Six hundred and six chapters all the way to the south
"Don't... don't... don't, don't do it. Wife, listen to me. These fishing gear are not actually fishing gear, but air tickets and travel checks for our vacation. Tell me, if I give you half
Where do you most want to go during this month's holiday? Anywhere in the world is fine!" Hong Tao quickly hugged Irene, took a fishing rod out of her hand, and asked with a smirk on his face.
"Are you so sure you can beat Paul? Thomas told me that Paul didn't tell the truth last night. Not only did he get third and fourth place, he also entered the top 20 of the year-end rankings every year, and he was in the top 20 of the year-end rankings.
He has a lot of friends among FLW members, including people on the organizing committee.
Very familiar. And aren't you unfamiliar with this method of fishing with artificial bait? Do you think we will win? If we spend our own money to play, I would rather not go!" After talking for a long time, Eileen still felt sorry for the money. This is
A standard miser, according to traditional Chinese saying, loses money and only eats but does not eat.
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with him, but I still have to make some preparations, so you can't cause trouble for me. Go take a look at the world map in my bag and choose a place you're satisfied with. Wait until I defeat him.
, just go there and stay in a hotel with a swimming pool
Shop, bask in the sun every day, and eat French food!" Hong Tao didn't hate Irene's stingy habit. On the contrary, he was very satisfied, because this woman spent a long time licking her from the outside in, and she never was stingy with Hong Tao. This
It’s already very rare.
"Really!" When Irene heard that Hong Tao was sure to beat Paul, a smile finally appeared on her face.
"That's necessary. Do you have an electric drill here?" Hong Tao patted his chest and made a promise. Then he got down to business.
"Electric drill? No, the concierge downstairs has one. Usually when residents have something broken at home, they always ask him to come and fix it. He is a Mexican immigrant named Santiago. I can ask him." Irene thought for a moment.
Within seconds, he made sure that he did not have such a sophisticated tool in his house, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"@￥#@%!!...! Santiago will send the electric drill right away." Irene chirped a few words on the phone and then put down the phone.
"Do you also speak Spanish?" This was the first time Hong Tao heard Irene speaking a language other than English, and he was very surprised.
"I know a little bit. I learned it after I came to New York. We often have to deal with immigrants here. Most of them can speak Spanish but not English, so I naturally learned it!" Irene glanced at Hong Tao proudly,
Then he turned around and walked back to the bedroom.
Santiago is a short, thick, middle-aged man with a head of curly hair that is even curlier than a fresh perm. His arms are full of muscles. Although he is not as tall as Schwarzenegger, he can still be considered.
A small governor. If Hong Tao met him outside, he would never dare to get close to him. He would look like a gangster thug.
Although his appearance is very ugly, Santiago's personality is completely opposite to his appearance. He also knows a little English. He can also stutter a few words, which can probably express his meaning clearly. When he saw Hong Tao using
When he was holding the artificial bait with his hand and planning to drill holes in it, he immediately grabbed the electric drill and told Hong Tao with gestures and words that the electric drill could not be used like this because it was unsafe.
Finally, through Eileen's translation, Hong Tao understood what Santiago meant. It turned out that he saw Hong Tao using an electric drill to drill those smooth baits, and was afraid that the drill bit would slip and hit Hong Tao's hand, so he suggested that Hong Tao drill his hand.
In the workshop, he used a vise to hold the bait before drilling, otherwise he wouldn't lend the electric drill to Hong Tao. He was afraid that Hong Tao would be blamed for his injury and would have to pay for his medical expenses.
Since the offer was kind, Hong Tao couldn't refuse, so he had to pick out 20 baits that he thought were more pleasing to the eye, and then followed Santiago downstairs to drill holes. Not to mention Santiago.
With Santiago's transitional safety awareness, the artificial baits made in the United States are of much better quality than those sold in China. They are made of plenty of materials and are extremely strong. Without the help of Santiago's vise, Hong Tao would not have been able to survive.
If it gets to your fingers, it's going to hurt Irene's floor.
After working all morning, Hong Tao finally drilled three 0.2-inch holes on all these lures, which is almost equal to a diameter of 5 mm, and then asked Santiago to help find a very fine artificial sponge. Only then was he satisfied.
We returned to the apartment. As for the kind-hearted Santiago, Hong Tao didn't take advantage of him in vain. He invited him over for lunch to taste the authentic Chinese food he cooked, with enough beer and cigars!
After lunch, Hong Tao began to prepare his secret weapon, fish scale water. He diluted a small bottle of fish scale water into five types in different proportions, and then soaked sponges cut into small strips. According to his plan, those
The artificial baits will be divided into 5 categories according to color, with 4 pieces in each category, and they will be put into different sponge strips respectively. Then when they arrive at the fishing ground, they will conduct experiments while fishing to see which dilution ratio of fish scale water is the most effective, and then put the artificial baits
Replace everything with this sponge strip.
In fact, Hong Tao still has a lot of time to conduct field experiments in the waters near New York. This is indeed what he planned, but Eileen rejected his idea. The reason is very simple. To fish in the United States, you need to apply for a fishing license.
Yes, although it is not very difficult to apply, you still have to go through the process of application, examination, and issuance. In addition, Hong Tao is a foreigner, so the application procedures may be more troublesome.
Even if the fishing license is applied for, it will probably take several days, and there is no time to rush. They have to set off from New York next Wednesday, because the competition location is in Florida, which is still more than 2,000 kilometers away from New York. According to Paul’s plan
, they have to leave 3 days in advance and drive all the way
Go. It’s not that Paul likes to drive, but that he still has to pull his beloved fishing boat. For an experienced angler like him who pursues pursuits, the fishing boat distributed by the competition cannot reflect his identity. As long as there are conditions,
Most of those professional players use their own fishing boats, which in Chinese terms means: thing B!
Not being able to test is not a fatal problem for Hong Tao, a cheating master. He put all the soaked sponge strips in 5 sealed vials, with dozens of each type, and brought them with him during the competition.
At most, it would take him half a day to test it. Hong Tao believed that as long as this fish scale water worked, his results would be good. He estimated that he would be able to successfully pass the first two days of qualifying in just two hours of fishing.
However, Hong Tao is not completely trouble-free. His biggest trouble now is that he does not have a suitable assistant. According to the requirements of the FLW competition, there must be two people on each fishing boat, one professional fisherman and one amateur fisherman. Now professional fishermen have
Now, it’s Hong Tao himself, so where can I find amateur fishermen?
The FLW tournament could randomly match Hong Tao with an amateur angler, but Hong Tao doesn’t want it! The fishing boat is only a small place, and Hong Tao has no place to hide. Any cheating methods will definitely be discovered by the amateur angler.
, although he is an amateur, he is also a fisherman. As long as he is not stupid, he will definitely be suspicious of Hong Tao's abnormal behavior, so this assistant must not be an outsider.
But Hong Tao has no place to find his own people now, and this secret cannot be known to others. The only exception is only one person, and that is his daughter-in-law, Irene.
"What? You want me to participate in a competition with you? I...I don't know how to fish!" Irene did not refuse Hong Tao's proposal. She is not afraid of the sun, let alone tanning. If she can tan, she will be all
At least 80% of women in the United States go fishing, but she really doesn’t know how to fish, not at all.
"It doesn't matter, you're just my assistant. I'll take care of fishing, but you can take care of playing and sunbathing. There is a saying in China: Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle! Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?" Hong Tao fooled Ai.
With Lin's hand in hand, a small matter such as who pays for a meal can be related to world peace.
"Then if you lose the game, don't blame me!" Irene was moved by this and was just waiting for Hong Tao to give her another reassurance.
"If you lose, it's all my responsibility. The money for the treat comes from my coffers. And do you think I can lose? Have you ever seen me lose in fishing?" Hong Tao threw the reassurance without hesitation.
.
"Okay then, buy me a fishing suit like yours! Let's dress up as a couple!" Eileen thought for a long time and just came up with this way to boost morale.
Early in the morning of October 7, 2008, Hong Tao, Irene, Paul and his unlucky driver drove two cars from Canal Street into the Holland Tunnel, crossed the Hudson River, and set foot on New Jersey.
Jersey City, Pennsylvania, then follow Highway 78 through Jersey City and the Newark Bridge, then change to Highway 95, turn south, and go straight to Philadelphia, the largest city in Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, or Philadelphia for short, although the name is not as eye-catching as American cities such as New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, in the eyes of Americans, Philadelphia is the United States, and the United States is Philadelphia.
Why do you say that? Because the United States was founded here, and it served as the capital of the United States in the 18th century. During the Revolutionary War, the first Continental Congress was held here, and elites from all over the United States discussed here.
How to fight against the British? It is also a strategic location. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States were drafted and signed in Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
The first Stars and Stripes Banner of the United States of America was also sewn by Ms. Ross from Philadelphia. Ms. Ross’s former residence is still here today. She used a sewing machine to make the first Stars and Stripes Banner in her kitchen at the request of Washington.
However, there were only 13 stars on the Stars and Stripes at that time because there were only 13 states in the United States at that time.
