Just like when Hong Tao went to Canada a few days ago, the environment, air, and natural scenery there were impossible to experience in China. When he first went there, Hong Tao really wanted to tear up his passport and build a small house next to Pawei's house.
The house can only live in darkness.
But after staying for a few months, Hong Tao was very glad that he had not acted impulsively. He was already a little bored. There are too few people here in Canada, there are few things to play, and there is even less entertainment life. You can watch it all day long.
There are only a few people there, so it’s hard to find someone to chat or drink with. It’s such a beautiful mountain and water, but it’s so boring.
The yacht was driving very fast. Hong Tao looked at the electronic compass on his watch and knew that the boat was probably driving to the southwest. From the map, this is also one of the upper reaches of Qiandao Lake. There is a water source called Wuqiang Creek.
Inject into the reservoir.
"Tao, it's so beautiful here, the water is very clear, and there are many water birds that I don't know." Pavey and Harrison each held up a camera to take pictures on the deck. Since setting off, their hands have never left the camera.
"Don't ask me, I don't know him either. I heard someone from the resort say yesterday that you can see 10 meters of water here. Although I haven't tried it, it should be about the same." Hong Tao looked at the two birds flying on the water in the distance.
Waterbird, shook his head, we are not zoologists, we can’t figure out what that thing is.
"These islands are also very beautiful. When I was about to come to China, a friend of mine warned me to be careful about infectious diseases and bedbugs. Fortunately, Pawei stopped me, otherwise I would have to buy several bottles of insecticide to take with me.
"Harrison pointed to several small islands passing by. Those islands looked like they were cut by a knife. Several of them were gathered together, a bit like a stone forest.
"Pavey has never been to China. How does he know that there are no bedbugs in China?" Hong Tao was a little surprised. As far as he knew, Old Gale, Pavey and Harrison had never been to Asia, let alone China. They had only been to
United States and Europe.
"Hahahaha, you forgot, I stopped in Hong Kong when I was serving in the army. The food there was really delicious. It was also scary. The girls were also very beautiful. It's a pity that we only stayed for 2 days." Talking about his own life.
Glorious history, Pavey was very happy, he finally found something better than Harrison.
"It's scary!?" Hong Tao was a little puzzled.
"They would eat the snakes, peel off the skins alive, and then make them into dishes. God, if old Gale hadn't pulled me, I would have grabbed the chef's knife in the cage next to him.
There are many snakes in captivity, and they are all alive." Pavel said, while gesturing the length of the snakes with his hands.
"Oh. That's normal. Snake meat is a famous dish in Cantonese cuisine. It tastes very good. How about I invite you to try it someday? Don't worry. It doesn't have any weird taste. It's just like eating pigeon meat. I won't tell you.
I can't even eat it." Hong Tao probably understood how Pawei felt. Yesterday when they were dining in Hangzhou, they ordered fried pigeon and lied about it as a chicken. Pawei and Harrison ate it very well.
After eating, Hong Tao told them that it was a pigeon, and the two of them immediately became anxious. Fortunately, Hong Tao was flexible and could run fast, otherwise he would have been caught by the big fat man, and they would have definitely lifted him up and slapped his butt. But from now on, no matter where it is,
When it comes to eating something, Pawei and Harrison have to ask about the raw materials, and they no longer believe Hong Tao's introduction.
"Stop talking, I'm going to vomit out my breakfast. You're only a little better than the cannibals...!" Pawei grabbed Hong Tao's neck and made a big gesture in front of Hong Tao with his fat fingers.
From a small distance, these Canadians have very few curse words. Apart from stupid pigs and idiots, they just curse you and so on. If Pawei can come up with the word cannibal, he is considered a master of Canadian curses.
"Boss Hong, we are almost there. Look, the big island in front is the hill next to our village. It has become an island now, and the hole is under it." After driving for about an hour, Old Man Li finally got out of the cab.
Got out of it.
"Oh, okay, I'll let him go back first and pick us up in the afternoon." Hong Tao understood what Old Man Li meant. When he first boarded the boat, he was firmly opposed to letting resort employees drive the yacht. However, for the sake of safety, the fat boss
He still insisted on sending a man who was familiar with the terrain of the reservoir to drive the yacht, but he promised to let the young man drive the speedboat back after he almost reached the location. For this purpose, a small speedboat was tied behind the yacht.
"Let's continue driving, there are still a few miles of waterway." When the resort employee's speedboat disappeared from sight, Old Man Li said to Hong Tao sheepishly. At this time, Pawei took over the steering wheel and began to act as the driver. Hong Tao said to Pawei
There was no doubt about his boating skills. He used to play with large warships, so he would definitely have no problem dealing with such a small boat. However, he couldn't understand Chinese, so Hong Tao had to be his translator.
"Uncle Li, you are really vigilant." After Hong Tao translated the route to Pawei, he couldn't help but tease Old Man Li.
"This is my guy who eats. I must be careful. If Boss Liu hadn't warned me again and again, and if my son was still begging for food from Boss Liu, I wouldn't have brought outsiders here even if he beat me to death." Old Man Li would not finish the job.
It is not difficult to see from what Jiao said that the fat boss Liu did a lot of work for him.
"Okay, let's stop the boat, it's right here." After driving for more than 10 minutes, following Old Man Li's instructions, Hong Tao directed Pawei to park the boat on the north side of a small island. This place is very desolate, and the island is full of various kinds of people.
There are shrubs and cliffs to the north, and there is no sign of human activity.
"While the sun hasn't come out yet, I'm fishing for white flowers. The white flowers here are big. Last year I caught one that weighed more than 20 kilograms and was as long as half a man." When the boat dropped the anchor and stopped, Old Man Li said
I walked to the bow of the ship, looked around, and made my first suggestion.
"Okay, then let's play Baihuahua. By the way, what kind of bait do you use to catch Baihuahua?" Hong Tao ran back to the cabin and took out the rod bag containing the lure rod.
"That thing is very easy to catch, but I didn't go out with a boat today, and I didn't bring any fish with me." Old man Li still didn't say what kind of bait he used to catch this kind of fish called white flower.
Mouth.
"Tell me about it, let's just chat." Hong Tao's curiosity aroused, so he simply stopped fishing and sat next to the squatting old man Li holding the fishing rod.
"I just use a piece of fishing line for flying kites. There is a length of 3 or 4 feet. I tie it with a fishhook and tie it to the back of my boat. I also tie a small piece of linen on the line above the hook handle. Usually I can tie it to the back of my boat.
4 or 5 fishing lines like this, and then row
The boat circled the island, and every now and then there would be a hook that would catch a fish. The smallest one had to be a foot long, and no matter how big it was, it would depend on luck." Old Man Li said and gestured, and used cigarette butts on the deck of the boat.
I drew a sketch for Hong Tao.
"Nima, isn't this just bait trolling!? You are really a master among the people. They have transplanted all the methods from sea fishing to freshwater fishing. It's hard to say. Maybe sea fishing was transplanted from freshwater fishing.
Maybe." Hong Tao quickly understood that this thing is basically the same as trolling with artificial bait in sea fishing. He couldn't replace the artificial bait with a strip of cloth and the speedboat with a small hand-rowed boat.
wooden boat.
"Is it that simple?" Hong Tao still didn't believe it. He had been here three times in his previous life, and he always came here to catch meter-level pouts, but unfortunately he never succeeded.
"It's easy to say, but difficult to say. The length and thickness of the cloth strip need to be very suitable so that it doesn't swing back and forth in the water, and the speed of the rowing boat must be controlled. It can't be too fast, and the fish can't catch it if it's too fast.
Don't put it on too slowly. If it's too slow, the cloth will not
It's like a small fish swimming." At this moment, Old Man Li seemed like a master. In two simple sentences, he explained the key, and he was not afraid to talk about these two key techniques. They were all based on his many years of practice.
In summary, everything is in your head and no one can take it away.
"Okay, I understand. You need to rest first. There is tea and snacks in the cabin. If you are thirsty, you can drink. If you are hungry, you can eat. Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we will trouble you again." Hong Tao finished listening to Old Man Li.
He also understood the explanation. This thing was all based on experience. Even if he wanted to teach it to himself, he couldn't teach it in a short time.
