Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 3 Mr. Yan is shameless

In the afternoon, Zhang Heping continued to run to the beach of Houhai and hang up his phone to fish.

Zhang Heping did not persuade his mother Ma Xiuzhen to be hesitant. She even went to the pigeon market frequently, so she was definitely not a pedantic person.

What's more, taking up the post is related to the food and clothing of the whole family, so she can't tolerate not paying attention to it!

The key is, will his cheap father wake up soon?
  After waking up, will he cooperate in pretending to be sick so that his mother can take over the job?
  Eliminating distracting thoughts, Zhang Heping concentrated on hanging up and fishing, with his hands in his sleeves and his body still curled up, squatting next to the iron bucket.

The reason why I don't ride in an iron barrel is because the iron sheet freezes my buttocks.

As his fishing skills improved, Zhang Heping's mind often had more fishing experiences and techniques appearing out of thin air.

During this period, some passers-by were curious and came over to watch Zhang Heping fishing. Some even more mean-spirited people directly pulled up the hemp rope at Zhang Heping's feet. When the bitch was shocked to find that it was an empty iron hook, he felt that he had been deceived and couldn't help but complain to Zhang Heping. The fool was frozen for a while.

Zhang Heping would occasionally lose his mind, causing the [Thinking] skill progress prompt to pop up in his mind frequently, reminding him not to lose his mind.

Reflection: Mastery (1%).
  After a skill reaches the proficiency level, for every 1% increase in proficiency, it will take about 49 seconds of concentration and idle time before the next prompt comes.

As for the proficiency improvement after completing the fishing skill, because Zhang Heping does not have a watch, he can only rely on silent counting at present. The interval will be about 420 times before the increase will be 1%.

When the sky darkened in the afternoon and Zhang Heping's stomach growled, his [Fishing] skill proficiency had only increased to Dacheng (28%).

However, with the latest fishing experience and skills that appeared in Zhang Heping's mind, he realized an empty hook fishing technique, the hook shaking method.

This method is to shake the fishing line, swing the underwater fishhook, and shake out special frequency water waves in the surrounding waters to attract nearby fish schools, and finally catch a silly fish from the fish school that is willing to bite the empty hook.

After acquiring the hook-shaking fishing technique, Zhang Heping took his hands out of his sleeves, breathed into his palms, rubbed his hands, put away his tools, went to the middle of the ice, looked for holes in the ice that others didn't want, and then fished seriously.

This plug-in was magical. The relevant experience and skills not only appeared in his mind out of thin air, but also seemed to be engraved into his bones. The hook-shaking techniques and skills came at a glance.

In less than five minutes, he hooked the first fish, a small fish two fingers wide.

Zhang Heping thought about last night's New Year's Eve dinner, which was clear and watery. He couldn't help but bite off the fish head and used the fish head as bait instead. He must catch more fish today and go home to improve the food.

After he lowered his hook into the water, he was seen emptying out the internal organs of the small fish and throwing them into the ice hole. Then he washed the small fish and ate them raw to replenish calories.

Fishing with bait is much smoother than fishing with an empty hook.

Using the smelly little fish head as bait and the help of hook-shaking skills, in less than two minutes, Zhang Heping caught a snakehead fish four fingers wide, weighing at least a pound and a half.

The small fish head was not scrapped, and Zhang Heping continued to set the hook.

As Zhang Heping frequently retracted his hooks to lift fish, many people noticed something unusual here and gradually gathered around.

"Kid, can you sell me two of your fish?"

Zhang Heping, who was concentrating on shaking his hook, was tapped on the shoulder and found that there were more than a dozen adults around him.

One of the middle-aged men in blue overalls pointed to the frozen dead fish on the ice and asked again: "Kid, can you sell me two fish for 1 yuan?"

Looking at the 1 yuan handed over to him, Zhang Heping didn't pay attention at first. If he had put this little money in his previous life, he wouldn't have picked it up even if it dropped on the ground.

I saw him silently holding the bucket in front of him, trying to pick up all the frozen fish scattered around into the bucket, but he could only fit 9 large ones, and there were more than ten that could not be loaded.

"Kid, the fish in the market are only 3 cents a pound. If you can't take them all home, why not sell me two."

"3 cents per catty?" Zhang Heping then realized that the prices at this time were very low, and 5 yuan was equivalent to the purchasing power of more than 1 yuan before rebirth!

Then, Zhang Heping stood up quickly, grabbed the 1 yuan and stuffed it into his cotton trouser pocket.

Then, I saw him pretending to be mute and picking up three fish that were as wide as a palm, and handed them to the middle-aged man with a few "Aba Aba" sounds. Acting: Beginner (3%).
  After the middle-aged man happily took the three fish, he said to the people around him: "I say to you gentlemen, don't you want to pick up the fresh fish for free if you don't want to vote for it? If you want to eat fish, please pay for it. It's too late." It was bought by someone else.”

A middle-aged man stood up for Zhang Heping. After someone around him took out money, others quickly paid for fish.

After Zhang Heping collected another 5 yuan and 5 cents, he shook his head and refused to sell. He quickly collected the tools, carried the remaining 4 large black fish in the bucket, and carefully slid towards the east bank.

When Zhang Heping returned to the courtyard in the dark, he was guarded by Yan Bugui in the front yard.

"Hey! Heping, where did this fish come from?" The third uncle Yan Bugui stared at the bucket held by Zhang Heping in his right hand with his eyes gleaming.

"Fishing from Houhai." Zhang Heping replied casually. He wanted to leave but was held back by Yan Bugui.

"Heping, I heard that your dad was injured and hospitalized. It's dark now and it's hard to walk. If you want to go to the hospital, the third uncle can take you there by bicycle. Just give me a fish as payment."

"fish?"

Zhang Heping followed Yan Bugui's gaze and looked at the iron barrel. When he thought about the comments made by netizens in his previous life about this man as "there is a bottom line", Zhang Heping's mind couldn't help but become active.

"Third uncle, do you have any hot pots at home? I'll trade fish for you. I've been hungry all afternoon." Zhang Heping said, casually grabbing a piece of frozen fish and handing it over.

Yan Bugui caught the fish tail, but did not see Zhang Heping let go of the fish head, and quickly said: "Yes, yes! There is still one steamed bun in my cupboard. Give me the fish, and I will get it for you right away!"

Zhang Heping didn't know if grandma and the others had eaten dinner. After letting go of the fish head, he grabbed another frozen fish and handed it over, "These two fish should weigh 4 kilograms. I'll give you 6 steamed buns."

Anyway, his fishing skills are already perfect. He doesn't care about this small amount of fish. At worst, he will go fishing tomorrow.

After Yan Bugui grabbed a fish in one hand, he happily agreed, "Deal! I'll get you some steamed buns right now!"

After the third uncle, Yan Bugui, used a chopstick to skewer six small steamed buns and handed them to Zhang Heping, he told Zhang Heping seriously that the chopsticks had to be returned to him.

Zhang Heping looked at the six small steamed buns about the same size as jujubes, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, Mr. Yan is shameless!
  When Zhang Heping walked towards the middle courtyard without saying a word, Yan Bugui followed him shamelessly, asking where and how Zhang Heping caught fish, and whether he would go tomorrow...

Yan Bugui followed Zhang Heping all the way to the backyard. After getting his chopsticks, he still pestered Zhang Heping to ask about fishing.

Zhang Heping was annoyed and loudly told his mother Ma Xiuzhen, who was making dinner, that the third uncle had exchanged six small steamed buns with him for two frozen fishes, and then Yanbu Guishan left.

"Mom, these are the fish I caught in Houhai today, following the example of others. Let's eat them tonight!"

Zhang Heping's proposal was not adopted, and he didn't even get a fish.

Yan Laoha gave Zhang Heping 6 small steamed buns, which made Ma Xiuzhen look a little unhappy, but she didn't say anything more, broke all the steamed buns into pieces and put them into the pot.

Ma Xiuzhen asked her second daughter, Zhang Pandi, to take care of the paste in the pot, while she went out with the two fish in a bucket for a while.

Zhang Heping frowned at the door and saw one fish sent to the second uncle's house next door, and one fish sent out of the backyard.

Just when Zhang Heping was wondering who his mother was giving the other fish to, the aunt from the middle courtyard chased him with a white cloth bag. After several humiliations, his mother Ma Xiuzhen had no choice but to accept a pound of stick noodles.

After the first aunt left with the cloth bag, the second aunt next door also came over with a white cloth bag. After comforting her mother Ma Xiuzhen for a while, she also left a pound of stick noodles.

Zhang Heping met his mother's meaningful gaze, as if he had experienced a live teaching and understood a lot at once.

Compared with the first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong, the third uncle Yan Bugui is even more shameless.
