Although Yi Zhonghai had returned to his home, he seemed to still clearly hear everyone talking about him, and his face became increasingly ugly.

But Xu Damao didn't rush to leave. Instead, he went over and gave Yang Chong a thumbs up: "Chongzi, you are the first one who can make an old man lose face in this courtyard!"

Lou Xiao'e quickly pulled him and said, "That's enough, Damao, stop talking and go back quickly."

In the evening, Yang Chong slaughtered a pheasant and stewed a large pot of it. The aroma filled the whole yard, and the people in the yard were so greedy that they lost their appetite even for their own meals.

When Jia Zhang from next door smelled the aroma, she gnashed her teeth in hatred: "Damn you little bastard, you don't let us eat such delicious pheasant meat, you are really lacking in virtue for eight lifetimes!"

Bang Geng was even peeking out through the door curtain, drooling: "Grandma, I want to eat chicken. I want to eat chicken."

Jia Zhang cursed even more fiercely: "Humph, there is meat but I won't let my family eat it, and I cook it so deliciously, this person has a very dirty mind!"

As he said that, he couldn't help but walk to the door, just in time to see Yang Chong coming out of the house, holding a large bowl of chicken and walking towards Wang Daguo's direction.

Needless to say, he must have gone to deliver chicken to Wang Daguo.

Jia Zhang became more and more angry: "This little heartless boy has no idea of ​​respecting the old and loving the young. He didn't give the meat to the old and the young in my family, but gave it to Wang Daguo and others. He is really ill-mannered!"

Qin Huairu listened to her cursing, curled her lips and dared not say a word.

Yang Chong stewed a big pot of pheasant, and only one big bowl was sent to Uncle Wang's family from the entire courtyard. He didn't bother to pay attention to anyone else.

After returning to the house, he ate the chicken and took out the money from selling game meat and put it on the table. Yu Xiu was shocked when she saw it, and her eyes widened: "Brother, where did you get so much money?"

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Do you think I just shot this one pheasant after running around in the mountains all day?"

Yu Xiu said in surprise: "You mean you shot a lot of pheasants and sold the rest?"

He quickly picked up the money and counted it. He was even more surprised and counted it again: "Brother, how many pheasants did you kill and how much money did you sell them for?"

Yang Chong smiled, picked up a piece of chicken and put it into Yu Xiu's round mouth: "This little money is nothing, your man will bring you so much money every day in the future."

Yu Xiu chuckled: "You're really good at bragging." No wonder Yu Xiu didn't believe it. She counted it twice just now, and the pile of money Yang Chong took out was actually a total of 153 yuan.

She had never seen so much money in her life, and Yang Chong only took one day to bring it back to her.

He also said that he would be able to bring her so much money every day in the future, but she naturally didn't believe it.

Yang Chong thought to himself: If you knew that I still have a wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms that I haven’t sold today and put it in the space, wouldn’t you be scared to death?

But he would not say this, he just smiled and said: "You will know later whether it is bragging or not. Just remember one thing, if you become my woman, you can wait for happiness in the future!"

Yu Xiu's face flushed, and her heart was sweet. She nodded vigorously: "Brother, marrying you means I will be blessed even if I have to eat tree bark."

Yang Chong reached out and pinched her cheek and said, "Silly."

The next morning, Yang Chong woke up early and went into the space to take a look at the big wild boar from yesterday.

I found that even though a night had passed, the wild boar still looked very fresh, without any peculiar smell, as if it had just been killed.

It seems that this space can also keep food fresh, so there is no need to worry about food spoiling.

However, he did not plan to go to the mountains again today. Firstly, he was thinking about how to deal with the big wild boar, and secondly, he wanted to try whether his god-level hunter skills were suitable for catching fish.

If I could catch fish, I wouldn’t have to go to the mountains every day.

There are lakes in many parks in Beijing, and you can often see some fishing enthusiasts fishing by the lake. For example, the third uncle Yan Bugui in the front yard would go fishing with his fishing rod every weekend.

However, Yan Bugui was reluctant to give up the bait, so it was rare to see him catch big fish. He was usually lucky to catch two small fish the size of a palm.

Today happened to be Sunday, and Yan Bugui was seen pushing a bicycle out of the yard early in the morning with a small bucket hanging on the handlebars and a bamboo pole tied to the beam.

Needless to say, it was time to go fishing again.

Yang Chong originally wanted to ask him where there were the most fish in the city, but after thinking it over he decided it was better not to ask, lest if he caught any fish later the old man would think he had taken advantage of him.

Anyway, I heard that people often go fishing in the nearby park, so I might as well go over and try my luck.

So after dinner, Yang Chong also found a bucket and a bamboo pole like the third uncle.

Yu Xiu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, what are you looking for this bucket and bamboo pole for? Are you going fishing too?"

Yang Chong nodded: "Yes, when I went to the mountains to catch rabbits yesterday, someone taught me a way to fish. I want to try it."

Yu Xiu asked doubtfully, "Really? It's winter now and the lake is frozen. Can we catch any fish?"

Yang Chong said: "Of course, although the lake is frozen, the fish are all below. It is easier to catch them if you throw some bait at this time."

"Really?" Yu Xiu perked up when she heard it: "Then I want to go and see it too, brother, take me with you."

"Okay, let's go if you want." Yang Chong did not object, so after the two of them packed up, they went out together.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, which aroused the envy of everyone in the yard, especially the young people, who were so jealous.

Jia Zhang was sitting under the eaves, chewing melon seeds and spitting: "Bah! You two are going fishing? It would be best if both of you fell into the lake and drowned!"

Qin Huairu behind the scenes was a little confused: How could she marry into such a family?

Fortunately, she said this after watching Yang Chong and the other person leave the house. Otherwise, if Yang Chong heard it, he would definitely give her another slap in the face until her teeth fell out.

The two of them arrived at a nearby park and saw that even though it was very cold, there were already several old men fishing by the lake.

The third uncle is among them.

Seeing Yang Chong and Yu Xiu, Yan Bugui was a little surprised: "Chongzi, why are you here?"

Then I looked at the bucket and bamboo pole in his hand and asked with a look of suspicion: "Are you here to fish too?"

Chapter 19 Pay Me Cents for Tuition

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Yes, Third Uncle, isn't it that Xiu'er wants to eat fish? So she wants to try her luck."

Yan Bugui was a little bit unconvinced: "No way? You just ate pheasant last night, and you want to eat fish so soon? You ate such a big pheasant?"

Yu Xiu just smiled and said nothing. Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "Fishing is not something that anyone can do, especially in such a cold weather. Most people can't catch any fish. You're using such a big bucket. I've been fishing for so many years, and I'm lucky to be able to fill this small bucket. Well, how about I teach you a few tricks? Don't worry, we're from the same school. Just pay me fifty cents for the tuition."

Yu Xiu stuck out her tongue and thought that this old man spoke nicely but was really cruel. He wanted fifty cents just by opening his mouth.

Yang Chong smiled and said, "No, Third Uncle, don't tell anyone about your unique fishing skills. Pass them on to Brother Jie Cheng. I can figure it out slowly by myself. If I really can't catch anything, forget it."

Yan Bugui was not discouraged at all: "You guys didn't prepare bait for fishing, did you? Well, for fifty cents, I'll share some of my bait with you, and I guarantee you'll have a good catch today."

Yu Xiu was startled: "Brother, I think I really forgot to prepare the bait."

Yang Chong smiled: "It's okay, I just picked up a piece of pork liver on the road, just right for fishing."

As he spoke, he reached into the bucket and actually pulled out a small piece of pork liver.

Yan Bugui was dumbfounded, wondering how this kid could be so lucky that he could pick up a pig liver while walking.

But it's a pity, why don't you keep such good liver for yourself, but use it for fishing? What a spendthrift.

Yu Xiu was a little confused and thought to herself, I came here with you, and I didn't see you picking up anything on the road, so how come you picked up a piece of pig liver.

Yang Chong said without further ado: "Uncle, you fish here. Xiu'er and I will go find a spot over there. Otherwise, Xiu'er will be startled and scare away the big fish you caught."

After saying that, he took Yu Xiu's hand and went to the other side.

Yan Bugui opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Give me some of the pig liver you picked up," but he didn't say it.

The two men found a secluded place to stop. Yang Chong found a stick and hit the lake surface twice. The ice was not too thick, so he made a hole and cleared the ice debris on top. Yang Chong directly tied a small piece of pork liver to a bamboo pole with a rope and hung it into the water. Then the two men sat by the lake waiting for the fish to take the bait.

The other old men who were fishing looked at the two of them and shook their heads, thinking that they were not here to fish, they were clearly here to talk about love, how could anyone fish like this.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but shake his head with regret: "Alas, what a pity for that piece of pig liver, it's such a waste."

As he spoke, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Just as he struck a match and hadn't lit the cigarette yet, he heard Yu Xiu shouting in surprise, "It's caught, it's caught! Brother, the fish is hooked!"

Yan Bugui's hand shook and the match fell and landed on his thigh.

He jumped up quickly and tried to knock out the match, but a small hole had already been burned in his trousers by the match.

These were new pants he had made two years ago, with only a patch sewn on them. Yan Bugui stamped his feet distressedly: "This girl, why are you screaming so much? It's a pity for my pants."

As he said this, he looked over there, but was stunned at the first sight.

Then he saw Yang Chong lifting up the bamboo pole hanging in the lake. In the sunlight, a big, fat fish was flapping its wings on the rope under the bamboo pole, which looked a bit dazzling.

Yu Xiu was shouting excitedly and busy filling a small bucket with water to catch the fish.

Yan Bugui opened his mouth wide and didn't even notice that the cigarette had fallen to the ground.

After a long while, he stammered, "How come this kid is so lucky?"

But Yang Chong's good luck obviously did not stop there. Next, Yan Bugui just sat down, put the cigarette that had just fallen on the ground back into his mouth, struck another match, and lit the cigarette butt.

Then Yu Xiu shouted exaggeratedly: "Brother, it's hooked again, it's hooked again! This one is even bigger!"

Yan Bugui's hand trembled, and the match, which he had not yet blown out, burned his fingers and fell onto his legs.

Yan Bugui jumped up again and slapped his trouser legs: "Xiu'er, can you stop being so jumpy? I've burned two holes in my trousers."

As he spoke, his eyes widened, because the fish that Yang Chong picked up looked fatter and bigger than before.

This luck is simply incredible.

Yu Xiu put the fish into the bucket and smiled sheepishly: "I'm so sorry, Uncle San, I was just too excited to see my brother Chongzi catch a big fish."

Yan Bugui said in annoyance: "You guys are excited, but my pants are...

At this time, the other old men who were fishing could no longer sit still. They had been sitting by the lake for most of the day and had not caught even a small fish that was only one finger long. Seeing Yang Chong catching fish one after another, they couldn't help but drop their fishing rods and come over.

Yan Bugui was still a little embarrassed. He had just offered fifty cents to teach others how to fish, but now the other person had caught two big fish, while he still had nothing.

But unable to withstand the exclamations of the onlookers, Yan Bugui finally couldn't resist and ran over.

And when he ran over, he almost dropped his jaw.

In just a short while, the big bucket that Yang Chong brought was already filled with half a bucket of fish, including carp and crucian carp, all struggling in the bucket.

Judging from the situation, in a while, this big bucket might be full.

At this time, more and more people gathered around, not only those who were fishing, but even those who were strolling in the park came over curiously to watch the fun.

Some people saw that the fish they caught were all fat and big, and they couldn't help but come up with an idea: "Little brother, can you eat all the fish you caught? Do you want to sell them?"

"Yes, little brother, you certainly can't eat all these fish, why don't you sell some to us, and you can also earn some money to supplement your family income."

"Yes, I want to buy some too."

In this year, supplies are scarce, and even if you have money, you can't buy anything. People usually don't even have enough food to eat, let alone meat. Now seeing such a fat fish, who wouldn't want to buy one to satisfy their cravings!

Moreover, I caught the fish myself, so buying and selling the fish is not illegal.

Before Yang Chong could say anything, Yu Xiu happily agreed on his behalf: "Sell it, of course, we'll just keep two for ourselves and sell the rest!"

Before he finished speaking, the crowd rushed over and said, "I want two, big ones!"

"I want two too, no, three!"

……

Chapter 20 This kid is so lucky

Most of the bucket of fish was quickly snatched up by the onlookers.

There were some people who hadn't bought any fish and they were actually queuing up there waiting for Yang Chong to continue fishing.

Yan Bugui was watching with envy. Not only was he watching, he was also secretly calculating the accounts nearby.

According to his incomplete statistics, in just that short period of time, Yang Chong and Yu Xiu earned as much as fifty or sixty yuan from selling fish.

Wow, this is more than his monthly salary as a primary school teacher!

Yan Bugui felt so sad.

Fortunately, Yang Chong fished for a while and saw that it was already noon, so he stood up and put away his fishing rod: "It's noon, Xiu'er, let's go home."

Yu Xiu said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, I have sold all the fish you caught. How about we catch another one and bring it back for you to eat?"

Yang Chong shook his head: "No, we haven't finished eating the pheasant yesterday, right? Let's not eat fish today. We can come back to fish later if we want to eat."

Yu Xiu nodded: "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you."

Yang Chong put away the fishing rod, took off the piece of liver hanging on the hook and threw it into the water. This piece of liver had caught so many fish, and throwing it into the water now was a way of thanking them.

As soon as he stood up, Yan Bugui, who had been eyeing him eagerly, rushed over impatiently: "Chongzi, you don't want to fish anymore? Then let the third uncle take this position."

Yang Chong didn't mind, but the other old men fishing were not happy.
