The 40 m² apartment is enough for one person, with a bedroom and living room occupying 25 m², a bathroom and a kitchenette.

After Ji An finished speaking, Lu Xiaoming said: "I want to live casually, but I don't have money, I'm poorer than you." "He remembered Ji An's live broadcast income and scolded: "Why are you crying with me?"

Ji An: "I didn't bring a credit card when I came out, and I can't change RMB casually outside." My mom has dollars in her hand, but what money she gave me is enough?

Anyway, how long has it been since school started, and you have no money?

"Well, it's all on the table. I also owe more than $800 to my neighbors for these things. Lu Xiaoming gestured to a bunch of parts and electronic components on the table, as well as GoPro and drones.

Ji An looked at it and said, "I'll go, are you going to build an atomic bomb?"

", I told you you you didn't understand. This week happens to be autumn vacation, and I have to go to work part-time after lunch in a while......" Lu Xiaoming suddenly thought of something and asked, "You are very good at fishing?"

Ji An said: "No, the first person in Huaguo Tamsui Luya, hmm...... Now sea fishing can be regarded as the first person. ”

"Really, don't blow it?" asked Bean Sprouts suspiciously.

Ji An: "What am I lying to you for?" ”

Although Lu Xiaoming's temper is stinky and hard, his big head is not white, he also watched the video of Ji An fishing in Xitan when he walked the panda, and he was still in China when the Wucheng news was on the reservoir along the river, so he naturally knew. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and looked at Ji An: "Do you want to make a sum of money?"

"How?"

"A fishing tackle shop next to where I work has a monthly tournament where the biggest and heaviest fish caught are awarded $2,500 based on the target fish weight set for that month. The only requirement is that they must wear a T-shirt with the words "Tackle Shop" printed on it, and the videos and photos must be transferred to them to upload to the Tackle Shop's website.

This month's target fish species is pike, and the final selection will be made the day after tomorrow, how about it? If you are sure, I will quit my part-time job, and I will be responsible for shooting videos for you, and I have both gopro and drones.

But if we can't catch it, we won't survive for more than a month, and we'll all starve to death. ”

"Pike, that's freshwater ......fishing," Ji An hesitated.

Lu Xiaoming frowned: "What?

Ji An's tone changed: "I mean that freshwater fishing is not a challenge, isn't this giving us money for nothing?"

"Your uncle!"

…………

In fact, Ji An can shoot videos by himself, and he also has "GoPro and UAV (Treasure Crab)", so he doesn't need Lu Xiaoming to follow. It's just that he has to pay the rent anyway, right?

At noon, a pot of rice and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Ji An didn't feel dull at all, which was much more flavorful than the chicken salad made by Burger King, Subay, or McGee's wife. He is not used to Western food.

The two decided to start work in the afternoon, downstairs in the garage, Lu Xiaoming launched two bicycles and pointed to a mountain trail: "This one is my neighbor's, he returned to Miami for autumn vacation, you ride first." ”

Ji An put the fat tiger in his bag, and Lu Xiaoming also carried a bag, which contained shooting equipment.

Just on the way, Lu Xiaoming took Ji An through Chinatown, and most of the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, and aged vinegar that international students usually need for cooking, including the necessary old godmother, have to come to Chinatown to buy.

They also encountered a small protest when a group of bored people under the banner of animal protection blocked the front of a Chinese trading house in Chinatown to protest the sale of live poultry (live chickens) in the shop.

What's even funnier is that Ji An also saw a few Chinese inside.

Lu Xiaoming gestured to one of the girls: "She is a year older than me, she is a student of bioengineering at UCLA, and she joined the local Chinese church in Angel City. ”

Ji An chuckled lightly and didn't say anything.

More than 20 minutes later, the two came to the fishing tackle shop near Lu Xiaoming's place of work, bolted the fat tiger outside the door and waited.

The fishing tackle shop is quite large, and not only sells fishing gear, but also has an aquarium that sells all kinds of saltwater ornamental fish.

You have to get a license to fish in the United States, and to put it bluntly, you can pay $50 to the California Fisheries Association and you can fish for a year. You don't need an ID card or passport to apply for a fishing license, you only need to fill in your name and date of birth, however, when the local police come to check, the information on the fishing license must be the same as that on the ID card and passport.

If you are caught fishing without a license, you will be fined $300.

Lu Xiaoming now has $400 on him, $50 for a fishing license, $40 for the registration fee, two T-shirts with the logo of the fishing tackle shop on them, and the remaining $310 for fishing tackle.

There is fishing tackle in Ji'an's bag, but this time the target is a pike, and whoever catches it knows the power. Since he wants to fish big, his "poisonous snake" lure rod and 16 catties of lure line can't bear it, except for the fishing reel, everything else has to be replaced.

"Why are you carrying a reel in your bag?" asked Lu Xiaoming.

"Eater, of course, you have to carry it with you. ”

There is no need to buy expensive fishing reels, and the bean sprouts are relieved, but when Ji An chooses other fishing tackle, he only chooses the expensive ones, not the right ones.

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it, why should you wronged yourself?"

At the end of the checkout, Lu Xiaoming looked at the $280 and there was only 30 left, and he said bitterly: "I can't get the bonus in two days, I really have to starve to death at home......"

Ji An: "What's the panic, my brother who didn't eat went to the river to throw two poles, anyway, I won't starve you." ”

The two went out and prepared to find a fishing spot. I happened to run into an old man at the door chatting with the clerk.

A typical old man from the United States, with a western accent, a shiny Mediterranean Sea on his head, a red nose, and a person who is not too fat, but has a beer belly.

Clerk: "Old John, you've been winning prizes for 3 months in a row, and if you want to get it again this time, you can go buy lottery tickets." ”

The clerk is right, fishing is secondary, and luck is king.

Old John laughed and said: "Hahaha~ I am a Caucasian man in the United States, and I have already won the lottery when I was born." ”

Hearing this, Ji An raised his eyebrows, this old man's words accounted for all the racial discrimination, gender discrimination, and nationality (regional) discrimination.

Ignore him, it's important to make money now.

Outside the door, there was an old guy next to Fat Tiger, Ji An frowned and looked: "This dog ......"

The dog is a corgi, very old, and its physical condition shows: dying.

Finding the king, old McCorgi struggled to get up and walked to Ji An.

Ji Anxin rubbed its head in pain, its life was about to arrive.

Corgi whimpered softly and licked Ji An. Immediately, Ji An looked helplessly with a bitter face.

The system prompts: "The Dog King Mission, the old dog's deathbed entrustment." ”

Old McCorgi asks Ji An to train a shepherd dog for John Sr., who has been with him all his life, to help manage the animal farm.

Reward: 500 points.

Although it is not difficult for Ji An to train a good dog, Ji An really doesn't want to bird the old guy inside.

"Woo~" Old McCorgi whimpered again, raised his head and begged to look at Ji An.

What else could he do?
