rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 438 The envy of the fisherman

"Almost~!"

A fishing rod was bent into a big bow. Chen Li held the fishing rod in both hands, with a happy smile on his face.

At this moment, in the backwater bay of Lihe River, a carp about half a meter tall has begun to turn its belly.

Turning its belly~ It’s not that this carp is dying, but it’s running out of energy.

This carp has been competing with Chen Li for about ten minutes and is already exhausted.

However, Chen Li did not relax his vigilance.

Some fish are quite smart. When you think they are exhausted, they suddenly give you a powerful blow, and then

Rod breakage, line breakage, hook detachment or even the fishing rod falling out of hand are all very likely to happen.

Of course, all this is no problem for Chen Li, who is now an intermediate fisherman.

If Chen Xue had not asked for help just now, Chen Li would have been able to pick up the fish just now.

But at this moment, following Chen Li's order, Chen Guofu, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stretched out the net.

Hmm. Yes~ Chen Xue has been deprived of the right to copy this fish because she failed just now.

Following Chen Guofu's movements, a large carp with a golden back and red tail appeared in front of everyone.

"Oh~ this fish is not small!"

"It must weigh more than ten kilograms, right?"

"Yeah, I guess it's at least fifteen pounds."

"Hey, young man, what kind of fishing rod are you using? This fishing rod is okay. It was fine even if it was pulled like that just now?"

"Yes, yes, what kind of bait did you use? Are they red worms? You caught a lot right now, right?"

"What did you use to make the nest? Corn? Where did you buy this bait and how much did it cost?"

At this moment, Chen Li's fishing spot is already crowded with people.

These people were all nearby anglers, and they were all attracted by the sound of Chen Li fighting the carp just now.

But this is not the first time these people have been attracted.

This carp is the third big fish over ten pounds that Chen Li has caught today, and this is also the fourth time that he has been watched.

In addition to catching these three big fish, there was another time when the fish came off the hook.

In fact, to be honest, generally speaking, if a big fish gets decoupled during wild fishing, then there is a high probability that the fishing spot will be useless.

But there is no problem with Chen Li's fishing spot, because the bait he exchanged from the system is too attractive for fish born in 1999.

In less than two hours after Chen Li arrived at the fishing spot, he caught at least seventy or eighty kilograms of various fish.

See ~ this is the benefit of having a system.

Even if Chen Li does not use system resources to do business, or even does not study, but only uses system resources to fish, Chen Li can build a well-off family.

Moreover, Chen Li also discovered that fishing can actually increase the currency of the mall.

The system calculates the fish caught by Chen Li based on weight, and the system gives Chen Li a reward of 1 mall currency for every kilogram.

Okay~ Although it’s a little less, the system’s bait is not expensive either.

It's just that the set of fishing gear that Chen Li exchanged was relatively expensive. It would take less than half a year to save money in the mall from fishing alone, and he wouldn't be able to buy it.

Of course, Chen Li did not bring out a full set of fishing gear today. After all, it would be a bit exaggerated to bring a full set of equipment for this kind of wild fishing.

And the fish in 1999 were not like the fish in later years.

Not to mention the systematic bait, even the baits sold on the market are extremely attractive to fish these days.

But the sales are still not very good.

The main reason is that the current fishing army is far from as large as it was later, and most people are relatively resistant to the high cost of fishing these days.

But if it is really useful, the fishing guys will not refuse it.

So at this moment, the surrounding fishermen started asking Chen Li about it.

But how can Chen Li explain it? He can't tell these people that "system products must be high-quality products", right?

"I didn't buy it, it was a gift from my friend."

"The bait is not bought, he prepares it himself."

In desperation, Chen Li could only give this explanation, but even so, there was still a shameless man who went directly to Chen Li and asked for a small bag of bait.

Chen Li is not stingy either. As long as someone asks for it, he will give him as much as he wants.

But his generosity made brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Guoqiang very dissatisfied.

Because today's scenery is all given by this kid Chen Li.

It's strange to say~ If it were anything else, then the two Chen brothers would have absolutely no complaints about Chen Li's son or nephew being exposed in the limelight.

But when it came to fishing, the two brothers actually felt unconvinced.

After all, fishing could not catch their sons and nephews. This made the two Chen brothers feel very dissatisfied.

On the other hand, Chen Li's second uncle, this one is completely free of desires and needs. The reason why he came to fish was because he was subconsciously brought out by the two Chen brothers.

Well, of course, this is just him now.

This second uncle in his previous life often came to Western Xinjiang to escape the summer heat due to professional reasons.

So in fact, this man was also led to become a fisherman by Chen Guofu and Chen Guoqiang in his previous life.

Moreover, this person's fishing addiction was even greater than that of the Chen brothers.

The reason why I am not interested in fishing now is entirely because this man joined the Air Force today.

The fun of fishing is completely different before you actually catch the fish and after you catch the fish.

Especially when you catch a big fish that ordinary people have never caught in their lives, the sense of accomplishment is simply overwhelming.

This was the case with a friend of Chen Li's in his previous life. This guy had never fished before he was twenty-six years old.

Then the first time he went fishing was at a holy wild fishing spot that Chen Li took him to.

And I don’t know why this guy was so lucky. Not only did he catch a lot of fish that day, but he also caught a big grass carp weighing more than five pounds.

That is to say, after that fishing trip, this guy fell in love with fishing like crazy, and even went to find someone to become his disciple.

Later, this buddy's wife often complained to Chen Li, saying that Chen Li led him to a path of no return.

However, men from Sichuan Province have an advantage when it comes to fishing, that is, the opposition from their families is weaker than those from other places.

As for the reason, it actually has something to do with the fact that people in Sichuan Province love to play mahjong.

In the opinion of most wives in Sichuan Province, it is better for their husbands to go fishing than to play mahjong and fool around.

As long as men don't delay making money because of fishing, many wives are actually not that resistant to their men fishing.

Of course, fishermen shouldn’t go too far.

In the past life, some fishermen liked fishing, and their family relationships ended up being quite tense, and some even got divorced because of this.

Ultimately, it's still a bit too much.

When Chen Li was in Chengdu in his previous life, if he didn't drink much at work, he wouldn't go home after work. He would just go fishing in the Funan River with his fishing gear, and then fish until dawn, have breakfast, and then go back to rest.

And he has also seen some fishing guys who know how to fish day by day, don't care about anything at home, and don't make any money. This kind of thing is a bit unreasonable.

"You are bait~let me try it."

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, but there were still two or three anglers who no longer planned to fish and were ready to learn from Chen Li, a fishing master.

At this time, Chen Guofu started to take action.

Before, he was completely uninterested in the bait Chen Li prepared, and even sneered at it.

In his opinion, fishing or earthworms is king.

This kind of experience was accumulated by Chen Guofu in Erlong River.

But the fish resources of the Erlong River are completely incomparable to those of the Li River.

And earthworms are, to be honest, not very suitable for catching big fish.

The larger the fish, the more vegetarian their overall food habits will be, and they do not like to eat food with a strong fishy smell. Especially in the warm season, the fishing effect will be better if you use fish bait that is more vegetarian.

And the biggest disadvantage of earthworm fishing is that there is no atomization effect. When fishing with earthworms, the nesting speed is very slow and small fish enter the nest quickly, but the luring effect on big fish is very poor.

Hmm~ This theory was told by Chen Li from his friend's master in his previous life, and he doesn't know if it is true.

But one thing that can be confirmed is that when bait is used, the chance of catching a big fish is indeed much higher than the chance of catching a big fish with earthworms.

Chen Li feels that earthworms are quite good for fishing crucian carp. If you really want to catch carp, herring, grass carp or even larger sturgeon, you will naturally have to use bait.

But Chen Guofu naturally didn't understand this. Although his fishing experience was quite rich, it was based on the small river Erlong River.

In the Erlong River, a fish weighing more than one pound is considered a big fish.

So at the beginning, Chen Guofu didn't like Chen Li's big bag at all.

But the facts slapped Chen Guofu in the face.

Chen Guofu has been fishing in the Erlong River all his life, and he has never caught as many fish as Chen Li did this time.

Even in the early years, when the Erlong River was rich in fish resources and there were very few fishermen, he had never caught so many fish.

As for big fish weighing more than ten kilograms, Chen Guofu didn’t even see anyone catch them.

There is no other way~ Even for those fishermen in Erlong Town, even if they encounter such a big fish, their fishing gear will not support it.

In addition, most of the fish in the Erlong River are small, so the fishing lines and hooks we use are mostly prepared for these fish.

If you really encounter a big fish, it is impossible to pull up these fishing gears.

So~ Chen Guofu made a conscious mistake, so he caught a two-pound grass carp today.

He did meet a big fish before, but he didn't even see the shadow of the fish, and the line collapsed.

I have to say, the fish resources in this Li River are indeed quite abundant.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that it is still 1999.

Anyway, when Chen Li came to Licheng in Western Xinjiang in his previous life, although the fish resources in the Lihe River here were quite abundant, compared with what they were here in 1999, they were simply in the sky and on the ground.

Of course, if we compare now with thirty years ago, it is another extreme.

According to the father-in-law of Chen Li's second father, the fish resources in the Li River were so abundant that you could catch a big green sturgeon with an empty hook, which is also a naked-bellied sturgeon that is hard to find now.

Of course, this statement may be a bit exaggerated, but it does reflect how abundant the fish resources were at that time.

This thing is similar to what was described in a text that Chen Li learned when he was a child.

"Beat the roe deer with a stick and scoop up the fish with a gourd!"

Although that text described the Northeast region, it was used in Licheng at that time. In fact, it was similar.

Of course ~ memories of the past are always just the past.

Chen Li's leftover bait was divided between his old man and his second father, leaving only a small piece for Chen Li.

Chen Li hung up the bait skillfully and handed the fishing rod to Chen Xue after throwing it. He planned to take a rest.

To be honest, Chen Li is no longer as interested in fishing as he was in his previous life.

After all, in this era without much entertainment, Chen Li's only way to relax is to go fishing in the system space.

But it's different from the feeling in his previous life where he couldn't catch enough no matter how hard he fished. Now that Chen Li can enter the system space to fish at any time, he is less and less interested in fishing.

This time, if it weren't for the preliminary task of genetic improvement of fish that required him to catch it himself, Chen Li wouldn't be too lazy to go fishing.

And with his current fishing skills, Chen Li usually plays sea fishing in the system space.

Although the Li River is much larger than the Erlong River, it is still far behind compared to the sea.

It’s just that Chen Li fished for two hours, but he didn’t see any shadow of the naked sturgeon, which made Chen Li a little helpless.

It's not that Chen Li is impatient, but that he is worried that the living environment of the naked sturgeon will not be very good in 1999.

Although if Chen Li persists in fishing, he will be able to catch naked sturgeon sooner or later, but the time limit makes Chen Li very worried about this.

The most important thing is that he can't spend all his time fishing in the Plow River.

Therefore, Chen Li has already begun to plan to launch the second plan.

That is. Acquisition at a high price!

Although naked sturgeons have become rare in 1999, fishermen still catch a certain number of naked sturgeons every year.

As long as Chen Li offers a high price, he can still get access to the naked sturgeon.

Although Chen Li did not catch it himself, could Chen Li put the naked sturgeon into a pool and then catch it?

I just don't know if I can accomplish the task by doing this.

But regardless of whether it can be completed or not, Chen Li plans to give it a try.

Anyway, with his understanding of the system, if he occasionally finds a small loophole, the system won't actually care that much.

And just when Chen Xiang was thinking about how to complete the system tasks, he heard an exclamation coming from his ears.

"Brother~ Ouch!"

This shout, brother, was naturally called by Chen Xue, and with her shout, Chen Xue staggered due to the pulling force from the fishing rod.

Seeing Chen Xue slipping and falling towards the water, Chen Li quickly stepped forward to grab the fishing rod, supported Chen Xue and wiped the rope from Chen Xue's wrist with a smooth swipe.

Come down.

The quality of Chen Li's fishing gear is quite good, after all, it is produced by the system.

But the quality is so good, it is not all advantages. For example, at this time, if Chen Xue does not let go of the hand rope in time, it is very likely that the big fish will be hooked and dragged directly into the water.

Chen Li clenched the fishing rod with both hands, and with just this moment, he felt something was wrong.

This time the fish took the bait.

Very big!
