"Don't swim too far, just flop on the shore." Hong Tao ordered again, and then started swimming along the shore about ten meters away.
"Stop nagging, you blabbermouth." Wang Jian was very dissatisfied with Hong Tao's attitude of treating him like a child. Although he knew it was for his own good, he still complained twice.
Hong Tao grew up on the shore of Houhai Lake since he was a child. He almost grew up in the water every summer and his water properties were very good. However, he kept in mind the old saying: Those who drown are those who know how to swim.
In natural waters, since you don't understand the underwater conditions, it's best not to swim into deep water easily. It's not a swimming competition. It's just to cool off. There is no need to lose your life just to show off.
"Hey, Hong Tao, your idea is really interesting. Eat when you are hungry, play when you wake up, sleep when you are tired, and go into the water when you are hot. This place is quiet and the water is very clean. It is really enjoyable." After swimming for a while.
After swimming, the three people climbed up and sat under the canopy, without even wiping the water off their bodies. They lay on the lounge chairs drinking hot tea and smoking small cigarettes.
"Brother Yang, it's only beautiful at night. If it's a clear day, you can clearly see the Milky Way. There are so many stars in the sky that it makes you feel sick." Hong Tao said with emotion as he recalled the wonderful times in his previous life.
"I don't even want to go home. I might as well live here all summer. Thinking of so many cars and people in the city gives me a headache." Wang Jian stretched out his body on the recliner, stretched out his arms and legs, and felt the wind blowing from his body.
The action of blowing across the body.
"No, then, my sister-in-law will run away with someone else, hahahahahaha." Hong Tao continued talking very quickly.
"Get the hell out of here!" Wang Jian threw the empty beer can towards Hong Tao, but his body was still lying on the recliner, too lazy to move.
This afternoon, the sea pole was moved only twice, and a grass carp weighing 3 or 4 kilograms and a large crucian carp weighing more than 1 kilogram were caught. Yang Ke and Wang Jian's hand poles frequently caught fish, and they caught more than ten large crucian carps.
Article. But Hong Tao is not in a hurry. Fishing in the reservoir, especially playing with sea poles, is normal for the first 1 or 2 days, because the density of fish in the reservoir is low. Even if your nest tastes good, you still have to give the fish a discovery process.
, generally after 1 or 2 days of migration, fish will gradually enter the nest to feed.
It was around 4 o'clock in the afternoon when Fatty Gao came out of the tent. He had finally gotten enough sleep. He patted his big belly and coaxed Wang Jian down from the fishing position. He sat on it himself, picked up Wang Jian's hand pole and started to enjoy the fishing.
"Hey, uncle, are all these goats yours?" Hong Tao, who was sitting under the canopy, suddenly heard a movement behind the tent. He walked over and saw that more than a dozen goats were gnawing the grass on the river beach. I couldn't tell how much each one had.
An old man was walking over carrying a wooden stick.
"Well, they are all from my family, what are you doing?" The old man's accent was quite strong, but Hong Tao could still understand him.
"Fishers, come here to have fun on holiday, don't worry." Hong Tao handed the old man a cigarette.
"Fishing? Who bothers with this? Just go to the village and ask the old Zhang family to set a net for you. It won't cost you much." The old man thrust the wooden stick into the ground, then took Hong Tao's cigarette.
Instead of sitting on a chair, he squatted directly on the ground.
"Hahaha, we are here mainly for fun, it doesn't matter if we are fish or not." Hong Tao met this man in his previous life. At that time, he was already over 80 years old and raised many more sheep than now. He still raised the sheep every early morning.
I would go up the hillside to graze, then follow the sheep to the waterside for a drink and rest at noon, and then drive the sheep back in the afternoon. I would rely on selling these dozens of sheep every year to support my stupid son and a little grandson.
Back then, this old man also met Hong Tao and others at the edge of the reservoir. The old man liked chatting with people very much, because he stayed in the mountains with his sheep all day long and no one talked to him. Hong Tao clearly remembers that because of the bad weather at that time,
Fortunately, no fish was caught, so Hong Tao chatted with the old man for a while, and then drove the sheep away in silence. More than an hour later, the old man came back alone, holding a
Put the green onions still covered with dirt and some fresh celery.
It turned out that when chatting with Hong Tao, the old man overheard Hong Tao and the others saying that they forgot to sell onions when they were buying vegetables. As a result, they walked back and forth on the 5-mile mountain road to pick some onions and vegetables from their home fields.
Come, the reason is because Hong Tao chatted with him for a while, which made this old man who had no one to talk to all day feel some happiness. What a simple person!
"What's there to do here? Your little house is nice and blocks out the sun and wind and rain. How much does it cost?" The old man pointed to Hong Tao's tent.
"This should be more than 2,000." Hong Tao casually said a number. Not to mention whether there is room or not to buy this tent, the price is definitely high.
"Good guy, it's not good to be like a flock of sheep like mine." When the old man heard the price, what was good just now turned bad immediately.
"Uncle, are you from this village?" Hong Tao pointed to the village he just passed by.
"No, I'm over there, it's not far." The old man pointed to the southwest. He estimated that it was several miles away, and it was a straight line distance.
"Oh, do you have any chickens in your village? We want to buy some eggs to take back to the city. The eggs laid by the chickens in our village are delicious." Hong Tao remembered that when he first came here to play in his previous life, he was also in the city.
I bought eggs in the village. Xiao Zhang, who ran a farmhouse at that time, personally took him and knocked on doors door to door. This family collected 5 eggs, and that family collected 4 eggs. In the end, they collected 8 kilograms of eggs. That one was the real one.
Chai eggs are called stupid eggs in Beijing.
"What's delicious? How much do you want? I'll ask my son to bring it to you tomorrow." The old man was very disdainful of the ideas of city people.
"A ten or twenty pound weight will do."
"You want so many? I don't have that much at home. There is a big market in town the day after tomorrow. If you don't want to leave, you can go to the town to buy." When the old man heard that Hong Tao wanted so many eggs, he was in trouble. He didn't think about it at all.
I buy some eggs from a big market and bring them over to sell them at a high price.
"We don't want to leave, but we can't live without people here. You go to the village and help me collect some. It counts as much as you can. How much does it cost at the market? I can give you more." Hong Tao was half thinking.
When buying eggs, half of them want the old man to make some money. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing. This kind of convenient thing to help people is nothing.
"Well, I'll ask my son to deliver it tomorrow. Don't give him the money. I'll pick it up later. He's not very easy to use. He's so stupid." The old man pointed to his head, which meant that his son was a bit stupid.
.
"No problem, you can have a good time at home, and I will calculate the money for you when the time comes."
Hong Tao poured a cup of tea for the old man, and chatted with him all over the world, asking about the local landscape and the customs and customs of the area. Anyway, it was still time to stay, and it was not tiring to talk more.
While the two people were chatting, the tip of a sea pole suddenly lowered and the bell rang loudly. Hong Tao ran over and lifted the pole to stab the fish. After a while, he found a carp weighing more than 5 kilograms. After using the net to catch it,
Hong Tao directly gave the fish to the old man. The old man grew up by the water and probably had no shortage of fish to eat. However, he was still very happy. He put the fish on the iron tip of his wooden stick and happily drove the sheep back.
We got home, it was almost 6 pm, and it was time to have dinner.
In the evening, according to Fatty Gao's instructions, he cooked himself and made two hard dishes from the stewed ribs and elbows. Then he made two cold dishes. He gathered around the table, turned on the generator, and turned on two 100-watt electric stoves.
Big light bulbs were hung on the two corners of the canopy, and the first dinner of the Yishui Lake fishing trip began.
We ate, drank, chatted, and had fun. The meal lasted from 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock. The brothers were a little drunk. The four of us drank 2 bottles of Erguotou, and the beer cans were thrown on the floor. Due to a tiring day,
Everyone staggered into the tent without even clearing the table, climbed into bed, and soon began to snore and fall asleep.
After a silent night, Hong Tao woke up on time at 4:30 the next morning. This time is when the sky has just turned white, and it is also one of the two stages in summer when it is easiest to catch fish. He has to row the boat before 5 o'clock
Make up some nests and wait for the fish to come.
When fishing in the reservoir, fish do not bite at any time throughout the day. Early morning and evening are the two most active time periods for fish, usually from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. During these two periods
During this time period, not only is the frequency of catching fish high, but the chance of catching big fish is also high.
