Zhou Jing, the daughter of the leader, arrived.
Because they were not familiar with each other, it did not affect Chen Yong for the time being.
After Ye Shengbing left, Chen Yong was too lazy to think about it. He would deal with whatever came his way. Since he was already here, the other party might not have the personality of a young miss. It was still too early to ask for trouble.
In the evening, he returned to the courtyard after work. As soon as he entered the front yard, he bumped into Yan Bugui, who was about to leave.
"Third Uncle, what are you doing?"
He saw Yan Bugui wearing a big scarf and a dog skin hat. He was carrying a bucket in one hand and a thin bamboo pole in the other. He seemed to be going out.
"It's Chen Yong. I'm going to go fishing outside the city.”
Speaking of fishing, Yan Bugui's face was full of confidence." Don't be fooled by the freezing weather, it's a good time to ice fish. I went to the river outside the city yesterday and saw that the ice on the surface of the river was neither thick nor thin. This is a good opportunity to catch big fish."”
Yan Bugui's monthly salary was 39 yuan. His family of six depended on this salary to support themselves. It was obvious how tight their living conditions were. However, overall, they could only eat their fill. There was still a long way to go before they could live a good life.
In the entire courtyard, he was the one who was scheming.
When he got off work, he would go fishing outside the city. When he caught big fish, he would sell them to others. When he found some, he would bring them back for dinner. Overall, his fishing skills were indeed good. He could earn at least three or four yuan a month. Occasionally, he could even eat a small fish at home.
"Winter fishing? That's really not bad.”
Chen Yong looked at Yan Bugui's fishing rod with interest, his eyes filled with eagerness.
Sensing Chen Yong's interest, Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat. He immediately probed," Why? Are you interested too? If so, I have a fishing rod that I can lend you. We can go together.”
Yan Bugui naturally had his own plans for lending the fishing rod to Chen Yong.
The main thing was that it was freezing cold. It was a full six to seven miles from the courtyard to the fishing spot. If he could persuade Chen Yong to go with him, he could hitch a ride on Chen Yong's bicycle and save a lot of effort.
More importantly, he had to lend out his fishing rod.
If he lent Chen Yong a fishing rod to fish, Chen Yong would be embarrassed to lend it to him for free, right?
As long as Chen Yong agreed, he would tactfully remind Chen Yong to bring some food. After this reminder, Chen Yong would definitely ask him to bring the fishing rod with him.
This way, he could get a free meal.
"Winter fishing?" Chen Yong was really tempted.
Before he transmigrated, fishing was one of his few hobbies. As long as he was not busy, he would go out of the city to find a place to fish for a day. Although his skills were not as good as some professionals, it was enough for him to play.
He had heard of winter fishing before, but he had never played it.
Since he had nothing to do tonight, why not go with Yan Bugui to broaden his horizons?
Besides, this fish was considered meat.
Previously, he had been paying attention to pork and wild game, so he had neglected the good stuff like fish.
The key was that there was a reason for eating or giving. As long as he found an excuse to say that he had caught something, it would be explained. In addition, he liked fishing to begin with. This was killing two birds with one stone. He could store up supplies and relax at the same time.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Third Uncle. I'll go with you today to experience it.”Not long after, Chen Yong finally agreed to go with Yan Bugui.
"That's right."
Yan Bugui was very happy." Follow me, Third Uncle. I guarantee that you'll gain something. Hurry up and go back and change your clothes. It's colder by the river at night than in the city. You have to wear thicker clothes. You have to wear a hat and gloves.
"Alright, I'll go change first." After saying that, Chen Yong pushed the cart inside.
" Wait, we definitely won't be able to make it back in time for dinner. Don't forget to bring food. It's best if you can…" Yan Bugui didn't finish his sentence, but Chen Yong instantly understood what he meant.
Didn't he just want to have a meal?
Besides, it was fine for him to borrow someone else's fishing rod and exchange it with some food. There was no need to be too calculative.
A real man should never be like a woman. He was afraid of being taken advantage of every day. If a man was like this, he would not have much future.
"Third Uncle, don't worry. I'll pay for dinner tonight.”
After saying this, Chen Yong pushed his bicycle and left, leaving behind the overjoyed Yan Bugui who was feeling smug. He thought that inviting Chen Yong to go with him was the right choice.
After returning home, Chen Yong started preparing.
He took out a large black cotton-padded jacket from the cabinet, then found a sheepskin coat, sheepskin hat, sheepskin boots, sheepskin gloves, and a very thick scarf. He put them on one by one.
He wore a sheepskin coat inside and a large cotton jacket outside.
This kind of clothing was very warm and could lock in the body's heat without losing it.
This sheepskin coat was not cheap. It was specially made by Chen Xueru a few years ago. Even the material processing cost 37 yuan. It could be said to be extremely extravagant. Ordinary people would not even dare to think about it.
After putting on his clothes, he began to prepare other things.
The first was food. He had just bought half a catty of braised pork and four large steamed buns when he came back. He might as well bring them along and share them with Yan Bugui. It would save him the trouble.
Then, there was the bait. According to his fishing habits before he transmigrated, he definitely could not lack bait to make a nest.
People who often fished knew that if wild fishing wanted to have a good harvest, the bait used to make nests was indispensable. Moreover, the bait used by every fisherman was different. Chen Yong also had his own formula.
White wine with rice or corn.
This was Chen Yong's most commonly used formula, and also the easiest formula to make.
In fact, they had corn and white wine at home. The raw materials for the other baits were either more troublesome, or some of them were not available at all. They were products of industrial processing in the future.
He found a can and put two large handfuls of corn in it. He also found a jar of white wine that Xu Huizhen had given him and mixed it according to the ratio of one to one.
The preparation work was completed here.
They pushed the cart to the front yard and found Yan Bugui. Although it was only six o'clock, the sky was basically dark. The two of them didn't waste any more time. Chen Yong carried Yan Bugui and followed his directions to the river north of Yanjing City.
It was already past seven o'clock when they arrived.
In such cold weather, there were actually three or four people fishing there.
Chen Yong had never ice fished before, so he could only listen to Yan Bugui's words to choose the fishing spot. The river was completely frozen, and the ice near the river was very thick. He followed Yan Bugui's instructions and dug a hole in a place.
Yan Bugui was indeed very experienced.
It was easy to dig a hole in the place he mentioned, and the ice surface was enough for people to stand on.
The two of them were not far from each other, only three or four meters apart. This way, they would not affect each other, but they could also hear each other's voices. If there were any problems, they could help each other in time.
