He untied the small stool and placed it on the ground. Lin Yi calmly fiddled with the fishing gear.
After everything was done, he threw the hook out under He Yushui's expectant gaze.
Fishing wasn't something that could be rushed.
He Yushui naturally knew, so she enjoyed the warm winter morning sun and sat beside Lin Yi. For some reason, she felt at ease.
"Lin Yi, didn't you tell my brother to keep his distance from Qin Huiru? Then why are you still so good to Little Dang and Little Flower Tree?”
He Yushui held her chin and turned to ask Lin Yi.
"The little girls are hungry and want to eat. Give them something to eat. It has nothing to do with Qin Huairu.”
"Then why didn't you let him in?”
"He's not my son. If he wants to call me father, what's wrong with me giving him a bowl of noodles?”
Lin Yi said righteously.
"Pfft, if a great joke calls you father, isn't his mother your wife? Don't tell me you want to marry Qin Huairu!”
He Yushui raised her eyebrows.
Lin Yi looked at He Yushui speechlessly.
"Rainwater, I'm just a seventeen-year-old boy. Why would I fancy a widow?”
Besides, even if I like her, I can't tell you!
Otherwise, there was no need to fish today.
Of course, he did not say the latter sentence because Lin Yi felt his fishing rod sink slightly.
"Don't talk, I've taken the bait!"
As Lin Yi spoke, he slowly began to hang up.
This set of fishing gear was not high-end, but even though it was the cheapest, the quality was excellent.
It was much more reliable than the fishing rods of the old men beside him.
Not long after, Lin Yi raised his fishing rod. A grass carp that was more than a foot long was hanging on the hook. It wriggled its body as if it wanted to break free from the hook.
"Haha! I caught it, I caught it!"
When He Yushui saw that she had caught a fish, she jumped around Lin Yi excitedly and cheered.
"Stop jumping. Take the fishing net and bring the fish over.”
"Oh!"
He Yushui picked up the fishing net on the ground and went over to collect the fish.
Such a big fish was enough for the whole family to eat for a few days.
There were not many bones in the grass carp, so it was a good choice to bring back such fresh grass carp, whether it was pickled fish or braised in soy sauce.
There was too little meat these days. If they could eat a fish, it would almost be considered the new year.
He Yushui was better off. He Yuzhu worked in the kitchen and could eat some meat dishes every once in a while.
However, Qin Huairu and her family were shameless!
Every time He Yuzhu brought back delicious food, it would be carried back by the stick before He Yuzhu could reach home.
Or perhaps, they couldn't even enter the house and were intercepted by Qin Huairu, who had specially washed the clothes in the courtyard and waited for He Yuzhu to return.
He Yu Shui was happy 2
"Lin Yi, this fish is so heavy, hehe!”
"Hey, don't be happy. Don't forget our bet. I caught a fish. You have to do whatever I tell you to do.”
Lin Yi said to He Yushui with a wicked smile on his face.
"Hmph, then tell me, what do you want me to do? I'll serve you like an ox or a horse.”
"That's not necessary. We'll talk about it when we get back. Hehe, don't go back on your word when the time comes.”
"I won't."
As he spoke, Lin Yi hung the fish food he bought from the system store on the fishing hook. After he finished the line, he threw the fishing hook out again.
This bait was specially made and was very attractive to fish. Otherwise, how could Lin Yi be so confident in catching fish?
People were poor these days and could not afford meat.
Those who could raise chickens and ducks in the city raised them, but they were reluctant to eat meat and kept them for eggs.
Therefore, the things in the river became very popular. They got a fishing rod and ran over to fish. If they caught anything, they would eat meat. If they couldn't catch anything, they would treat it as a way to relax.
This was also why the people who came here to fish were all old men.
The young people were all working in the factory, fighting for the great construction of the motherland.
Not long after he hooked, the fishing rod moved again. Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and began to reel in the line.
When the fish was biting the bait, he could not pull the line suddenly. That way, it was very likely that the fish would be unhooked. He had to wait for the fish to bite firmly before pulling the fish up.
Not long after, another big grass carp was caught by Lin Yi.
"Ah! This fish is so big!"
He Yushui, who was sitting beside Lin Yi, cheered excitedly when he saw the grass carp that Lin Yi had fished out of the water.
The surrounding old men could not sit still anymore. They stood up and walked over to join in the fun.
He had already caught a big fish just now. It had only been a while, and another one had come!
They had been sitting for a long time, but they had not even caught a single fry!
When they saw the half-meter-long grass carp that Lin Yi had caught, they were all extremely envious.
Lin Yi noticed this and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Girl, you look like you haven't seen the world. This fish is also called big!”
Liu Weiguo was dumbfounded 5
Li Erniu was dumbfounded 5
Zhao Sanshu was dumbfounded 10
……
"F * ck! This young man, it was easy for him to speak! Isn't such a big fish big?"
He Yushui was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Yi to say that. He pouted in confusion, but his movements weren't slow. He took the fishing net and put the big grass carp in.
Because the fish was too big, it was difficult for He Yushui to catch the net.
Lin Yi was worried that she wouldn't be able to catch it, so he hurriedly got up to help.
"Hehe, how is it? I'm amazing, right? This fish is at least ten catties.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Amazing. It's so big. It's too amazing!”
He Yushui gave him a thumbs up and praised him. Her big eyes sparkled as she looked at the big fish in the fishing net.
It was not that she had never seen a big fish before, but she had never seen one that was more than half a meter long.
Such a big fish would have been caught long ago.
The bucket that he had prepared earlier was a little too small. After putting the big fish in, the bucket could not hold it anymore.
"The bucket is too small. How about this? We'll catch a few more fish and go back. We'll stew fish for dinner.”
Lin Yi looked at the bucket and frowned.
"Sure, I want to eat braised fish."
Lin Yi grinned." Such a big fish is enough for you to eat for a few meals. Braised fish, spicy fish, pickled fish, steamed fish. I'll let you eat as much as you want."”
Lin Yi's voice was not soft, and the surrounding old men swallowed their saliva when they heard it.
Liu Weiguo Envy 1
Li Erniu Envy 2
Zhao Sanshu Envy 2
……
After taking off the hook, Lin Yi threw the fish into the bucket and baited it again.
Swoosh!
He threw the fishing rod out. Just as he sat down, Lin Yi felt the fishing rod sink.
"D * mn, he took the bait just like that!"
Lin Yi exclaimed, and the surrounding old men were all dumbfounded!
No way! Only then did he take the bait!
When did fish become so easy to fish?
Then, Lin Yi started to hang up.
After a while, a small fish about half a catty was caught.
Looking at the fish on the hook, Lin Yi pursed his lips.
"Aiya, this fish is too small."
The surrounding old men: "???"
Then, Lin Yi removed the fish from the hook and threw it back into the river.
The old men were dumbfounded 10
"This young man is here to provoke us!”
……
Following that, Lin Yi caught another seven fish. Two big fish weighed more than ten catties, four slightly smaller fish weighed six to seven catties, and one small fish weighed more than two catties.
The bucket could no longer hold any more fish. In the end, Lin Yi had no choice but to exchange the two-pound fish for an old man's bucket before putting it down.
When Lin Yi left, the surrounding old men who were fishing almost started fighting because of the place where Lin Yi was fishing.
It was simply a land of Feng Shui!
"Xiao Yu, what do you want to eat for lunch?”
On the way back, Lin Yi pushed the cart and asked He Yushui with a smile.
He Yushui carried the fishing gear on her back and held the bucket in the backseat. She thought for a moment.
"I still want to eat the noodles you cooked this morning.”
"Noodles? How about fish? Shall I steam some rice for you?"
"Steamed rice!"
He Yushui's eyes lit up.
During this period, there was no hybrid rice, and the yield of rice was very low.
Therefore, they rarely ate rice here. They mostly ate kaoliang or cornmeal.
In the 1960s, the country's rice production was more than 80 million tons, wheat was less than 15 million tons, and even fewer were sorghums and millet, only three or four million tons.
Millet was millet.
With such a low production, it was no wonder that the entire country was rationed.
Because it was not enough to eat!
Because of the low production of kaoliang, the country had restricted the production of kaoliang wine. Therefore, kaoliang wine was especially expensive at that time!
Lin Yi looked at his Emotional Value.
In the morning, those little old men had been greatly stimulated by him, and they had actually provided more than 100 Emotional Value.
A total of 360 Emotional Value was just enough to raise his cooking skills to Level 3!
