"It's different, the size of the mutton shabu is too big, forget it, you don't care about the gas stove, I'll buy it, you can cut the carpet to the right size." Hong Tao was afraid that he would buy the wrong one, so he took this job on himself.

"Next time, let's call Director Liu and Lao Fu to them, don't go to Jinhai Lake, I have a good place, keep more fish, and fewer people." The tall fat man suddenly remembered something.

"Where is it?" Hong Tao and Wang Jian asked together.

"Hey, I just remembered that the Ministry of Health has a conference center in Yanqi Lake, which is on the south bank of Yanqi Lake. Said to be a conference center, in fact, it is a small sanatorium, but usually no one wants to run where to play, I don't have so much face to take people to play, but Lao Liu and Lao pay them to have a big face, as soon as they say it, and we don't take advantage of the public, it is fishing. The tall fat man explained.

"Well, Yanqi Lake is not bad, Cheng, let Brother Gao ask, if we can become it, we will go to Yanqi Lake." Hong Tao later also went to Yanqi Lake to fish, before 04 years, where there are still a lot of fish resources, and later with the development of tourism, the local government lacks protection of the environment, electric fish, more and more nets, where the fish is gradually not good to fish.

"Alas, there is little water in our north, my daughter-in-law's hometown is in Hubei, we went back once in the first 2 years, and there are also fishers over there, but not like we still drive so far, many of them have large areas of water near their homes, at best, they run dozens of kilometers on motorcycles, and they are already crazy." Wang Jian began to sigh.

"You can be content, you can see from the fishing tackle shops of big factories and officials that the number of people fishing in Beijing is increasing every year, and in a few years, you will have to go fishing in Hebei, and even Shandong, Liaoning, Henan, Shanxi and other neighboring provinces." Hong Tao is very clear about Beijing's fishing dilemma in later generations.

"No, it's really not for me to find a relationship, let's go fishing in Miyun Reservoir and Huairou Reservoir, how can you say so miserable, okay, fishing for a fish is the same as a business trip, alarmist!" The tall fat man was the first to disbelieve.

"I think what you said is mysterious enough, but it's true that more and more people are fishing." Wang Jian basically didn't believe it.

"I'll leave it here, no more, if we are still playing together in 5 years, how about making a final decision on whether it is true or false then?" Hong Tao drank a few glasses of wine and talked more.

The four of them chatted while eating, and it was 10 o'clock in a blink of an eye, if it wasn't for Gao Ming reminding his uncle that there would be no elevator if he came home late, they would still be chatting. Gao Fatzi and Wang Jian both lived on the side of Xizhimen, so they happened to go west, and they threw Hong Tao on the West Street of Gulou halfway, which was very close to his house.

Winter is a torment for people who like fishing, although you can use ice fishing to relieve your cravings a little, but compared with fishing at the water's edge, the environment and artistic conception of ice fishing are different. Hong Tao followed Wang Jian and Gao Fatzi to Yanqi Lake for ice fishing, and then never fished again this winter, not because he didn't like fishing, but because he was going to learn to drive.

At the end of the 90s, there was a trend of taking a driver's license in Beijing, whether you have a car or not, you have to get a driver's license, just like buying a mobile phone at that time, if you don't have it, it shows that you can't keep up with the pace of the times. At that time, several driving schools in Beijing were overcrowded, even in the most difficult season of learning to drive in winter, don't think about learning to drive easily, often a car has about 10 students, but also called the brothers.

Hong Tao did not go to learn to drive in order to catch the trend, but in the later life, he was used to driving, and he wanted to drive wherever he went. In addition, the fishing tackle store needs to buy goods also have to go to the big factory, if you take the bus to go, not only the goods are less, but you can't afford to delay the time.

However, Hong Tao did not queue up to learn to drive, if you go through the normal procedure, you will have to start learning traffic rules at least in March, and you can get your driver's license after almost half a year, so that you don't want to do anything else in the summer of this year, and you will be delayed in the learning to drive test book. Or the old man often says that one more friend has one more road, and a fishing friend who often comes to Hong Tao's shop to chat and fart is the head of a branch of the bus company, and he heard that Hong Tao wants to learn to drive, so he opened a back door and asked him to go to the bus company's own driving school to learn, so that not only the cycle is short, but the passing rate behind the test is also higher.

Hong Tao is not afraid of the exam, even if it is not afraid of the road test, but it is a good thing to get this book earlier, for this thing Hong Tao specially bought a few good cigarettes for the fishing friend, but people don't want it, after the most Hong Tao gave him 2 bags of undiluted bait, this time the fishing friend who helped did not shirk, and happily accepted it.

After about half a year of word of mouth, the special bait sold by the color scale fishing tackle store has made a good reputation among some fishing enthusiasts, especially in the West Sea and Houhai area, fishing with Japanese bait is no longer an enviable thing, and the use of color scale bait is the guarantee to be able to fish more.

And the color scale bait has been used by the fishing friends summed up 2 grades, one is to write the label of the ballpoint pen handwriting in the sun is brown, this kind of bait after careful fishing friends many times to test, the effect is far better than another label handwriting for the blue packaging, according to the speculation of fishing friends, the effect of the good is likely to be the first wave of bait, and the later configuration of the bait are the black-hearted color scale fishing tackle shop owner Hong Tao artificially diluted.

When Hong Tao heard these rumors, he immediately took out two kinds of bait and tried them in the sun, and the result was really like this. In fact, this is not Hong Tao's intention, when he wrote this first batch of labels, Hong Tao used a ballpoint pen that Sister Irene inadvertently left in his house, and he didn't notice that the pen oil of this ballpoint pen actually has this difference with the domestic pen oil. And the refill of this pen has long been used up, and now Hong Tao can't do it if he wants to fake, because there is nowhere to buy this kind of refill, and he can't buy a ballpoint pen from the United States for some labels.

Although everyone hates Hong Tao, the black-hearted fishing tackle shop owner, but even the kind of bait with a relatively low effect is obviously better than all the baits on the market, so the fishing friends who know this kind of colored scale bait, while secretly scolding the black-hearted profiteer, have to pay for his bait, no way, if you don't buy it, you really can't catch people who use this kind of bait, if two people sit next to each other, you just look at the fish next to you one by one, you are not angry?

Just after the Spring Festival, Hong Tao handed over the affairs of the fishing tackle shop to Gao Ming and started a new study by himself. The driving school of the bus company is not close to the city center, in the southwest of the city, the wolf of Daxing District, the south of the Shilujie Park, if there is a 5th ring road at this time, it is next to the 5th ring road, and Li Hongtao's home has to be 30 kilometers.

However, Hong Tao to do not have to worry about traffic problems, this driving school has a shuttle, just passing through the Drum Tower, Hong Tao only needs to go to the front of the Drum Tower at more than 6 o'clock every morning to wait for the bus, although it takes more than 5 o'clock to get up, but it is much easier than transferring several buses to get there.

On the first day of the bus, Hong Tao naturally took out 2 boxes of Hongta Mountain Plug to the master who drove the shuttle, although the enthusiastic fishing friends have already said hello, and the shuttle bus did stop in front of the drum tower for Hong Tao to ride, but after all, this is a troublesome thing for others, and it is better to win over the specific people than anything.

The bus is almost full, it seems that most of them are young people, only a few people are middle-aged, which is also related to the nature of the work of the bus company, it is estimated that these people are the drivers of the buses of various lines in the future, they do not have to spend tuition, which is considered work skills training.

Since there were no acquaintances, and most of the trainees were employees of several bus companies in Beijing, Hong Tao did not want to sit with them, but sat on the extra seat at the front door after obtaining the consent of the driver. The driver is about 40 years old, and he is already a little blessed, I don't know if he is looking at Hong Tao's face with the two boxes of cigarettes or is very good at chatting, anyway, he is chatting while driving along the way, and from time to time he picks up the huge glass cup and snorts hot tea.
