At noon, Jesse fried steak with broccoli for everyone and had a simple meal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the afternoon, when Tang Wen was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone. Nangong Caiwei pushed open the door of his bedroom.
"Huh?"
She had already changed into the cowboy dress she had yesterday, and hooked her fingers at Tang Wen, who was lying on her back on the bed: "Let's go, my sister will take you to play in the snow..."
Tang Wenqiang resisted the urge to ask, 'Who is Xue', put on his coat and went downstairs.
The main road to the ranch in front of the house had been swept out of a path, and Thomas and Taylor bent on the roof of the house, not knowing what to do or what to do.
"Hah!"
Before he could ask, he heard Nangong Caiwei shouting a few meters away. As soon as he turned his head, a large snowball flew towards his face.
It's a pity that at this speed, he dodged it as soon as he turned his head.
Nangong Caiwei saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly threw the other one over, and then took advantage of the gap when he bent down to dodge. Got into the pickup truck that was heating up. Pretty face leaned against the car window and snorted, then grimaced in the middle of the foggy glass window. 'Childish ghost!' Tang Wen gave her a lip shape in Chinese...
Jesse looked at the two of them with a smile and moved a cross drill bit into the back compartment, which looked like a big cross overall. The erected drill is cleverly tied with a bungee cord in the middle. Seeing that Tang Wen seemed to be interested in this, he explained to him: "Put the drill on the ice, and then pull this crossbar back and forth, you can easily drill down..."
Tang Wen suddenly said: "We are going to go fishing on the ice." ”
Jesse shrugged his shoulders strangely and said, "Yes, Nangong didn't tell you, the fishing gear is here..." It's just that because of the angle, he can't see it. After all, the cabin of the Raptor F150 is still quite high.
Drive on the road and head into the mountains. Tang Wen was in the co-pilot, and Nangong Caiwei sat in the back and introduced him: "Turn around from the foot of the mountain, and drive for more than twenty minutes to almost reach your private fishing ground!"
Tang Wen knew that she was talking about the more than 1,000 acres of lake attached to the ranch, where breeding is prohibited. It is said that it is afraid of affecting the ecological environment of this large lake and the nearby mountains and forests.
"Well, can you do anything other than fishing in these waters?" Tang Wen asked casually.
"If you want, you can also hold fishing tournaments here, and run this place as a fishing ground for a fee, these procedures are very easy to do......
"Forget it, I don't want others to walk around my land, there are so few people in the town, how much money can I earn?" Tang Wen waved his hand.
Jesse glanced sideways at him, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you can be so imposing at a young age! Don, you are like a big boss, the first time I saw you yesterday, I thought you were a high school student..."
"Jesse, I'm already twenty years old!" Tang Wen was a little helpless, Americans look at Chinese or Asians, they will always feel that the other party is very young and very tender.
Turning his head, Tang Wen looked at Nangong Caiwei again: "So it's actually useless to say that this water area is actually useless?
"That's not either, fishing requires a license like hunting. But in your own private turf, you have the final say, and you can play however you want. The average person fishing has to be in a specific place, to catch a specific fish... There's no such restriction here, it's all up to you..."
Tang Wen pondered for a moment and nodded: "Sure enough, it is a capitalist society, where there is money, there are privileges." ”
Jesse glanced at him and said, "Not really, the basic rules still have to be followed, such as hunting male not female, old not young... If you want to use a net when fishing, the mesh should not be too small..."
As he spoke, the car staggered on the mountain road to the edge of Pingshi Lake.
"I just saw it once in a hurry last time, this lake is very magnificent!" got out of the car, Tang Wen's black boots stepped on the white snow, stretched his waist and looked into the distance and sighed.
There is snow on the lake, today is not a sunny day, Montana is known as the land of the sky, when there is no clear sky, it is also a pleasure to watch the wind and clouds in the sky change.
After Nangong Caiwei and Tang Wen took down the folding chair and hand-drilled something, Jesse drove the car to the lake, saying that it was to block the wind.
The three of them walked to the center of the lake with buckets and cleared a piece of the ice lake. Nangong Caiwei held the drill, and Tang Wen was responsible for drilling down.
Nangong Caiwei followed Jesse and them once or twice, and they were not too strangers, and Tang Wen's ability to get started was very strong, and he drilled an ice hole on the ice in ten minutes, and he looked down, not to mention that the ice surface had to be forty or fifty centimeters thick.
Jesse took out three combination hooks and hung them on the bait and threw them into the ice cave.
It took nearly an hour of such busy work for three people to make three ice caves. Several colorful floats are hung on the fishing line that is exposed to the ice. In this way, it is easy to see from a distance whether there is a fish bite.
"Alright, let's get back to the car, the fish will feel it when you walk around the ice...... Let's go over there and make coffee for ......."
Return to the lake where you parked.
"Is this chair sturdy?" Tang Wen held on to the black folding canvas chair, and the back of the chair felt very light in his hand. Slightly unstable.
"How can a handful of more than 100 dollars not be strong! I don't know the goods..." The last three words Nangong Caiwei used Chinese, barely saving some face for Tang Wen in front of the employees.
Tang Wen shook his head and watched Jesse lift a stove from the car, the shape was simple, straight up and straight down the shape of a tube, there was no bottom underneath, and there was a vent on the side.
"Burn it directly on ice?"
"Oh, of course not. So saying, she took down a bundle of firewood from the car, picked a few of them of similar size, and spread a few under the stove before putting the stove on it.
A piece of firewood soaked in kerosene was easily ignited by a fire, and the flames were thrown downward. She added some more wood, and as soon as the flame was up, she put the brass-colored coffee pot on it.
"This pot is a few years old, isn't it?" Tang Wen sat on the chair, and he happened to be able to see the bottom of the blackened pot.
Jesse nodded, "This pot has been used since Thomas was a child..."
A few people sat down and chatted for just five minutes. Nangong Caiwei suddenly exclaimed:
"Hey, bite the hook so soon?" she said, gesturing to the red float that was bobbing downward.
"It's a bit fast indeed. We're making such a big fuss that the fish in the neighborhood should be scared away... It usually takes an hour or two for a fish to bite..."
"Ahem! Maybe I've always had luck. Tang Wen raised his eyebrows, and the fact was that he had just thrown a goodwill skill at this frozen lake.
"Wow, this fish is not small!" The front of the rod had been bent, and Jesse pressed his lower abdomen against the end of the premonition, leaving his free hand to recover the line and the wrestler.
Tang Wenwen wanted to take over to help, but suddenly the fishing rod in front of him began to shake. He had no choice but to look at the immediate ......
The fish struggled in the winter water for a while and quickly lost its strength. The one Jesse pulled out was almost half a meter long, and she gestured for it, longer than her forearms and palms together.
Tang Wen is a little smaller, about ten centimeters smaller than hers. However, looking at these two fish, his expression was a little strange. I think of the news I read a long time ago - the Asian carp in the inland rivers of the United States is rampant!
That's right, they caught two fish, the bigger one was grass carp, and the other was carp.
