When Qin Yuanyao and her group arrived at the farmhouse at the village entrance, Guo Zhuyan and his group had already finished picking out their vegetables and received the first-place prize of fifty yuan.
Guo Zhuyan and the others overheard Xu Miaotong asking Qin Yuanyao to borrow a van from nearby.
When Qin Yuanyao and her group arrived, Guo Zhuyan proudly waved the crucian carp and fifty yuan in his hand at them.
"We took the first place prize. We also took the only fish."
When Chi Nao saw the fish, she thought of the crucian carp soup Qin Yuanyao had made the day before yesterday. She swallowed hard and her eyes widened: "Wow, there are fish too!"
“We have fish, you don’t. We only had one fish, and we took it. If you can be the first group to arrive, you can get the fish,” Guo Yicong said, mimicking his father’s tone with a hint of smugness.
Chi Cheese pouted regretfully.
It's all Aunt Xu's fault!
If it weren't for her, they would definitely have been the first group to arrive.
Qin Yuanyao glanced at Chi Nai's drooping little head and asked, "Do you want to eat fish?"
Chi Nao glanced at the crucian carp in Guo Yicong's hand, shook her head and lied: "I don't want to."
Qin Yuanyao knew exactly what she was thinking.
She chuckled and said, "If you want to eat fish, I'll go fishing for you."
"Really?" Chi Nao's face lit up instantly.
Qin Yuanyao nodded affirmatively.
"I want to eat fish, I want to eat the crucian carp soup you make," Chi Nao said in a clear, childish voice.
"good."
Director Jiang coughed lightly from the side: "Qin Yuanyao, you know how to fish?"
"Yes, I will." Qin Yuanyao glanced at him warily. "What? Do you charge for fishing too?"
"No, no, no, fishing is free." Director Jiang waved his hand, but then changed the subject: "You don't have a fishing rod, do you? I can rent you one for ten yuan."
Qin Yuanyao flatly refused: "No, I don't need your fishing rod."
"How can you fish without a fishing rod?"
"I will do it myself."
Director Jiang: "?"
[What can she do by herself? Can she make her own fishing rods? Qin Yuanyao is probably assembling arms again, isn't she?]
[Qin Yuanyao really thinks she can do everything?! Even if she can barely make a fishing rod, will it even be able to catch any fish? Don't waste Cheese's expectations.]
Qin Yuanyao and her family had just left after selecting the ingredients for dinner when Xu Miaotong's family rushed in in a great hurry.
"Director Jiang, Director Jiang, what place are we?" Xu Miaotong asked breathlessly.
Director Jiang gave a standard smile: "Third."
Xu Miaotong's family happily high-fived each other.
"Do we get a 30 yuan reward?" Gao Li asked.
"Yes." Director Jiang still had his standard smile: "You owe the production team seventeen yuan. After deducting the debt and the twenty yuan accommodation fee for tonight, you still owe the production team seven yuan."
Xu Miaotong was stunned: "What? We still owe you seven yuan?"
Director Jiang nodded: "Yes, you forgot that you still need to pay for tonight's accommodation, didn't you?"
Xu Miaotong: "..."
"It's a good sign that my debt is decreasing. Keep up the good work tomorrow!"
[Hahaha, Director Jiang's addition of that "oh" was so cheeky!]
[If the cheese sees this, it will only reinforce the perception that "Director Jiang is a bad guy."]
[No, no, no, the person above probably doesn't like Xu Miaotong much anymore. In her mind, Xu Miaotong, like Director Jiang, is probably a bad person.]
Kids are such a hassle; if you don't go along with them, they're all bad people.
[Those who speak in a way that identifies themselves as a fan, otherwise anyone who is sarcastic or sarcastic will be treated as a Tong fan.]
After Qin Yuanyao and the others returned to the farmhouse where they were staying, Qin Yuanyao began to make a fishing rod.
She first went to the bamboo grove behind the farmhouse, cut a bamboo of suitable thickness, and cleaned off the bamboo branches and leaves.
Then, she tied several kite strings, which she had asked Aunt Wang for in advance, to the bamboo pole.
Then, she lit a candle, clamped a few needles with pliers, and heated them over the candle.
Chi Naoqi stayed by her side the whole time, asking questions like a curious child.
"Sister Qin, why did you burn the sewing needle?"
"If you heat a sewing needle until it's red-hot, you can make a fishhook."
"Why do we need to heat it until it's red-hot first? Can't we just use it to make the fishhook?"
"If you make a fishhook directly, the sewing needle will break. But if you heat the sewing needle until it's red-hot and softened, it won't break as easily when you make the fishhook."
"Oh." Chi Naoqi lay down next to her, staring at the sewing needle: "Sister Qin, you're amazing! You know everything."
Qin Yuanyao smiled and reminded her, "Don't get too close to me, or you'll burn yourself."
"Yes, I'll be careful," Chi replied crisply.
[Qin Yuanyao's method of making fishing rods is exactly the same one I used when I was a kid! She really knows how to make fishing rods!]
Seeing Qin Yuanyao making a fishing rod reminded me of how I used to do that when I was a child, and I even used earthworms to fish.
When I was a child, I not only used earthworms to fish, but I also used earthworms to catch lobsters.
[To the person above: I had the same childhood as you! I used to fish when I was a kid! The river in our village was clear back then, and it was easy to catch crayfish. You could catch a whole plateful in an afternoon and eat it for dinner. Now, there are no crayfish in the village river at all. Is it because the environment is getting worse?]
From this perspective, Qin Yuanyao does possess some survival skills.
Why did Qin Yuanyao tie so many lines to the fishing rod and make so many hooks? A fishing rod should have one line and one hook per rod.
I think I understand why Qin Yuanyao tied so many threads together...
Qin Yuanyao made five fishhooks and tied them to five lines.
"Let's go fishing!" Qin Yuanyao said, raising the fishing rod she had made.
