Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 102: I won’t pretend anymore, I’m hanging on the wall, let’s get straight to the point!

Nanluoguxiang is really a place with a very advantageous geographical location.

Ximen Lang had not paid attention to this aspect before, nor had he thought about it in this regard, so he didn't care much about it.

It was not until he really studied it in depth for the sake of fishing that he suddenly realized
"The location of Nanluoguxiang is really pretty good! Although it's not as close to Tiananmen Square as Zhengyangmen, it's definitely not much different!"

The third uncle was traveling in a car for the first time in his life. He was looking around curiously. When he heard Ximen Lang's words, he first praised him from the bottom of his heart.

"Your car is, hands down, awesome!"

Then he answered.

"You're right. Although we're not as close to the Tianzihao gate as Zhengyangmen, we're still close to the Dizihao gate! We don't even need to ride a bike, we can walk and get there in no time! We're not much behind them!"

"There are also the Qianhai, Houhai, and Beihai lakes, as well as steel mills, machine repair shops, and electrical machinery factories. See? These large factories are almost surrounding Nanluoguxiang! With such unique conditions, could Zhengyangmen have the same blessing?"

Wow, just learning how to ride a bicycle a little bit more can be considered a blessing by the uncle.

I have to say, Ximen Lang was really convinced.

Of course, Bai Ling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was also impressed.

But compared to this, she was more curious about why Ximen Lang was so arrogant and insisted on driving the car out for such a short distance.

"Nonsense! If I accidentally catch a fish weighing a hundred or eighty kilograms, will Uncle San's small fish basket be able to hold it? Will you carry it back, or should I?"

Seeing that Ximen Lang was still dreaming of catching a 30-jin fish with one shot, Bai Ling was speechless and rolled her eyes.

Then, because several people came out by car.

However, in just a short while, the group arrived at the famous Shichahai Park.

Then, Ximen Lang was stunned by the vast number of fishermen who were almost crowded together by the lake. (Looking at old photos, the fishermen back then were really exaggerated!)

"There must be more people than fish, right?! How can we catch them?!"

After thinking about it, I realized that although Uncle Sanye has had some disappointments recently, overall the results are still pretty good.

Ximen Lang said in surprise.

"Master Yan, you don't fish with so many people around every day, do you?"

This directly touched upon the Third Uncle's sore spot, and Yan Bugui said unhappily.

"What do you think?! If it weren't for the fact that so many people are fishing to supplement their income, with my skills, do you think I could go back empty-handed?"

What the Third Uncle said was exactly a phenomenon that has been getting worse and worse in Beijing.

Because the threshold for fishing is so low, you can just get a bamboo pole, tie a rope, and bring a hook to try your luck and catch a few fish to supplement your family income.

There are not too many strict restrictions in this regard.

Especially after the implementation of the food coupon system, the number of fishermen in the city doubled.

Just look at the holidays, there are definitely more fishermen trying their luck than young couples coming for blind dates!

Even if Ximen Lang got up before dawn and rushed here, there were still not many good locations for him to choose from.

This situation had been anticipated long ago.

Just when Ximen Lang felt he had no idea where to go because there were so many people.

"Brother Lang, Brother Lang, what a coincidence, you guys are here to fish too? It just so happens that we have a lot of spots and a large area, so you can just come and fish with us!"

Yes, in order to better protect Ximen Lang, the Special Operations Team and the Security Department came over in the middle of the night to reserve a seat.

I’m afraid that if the protection isn’t in place, Ximen Lang might run into trouble again.

Therefore, there was no need for Ximen Lang and others to travel far to choose a location, as the place had already been found and occupied by Hao Pingchuan and others.

It turned out that Hao Pingchuan and the others were there too.

"Isn't this a coincidence? Let's go, let's go together, together!"

Pulling Bai Ling, they sat right in the middle of Hao Pingchuan and others as they wished.

While greeting each other, Ximen Lang's performance began.

Let me put it this way, the third uncle has been sitting by the side fishing for quite some time, and Ximen Lang is still fiddling with the bags on his shoulders and in his hands.

"Are you here to fish, or to show off your gear? Have you had enough? It's been so long, are you still going to fish or not?"

"Why are you rushing me? I'm already working on it. You have to give me some time to prepare, right?"

Speaking of preparation.
"The sun's going to be out soon. It's so hot, so I'll put up a parasol. Is that okay? It's uncomfortable to sit on a small stool for too long. I'll get a multifunctional fishing chair. Is that okay?"

"Also, I'm operating multiple rods. With so many pairs of rods, you have to give me some time to set up the turrets, okay? And all these rods require rods, lines, floats, and bait. Which one of them doesn't take time? Do you think fishing is that easy?"

It perfectly illustrates what it means for poor students to have a lot of stationery.

Seeing that Bai Ling was getting a little impatient, he threw a fishing rod over to her without saying a word, taught her the simple usage, and let her play with it as she pleased.

As a result, the rod was just thrown out by Bai Ling
"Hey, I caught a fish! I caught a fish! Look at the movement, it's quite a big fish!"

Yes, Bai Ling caught a fish on the first cast.

On the other hand, Ximen Lang hadn't even had time to attack his nest.

Now, Ximen Lang was embarrassed.

But when he saw Bai Ling's provocative look.
"What are you so proud of? Just wait until I have my equipment ready, and I can easily kill you in one second!"

Don't look away and continue preparing.

Then the preparation took another ten minutes.

It was not until more than half an hour after arriving here that Ximen Lang finally got everything done.

Then, the long wait began.

Why is the word "long" used here to describe it?
Because Ximen Lang’s wait was really long.

Even though dozens of kilograms of bait had been sprinkled out, the three uncles who had more fish started to raise their fishing rods one after another.

But Ximen Lang saw nothing but small shrimps that he didn't even bother to look at. Not to mention giants weighing dozens of kilograms, he didn't even see any small fish weighing seven or eight kilograms, or even four or five kilograms.

Comparing with Bai Ling next to me, I would definitely gain something every once in a while.

Ximen Lang was completely numb.

"Damn it! I've definitely been fooled by those fan fiction stories about catching fish weighing dozens of kilograms!"

Looking again, the time was getting closer to noon, and Bai Ling's face was becoming more and more hateful.

I felt ruthless.
"No more pretending, I'm hanging on the wall, let's get this straight!"
