Chapter 13 The Red Armbands Are Coming
The two black fish and two black carp added a total of 12 experience points, the sea bass 5 points, and the thirty-one mandarin fish directly gave 217 experience points. Together with the 61 points left over from last time, there are currently a total of 295 experience points.
Zhang Ze upgraded decisively, and the fishing space immediately expanded by another cubic meter.
[Fishing Space (Level 3)]
[Experience: 0/300]
【Function: None】
【Space size: 3 cubic meters】
[Fishing experience: 95]
Zhang Ze was a little disappointed when he found that no other functions appeared after the upgrade. It seems that if he wants new functions to appear in the space, he has to continue working hard on fishing!
Perhaps it was because it was a little late, the speed of catching fish was obviously much slower.
In the end, Zhang Ze caught eleven mandarin fish, three sea bass and a big silver carp weighing about five kilograms.
The experience value of silver carp is the same as that of black carp, which is also three points.
This fish can be sold for about 30 cents per pound in the market, but Zhang Ze plans to keep it and make a fish head for himself when he has time.
I looked at the experience points and it has reached 190 points. If I continue tomorrow, I can reach level 4. The upgrade speed in the early stage is still considerable.
After packing up his tools, he carried the bucket back, and there were still only a few mandarin fish in the bucket.
Zhang Huihong was waiting for him just like she did last night. Seeing him coming back, she quickly stood up and said, "Aze, are you hungry? Mom made some porridge for you."
Zhang Ze was stunned. He didn't expect that he could still have a midnight snack in this day and age. It turned out that mother is the best in the world.
Soon, Zhang Huihong scooped a bowl of porridge from the pot.
He picked up the bowl and took a look. Oh, it was still a bowl of oil-dregs porridge, sprinkled with some chopped green onions, and it smelled very fragrant.
Fishing is also a physical job, and he was really hungry. The porridge must have been cooked for a while and was not hot, so he drank most of it in one gulp.
"Mom, your porridge is so delicious!"
"Then eat more!" Zhang Huihong said with a smile.
"Don't eat too much at night. How about Qian and the others? Have they eaten yet?"
"They are all asleep. I will cook for them tomorrow."
Obviously, Zhang Huihong made this specially for her son because she was worried that he would have to work hard.
At this moment, she seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Aze, the team leader came over today and asked if he could arrange some work for you so that our family can earn more work points."
"You are selling fish now, but I don't know how long you can sell it, so I didn't say no. It depends on what you think."
You can earn work points during the slack season, and you can still find some things to do in the village, such as carrying fertilizer and water.
Zhang Ze, the team leader of the production team, was a nice guy. He would usually assign work to the poorer families in the production team so that they could earn more work points and get more food money at the end of the year.
His family had been taken care of in previous years, but this year it was obviously impossible for him to earn those work points.
"Mom, ask the captain to arrange someone else. Just say that my uncle has arranged something for me and I can't leave."
It is easy to avoid work during the slack season, but during the busy season, laborers like Zhang Ze have to work.
Of course, money can be used to offset work points, but even if their family becomes really rich, they cannot do so for the time being.
"Okay, I'll talk to the captain tomorrow." Zhang Huihong was not surprised.
Selling fish could earn so much money, there was no way she could persuade her son to earn so few work points.
"Oh, by the way, mom, wake me up at dawn tomorrow morning. I'll take the bus to the county town. I found a way to sell fish today, which is much safer than going to the black market."
Zhang Huihong was pleasantly surprised: "Really? That's great!"
"Yeah, but I probably won't make as much in the future as I did today. Today I mainly sold a lot on the black market!"
"It's better to earn less than nothing. It's best if we can avoid going to the black market."
Before, she couldn't persuade Zhang Ze and could only let him take the risk of going to the black market. Now that he doesn't have to sell fish on the black market, Zhang Huihong is naturally more relieved.
After having a midnight snack, Zhang Ze carried the bucket back to the house.
After looking at Zhang Wu who was sleeping soundly, he thought for a while, put the fish into the fishing space, covered it with the clothes he used to cover his face during the day, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
I slept pretty well, at least I slept until dawn.
He woke up on his own without Zhang Huihong even calling him.
"It's okay to wake up early when you're old, but why do you wake up so early when you're young?" Zhang Ze, who had already sat up, couldn't help but sigh after looking at Zhang Wu who was sleeping like a pig next to him.
After putting on his clothes and walking out of the room, he went to the yard to fetch water to brush his teeth and wash his face.
As if she heard some noise, Zhang Huihong walked out of the house after a while. She was slightly surprised to see Zhang Ze in the yard: "Aze, you got up so early?"
"Maybe he was thinking about getting up early to go to the county town, so he woke up naturally because something was on his mind." Zhang Ze said, spitting out saliva.
"Then mom will make breakfast for you!"
"Okay, I'll eat first and then leave."
"By the way, Mom, I may not be back at noon. I will fish and sell in the county town and come back in the evening."

It's only dawn now and it's summer, so it's probably only around five-ten.
The first bus in town leaves at 6 o'clock, so there is still time.
That is the bus in the county town. If it is in the urban area, the first bus will leave earlier, at 5:45.
After eating a bowl of oil-dregs porridge from last night, Zhang Ze carried the bamboo basket that he had put rice in yesterday and set off with a bucket of water.
After waiting for a while in the town, the bus started on time.
In about half an hour, Zhang Ze arrived at the Yuewan County bus station.
After getting off the bus, he thought for a while and decided to go to the black market first.
There are a lot of fish in the space, so they can be sold faster on the black market.
As for the promise I made to my mother last night that I would not go to the black market, it was just lip service, just to reassure her.
When we arrived at the black market, we found that trading had not stopped just because it was daybreak, but there were half as many people as at night.
This signal clearly tells Zhang Ze that it is easy for something to go wrong if he does business blatantly in broad daylight.
But thinking that he could put the fish into the space at any time, and without the weight, he should be able to run away with his speed. So he decided to take a risk and sell a batch of fish in the space first.
The main reason is that the black market sells quickly, and selling them door to door is too inefficient.
Zhang Ze found a suitable position, and as soon as he put down the bucket, there was a commotion at the entrance of the black market.
"The red armbands are coming, everyone run!"
Someone was the first to notice the situation and even abandoned his own stall and rushed directly towards Zhang Ze.
There was a small woods behind him, and he obviously wanted to leave through the woods.
"Damn!" Zhang Ze immediately picked up the bucket and ran, the bamboo basket on his back shaking constantly.
At this moment, several "beep, beep" whistles were heard behind him, and a group of people with red armbands shouted at them not to run.
But only fools don't run.
Zhang Ze just ran into the woods when he suddenly saw several people wearing red armbands appearing in front of him. The person who had been running the fastest was also the most unlucky and was caught on the spot.
It was obvious that the group of people with red armbands came prepared. They surrounded the group of people and scared them so much that they didn't know what to do.
But at this moment, Zhang Ze keenly discovered that a dark-skinned young man carrying a basket on his back decisively ran to the left.
While running, he also reminded: "Everyone spread out and run!"
Zhang Ze had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow the man decisively.
After running for a short while, he knew he was following the right person.
The man in front was very familiar with the area. He made a few turns and easily got rid of the two men with red armbands who were chasing him.
