50 grams of gold would be 32 yuan according to the current market price.
This was a total of 1,600 yuan. However, if the villagers took two antiques, the price would be much lower.
Moreover, it was quite troublesome to exchange gold nowadays. It was not as simple as it was in the 21st century.
Wang Jianguo was too lazy to change!
Wang Jianguo arrived at the Commerce Bureau to sign in.
However, what he signed in today surprised him.
Ding! Business Bureau sign-in successful. Reward: 10 fishhook tickets!
Hmm, it was actually a fish hook.
Good stuff.
Wang Jianguo held the fishing hook ticket and thought about going fishing.
Wang Jianguo went to the mall and exchanged for two sets of fish hooks.
Wang Jianguo came to the bamboo forest and cut down a bamboo. After cutting it, he had a fishing rod.
He took out the fishing line he bought from the mall, tied the hook to the bamboo pole, and used a simple fishing tool.
In the 1960s, almost everyone used fishing rods like this. In the current era, fishing rods like those in the 21st century were only available overseas.
It was only gradually introduced into the country in the 1970s and 1980s!
However, this was enough.
Wang Jianguo dug and dug in the grass and soon dug out a lot of earthworms!
This was something that many fish liked to eat.
Earthworms were natural bait for fishing, and they were extremely useful.
Wang Jianguo came to the river. There were not many people fishing by the river.
There were only seven or eight people scattered around.
Most of them were old people. They all chose a place to squat and started fishing. They didn't squeeze together.
The river water was very clear, and many people on the banks of the river went home to cook.
There were even many people who washed clothes!
Wang Jianguo didn't mind and chose a place with no one around.
He took out a chair from his space and placed a bucket on the side before starting to fish leisurely.
Wang Jianguo was fishing by the river.
After a while, the fishing line moved. Wang Jianguo had caught fish before. He knew that once a fish was hooked, he could not pull it up at once. Instead, he could slowly drag it out with the other party. When the other party was exhausted, it would be much easier to hang it up.
Wang Jianguo immediately caught a Crucian Carp.
The Crucian Carp was very big. Its entire body was fluorescent white, and it weighed about half a catty.
Good heavens.
Wang Jianguo remembered that his grandfather had told him that in the 1960s, everyone was busy with production. Very few people had the time to go fishing.
Many people were exhausted after a day's work and just wanted to sit down and rest.
This also led to a lot of fish, shrimps, turtles and other things in the river. They lived very comfortably!
Therefore, they were very heavy. Some of the carps even weighed more than 10 pounds (I've checked the information, there are indeed carps that weigh more than 10 pounds!）
Half a catty of Crucian Carp was actually considered small.
Looking at the lively fish in the bucket, Wang Jianguo was ready to cook a delicious fish soup tonight.
In addition, the Crucian Carp was currently in the spawning period, so there was a large amount of fish roe inside.
This was a good thing. It was considered a rare tonic in the 1960s.
It was rich in protein.
Wang Jianguo threw the carp into the bucket and started fishing again.
After a while, there was movement in the water again. Wang Jianguo had caught another catfish that weighed five pounds.
In the process of pulling, he almost broke the fishing rod.
As expected, there were plenty of aquatic products in peaceful times. This five-pound catfish was enough for him to eat for a long time.
The more Wang Jianguo fished, the more addicted he became.
Just like that, he sat there and started fishing again. He even specially prepared four more fishing rods.
To prevent the fishing rod from breaking.
Wang Jianguo sat there for four to five hours.
He didn't feel tired at all throughout the entire journey. It was said that fishing was addictive.
Wang Jianguo didn't believe it.
But this time, he really believed it. Fishing was fun, especially when the big fish was pulled up. The satisfaction was really exciting.
As the river was rich in aquatic products, Wang Jianguo's fish were not even half a kilogram, so he directly poured them back into the river.
In the past four to five hours, the buckets were filled with fish. Some of the fish even died due to lack of oxygen.
However, it would save him some trouble if he died in this cold winter. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to kill live fish.
It was about time.
Wang Jianguo looked at the bucket full of fish. It was at least 30 catties.
In fact, he had already released a lot of fish before, mainly because those fish were too small. Wang Jianguo wanted them to grow bigger.
Otherwise, it would not be a problem to catch 50 catties.
Wang Jianguo returned with a full load. He placed the bucket full of fish in the back of the car, tied it up with a rope, and put the fishing hook and fishing rod back into the space.
Wang Jianguo hummed a tune as he rode his bicycle.
When Wang Jianguo arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Yan Bugui, who had just returned from teaching for a day, bumped into Wang Jianguo.
Wang Jianguo, where did you get the fish?"
Yan Bugui's eyes almost popped out when he saw the fish jumping up and down in the bucket.
"I caught it!"
Wang Jianguo pushed his bicycle into the yard. However, because the fish was too heavy, he could only untie it. He carried the bucket with one hand and pushed the bicycle with the other.
Yan Bugui had long been captivated by the bucket full of fish.
She ran over and said hypocritically,"Jianguo, let me help you. This bucket is so heavy, let me help you carry it!”
Wang Jianguo glanced at Yan Bugui and said coldly,""Third Master, I won't trouble you with this small matter!”
Wang Jianguo pushed the bicycle and left with the fish in his hand.
Now that Wang Jianguo's physique had changed, the 30-pound bucket was only a dozen pounds to him.
Compared to the various machines in the factory that weighed dozens of kilograms or hundreds of kilograms, it was simply too easy.
Yan Bugui couldn't help but sigh.
He could tell that Wang Jianguo hated him. It was all Yi Zhonghai's fault. Why did he provoke Wang Jianguo?
And that Jia Zhangshi, if it wasn't for her suggestion, each family would have been given a pound of meat.
He had also casually replied at that time, causing the relationship between him and Wang Jianguo to become even worse.
Thinking of this, Yan Bugui felt like he had suffered a huge loss.
Wang Jianguo had gotten a big bucket of fish from somewhere. There were catfish, carp, and grass carp in it.
The news spread throughout the courtyard house.
Qin Huairu returned home with a dark expression. Just as she reached the door, she smelled a strong fishy smell.
Unexpectedly, he saw Wang Jianguo, who was processing all kinds of fish outside the house.
Where did Wang Jianguo get so many fish?
Qin Huairu was salivating. She had gone to work without eating this morning and had only eaten two cornbread for lunch.
His stomach was already rolling with hunger.
Seeing that Wang Jianguo had so many fish, she really wanted to rush up and take one home.
"What are you standing outside the door for? Hurry up and come back to cook!”
Jia Zhangshi's face was also dark. Qin Huairu did not dare to say anything and could only run back into the house to start cooking.
"This Wang Jianguo is really something. He has so many fish, but he doesn't even know how to share some with us!”Jia Zhang-shi gritted her teeth in anger.
Lying on the bed in the room, he said leisurely,"Grandma, I want to eat fish!"
Jia Zhangshi walked in and sat on the bed, stroking the stick's head, saying,"Don't worry, Grandma will get you fish!”
