Seeing that the big fish had not landed, the onlookers slowly dispersed, but the two fishermen never returned to their seats. They were still chatting with Hong Tao behind Hong Tao. Hong Tao knew what they were thinking.
, just want to get acquainted with myself, and then order some bait to go.
Hong Tao has done this kind of thing before, just like stealing books is not stealing. Most fishermen like to ponder other people's bait, especially those who catch a lot of fish, hoping to enrich themselves with their bait.
The bait formula can be regarded as a kind of research on fishing, and it cannot be said to be good or bad.
Hong Tao’s main purpose was not to fish, let alone to show off his skills, so he generously gave the two people part of his bait and asked them to try the effect. As a result, Hong Tao and the two fishing friends who took their own bait
He became the protagonist of a legendary story on the seaside of the Queen of Heaven.
From around noon until dark at night, the three of them have been in the rhythm of catching fish, slipping fish, copying fish or releasing fish. Hong Tao's original four throwing rods have been reduced to two. There are occasional moments like this.
Still, two poles caught fish at the same time, leaving him a little confused. The two fishing friends were even more excited. Although they were hot and sweaty, and even their little vests were soaked, their faces were always wet.
Laughter.
The word spread, and it didn’t take long for almost all the fishermen on the northern shore of Houhai to be alerted. Most of them came over to watch the fish-catching performance of these three people. They really didn’t run in vain, not only did they see
These three people caught fish one after another, and they also saw an even more surprising thing. The dozens of fish caught by the three people were all grass carp, and there was not even a single fish that looked the same. This way many old fishermen caught fish.
The hands couldn't help but marvel.
In addition, they were even more surprised when they learned that all the bait was prepared by Hong Tao alone. Considering Hong Tao's age, he is only in his early 20s. Even if he learned fishing from his mother's womb, he would still be better than those 60- or 70-year-old veteran fishermen.
Their fishing experience is much shorter. Those people also grew up on the shore of Houhai. They have been fishing on the shore of Houhai since childhood. Their understanding of this water area is far inferior to that of Hong Tao. How many aquatic plants are there and where are they?
Da Shitou and others feel the same as Ming Jing. But no one among them dares to say, I will only catch grass carp today, not even a single carp!
The four kinds of fish, namely grass carp, carp, silver carp and bighead carp, are basically the most common fish in northern waters. They are called the "four major fish" in the north. We all know grass carp, carp and silver carp, and they are all popular in restaurants.
These are the same types of fish. In fact, we are also very familiar with bighead carp. Its scientific name is bighead carp, and its common name is "silver carp" or "fat-headed fish".
Among these four fish species, silver carp and bighead carp are upper-level fish. Their food is rich in life and organic matter in the water. Their eating method is very similar to that of baleen whales in the sea. They drink water desperately with their mouths open wide, and then put them into the water.
The water flow is filtered through the filtration system in their mouths, and plankton and organic matter are retained in their mouths, while other water is eliminated through the gills. Therefore, as long as they swim, they are eating, and they grow very fast.
Grass carp is a middle-level fish. They like to eat aquatic plants or fallen fruits, and have a very large appetite. They are often called "grass bags" in the north because they often eat into a big belly.
Carp is a bottom-dwelling fish. Their mouths grow downward and they usually forage for food at the bottom of the water. Their diet is very wide and they will eat almost anything, including both meat and vegetables.
In addition, there are usually crucian carp, mandarin fish, catfish, black fish, gar fish, white stripes, boat ding and other fish in the northern waters. In addition to catfish, gar fish, black fish and mandarin fish, other fish are carnivorous.
Fish basically eat whatever they can and are omnivorous fish.
It is very difficult and almost impossible to catch these omnivorous fish alone, because they are omnivorous and will eat anything. You cannot be sure that the bait you prepared is only liked by grass carp. Maybe carp and crucian carp will also take a bite.
Come over and eat some.
Hong Tao was standing on the shore smoking and taking a rest. He had used up all the bait and released all the fish he caught. Facing the praises of many fishing enthusiasts, although Hong Tao also felt happy,
But he couldn't figure out why this happened. Fortunately, fishing fans rarely inquired about how to prepare the bait. Even if you asked hard, it wouldn't be possible. They would just tell you a few and it would be enough.
After several years of testing, the results are still not available.
Just as Hong Tao was packing up the guys and getting ready to go home for dinner, the other two fishing friends were in tragedy. Their fish guards were obviously a little small. Now there were too many fish in them, and it was a bit difficult to pull them out of the water. As a result, the two of them had 4 hands.
After a struggle, the fish guard came up, but the fish did not come up. A big hole was opened under the fish guard, and most of the fish fell into the water and ran away. There were only two unlucky fish whose dorsal fins were hung on the line of the fish guard.
So that the two of them were not too busy in the end.
Amid everyone's laughter, Hong Tao left Houhai Beach. What he was thinking about now was not fishing, but his future. After a day of experiments, he was sure that this big fish scale was the key to catching fish.
The water it has been soaked in is mixed with bait, and the fish catching rate is very high. However, bait without adding fish scale water will not have this effect.
Hong Tao originally liked fishing, but now that he has discovered something that allows him to engage in a career he likes and earns him enough money, there is nothing to hesitate about. He must do it.
However, Hong Tao still has some unanswered questions, such as whether the water used to soak fish scales has an expiration date. If it works one day but not the next, it will be much less helpful for opening a store to make money. In addition, Hong Tao cannot
To determine how long the fish scales can be used, don't wait until Hong Tao's store has been renovated and the investment has been invested. If the effect of the fish scales is gone, it would be too deceptive.
So Hong Tao doesn't plan to open a fishing gear shop right away. He plans to use this summer's fishing season to figure out the secrets on this fish scale, and then plan his future. Anyway, he has no pressure in life at the moment, so he just treats it as fun.
One summer.
From then on, Hong Tao rarely went fishing in Houhai because it was too eye-catching. Once you came here, you would try your best to catch the fish and you could not even catch it, so other fishermen would think what they thought.
You can't hinder Hong Tao's affairs, but you can offend as few people as possible. Being low-key is better than anything else.
Until the end of July, Hong Tao was testing the duration of soaking fish scales in water. He found that the water would lose its effectiveness after about five days, but grains or grains such as millet, corn and beans soaked in this water could be used.
It lasts for a long time and does not expire. It can still be used for at least half a month. Hong Tao has not had time to verify it any longer.
As for the type of fish caught, Hong Tao also roughly understood it. If the fish scales are soaked in the water for a shorter time, such as within 15 minutes, the effect on attracting silver carp and silver carp will be very high; if soaked for 15 minutes to 30 minutes, grass carp will be caught.
The probability is high; if the scales are soaked in the water for a longer time, such as 30 minutes to 1 hour, all crucian carp will be hooked. If the scales are soaked in the water for more than 1 hour, the probability of being hooked is very high. When the scales are soaked in the water for more than 2
When they are young, those carnivorous fish will regard these vegetarian foods as delicious meat foods.
Hong Tao originally wanted to take these baits to other waters in Beijing to try the effect, but this plan was temporarily shelved because Uncle Sam's two twin daughters came to Beijing from the United States to spend the summer vacation, but the two girls were unwilling
Going to visit Beijing with their parents, they have to go out by themselves, which is very difficult for Uncle Sam and his wife. His two daughters are still in the vocabulary stage of Chinese, and it is their first time to China. Although the public security in Beijing is not bad
, but it’s okay to be on tenterhooks all day long.
In the end, Mrs. Burgess came up with a way, which was to ask Hong Tao to accompany her two daughters around Beijing. This would not only satisfy the daughter's travel needs, but also make Sam and his wife feel more at ease. Looking at Sam's family of four,
The eight blue tiles and green eyes contained a feeling of expectation. In order to protect China's international image, Hong Tao reluctantly agreed to become this temporary tour guide and nanny.
