Two o'clock in the morning.
Lin Zhou's expression at this moment was vastly different from his confident and spirited demeanor when he arrived.
The guy next door wouldn't leave, so he felt too embarrassed to move to another spot to burrow.
Although we caught a few fish, they were all small, not even enough to fill a tooth gap, so we had to release them.
What happened to the newbie protection period?
So he waited until three or four in the morning before packing his things to prepare for his retreat.
On his way back, he stopped at the vegetable market. At this time, the market was already open. He bought some fish of different sizes and kinds, put them in a bucket, and prepared to go home.
When the fishmonger saw Lin Zhou carrying a bucket to buy fish at this time, and specifically wild fish, a knowing look flashed in his eyes.
This situation is clearly not unfamiliar to them.
"Buy these small fish. They're all wild-caught. They're a bit more expensive, but it's no different from fishing."
Lin Zhou: ......
"Boss, I'm buying this to eat myself."
The boss didn't argue when he heard what he said, but nodded as if he understood.
Lin Zhou fell even more silent.
Enraged, Lin Zhou silently bargained down the price, asking the shopkeeper for a discount of a few yuan.
Then he carried a bucket of fish and left.
The boss waved to me quite enthusiastically.
He loves doing business with these anglers. They buy a lot of fish, and in large quantities. If they come in a few more every day, he won't have to worry about selling his fish!
......
Lin Zhou even bought a water tank specifically for fishing.
People keep ornamental fish in the aquariums of their villas; it's both beautiful and attractive.
He only raises edible fish, originally intended for fishing, but now that he's poured the fish he bought into the tank, it looks rather awkward.
It's definitely the equipment that's not good enough. Tomorrow after I wake up, I'll go to the fishing tackle shop and get that 200,000 yuan dragon pattern fishing rod. I'm sure I'll be able to catch fish then.
At 9 a.m., the housekeeper and nanny arrived at the villa to start their work.
I wasn't surprised to see a new batch of fish in the tank, and I even helped feed them some fish food.
"So many fish! It seems Mr. Lin had a great harvest yesterday."
"With so many fish, it'll take quite a few days to eat them."
"They're all lively, so we can keep them healthy and feed them slowly."
It was already afternoon when Lin Zhou woke up.
When the stewards saw him come out, they enthusiastically praised him for catching a lot of fish.
Lin Zhou pretended to be nonchalant and agreed.
Today, he is determined to avenge his previous defeat!
First, drive to the mall to get the dragon pattern fishing rod, then go to Puluo Bridge to find a different spot to bait the fishing spot.
When he arrived at the location, he deliberately chose a spot far away from where he had been the day before to place his bait.
This time, the fishing tackle shop owner also introduced him to a new type of fish food, which was given away for free, so he figured he might as well take it.
Use the new fish food to bait the area.
After a series of operations, several hours later, looking at the still calm water, Lin Zhou fell into deep thought.
There's no one around today.
Without hesitation, he changed his spot to place the bait.
Several more hours passed, and the night had deepened.
If I keep fishing, the weekly tasks will be refreshed, and I still haven't seen a big fish.
Could it be that too many people are baiting the fish and they've all eaten their fill?
The fishermen were all speechless.
Next time I'll try fishing somewhere else. There are probably too many people here, and the fish will likely be scared away.
[This week's task: Sell 'fish'. (Location: Nanbin Vegetable Market. Time: 6:00 PM daily.)]
[Recipe: Various Ways to Cook Fish]
[...]
Lin Zhou: ? ? ?
Why did the tasks refresh after midnight today?
Without any preparation, Lin Zhou looked at the task with extremely mixed feelings.
First, accept the task, collect the recipe, and then reprimand the system.
This is so hurtful!
Nanbin Market is the same market where he bought fish yesterday.
He couldn't catch a single fish and had to sell them!
The system is killing you by attacking your spirit!
Are you laughing at him?
Lin Zhou, whose defenses have been completely breached, now becomes extremely agitated at the sight of anything related to fish.
They felt like everyone was just making fun of him, the Air Force officer.
This equipment is garbage; you can't catch a single fish!
Lin Zhou angrily began packing his things to prepare for his retreat.
Luckily, we had plenty of fish at home, so we didn't need to buy any other ingredients; we just killed them all!
Kill them!
......
Since the mission refreshed early, Lin Zhou packed his things and went home.
Because of the Air Force, he lost all interest in playing on his phone and went straight to bed after taking a shower.
The next day, when Steward Sun and the others came over, they saw Lin Zhou squatting in the yard killing fish; he had already killed a whole basin of them.
Housekeepers and nannies: ......
What happened? Weren't we happily fishing yesterday? We even bought a fish tank to keep the fish alive. How come they've all been killed today?
"Mr. Lin, do you need any help?"
Seeing Lin Zhou's hands covered in blood as he expressionlessly stabbed a fish to death, the butler and the others were quite frightened.
This expression doesn't look like a normal fish-killing expression; it's cold and indifferent, like that of a killer.
"No need, I'm almost done killing it. You can wash the fish after you've cleaned it."
These fish are of different species and sizes. Grass carp can only be used to make fermented fish.
Once he got the recipes, he selected several fish dishes suitable for his stall.
Both fermented fish and fried fish are suitable; you can make them at home and sell them at a local stall.
After killing and cleaning the fish, cut it into small pieces, marinate it with salt and seasonings for a few hours, and then put it in the sun to dry.
In other seasons, it might take one or two days of sun-drying to make fish into dried fish.
In September, the sun is so strong that you only need to be in the sun for a few hours.
If you still think it's not dry enough, just put it in the oven to bake, and it will be dry just the same.
