060 Taigong Fishing
Nick put the whole truck of fish fry into it, fifteen hundred fish fry, which sounds like a lot, but the whole lake is not small, and in a blink of an eye, it is all gone, as if the stream flows into the sea, and not even a single fish can be caught by the naked eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Am I buying too little?" Lu Li began to scratch his head a little, he was a layman when it came to things like fish farming in the lake, and Ke Er and the others were also laymen, and everyone looked at each other.
The lake may seem small from afar, but in fact it is just an illusion, and the whole lake is located in the middle of the Cloud Peak Ranch and the Marshall Valley Ranch, which is more than 15,000 square meters, which is wider than the cattle pens and stables of the Cloud Top Ranch. If you are rafting on it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach the other side in less than 40 minutes.
Lu Li originally thought that 1,500 fish fry would be enough, but now he was a little uncertain.
In the end, Nick smiled and said, "No, almost." Some of these fry swim upstream of the stream, while others lay eggs. When they grow up, catch the right amount and then form an ecological cycle, and that's no problem. ”
Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to the lake in front of them again, from light blue to dark blue to emerald green, the lake started from the shore, and the color became darker the further you went to the center of the lake, and the gradient color was really amazing; In the clear water of the lake, you can see the dead branches and pebbles at the bottom of the water, and even the trunks of two huge plane trees, quietly lying below the water, as if it were another mysterious world; The calm surface of the water was so quiet that not even the ripples could be seen, and the golden sunlight fell quietly, like a trickle, and all the noise disappeared between the interplay of light and shadow.
"Moo", the call of the cattle came from the distance, but it did not break the silence, but became quieter and quieter, the breeze blew through the tips of the hair, and rippled in the ears, refreshing with a hint of laziness.
"Wow." Cole couldn't help but sigh softly, he had been on the ranch for so many years, but he had never really felt the charm of this lake. They had always preferred the forest and horseback to the lake, but now he had unearthed something different about the land.
"Is anyone going to try fishing?" Lu Li put his hands behind his back, with a eager expression, looked around, and asked. Then, everyone raised their right hands, and even Nick, who was standing next to him, had an expectant expression on his face, "Nick, if you don't rush back, you can stay." ”
Although Philip's fishing grounds also have fishing services, they are all in captive ponds, which is very different from the lake. It's as if many people are obsessed with sea fishing, because waves and undercurrents are the essence of nature.
Nick looked nostalgically at the calm surface of the lake in front of him, and finally shook his head, "No, I'm still going back to help." Next time, next time I have the chance, I will make a special trip here for a vacation. ”
Hearing this, Lu Li's eyes rolled, "Welcome." When the ranch is fully built, you are not only welcome to come over for a vacation, but also welcome to bring your friends over for a vacation. ”
Nick heard the deep meaning from Lu Li's words, "What, in the future, you want to have a resort here?" ”
"The resort can't say it, it's just a place to go for leisure and entertainment, and I don't plan to send a lot of advertisements, like pulling piglets, pulling tourists here in batches." Lu Li said with a smile, "However, there are still many projects to be done now. Not to mention the rest, all animal affairs are not finished yet. ”
Nick couldn't help but be amused and nodded, "Absolutely." Even if you don't invite, I'll take the initiative to come over. Nick turned his head to look around, "Honestly, this ranch doesn't feel like any other ranch in Texas. ”
"Because I'm Chinese?" Americans' definition of ranch is always inseparable from the word "West", rough and heroic, and even a little rustic; But Lu Li has a special hobby for beautiful mountains and rivers, such as lakes and forests, and he is willing to spend time on the planning of these details, which injects some delicate and delicate things into the pasture.
Nick shrugged, "You mean now?" No, I can't see the Chinese/Chinese element yet. ”
After the vineyard is planted, Lu Li plans to plant a bamboo forest by the lake, and if he builds a wooden house, it will really be "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan". "Don't worry, you'll see." Lu Li said confidently.
After sending Nick away, Lu Li, Cole and the others all returned to the lake again, even Brandon, who looked cold. Fortunately, when Lu Li bought fishing equipment before, he bought twenty pieces in one go, showing the style of the nouveau riche, but today he successfully avoided the dilemma of not having the equipment.
"Fourteen, do you like fishing?" Randy's mouth couldn't stop at all, and before he could take out his fishing gear, he babbled and said, "I've never fished before, this is the first time, it feels so fresh." ”
Brandon straightened up, glanced at Randy, and then silently gathered his fishing gear and took a stride toward the other side of the lake. Seeing this, Randy couldn't help but wave his hand, "Brandon, Brandon, why are you leaving?" It's not good that you're so unsociable. ”
"People dislike you." Jessica stood next to her and complained, and Randy looked dazed, as if he didn't understand why Brandon disliked him.
Lu Li couldn't help but say, "It's better to spread out a little." Otherwise, everyone gathers together, and the fish will not be caught. ”
Randy suddenly realized, "That's right! He stood there and thought about it, then packed up his fishing gear and caught up with Brandon, "Hey, Brandon, wait for me, I'm with you." ”
"Bet, Brandon will move another position." Jessica said with a smile on her face.
Lu Li shrugged, "Bet, Randy will continue to follow." ”
Jessica thought for a moment and threw in the towel, "So, what's going on with fishing?" Is there anything special about this line and pole? ”
"Uh......" Lu Li pondered for a moment, "This is actually my first time fishing. ”
Jessica rolled her eyes in disdain; Cole was dumbfounded, and said in surprise, "I saw that you were so active in preparing fish fry or something, and I thought ......" I thought Lu Li was a master fisherman.
Lu Li spread his hands and expressed his innocence, "I just think it's a good idea, but I don't say it's my specialty." "Lu Li's expertise is...... Journalism majors, not close to nature. "However, the technique itself is not difficult, and we are not sea fishing, so it doesn't hurt for beginners to try it out. The last time I went to Dallas, Philip taught me some basic techniques that I can guide you if you don't mind. ”
Jessica picked up her fishing gear with a look of disgust, "I'll go to the side." ”
Lu Li's gaze fell on Cole again, and Cole raised the fishing gear in his hand, revealing his white teeth, "I'm ready." ”
Lu Li could only touch his nose, lowered his head and began to prepare his fishing gear.
Although the fry have just been put down, in fact, there are fish in the lake, and according to Cole, Liz and Jack have no hobby of fishing, and the same is true of the Marshall Valley Ranch on the other side, so the fish in the lake should be very fat, and fishing is just right now.
The five men were scattered in different places and sat down quietly - four of them, to be exact. Bucky was still in high spirits at first, constantly circling around Lu Li's feet, reaching out to the edge of the lake from time to time, but he didn't dare to really touch the water, and then depressedly returned to Lu Li's feet, and waited for a while, and then went out unwillingly to test again, and so on and so forth, and finally seemed to be finally tired, lying at Lu Li's feet to bask in the sun.
The sound of clattering footsteps was particularly clear at the quiet lake's edge, and when he turned around, Lu Li saw Teddy's golden hair, sticking out his tongue and trotting all the way over. Lu Li raised his left hand, and Teddy got into his arms, staring at Lu Li's chest with his head, constantly coquettish.
Cole, who was sitting not far away, chuckled and shouted, "Teddy, come here." ”
Teddy looked up at Cole, left Lu Li's embrace, and ran forward two steps, but before he could get close to Cole, he circled back and hovered behind Lu Li.
Cole muttered depressedly, "You little fellow, ungrateful, must be because of the scent of churros on Fourteen, you're like this, aren't you?" Isn't it? "I don't know why, Teddy likes Lu Li very much, Lu Li has not been here for a long time, Teddy has already regarded Lu Li as the master, and Cole is completely a flower of tomorrow.
Lu Li raised his right hand and rubbed Teddy's head vigorously, "Good guy, good guy." Then he noticed that there was something white in Teddy's mouth, and he looked down carefully, and it was actually confetti, which made Lu Li sigh lightly, "Tell me honestly, did you gnaw on my information again?" ”
As a result, Teddy whined twice, trying to argue something, but Lu Li knew that this was the signal of Teddy's admission. Teddy is very fond of biting paper, and it's not just plain paper, especially those things like contracts or blueprints, which are Teddy's favorites.
Not so long ago, the contract for the purchase of cattle was completely bitten.
"So, what did you bite again?" Lu Li recalled it carefully, and he didn't remember what information was left in the hall.
Teddy, however, dodged Lu Li's question and walked over to Bucky with his head down, "Hey, little one, answer my question!" Lu Li's shout was not answered by Teddy, only to see him lower his head and sniff Bucky with his nose, then arch slightly.
Bucky, who was sleeping, was woken up, opened his eyes, glanced at Teddy, and closed them again. But Teddy was obviously unwilling to give up easily, and arched again, and this time Bucky got impatient, stood up directly, glanced at Teddy with disdain, and then slowly left with a haughty step, and left like that......
Teddy hesitated, looked at Bucky, and then at Lu Li, as if he didn't know if he should catch up.
