Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Zhang Yuan decided to solve the food problem first. There were many ways to do it, but in order not to attract attention and to make it explainable, he finally decided to go fishing in the suburban river.

Many of those who fish are old men, and there are very few people of Zhang Yuan's age who go fishing. If there are any, they probably come from families in financial difficulty and come out to supplement their income. So when Zhang Yuan arrived, except for being stared at for a while at the beginning, he just concentrated on fishing.

Zhang Yuan liked fishing since he was a child. After traveling through time, he often went fishing in the village. However, the system was not activated at that time, so the fishing skill did not appear. After Zhang Yuan picked up some materials and made a simple fishing rod, the system was activated and he obtained fishing level 1.

[Fishing experience +1]

[Fishing experience +1]

[Fishing experience +1]

......

Every time he pulled the rod, he would get experience prompts. In order to level up as quickly as possible, Zhang Yuan kept casting fish and then pulling the rod. Others just shook their heads and some even laughed at Zhang Yuan for not knowing how to fish.

It was not until the system prompted that his fishing skill had been upgraded that Zhang Yuan could feel the movement of the fishing rod and the sensitivity of the fish biting the hook more and more clearly.

When the feeling was getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Yuan suddenly lifted the rod and a black fish weighing about 1 jin was caught.

[Fishing experience +10]

It turns out that once the fish has taken the bait, he will have more experience. With this experience, Zhang Yuan fishes even harder.

Then at noon, Zhang Yuan's fishing skill had reached level 3 (13/500), and the experience required for upgrading was also more. At level 2, only 250 experience points were needed. It was estimated that at level 4, at least 1000 experience points would be needed. The higher the level, the higher the experience required.

But the harvest in the morning was not bad. He caught three kinds of fish, black carp, crucian carp and catfish. Among them, there were 1 fish weighing about 5 jin, 2 fish weighing 3 to 2 jin, and 5 fish weighing about 1 jin. It was not that Zhang Yuan did not want to fish, but the quality of his rod was too poor. When he caught the 5-jin black carp, the rod broke, so Zhang Yuan had to put away the rod and pack up to go home.

"Hello, young man."

Just when Zhang Yuan was about to leave, an old man stopped him.

Zhang Yuan asked: "Uncle, what can I do for you?"

The old man pointed at the 5-jin black fish and asked, "Young man, can you sell this fish to me?"

Zhang Yuan agreed immediately: "No problem, I also want to subsidize my fishing, but you decide how much you can give me. After all, if I charge too much, people will accuse me of speculation."

"Okay, I'll pay you according to the price without the meat ticket." The old man asked a man behind him to come over and pay.

"Here you go. It's 5 yuan and 5 cents in total. Please click."

"Okay." After Zhang Yuan got the money, he put it directly into his pocket and stored it in the storage space.

【Get 5 yuan and 5 cents. 】

Then Zhang Yuan handed the fish to the man.

"Well, sir, we are done. I will leave first."

Zhang Yuan said hello to the old man and left with the fish. When he reached a deserted path, he put the fish in the storage space. Then he asked people about the location of the trust store, where he planned to see if there were any fishing rods for sale.

Finally he found one, but the price was too high. In the end, Zhang Yuan chose a fishing rod that had been gathering dust in a corner for a long time. It cost him a total of 7 yuan, including the accessories. Now he only had 1 cents left in his pocket.

Zhang Yuan thought that he should continue fishing in the afternoon and then go to the pigeon market in the evening to exchange some money and food coupons.

He did what he said. By the evening, he had caught 9 fish. He kept a black fish weighing more than 3 kilograms and stored the rest together with the fish he caught in the morning.

When Zhang Yuan returned to the courtyard with the fish, Yan Bugui stopped him.

"Zhang Yuan, not bad. This fish weighs at least 3 kilograms, right? Where did you buy it?" Yan Bugui stared at the black fish in Zhang Yuan's hand with envy, thinking in his mind how to get some benefits from Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan said: "Uncle, please forgive me. I don't have the money to buy this. I caught it today."

Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses and looked at Zhang Yuan carefully, and asked doubtfully: "Did you catch it?"

Zhang Yuan raised the fishing rod in his other hand and replied, "Look, my fishing rods are all here. I went fishing in the suburban river early this morning."

Yan Bugui also believed Zhang Yuan's words, and followed his words, saying: "I like fishing, too. How about we make an appointment to go together some other day?"

Zhang Yuan agreed: "No problem, Uncle Third, don't complain that I caught more fish than you."

Yan Bugui said unconvincedly: "Nonsense, I am a fishing expert, how could I lose to you?"

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow morning and fish until the afternoon. Uncle San has nothing to do after school in the afternoon, so he can go find me there."

Yan Bugui grabbed Zhang Yuan who was about to go home and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to catch such a good fish. Your third aunt must know how to cook fish. Why don't you give the fish to me and let her cook it. You can come to our house later to eat it."

Zhang Yuan thought that if he went to his house to eat fish, he would probably think that the fish would be either short in weight or his family would fight over it. So he thought, forget it. It happened that he had cooking skills, so he could practice those skills at the same time. So, he refused on the spot.

However, Zhang Yuan thought of Yan Bugui again. He would have to deal with him frequently in the future, so he might as well invite him to eat fish together.

"Uncle, I can't finish this fish by myself. Why don't you come over later and we can eat together."

"Okay, I just happened to have half a bottle of wine left to drink, I'll bring it over later." Yan Bugui didn't expect that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel. At first, he felt cheated when he saw Zhang Yuan rejected his request, but he never expected that Zhang Yuan would treat him to fish. He immediately smiled and agreed.

Just when Yan Bugui wanted to run home and tell his wife not to cook for him so as not to waste firewood and water, he turned around and told Zhang Yuan something as soon as he took a step.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you just now. Lao Yi and the others came back just now and saw that your house was locked. Maybe he will come to see you in the next two days."

"looking for me?"

"It's your house that's locked!"

"What kind of thing is this? Can't I lock the door of my own house? Isn't he meddling too much?"

Seeing that Zhang Yuan didn't know the reason for what happened, Yan Bugui hurriedly explained to him. It turned out that after Yi Zhonghai came back from a meeting at the Street Office, in order to implement the spirit of the Street Office's documents and advocated the spirit of leaving doors unlocked at night and not picking up things on the streets, he required all residents in the courtyard to keep their doors unlocked. This regulation has been implemented for many years.

"Zhang Yuan, I think you understand. Because we do this, we are rated as an excellent and advanced courtyard every year, and the street office will give us rewards every year. So, Lao Yi came to you in the hope that you would not break the rules of our courtyard."

[Ding! New task released - Do you agree not to lock your door in the future? ]

[Choose yes - get an increased chance of the Thief's Stick visiting.]

[Choose No—Yi Zhonghai's friendliness level will be reduced by 20.]

For the two choices, Zhang Yuan decisively chose [No] and disagreed with this rule. There were not many valuable things in the house, and if they were to be targeted by thieves, that would be terrible. There was no reason to guard against thieves every day.
