Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

“Looks like I’ve caught a fish!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Jun also noticed the movement coming from the fishing rod. He grabbed the fishing rod tightly and used both hands to pull the fishing rod into a half circle.

Wow, that’s quite a commotion!

Half a minute later, Chen Jun felt that the force on the fishing rod was a little weaker, so he pulled the rod up and hauled up a crucian carp weighing more than two kilograms.

The crucian carp fell to the ground and kept flapping its wings, making a popping sound as it hit the ground.

This movement directly attracted the attention of nearby fishermen.

"Wow??? There's actually a fish caught on the rotten wood, it looks like a crucian carp weighing more than two kilograms!"

"Hiss, this is really strange, no one can catch fish in that place, this guy is really lucky!"

"Maybe it's because this is the first time for a novice to go fishing. This is very mysterious, just like playing mahjong and meeting a complete novice. His luck is so good!"

"A few days ago, an old man fished on a rotten log all day and didn't catch a single fish. This young man caught a fish right away. He's really lucky."

"That's right, I guess it's just luck. You can't normally catch fish in that place."

There was an endless stream of discussions, doubts and envy.

Bringing home a crucian carp weighing more than two kilograms is enough to make a big pot of fish soup. Who wouldn’t be envious?

Master Liu standing by was also stunned.

"No, you are really lucky. You caught a crucian carp right away. Keep this fish for me. I want to eat it tomorrow. Let me share in your good luck."

"Okay, I'll keep this one for you." Chen Jun smiled, took off the fishhook, and threw the crucian carp into the net bag.

Yan Bugui, who was not far away, was stunned when he saw this scene.

Chen Jun caught a fish!

It was a crucian carp weighing more than two kilograms. What kind of luck was this!

"Hey, this newbie has good luck, but it won't be so good later on. I don't envy him!"

Yan Bugui forced himself to comfort himself, then turned his attention to his fishing rod.

I kept repeating to myself, "Catch the fish, catch the fish," otherwise I would be beaten by Chen Jun today.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of splashing water.

When he looked in the direction of the sound, Yan Bugui almost dropped his jaw in shock.

There was movement on Chen Jun's fishing rod again!

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

Yan Bugui has been fishing in Houhai for so many years, but he has never seen a novice like Chen Jun who can catch the second fish so quickly.

"Hey, hey, hey, young boss, you've caught fish again. It looks like quite a big noise!" Grandpa Liu at the side stood up from the recliner, ready to lend a hand at any time.

In his opinion, Chen Jun was just a kid and a novice with too little experience in fishing.

Chen Jun nodded, concentrated his attention and began to deal with the fish in the water.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a few minutes. Chen Jun slowly pulled the fish towards the shore and finally pulled the fish up with a final effort.

Wow, this one is as big as the previous one.

"Tsk, it's a black carp. It looks bigger than the one just now!" Master Liu couldn't help but say.

"Oh my goodness, that young man caught another one. It looks like a herring."

"No, who is this guy? How could he catch two fish in that shabby place? I've been here for three hours and only caught a crucian carp and a watermelon seed."

"These two fish can be eaten for two days. This kid is really lucky."

"Don't just think of his good luck. The young man has good physical fitness. His face didn't turn red or he didn't breathe heavily when he was playing with the fish. He must have exercised a lot."

"You know what? You really know what? This guy has a strong body. It's obvious that he's a good fisherman."

Listening to the discussions of the fishermen around him, Yan Bugui's stiff expression finally changed.

It shouldn’t be!

No one can catch any fish in the rotten wood. This is a fact he confirmed after long-term observation.

Could it be that Chen Jun’s equipment is good?

No, no, these are what he just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, and the quality is average.

Is it technology?

It's even more impossible. He has watched Chen Jun grow up, and has never seen Chen Jun touch a fishing rod before.

Or maybe Chen Jun’s bait is better?

That’s not very likely, as everyone uses similar things these days.

After much thought, Yan Bugui could only explain it as good luck.

Newcomers have good luck, mysteriously good luck.

Apart from this explanation, Yan Bugui really couldn't think of any other possibilities.

There are so many fishermen in Houhai, but all their luck has been sucked away by the newcomer Chen Jun.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was okay to say such words in his heart, but he couldn't say them out loud.

Mistakes are going to be made.

Seeing Chen Jun throw the second fish into the net bag, Yan Bugui became even more anxious.

Now it is no longer a question of whether or not I can accept Chen Jun as my apprentice. The most important thing now is to save my own face!

When I came here, I boasted a lot, saying that I was the number one fisherman in Siheyuan and a senior fishing enthusiast.

If I go back empty-handed today, I won't be able to show off anymore.

钓！

If I don’t catch a big fish today, I won’t go back!

"Plop~"

"Crash!"

Just when Yan Bugui was imagining that he had caught a big black carp, the sound of splashing water was heard not far away.

Ok?

Yan Bugui looked towards Chen Jun in disbelief.

Good guy!

A catfish weighing about four or five pounds was thrown up by Chen Jun.

The catfish struggled desperately on the ground, trying to get back into the water.

But he was quickly grabbed by Chen Jun and lifted up.

Another...another fish?

This is absolutely impossible!

Only four or five minutes had passed since Chen Jun first cast the hook.

Three fish caught in just four or five minutes?

And the size of these fish are bigger than each other.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Yan Bugui mumbled incoherently, his expression beginning to become dull.

Even when the fishing rod in his hand moved slightly, he didn't react.

And Mr. Liu, who was closest to him, was so shocked that he was speechless.

what is happening?

Even if a novice is lucky, there has to be a limit, right?

Three fish were caught in just a few minutes. Even the former fishing king of Houhai was not so awesome, right?

Looking at the big catfish and then at Chen Jun, Master Liu pointed at the fish and said, "Keep this one for me too. I want to make tofu stew!"

Chen Jun picked up the fish and said with a smile, "Catfish stewed with tofu doesn't taste good. Why not try catfish stewed with eggplant? It will make you die of fullness."

"You kid!" Master Liu was immediately amused by this remark.

What do you mean by "the old man will die of starvation"? Who are you trying to kill with starvation?

Are you going to starve me, an old man, to death?

While helping to put the catfish into the net bag, Master Liu couldn't help but pinch Chen Jun's arm and said, "It's strange, your arm doesn't look thick, how come it's so strong?"

Although fishing doesn't seem tiring, it is actually quite strenuous.

Chen Jun caught three fish in a row but didn't feel tired at all. It was unusual, very unusual.

Ok?

Chen Jun waved his arms, his left hand making the motion of flipping the spoon and his right hand making the motion of waving the spatula.

"I've been selling stir-fried dishes at a stall every day, so I've developed a lot of strength!"
