When they arrived at Shichahai, it was already an hour later.
The sun was already high in the sky, and the temperature was rising.
The weather was a little hot.
Around Shichahai, there were already many people who had taken up fishing positions.
Those who came to fish were basically retired old men or idle people who did not have a job.
After all, it was a labor wave now. All the workers who had jobs were working overtime in the factory now. How could they have time to come here to fish?
Lin Xiao was walking along the shore of the Shichahai, trying to find a good fishing spot.
Soon, he saw an old man packing up his fishing rod and gear at a good location. He was probably planning to leave.
Lin Xiao quickly walked up and greeted,""Sir, are you closing your stall?”
The old man's hair was white, and he was smoking. He was wearing a gray tunic suit with several patches on it.
This was also a feature of the era.
Due to the scarcity of cloth, each family was given very few cloth tickets. Many people could not change into a new set of clothes for a few years, so there was a doggerel that said new clothes for three years, old clothes for three years, and sewing and mending clothes for three years.
When a family or friend got married, if you gave them a blanket, it would be considered a big gift.
Lin Xiao didn't dare to underestimate this old man.
At the foot of the emperor, the water was shallow and there were many turtles.
Who knew if he was a retired big shot?
Moreover, although the old man was dressed plainly, there was a young man in brand new clothes behind him. He was carrying a fish bucket. Looking at the young man's standing posture, he looked like a soldier.
In Lin Xiao's mind, the word 'guard' popped up.
Lin Xiao didn't care if the old man was a real big shot or just an ordinary person. He didn't dare to neglect him.
It was better to be cautious in the world.
He would not lose out.
The old man in the tunic suit blew out a smoke ring, shook his head, and sighed.""It's too hot, and the fish don't even open their mouths. I've been fishing for a long time, but I haven't caught a single fish. My back hurts from sitting, so I plan to go back.”
"Sir, you didn't give this position to anyone else, right? Can you give it to me?" Lin Xiao quickly said.”
The grandpa packed up the fishing gear and said,"Are you here to fish too? Then you can fish here."
Lin Xiao quickly thanked him and walked up to him. He put an earthworm on the hook and started fishing.
The old man packed his things and did not leave. He stood at the side and said,"Young man, I don't have any other hobbies. I just like fishing. Now that I'm old, I can't sit still anymore. Will I disturb you by standing here and watching you fish?”
Lin Xiao smiled and shook her head." Sir, look at what you're saying. You're standing on the shore. How can you disturb me while I'm fishing? I'm more than happy to hear that you're willing to chat with me!”
The grandpa nodded and looked at the fishing rod in Lin Xiao's hand. He sighed and said,""You brat, why didn't you bring a better fishing rod when you came out to fish? Why did you only bring a bamboo to fool around? He's obviously a fishing newbie."
Lin Xiao sighed." A good fishing rod requires a ticket and a lot of money. I don't have the money. I might as well find a bamboo to cut a fishing rod and save money!"”
Lin Xiao peeked at the old man's fishing rod.
She wouldn't know if she didn't look, but she was shocked when she saw it.
F * ck, a lightweight fishing rod made of high composite material!
The price of this thing was probably even more expensive than a bicycle!
Just this plastic material alone was a f * cking strategic material. How could ordinary people have the chance to see it!
More importantly, the tickets for such a good thing were not something that ordinary people could get.
For ordinary people, food stamps, fuel stamps, cloth stamps, bicycle tickets, as long as they needed it, they could get it. But fishing rod tickets, you're just an ordinary person. How could the higher-ups give you such a ticket?!
What the hell, he went out to fish and met a hidden big shot!
Lin Xiao looked at the old man and felt that he was more and more mysterious.
Who would have thought that an old man in patched clothes and a fishing rod in his hand was something that no one would dare to dream of?
You really can't judge a book by its cover!
"That's true. It's easy to live frugally.”The grandpa was satisfied with Lin Xiao's attitude. He nodded and waved his hand,"" Forget it. You're just a fishing newbie. I won't waste my time with you. I think you should go back quickly and stop wasting your time here. I've been fishing for most of my life with good fishing gear, but I haven't caught a fish. It's strange that you can catch a fish with a bamboo pole..."
Before the old man could finish his words, Lin Xiao took the bait.
A big carp that was 30 to 40 centimeters long and weighed more than ten pounds had bitten the hook and was flopping in the water.
"Grandpa, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly. I'll continue chatting with you after I get this fish ashore.”Lin Xiao was tug-of-war with the big carp in the water. He couldn't rush it, as it was easy to break the line.
The grandpa was stunned.
In the end, he couldn't help but sigh." I misjudged you, young man. I didn't expect you to be an expert!"”
"The fish situation is not good today. Many people have been fishing for the entire morning but haven't caught any fish. You've just started and you've already caught such a big fish.”
The grandpa looked at Lin Xiao and the carp with interest.
It took Lin Xiao four to five minutes to get the carp ashore.
Lin Xiao put the carp into the bag, then put on the bait and sprinkled the hook.
He turned to the old man and said," Sir, I'm not an expert. I rely on this to survive. If I can't catch any fish, I'll starve to death!"”
"You, fishing is purely for fun. I fish for a living, so I'm more concerned about it.”
The old man in the tunic suit felt that it was indeed reasonable. He took out the big front door from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and handed over another."Young man, have a cigarette. I have to learn how to fish from you. Oh right, my surname is Wu.”
"Thank you, sir." Although Lin Xiao didn't like smoking, in this era, smoking and drinking were necessary etiquette in a relationship, so he didn't refuse.
Lin Xiao lit a cigarette and said,""Uncle Wu, you can call me Lin Xiao. If you want to learn how to fish, I'll definitely teach you well.”
He could already tell.
This Uncle Wu was definitely not an ordinary person.
He was definitely a big shot!
It would be good if they could build a relationship!
Gao Qiu became a high-ranking official by playing football, and Lu Buwei became a high-ranking official by relying on the Xian woman.
This was all to his liking!
Then I, Lin Xiao, can rely on fishing to climb up a high branch, right?
After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Old Man Wu smacked his lips and stared at Lin Xiao fishing. He wanted to learn some skills.
Lin Xiao didn't hide it, he just let Old Wu see it, and when the time was right, he would remind him.
The old and the young were very harmonious.
His Fishing Proficiency was a daily reward from the system's poison pet. His skills were much better than ordinary people.
Just this skill alone was enough for those fishermen to eat for a lifetime!
Not long after.
Lin Xiao caught a big fish.
The surrounding fishing crowd was stunned when they saw this scene. They stopped fishing and came over to watch Lin Xiao.
He was full of praise.
"This young man is too amazing!"
"The weather is hot today, and the fish are not tasty. I've been fishing for the entire morning, but I haven't caught a single fish. This young man caught so many fish in a short while.”
" This is definitely the Fishing King!"
The anglers were shocked.
He had never seen such a powerful person in his entire life!
This was the Zhao Zilong of the fishing world. He had killed seven people in and out of Shichahai!
In the distance, Yan Bugui was also fishing.
He didn't know how to fish, he just found a place to watch Lin Xiao.
Seeing Lin Xiao catch one big fish after another, the old man smiled.
She was happier than Lin Xiao who had caught a fish.
"Lin Xiao has caught so many fish. He can't finish them all by himself.”
"Follow him and catch him in the act when he sells fish!”
Yan Bugui thought with ill intentions. Thinking that he would be able to catch Lin Xiao in a while, he was really happy.
