Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 52 Surprise
Looking at the fishing skills on the panel, there was still no level, so Yang Xiaotao began to upgrade his fishing skills.

After spending 20 credits, the fishing skills were quickly upgraded to the first level.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the fishing skill has been upgraded to the first level. A pair of golden fishing rods will be rewarded, and ten catties of national food stamps will be rewarded every month."

"what?"

Yang Xiaotao sat up from the bed suddenly, carefully watching the prompt.

That's right, every month.

"I rely on!"

Yang Xiaotao swears directly. You must know that he has become a second-level fitter, and the monthly food stamps of the factory are only 24 catties, of which only seven or eight catties are fine grains, but now with these ten catties of national food stamps, Not only was there an extra 20 catties of white flour, but also more than [-] catties of coarse grains.

More importantly, this national food stamp can be exchanged for cooking oil, which is a tight commodity.

"Earn it, earn it."

Yang Xiaotao couldn't help being overjoyed. Looking at Fishing Technique, he thought that this sub-skill was an accessory, just for fishing, but he didn't expect such a surprise.

Looking at the fishing rod in hand, it is not golden, but a dark green color similar to a bamboo pole. It feels cold to the touch, but it feels extremely comfortable to hold.

Gold Fishing Rod: High-grade fishing gear from deep-sea fishing games. It not only has strong toughness, is not easy to be damaged, but also has a certain chance of attracting fish and increasing the success rate.

"It's really good stuff."

"However, that's it for the first level, what about the second level?"

Thinking of this, and looking at the credits, there are still more than 200, which should be enough.

In an instant, fifty credits were consumed.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the fishing skill has been upgraded to the second level. A monthly reward of ten catties of national food stamps and ten yuan in money."

"As expected, as expected!"

Holding the sudden extra [-] catties of national food stamps and [-] yuan in his hand, he was inexplicably excited.

Although it's only an increase of ten yuan, it can't stand it every month.

And this is the second level, so wouldn't the third level be better?
In the future, if the level is raised to level seven or eight, will it be possible to eat well without going to work?
"It's really reading to solve food and clothing, hahaha..."

Seeing how powerful his fishing skills are, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to continue lying dead at home, so he got up calmly, took Xiaowei and went out.

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

First, he asked if he had received the book, but he didn't get any results. This also made Yang Xiaotao understand that he still had to rely on the library to read books in the future.

He took out a box of spring plowing, which Yang Xiaotao bought on purpose last time, just to make things easier for him.

Give one to Huang Daniu, this line still needs to be maintained, and there is no telling when you can get good things.

Leaving the recycle bin and coming to a place where no one is around, Yang Xiaotao took out the fishing rod, checked it out and then walked quickly, and soon came to the West Sea.

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

When we came to Houhai, many people were already sitting there and started fishing.

Looking at the fishing rods one by one, Yang Xiaotao felt that he came too hastily.

I only have a fishing rod in my hand, but I don’t have a bucket or bait.

Not to mention the sitting horses, they can't squat on the ground.

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

At this time, I can only think of a way.

There is no fish bucket, so it is easy to solve. When I used to catch fish, I just found a branch to skewer the fish quickly.

Bait, this is also easy, run to the side of the tree and lift the stones, 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 size of a country stone mill. It might be too heavy, and no one moved it by the side, so it happened to be moved over.

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

Standing on the shore, holding the fishing rod with both hands, the experience of swinging came to mind, and then followed the feeling in my heart, with both arms, the float and the hook were thrown out straight, and fell into the water with a bang.

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

Through the fishing line, Yang Xiaotao could feel that the bait was constantly being pulled, and the float was shaking a little bit, making circles of ripples.

The second-level fishing experience told him that the fish hadn't bit the hook yet.

Yang Xiaotao waited quietly, but after a while, the float disappeared.

Raise your hand to pick up the pole, the fishing hook is empty, and the earthworms have long since disappeared.

"These fish have gained experience from being caught."

Yang Xiaotao reloaded the bait and threw it into the water.

"My second-level fishing skills are not jealous."

Seeing that the float was nodding again, Yang Xiaotao pulled it out forcefully without thinking.

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

Apparently the fish was caught but not hooked.

"Come again!"

Repeat baiting, repeat pulling the line.

After more than ten times in a row, my arms didn't feel tired, but my heart was tired.

"Sure enough, it's level two!"

Yang Xiaotao understood that this fishing technique was still too low, several times he obviously felt that he caught a fish, but he just couldn't catch it.

"Fishing is indeed a job that tests patience."

The weather is not bad, and the afternoon sun is not strong, Yang Xiaotao wanted to rest at first, so let's continue here.

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

It was empty again.

"No way! You die before you get out of the battle. This is the first time that you've mobilized a lot of people to fish. If you can't catch it, isn't that a blow to your enthusiasm?"

Yang Xiaotao was a little reconciled, he was already at the second level of fishing, and he still couldn't catch fish?
"No wonder they give me something every month. If I rely on this fishing technique to live, I think I'm afraid of starving to death."

Yang Xiaotao thought maliciously, and saw the green aquatic plants, rising and falling with the current.

"what?"

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao thought of an idea.

"Xiaowei."

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

Yang Xiaotao was pleasantly surprised. After asking just now, Xiaowei could control the plants in the water as well. However, because her 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 to this side.

In fact, it is nesting in disguise.

If one or two fish cannot be caught, the group of fish will always meet some stupid ones.

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

These guys hadn't recovered from the severe winter, and they were driven out just in time to find food.

Yang Xiaotao was looking at the float at this moment, holding the fishing rod with both hands, exerting strength at any time.

Popo
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the float plunged into the water.

"Finally hooked."

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

Yang Xiaotao immediately raised the pole, and the fishing line was tightened.

"It's quite powerful!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't have any extra thread, so he could only tease the fish with all his strength. Fortunately, after the bamboo pole was strengthened by Xiaowei, although it was bent under pressure, it did not break.

"This fish is not small."

Watching the fish struggling in the water, going east for a while, going west for a while, and still coming out of the water for a while.If the fishing line was not strong enough, Yang Xiaotao would be a little worried.

Several fishing people around also noticed the situation, but they didn't say anything, and they were still doing their own things.

They also saw that Yang Xiaotao kept taking the bait before, and most of the people who came here knew each other. With a new face like Yang Xiaotao and a novice, everyone would just be dumbfounded and have nothing to do fishing.

Seeing the stupefied green biting the hook, even though he didn't come over, he still watched to see if the young boy could pull the fish up.

Yang Xiaotao, however, was concentrating on it, teasing the fish non-stop according to experience, and pulling it hard from time to time, so that the fish had no time to rest, and continued to earn and consume energy.

In less than 5 minutes, Yang Xiaotao felt that the struggle on the fishing line was much less, so Yang Xiaotao tried to reel in the line.

A professional fishing rod is easy.

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

Finally dragged the fish out of the water, Yang Xiaotao was pleasantly surprised when he saw that the body of the overturned fish was one foot long.

"Come up to me."

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Xiaotao raised his arms.

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

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

"I'll go, this fish weighs three or four catties?"

"It's at least four catties, and it's still silver carp. It's rare at this time."

Just as Yang Xiaotao knocked the fish out and took out a branch to pass through the gills of the fish, a few elderly people stood beside him.

They were also shocked by the big fish.

"Good luck, lad."

Some people felt that Yang Xiaotao looked like a beginner at first glance, and that he was able to catch such a big fish could only be attributed to luck.

Yang Xiaotao put the fish away, smiled at them, and continued fishing.

One fish is enough to eat, but in this age when meat is not available, wouldn't the more fish the better?
A few old people left after seeing it, and wanted 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 a carp again, but it was only a little over three catties.

After a while, there was another silver carp, bigger this time, and it took more than half an hour of tossing under the water before pulling the fish up.

At first glance, it was more than half a meter in size and weighed at least ten catties.

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

Several elderly people around were dumbfounded.

This luck is too bad.

You can catch a big fish weighing more than ten catties. Really, people can't be judged by their appearances.

As soon as Yang Xiaotao left, the big rock in place was immediately occupied by an old man wearing glasses.

Yang Xiaotao who hadn't gone far could vaguely hear the noise behind him, but he didn't care.

It was getting late, and it was time to go home to eat fish.
