Chapter 4
A Bountiful Fishing Haul!

Qin Huai Ru's little schemes, if Luo Xiao Qing knew.

She would definitely say: “Sister, thanks for not marrying!”

After all, this woman married Jia Dong Xu, and Jia Dong Xu died in a work-related accident.

What if she’s a widow-maker?

Luo Xiao Qing brought Duo Duo and Guo Guo to Shi Sha Hai. Because of the heavy snow for several days.

On the ice surface of Shi Sha Hai, there are footprints everywhere.

Luo Xiao Qing looked around, first looking for a place with plenty of sunshine and deeper water.

Usually, such places have more fish, to put it plainly, this is where fish can overwinter.

Then Luo Xiao Qing forcefully chiseled the ice surface open, and then started fishing.

At this time, many fishermen were wandering along the shore with their fishing rods.

Seeing Luo Xiao Qing sitting on the ice, they couldn't help but be curious:

“Little brother, can you catch fish like this?”

Luo Xiao Qing: “Give it a try, we can't starve at home.”

“Hey, my family is the same, my wife just gave birth, I can't even feed myself, where can I get milk to feed the child.

This life is really miserable!”

Luo Xiao Qing didn't speak, patiently waiting for the fish to take the bait.

But after waiting for a long time, the fish still didn't take the bait.

Duo Duo and Guo Guo looked at the lake with longing eyes: “Brother, can we eat fish?”

“Gurgling~”

As soon as the words fell, Duo Duo and Guo Guo's stomachs began to rumble.

Luo Xiao Qing sighed and pulled up the fishing rod, looking at the empty hook.

He had all the skills in the world, but without bait, it was hard to catch fish!

Seeing this scene, the old man blew his top:

“Hey, young man, why are you fishing without bait?”

“Hey, times are tough, this young man must be starving crazy!”

“Young man, go home quickly, don't starve yourself and freeze yourself sick.”

Luo Xiao Qing wouldn’t believe it, he looked at the hook, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

I got it!

He has spiritual spring water in his space, what if he dips the hook in spiritual spring water, will it attract fish?

No sooner said than done.

Luo Xiao Qing took some spiritual spring water from his space, soaked it on the fish hook, and put it in the water.

The spiritual energy of the spiritual spring water quickly attracted fish.

Luo Xiao Qing took a closer look, good heavens, it was a forty-jin big fish!

“Duo Duo, Guo Guo, move away a little, a big fish is coming up!”

Duo Duo and Guo Guo cheered: “Great, we have fish to eat today!”

The fishermen watching from the side were stunned.

“No bait and still caught fish? Won’t it be a blind, small fish?”

“Splash~”

With a loud sound of water, the forty-jin big grass carp was pulled onto the ice.

“This… it's a big fish?”

“Young man, will you sell this fish?”

It’s 1952 now, there’s no joint public-private ownership yet, no tickets, no need to worry about profiteering.

“Sell! But, grandpa, I can still catch other fish, do you want them all?”

“Oh? Young man, how do you know you can still catch fish?”

Luo Xiao Qing put on a serious face: “Because I believe in myself!”

The old man’s sharp eyes looked up and down Luo Xiao Qing, he looked for a while, and then frowned.

This young man looks a lot like an old friend of his, but who it is.

He couldn’t remember for a moment.

“Haha, good, young man, just for this sentence, I’ll take however many fish you catch today!

At the market price!”

Luo Xiao Qing’s eyes lit up when he heard this, if he can earn more money by fishing, then this winter shouldn’t be a problem.

Looking at Duo Duo and Guo Guo’s thin cotton clothes, Luo Xiao Qing was full of motivation.

He once again soaked the fish hook in spiritual spring water and cast it out.

The people beside him couldn’t help but remind him: “Young man, the first time you caught a fish without bait was because you were lucky.

This time, it won’t work!”

Luo Xiao Qing: “Since I was lucky the first time, I can be lucky the second time, I believe I can do it!”

The old man who bought the fish looked at Luo Xiao Qing with admiration, this young man, his eyes are firm, he sticks to his beliefs, promising young man.

“The fish is on the hook!”

“No, it’s not a fish! It’s a turtle!”

“Good heavens, this must be a twenty-jin wild turtle?”

Luo Xiao Qing didn’t expect that his spiritual spring water could even catch a turtle.

“Grandpa, do you want this turtle? If you don’t want it, I’ll put it back!”

“I want it, I want it!”

The old man looked at the turtle as if it were a treasure, his eyes gleaming.

Under the blessing of his heaven-defying talent, Luo Xiao Qing’s fishing skills became more and more proficient.

In a short while, he caught dozens of jin of fish of various sizes.

“Old man, except for these small fish, I’ll sell the rest, you calculate how much it costs!”

“Carp and grass carp, the market price is two mao five per jin.

There’s about one hundred jin out there, just count it as one hundred and ten jin for you, a total of twenty-seven yuan five mao.

As for this turtle, a flat price of forty yuan, how about that?”

This price is fair, Luo Xiao Qing readily agreed: “Okay, grandpa, I’ll help you send it back!”

“No need, someone will come to pick me up later!”

The old man waved his hand, carried the fish to one side, and in a short while, a man pushing a bicycle came over.

Luo Xiao Qing’s eyes flashed, people who could ride bicycles in this era were not ordinary families.

Luo Xiao Qing packed up the remaining fish.

There were also some small miscellaneous fish, Duo Duo and Guo Guo were reluctant to throw them away, so they put them all in the bucket.

When no one was around, Duo Duo and Guo Guo excitedly hugged Luo Xiao Qing's legs:

“Brother, aren’t we going to starve anymore?”
