Now it is still early before the fish festival on December 25 every year, why did the nephew who worked in Nanyan come? He didn't tell Qi Zhengming about his layoff, but his son suddenly came over at this time, could it be that he heard some rumors? Zhang Jiangke looked surprised and quickly stood up to greet him.

Qi Jingtao greeted loudly from afar: "Uncle Zhang, I'm very interested, I came to the lake early to fish." Did you catch crucian carp? We came here today to have a good time, you can taste the authentic lake fish......"

"Xiao Tao, why are you here?" Zhang Jiangke happily stepped forward to greet him, held the other party's hand tightly, and asked in surprise while being happy: "Xiao Tao, it's not yet the Fish Festival, why do you have time to come over to play? ”

Qi Jingtao said with a smile: "My dad is a busy man now, and he is busy organizing people to dig the mountains, so he didn't come with me this time." I came here today because my dad heard that you are retired and asked me to come over to see you. When I came to your house this morning, Brother Wenhu said that you will fish here every day after you retire, so I plan to come over and see Uncle Zhang's fishing skills in person, and learn fishing from you by the way. ”

Zhang Jiangke's laid-off was told by chance when Qi Jingtao was in the county, and he happened to hear Zhang Jiangming, who worked in the county tobacco company, talk about it. Zhang Jiangming is Zhang Jiangke's cousin, both of them work in the county, so they naturally know that Zhang Jiangke has a brother surnamed Qi who has died in Yunnan, and he has also seen Qi Zhengming's father and son. Qi Jingtao went to work in Jiangchuan Company and was also familiar with Zhang Jiangming. Zhang Jiangming will naturally tell Qi Jingtao about Zhang Jiangke, especially such a major event as being laid off.

Qi Jingtao went home and talked to his father, Qi Zhengming remembered his old brother, and he couldn't get away, so he asked Qi Jingtao to come over to see what the situation was. With his father's life in his body, Qi Jingtao took Su Min and Xu Manli over for a vacation on the weekend, and completed the task assigned by his father by the way.

Zhang Jiangke sighed, smiled and said, "Alas, you don't have any good luck today. Today I was not very lucky, I fished here all morning, and I haven't caught a single shrimp until now. ”

"Isn't it? My luck has always been very good, how could I not eat the fish that Uncle Zhang caught himself?" Qi Jingtao said exaggeratedly.

Zhang Jiangke smiled embarrassedly and said, "Your uncle has been unlucky during this time, and even the fish in the lake have begun to bully me." ”

"There's some bad luck there. I'm here today, and Uncle Zhang's good luck is coming. ”

"Okay, I can't ask for it. Your sister is a female champion, and if you have good luck with your family, maybe the big fish will be hooked, and my uncle will cook lake fish for you to eat at noon today. Zhang Jiangke said and laughed, and did not forget to wave his hand at the two young girls who were following Qi Jingtao and watching them curiously talking.

"Hehe, Uncle Zhang, let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Su Min, who will get married in January next year. This is Su Min's colleague Xu Manli, who came to Xingyun Lake to play together. Qi Jingtao introduced the two female compatriots who came together to Uncle Shi.

"Hello Uncle Zhang. Su Min and Xu Manli greeted Zhang Jiangke obediently.

"Hehehe, hello, hello. Hehe, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Tao is going to marry a daughter-in-law. Wait a minute, I'll catch a few fish and go back. Wenhu, come and fish with your big brother Xiaotao. If you two brothers try it, you might have better luck. Zhang Jiangke plans to change people to see if he can solve his bad luck. If you really can't catch fish to entertain guests from afar, Lao Zhang really has no face today.

I've eaten the wild fish in the lake many times, but I've never seen how to fish it. Su Min and Xu Manli followed with great interest and gathered around Qi Jingtao to see how he fished.

Qi Jingtao picked up a sea rod, held the fishing rod in his right hand, and threw the sticky bait from the hook with his left hand into the lake, and asked, "Uncle Zhang, where is your bait?"

"Here, you bait yourself, and I'll leave it alone. Zhang Jiangke took a small plastic bucket, Su Min quickly took it and sent it to Qi Jingtao, who was holding a fishing rod.

Qi Jingtao put down the fishing rod and took the small plastic bucket to take a look. The bait in the bucket was made by Lao Zhang. It is a bait prepared with steamed grain noodles mixed with oil and sake lees. Lao Zhang didn't open at all today, and there was a large piece of bait at the mouth of the bowl, which exuded an intoxicating fragrance when it was sticky and matched. This is a very popular freshwater fish bait, anglers will prepare their own bait, crucian carp, carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, small white fish common in the lake like to eat this bait. Fishing with this bait is not targeted, what fish you catch is what kind of fish, and if you can catch it, you will take it all away.

Qi Jingtao also has a fish pond at home, and knows that fishing mainly depends on bait. Once the bait is ready, the fish will naturally take the bait. Fish conditions, water conditions, weather, and time of day are important, but not critical. Technical work such as drifting is not a key point. The core of fishing is still the formula of the bait, whether the bait can attract the fish to come, whether the fish can open their mouths to eat the bait is the most important. Otherwise, no matter how skilled you are, you will find the bottom and adjust the drift, and the fish will not bite the hook in vain!

Qi Jingtao reached out and took out a wide-mouthed glass bottle from his pocket, opened the cap, poured out a green pill the size of a pigeon's egg that emitted an attractive fragrance, and immediately closed the cap.

"What is this?" asked Su Min in confusion. How can this guy always pull out some inexplicable things? I spend so much time with him, and I don't know where his inexplicable things come from, and I don't see him deliberately prepare anything, how can he always get these things?

"Yes, you still want to give medicine to the fish?" Xu Manli reached out in surprise and took the glass bottle to look at the pills inside.

Lao Zhang's father and son were even more confused, but they didn't speak, just watched curiously.

Qi Jingtao pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, you'll know later." ”

As he spoke, he reached over the bait bucket, crushed the pills, sprinkled the powder on the bait, and grabbed the bait in the bucket and rubbed it back and forth. Those phosphorescent green powders are doped in the dough, constantly mixing and doping. After a while, the original light yellow dough turned grass green, and the drunken flavor became stronger and more attractive. Qi Jingtao's nose moved, if he didn't know that it was bait, he would have wanted to take a bite and taste it.

Qi Jingtao pointed to the plastic bucket and said to the Zhang family father and son with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, try it with this bait, we are still waiting to eat the big fish in the lake." ”

"Hehe, Brother Jing Tao, you can catch a big fish by mixing a small pill. Although Zhang Wenhu next to him was suspicious, smelling the tempting fragrance, he still broke off a piece of bait and rubbed it into a ball, raised the fishing rod to replace the bait, threw the hook out, and stared at the fish float floating on the water.

Lao Zhang next to him smiled, didn't say anything, and grabbed another fishing rod and replaced it with Qi Jingtao's bait for fishing.

Qi Jingtao broke a large piece, crushed it, kneaded it into many small balls, and threw them near the surface of the fishing hook of the Zhang family and his son.

Su Min asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?"

"Make a fish nest. After Qi Jingtao finished speaking, he picked up the net pocket and put it on the shore, and said to Su Min and Xu Manli with a smile: "Let's prepare to catch fish." ”

Xu Manli held the glass bottle and said with a smile: "Hahaha, blow, blow hard." I thought you could fish, but it turned out that I was just adding some pills to Uncle Zhang's bait, and I still wanted Uncle Zhang to fish. If you can't catch a fish after a while, let Uncle Zhang hang you on the hook and catch it. ”

Su Min glared at Xu Manli and said, "Crow's mouth, Uncle Zhang's skills are good, of course Uncle Zhang is more suitable to fish." Besides, the fish have to swim to bite the hook, so why are you trying to scare the fish away!"

"How do you know that fish are going to swim?"

"Fish don't swim, walk, or drive?"

Xu Manli rolled her eyes, "There is no humanity of the opposite sex, so the husband sings and the wife follows." ”

Qi Jingtao smiled, holding a net bag, looking at the still calm lake. Su Min also smiled and kept a wait-and-see attitude, as if she was very confident in her husband.

Confidence is not a sign of strength. The five of them calmly stared at the microwave undulating water, and after seven or eight minutes, there was still no movement. Zhang Wenhu couldn't hold his breath at first, pulled up the hook to check the bait, and shouted in his mouth: "Big brother, is it a small medicine for you to add this?

"Don't worry, it's almost noon, and it's not easy to catch fish usually, so wait. Lao Zhang quietly glanced at his son, and continued to hold the pole to look at the lake. Although he was also anxious, he didn't want to ruin his nephew's interest. Zhang changed a piece of bait and continued fishing.
