Chapter 621: Free Lunch
The color of the side of the body is more, which has a lot to do with the different water layers, different environments, and different predation habits of fish living in the water. For example, those small omnivorous fish, their bellies tend to be silvery white, because they are mainly active in the upper layers of the water, and predators come from the middle and lower waters in addition to the sky.
When these predators look up from the bottom of the water, especially during the day, it is not black and green, but a piece of white, because the sun is hanging in the sky, and whoever looks at it is white and swaying, so the abdomen is silvery-white, and it is best to have a reflective effect, which is the best protective color.
For those predatory fish that move in deep water or in shady places, such as the black fish, its main consideration is not to avoid enemies, because it has almost no natural predators in the water, its main consideration is how to hide its body, can confuse those small fish and shrimp. So their backs are still black, because whether it's an enemy in the sky or a small fish, from above down, the water is black. Their abdomen will have many patterns or spots, which are very suitable for the underwater environment, and are more suitable for them to hide in aquatic plants, rocks and debris to sneak attack.
However, these protective colors are not set in stone, and if you fish a lot, you will find a situation. The same kind of fish, in different waters, different water quality and underwater environment, will grow different body colors and patterns. This means that these fish will slowly adjust their body color according to the environment, making it more suitable for living in these waters.
Of course, this adjustment is not done in a day or two, and it will take a while, such as months or years, to fully transform. This is the problem that Hong Tao is encountering now, this perch actually changed its body color due to the difference in the living environment, which shows a very important problem, this stone has been piled up here for a long time, and it has attracted a group of fish to use this place as a hiding place and hunting ground.
According to this phenomenon. It's easy to conclude that there are certainly not a few largemouth bass here, as the area is so large that a few bass live and hunt here is obviously a bit of a waste. Fish are no more stupid than humans, there is food, there is better place to live, and they know very well that as long as that place is not too crowded, they will definitely occupy a territory of their own.
After coming to this conclusion, Hong Tao decided to search the pile of stones. It was not yet 11 o'clock, and he decided to spend at least two hours here, not only to search for sea bass, but also to confirm his reasoning. Fishing is a process of fighting wits and courage with God and fish, constantly summarizing gains and losses, constantly raising problems, and then solving it, which is the ultimate fun. As for those fish. Just a result to prove one's abilities, there must be, but not the main thing.
Hong Tao's judgment is getting closer and closer to the truth, after Erin caught the first largemouth bass. He fished shortly after, a light-colored bass about the size of Irene's. There are indeed a lot of bass and other predatory fish hidden in the waters, and it took about an hour to fish. Hong Tao and Erin searched almost three-quarters of the stone pile, and there were still a few stone piles left in the innermost stone pile.
At this point, perhaps tired of playing, Erin threw the fishing rod and yelled for lunch. Hong Tao stopped searching, sat in the driver's seat with Erin and began to feed his stomach. At this time, the light rain in the sky has stopped, but it is still a big cloudy day, and today's lunch is much stronger than yesterday, no longer a simple hot dog and coke, but two frozen lobster rice and two plates of lobster sashimi.
This is a by-product of last night's dinner in the hotel restaurant, where the foreman is also a fishing fan, and although he can't go to the pier to watch the excitement because he goes to work, he keeps staring at the TV in the bar. When Hong Tao and Erin appeared in the restaurant, the foreman immediately recognized the two of them, and it was estimated that Hong Tao's appearance was different from the Americans here, which was very recognizable.
The foreman personally received Hong Tao and his wife, not only patiently introduced several lobster dishes with American characteristics in their restaurant, but also recommended this frozen lobster rice to Hong Tao. This kind of lobster rice is packed in a tin foil wrapped box, which can be stored for 24 hours in an incubator, and when eating, as long as a rope on the side of the package is pulled out, the box will automatically heat up, and the temperature can reach 80 degrees, which is very suitable for short trips, and is more suitable for anglers like Hong Tao who go out all day.
Hong Tao didn't say a word, he asked for 2 copies to try first, there are a total of 3 varieties of fast food in this package, if the taste is not too bad, Hong Tao plans to use this thing as a lunch in the next two days. As a Chinese who is accustomed to eating rice, steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables, Hong Tao really can't stand eating those bread sticks, meat slices, and meat pieces every day, even if your name is fancy, to put it bluntly, it is two things, bread and meat, too monotonous.
The foreman not only provided Hong Tao with a free lunch tasting, but also gave him a free dinner. Of course, this is not how much Hong Tao's personal charm is, people also have a small condition, and they need Hong Tao to take a photo of Beijing with the foreman in the restaurant when he is eating.
Hong Tao felt that it was worth it to exchange a photo for several free meals, and his face could now earn money, and he was still making money from Americans, which made him very happy. In fact, the foreman is not a fool, the hotel where he is located is on the edge of Lake Okeechobee, and the guests he receives are either tourists or people who come to fish, since Hong Tao has won the first place in the first day of the competition, then he plans to invest a small amount of money in Hong Tao.
If Hong Tao made it to the top 10 in the preliminaries two days ago and was able to go to the finals in the next two days, then he would have earned. Compared to other professional anglers who can make it to the finals, Hong Tao's free meals are simply too cheap, and he can attract many fishing enthusiasts as soon as he hangs a photo of Hong Tao eating in their restaurant.
If Hong Tao didn't enter the finals in the end, then he would have lost a few meals at most, and he could still bear this loss. Of course, this foreman probably didn't dare to think about whether Hong Tao would win the championship of the sub-station in the end, and after 3 days, the foreman was probably able to roll on the ground with laughter, and he invited the right person for these meals.
Of course, Hong Tao didn't think about it that much at the time, mainly because he didn't know much about Americans, especially American businessmen, these people do business very well, but within the scope of the rules, they can play all kinds of tricks that you can't imagine.
Although it is a fast food, the rice is also a grain, which is not the same as domestic rice, but Hong Tao still eats very fragrant, and cleans the half of the box of meals that Erin eats, no wonder Erin keeps saying that he is a pig.
Originally, Hong Tao wanted to squint a little in the driver's seat for a while, if he ate too much at lunch, the blood of the human body would concentrate in the stomach to help digest food, and the brain would be a little sleepy if he was a little deprived of oxygen. But as soon as he closed his eyes, and before he could catch his breath, there was the sound of a motor in the distance, and a speedboat was cleaving the waves.
"Are your American hosts so dedicated?" Hong Tao saw clearly from afar that it was a broadcast ship, and had to cancel the attempt to take a nap, he felt that if he took a nap in the game and was broadcast on TV, it seemed that he was not very respectful to the other contestants, and the necessary politeness was still necessary, but the complaints in his mouth were indispensable.
"It's their job, long live understanding!" Erin was also lying on Hong Tao's lap and planning to marry a chicken, but now that the broadcast ship is coming, she has to sit up and use this sentence she learned from China by the way.
"Hello, Mr. Hong, how was your harvest today? I've been running around all morning, just to make more time to give you more shots, and if you can let the audience see that you have a better catch, that's the best. The broadcast boat slowly stopped not far from the Hongtao fishing boat, and the host was still on board, and the commentator did not change.
"It's about the same as yesterday, I can't guarantee your request, I can only do my best." Hong Tao grinned at the host, if it weren't for the fact that there was a camera pointed at him, Hong Tao wouldn't want to pay attention to him, it would be very inhumane to disturb others to sleep.
"Beautiful lady, you also picked up the fishing rod today? This really surprised me, can you show me what you learned? There are definitely plenty of female anglers in front of the TV waiting for you to do a great job. The host probably sensed that Hong Tao's mood was not too high, so he changed the interview subject to Erin's side.
"I have more catches than my husband, I have caught 5 fish, all in the tank, do you want to come and have a look?" As soon as Erin saw the camera facing her, she immediately showed a bright smile on her face, her back molars came out happily, her chest was tall, and she warmly invited the host and videographer to take a picture of her catch.
"Of course I want to, but I'm afraid that it will affect your performance, so let's ask Mr. Hong what he means...... "The host is really good at talking, and he has obviously begun to lean the broadcast ship this way, but he is very embarrassed to say it in his mouth.
"It's okay, we just finished lunch, we wanted to take a break, and even if you don't come, we won't start fishing right away." Hong Tao looked at Erin's big eyes full of expectation, even if he didn't want to, he had to pretend to be very welcome, women love to be in the limelight, and his own women are no exception, so she must be satisfied.
