Despite its ugly appearance, this fish only lives in waters with relatively good water quality. Once the water quality is polluted, they cannot survive, so there is no need to worry about hygiene issues.
Hong Tao fishes for this fish just for fun. Anyway, he is free. It is effortless and time-consuming to catch. If you are busy, you can throw a few more poles at the same time. That is also quite fun. There are
Sometimes there will be fish biting the bait on several poles at the same time. As long as there are enough garfish in the water, you can catch a big pot in a few hours.
But Hong Tao didn't do that. He just took the bait and cast the rod slowly, and caught a fish in about ten minutes. In the meantime, he had to catch shrimps from the shrimp pot. It was quite leisurely for him to catch shrimps one rod at a time.
Slowly, the frequency of catching fish began to slow down. Finally, after throwing the bait for half an hour, there was still no movement. Hong Tao looked at his watch and saw that it was already 1 o'clock in the evening. The fish were probably all fed and drunk and had gone home to rest.
At this time, there are more than 30 croakers in Hong Tao's small bucket, which is enough to stew a pot. There are still a lot of river shrimps left in the other small bucket. It is estimated that two more shrimp cages will be set up tomorrow morning.
, you can also put together a plate of food.
Call it a day! The past few hours have not been in vain. I have had fun and added two river delicacies to tomorrow’s dinner table, which is enough! Hong Tao changed the water in the small bucket again and found something to cover it.
Then he returned to the bedroom on the top floor of the RV, hugged Irene's fleshy body, and chatted with Duke Zhou.
In the early morning of the next day, Hong Tao got up on time at around 4 o'clock. After washing up, he inspected all the fishing rods as usual. Unfortunately, all the fishing rods were motionless.
Maybe it was because I slept too long yesterday. Before 5 o'clock, there were sounds in the RV one after another. The first one to come out was Old Gale. His first words after seeing Hong Tao were to complain about Chinese liquor.
But Hong Tao pretended not to hear. He had said this more than once. But he never refused every time he drank. Don't be afraid of getting drunk if you are greedy. You deserve to be drunk!
When everyone got out of the RV one after another, Boss Liu made the final decision on the arrangement of today's activities. Since Old Gale had made an appointment with Ms. Zhou from his village, they planned to go to a nearby market together, so the camp
Someone must be left to guard it.
Old Gale, Pavey, Harrison and Irene definitely couldn't stay. Boss Liu volunteered to stay behind, and then Liu Gang and Wang Jian also volunteered to stay behind. In the end, the task of accompanying these foreigners to go shopping fell on
Hong Tao actually didn’t want to go. The big market was new to foreigners, but not to Hong Tao. No matter how big the market was, it just sold some vegetables, daily necessities, and grain.
Nothing new.
However, Boss Liu, Wang Jian and Liu Gang all had legitimate reasons. They didn’t understand English and it would be in vain if they went there, so Hong Tao had no choice but to refuse. At this time, he saw the correctness of the old saying: the more he knows, the more he suffers
!
Old Gale and his Ms. Zhou made an appointment at 6:30 at the west entrance of the village. They will meet you there or not. Hong Tao took the time to take a bath in the RV. Then he drove a RV and took these four curious babies with him.
, fought into the village.
Just as Hong Tao thought, the Ms. Zhou whom Old Gale called already had wrinkles on her face and white hair. She was not the only one waiting at the entrance of the village. There were also two slightly younger old ladies beside her.
It seems that they plan to go together.
Hong Tao parked the car in front of them, and then put the three old ladies into the car very enthusiastically. It might be the first time to enter such a small house-like car. The three old ladies seemed a little cautious, so Hong Tao took care of it.
No, he is not a political commissar and cannot do other people's ideological work. The only thing he can do is to ask these three old ladies for the specific location and route of Daji, and then drive on the road.
After spending a long time, Hong Tao couldn't figure out where this big collection was. Not only could the three old ladies not know how to read a map, they couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. They only knew left and right, and the place names they mentioned were all
It's the local dialect, which is completely different from the one on the map.
In the end, Hong Tao got out of the car and asked a villager driving a tractor, and finally figured out that this market was very close to Xipo Village, less than 10 kilometers away, and the location of the market was the famous revolutionary base, Xibaipo.
, but it’s not Xibaipo Village, but Xibaipo Town.
It may be because of the revolutionary tourist area. The road leading to Xibaipo Town is well built, and there are many flower beds in the middle of the road. It suddenly feels like returning to the city. But this big market is no longer in the town, but
It was on a branch road in the north of the town, but Hong Tao and his friends couldn't drive in.
The roads here have been occupied by various agricultural vehicles. There is a narrow passage in the middle. Ordinary vehicles can barely get through. However, the large RV driven by Hong Tao is too wide. If you have to go through
, then more than half of the vehicles will have to make room for it.
Hong Tao has no such plan at all. As long as the town party committee secretary is not here, no one can try to move these cars. We are just tourists here for a stroll, so there is no need to make such a big noise.
If the car can't get in, it has to find a safe place to park. Hong Tao doesn't dare to park this multi-million dollar RV among a bunch of farm vehicles. If that tractor is slightly tilted, he may lose tens of thousands of dollars.
Yes, even if they compensate you for the car, it will be in vain.
Hong Tao looked around and saw that most of the open spaces on the roadside were occupied. There was only one empty space that could park about 3 or 4 cars. Currently, not a single car was parked on it.
Behind this open space is a restaurant, which is quite large here. The front door is about 30 meters wide, and above the door is a row of large characters: Base Area Hotel!
"How dare you change your words? Why not call it Party Central Hotel!" Hong Tao almost became angry when he saw the name of this hotel.
Hong Tao didn't drive over immediately. He was not a stupid boy who had just left school. He still had some observation and analysis skills. Most of the open spaces on the roadside were full of cars, but not a single car stopped here.
This illustrates a problem: most locals do not dare to stop anywhere. Hong Tao can also guess the specific reason why. It must be that the owner of this restaurant is relatively powerful.
The locals are afraid of this boss and avoid him like the plague. Hong Tao is not too afraid. He has seen many local bullies like this in his previous life. There are such characters in almost every small place. Either they have
Money, or having relatives who are local leaders, anyway, the locals basically can't afford to offend them.
However, this kind of people do not really roam the countryside, and they are full of curiosity about the outside world, especially those who come from big cities. They are quite polite. Hong Tao and his fishing friends visited several reservoirs back then, and they all
After meeting such a person, we chatted and drank together, and soon everyone became acquaintances or friends, and some even used their power to help Hong Tao and others fish together.
Generally speaking, they have no conflict of interest with tourists like Hong Tao, so there is no need to take precautions. On the contrary, people like Hong Tao will bring them a lot of news or information that they don’t know locally. If you don’t deliberately provoke them,
I am happy to chat with these people from Beijing.
So Hong Tao did not drive the car directly to the door of the hotel. Instead, he parked on the side of the road, then got out of the car alone and walked into the hotel.
Not to mention, people calling it a big hotel are not bullshit. The area inside the restaurant is really not small. There are more than 10 large round tables, and there are also private rooms upstairs. The decoration is also very careful, and there is no cookie-cutter decoration.
Instead of floor tiles and paint, a kind of mountain stone is used for paving the floor. The tables and chairs are also very distinctive. They are all made of wood with bark, giving it a farmhouse style.
"It's not open yet. We don't sell breakfast here." There was no one behind the counter. There was only a middle-aged man in a chef's uniform in the entire hall, picking vegetables on a table. He saw someone push the door open and come in without even looking.
Lift it up and say a sentence directly.
"Oh, I don't want to eat. I want to trouble you with something..." Hong Tao took out his cloud cigarette, took out one and handed it to the chef. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and more updated.
