At this moment, Xiang Ye had no idea what had happened after he left.
After leaving the breakfast shop, he drove straight to Yuan Guangtao's hometown.
Yuan Guangtao's hometown was in this very city. His ID card was also registered here.
It was just located in a suburban-rural fringe area.
As Xiang Ye drove toward that area, he saw quite a few patches of farmland. You had to know, ever since the country began vigorously developing commerce in the south and shifted more farming tasks to the north, it had become rare to see large areas of farmland in the south.
Unexpectedly, there was still quite a bit here. After following the map for a while, Xiang Ye arrived next to a small creek.
This small creek wasn't very big, only about three meters wide, and the water flow was average, but it looked fairly well-maintained. At the very least, the water was quite clear and had no strange smell.
Xiang Ye found a spacious spot to park his car, then went to look for a wooden stick about 1.5 meters long. He also prepared a fishing line about two meters long. As for earthworms, there were plenty on the ground, especially near the edges of the fields.
Maybe it was because the fields here hadn't been sprayed with pesticides—there were a lot of earthworms.
Very casually, Xiang Ye caught over twenty of them. After tying them up, he threw the bait into the creek, and also turned off the "Small Fish Destroyer" buff, because even the largest crayfish wouldn't weigh more than two Jin.
Maybe those giant foreign species could, but domestic crayfish weren't that big.
After Xiang Ye threw the earthworms into the creek, he soon saw a group of fish gathering around. These fish were Mai Sui.
Some people might confuse Mai Sui with Mosquitofish. It's true that these two types of fish look very similar, and Mai Sui also eats mosquito larvae, although probably not as aggressively as Mosquitofish.
Actually, they are two different kinds of fish. Despite their similar appearance, they are completely different.
Mosquitofish belongs to Class Osteichthyes - Subclass Actinopterygii - Order Cyprinodontiformes - Family Poeciliidae - Genus Mosquitofish - Species Mosquitofish. It is a fully imported foreign fish.
While Mai Sui belongs to Class Osteichthyes - Subclass Actinopterygii - Order Cypriniformes - Family Cyprinidae - Subfamily Gobioninae - Genus Mai Sui - Species Mai Sui. It is a completely native species of the Yan and Huang region. The two are entirely different.
However, it's really not easy to tell them apart…
Xiang Ye was able to confirm it was Mai Sui and not Mosquitofish because… he caught one.
One of them bit the earthworm and wouldn't let go, so Xiang Ye pulled it up in one swift motion. The system rewarded him with 100 yuan, but he casually threw the small fish back into the creek.
The small fish he caught yesterday was already enough for the Soft shell Turtle to eat, so he didn't need more for now.
After Xiang Ye waited for about ten minutes, he saw his first crayfish.
That's when he realized that crayfish actually hide in holes, so if he wanted to catch them, he needed to find their burrows.
Fortunately, this crayfish had crawled out of its hole to grab an earthworm, and that's how Xiang Ye noticed it.
When it clamped down on the worm and started pulling it into its mouth, Xiang Ye quickly lifted the stick.
With a splash, a black-red crayfish was pulled onto the shore. As soon as it landed, it stopped eating and raised its claws, ready to fight Xiang Ye.
But clearly, its threat didn't mean anything to Xiang Ye.
He immediately pressed down on its head and tossed it into his bucket.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for capturing Procambarus clarkii ×1 (17 grams), reward: 100 yuan (third-generation wild type, considered a wild species)."
"So, this thing also counts for rewards, huh? Not bad. But it's really small—barely over three qian. Tsk tsk. Now that I know how to catch them, let's keep going!"
Now that he had figured out the method, Xiang Ye didn't stay in one spot. He carried his fishing rod and wandered along the creek.
And surprisingly, he found quite a few crayfish and crayfish burrows. One after another, the crayfish were easily pulled out from their holes and the water by Xiang Ye.
In just ten to fifteen minutes, Xiang Ye had already completed today's daily mission.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the daily mission—catch 10 shrimp. Reward: Full ownership of Unit 2901, Building 7, Longteng Garden Residences."
"Huh? Another apartment?"
Upon hearing the system's notification, Xiang Ye instantly saw a new property certificate appear in the system, along with a key, which should be for Unit 2901.
As mentioned before, in that building, there were a total of four units. He lived in Unit 2902, the breakfast shop neighbor lived in 2093, and the unoccupied ones were 2901 and 2904. Now, 2901 also belonged to him. It really was a bit outrageous.
"But this is great too—over three million yuan in value." Thinking this over, Xiang Ye smiled with satisfaction. If his parents came to visit, they'd have a place to stay now.
Feeling even more pleased, Xiang Ye didn't rush back right away.
Because catching crayfish also earned him money. Just this few wouldn't be enough for anyone to eat. He planned to catch a lot more.
For the rest of the morning, Xiang Ye kept catching crayfish.
By the time it was past eleven, he had caught over seventy of them, earning more than 7,000 yuan. The small bucket was more than half full of crayfish.
Xiang Ye sorted through them. Any that weighed less than half a Jin—around 25 grams—he released. In the market, even shrimp as small as three qian (15 grams) could be sold, but Xiang Ye wasn't that ruthless. It wasn't even crayfish season yet.
If he had time, he'd come back in the summer. That's when the crayfish would be at their fattest. After placing the bucket securely, Xiang Ye drove back to the city.
But this time, he didn't head straight home. Instead, he went to the auto parts market.
He bought some small accessories the car needed, like seat covers, and then randomly chose a restaurant he had eaten at before. After finishing his meal, he went to the market.
Yes, Xiang Ye needed to buy groceries—especially since he now knew how to cook.
He bought pork: tenderloin, belly, ribs—all in small portions.
Beef: cucumber-cut strips, tenderloin, brisket, chuck, ribeye—all of them.
For lamb, Xiang Ye bought a whole rack of ribs, and also got a lamb leg.
He didn't need any fish. If there was one thing he had plenty of at home, it was fish.
Then he bought vegetables, seasonings, and condiments: lemon salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, low-sodium soy, oyster sauce, all kinds of sauces, all kinds of vinegar, basil, thyme…
As long as he thought a seasoning might be useful, Xiang Ye put it in the cart.
The market didn't have everything, so he went to a nearby supermarket…
By the time Xiang Ye finished shopping, he had four large bags and had spent several thousand yuan, but he was very happy.
Just as he was putting the bags into the car and getting ready to drive off, suddenly, he heard a sound from the nearby trash bin…
