Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Corn Pitcher Goes Online
"What's the matter, junior brother is not satisfied with this price?"
Looking at Liu Qing in front of him with some hesitation, Lu Xu continued:
"Senior brother, have you inquired about the prices of other pond owners before?
In fact, compared to other pond owners, the price here is indeed a bit more expensive, but the quality of the fish in my fish pond is much higher than theirs.
Let's just say that the carp you want to catch, the largest in other people's ponds weighs only ten catties, and the general one is about four or five catties.
And in my case, the smallest carp can reach eight pounds.
It was this time yesterday that a junior disciple from the outer gate had just sat down and threw a rod, and he directly caught a fifteen-pound big carp.
According to the current market price, fifteen catties of carp can be sold for forty-five low-grade spirit stones.
In addition to the fishing fee for three hours, you can also earn a full fifteen spirit stones. ”
While explaining to Liu Qing the reason why his price was expensive, Lu Xu was still thinking about it in his heart.
Judging from the clothes in front of him, the junior disciple in front of him was obviously a registered disciple.
But shouldn't the registered disciples be cultivating hard for the sect's assessment now? ’
Looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, it doesn't look like the kind of hopeless assessment.
Moreover, one of his registered disciples was able to have extra spirit stones for fishing.
'Isn't it a relationship?' ’
Reminds me of the rumor that has been spreading at the inner door lately.
Lu Xu finally believed: This junior brother is definitely not that simple.
At least, there must be a lot of spirit stones in his pocket.
'Then I'm going to have to kill him!' ’
At the level of an inner disciple, he didn't care whether the other party was a relational or not.
In his eyes, the current Liu Qing has become an unjust seed who can explode spirit stones madly.
He had to find a way to keep Liu Qing fishing with him.
"Otherwise, I see that you are also here for the first time, junior brother, and I will add an extra braised carp rice to you as a meeting gift, how about it?"
Because each fish pond defaults to three hours of fishing, it will cross noon during this period.
Therefore, the owner of the pond will also provide paid lunches for anglers.
The braised carp here in Lu Xu is all from the spirit carp raised in the pond.
The braised carp rice made from this kind of carp can be sold at a market price of about half a lower grade spirit stone.
When Lu Xu was making a small calculation, Liu Qing was also choosing the pros and cons in his heart.
Judging from the current situation, he is dressed in a gray robe, and the identity of the registered disciple is clearly revealed.
Around Sword Lake, I'm afraid that Lu Xu is not the only pond owner who will increase his fishing fees.
Instead of changing to other fish ponds to ask and continue to hit the wall, it is better to save time and choose this one directly.
As for the braised carp rice, Liu Qing thought it was dispensable.
He doesn't really want to have too much friendship with this Lu Xu now.
First, Lu Xu made him very unhappy with his killing behavior.
This made Liu Qing have the idea of wanting to teach him a good lesson.
Second, since you want to punish him, you must start with fishing.
As long as the total value of the fish that Liu Qing catches in the end is far greater than the fishing fee he paid, it will make Lu Xu, as the owner of the pond, lose money crazy.
But once he has a casual relationship with this Lu Xu, it will affect the follow-up operation.
The best-case scenario is to establish the simplest trading relationship with him.
After making up his mind, Liu Qing looked at Lu Xu in front of him again.
"Since Senior Brother said so, then I'll fish here."
"But there's one thing, the fish I finally caught can't stop me from taking it."
"Also, I like to be quiet when I'm fishing, and I ask my brother not to come and disturb me until the time is up."
Seeing Liu Qing's serious face, Lu Xu smiled.
"Although I can rest assured, I have been operating a fish pond for many years, and I still understand these rules."
"As long as you pay the fishing fee, you can take all the fish you catch."
After getting Lu Xu's affirmative answer, Liu Qing took out thirty lower-grade spirit stones from the storage ring and handed them to Lu Xu.
"That's three hours of fishing."
After taking the spirit stone, Lu Xu simply counted it with his eyes, and put it away after being accurate.
"Do you need bait? My bait here ......"
"No need, I brought my own bait."
Hearing that the other party still wanted to sell bait to him, Liu Qing hurriedly interrupted.
Then he said goodbye to Lu Xu and went to the lake to choose a fishing spot.
According to Liu Qing's current knowledge, carp naturally likes weak light and has the habit of "avoiding the heat".
Although it was autumn now, the location where the Qingling Sect was located was still a little hot.
Therefore, Liu Qing next chose a shady and deep water place as his fishing location.
After looking around the pond, he finally settled on the side of a large willow tree.
Although this large willow tree is rooted in the shore of the lake, its entire torso grows diagonally towards the lake.
This creates a huge shady field on the lake in front of it.
Moreover, the water flow here is slow and the water level is deep, which is the best fishing spot that Liu Qing is looking for.
Coming to the side of the big willow tree, Liu Qing began to build a fishing platform.
After setting up the fishing platform, he took out the bait he had prepared last night with sweet potatoes, cornmeal, and brown sugar.
Take a little water from the lake and stir it.
Finally, the solidified bait is kneaded into a ball shape to facilitate the subsequent bait pulling operation.
After choosing the right fishing rod, line and float, Liu Qing is not in a hurry to hang the bait and take the bait.
Before that, he had a very important job to do: nesting.
There is such a saying in the world of Liu Qing's previous life.
Fishing doesn't make a nest, and you don't catch much. If you want fish to come ashore, you have to exchange food.
The so-called nesting is to put some bait near your favorite fishing spot before you start fishing.
Use these baits to attract all the surrounding fish to form a temporary nest.
In this way, the efficiency and success rate of subsequent fishing will be greatly improved.
Of course, this kind of operation only existed in the experience of Liu Qing's previous life.
In this world, the fishing industry is far from the point where it has adopted the method of nesting.
Taking out the corn that he had soaked in advance, Liu Qing found a small spoon for cooking.
He took a small spoonful of corn kernels in a spoon and threw it directly at the place where he was going to take the bait.
"One spoonful is not enough, then a few more spoonfuls."
"The more you throw, the more you catch."
At this moment, Liu Qing seems to have become a corn pitcher.
Just when Liu Qing was busy throwing spoonfuls of corn into the lake.
Several other anglers not far away noticed his strange behavior.
An outer disciple dressed in black was the first to speak:
"I've been fishing for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen bait thrown into the lake without hooking, which is really weird."
"What's there to wonder about, maybe this junior brother wants to help the pond owner feed the fish.
Maybe the fish in the lake were happy, so they ran to the shore and caught him. ”
"Help the pond owner feed the fish, but you really have you hahahaha."
Because the distance is not too far, Liu Qing can also hear the conversation between them clearly.
Of course, now he has no time to pay attention to the ignorant statements of these air forces.
After a few spoonfuls of corn were dropped, Liu Qing focused all his attention on the surface of the lake.
After a while, some fine bubbles began to bubble up on the surface of the lake.
"This is, the fish are in the nest!"
