This afternoon I need to water my private plot. It'll be faster to collect water from the river and put it into my space. I don't have anything to do right now, so I can go earlier.
While we're at it, let's see if we can bring back some fish?
After thinking it through, I took out some cornmeal and some wild boar liver, chopped them up, and mixed them with the cornmeal.
This method definitely won't attract the fish, so we need to find some aquatic plants that fish like to eat, extract all the essence from them, and then mix them with cornmeal and liver.
Just thinking about it makes me think it would be very attractive to the fish. I could just put these things in a big basket and the fish would automatically walk into the net.
After deciding what to do, I started by chopping up all the internal organs, mixing them with cornmeal, and putting everything in a bowl. I planned to combine it all together once the essence was ready.
I found the two large baskets I used to cut pig feed that morning; they were the only two larger baskets in the house.
He locked the gate and headed towards the river.
As for the medicinal herbs hanging at the entrance, if one doesn't look closely, people might mistake them for useless firewood or dry branches, so they don't bother with them.
As I passed through the fields, I could see the workers in the distance. I felt that they were working so hard, having to do all the work with their own hands, unlike me who could slack off a little.
I really admire them.
Upon arriving at the riverbank, we immediately found aquatic plants that fish like to eat and extracted all the plant essence from the entire plant.
I extracted a large amount of plant essence, about the size of two thumbs put together. It felt like a lot; any more and I wouldn't be able to use it all.
There's no need to hoard them; you can just come here and draw them whenever you want. After all, for Yunxi, this really isn't a difficult thing.
After mixing the bait to attract fish, I went directly to a place where the water was neither too deep nor too shallow. After putting the basket down, it completely covered the basket, and the water level was about 40 or 50 centimeters above the surface.
I put a large rock directly inside the basket to weigh it down, so I don't have to worry about it floating up.
Then they took the mixed bait, shaped it into small balls, about the size of a little finger, and threw four or five balls into each basket.
There's still a large clump left, so I'll store it in my spatial storage for now.
Next, she just had to wait quietly. Yunxi was quite confident in what she had made. She thought the fish-attracting effect was quite good. At least the plant essences were good for the fish. She didn't believe that the fish could resist the temptation.
In less than a minute, we saw movement in the distance, swimming towards us, slowly getting closer and closer.
Even though Yunxi was very confident, she was still quite excited when the fish was right in front of her. She subconsciously held her breath, afraid of scaring it away.
At first, there was only a little movement, but gradually it became a big commotion, and they all swam towards the basket.
As they got closer to the basket, the smell grew stronger and more attractive to the fish, and they swarmed into the basket.
He slowly reached out and instantly pulled the fish in the water into his spatial storage, not even sparing the fish in the basket on his back.
But more and more fish are swimming over, and Yunxi feels like she can't keep up.
Although I knew that the bait I made was particularly useful, I never expected it to be this useful.
Yunxi remained lying on the shore with her hands in the water. As long as the fish were within a five-meter radius of her, none of them could escape her grasp.
After catching the fish for several minutes, until the activity gradually subsided and no more fish came, I finally got up from where I was lying on the ground.
Yunxi put the two baskets away, and the few thumb-sized baits inside had already scattered a bit.
It seems that the plant essences have been washed away by the water flow, leaving only the bait made of cornmeal and wild boar liver. No wonder it was no longer effective at attracting fish.
Even if it's still useful, the fish here are almost all gone. Although I don't know how wide the bait's attraction range is, with so many fish just caught, the range must be quite wide.
Next, we'll move to a different spot. Yunxi plans to go to a deeper area so we don't need to use such large stones. We can just use smaller stones that won't float away. We can simply tie the rope to a small branch on the bank.
I changed the bait and lay on the ground, waiting quietly.
However, this place is quite far from where we first met, at least a thousand meters away. I suppose the effect of attracting fish should only last for about that distance.
There are definitely no more.
While waiting, Yunxi glanced into her spatial storage and was utterly astonished to see the hundreds or even thousands of fish inside.
She was so focused on collecting the fish that she didn't pay attention to how big or how many fish there were.
Looking at the largest fish in the space, which seemed to weigh twenty or thirty pounds, I felt it was all worthwhile; all the effort I put into researching it wasn't for nothing.
Although it didn't take much effort, exaggerating a bit makes it seem like it wasn't something I could easily create.
Soon, there was movement in the water, just like before.
Yunxi spotted a large bluefish, about a meter long, rushing towards them from afar. She was surprised to find such a large fish in the river.
It must have swum from a large river dozens of kilometers away. Of course, it certainly didn't swim here now, but rather sometime in the past, and then it never returned.
Quickly put your hand in the water and get ready; you can't let such a big fish in.
There were some other fish nearby. Although they were small compared to the big fish, they still weighed about two or three pounds, or even four or five pounds.
I kept repeating to myself, "Receive, receive, receive."
Controlled by mental power, everything that entered within five meters was stored in the space, even the big fish.
I really didn't dare let that big fish get too close to me. What if it swung its tail and knocked me unconscious? That fish was that big; it could hurt people quite badly. I couldn't give it that chance.
I originally thought there was only one of these big fish, since fish that can grow to that size must be very rare.
Unexpectedly, in just a short while, several particularly large fish emerged from the water one after another, some even longer than the previous one, exceeding one meter in length.
