"Well, would you like to buy some to try?" Hong Tao didn't care about his angry tone and said to him with a smile. From his dark skin, he could already see that this guy was probably good at fishing.
"50 yuan a bag? Just this small bag? Aren't you a fucking rip-off? The people living on the beach are all connoisseurs, and you won't get a good harvest here." The middle-aged man ignored Hong Tao and looked at him.
He looked at the instructions and price tags on the shelf, and even used curse words in his mouth.
"Hey, let me call you brother, can we stop talking like that? I also grew up by Houhai. If you think it's worth it, buy it. If you don't think it's worth it, I welcome you to come in and chat for a while." Hong Tao immediately said
She put away her smiling face and said to him in a neutral tone.
"You live here? Why haven't I seen you?" The middle-aged man hesitated and asked again.
"The Bell Foundry."
"Oh, it's strange, it's strange, but it's too dark for you. Can you sell it? If you trust me, brother, I will help you sell it. I know all the people fishing on the south bank." The middle-aged man said.
From Hong Tao's words, I guessed that Hong Tao was really a nearby resident, so he didn't dare to lie again, so he put on a smile again and started to get closer.
"Let me tell you this, I don't have to pay a penny if I can't catch any fish with this bait. I don't have to pay a penny if I catch less fish than others in the same fishing position. Brother, I have this confidence. Otherwise, I dare to go to the back
Open a fishing gear shop on the beach?" Hong Tao already knew who this person was, so his tone was not so polite. With this kind of person, the more polite you are, the more irritated he will be.
"Okay, forget I didn't tell you, just sell it slowly. Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes." The middle-aged man saw that there was nothing else on the shelf except fish bait. He shook his head and walked away slowly with a regretful look.
.
"Let's go slowly..." Hong Tao even omitted the words "come when you have time" because he really didn't want this kind of thing to come to the store without any trouble.
Who is this person? Hong Tao doesn't know him, but Hong Tao is sure that he lives nearby. From his tone, he should live on the south bank of Houhai. Ordinarily, this kind of person is not really harmful. He is just like him when you are fishing.
Pretending to be a big-tailed wolf behind you is like a doctoral tutor at Tsinghua University's Fishing Department, saying that your hook size is wrong and that bait tastes wrong. If you catch a fish, he will say you are blind. If you don't catch a fish, he will say you didn't listen.
of.
Furthermore, he likes to take advantage of others. If there are many people in your shop, he might take your bait and steal your bag of fish food. What he just said was to ask Hong Tao to give him a few bags of fish bait for free.
, and then he will advertise for you. As for whether it is real or fake, you still have to decide. Anyway, he got the bait first.
Such people can be found everywhere. They also fish, and their fishing skills may be quite high, but they are too utilitarian. They are the kind of people who will lose money if they don’t get back the bait and fishing tickets. It’s better to make some money.
Money. They do not regard fishing as a recreational sport at all, but as a way to make money, so Hong Tao dislikes them. This kind of people are nicknamed "Osprey" in the fishing circle.
"Gao Ming, remember this person. Pay more attention to him when he comes in the future. Don't lose anything." Hong Tao saw Gao Ming peeking out at the door of the inner room and quickly gave him instructions.
"Oh, I got it." When the boy saw that the boss was paying attention to him, he quickly retracted his head.
This morning, there were quite a few people coming into the fishing gear store. After a while, fishermen came in to see what was new. For a newly opened fishing gear store, even if they don’t want to buy anything, fishermen still have to go in and take a look.
There was nothing new, but when everyone saw that the store was empty, there were only dozens of bags of fishing bait, and the prices were very expensive, they all expressed disappointment. Although a few people asked Hong Tao about the efficacy and usage of the bait, but because
The price was too high, the packaging was crude, and I didn’t know much about Hong Tao. In the end, no one was willing to pay for it.
After lunch, Hong Tao took Gao Ming to the kindergarten's cafeteria. The fishing gear shop was temporarily locked. Not to mention, although the cafeteria is not big, the quality of the food is really not good. It is no wonder that several leaders of the kindergarten
We are all dining in the cafeteria with the bosses of the agencies behind us. How dare Fatty Tall not be careful?
After dinner, Hong Tao planned to go back and pack the bait. As soon as he walked to the back door of his courtyard and planned to take out the key to unlock the door, Fatty Gao's voice came from the upstairs of the kindergarten, asking Hong Tao to wait for him in the shop and not go out.
Then there was silence. Hong Tao didn't know what he was going to do. Anyway, he didn't plan to go out in the afternoon. If he had anything to do, he would wait until he came to talk about it.
The two of them smoked for a while and chatted for a long time in the hut. It was half past one, and the door to the outer room was opened. Before Hong Tao could go out, he heard Fatty Gao's high-pitched voice shouting.
.
"Come on, come on, it's noon, aren't you afraid... Oops, we have guests, Brother Gao, who are you?" Hong Tao was the only one, and Gao Fatty was alone. When he came out of the room, he saw that there were already guests on the sofa.
Two old comrades were sitting there, and the tall fat man was pouring tea for them.
"Liu Chu, this is Xiao Hong, his name is Hong Tao. He has just graduated from college. He is starting his own business. The bait is said to be passed down from their family. I have tried it and it is amazing. Xiao Hong, bring over your bait."
"Bao, let's take a look at Chu Liu." Fatty Gao introduced Hong Tao to the two old men and shouted at Hong Tao to get to work quickly.
"Hey, come here, come here." Hong Tao saw Fatty Gao's posture and knew that a deal was coming. These two must be the leaders of Fatty Gao's unit, but they are not his direct leaders. Judging from their age, they are probably retired.
Cadres, otherwise if Fatty Gao had been his boss, he would have already offered his own bait, and would he still dare to bring the leader to let the leader consume it himself?
"That's it? Isn't this just pellet feed?" Another old man took the plastic bag from Hong Tao's hand, looked at it carefully, put it under his nose and smelled it, and was very dissatisfied.
"Hey, look at what you said, I don't dare to fool anyone, not even Brother Gao. I rented this house from Brother Gao. Don't worry, it doesn't look good. It works. If you don't believe it,
, Brother Gao has ready-made fishing rods here, and Houhai is just outside the door. You can try it. If you don’t catch a fish within half an hour, I don’t want a penny.” When it comes to fishing, there is not so much status and rights.
After all, you are the Prime Minister here, and the fish in the water don’t know you. If the technique and bait are not right, the fish will not catch the fish, and there will be no clue at all.
This thing is not like playing mahjong. If you are a senior official, we can let you do it. You can’t cheat on this thing because the fish won’t cooperate. Therefore, among people who fish, regardless of age, rich or poor, and regardless of official position, they are all
A hero is judged by how many fish he catches.
"Hey, I still don't believe it. Isn't this just a pellet? Young man, I have been fishing for a longer time than you. If this thing of yours really works, don't overdo it. I can get you 20 people, all of them.
I'm fishing in the West Sea. Xiao Gao, please give me your fishing rod and I'll give it a try." This old man was really bad-tempered. When he heard that Hong Tao was not soft-spoken, he immediately overturned and had sex with Hong Tao.
"What if it doesn't work? You can't do it for free. Just don't sell these baits. They cost 50 yuan a pack. Isn't this a scam? How about it!"
"Okay, if you don't want to catch the fish, Brother Gao is here. Let him watch me and I will dump all the bait into the sea. From now on, I will only sell fishing gear, not bait." Hong Tao definitely couldn't give in at this time.
Moreover, this is not a battle of personal grudges. As long as he wins, the old man will not hold any grudge against him, and he will definitely have to help him advertise.
"Let's go, Old Liu, you can be the referee instead of saying that I, Old Fu, bully the juniors." Taking the fishing rod and the small horse tie from Fatty Gao, the old man stood up and left. The old man named Liu also followed happily.
He looked like he was watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
The four of them went out together and walked a few steps to the shore of Houhai. The old man holding the fishing rod handed the bait bag in his hand to Hong Tao:
"Here, you come and open the bait."
"No, just add water. You can adjust the hardness or softness according to your own habits. My fish food can be described in one word: simple and easy to use!" Hong Tao did not take over and kept talking.
"Come on, don't be so harsh. You'll look good later." The old man didn't say much, tore open the plastic bag, poured all the bait into a small plastic bucket, and then used a towel to wipe his hands and put it into the lake water to absorb it.
Squeeze the water into the plastic bucket bit by bit. Judging from the technique, you will be an experienced fisherman.
