However, it cannot be said that Germany is not all bad. First of all, it is basically free to go to university in Germany, and it is basically free to see a doctor. However, there is a big problem with this medical treatment, that is, you have to make an appointment with the hospital and wait in line for several days.
One month is possible, and it’s not surprising to wait in line for the first half of a year. Therefore, most diseases can’t wait until you enter the hospital. Either they will recover on their own, or they will have died. It is said that many elderly people in Europe wait in line like this.
The hospital treated him to death.
In addition, I have to emphasize that the crime rate in Germany is very low, so low that even police movies cannot find suitable subjects. Especially in northern Germany, it takes several years to encounter a robber, and thieves are also rare.
Public security is very good. The situation in southern Germany is slightly worse. Most of the criminals are Turkish immigrants or smugglers. Pan can't explain why.
As a passer-by, Hong Tao basically cannot feel these deep things. What he can feel about Germany is that it has many shortcomings and few advantages.
Let’s talk about the shortcomings. First of all, German food cannot be said to be too bad, but it must be said to be unpalatable, except for fruit soup and ice cream. If you try German ice cream, you will not want to look at Haagen-Dazs again, and don’t worry about it.
What brand is it? There are many ice cream shops on the streets of Hamburg. Regardless of their size, they all taste so good and the prices are so affordable.
Secondly, German women are too ugly. Hong Tao and Wang Jian spent a day shopping in the center of Hamburg. They didn't see any local German girls who could be considered pretty. There were a few pretty good ones who looked like foreign tourists at first glance. For a beauty like Pan, you can say
It's rare.
Finally, compared to China, Germany’s entertainment industry is almost nothing. Except for beer halls and bars, the place that is slightly better than China is the red light street, because it is legal in Germany. Even this red light district, and
Dongguan, China
Compared with Shenzhen, Tangshan, Dalian, and even the most strict Beijing, there is nothing that can be said about it. Although it can be openly listed for business on the surface, the content may not be like those half-covered nightclubs and bathing centers in China.
powerful.
As for art galleries, opera houses, concert halls, etc., Hong Tao really does not include them in the entertainment industry. In Hong Tao's view, European opera and classical music are similar to Chinese operas. They are part of culture and are closely related to mass entertainment.
Not up there.
Of course, Germany has many advantages. The beautiful environment is the first. It is not only beautiful in the countryside. It is not bad in the city, and the Germans have a characteristic. They do not like to live in big cities and stick together, but are willing to live in
In a small town with tens of thousands of people, even those who already live in big cities
People in the city are also trying their best to build one small satellite city after another on the edge of the city. In addition to going to work, they will not go into the city if they can. So when it comes to traveling in Germany, just visiting those big cities is not enough.
It can’t be said that you have visited all of Germany, the tourist routes in the countryside and small towns are the best.
The second is safety. The crime rate is low. Law-abiding is synonymous with Germany. There are rules everywhere you go. If you don’t follow them, you will feel embarrassed. People here are like living on a big chessboard. You should walk in a straight line.
When walking in a straight line, you will never do a vaulting step when you should be walking in a square pattern. It is precise and precise.
In Hong Tao's view, Germany, including Europe, cannot compare with emerging countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia in terms of national vitality. It is more like an old man, stable, slow, passive, lacking the motivation to move forward, and lacking the necessary vitality.
As for Pan's statement that Germany is considered a hard-working and energetic country in Europe, but the further south it becomes, the lazier it becomes and the more lifeless it becomes, Hong Tao is still unable to respond, but he still has a chance, because the first fishing competition
It will be held in France. Then he can take the opportunity to see what kind of state France is in.
As the date of the competition approached, the Marx Brothers took Hong Tao and Wang Jian to a large natural lake outside Hamburg for a simulation exercise. As a result, after 36 hours of competition, Hong Tao and Wang Jian won the overall score.
42 kilograms won first place. The Marx brothers caught less than 10 kilograms in total. One of them was not a carp and could not be counted as a result.
As for why the gap between the two groups is so big, there are reasons for this including differences in fishing gear and fishing methods, as well as fishing bait.
In fact, Hong Tao did not use his corn beans soaked in fish scale water this time, but used ordinary cooked corn, added some honey, and ordinary fishing bait and nest materials soaked in white wine. The Marx Brothers used
They bought a bait that was said to be their secret recipe, which Wang Jian called "meatballs."
There are many raw materials for meatballs, including cooked soybeans, small fish, shrimps, something called cheese protein, eggs, live silkworms, clam meat, etc., and then put these things into a blender and blend them like crazy
, make it into a batter-like state, add the sugar water mixed with coffee, and finally put it into a special mold to squeeze out a dough ball the size of a thumb cap.
It's not finished yet. We need to put these dough balls into boiling water and cook them for a while, just like we cook Yuanxiao. Hong Tao doesn't know how long they should be cooked. Anyway, they are taken out and air-dried in a cool place for a few hours.
, until it is very hard but can still be pierced by an awl.
According to the introduction of the Marx Brothers, this kind of meatballs is very nutritious and carp like to eat it very much. Moreover, the hard point does not affect the carp's eating. Those big carp can even bite shells, crayfish and snails, so eating these meatballs is not a problem.
Next words.
According to our understanding as Chinese fishermen, such a hard bait will definitely block the mouth. Blocking the mouth is a fishing term, which means that the bait is too big or too hard, which hinders the hook from piercing the fish's mouth. Once this kind of blocking occurs,
Regarding the condition of the mouth, fishermen often find that the float moves but no fish is picked up, and the alarm goes off but no fish is picked up when the rod is picked up.
But each village has its own tricks, and the Europeans also know that the meatballs can stop the mouth, so they successfully solved this problem in another way. They do not thread the meatballs directly onto the fishhook.
, but hang the meatballs on a section of fishing line extending from the fishhook, and then fix it with toothpicks or a special stopper.
In this way, when the fish sucks the meatballs into its mouth, the fishhook will also be sucked in. When the fish finds that there is a foreign object in the mouth and spits it out, the meatballs can be spit out, but the fishhook will be very small.
It’s hard to spit it out. Compared with Chinese fishing friends who directly put the bait on the hook and use it, this method should be said to be more scientific, but it is more troublesome to operate and has greater limitations, especially the inability to throw with force, which is the biggest flaw.
.
Hong Tao was curious about the Marx Brothers' meatballs, and the Marx Brothers were also curious about Hong Tao's corn beans. They couldn't figure out how to catch the cunning carp with these simple corn beans! But the fact is that Hong Tao didn't use special effects bait.
Under such circumstances, after 10 hours of making a nest made of 200 kilograms of corn and beans, Hong Tao's three fishing rods began to catch fish one after another, and more than 80% of them were carp, while Marx Brothers' meatballs did not seem to be carp.
Too interested.
In fact, this is not because carp likes to eat corns and beans rather than meatballs. According to common sense, carp should like meatballs more. But the Marx brothers forgot a more important issue, which is that fishing in large natural waters is
Sometimes, bait is only one aspect, the most important thing is the bait, that is, the effect of the nest material.
You first have to lure the fish in the water, and then they can find the more delicious bait on your hook, so there are more chances for the fish to take the bait. The Marx Brothers’ nest material is unformed, cooked meat.
The quantity of meatballs is also small, only a few kilograms.
This kind of small and delicate nest is not suitable for use in vast natural waters, because there are not only carp but also many other fish. When you put a few kilograms of nest in the water, the carp has not discovered it yet.
Groups of small fish can eat up all the nest materials within ten minutes. At this time, it is difficult for carp to detect them just by relying on the few meatballs in the water.
