Scholars in the courtyard

Seeing that the fishing skill on the panel still had no level, Yang Xiaotao began to upgrade the fishing skill.

After spending 20 points, his fishing skills were soon upgraded to the first level.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, your fishing skills have been upgraded to the first level. You will be rewarded with a pair of gold fishing rods and ten kilograms of national food stamps every month."

"What?"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly sat up from the bed and read the prompts carefully.

That’s right, every month.

"Holy shit!"

Yang Xiaotao immediately swore. You must know that he has become a second-level fitter, and the factory's monthly food stamps are only 24 kilograms, of which only seven or eight kilograms of refined grains. But now with these ten kilograms of national food stamps, Not only are there ten more kilograms of white flour, but they can also be converted into more than twenty kilograms of whole grains.

More importantly, these national food stamps can be exchanged for cooking oil, which is a hot commodity.

"Earned it, earned it."

Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but be happy. Looking at the fishing skill, he thought that this sub-skill was just an accessory and was used for fishing. He didn't expect such a surprise.

Looking at the fishing rod that appeared on hand, it was not gold, but a green color similar to a bamboo rod. It felt cold to the touch, but it felt extremely comfortable to hold.

Gold fishing rod: A high-end fishing gear from the deep-sea fishing game. It not only has strong toughness and is not easily damaged, but also has a certain chance of attracting fish schools and increases the success rate.

"It's indeed a good thing."

"But that's it for level one, what about level two?"

Thinking of this, I looked at the credits and saw that there were still more than two hundred, which should be enough.

In an instant, fifty points of credits are consumed.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, your fishing skills have been upgraded to level two. You will be rewarded with ten kilograms of national food stamps and ten yuan in money every month."

"Sure enough, it's true!"

Holding the suddenly extra twenty kilograms of national food stamps and ten yuan in my hand, I felt inexplicably excited.

Although it is only an increase of ten yuan, it cannot be tolerated every month.

And this is the second level. Would the third level be better?

In the future, if the level is raised to level 7 or 8, will it mean that I can eat well without having to go to work?

"Studying is really the way to have enough food and clothing, hahaha..."

Seeing that his fishing skills were so good, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to continue lying dead at home. He got up calmly and walked out with Xiaowei.

Anyway, it was on his way, so Yang Xiaotao went to the recycling bin and found Huang Daniu.

First, he asked if he had received any books, but found nothing. This also made Yang Xiaotao understand that he would still have to rely on the library for reading in the future.

He took out a box of spring plowing, which Yang Xiaotao bought specially last time, just to make it easier for someone to do the work.

Give one to Huang Daniu. This line still needs to be maintained. There is no telling when good things will be available.

After leaving the recycling bin and coming to a deserted place, Yang Xiaotao took out the fishing rod, checked it, and walked quickly, and soon arrived at the West Sea.

There are six seas in the entire Sijiu City, and the West Sea is the closest to their courtyard, which is why Yan Fugui and others came here after get off work.

When we arrived at Houhai, many people were already sitting there and starting fishing.

Looking at the fishing rods set up one by one, Yang Xiaotao felt that he had come in too hasty.

I only had a fishing rod in my hand, no fishing bucket, and no bait prepared.

Not to mention Mazhazi who is sitting, he can't squat on the ground.

Yang Xiaotao looked around and saw that there were people fishing not far away, and the equipment they brought was naturally complete.

At this time, we can only think of a solution.

There is no fish bucket, which is easy to solve. When catching fish in the past, just find a branch to string the fish on.

Bait, this is also easy, just run to the tree and lift up the rocks, and you will definitely catch earthworms.

As for the place to sit, Yang Xiaotao looked around and found a big stone, which was about the same size as a stone mill in the countryside. It might be too heavy, and no one was touching it on the side, so he just moved it here for use.

So, under a big willow tree, Yang Xiaotao moved the big stone, tore the earthworms into short pieces and hung them on the fishhook.

Standing on the shore, holding the fishing rod in both hands, the experience of swinging emerged in my mind, and then following the feeling in my heart, I used my arms hard, and the float and the hook were thrown straight out, and fell into the water with a splash.

Then he sat on the stone, put the fishing rod aside, and looked at the floating fish float on the water.

Through the fishing line, Yang Xiaotao can feel that the bait is constantly being pulled, and the fish float is also shaking a little, making circles of ripples.

Second-level fishing experience told him that the fish had not bitten the hook yet.

Yang Xiaotao waited quietly, but after a while, the fish float stopped moving.

I raised my hand to lift the rod, but the fishing hook was empty, and the earthworms were long gone.

“These fish have been caught out of experience.”

Yang Xiaotao loaded the bait again and threw it into the water.

"I'm not jealous of my second-level fishing skills."

Seeing the fish bobber nodding again, Yang Xiaotao pulled it out without thinking.

There was a resistance on the fishing line, and the next second it left the water, and the hook was still empty.

Obviously, the fish was caught just now, but not hooked.

"Come again!"

Repeat loading the bait and pulling the line repeatedly.

After doing it more than ten times in a row, my arms didn’t feel tired, but my heart felt tired.

"It's indeed level two!"

Yang Xiaotao understood that his fishing skills were still too low. He felt like he had caught a fish several times, but he just couldn't catch it.

"Fishing is indeed a job that tests your patience."

The weather was okay and the afternoon sun wasn't too strong. Yang Xiaotao wanted to rest, so he might as well continue here.

When he was bored, he looked at the fish float and nodded again, then pulled it up casually.

Empty again.

"No way! You will die before you start. If you don't catch anything this is your first fishing trip, wouldn't it dampen your enthusiasm?"

Yang Xiaotao was a little reluctant. He was already a second-level fisherman, but he still couldn't catch any fish?

"No wonder they give me something every month. I have to rely on this fishing technique to make a living. I guess I'm afraid of starving to death."

Yang Xiaotao thought maliciously, his eyes seeing green water plants rising and falling with the water flow.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao thought of an idea.

"Xiaowei."

Calling softly in his heart, a small head emerged from under the big willow tree on one side, and then under Yang Xiaotao's instructions, the small head disappeared again.

Yang Xiaotao was pleasantly surprised. After asking just now, he found that Xiaowei could also control plants in the water. However, because his body was too small and the underwater situation was unknown, Yang Xiaotao refused Xiaowei's request to enter the water.

Just let her control the grass roots in the water on the shore and drive the fish this way.

In fact, it is a disguised form of nesting.

If you can't catch one or two fish, then the group of fish will always encounter the stupid one.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao saw the aquatic plants in the water swaying neatly, and vaguely saw the big fish dormant in the water being driven out, and then scurrying around in a hurry.

These guys have not yet recovered from the harsh winter, and they were driven out in search of food.

Yang Xiaotao was looking at the fish float at this time, holding the fishing rod with both hands, ready to use force at any time.

Bobo

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the fish bobber plunged into the water.

"Finally took the bait."

The force coming from the fishing rod must have been solid this time.

Yang Xiaotao immediately raised the rod and the fishing line was tightened.

"It's quite powerful!"

Yang Xiaotao had no extra thread, so he could only tease the fish hard. Fortunately, after Xiaowei strengthened the bamboo pole, although it was bent, it did not break.

"This fish is not small."

Watching the fish keep struggling in the water, sometimes moving east and sometimes west, and sometimes emerging from the water. If the fishing line wasn't strong enough, Yang Xiaotao would be a little worried.

Several people fishing around also noticed the situation, but they didn't make any noise and continued to do their own thing.

They had also seen Yang Xiaotao constantly setting hooks before, and most of the people who came here knew each other. With a new face like Yang Xiaotao, everyone just looked at him as a fool, just fishing with nothing to do.

Seeing the stupid young man biting the hook, although he didn't come over, he still watched to see if the young boy could drag the fish up.

Yang Xiaotao was concentrating on it, and kept teasing the fish according to his experience, and pulled hard from time to time, so that the fish had no time to rest and continued to fight and consume its energy.

Less than five minutes later, Yang Xiaotao felt that the struggle on the fishing line had become much weaker, so Yang Xiaotao tried to reel in the line.

Professional fishing rods save trouble.

"I'll go, it's so big!"

After finally dragging the fish out of the water, Yang Xiaotao was immediately pleasantly surprised when he saw that the overturned fish body was one foot long.

"Come up here."

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Xiaotao raised his arms.

With a pull, a big fish was thrown to the shore. Its huge size and weight bounced on the ground twice, and its tail was still swaying.

Yang Xiaotao threw the fishing rod away and immediately went up to hold it with his hands.

"I'll go, this fish can't weigh more than three or four pounds?"

"At least four pounds, and it's still silver carp, which is rare at this time."

Just as Yang Xiaotao knocked the fish unconscious and took out a branch and passed it through the fish's gills, several old people stood nearby.

They were also shocked by this big fish.

"Good luck young man."

Some people lamented that Yang Xiaotao looked like a beginner at first glance, and that he could only catch such a big fish because of luck.

Yang Xiaotao put the fish away, smiled at a few people, and then continued fishing.

One fish is enough to eat, but in this age where meat is not available, wouldn’t the more fish the better?

Several old people saw it and left, hoping to catch a big fish so as not to be looked down upon by the young people.

Yang Xiaotao continued to throw the hook, and Xiaowei on the shore controlled the plants again, and this time the range was wider.

Half an hour later, Yang Xiaotao pulled up another carp, but it was only a little over three kilograms.

After a while, there was another silver carp, this time bigger. It took more than half an hour of tossing under the water before the fish was pulled up with force.

At first glance, it was over half a meter tall and weighed at least ten kilograms.

Skillfully stringing the three fish together with branches, he packed up the fishing rods, washed his hands at the water's edge, took Xiaowei with him, and walked to the courtyard with the three big fish.

Several old people around him were stunned.

This kind of luck is too incredible.

You can catch fish weighing more than ten kilograms. It’s true that you can’t judge a person by his appearance.

As soon as Yang Xiaotao left, the big stone on the spot was immediately occupied by an old man wearing glasses.

Yang Xiaotao, who hadn't gone far, vaguely heard the noise behind him, but didn't pay much attention.

It's getting late and it's time to go home and eat fish.
