0385: A Thing Or Two On The Rhine River.
"Clatter..."
Qiao Ji's fleet was sailing on the Rhine River, and they had left the imperial capital for more than half a day.
The Rhine River is the largest river on this continent, passing through three empires before merging into the sea.
The Golden Eagle Empire is located in the lower reaches of the Rhine River, and the imperial capital was built on the banks of the Rhine River.
Beigang is located next to the Bujia River, a tributary of the Rhine River. It is relatively remote, but fortunately it is close to the sea.
There are hundreds of tributaries of the Rhine River, and each tributary has many cities, villages and towns, and is the main source of irrigation for grain fields.
Qiao Ji stood on the deck of the boat looking at the flowing Rhine River.
He was wearing a thick black bear cloak, and driving on the river in winter was extremely cold.
"Master, what are you doing?" Lei Nai asked curiously.
"I'm going to go fishing." Qiao Ji adjusted the fishing rod.
Before he boarded the boat, "Qiqisan" had his fishing tackle prepared in advance. How could it be possible to sail without fishing?
Lei Nai tilted his neck and couldn't help but stepped forward to look at it.
She looked at the lord holding a long thin wooden stick with a lot of silk threads tied to the end of the stick. The most striking thing was that there was a small iron hook hanging on the ten ends of the silk thread.
"My lord, are those fish so stupid?" Lei Nai guessed that the iron hook was here to fish.
But the black cat girl saw that there was nothing on the fishhook, and felt that the fish could bite on it for no reason.
"Hahaha... If you can't catch fish without bait, you just need to get ten o'clock raw meat and push it up." Qi Ji smiled heartily. "
After he finished speaking, he picked up a small piece of cut raw meat from the table next to the boat plank, and skillfully threaded it on the fishhook.
"Look, maybe we can improve the food tonight." Qiao Ji smiled and threw the hook into the river.
"Fishing +1."
Listening to the crisp system sound in her head, Qiao Ji has long been used to it, and can always trigger new skills occasionally.
Lei Nai saw the fishhook falling into the river, and there was still a small piece of wood floating on the river, and muttered, "My lord, when will I be able to catch fish?"
Qiao Ji supported the fence of the boat plank with one hand, and said leisurely, "Fishing is all about patience, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"Hot tofu?" Lei Nai was at a loss.
"Tofu, you will know in the future." Qiao Ji smiled.
"Oh, my lord, I want to try it too." Fu Tai eagerly opened his round eyes.
Qiao Ji looked up at the sparse snowflakes in the sky, looked down at the black cat girl and asked, "It's starting to snow, aren't you afraid of the cold?"
"It will be colder if you stay still in the cabin, and it should be fine if you move." Lei Nai shook his furry cat ears.
She is wearing very thick clothes today, not only has she been wearing a fur jacket for several years, even the outer cloak is newly made.
Fortunately, there is no need to be vigilant now, otherwise it would be inconvenient for the black cat girl to move around in such thick clothes.
"Okay, there are still fishing rods on the table." Qiao Ji nudged the table beside him with his chin.
"Okay." Lei Nai happily replied, trotting all the way to the table to pick up a fishing rod.
Following Qiao Ji's steps, she hung the bait on the hook and threw it into the river.
"Clatter..."
There are two wooden sticks floating on the huge Rhine River, and a man and a woman stand on the board and look at the river.
ten minutes later.
Lei Nai squinted his black eyes and stared at the river, muttering softly, "My lord, why hasn't the fish taken the bait for so long?"
The black cat girl knows from Qiao Ji that as long as the stick on the river starts to sink, there is a fish hooked.
But Lei Nai had been standing for ten minutes, and the wooden stick on the river still hadn't sank, not even a little bit, which made her a little impatient.
"Wait a little longer, you see."
Qiao Ji raised her chin to signal the black cat girl to look at the river, and said, "My fish has already been hooked.
"Fishing +1."
Qiao Ji's fishing rod has already started to vibrate slightly, and the small wooden stick on the river quickly sinks and then floats up again, repeating this many times.
"Really?" Lei Nai kept looking at the river on tiptoe.
She looked anxiously at Qiao Ji, and asked in confusion, "Didn't the lord say that if this is the case, there is a fish biting the hook? Why don't you pull it up?"
"It's just the fish testing it out, wait a minute." Qiao Ji waved his hand calmly.
With the knowledge of fishing skills, he can guess how likely the fish is to bite the hook by looking at the sinking of the small wooden sticks floating on the river.
"Fishing is really difficult." The corners of Lei Nai's mouth twitched, thinking that such an activity was not suitable for him.
Qiao Ji stared at the river with sharp eyes of different colors, reached out and grabbed the fishing rod and shouted, "Lei Nai, it's coming."
"Clatter..."
Qiao Ji pulled up the fishing rod violently, and in the blink of an eye, a big fat fish was dragged out of the river.
"Fishing +1."
"Plop..."
The caught fish kept jumping on the board of the boat, the size of the fish was about the size of an adult's calf...
"I really caught it." Lei Nai ran to the fish in surprise, completely disregarding his fishing rod.
She squatted in front of the fish, poked the jumping fish with her hand, and said with a smile, "My lord is so amazing, such a big fish has been caught."
"We can have delicious fish soup tonight." Qiao Ji looked at the big fish with satisfaction.
Lei Nai suddenly stood up, and said with full of fighting spirit, "No, I have to try."
She turned around and came to the fence, continued to pick up the fishing rod and looked at the river seriously, frowning slightly very seriously.
"Okay, then let's compete to see who can catch the next fish." Qiao Ji continued to hang jerky on the hook.
"No problem at all." Renai nodded heavily.
She held the fishing rod tightly and stared at the river, afraid that she would not see the small wooden stick sinking [the fluffy cat ears also stood up.
Not long after Qiao Ji threw the hook down, the small wooden stick began to sink slowly again. It took less than two minutes from when the bait was hooked to when the fish bit the hook.
"Fishing +1."
Qiao Ji looked sideways at the serious black cat girl, and said, "Lei Nai, pull it up and look at your bait."
He finally saw that the black cat girl was so interested in fishing, and he had to teach her more, otherwise he would lose interest in fishing if he felt too frustrated.
"Okay." Lei Nai pulled up the hook with half understanding, and saw the bare hook.
She stared at the hook with wide eyes in disbelief, turned her head 1.2 to look at Qiao Ji and asked, "Master, what's going on?"
"It may be that the raw meat was hung too loosely, and those fish were eaten with one bite at a time."
Qiao Ji stepped forward to help the black cat girl rehung the bait, and said while operating, "It may also be that you exposed the sharp part of the hook, and the fish dare not bite it down."
"So there are so many explanations." Lei Nai nodded thoughtfully.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the small wooden stick on the river sinking, and shouted loudly, "My lord, there is another fish on your side."
"Here we come." Qiao Ji walked over unhurriedly, and pulled the fishing rod upwards forcefully.
"Fishing +1."
"Clatter..."
A fish more than one meter long was dragged out of the river, and landed on the board of the boat under the shocked eyes of the black cat girl.
