This pull was unexpectedly big, and it came suddenly.

But when Zhang Ze was prepared, it was difficult for the fish to run again.

The muscles in his arm tensed, and he grabbed the nylon thread and pulled it back. It's a little strenuous, but it's acceptable.

After dragging the fish twice, Zhang Ze could only stop the stalemate. The temperature was high in the summer, and after a while he was covered in sweat.

It's just that he is very happy in his heart, this strength is enough to taste, and the fish is estimated to weigh at least ten catties.

In his previous life, whenever there was such a big fish, he had to carry the fish everywhere on the street to find a home.

Next, it was his tug-of-war time with the big fish in the water.

Whenever the fish relaxes, he immediately recycles the fishing line, and when the fish exerts force, he tries to stalemate, and if he can't stalemate, he has to loosen the line a little.

After tossing back and forth for about ten minutes, he pulled the big fish to the shore, and then hurriedly dragged the fish mouth to the shore with tongs.

[Successfully caught a mandarin fish, weighing 11.23 catties, experience +7.] 】

Good guy, eleven pounds of mandarin fish, this he can't think of in later generations, it is estimated that only some particularly lucky anglers can catch such a big one, or even bigger than this.

It's a pity that until the loaches ran out, he didn't catch another mandarin fish of more than ten catties.

The hooks were straightened by two, including the one that caught the big mandarin fish just now.

At that time, it took a little longer, and the big mandarin fish ran away.

At present, there are 23 mandarin fish in the fishing space, except for one 11 catties, the others are under 5 catties.

Zhang Ze did the math and found that the mandarin fish totaled more than 97 catties, almost reaching 100 catties.

It's a pity that the bait has run out, and it is not good for him to engage in loaches again at night.

Otherwise, he would have to make a hundred pounds for everything, this damn obsessive-compulsive disorder!

As for the fishing space, there are currently 161 experience points.

The fishing space will not be automatically upgraded because the experience points are enough, it needs Zhang Ze to take the initiative to upgrade, which is quite humane, but it seems to be useless at the moment.

Maybe you will find new uses in the future, such as the empty 'function'.

Zhang Ze's mind moved, and the fishing space was suddenly upgraded to the second level.

【Fishing Space (Level 2)】

[Experience: 0/200]

[Function: None]

[Space size: 2 cubic meters]

【Fishing Experience:61】

After the upgrade, the size of the space was immediately doubled, and the originally crowded space inside suddenly became much more empty, and the fish could swim back and forth freely.

Zhang Ze packed up his tools, rinsed the bucket with river water, and went back along the path he had come.

Seeing a bush in front of him, he struck it with his stick as usual.

As a result, the grass did not move, and a sudden "plop" sound from the water and grass next to the river bank startled him.

Zhang Ze turned his head to look and found that it was a frog that was frightened and jumped into the water.

Just as he was about to go back, something faintly white caught his eye.

By the moonlight, these white things were quite conspicuous, and the shape was like the horns of a cow.

Zhang Ze immediately had a good thing in his mind that he hadn't eaten for a long time - water chestnut.

He used a wooden stick to pull up the plants on the banks of the river, and when he plucked the fruit, he saw that it was indeed water chestnut.

Water chestnuts are white, black, red and green, black, green and red are not easy to see at night, and he can barely distinguish according to the shade of color.

Peeling off the white and green peeled inside, there is a white and tender fruit, which is extremely sweet in one bite, sweeter than the big Ya pear.

The black ones are older, but they have a high starch content and a more intense flavor when cooked.

If it's red, it's not recommended to eat it, it's not delicious.

There is a lack of everything at home, and even less food.

This thing is good, Zhang Ze immediately picked up the water chestnut and smelled it, but he didn't smell the smell, obviously these water chestnuts were fresh, he immediately took off all the ones on the shore and covered them with clothes.

There was still a large area further away, but he had to go into the water, so he gave up for the time being.

Returning home tonight, as soon as she got home, Zhang Huihong walked out of the room with a kerosene lamp.

Zhang Ze was stunned: "Mom, you haven't slept yet?" ”

"I slept if you didn't come back!" Zhang Huihong came to him and shone the bucket with a kerosene lamp.

When she saw several large fish in the bucket and a small pile of water chestnuts next to it, her face was full of surprise.

"So many mandarin fish and water chestnuts?"

The fish in the bucket were naturally released by Zhang Ze when he was about to get home, and there were seven in total, all of which were two or three catties.

"I had good luck today, I wanted to catch some grass carp, but it was full of mandarin fish. The water chestnut was found when I came back, right on the bank of the river. ”

"This fish is squeamish, I can't keep it!" Zhang Huihong was very happy when she saw the mandarin fish, but she was a little distressed about how to deal with these fish.

"The fish is very good, why don't you take it to the commune purchase station and ask them if they want it?"

"Don't, it's okay for the purchasing station to exchange grass carp and crucian carp for food, but I plan to sell these mandarin fish in the city for money." Zhang Ze hurriedly shook his head and refused.

Mandarin fish in the city at least have a chance to sell for eight cents or even a pound a catty, at the purchase station is estimated to be cut in half, and more fish others may not be able to collect all.

Aquatic products are not as good as other agricultural products, only live ones are valuable, and the other party will worry that they will not be able to raise more fish.

Of course, Zhang Ze can naturally eat more than 20 acquisition stations here, but he doesn't want to suffer this loss!

"You're going to the black market in town?" Hearing that her son was going to the city, Zhang Huihong immediately thought of the black market.

Except for the black market, she couldn't think of anywhere else to sell fish.

"Mom, if you want to have a better life, you can't help it. In fact, the city is full of people who are secretly doing business. If someone else can do it, why can't we? I'm going to have to go to the city anyway. ”

Zhang Ze knew that he couldn't hide his mother from fishing and selling fish, so he tried to persuade the other party to support him.

If it was before, Zhang Huihong would never agree, but today's children's desire to eat meat touched her heart, and her thoughts changed slightly.

After thinking about it again, she made up her mind and said: "Then I'll sell it, I can't let you take this risk, you still have to marry and can't be caught!" ”

Zhang Ze smiled bitterly: "Mom, I have to go to this black market." If there is anything, I run faster and it is not easy to get caught. ”

"You can stay at home and take care of your sister and brother with peace of mind, and wait for me to come back!"

After speaking, he was afraid that Zhang Huihong would continue to say something to stop him, so he directly picked up the bucket and walked into his room.

"Alas~"

Seeing her son like this, Zhang Huihong could only sigh helplessly.

In fact, Zhang Ze's grandparents are still there, and their lives are okay.

But they counted her son's death on her head, plus some people instigated it, so they didn't care about their family for so many years.

If there was the help of the elders, their family would not have had such a difficult time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huihong sighed again, then picked up all the water chestnuts and put them in the basin, took them out and cleaned them, sorted them all the colors, and cooked all the black ones in the regenerated fire.

The black market isn't just open at night, but it's safer at night.

Zhang Ze had to get up in the middle of the night to go to the city, and these water chestnuts were just enough to bring him a cushion for his stomach.

And Zhang Ze, who returned to the room, saw that his younger brother was sleeping on his back, and couldn't help but shake his head funny, and then put the bucket in a dim corner to take the fish back into the fishing space.

There are two rooms in the house, one for him and his younger brother, and one for his two sisters and his mother.

Now he shares a room with his brother, and there is a risk of being discovered when he uses the fishing space.

But the mandarin fish is difficult to live, and it may not be able to live for a few hours, so he can only take some risks to take the fish back.

At present, I can only hurry up and make money and build the house first.

Fortunately, Zhang Wu is young and sleepy, so he should not be discovered in a short time.
