From going out at nearly nine o'clock in the morning, going to Grandma Hu's house to see a doctor, and then going to Wowo Mountain in Jinlin Village to enjoy the peach blossoms, the time has reached noon, Pan Xiaoni and Zhang Yang are really a little hungry. Therefore, when they arrived at Meng Shuqi's house, they sat down at the dining table set by Meng Shuqi's parents and wife, looked at the dishes on the table, especially smelled the fragrance of Wowoshan stupid chicken, and their stomachs couldn't help but gurgle.

Don't say anything, you're hungry, the food is current, hurry up and shake off your cheeks and eat.

Drinking home-brewed fruit wine and eating dishes with good coloring and aroma, the atmosphere in Meng Shuqi's house was not to mention how warm it was.

While eating, everyone was still in the sky and on the ground, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, mountains and seas from the north and south. Where the sow will go to the tree, whose wife has raised a man, how much rain this year, whether the birds on the mountain peck the fruit or not, the content is colorful, meat and vegetarian matching, and it is delicious.

After eating, because Zhang Yang had drunk a little wine, they did not leave for the city immediately.

In order to disperse the alcohol on Zhang Yang's body, and to make Pan Xiaoni linger here even more. Meng Shuqi asked his wife to continue to take the workers up the mountain to water. He took the two of them to his fishpond to fish.

This fish pond is a small reservoir at the bottom of Wowo Mountain in Jinlin Village, and its function is to store the water that comes down from the mountain during the rainy season every year and use it in the dry season. Of course, since there is water, it is a waste to be idle in vain, so it is better to raise fish in it, which is also an income.

When they arrived at the fish pond, there were already seven or eight people fishing there, and Pan Xiaoni wondered, why were there so many fishers here? Meng Shuqi didn't care. It wasn't until she saw a few words on the sign by the fish pond that she realized that fishing was an income from the fish pond.

The sign reads: "Open for fishing, fifty a day." ”

Fifty dollars, eight people are four hundred. It's a pretty good business.

"Shuqi, your fish pond business is very good." Pan Xiaoni said to Meng Shuqi with a little envy.

"Xiaoni, did you start calculating how much money I earned when you saw that there were more fishermen? Ha ha. Actually, you can't just look at today, and you can't just look at my price. You think, first of all, I'll have to hire someone to squat here and watch in order to fish. Let's pay for all the labor costs. Secondly, these anglers are all masters, and some of them can catch hundreds of catties of fish a day. Hundreds of pounds of fish, you calculate, how much do I have to lose? Of course, this is individual, and generally they can't catch so much. Also, in order to raise these fish, I have to throw feed into it every day, and they don't come every day, and for many days, it is empty. If you calculate it this way, I can't make much money. ”

Meng Shuqi felt that there were no outsiders, so he read his business scriptures. Hearing this, Pan Xiaoni and Zhang Yang nodded again and again.

While the three of them were talking, a dry old man came over and said to Meng Shuqi, "Shuqi, you are here." Business is okay today. This is the money collected, you can count it. ”

Looking at the pile of banknotes handed over by the old man, Meng Shuqi took it casually and put it in his pocket. said in his mouth: "Hey, third uncle, I still can't believe you?" Don't count. Have you eaten old? ”

"After eating, a person's meal is easy to cook. A steamed bun, a dish, drink two sips of boiling water and send it away. The old man replied with a smile.

"You, that's how fooling you is, letting your family go to dinner, and you can't get old. Alas. Well, I've got two friends, you take out my fishing rods, and I'll go fishing with them for a while. Meng Shuqi said kind words to the old man who was watching the fish pond, and asked him to go to the hut by the fish pond to bring the fishing rod, they were good at fishing.

"Hey, okay, Shuqi, you pick a place first, and I'll get it for you." As soon as Meng Shuqi said that he wanted him to take the fishing rod, the old man agreed very simply, and immediately walked quickly to the hut where the fish pond was watching.

When he walked away, Meng Shuqi said: "He is the third uncle of my family, a lonely old man, help me look at the fish pond, I will open him for 1,000 yuan a month, and he eats and lives here." ”

1,000 yuan a month is not enough for a pack of cigarettes for some people, but for such a childless old man, it is still a very good income. So he took care of Meng Shuqi's fish pond very carefully.

While talking, Meng Shuqi led Pan Xiaoni and Zhang Yang to the west of the fish pond, found three fishing platforms made of bricks and cement and stopped, waiting for his third uncle to bring them fishing tackle.

This location is very suitable for fishing because of the shade of the trees on the edge of the fish pond. If you choose the east, because the sun is now in the west, the sun is shining on the water, and the eyes are so dazzling that you can't see the buoy clearly, so you don't use fishing.

After a while, the old man came over with a fishing tackle bag and three mazars in his hand.

Pan Xiaoni hurriedly greeted her, took the things, and said thank you a few times. She wasn't used to letting people work for her, especially the elderly.

Zhang Yang and Meng Shuqi saw her move, and immediately came over to help. The pole of the pole, and the fish food and the fish food, quickly pulled the posture apart.

Pan Xiaoni had never fished before, and she was completely overwhelmed by the rods, hooks, floats and bait. Zhang Yang had no choice but to be a master patiently.

"Xiao Ni, look, if you want to fish, you first have to be able to throw the rod, yes, you do this, pinch the figure eight ring or the hook line with one hand, hold the fishing rod with the other hand, pull it so gently, and use the elasticity of the rod to throw the hook out. Hey, yes, that's it, you try. ”

Zhang Yang stood behind Pan Xiaoni, holding her left hand with one hand and her right hand with the other, teaching her to throw the rod hand in hand. Pan Xiaoni is quite smart, and after a few throws, she learned it.

Then Zhang Yang taught her how to rub the bait and how to hang the bait. How to adjust the drift, how to see the drift of the float. Anyway, after a long time, I finally led her into the door.

And in this half-day effort, Meng Shuqi has already begun to fish.

"Wow, Shuqi, you're so good, there's a fish on the hook." Pan Xiaoni watched Meng Shuqi's wrist shake, and a small fish two fingers wide flew up, and she was very excited.

"Xiaoni, what is this, look at me, I'll catch a big one for you later, and let you take it home for Uncle Pan and Aunt Zhou to stew and eat." Zhang Yang saw Meng Shuqi on the fish, and heard Pan Xiaoni praise him, and he was unconvinced.

"What? Zhang Yang, I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced, let's compete. I tell you that all the fish in this pond recognize their owners, and when they know that I am going to catch them, they all bite me on my hook. You're doomed. When Meng Shuqi heard Zhang Yang say that he wanted to catch a fish bigger than himself, he immediately came to his senses and said that he had to compete with Zhang Yang.

"Okay, Meng Shuqi, let's compare, but let's talk about it first, if I catch too much, don't feel distressed." Zhang Yang jokingly accepted his challenge and said, "Xiaoni, you will be the referee for us." Look, I'll keep the mantissa or the weight for a while, and I have to make him lose obediently. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll be the referee for you to see who has good fishing skills." Pan Xiaoni saw that the two of them were pinched, and suddenly became interested, and agreed to be the referee for them.
