Chapter 34 Ice Fishing

Hong Tao is not disgusted with these people. They are not like the ospreys who have intentions for him. These people just like fishing but have no place to go fishing and can't sit at home, so they come to Hong Tao to chat together.

, As for ordering tea in the shop, Hong Tao doesn't care at all. If he opens the door to do business and even counts this small amount, it would be unjust if he didn't become the world's richest man.

The business in fishing gear shops is not very good in winter. Except for some people who like winter fishing, most fishermen have begun to stay at home and wait for the winter. They take out the fishing rods to clean them and look forward to spring.

However, Hong Taodao did not close the fishing gear shop due to poor business. He still came to the fishing gear shop every day to chat with his fishing friends to enhance their relationship. Then when he had nothing to do, he would take Wang Jian and run to the officials or the general manager.

We walked around the factory, but we couldn’t take a look if we didn’t want to buy something. In this regard, fishermen are on par with women who like to go shopping.

Near the end of the year, Hong Tao received a postcard from the United States. Don't ask, it was from Sister Irene. It just said a few ordinary greetings and wished Hong Tao a happy Christmas, and then said that he and Kai

Ti really wanted to go to China to find Hong Tao during the winter vacation, but they did not get Sam's permission, so they had no money for air tickets and could only spend the winter vacation in the United States with their grandfather, etc. However, there was a special word at the end, e-

mail.

Hong Tao opened his computer and entered his mailbox. Due to not cleaning it for a long time, the mailbox was filled with all kinds of emails, 99% of which were advertisements. In the third line, Hong Tao found the email written by Irene to him. After opening it, there was only one sentence: Thank you.

With your help, we win. Then there are 3 attachments that need to be downloaded.

After more than 10 minutes of slow downloading, the attachment was finally downloaded. These were 3 picture files. Hong Tao could guess what they were without opening them. They were probably the nude photos he and Irene took! Look at the two sisters in the pictures.

With such a look, Hong Tao thought of that happy week again, and finally sighed:

"Oh, I still have to save money. If you can't come, I can go to the United States to see you!"

The winter in Beijing is very boring. The northwest wind blows all day long from dawn to dusk. The green branches in the past have all turned into bare forks, and there is no life at all. There are fewer fishing friends and no one is here.

Only those real warriors who are not afraid of the severe cold who are willing to go out in the wind and play nonsense can talk and laugh. Putting on their fishing gear, a few people get together in a car and start running towards some reservoirs in the northern suburbs of Beijing. Because it is a mountainous area

, the temperature can be more than 10 degrees lower than in the city, so ice fishing usually starts from the north.

Wang Jian is a restless person. Just after the New Year, he drove his Cherokee to Hong Tao, crying and insisting on following others to go ice fishing. Moreover, he had already arranged all the things and was waiting to find someone.

The companion set out. He had ice fishing with Hong Tao, but not much because he was afraid of the cold. Even if he was dressed like a bear, he would get cold if he stayed on the ice for a long time. If the wind was strong again, the wind would blow.

It felt like a knife on my face, it was quite uncomfortable.

Thinking of the discomfort caused by the wind during ice fishing, Hong Tao suddenly thought of something from later generations: ice fishing tents. Everyone should have seen tents, which are the retractable things used in wild camping, and are divided into single-layer and double-layer tents. And ice fishing tents

There is not much difference between a tent and an ordinary single-layer tent. It is also a piece of nylon cloth held up by several support poles. However, ice fishing tents generally have no bottom, or have an arc-shaped zipper at the bottom. When using, open the zipper.

The ice is exposed, so you can sit in the tent and fish without having to endure the raging northwest wind in winter.

"Do you have a tent?"

"Yes...what are you using the tent for today?" Wang Jian was puzzled.

"Are you taking it with you in the car?" Hong Tao asked.

"Maybe it's here. It should be in the storage box. I'll go take a look." Although Wang Jian was puzzled, he still went to rummage in the car.

"Look, if we cut a piece of the bottom of this tent, we can sit in the tent and ice fish, so we won't be afraid of the wind." Hong Tao and Wang Jian set up the tent in the backyard.

After getting up, Hong Tao tried the height of the tent. Fortunately, Wang Jian's tent was tall enough.

"You mean to put the tent up on the ice? Don't say it, this is interesting. It won't melt the ice, right?" Wang Jian understood what Hong Tao meant, but he was a little worried.

"We both stripped naked and lay on the ice. In the end, we both froze to death. We will definitely not melt the ice, so you only have a few ounces of warmth. What do you think, do you want to give up this tent?"

"Why don't you want to part with it? Get the scissors and cut it!" Wang Jian doesn't feel bad about this tent. As long as he can have fun and have fun, he doesn't have to worry about spending money.

"Hey, hey... don't do it. Do you have any skills? There is a shoe repairman somewhere in Yindingqiao. Send him there and ask him to smash a zipper. You can zip it up when not in use. In the summer,

It can be used, right?" Hong Tao stopped Wang Jian who had taken the scissors from under the counter and was about to do it.

"That's right, you have a mature mind, and it's full of ideas." Wang Jian extended his thumb to express his admiration, and then he carried the tent to modify it himself.

Jinhai Lake is located in Pinggu County, the easternmost part of Beijing, about 80 kilometers away from the city. It is said to be a lake, but it is actually a reservoir. It covers an area of ​​​​large, with tens of thousands of acres of water surface. It is the third largest reservoir in Beijing, second only to

Miyun Reservoir and Huairou Reservoir. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are many scenic spots to visit, such as the Grand Canyon, the Grand Cave, etc. In the summer, there are motorboats, paragliders and other projects on the water here, but this is all for another day

, there is nothing here currently, it has not been developed yet.

At this time, Hong Tao, Wang Jian, and Fatty Gao were standing on the ice near the northeast corner of Jinhai Lake. Hong Tao was cutting hard on the ice with an ice hammer, and Wang Jian was holding an ice drill next to him, waiting to drill holes in the ice.

, Fatty Gao wore a suede hat that looked like a mountain eagle and was tidying up the tent by himself.

That day, after Wang Jian renovated the tent, he returned to the fishing gear shop and happened to meet Fatty Gao over for a chat. Together, they showed Fatty Gao Hong Tao's new ice sculpture tent. Fatty Gao also ice fished in winter, and I heard that Hong Tao and Wang Jian wanted to go fishing.

As they were getting ready to go on the ice, they immediately volunteered to go with two other people, so the three of them decided to wait until Saturday to set off together.

The three of them had a little dispute about where to go ice fishing. Fatty Gao suggested going to Shangzhuang Reservoir. He goes there every year and is familiar with it; Wang Jian wanted to go to Guanting Reservoir, and he said someone told him where the big crucian carp was found; Hong Tao was very interested in them.

Neither place is of interest to him, because he knows the history of the rise and fall of almost all reservoirs in Beijing. Although Shangzhuang and Guanting have not yet declined to the point where there is no fish to catch, but if he wants to catch well, he must choose a place with fewer people.

place to fish.

Hong Tao chose Jinhai Lake. There are not many people fishing here yet, and the crucian carp here is very big. Hong Tao is sure of this. However, he cannot tell the truth to Fatty Gao and Wang Jian, so he can only persist stubbornly.

My own opinion. When the three of them saw that no one could convince anyone, they stopped arguing. This was not giving up and compromising. The three of them avoided the dispute by drawing lots. Hong Tao was lucky and got the decision-making power, so they

Just come here to kill.

"You drill this first, and I'll help Brother Gao put up the tent." Hong Tao dug three small holes in the ice, then threw the ice trowel and went to help Fatty Gao set up the tent.

After more than half an hour of hard work, all six bowl-sized ice holes have been drilled, and the tent has been set up and sat upright on the ice hole. The opening at the bottom of the tent just leaks out of the ice hole.

Come out. People are sitting in the tent fishing, and they don’t feel the northwest wind outside at all. It seems much warmer. The only drawback is that the tent is a bit small. It is a bit crowded for three people to get in, but three people are very satisfied. You don’t have to worry about it.

Have you seen other ice fishermen on the ice hunching their necks and rubbing their hands to resist the cold wind? Just be content.

Three people each had two small ice fishing rods and used live earthworms as bait. While chatting and drinking hot tea, they shook the fishing rods in their hands from time to time to make the bait on the hook move slightly in the water, which would arouse the small fish.

Fish attention.
