14. Fishing is a technical activity [1/2]
----
The Yangtze River blocked the road, and the river was filled with sand, which was really unreliable. The entire Mengniang Tour group was piled up by the river, thinking about how to cross this big river.
"Take a raft and take it over." Yi Yun proposed.
"But... there are no trees." An Qian looked around and there was endless yellow sand on all sides. Not to mention trees, even the little tree could not see any of them.
Yi Yun then remembered that this is a desert, where can I find trees? It is easy to find cactus, and that thing is everywhere. But cactus cannot be used to build rafts.
"Then how should other caravans cross the Yangtze River?" Yi Yun asked curiously.
"Uh... I think about it carefully. I have never left the house. I heard from my father about everything outside. He has traveled to many places to do business before. When he comes home, he will occasionally tell me about something outside." An Qian frowned and thought hard.
She thought about it carefully for a while and suddenly clapped her hands, "I remembered that I was walking upstream along the Yangtze River. There is a Luzhou called Jiangjin. The Jiangjin rice candy in our brigade is produced there (see Chapter 5, the goods such as Jiangjin rice candy are included in the goods carried by the brigade). There is a long wooden bridge in Jiangjin across the Yangtze River, and caravans traveling south and north cross the river from there."
Jiang Jin Yiyun was secretly funny. Few Chongqing people in later generations didn’t know about Jiang Jin because Jiang Jin’s rice candy is very famous and is well-known throughout the country. Moreover, Jiang Jin’s Simian Mountain is a good place for Chongqing people to travel on weekends. Of course, Yiyun, the otaku, has never traveled, but has seen photos of Simian Mountain on the computer.
In short, having a goal is better than not having one!
The brigade walked upstream along the Yangtze River, and there was a rushing "river water" around him. The hot river breeze blew on his face. It was at least better to walk around in the desert without direction. Yi Yun was always worried that he would get lost and die after following An Qian, who was insane, and now he was as a guide to the desert, and he felt much more at ease.
In the evening of that day, the brigade camped on the edge of the Yangtze River, and a group of girls began to raise the fire and cook.
Yi Yun looked at it and saw that it was Fuling pickled rice again... This is simply unbearable! Should he change his job to a "24-hour self-house guard" and then use his passive skill to "simple diet" to survive? Such a life is too sad. How can we improve the food?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the "guard" Xiaoyu looking at the rolling Shahe next to him and sighed: "It's a pity... such a big river is by our side, but we don't have the ability to fish and eat."
"Fishing?" Yi Yun felt like he was hit by someone with a hammer on his head: "Are you wrong? Can there be fish in this kind of sand river? I can't hear it wrong?"
"Of course there are fish, there are so many fish in the Shahe River." Xiaoyu said seriously: "But there are too few people in our Chongqing Luzhou who know how to fish. The little fish that comes every day is not enough for supply. Even wealthy businessmen like the master and the second lady cannot afford it. Only high-ranking officials are qualified to eat fish..."
Yi Yun: "..."
Damn, this world cannot bear it, there are fish in the Shazi River. I have a kind of swearing and I can’t vent. Forget it, I will lose if I am serious. I’d better think about fishing and improve the taste. Eating Fuling pickled cabbage every day will go crazy.
Although Yi Yun is an otaku, he has not had a long history of becoming an otaku. Before he bought a computer at home, he did not stay home. Because his home is by the Jialing River, he often swims in the river when he was a child and fishes on the river, so he has a lot of experience in fishing. If this world without moral integrity has a little similarity to his own world, maybe the fishing technology is useful, right?
"Xiao Yun'er, go and find a pole for me and make another solid cotton thread. The longer the better."
Xiao Yun'er nodded happily. The greatest happiness of being able to help her master was her master. She jumped away and soon, she took a bamboo pole used to drive camels in the team, bringing a large handful of solid cotton threads.
Yi Yun stared at An Qian's head for a long time, staring at one of her jewelry, which was an iron bun with a very sharp stitch, so she said, "Take me your bun, I'll use it as a fish hook and fish."
"Fishing?" An Qian exclaimed: "This is a very difficult thing. There are not many people in our Chongqing Luzhou. Do you really know how to fish?"
"Of course I understand." Yi Yun said proudly: "When we were kids... cough... by the way, I lost my memory. When I was a kid, I forgot about it."
An Qian took off her bun half-believingly, reached out and handed it to Yi Yun, and said in her mouth: "Although this bun is also a valuable thing, the rareness of fish is extraordinary. If you can catch a fish, it will be enough to have a hundred such buns..."
"Hmph, leave it to me." Yi Yun patted his chest confidently. As long as there are fish in the Yangtze River and as long as the world is not completely different from his own world, then fishing should be fine. He took the bun, twisted the stitches, made a fish hook, and then wrapped it with solid cotton thread around the head of the bamboo pole he just found, turning it into a beautiful fishing rod.
After doing all this, he suddenly felt sweaty on his forehead. It was so miserable that there was no bait! I originally planned to dig earthworms, but can I dig earthworms in this desert?
Just as he thought of this, An Qian beside him suddenly stared at a sand hole on the ground, slashed over a "sword energy". With a loud bang, sand and dust rose, and the body of a dead scorpion appeared in front of Yi Yun in four or five divisions.
"Oh, just use this thing as bait. I hope the fish in the Yangtze River will eat scorpions." Yi Yun wiped his sweat and hooked the scorpion on the hook. Then he took the fishing rod and walked to the river easily, shook his hand, and threw the hook into the river with a very beautiful movement...
When I heard that he was going to fish, all the girls from the Cute Girl Tour group gathered around, and many girls chattered: "He really wants to fish?"
"This is a very difficult technique!"
"I heard that no more than ten people in Chongqing will..."
"So cool, I can actually watch people fishing with my own eyes!"
"It should fail..."
"If you really catch fish, it's not your turn to eat it. Only the second lady is qualified to eat it..."
The girls were talking, which made Yi Yun laugh and cry.
He turned his head and said amusedly: "Don't make a noise. The noise is too loud. The fish dare not bite the hook when they hear the sound. In fact, fishing is not difficult. Let me tell you some skills..."
Yi Yun whispered: "Looking at the movement of the float, you can know what fish you have caught, and you can lift the rod in the corresponding way. For example, when the crucian carp bites the hook, the float will slightly stir, sink and then float up. When this happens, you should lift the rod when the float is floating..."
"If the float shakes a few times apart and then sinks quickly, it means that the carp bites the hook. You should lift the rod immediately when the float is not over..."
"If it's a tilapia bites the hook, the float will tremble up and down rapidly. As long as I choose to lift the rod when the float rises and tilts, I will definitely be able to catch it..."
Yi Yun was very excited, but An Qian next to him looked confused and said seriously: "Young Master Yi, what are the crucian carp, carp, tilapia you mentioned... I have never heard of it. Are there these fish in the world?"
When Yi Yun heard this, his heart sank, and a bad premonition arose in his heart: "Then what fish have you heard of?"
An Qian said seriously: "I have heard of sand bass, sand whales, sand sharks...what will happen if these fish bite the hook?"
Yi Yun: "..."
No, I'm going to be cheated!
Yi Yun just thought of this, and suddenly felt the fishing rod on his arm nodding suddenly. The float on the river surface sank very quickly, and then suddenly floated upwards. Then, a huge fish head rushed out of the sand surface... This was an extremely huge fish. The fish head alone was as big as the front of a truck. The huge fish eyes were as big as a washbasin. They were staring at Yi Yun by the river angrily...
Its body then jumped out of the sand surface, splashing a large piece of sand in the sand river. With just a leap, Yi Yun had already seen its full picture. This thing was at least twenty meters long, and five or six people could only hold it so thick with their hands. The whole body was covered with thick scales. Obviously, because it was swimming in the sand, it needed very strong fish scales. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, you could feel that it was almost invulnerable to swords and guns!
Damn, what the hell is this? Yiyun Khan!
