Chapter 16 Great harvest, selling fish, giving fish away

 The winter in Sijiucheng is really very cold. Wang Yue feels that it is much colder than the winter in later generations.

He tightened his coat and put on his hat, but he still felt a chill.

It's like living in the Ice Age.

The wind was howling and it was extremely cold. Wang Yue was carrying an iron bucket and a bamboo fishing rod in his hand. These were all things he bought from the exchange mall.

Not only that, among the iron buckets he carried was a hoe specially used to break ice.

Yes, he went out at noon just to fish.

Because he did not have a bicycle, Wang Yue could only walk out of the alley first, and then take a bus out of the city.

After almost an hour, Wang Yue finally arrived at Yongding River.

The Yongding River is the largest river flowing through the Gyeonggi region and the largest tributary of the Haihe River system.

There are five major river systems around Sijiu City, namely the Daqing River system in the south, the Yongding River system in the west and central-south, the Wenyu River-Beiyun River system in the central and southeast, the Chaobai River system in the northeast and east, and the Ji River system in the east.

Canal water system.

The closest one, besides the moat, is the Yongding River.

And here, in this era, there are abundant fishery resources, and it is also the most convenient place for fishing in Sijiu City.

On the river bank again, Wang Yue saw that the entire river had been frozen, and there were many people fishing on the ice.

"This ice layer is at least 40 centimeters thick, so it should be safe."

Wang Yue observed the shape of the river and found a bend that seemed to be more curved. It was shaped like a figure eight and there should be fish gathering there.

He did what he said, and after a lot of effort, he finally dug an ice hole about fifty centimeters in diameter into the ice. After a rough estimate, the ice was at least fifty centimeters thick.

I took some water, fermented the bait bought from the exchange mall, and then threw a piece of bait about the size of my fist into the water.

Just a minute after he dropped it, Wang Yue saw something white appearing about two or three meters below.

"There are indeed fish!"

Before time travel, Wang Yue was considered a fisherman. During the epidemic, he often drove to other provinces to fish, so how could he not know that those white things are the white scales on the fish’s belly?

Because the weather was cold, he put the bait in a bag in his pocket, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use it for a while.

As soon as I dropped the hook, suddenly, a strong force came from the fishing line.

"We caught a fish!"

Wang Yue was overjoyed and immediately held the fishing rod tightly, although the fishing rod looked very fragile, as if it would be broken immediately.

But Wang Yue knew that good things were added to this fishing rod, which not only had good toughness, but also he had read the introduction and said that as long as the fish weighing no more than 100 kilograms, it would not be possible to break this fishing rod.

In this way, Wang Yue held the fishing rod tightly and held on for about ten minutes. He felt that his body was getting hot, and then he caught a fish weighing about 8 kilograms.

"Hiss!"

When he saw this fish, Wang Yue's eyes couldn't help but light up. It was a grass carp, and it was very fat.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Wang Yue took off the fishhook, threw it on the ice, and then tied it with a line.

Not long after he threw the second shot, the grass carp on the ice had been frozen into popsicles and hard.

As for why he didn't put it in a bucket, the reason is very simple, that is, the bucket is not big. If it were placed in a bucket, it would probably not be able to fit the other two.

After about ten minutes, the second fish was hooked. This time the fish was smaller, and the fishing rod was not afraid of being broken, and the fishing line was 4.0, so I just went for it.

This fish is not too big, only more than three kilograms, and strictly speaking it is not too small.

Time and time again, in one afternoon, Wang Yue had more than 20 fish piled next to him, the small ones weighing about one kilogram, and the big ones weighing twelve or three kilograms.

After taking a look at the sky and guessing that it was getting dark soon, Wang Yue put away the fishing rod and threw all the unused bait into the water.

I cut a wooden stick about 1.5 meters long on the shore and skewered the fish one day at a time before taking the fishing rod and leaving.

Not long after leaving, Wang Yue met some old men from the Air Force. They looked at the fish on Wang Yue's shoulders and were immediately surprised. They quickly ran over and asked Wang Yue: "Man, you caught these fish by yourself."

?"

Wang Yue smiled and nodded: "Yes, I was lucky today, so I caught more than 20 fish."

"That's awesome, man. You won't be able to finish all the fish. Why don't you sell us a few? You can explain it to your family when you go back." One of the old men said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, the other four old men nodded in agreement and asked Wang Yue to sell them a few.

Seeing that they were too enthusiastic, Wang Yue did not refuse. Since there was no scale, he could only sell by the piece.

"Then you can choose for yourself. I believe you won't treat me badly." Wang Yue said with a smile.

"Hahaha, gentlemen, it's the style of us Sijiucheng people to be cheerful."

At first, the old man selling fish laughed and praised him, and then he picked three fish, which weighed about 15 kilograms. The old man handed over a five-dollar bill and said with a smile: "These three fish are about 15 kilograms.

, I’ll give you 3.5 cents per pound. If you suffer a little loss, how about 5 yuan?”

Wang Yue nodded in agreement. The price was not low, and the money was given so readily, so naturally he would not disagree.

"Okay, thank you for taking care of my business." Wang Yue took the money and handed over the three fish the old man selected.

"Hahaha, you can go back and pay the errand." The old man took the money and laughed, looking really good.

Seeing that this old man had done it, the other four old men also quickly picked out the fish.

They had picked about 15 kilograms of fish, but then they saw that the largest one had also been picked, earning another twenty yuan. Wang Yue happily collected the money, and then handed over the fish they picked.

He suddenly lost more than 70 kilograms, and Wang Yue was very happy. There were still about 40 kilograms of fish left, and he was not going to buy it. He put them all in a bucket, threw the stick aside, and then he was happy

I took the bus back to the city.

After getting off the car, it was already dark. Wang Yue carried a bucket and a fishing rod and walked towards the alley. He happened to meet a man who was off work at the moment.

"Hey, Wang Yue, did you go fishing this afternoon?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a smile.

"Yes, sir, I went fishing outside the city today and just came back. If you don't mind, you can take one back. Although these fish have been frozen hard, they are still fresh." Wang Yue didn't care, it was just a fish.

, if you can bribe and live in Yizhonghai, it will still be very cost-effective.

"You're a nice guy. I don't like fish, but the old lady in the backyard likes it. Let's just give it away. I'll buy one. You can pick one and give it to me. I'll make some soup for her!" Yi

As Zhong Hai spoke, he took out two dollars from his pocket.

Seeing that he really wanted to buy it, Wang Yue didn't accept the money. He just put down the iron bucket, picked out a grass carp weighing about four kilograms a day and handed it over.

Then he said with a smile: "Master, we are all neighbors. If you give me money, forget it. I will give this fish to the old lady!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was a little surprised. Two yuan is a lot of money. Many people can't make so much in two days.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yue was no longer stupid, but still refused.

Seeing that he really refused to accept money, Yi Zhonghai patted Wang Yue on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will accept your kindness. I will tell the old lady when the time comes, and she will definitely remember your kindness."Chapter completed!
