Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan
Chapter 26: First Fishing
On the other hand, Zhou Jin was in a very good mood today, not only because he dealt with those scumbags yesterday and vented his anger.
Today's sign-in also gave Zhou Jin a surprise. Everyone knows Zhou Jin's sign-in system. Except for monthly sign-ins, annual sign-ins and important moments, he usually only signs in for some daily necessities and big black pick-ups.
But this time Zhou Jin actually signed for basic fishing skills and a complete set of modern fishing gear. There were three types of fishing rods alone, two each of short rods, medium-long rods, and extra-long rods. Everything including fishing lines, floats, hooks, and sinkers were already complete.
And the number is quite large. Let’s put it this way, even if Zhou Jin goes fishing every day, he probably can’t use up all the fish in a whole year. This system is really generous.
It just so happened that the lake in his space had been empty for a long time, and now it was short of fish fry. This problem could finally be solved, and he didn't have to wait for Yan Bugui to go fishing. He had basic fishing skills and was definitely much better than Yan Bugui.
Moreover, fishing by yourself not only saves money, after all, you don’t have to buy fish from Yan Bugui, but you also have a new source of supplies. Fish meat is also meat, and the steel mill will also collect it.
Zhou Jin rode his bicycle to the factory, went to the boiler room to get hot water first, made himself a cup of tea, and then stayed in the office to see if anyone came to see him.
After staying there for about an hour, Zhou Jin saw that no one came, so he said something to Zhang Li and rode his bicycle away from the steel mill.
After leaving the steel mill, Zhou Jin first rode his bike to Yard 84 to find Master Lei and asked him to check on his grandparents' yard.
Because Zhou Jin had been there once before, the gatekeeper recognized Zhou Jin and did not stop him. He just greeted him and let Zhou Jin in.
The economic situation this year is not very good, and it is estimated that no one will be willing to spend money to renovate the house. When Zhou Jin came this time, Master Lei still stayed at home.
Zhou Jin chatted with Master Lei for a few words, and then the two of them went to the yard where Grandpa Jin lived. They would decide on repairing the house today, and they would feel more at ease if it was completed earlier.
Twenty minutes later, the two rode their bikes to Mr. Jin's house.
Grandpa Jin introduced the situation of the yard to Master Lei and took him to check everywhere in the yard and the house.
Zhou Jin went to the kitchen to prepare today's lunch.
Because Grandpa Jin's house is a small one with only seven rooms and a yard, Master Lei only took about ten minutes to complete the inspection.
Master Lei followed Grandpa Jin to the main house. Zhou Jin and Grandma Yang also came over when they saw this.
When Master Lei saw that everyone was present, he told them the results of his examination.
"Grandpa, Xiao Zhou, I have carefully checked this yard. Overall, there are no major problems. When this yard was originally built, only high-quality materials were used, so there are no problems with the overall structure.
The rest is just the age, some walls are cracked, the roof needs repairs, and the rest are minor issues.”
"Okay, Master Lei, you are a professional. You need to use the best materials to repair this yard. Please calculate how much it will cost in total and how long it will take to complete it."
"I've calculated it. I promise to complete the task in three days with guaranteed quality and quantity. I'll cover the labor and materials. You just need to give me fifty in total."
"Okay, Master Lei, then you guys should start the work as soon as possible. The sooner you finish the repair, the sooner I can rest assured." After saying that, Zhou Jin took out five big black tens from his pocket and handed them to Master Lei.
Master Lei took the money and said, "No problem, I'll go back and call people. After lunch, I'll bring them over to start work."
"No problem, Master Lei. You can eat with the old man and the others during the construction period. I will send food over when the time comes. But you will have to cook it yourself. Grandpa and grandma are old, and they may not be able to cook for so many people."
"no problem."
Then Master Lei left.
After taking care of the house issue, Zhou Jin cooked a meal for the old couple. They were smiling from ear to ear, and the smiles on their faces never disappeared.
After dinner, Grandpa Jin took out the chessboard and started playing chess with Zhou Jin. Fortunately, it was chess, so Zhou Jin could still make a few moves. If it was Go, Zhou Jin would probably have to teach Grandpa Jin how to play Gobang.
Zhou Jin's chess skills are totally not on the same level as Grandpa Jin's. Each of their games is extremely fast. Even if Grandpa Jin deliberately lets Zhou Jin win, Zhou Jin will not be able to cope with it at all.
The two played six games in total. Master Lei came with his men, and Zhou Jin was finally relieved. This feeling of being crushed all the time was really uncomfortable.
Zhou Jin gave each of Master Lei and his friend a packet of Daqianmen, then said goodbye to the old couple and went to Shichahai to fish.
Zhou Jin hummed a little tune and rode his bicycle to Shichahai at lightning speed. He couldn't wait to try his new skill. After all, he was a fishing fan in his previous life, but he had no time to go fishing because he was too busy with work.
So his original fishing skills were just like playing chess. He could struggle a few times, but only a few times.
But now it’s different. With the basic fishing skill and based on his understanding of the system, Zhou Jin’s fishing skills, even if not as good as Tianyuan Deng Gang’s, are much better than those of ordinary people.
After Zhou Jin parked his bicycle, he dug some earthworms nearby and then found a relatively deserted place to start fishing.
We have not yet reached the most difficult three years, and everyone can still live. Although fish is a meat dish, it has a strong fishy smell when cooked by ordinary people, and it also consumes a lot of oil.
Therefore, those who come to this river to fish, apart from those like Yan Bugui who rely on fishing to supplement their family income, are some retired old men.
After Zhou Jin was ready, he was about to cast the rod, but suddenly he remembered that the system only gave him fishing gear this time, but no things to hold the fish. It would be too troublesome to go back and get it now.
It was impossible for me to put the fish into the space in front of so many people.
Just when Zhou Jin was trying to find a solution, he suddenly remembered the space hut where he stayed last night. There should be a bucket in it, so he quickly left the river bank, found a deserted place, entered the space and took out the bucket.
Everything was ready, so Zhou Jin started his fishing trip. The meal at Grandpa Jin's house had been prepared at noon, so he could start fishing to his heart's content.
If the number of fish caught is small, they can be directly put into the space lake. If the number of fish caught is large, a portion can be given to the factory. This way, the fish in your space will have an additional shipping channel in the future.
Although it is only a basic fishing skill, only when you really start fishing can you feel how powerful he is. Zhou Jin feels that he is now at least half as strong as Deng Gang.
As for Yan Bugui, he was no match for him at all. Although Zhou Jin had never seen him fishing in person, based on the fish he brought back this time and the descriptions in other online articles, Yan Bugui's fishing skills should be the kind of pure practice makes perfect.
During this happy time, Zhou Jin fished for almost five hours, and only stopped fishing when it was almost dark.
During these five hours, he was immersed in the joy of fishing, and every time a fish was hooked, he was very excited. His face was always filled with a satisfied smile, enjoying the beauty of nature.
He sat quietly by the river, feeling the gentle breeze and listening to the birds singing, as if he was one with nature. He was in an extremely happy mood, and all his troubles disappeared at this moment.
In such a happy time, he forgot everything and only focused on the joy of fishing. He enjoyed the tranquility and the closeness with nature.
Because there were so many fish, the bucket couldn't hold them all. Finally, Zhou Jin had no choice but to wander around the riverside and finally found a pit that was about five or six square meters.
Zhou Jin hurriedly poured all the fish in the bucket into the pit, then used the bucket to pour water into the pit, using this pit as a place to put the fish.
Because it was already quite late, most of the people fishing by the river had left, and there weren't many people fishing at the place Zhou Jin had chosen, and now there was no one there.
So Zhou Jin quickly began to count the results. There were two fish weighing more than ten kilograms in the pit, and there were more than a dozen weighing between five and ten kilograms. There were even more weighing less than five kilograms, at least forty or fifty, and there was also a turtle weighing about four kilograms.
Zhou Jin was so happy that he almost jumped up, his heart filled with joy and excitement.
Looking at the fish in front of him, he seemed to see the future prosperity of his lake.
He knew very well that fish had an extremely terrifying reproductive capacity. An ordinary carp could lay 24 eggs at a time, which meant that his lake would have an endless supply of fish resources.
Even if only one percent can survive, there are more than 2,000 of them. What's more, the lake in Zhou Jin's space has a flow rate ten times faster and there are no natural enemies of fish. The survival rate will only be higher.
After being happy, Zhou Jin stood up and looked around to make sure that there was no one around. Then he started throwing the fish into the system lake. In the end, he kept a carp weighing about four pounds and the turtle for himself.
When you go fishing, you have to leave some trophies as a reward for yourself.
Zhou Jin put the turtle and the carp into the bucket, took the fishing rod and went back to where he parked his bicycle.
He unlocked the bicycle, hung the bucket on the handlebars, and then rode happily back to the courtyard.
Zhou Jin sat on his bicycle, humming a cheerful tune. The bicycle under his feet seemed to be infected by his happiness and moved forward happily.
His face was filled with a bright smile, his eyes sparkled with joy, and he felt a sense of accomplishment as he thought about today's great catch.
However, Zhou Jin suddenly thought of something. That is, in other online novels, when the male protagonist goes to Shichahai to fish for the first time, he usually meets an old man with an unusual identity, and there are guards following him.
The two hit it off immediately and had a great time chatting with each other. In the end, they became friends regardless of age difference and called each other brothers. If the old man had a beautiful granddaughter, there might be a beautiful love story between them.
But why was it that after fishing in Shichahai for the entire afternoon, not a single old man came to talk to him? Let alone old men, Zhou Jin didn't see many people the entire afternoon.
Is there something wrong here? This puzzled Zhou Jin. We both traveled to this era and are the protagonists. Why do you have it and I don't?
In fact, Zhou Jin didn't think about it for a moment. He originally wanted to find a deserted place to fish, but later in order to find the puddle, he came to an even more remote location.
Those old men go fishing to enjoy life, cultivate their sentiments and kill time. How could they choose to go fishing in remote places where no one is like Zhou Jin did?
