Chapter 22 Fishing in Progress
When he arrived at the new grass area, Ryan began to talk to Ye Fang about the advantages of the new grass as if he had found someone to talk to.
"Ye, you see, this is the new pasture, and this is the original pasture. If you look at the new grass, you can see a lot of advantages just from its appearance! Obviously, you see, the new grass plants are taller, the leaves are bigger and thicker, and you touch them with your hands, and they're very fat, right? That's right, this shows that the new grass is more nutritious! And most importantly, cows love to eat it! ”
Ye Fang smiled and touched the new pasture, very interested, if he really settles down in the future and gets a small pasture, he will come to Xiaoyizi to pull the grass seeds!
Speaking of Lane Haha, Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh, as long as he mentioned the new grass, Lane completely lost his usual stability and became passionate. Qin Yi was very satisfied with Ryan's emotion, which showed that Ryan had a deep sense of belonging to the ranch!
After laughing, Ryan looked forward to the future again, "Think about it, in the future, when the new grass is stable, and grazing with this more nutritious pasture, the cowboys' workload will be reduced, and the quality of beef cattle may be better, and more cattle can be raised, so that the profit margin of the ranch will be greater, not only can Yi make more money, but the cowboys can also become rich!" Imagining that life, Ryan himself was intoxicated!
Qin Yi said in a timely manner: "Of course, Ryan, I had an idea when I bought the ranch, and I plan to take a percentage of the ranch profits as a bonus for the cowboys, but you also know that I just took over the ranch, and many things have to be done slowly!" ”
Qin Yi didn't decide temporarily, but he had this idea for a long time, in fact, the last ranch barbecue party, Qin Yi planned to say, but just raised the salary for the cowboys, just think about it, good things can't be said at once, say one after a while, so that it can motivate employees' passion for work!
This is Qin Yi's own business experience!
"God, is this true? Yi, you are such a good person! Ryan gave Qin Yi a hug, just now he just thought that the salary would increase in the future, but he didn't expect Qin Yi to be so atmospheric!
After reading the grass, Qin Yi invited Ryan to go back for lunch together, and Ryan nodded happily. The three of them rode home, Qin Yi poured coffee, let Ryan and Ye Fang sit and chat, and went to the kitchen to make lunch by himself.
Americans are not used to having too complicated lunch, and they usually simply eat a hamburger, even if they mess with their stomachs, dinner is the big meal of the day. Therefore, Qin Yi didn't plan to be too formal, too formal would make Ryan uncomfortable. In the United States, if you formally invite someone to dinner, you usually have to call one and a half days in advance, and both parties give each other time to prepare, so as not to appear rude.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Qin Yi had already thought about it, the handmade beef noodles he made by himself were very good, let Ryan taste Chinese food!
However, I'm not sure if Ryan is used to eating, for insurance, Qin Yi only made two large bowls of beef noodles, and fried two steaks, after it was done, a small bowl of noodles, if Ryan didn't like it, let him eat steak, and the beef noodles would be handed over to the two Chinese gentlemen to solve!
After a busy while, the meal was served!
"Yi, is this a Chinese noodle, I ate it once before in a Chinese restaurant in Great Rapids, and it is a bit similar to pasta, but there is more soup." Seeing the beef noodles served, Ryan was intrigued.
"It's authentic Chinese noodles, try to see if you can get used to it, and I also prepared steak and salad!" Ryan didn't know how to use chopsticks, so Qin Yi put a fork on him and taught him how to mix noodles.
In fact, the taste is not particularly good now, Qin Yi has not prepared a big bone broth here, if he boils beef soup or mutton soup in the future, it should be more delicious to pour noodles with that soup.
It's drooling just thinking about it, well, do it after a while!
Ryan took a bite and felt it seriously: "It's special!" It's not the same as what I ate in a Chinese restaurant before. After speaking, he took another bite, and then took a sip of soup, "This taste, it's really novel!" But I think it's pretty good, it's better than a Chinese restaurant! ”
Just don't hate it! Qin Yi didn't bother and beckoned everyone to eat. In the end, Ryan ate a large portion of the noodles by himself, Qin Yi and Ye Fang each had a small bowl and a steak, but neither of them liked the salad very much, and most of it went into Ryan's stomach!
After lunch, Ryan had a cup of coffee, took a break and left. Qin Yi packed up the dishes and chopsticks, took Ye Fang to the warehouse, and prepared fishing gear.
In the rivers and small lakes in the pasture, there are a lot of wild trout, trout is not only tender and delicious, it is a delicacy on the table, and because trout is suspicious by nature, the fishing method is extremely exquisite, making trout fishing an interesting entertainment activity, which is very popular in Europe and the United States.
The ranch has such conditions, Qin Yi has learned some knowledge in this area, and in the future, he will invite some American friends to come to the ranch to play, which is a good opportunity to get closer to each other!
This time, you can take the leaves to fish, you can not only play, but also enjoy the food at night, and you can also exercise your trout fishing skills, because when fishing for trout, you often need to throw the bait hook outward, and the length of the fishing rod is generally 4 or 5 meters, so Qin Yi chose two strong and lightweight, elastic fishing rods are also very good, so that the operation is light and labor-saving. As for the bait, it is also particular, the United States generally uses fake bait for trout fishing, and the fake bait insects should be very realistic, and the fluff should be very similar, and the swing in the water is the same as the real one, so that it is easier to make the trout take the bait.
Of course, you can also use real bait, Qin Yi likes to use real bait, so Ye Fang has something to do, digging red earthworms!
Let Ye Fang dig earthworms, this is purely Qin Yi's bad taste, I want to see what a grand occasion it is for this son of a family with fine clothes and jade food to dig earthworms!
Ye Fang took the task, but he looked very interested, digging earthworms, which he had never experienced before!
"Where's the wow? What to dig with? ”
Qin Yi handed him a small shovel and a bait box, and pointed out that under the pine trees outside, there was never a shortage of earthworms in the pasture, and the cow dung in the pasture was all decomposed by this thing!
Ye Fang took it and went to the fart!
Qin Yi was not idle, he drove the pickup, moved the fishing rod and bucket to the back bucket of the pickup, and went back to the house to get a few cans of beer, carry a basket of fruits, and when he went out, Lai Pi also followed, Qin Yi didn't stop him, don't be bored if you stay at home all day!
It's a pity, I went fishing by the Sun River, and there was no shepherd dog around me to follow the sentry, and now the shepherd dog in the pasture, Qin Yi doesn't like it very much, it has long hair and a sharp mouth, and it looks too ugly, and it is not raised here in the main house. After a while, when the time comes, go home and go to the neighbors to find a few puppies, or farm dogs, look comfortable, get used to it! I want to buy some chickens, ducks and geese, and I will stock them in the creek not far in front of the main house, and there will be no shortage of eggs, ducks and eggs.
A pat on the head, pull away!
Since there is no shepherd dog to sentry, then row a boat to fish, and row a boat to fish on the Sun River, looking at the clear river water, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the river, and the various water birds that fly up from time to time, it is definitely more interesting than simple fishing.
Qin Yi called Ryan, and the boat stopped at the small pier on the north side of the living area, and it was very conspicuous not far after driving out of the living area. In fact, there are motorboats in the warehouse, but the trout are too suspicious, walking, talking, and throwing hooks have to be light-hearted, and if you drive the motorboat, the fish will run out!
Busy work, look, the leaves are still digging earthworms, under the pine trees, there are potholes!
Qin Yi laughed, this son of a family, pouting his ass and digging earthworms, he felt funny when he thought about it! The evil taste in Qin Yi's heart!
"How much have you dug up?"
Ye Fang didn't know if it was enough: "Half bait box, is it enough?" ”
"Enough is enough, go back and wash our hands, we still have to go to the small dock over there, and wait for the boat to go!" Qin Yi took it and covered it and put it in a small bucket.
"Well, I've never rowed a boat myself!" Ye Fang happily threw the little shovel aside, rowing is a novel activity!
When I arrived at the pier, I saw a flat-bottomed boat parked on a gravel beach, the hull of which was painted in two colors, red on the top and white on the bottom, and two handfuls of wood pulp on the side of the boat.
Parking at the pier, the two of them moved everything to the three-meter-long boat and pushed it into the river, Qin Yi picked up the fishing rod and sat down, and Ye Fang rowed.
Although it is a double pulp, there is not much problem in the direction, but after all, Ye Fang has no experience, the boat runs very slowly, Ye Fang doesn't care, he rows the boat with great interest, watching Qin Yi throw the hook and fish for trout.
Now the water where the two of them are located, the current is slow, Qin Yi uses a deep fishing method, put the earthworm through the hook, throw it out, make the bait sink quickly, and then pull the bait from time to time, the bait looks like it is alive, which can attract trout to bite the hook more.
Ye Fang stopped the boat, stood at the other end, and also followed Qin Yi's movements and started fishing.
"The third child, when the fishing line is suddenly tightened, quickly lift the rod and hook the fish, be fast, slow down and the fish will unhook and run!" Qin Yi reminded in a low voice.
Ye Fang nodded to show that he understood, the two didn't say much, the trout was too suspicious, not to mention that it would scare the fish away!
Fishing is a recreational activity that tests patience, so the two of them are not in a hurry, while looking at the scenery on both sides of the river, while pulling the bait, from time to time to point out the scenery far or near, but also happy!
"Huh?"
Ye Fang was watching two unknown beautiful white water birds in the distance, and suddenly felt that the fishing rod in his hand sank, and he froze for a moment, and reacted that a fish had bitten the hook, so he hurriedly lifted the rod, but unfortunately it was already slow.
"Alas, I ran away!" Ye Fang glanced at Qin Yi with a bitter face, it was the first time he was fishing for trout, and his reaction was slow!
"Ha, just run, let's change places." This time Qin Yi rowed, much faster than Ye Fang, Qin Yi went down to the river to fish when he was a child, so he had some experience!
ran a fish, and just now Ye Fang had the action of lifting the rod, the trout may have been vigilant, this piece is not good to bite! Trout fishing is such a hassle, but that's what makes it so appealing. This time, Qin Yi paddled for more than ten minutes and turned into a tributary of the big river, which was a small stream, where there were many rocks at the bottom of the river, and the water hit the rocks, forming small waves.
This is the best place for trout fishing!
"Let's fish here, this is a good fishing spot!"
Qin Yi rowed to the side of a big rock, Qin Yi took out a rope and tied it, and fixed the boat!
"Be sure to react faster this time!" Ye Fang nodded, and encouraged himself with a firm face, the one he ran just now made him depressed!
If you can pull that one up, you can show it to Qin Yi arrogantly: "Look at it, we don't understand anything, but we can catch a fish first!" ”
Alas, a missed opportunity to show off in front of your brothers! He stumbled and sank the bait to the bottom.
