Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 5 Fishing
Hearing Yan Jiecheng say this, Yan's father couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After dinner, Yan Jiecheng lay on the bed and couldn't help but start thinking.

Although I have supplies, I don’t have a suitable excuse. How can I take them out reasonably?
Just as Yan Jiecheng was thinking, a voice came from the door.

"Third Uncle, First Uncle, and my father asked me to come over and tell you that there will be a meeting in the middle courtyard later, so please come over."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

I didn't expect that on the second day after I traveled through time, I would encounter a meeting of the whole school. It was so lively and lively. I was free anyway, so it was a good opportunity to kill time.

Yan Jiecheng, whose thoughts were interrupted, simply got up and went to the middle courtyard.

When Yan Jiecheng arrived at the middle courtyard, it was already surrounded by people.

In the middle of the yard, three stewards sat upright on chairs, listening to Sha Zhu and Xu Damao telling what had happened.

Yan Jiecheng looked around and saw Jia Dongxu also watching, so he walked up and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Dongxu, what's the matter with these two enemies fighting again?"

"You know them both, they bicker all the time and never stop. When it comes to bickering, Sha Zhu is no match for Xu Damao. And today, Sha Zhu got mad, and the bickering turned into a brawl."

While the two were discussing in a low voice, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao also finished telling what happened.

The three managers were very troubled after hearing this. Xu Damao and Sha Zhu seemed to be natural enemies. They quarreled every day and fought every few days, which made the three managers very annoyed.

After a quiet discussion, the three uncles reached a consensus, and then the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai stood up and said.

"You two have been fighting in the yard all day, can't you just quiet down?..."

"Uncle San, why don't you just stop? Look at what I've been beaten into by that idiot Zhu."

When Xu Damao interrupted him, Yi Zhonghai's face changed slightly and he spoke with displeasure.

"Look at the two of you. We've had several meetings just for you this month. Look around the younger generation in the hospital and see if there's anyone like you two."

"Our courtyard is a civilized courtyard. We respect the elderly and love the young, and we are well-known in the street for our unity among neighbors. What you two did is really bringing shame to our courtyard."

When Yi Zhonghai said this, Liu Haizhong stood up and said tacitly.

"Old Yi's words make perfect sense. Your family's actions are bringing shame upon our courtyard. To teach you a lesson, you must be punished. I suggest that Xu Damao and Sha Zhu each clean the courtyard for a week."

Although Liu Haizhong stuttered a bit when he spoke, at least he didn't speak incoherently.

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Yan Fugui also stood up and spoke.

"What do you think of Second Master's proposal? If you think it's okay, then let's do it."

As the third uncle finished speaking, the onlookers cheered in agreement.

Seeing that everyone agreed with this decision, Yi Zhonghai announced the end of the meeting without waiting for Xu Damao and Sha Zhu to object.

As the plenary session ended, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Through this whole-institute meeting, Yan Jiecheng also gained an intuitive understanding of the Siheyuan.

Whether it is Yi Zhonghai, the Lord of Morality, or Liu Haizhong, the official-obsessed man, they are both relatively fair when handling disputes in the court.

As for Jia Zhang, although she was not very popular in the courtyard, she was relatively well-behaved.

Basically, apart from Sha Zhu, Xu Damao has no troubles.

In the next few days, Yan Jiecheng followed Shao Weiming and finally adapted to the work in the cafeteria.

After his job became stable, Yan Jiecheng began to think about improving his life.

After much thought, Yan Jiecheng felt that fishing was the only relatively reasonable option at the moment.

So, early on the weekend, Yan Jiecheng came to Shichahai with his fishing rod and bucket. However, when he arrived at Shichahai, he saw that the area was crowded with people fishing, and Yan Jiecheng felt very disappointed.

There are more people here than fish. Can you really catch fish here?
But now that we are here, we can’t go back empty-handed.

After searching around for a long time, Yan Jiecheng finally found a place with few people.

Fishing these days is not so fancy. After skillfully stringing the earthworms on the hook, Yan Jiecheng sat down and started fishing.

But after fishing for more than an hour, there was no movement at all.

This won't do. Yan Jiecheng still hopes to improve his life by fishing, but he can't be an air force soldier.

By the way, I don’t know if my cheat code will work for fishing.

Yan Jiecheng also had a try-it attitude. After all, God knows what the uses of his portable supermarket are. What if a blind cat catches a dead mouse?

Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng closed his eyes and immersed his mind in his own portable supermarket.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Jiecheng felt a mysterious energy flowing through his body, through the fishing rod, and into the bottom of the water.

The underwater scene appeared in Yan Jiecheng's mind like a thermal image.

Looking at the fish-shaped images swimming back and forth, Yan Jiecheng knew that he had succeeded.

Afterwards, Yan Jiecheng released a beam of energy through the fishhook and flew directly towards one of the fish.

As the energy line hit the target, the fish seemed to be bound by an invisible energy, moving continuously towards the hook, and finally got caught on the hook.

"Hey boy, there's movement, a fish has taken the bait."

Hearing the reminder from a fellow angler not far away, Yan Jiecheng opened his eyes and quickly began to reel in his rod.

When the fish was brought ashore, fellow anglers from around came over.

"Wow, this fish is quite big, probably weighing four or five pounds."

"It must be at least five or six kilograms. I finally saw someone catch a big fish."

……

Yan Jiecheng put the fish into the fishing bucket and threw the hook into the water again.

This time, Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to use the golden finger again. Just after using it that time, Yan Jiecheng felt a little weak.

It's funny to say that although Yan Jiecheng did not use the golden finger later, fish kept coming to the bait.

Just after noon, there were seven or eight fish in Yan Jiecheng's bucket, weighing almost twenty pounds in total.

Seeing that he had caught so many fish, Yan Jiecheng packed up and planned to go home.

At this time, an old man came to Yan Jiefang and said.

"Young man, you caught so many fish, I'm sure your family can't eat them all. How about we switch?"

If the other party said to buy, Yan Jiecheng would definitely turn around and leave, but if the other party said to exchange, it was not impossible.

"Uncle, my fish is not small. How do you plan to exchange it?"

Nowadays, pork in Beijing costs about 80 cents per pound, and you need a meat ticket.

This fish is much cheaper, but it is still around fifty cents. Yan Jiecheng would not be willing to pay if the other party offered too little.

The old man looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, then he continued speaking in a low voice.

"That biggest fish looks like it weighs five pounds. So, I'll take five pounds of grain coupons, six feet of cloth coupons, and three cigarette coupons. Is that okay with you?"
