"Then I'll start it, you don't check check the drift or something? Don't I catch a fish for a while, you say I didn't catch the hook. The old man quickly opened the bait, then tried the depth of the water line, adjusted the height of the fish drift, and then pinched a ball of peanut-sized bait on the hook, and when he was about to throw it down, he turned back to Hong Tao and made up for it.

"You can rest assured, whether it is fishing for the float or the bottom, for half an hour, even if I lose if I don't catch the bait, I believe that you will definitely not pit me as a child at such an age." Hong Tao had a bottom in his heart, so he naturally did not panic, and continued to tease the old man's emotions, at this time, the more angry the old man was, the more convinced he would be after a while.

"Hmph, don't play tricks, I'll see you later." The old man didn't plan to continue arguing with Hong Tao, so he swooped, threw the hook into the water, and waited for the float to stand up from the water.

"I said Lao Fu, your temper has to be changed, you don't have a nest for fishing with a rod, dry fishing, this is a bit of a bully." The old man surnamed Liu is obviously a good person, a little worried about Hong Tao, he knows what virtues his companion has, and he is afraid that he will really not fish for a while, and ruin Hong Tao's business.

"It's okay, uncle, you don't have to make a nest to catch fish." Hong Tao smiled and played with Old Man Liu.

"Did you see it, it's not that I'm bullying him, it's that he's too crazy, I don't cheat, I draw a few strokes frequently, even if it's a nest." The old man with the fishing rod also knew that he was a little advantageous, so he hurriedly made up for himself.

When fishing with a hand rod, there is generally another kind of bait, which makes the bait to be put on the hook much lighter, but the quantity is much larger, and then the bait is the size of a fist and thrown into the float position by hand, mainly to attract the fish as soon as possible.

When the fish comes, it will find that there is more fragrant bait here, so it will eat the bait you hang on the hook, so that the fish will be easier to take the bait, or you will put 2 balls of bait the size of peanuts in the water, and it will not be discovered by the fish until the year of the monkey.

This method of throwing a portion of the bait into the water in advance is called "nesting", and the kind of bait that is different from fishing bait is called "nest material" or "bottom nest material".

However, in some artificial fishing ponds used for competitions, this is not allowed, because artificial ponds are generally very small, and they are not living water, if fishermen throw a lot of bait into the pond, it will not take two days for the water in this pond to become a batter. However, this is not difficult for anglers, in order to be able to attract fish faster, and not to violate the rules of the pond, they put the bait on the hook a little larger, throw it into the water, and soon lift the rod, so that under the resistance of the water, the bait will stay at the bottom of the water, and the hook will come up empty, and then do it dozens of times over and over again, which is equivalent to throwing a lot of bait underwater, this way is called "pumping the nest".

Old man Fu obviously didn't want to let himself be infamous for bullying young people, one rod after another pumped the nest, seven or eight strokes, suddenly the rod was not drawn, and the fishing line moved back and forth in the water, he quickly held the rod handle with both hands, and tried to pick up the fishing rod to the top, so as not to be straightened by the underwater fish, causing the tangent to run the fish. Due to the excessive force, an old face was suffocated.

"Hey, hey, this is the fish, you can't make it, you can hold it like this as big a fish as you can." Old man Liu, who was watching the battle, was also startled by the fish that suddenly caught the bait, he thought that the hook was on the spear under the water, and deliberately said something to the old man.

"Don't stand and talk without back pain, why don't you try it? Ran away and counted yours? Old man Fu controlled the fishing rod while firing at Old Man Liu.

"Don't, your own fish slip by yourself, this young man's fish food is interesting enough, just fish on the nest, Xiao Gao, and the fishing rod, bring me one too." Old man Liu watched others go fishing, and his own hands were itchy.

"Yes, yes, I'll take it." The tall fat man was also very happy to see Shangyu, at least these two old cadres would not say that he was bragging, and rolled back to the fishing tackle shop with a smoke, and his fishing equipment was placed in Hong Tao's office, saving him from moving upstairs and downstairs back and forth.

"Hey, this carp is not small, your old boy is enjoying it today, I haven't caught such a big wild carp for several years, the fish pond is boring, you see this line walking, buzzing, alas, you look at the aquatic plants below, the hook is gone." Old man Liu was greedy, but he couldn't grab the old man's pole, so he could only fight on the side.

"Shut up, I haven't fished you? The reservoir you took me to last year caught a lot of white stripes in 2 days, and there wasn't even a decent crucian carp. "Old man Fu really can't listen to this temper, so he immediately began to reveal the old truth.

The two old men, you and I teased each other and coughed, and forgot about Hong Tao a long time ago, and when the tall fat man brought the fishing rod, the old man Liu began to grab the bait of the old man and Hao, but the old man forgot that he was so disdainful of this kind of black and broken thing just now, and covered the bucket with one hand to prevent the old man Liu from taking it, and the other hand had to hold the fishing rod high to slip the fish.

Said to be fishing for half an hour, the two of them have been fishing until almost 4 o'clock before closing the rod, carp and crucian carp caught a total of more than 20, the large carp has more than 7 catties, the small crucian carp is enough for half a catty, it was already cool enough, plus the back to see the lively a few to such a tout, the two old faces were excited to red, walking are fluttering.

"Xiaohong, let me tell you, today I paid me, really convinced, our unit is not far ahead, I retired last year, I have been fishing here in Houhai for more than 20 years, today is the first bumper harvest. Don't say 50 yuan, 500 is worth it, it's hard to buy money and happy. As soon as the old man Fu entered the house, he immediately pulled Hong Tao and began to talk.

"Well, if you're happy, it's better than anything else, sit down and drink tea first, I'll make a new one." Hong Tao is also happy, with these two old men here, they are both old cadres, and they will definitely be able to introduce themselves to business.

"I said Xiaohong, what raw materials are you using for that bait, teach me, I will definitely not talk nonsense." Old man Liu quietly approached Hong Tao and said.

"Bah, Lao Liu, do you want to be faced! To face no! This is someone's children's business, are you embarrassed to ask for the formula? Isn't this a clear price, I want to play and pay for it, you have more pension than me, do you care about this money? Before Hong Tao could excuse himself, Old Man Fu heard it, and immediately got up from the sofa and relieved Hong Tao very righteously.

"Yes, yes, even if I didn't say it, if I didn't say it, haven't I forgotten this stubble, Xiaohong, don't think about it." Old man Liu asked Old Man Fu to say this, and his face couldn't hold back, so he quickly apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay, I have too many ingredients in this formula, and it's troublesome to configure, even if I tell you, you don't necessarily want to spend that effort tossing it." Hong Tao hurriedly gave Old Man Liu the steps down.

"It's more than 4 o'clock, Xiaohong, first pay you brother I will pack 5 bags of carp and 5 bags of crucian carp, I will have to pick up my grandson from school in a while, I can't talk more, another day, I'll come over another day to talk." Old man Fu looked at his watch and couldn't sit still anymore.

"Give me 10 bags too, and it's the same as the old one." Only then did Old Man Liu notice the time.

"Did you two use that much at once?" Hong Tao sold 20 bags at once, although he was happy, but he was also afraid that these two old comrades were embarrassed to buy so much because they lost the gamble, as the old saying goes, if you hurt the customer, you will ruin the business, although the old cadres are generally not bad for money, but if they buy too much at once, they may not dare to come in the future.

"We don't use it ourselves, there are a lot of fishing in the old cadre activity center, and we can't let them do it when the time comes, let's use it together." Old man Fu explained.

"Oh, that's it, that's it." Hong Tao hurriedly filled two big bags of bait for the two old men, and then the tall fat man paid for it, not that the two old men planned to black the tall and fat man, but who went out with so much money, Hong Tao said let the old man tie it, and the old man didn't do it.

Carrying the bait to send the two old men out of the door, and letting the tall fat man deliver the rest, it would be rude to be too enthusiastic.

"Boss, just a bunch of things will be sold for 1,000 yuan! How many packs of broken flour is worth if I work for a month? Gao Ming has been watching from the sidelines, waiting for Hong Tao to send people back, and hurried over to say.
