From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 15 Envy
There is a saying since ancient times that "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water."

Whether it is Jiang Yao or Bingzai and the others, their homes are not far from Yuanjiang.

For them, going to the river to fish when they have nothing to do has long been a normal practice.

The main reason why they found it strange that Jiang Yao went out fishing at night was because of the limitations of the times, which meant that the concept of night fishing was completely unknown to them.

If it were the era in Jiang Yao's memory, even in the middle of the night, there would still be groups of people fishing by the river.

Although the two big fish in the water that had not yet been brought ashore were not caught by the soldiers Wang Dahai and his companions, they were still full of energy and busy having fun.

Finally, the big grass carp that was caught at the beginning turned upside down and was held down by the soldier who had been prepared for a long time, and then dragged to the shore.

Such a big fish was difficult for the small soldier to lift.

As if to show off, he carried the fish on his shoulder and turned around a few times.

In other words, mobile phones were still luxury items back then, and there were no mobile phones that could take photos. Otherwise, he would definitely take a few photos and then post them beautifully on his Moments.

"In my entire life, the biggest fish I've ever caught weighed only two or three pounds."

"Uncle Yao, I estimate that even if your fish is less than 15 kilograms, it is definitely not much different."

"You are so awesome to be able to catch such a big fish!"

When he thought about the fact that the fish in his hand could be sold for dozens of dollars, Bingzai became visibly jealous.

After sighing a few times, he looked at Jiang Yao, who was still reeling in a plastic bottle a few steps away, and continued, "We agreed before that you would teach me the fishing method you use."

"I can prepare the fishing lines and hooks myself. I will go directly to your house tomorrow and you can help me get a few sets of fishing gear."

"Tomorrow, I won't pick up any girls. I'll follow your example, Uncle Yao. I won't go to the dance hall at night and will go fishing by the river."

……

Before he could finish his words, the big grass carp he was carrying on his shoulder swung its tail violently and broke free from his hands and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the soldier was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and his hands and feet were quite nimble.

He pounced on the ground like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey and grabbed the fish.

Otherwise, if the fish really ran away, he was really worried that Jiang Yao would kick him into the water.

Wang Dahai on the other side was more direct.

After cooperating with Bingzai to catch the big grass carp, he squatted on the ground and began to study the set of Liuyang hooks that he had just taken out of the water mouth.

The hook that Jiang Yao made himself was actually very simple.

You don’t even need space beans, just tie a tire line into a slipknot and then make a loop, and then tie four fish hooks on the loop.

The bran cakes used as fish bait were also bought from the feed store in one piece and then cut by himself.

The bran cakes were supposed to be cut into trapezoidal shapes, but because of his poor craftsmanship, he turned them into irregular long strips.

When it is put on the hook, simply put this long bran cake into the coil, then tighten the knot and secure it with a rubber band.

Under the moonlight, after just a little study for a while, Wang Dahai already had an idea of ​​how to make this kind of hook.

As for using mineral water bottles to tie the thread, the principle is even simpler.

Because the line tied to this bottle can be released by itself when casting the bait.

"Jiang Yao, I'll come fishing with you tomorrow."

"I should be able to make this kind of fishing tackle by myself. When we get to the river tomorrow night, if there's anything I don't understand, you can give me some guidance."

After helping Jiang Yao collect the fishing line and hooks, Wang Dahai smiled and said to Jiang Yao. "I'll come tomorrow night too!" Gou Zi, who was standing next to Jiang Yao and watching the second fish being pulled in front of him bit by bit, also took this opportunity to quickly agree.

With Jiang Yao as a role model, it would be strange if these guys were not tempted by him catching two big fish in a row.

"Okay, let's all come together tomorrow night. It's settled. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly!"

Jiang Yao smiled and responded.

Compared to staying alone by the river, it is certainly a good thing to have some company with you.

Just like today, if they hadn’t been here to help, Jiang Yao wouldn’t have been able to handle it alone.

The fish he was reeling in now was also a large grass carp, which had just been pulled out of the water once.

Compared with the first fish, this fish is much smaller.

After a few attempts, with the cooperation of Gou Zi and Jiang Yao, the fish was successfully pulled to the shore.

After a rough estimate, the fish weighs about five or six kilograms.

Actually, being able to catch such a big grass carp is already pretty good, but it's just not comparable to the previous one.

Jiang Yao was already satisfied after catching two big fish during this trip.

Besides, he didn't even have something to hold the fish. If it weren't for the soldiers like Wang Dahai here, it would have been difficult for him to get the two fish back.

Under the current circumstances, he naturally had no interest in continuing fishing.

While chatting and laughing with the soldiers, he walked to the last set of fishing gear that didn't ring the bell, picked up a plastic bottle and started to reel in the line.

……

On the other side, above the rocky beach.

"Brother Yao is so amazing. He actually caught two big fish in a row late at night." The speaker was Xiaoyu.

After standing for a while, she and Xiaoli found a clean stone and sat down.

Not far away, the voices of Jiang Yaobingzai and others' conversation could vaguely reach their ears. Naturally, they already had a general understanding of the situation over there.

Deliberately lowering their voices, the two were also chatting.

"Come on, stop calling me Brother Yao all the time. I just danced with you a few times, and I don't even know if I still remember you."

"They were chatting animatedly over there, but we were sitting here, not even saying hello."

"In my opinion, we shouldn't have followed those guys here at all."

Compared with Xiaoyu, who is a little shy and introverted, Xiaoli is articulate and much more aggressive.

Although they have known the soldier Wang Dahai and others for some time and can be considered familiar with each other, they are still far from being in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

If it wasn't for the fact that my best friend obviously had a crush on Jiang Yao and mentioned his name from time to time...

After coming out of the dance hall, Xiaoli might not have followed Bingzai and his friends here.

"Okay, they're coming over there."

"Wait a moment, I'll give you and Jiang Yao some opportunities to be alone together. If you have anything to say, you can talk to him directly."

……

Looking at the shallow water in front, where several figures were wading towards this side, Xiaoli leaned close to Xiaoyu's ear and whispered a warning.
