Chapter 20: Winning the Championship
When Cheng Lin returned to the fishing spot, the fishing friend next to him asked, "Young man, what kind of fish is your black fish?" It's so big! ”
"A kind of catfish! We locals call it tile fish, but I don't know what other places call it! ”
"How many pounds? I think it's all over your shoulders, right? ”
It was more than three o'clock in the morning, and Cheng Lin was also very tired, so he didn't want to communicate with him more, so he just replied lightly and didn't speak: "Sixty-three pounds and four taels, one meter and five three meters long." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The atmosphere was not good, and the man was self-aware and didn't ask anymore, anyway, he would know when it was announced tomorrow.
With such a big fish, it is impossible to say that it is impossible not to win the championship.
Since I had just been fighting with the catfish for nearly an hour, this fish nest was in vain, at least now there are no fish in it, and even the catfish that were still a lot just now have disappeared.
So Cheng Lin leaned against the stone wall behind him, planning to take a break and get up at five o'clock in the morning to fish in the morning.
This squint was more than three hours, and by the time he woke up, it was already full of sunshine.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to call Boss Zhu.
"Hey! Uncle Zhu ......"
"Haha, Xiaolinzi, are you hungry again? I've already told the kitchen to be over, and it's probably almost time for you, don't worry! ”
Before Cheng Lin could speak, Boss Zhu over there knew what Cheng Lin had called.
But where does the word "again" come from?
Cheng Lin pursed his lips and said, "Thank you Uncle Zhu!" I was tired all night last night, and to be honest, I was really hungry! ”
"Tired all night?" When Boss Zhu, who was still lying on the bed over there, heard this, he hurriedly came to his senses and asked, "What did you get?" Is it enough to win the championship? ”
"I don't know if I won't win the championship, anyway, I caught thirteen silver carp, and there is a sixty-three pound tile fish, but except for the tile fish, the others are not weighed, so I don't know until after the noon weighing!"
"What? Sixty-three pounds of tile fish? Then I guess I'll congratulate you in advance! ”
At this time, Cheng Lin saw that the guy surnamed Zhu had already appeared in the field of vision, so he said to Boss Zhu: "Hehe, I promise your good words!" Okay, Uncle Zhu, I'll eat first now, Brother Zhu has brought the rice! ”
"Okay, see you at noon!"
"Good!"
Hanging up the phone, Cheng Lin said to the guy Zhu who had already come to the side: "Brother Zhu, thank you!" ”
"You're welcome! My name is Zhu Xilin, you can call me by my name, don't brother brother, I'm not a few years older than you! "This guy surnamed Zhu, that is, Zhu Xilin, heard Cheng Lin call him his brother, although it sounded very comfortable, but with his relationship with Boss Zhu, he was embarrassed to accept it.
Besides, he is a junior in the village, and even some of the tooth boys are uncles and aunts, who knows how old Cheng Lin is.
In fact, Cheng Lin is indeed older than Zhu Xilin, according to the generation of Qingshan Town, Cheng Lin is the "incense" generation, Zhu Xilin is the "star" generation, and there is a "day" generation in the middle! (Part of the author's family is arranged)
Cheng Lin didn't know how to bend the curve, at the beginning of the education he was exposed to, the generations were already divided by age, so he took the lunch box and said: "Yes, you are older than me, call you Brother Sheng, I don't lose!" ”
"Haha, for your brother, if you have any difficulties in the future, just say hello!"
"Okay, this is what your brother Zhu said, don't turn your face and deny people when the time comes!"
"As long as you speak, I ......"
……
After a small talk between the two, Cheng Lin inexplicably had an extra "brother", although most of them were joking, but who knows what will happen in the future.
After Zhu Xilin, the "brother", left, Cheng Lin began to eat, and he continued to fish after eating!
But not long after the rod was lowered, someone came looking for him.
It's Cheng Jianguo who has arrived!
"Uncle Jianguo, aren't you going to work today?"
Cheng Lin was a little surprised to see Cheng Jianguo, generally speaking, at this point now, Cheng Jianguo should have gone to the ground or gone out to do odd jobs, but he didn't expect to come here to watch him fish.
"Haha, I wanted to come last night! But I didn't expect the pig at home to run out, and I looked for it for a long time, and then it was not early, so I thought about coming over this morning to have a look! ”
The farmer's pig pen is not the cement pouring and iron gate as everyone imagined. Rather, it is a small fence, with wooden and mud walls, and pigs running out are often seen in the countryside. Especially in the middle of the day and late in the evening, feeding a little later, these foodies will sneak out.
"Haha, Uncle Jianguo, it's time for you to repair the pigpen!"
"I want to come, but I'm just negligent during this time, I'll re-prick it in a few days!" Cheng Jianguo didn't leave his hand, lit the cigarette and said, "How are you fishing?" Hopefully, no? ”
30,000 yuan is not a small amount, Cheng Jianguo dreamed that Cheng Lin won the championship last night, and he hurried to see the situation this morning.
"Hehe, it shouldn't be a big problem!" With the more than 60 catties of tile fish as a base, Cheng Lin is now full of confidence.
Although someone also caught a herring of more than 50 catties, he Cheng Lin is not only that fish, and there are still a lot of fish guards who have not been weighed!
As soon as he heard that Cheng Lin was confident, Cheng Jianguo was overjoyed, and said yes again and again!
Now that it was a long time away from the match point, Cheng Jianguo didn't disturb him to play, so he sat in a distant place, intending to watch Cheng Lin's game end.
As time went on, the edge of the fishing ground gradually became lively. Yesterday, the melon-eating crowd also appeared behind Cheng Lin again, but when they found out that he was in average fishing condition, they moved their positions.
Watching people leave one after another, Cheng Lin secretly said in his heart: "Hehe, let you look at me yesterday, so that I lost a lot of silver carp!" Still want to come today? No way! ”
As soon as the man is gone, he begins to make waves again.
Catch a carp at once, and then wait for the lively people to leave, and then another grass carp!
Anyway, as long as someone is there, it's quiet, but as soon as someone leaves, they get on the fish.
Those who wanted to watch the excitement were so uncomfortable, so some people simply didn't leave, and watched in groups under the big trees not far away.
For Cheng Lin, as long as you are not around, it will not affect his fishing, and he doesn't care about them, what should be fished is still fishing.
No, as soon as he got on the fish, a group of people surrounded him again.
Then it's very tacit, if you come, you won't fish, if you leave, I'll fish.
In this way, you come and go, and the time has come to the last moment, and the time is finally passed to register!
"Toot ~"
The whistle sounded, and in the sharp eyes of the referee, the contestants came to the weighing point one after another with fish protection boxes or something.
Cheng Lin also lifted the fish guard with the help of Cheng Jianguo, why did he carry it? Because Cheng Lin can't carry it alone, and Cheng Jianguo can carry it, but it's not easy to carry!
When Cheng Lin weighed the fish, the referee gave a weight of 170 catties and 8 taels. After Cheng Lin confirmed that it was correct, he signed it.
However, this is only the weight of this batch of fish, plus yesterday's tile fish, Cheng Lin suddenly saw that the total weight was two hundred and thirty-four catties and two taels, temporarily ranking first.
"Yo, so much? It seems that the old king is hanging! ”
"yes, this guy is good!"
When the referee announced the results, some of the surrounding anglers who had already passed the scales were discussing.
Cheng Lin's main competitor is the middle-aged man named Lao Wang, who is also waiting for the scales. He didn't know that Cheng Lin had caught a fish bigger than his herring last night, and it had already passed the scale, so he was full of confidence in himself.
After a while, it was Lao Wang's turn to pass the scales, and he was carrying a lot of fish, and the judge gave a score of 140 catties and 7 taels as soon as he passed the scales!
This time, Cheng Lin was relieved, and Lao Wang over there was also relieved.
Cheng Lin is relieved that he has been sure that he has won the championship, and Lao Wang is relieved because his total weight exceeds the weight of one hundred and seventy catties and eight taels.
So after all the contestants were weighed and signed to confirm that they were correct, the referee led everyone back to the Qingshan Hotel and began to announce the award ceremony.
"First of all, thank you fishing friends...... "Congratulations here...... like the opening ceremony, one after another took the stage to speak. But this time, Cheng Lin or everyone is full of energy, and they are always afraid of missing the moment of registration.
After more than half an hour, it may be that the people above also knew that everyone was tired, and finally started to sign up.
"Congratulations to Loess Root for winning the third place in the Qingshan Cup Reservoir Fishing Competition, with a total score of 136 catties! Congratulations on winning the third prize, 5,000 yuan in cash, now please come to the stage! ”
Then a man who looked honest came to the stage and began to speak according to the instructions of the host.
After a while, I started to apply for second place!
"Here is the second place, and the second place is Wang Fa! His total score is one hundred and ninety-two pounds and three taels! Congratulations to Wang Fa for winning the second prize of 10,000 yuan in cash, please ...... now"
Wang Fa was a little stunned when he heard the host say that he was only second.
He had always thought he was number one, and now suddenly a twist told him that it was only number two!
Although he didn't pay attention to the ranking, the difference in prize money made him feel distressed!
But he's not a kid anymore, and he knows that now is not the time to ask, and he'll know the reason when the first place comes out.
Cheng Lin in the audience was also very excited at the moment, because the next one would definitely be him.
Sure enough, after Wang Fa stepped down, the top began to report the first place results.
"The first place in this year's Qingshan Cup Reservoir Fishing Competition, Cheng Lin! Yo, you're only fifteen? Haha, no matter how big it is, there are a lot of fish caught! His total score is two hundred and thirty-four pounds and two taels! Next, I invite Cheng Lin to come to the stage, congratulations on winning the first prize, 30,000 yuan in cash! ”
Although he was prepared, he was still a little distracted when Cheng Lin really heard that the first place was himself, and he reacted when Cheng Jianguo gently pushed him.
When he came to the stage, the audience was full of discussions.
"It's this young man! Isn't he only a little more than a hundred and forty pounds? How did you change more than 200 pounds? ”
This is a fishing friend who saw Cheng Lin just passed the scale, he clearly remembered that it was a little more than one hundred and forty, and now it has become more than two hundred! Could it be that there is a shady scene?
"Really? Doesn't it mean that fairness and justice are guaranteed? ”
This is a fishing friend who does not know the situation, and he is also very surprised to hear that more than one hundred and forty has become more than two hundred.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and many people expressed doubts about this achievement.
At this time, a leader on the stage who was waiting to present the award to Cheng Lin spoke, saying: "This young man Cheng Lin's results are not wrong!" Did you hear the whistle last night? That's what he blew! Because he caught a huge thing, a catfish of more than 60 catties, he couldn't carry it, so he blew the whistle and asked us referees to go over and weigh him! That's how his 234 pounds of achievement came from, and the catfish is still being raised in the small pond behind the hotel! ”
"I can testify to this, I was the one who fished next to him, and I did see him catch a man-high fish last night!" The angler who had been next to Cheng Lin's fishing position suddenly spoke, saying that Cheng Lin had indeed caught such a fish.
This time the audience exploded and talked about it.
Because it was too noisy, Cheng Lin's award ceremony ended hastily.
This is better for Cheng Lin, he mainly looks at the money, and he doesn't have too much desire to show off himself or not!
