From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 70 Dinner
Taoyuan County was originally built on the bank of Yuanjiang River. The place where Jiang Yao was fishing today was next to the county town. He did not run to the more desolate area downstream.

He chose this place as the fishing spot. After he caught the fish, he could walk up from the riverside and there was a vegetable market about a hundred meters away. If he wanted to sell the fish, it would naturally be much more convenient.

However, there are too many shallows in the section of Yuanjiang River near the county seat, and the chance of encountering big fish cannot be compared with that in the downstream area.

"I wasted several hours and ended up empty-handed again today!"

Before I knew it, it was already past five in the afternoon.

Jiang Yao used his spiritual perception three times. He was already exhausted, but he still couldn't sense the existence of any big fish. With a helpless look on his face, he had already started to put away his rod and prepared to leave.

As for the magic of entering dreams, it is not very effective for fishing. After all, the fish are hiding in the river, and he cannot see the existence of the fish with his eyes, so he naturally cannot leave any marks on them.

The weather has been getting colder over this period of time. Even though Jiang Yao has the spiritual secret technique of possessing a ghost to cheat, the number of times he returns home empty-handed has also begun to increase.

After all, the weather is cold and big fish like to stay in deep water, so they are definitely not as active as before.

In a large body of water like the Yuanjiang River, which is over a thousand meters wide, the water is actually not very deep in most places along the shore.

Although Jiang Yao's fishing gear had long been upgraded to a more powerful one, due to the distance limitation of his mental perception, the bait he threw out was usually only about ten to twenty meters away.

With such a short distance, if you fish at night, the chance of encountering a big fish may be slightly higher. If you choose to fish during the day, the fishing effect is really very average.

If you go downstream to some more desolate areas, you can find a few river sections where the current is not too fast and the water depth is acceptable. However, those places are mostly people fishing with hand rods.

Jiang Yao fishes to make money, but many of those uncles and grandpas are retired people who fish purely for fun.

In order to catch big fish, they often spare no expense, throwing large bags of corn and whole pieces of bran cakes into the water after crushing them, just like feeding the fish.

What can Jiang Yao catch by squeezing in with those people to fish?
Ever since the time he finally sensed a big fish and forcibly controlled it with his upper body, but was attracted by the fragrance from someone else's nest and bit someone else's fishing hook, he was no longer willing to join in the fun!

As for fishing with nets and electric fishing, it's fine as long as you don't get caught by the fishery administration department. But if you are caught, it is illegal.

Although you can often see people using nets and electric fishing on the Yuanjiang River, the water here is a bit deep. It may be okay for others to do so, but Jiang Yao has no background or connections, so it is better for him to avoid these risks as much as possible.

After putting away his fishing gear, Jiang Yao, who was a little depressed, walked straight towards the direction of their village.

Sometimes it is really inconvenient to not have a means of transportation.

Carrying a fishing gear bag weighing several kilograms, it takes more than half an hour to walk back home. It’s okay once or twice, but walking like this every day is something even Jiang Yao finds unbearable.

Before, he had thought about buying a second-hand motorcycle, but now, all his belongings added up to less than one hundred yuan, so he had to put the idea of ​​buying a car on the back burner for the time being.

"Xiaoyao, are you going fishing again? How was your catch today?"

When Jiang Yao returned home, it was already dark.

Mother Yuan Xiuhua came back early today. She had already prepared dinner, and when she saw Jiang Yao, she immediately came over to greet him.

"No luck today, I didn't catch anything!"

Jiang Yao used mental perception several times when fishing, but his mental state was still not very good. He was listless and put away his fishing gear bag.

While responding to his mother, he walked a few steps into the kitchen: "Mom, we stewed a chicken today. Where did it come from?" When talking about chicken, Yuan Xiuhua's face began to look a little bad.

Pouting, she complained angrily, "Where else could it come from? I bought it from Aunt Zhao nearby."

"When I came back in the evening, I saw her selling chickens at the entrance of the village."

"I was thinking, Xiaoyao, weren't you bothered by that thing the past two days, which caused you to lose some energy? Stewing a chicken would be a good way to replenish your body, right?"

"The chickens that Aunt Zhao raised at home were already slaughtered. She was selling them at a low price, so I bought one."

"Who would have thought that after I came back, people told me that the chickens sold by Aunt Zhao were all killed by fowl plague."

"That means she hasn't come back from selling chickens yet, otherwise I would definitely go to her house and give her a good scolding!"

Even without a man, Yuan Xiuhua was able to raise Jiang Yao, so she must not be a weak person.

Although Aunt Zhao is fierce, when it comes to a fight, Yuan Xiuhua is not much worse than her.

Judging from Yuan Xiuhua's attitude, she was not just talking, but seemed to be really prepared to go to Aunt Zhao's house and have a fight.

"Forget it, Mom. It's just a chicken. Even if it's dead, it doesn't matter."

"Aunt Zhao is just like that. So what if she takes advantage of me? Can she make a fortune?"

"It's not worth it to fight with such a person!"

With a strange look on his face, Jiang Yao listened to Yuan Xiuhua finish her words, then laughed, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth.

"The chicken stewed by mom tastes really good. I have to eat at least three bowls tonight."

After a piece of chicken went into his stomach, Jiang Yao licked his lips as if he was savoring the taste and gave a compliment.

"You little bastard, you only know how to flatter. Don't I know how good my mom is at cooking?" Rolling her eyes at Jiang Yao, Yuan Xiuhua scolded with a smile.

But then, she seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added: "Although this chicken looks fine, it is still infected with the plague. You can eat it, but don't eat too much!"

If it were the era that Jiang Yao remembered, whether it was a chicken or a pig, upon hearing that it had died of plague, many people would stay away from it and throw it directly into the trash can.

However, for people today, this is not a big deal at all. Many times, even though they know that the other party is selling diseased pork and diseased chicken, many people will take the initiative to buy them and eat them. After all, such meat is relatively cheap.

Yuan Xiuhua was feeling unhappy at the moment, not because she bought diseased chicken, but because she spent a price which was slightly cheaper than that of a big live chicken, but bought diseased chicken.

"Mom, I got it. I'll go help you serve the rice!" Jiang Yao responded casually as he stood up.

No one knew better than him whether the chickens in Aunt Zhao's family died of plague.

After serving two bowls of rice and handing one to his mother, he picked up the chopsticks and began to eat with relish.
