the remaining materials from the previous processing of wheat and rice can be used to process the feed.

He Yuzhu was delighted and immediately started to work. He communicated with Fudi to process the feed immediately. After a while, the feed was processed.

He took out a handful and held it in his hand. A faint aroma of feed spread out. He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself: "Now, the fish will have a good meal!"

He held the freshly processed feed tightly in his hand and threw it into the ice hole. The feed slowly sank on the water surface, and then he stared at the ice hole quietly, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"Hey, you are such a fool! Are you spreading bait everywhere? Do you want to make friends with the fish? Haha."

A burst of teasing voice broke the silence around, coming from behind He Yuzhu.

He turned around and saw a middle-aged man carrying a bucket, a fishing bag on his back, his hands in his pockets, looking at him with a smile.

He Yuzhu smiled and responded, "Uncle, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'm really not very good at fishing, and this is my first time. Can you give me some pointers?"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man thought for a moment, then with a warm smile on his face, he walked towards He Yuzhu.

"Since you have this purple bamboo pole, I will tell you about it. Don't waste this good pole."

As he said this, he came to He Yuzhu, took off the small stool on his back and sat down, ready to teach this novice some fishing knowledge and tips.

He Yuzhu looked at the enthusiastic uncle with gratitude in his heart. He took out the last two cigarettes from his pocket and handed them over respectfully.

"Uncle, you really helped me a lot. May I ask your name? Two cigarettes is just a small token of my appreciation."

The middle-aged man took the cigarette, a smile flashing in his eyes, and gently tapped He Yuzhu with his finger.

"My surname is Zhang. You are quite capable."

He lit a cigarette, sat aside and whispered to He Yuzhu about various fishing techniques.

Uncle Zhang’s explanation was vivid and interesting, and He Yuzhu listened with great interest.

Time passed quickly, Uncle Zhang finished his cigarette, and was ready to say goodbye and go back.

He Yuzhu said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Uncle Zhang, for your guidance. I have benefited a lot from it."

After seeing Uncle Zhang off, He Yuzhu refocused his attention on the ice cave. He stared at the fish mark floating on the water and held the fishing rod tightly, fearing that he would miss any sign of a fish taking the bait.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally the fish marker moved. Suddenly, the fish marker was dragged under the water. Seeing this, He Yuzhu immediately pulled up the fishing rod with force, and a pulling force came from under the water.

"Haha, I finally took the bait!"

He Yuzhu shouted excitedly, his face filled with the joy of success.

He carefully controlled the fishing rod, fearing that the fish would escape. After some effort, he finally pulled a fat fish onto the ice.

Looking at the fish jumping around on the ice, estimated to be about three or four pounds, He Yuzhu felt a sense of accomplishment.

When he saw the lively crowds around him gradually dispersing, He Yuzhu realized that it was getting late.

He looked at the fish still jumping on the ice. No matter whether he was a novice or not, he had caught a fish for the first time and his heart was filled with satisfaction and pride.

He packed up his fishing gear, held the fish by its gills, put his backpack back on, and walked toward the shore, ready to pull some grass and make a rope to tie the fish up and bring it back. After tying the fish, he slowly stood up and set out on his way home.

-----------------

He Yuzhu walked into the courtyard through the gate, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a fish in the other.

When he entered the door, he saw a screen wall carved with exquisite patterns, then turned left and stepped into the corridor in the front yard.

Li Huailiang and Zhao Xinli were playing here with their respective sisters. When they saw He Yuzhu returning, they immediately stopped the games they were playing.

Li Huailiang blinked and first spotted the fish in He Yuzhu's hand. He shouted in surprise, "Brother Zhuzi, where did you catch this big fish? What a big catch!"

Zhao Xinli also came forward, his eyes full of envy. Their sisters also ran over at this time, their eyes flashing with curiosity and surprise, and they kept shouting: "Brother Zhuzi, big fish! Big fish!"

He Yuzhu laughed triumphantly. He deliberately slowed down his movements and raised the frozen fish high in his hand.

He said proudly, "Of course I did. I caught a big fish on my first try. It looks like I will have good luck in the future. I'll go fishing when I have time and have some meat for my family."

After hearing this, Li Huailiang and Zhao Xinli were even more envious and they all congratulated He Yuzhu.

Although the Li and Zhao families were well off, meat dishes were still delicacies that could only be enjoyed during the New Year and other festivals. Looking at the big fish in He Yuzhu's hand, their envy was beyond words.

Under the envious eyes of several children, He Yuzhu carried the fish, walked lightly through the exquisite hanging flower gate, and entered the central courtyard.

His figure lengthened, and the joy of harvest seemed to spread to every corner of the courtyard with his steps.

He Yuzhu held the big fish in his hand and planned to cross the yard back to the kitchen to wait for He Daqing to come back and cook this delicious braised fish.

However, just as he reached the middle of the courtyard, a figure suddenly rushed down from the corridor of the west wing.
