Chapter 220: Long Farewell
Carefully poured the fish scales out of the bottle, Hong Tao gently touched it like a lover, the feel was still the same, and put it under the nose and smelled it, there was no smell, it seems that there should be no deterioration, and it is time to try its special effect and not shine.
After fiddling with the fish scales, the sun was already hanging high overhead, Hong Tao's house could not fire for the time being, and if he wanted to eat, he had to go out to eat.
Originally, there were a few small restaurants outside the mouth of Hong Tao's alley, although it was not a good restaurant, but it was still satisfying to eat well. However, Hong Tao turned back and forth 2 times at the mouth of the alley, but still did not find a place to feed his stomach. Those restaurants have not opened, it seems that the power of SARS is still quite great, not only foreign tourists dare not come, but restaurants like these outsiders have also been abandoned, compared with life, most people have given up this little money.
Originally, Hong Tao planned to take a day off first, and then go to the fishing tackle shop tomorrow to have a look, and by the way, he informed Gao Fatzi and Wang Jian that they were back, but now they can't even eat, and if they want to eat, they have to go to find a bigger restaurant near the Drum Tower, so Hong Tao changed his original intention, went home and locked the door, changed the original phone and calling card, and walked to the back sea.
When he changed the phone card, he suddenly remembered a very important question, he hadn't given Old Gail and them safety, just thinking about the broad-minded flight attendant at Shanghai Airport, and when he returned home, he teased Sam for a long time, and then forgot this important thing, it is estimated that Old Gail They are still worried about whether they will return to China, sometimes Hong Tao himself is tired of himself, this brain is really out of tune.
Although he made self-criticism, Hong Tao did not overkill, he just sent a text message to Liu Xiaomei's mobile phone, and probably reported that he was safe. Why do you just want to send a text message to Liu Xiaomei's mobile phone? The reason is simple, although old Gail has a mobile phone, he often does not charge it. I don't know when it's open and when it's not. Although Boss Liu also has a mobile phone, although the eyes of people of that age are not bad, it is a bit difficult to read text messages, and Boss Liu's mobile phone is often turned off.
In the end, only Liu Xiaomei's mobile phone was left, as a rich girl who keeps up with the trend of the times, Liu Xiaomei has two mobile phones alone, so the text message can be read for the first time, Hong Tao feels that on this issue, Liu Xiaomei has a bad personality. will not mess around willfully, after all, Hong Tao is not only alone in that photo, but their father and daughter can't run.
At this time, the Houhai beach is more quiet, except for a few uncles and aunts who are walking, there are almost no pedestrians. The ice on the surface of the lake has not yet melted, but the part near the shore is gone, and there are subtle changes in the rows of large poplar trees, and small bumps are beginning to appear on the branches of the trees that were originally bare. That's the young shoots of poplars, another month. These poplars, together with the willows, keep sending out white hair, and from that moment on, the fishing season is really coming.
Far away. Hong Tao saw a few cars parked in front of the colorful scale fishing tackle shop, because the location of the fishing tackle shop was retracted, so he didn't get closer, and he couldn't see the face of the fishing tackle shop. You can only see the empty space in front of the door.
After walking dozens of meters, he finally came to the door of the fishing tackle shop, and Hong Tao blocked his figure behind a van. Look inside. He hadn't been here for months, and he wanted to see the situation in the shop first, although he had made two phone calls during this period, and he was not completely unclear about the situation of the fishing tackle shop, but he was relieved to see it with his own eyes.
There are a lot of people in the fishing tackle shop, where is the sofa around, some of Hong Tao knows, they are all old customers in the past, and there are a few people who have seen and faced, and it is estimated that they are customers who have only come to patronize in the past few months. There was Gao Ming standing alone in the counter inside, I hadn't seen him for a few months, this original trickster had become a very stable young man, he was lying on the counter at this time and didn't know what to fiddle with, and he couldn't see it from too far away.
"Oh, let's see who's back!"
"Gao Ming, don't get that broken hook of yours, your boss is back."
"I said Hong Tao, you are too unrighteous, we big guys can't go out at home, you went abroad to play alone, I heard that you even went fishing!"
Hong Tao was like an ordinary customer, pushed open the door and walked into the store, at first those who were chatting didn't pay much attention to the people who came in from the door, they thought they were here to buy something, so naturally there was a smart greeting. However, a few people looked up and looked at this side, and then froze, and reacted for a few seconds, and the room immediately became lively, many people knew Hong Tao, and all kinds of greetings came out, some greeted and some laughed and scolded......
"Boss, why did you come back all of a sudden? Didn't make a phone call either? It's not going to be a surprise attack, it's going to check on my work. Gao Ming heard someone call Hong Tao's name, and also ran out of the counter, and greeted Hong Tao with a smile, at this time Hong Tao had been pressed on the sofa by several acquaintances, and everyone began to ask Hong Tao about the experience of this trip abroad, and the most interested thing was fishing abroad.
"What's the matter, I'm not allowed to check it, what are you holding in your hand, show me...... Oops, they're all hooked! This craft is not bad, Cheng, count your hard work, don't forget to charge them for the hook money, a pair of 1 yuan, you keep 5 cents, I collect 5 cents. Hong Tao took the unfinished pair of fish hooks from Gao Ming's hand, looked at it carefully, and made an evaluation.
"Gao Ming, do you see it, it's still your boss who is black, or if he is the boss, you will be stupid every day to tie hooks to others, don't say anything, and some people complain that you don't tie it well." An old customer next to him heard Hong Tao's words, immediately agreed, in fact, everyone knows that Hong Tao is talking about playing, the general fishing tackle shop will help customers tie fish hooks, most of them do not charge money, and even some old customers buy fish hooks from other places, will also run to their trusted fishing tackle shop to tie, which is also a kind of service.
"Nacheng, I tied 20 pairs to you yesterday, you give me the money first, anyway, the hook is still here with me, don't give the money and don't let it be taken away, right, boss." Gao Ming and these people have been messing around for a while, and his mouth and brain have been exercised, and he didn't even knock on it, so Xiao Hua'er immediately sent it back.
"Hey, you little bastard, you dare to bare your teeth with your uncle, and it's not the time to beg me to teach you how to help hooks! You have a long eyesight, hurry up and make tea. "That old fishing friend is not good at stubble, even scolded and scared Gao Ming away, in the fishermen, the generation is not so strict, the young man in his 20s and the uncle in his 50s are still teasing, the more this is the hotter it is.
Hong Tao originally wanted to look at the business situation in the store in the past few months, and then see how much of the bait survived, and by the way contacted Gao Fatzi, Wang Jian and Yang Ke, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by these fishing friends as soon as he entered the door. The most hateful thing is that some fishing friends come late, and they have to ask again when they catch Hong Tao, in the face of these enthusiastic guys, Hong Tao can't hurt people's face, so he has to take the trouble to talk about the car and talk about the things that everyone is interested in over and over again, and even he thinks he is poor.
"Hong Tao...... Hong Tao, didn't you say you would come back next month? How in advance! What about the NB gift you brought me? The door was opened again, and before the man could enter the house, he heard the loud voice of the tall fat man.
"Hahaha, Brother Gao, you're too snobbish, don't ask me how it is, ask for your gift first." Hong Tao habitually stood up to hug the tall fat man.
"Stop...... Stop, this has just been out of the country for a few days, where did you learn the foreign problem, you hug and hug at every turn, you don't dislike me, I still dislike you, while going, what do you have to ask, can't it be over if you can come back alive. The tall fat man knocked out Hong Tao's outstretched hand and stopped Hong Tao's movements. (To be continued......)
