Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Seeing that the situation was becoming somewhat unfavorable, Xia An shook his head and smiled, saying:

"Yunshu, could you please entertain Sister Yuxue for me? I need to take the medicinal herbs back to Uncle Xie's house first, and then we can have dinner together later."

"good!"

Luo Yunshu nodded, the suspicion in her eyes lessening slightly, and she didn't press for details.

Xia An carried her basket of medicinal herbs back to the Xie family home, took them out and hung them to dry under the eaves so they wouldn't get stale.

He went inside, grabbed two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, and greeted Aunt Xiangyun in the main room:

"Auntie, Li Yuxue from next door is coming to visit. I'm having dinner at Yunshu's place tonight."

Aunt Xiangyun paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I understand!"

"Auntie, I'm going now."

Xia An smiled and nodded, then walked out of the Xie family's house and headed west of the village.

He had only taken two steps when he stopped, turned around, and walked upstream along the riverbank.

I was just going through the motions; I'd just bring out the dragonfish and two crucian carp later.

Surprisingly, I saw quite a few crucian carp bubbling up from the river.

"I forgot that in summer, the high temperature leads to low dissolved oxygen levels in the water, causing fish to rise to the surface to breathe air."

"With this cheat program working, isn't this the perfect time to collect fish?"

Xia An murmured,

A slight smile played on his lips; it seemed that not choosing fishing expertise was indeed the right decision.

Thinking this, he tiptoed to the riverbank, his eyes fixed on the fish within three meters.

With a slight thought, three crucian carp appeared in the spiritual spring space.

But it didn't appear in the pasture; instead, it appeared in the stream in the Liangtian area.

Xia An was slightly taken aback, and quickly asked:

—System, can fish be raised in the streams of the Lingquan Space's fertile fields?

"..."

"Apart from the streams in the pasture, the other three streams can store food for a short time, but if stored for too long, they will affect crop growth."

Hearing this, Xia An understood.

It is possible to raise them, but it will affect the growth of crops, fruit trees and medicinal herbs.

Okay!

After waking up today, the seven-day period has ended, and the first batch of crops has ripened.

The harvest included 6,000 catties of rice, 4,000 catties of wheat, 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes, and a quantity of vegetables.

There is no shortage of food now, so it's fine to raise a few fish in the good farmland for the time being.

He was just worried that the order of 3,000 would be fixed and he wouldn't be able to get it in.

did not expect……

—System, is there a quantitative limit to the number of animals that can be raised in the Lingquan Space?

"...Normally, the pasture can support 3,000 catties of aquatic products and 30,000 catties of land animals per month."

"Whether it's aquatic or terrestrial livestock, the maximum quantity for each type cannot exceed three thousand."

"If we want species to be abundant, their numbers must decrease; this is unavoidable."

Xia An nodded in understanding and walked upstream along the river, storing any fish he saw into his spiritual spring space.

A three-meter radius is still quite far.

Often, before the fish are even disturbed by Xia An's footsteps, he has already taken them into his spiritual spring space.

Soon,

More than thirty crucian carp, six fine-scaled fish, more than forty whitebait, and more than sixty willow root fish have appeared in Xia An's space.

A very fruitful experience!

Just as the system said, the number of three thousand crucian carp in the pasture stream is predetermined.

However, there is also a standard of 3,000 jin.

Apart from crucian carp, all other fish species were caught in the pasture streams.

Xia An did not continue.

He used the warehouse's processing capacity to process the dragon and two half-pound crucian carp.

I took it out and looked at it, and I felt that he might not have cleaned it as thoroughly as I thought.

Immediately, he found two willow branches, strung them together, and prepared to go back.

Just then, he glanced at Luo Shutong and the others who were still working in the distance.

After a slight hesitation, he went down into the river, wet his trousers, broke off four willow branches, and threaded four live crucian carp that had been stunned onto them.

Then, he quickly walked in that direction.

"Wow, Xia, you've had quite a harvest! You've reaped so much in such a short time?"

Someone saw Xia An walking quickly over and looked at his catch in surprise.

As soon as the sound rang out, the group of people looked up in surprise.

In their memory, Xia An and Luo Yunshu seemed to have passed by not long ago, right?

Xia An smiled and said, "Li Yuxue, whom I rescued the other day, came to visit, so I thought I'd go down to the river and catch a couple of fish to entertain her."

"I didn't expect all these fish to come out and bubble; I only managed to catch a few with pebbles."

"Not only that, we were lucky enough to hit a flying vehicle."

Everyone was surprised to hear this.

"Xia, you're not kidding us, are you? You can catch fish with pebbles?"

"He's got a decent aim; he can hit it."

Xia An smiled and said,

He had just tried it too; with his throwing knife expertise, he could indeed hit crucian carp with pebbles.

It's just that it's not a throwing knife, so it's a bit awkward to use and I've lost a lot of accuracy.

Perhaps later, I can have someone forge a few throwing knives and store them in my spatial storage for future use.

As he spoke, he looked at Aunt Guihua and said:

"Auntie, these four fish are just dizzy. Could you please keep them in two basins? We'll cook them for everyone tomorrow at noon to add some meat to the meal."

"How can this be allowed?"

Aunt Guihua waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Since it's alive, Xia Zhiqing, you can take it back and raise it. It can also feed you a few more meals."

"Yes, we've been eating quite well these past few days, so there's no need for you to be so polite, Xia Zhiqing."

"Xia, you can keep it for yourself."

"..."

Everyone echoed this sentiment.

Xia An shook his head and placed the four live fish in the basin beside him.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, Auntie. Please remember to make it tomorrow."

As he spoke, he remembered something, took two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes from his bag, and handed them to Luo Shutong.

"I'm a bit busy here, could you please ask Uncle Luo to help out and offer everyone a cigarette?"

Uncle Luo smiled and nodded, taking the cigarette and saying with a smile, "Go on with your work!"

Thanks.

Xia An smiled, picked up the prepared fish and the flying dragon, and left.

As he left, the people on the construction site looked surprised and thoughtful.

"Could it really be hit?"

"How about we go take a look after work later?"

"Um, how about giving it a try?"

"What are you thinking? The fact that Xia Zhiqing was able to beat him shows his strength."

"—You've lived here for so many years, don't you know anything about the fish in the river?"

"It's like a blind cat catching a dead mouse; you might only get lucky if you hit it with a pebble."

Uncle Luo was handing out cigarettes to everyone when he heard that a few young people wanted to go. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They tried throwing stones at it, and even fishing it out of the river, but with little effect.

"Alright, we'll be done in a little while, so stop standing around."

Everyone smiled and went back to their work.

"This educated youth from Renxia is really capable! Just his fishing skills alone are enough to ensure he can eat meat every day!"

"That makes sense; our previous worries were unnecessary."

"It's not superfluous. Xia, the educated youth, is busy collecting herbs and seeing patients; she doesn't have time to grow vegetables."

"..."

Scattered conversations broke out, and surprise and suspicion still lingered on everyone's faces.

Can pebbles really catch fish?

Aunt Guihua looked at Uncle Luo, "Second Brother, what about this fish?"

Luo Shutong shook his head and chuckled.

"Since it's Xia Zhiqing's idea, you can keep the osmanthus for now and make it tomorrow."

"Okay!"
