It is still early before the opening of the fish festival on 25 December every year, why did that nephew who works in Nanyan come? He didn't tell Qi Zhengming about his layoff, could it be that he heard any 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, we came here today to have a good time......

"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: "Xiaotao, it's not yet the Open 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, he's busy, 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, Brother Wenhu said that you would fish here every day after you retired, so I planned to come over and see Uncle Zhang's fishing skills in person, and learn from you by the way. ”

When Qi Jingtao was in the county, he happened to hear Zhang Jiangming, a cousin of Zhang Jiangke of the county tobacco company, talk about it. When he went home and talked to his father, Qi Zhengming remembered his old brother, and he couldn't get out of his way, so he asked Qi Jingtao to come over to see what the situation was. Qi Jingtao took Su Min and Xu Manli over for 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. One morning, I haven't caught a single shrimp so far. ”

"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 smiled, and did not forget to wave his hand at the two young girls who were following Qi Jingtao's body.

"Hehe, Uncle Zhang, 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 Xiao Tao, the fish will fall into the hands of people, and you two brothers will try it, maybe you will have better luck. Zhang Jiangke plans to change people to see if he can solve his bad luck.

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. There is also a large bowl mouth, which exudes an intoxicating fragrance when it is coated and matched. This is a very popular freshwater fish bait, anglers will prepare their own, crucian carp, carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, small white fish common in the lake like to eat.

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 broad bean that emitted an attractive fragrance, and immediately closed the cap.

"What is this?" asked Su Min in confusion.

"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, he still broke off a piece of bait and rolled it into a ball, raised the fishing rod to replace the bait, threw the hook out, and stared at the fish 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 just added some pills, 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 said in a broken way: "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.
