Jiangling took Yingning out because Yingning said he wanted to eat fish.

When I asked the waiter at the restaurant, I found out that there were only a few carp in the restaurant, and they were only half a palm in size.

When asked why there were no big fish, the waiter laughed and said, how can big fish be so easy to catch?

Only then did he realize that in this era, fishing methods were backward, and most of them were fishing from the bottom of the lake.

As for fishing, the method is simple and the fishing gear is very crude.

Even for old fishermen, it is common for them to sit idle all day and gain nothing.

After knowing this, Jiang Ling simply told Ying Ning to let her catch one by herself, which would be fun and satisfy her appetite.

Little Yingning was delighted and jumped out with the fishing rod in hand.

There are no big rivers in Qingyang County, only a stream, no more than knee deep, coming from the hills and entering the cave.

In the middle, there are several bays with deep pools, but no one can top them.

This stream is also in the county, not far from Dongcheng, only a few quarters of an hour away.

When we arrived at the river, there was already an old man fishing.

There was also a servant beside him, holding an umbrella for him.

The old man was sitting on a chair. His beard and hair were all white, but his energy and energy were still strong.

The bamboo pole in his hand is ten feet long, inlaid with gold and jade, and looks expensive.

Before he could get close, the servant waved his hand from a distance, signaling Jiang Ling not to come any closer.

Probably because he was afraid that someone coming would disturb the old man’s fishing.

Jiang Ling didn't care, and took Ying Ning dozens of steps downstream to a deep pool, where he taught Ying Ning how to bait and fish.

"If you want to learn Taiwan fishing, baiting is the key. If you can master it well, you can learn the second step, which is to search for the bottom with heavy lead. Only by fishing at the bottom can you catch big fish. If it floats on the surface, even if you can catch it, you will not catch much fish.

It’s just a small fish.”

Listening to Jiang Ling's words, Ying Ning followed his request humbly and seriously, adding water to the bait and mixing it.

The bait used was the same as Laosan before. It was not used up last time, so Xiao Yingning took it with him.

After the bait was ready, she picked up the fishing rod and started fishing.

Jiang Ling lay down on the grass next to him, blowing the breeze and bathing in the sunshine. The weather in early spring was indeed very pleasant.

Xiao Yingning had just taken the first shot. Within ten seconds, the float suddenly moved. She looked happy and immediately set off, but missed.

Jiang Ling pointed out from the side: "Streams are different from caves. The last time I caught catfish, it was because the catfish were fierce and eager to bite the hook, so it was easier to catch them."

When fishing in a stream, don't be impatient. Wait until the float suddenly hits the water before you pull it out, so that the fish can take the bait."

"Yeah." Xiao Yingning hung up the bait again and came again.

The fish in this era cannot resist the temptation like the third child. As soon as the fishy smell spreads in the water, a group of fish will approach in a very short time.

Before Xiao Yingning could wait, he saw the float moving again.

This time she followed Jiang Ling's teachings, endured her temper, and waited for the moment the float suddenly sank into the water, then she pulled the pole up.

Sure enough, a creek grouper weighed half a catty.

The little baby Ning was overjoyed and jumped up happily: "Master, I caught it."

Jiang Ling nodded, brought the prepared bamboo basket and put the fish in it.

The grouper in this stream is as big as half a catty. It really makes people sigh that in this era, the water resources are really excellent.

Xiao Yingning caught a fish and unexpectedly attracted the attention of the old man who was dozens of steps upstream.

He waited quietly for a long time, but there was no movement in the water.

But as soon as these boys and girls came here, they were already catching fish.

After a long look, he drank tea.

Xiao Ying rather hangs bait and fishes again,

This time, before her bait even sank to the bottom, a fish pounced on her and bit her.

Seeing that the float was sinking rapidly, she immediately pulled it up, and another half-pound river grouper was pulled up by her with its tail swung.

"Hehehe...Master, I caught it again."

Jiang Ling nodded: "Not bad."

The fish was put into the fish basket and she fished again.

In less than one stick of incense, she tossed the fish continuously and caught seven fish. They were all half a catty in size.

The old man upstream could sit still at first, but after seeing Ying Ning catching fish one after another, he finally couldn't sit still.

The servant then packed up his things, and the two of them walked downstairs.

The old man was sitting under a tree and waiting. A servant came to the riverside and said to Jiang Ling, "Young man, could you give up your seat?"

Jiang Ling glanced at him and said, "Didn't I already give in just now, and now I want to give in again?"

The servant didn't hesitate, opened his palm, took out nine copper coins, and said: "I don't want you to give it up in vain."

"Only nine cents?"

Seeing that Jiang Ling thought there were too few, the servants sent out nine essays, making a total of eighteen essays.

"Is this feasible?"

Jiangling smiled to himself, he couldn't catch any fish, do you really think it's a matter of location?

Seeing that the old man is getting older, there is no harm in giving in.

Then he accepted his eighteen essays and said, "Okay, I'll leave this place to you."

He took Yingning and walked back to the place where the old man was fishing just now.

When the old man saw that the servant had reached an agreement, he walked to a new fishing spot and started fishing again.

As soon as the position was changed, the old man remained silent.

When Jiangling reached the upper reaches, he took Xiao Yingning and started the connecting rod rhythm again.

When a stick of incense failed, Xiao Yingning got seven more fish.

When the old man downstream saw it, he felt unhappy.

At that spot, he had been sitting quietly all morning, and he hadn't even caught half of the fish.

Seeing that fish were catching up here downstream, he called his servants and spent money in exchange.

But after moving here, fish began to appear again upstream?

What's the point?

When the servant saw it, he had nothing to say. He wanted to suggest another change, but he couldn't.

The old man was open-minded and handed him the fishing rod and said: "That's all, the fish won't respond to me today. I think no matter where I go, it will be useless, so I'd better go back first."

The servant nodded in agreement, packed up his things, and went back.

On the road, they saw Jiang Ling taking Ying Ning to go back.

The old man and the servant returned empty-handed,

Jiangling and Yingning, on the other hand, returned with a full load. They left now simply because they had caught enough and they would not be able to finish it all if they caught more.

The stream groupers, each weighing half a catty, were placed in bamboo baskets and were heavy.

When the two parties met on the road, the servant's eyes were filled with unspeakable jealousy.

The old man suddenly said: "Young man is very lucky today."

Jiang Ling was not polite: "It's not about luck, just a few skills."

The resources in the stream are so good that you can basically fish with your hands. What kind of luck does this require?

The servant was furious when he heard this, "You are so rude, how can you talk to my master like this?"

The old man waved his hand: "Perhaps he is right. One or two fish can be considered luck, but catching so many fish is not as simple as pure luck."

When he said this, he actually arched his hands and made a salute: "I wonder if I can ask you, what is the second and third technique?"

The ancients said that you are not ashamed to ask questions,

The old man's eyes were pure and clear, and he seemed to be sincerely asking for advice.

Jiang Ling said: "Fifty taels, I can give it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant couldn't help it anymore: "Fifty taels, are you just robbing me?"

But the old man smiled and said: "Teaching people to fish is the same as teaching them skills. Fifty taels is not expensive." He made a gesture and asked the servant to give him money.

The servant was stunned, fifty taels, really?

Although he felt heartache in his heart, he didn't want to ruin the old man's mood, so he took out his money bag, took out fifty taels of silver notes and handed it to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling collected the money at will, and then asked Xiao Yingning to give the servant the bait that he had opened but had not used up and was reluctant to throw away.
