Hong Tao is not disgusted with these people, they are not like those ospreys who have intentions for themselves, these people just like to fish and have no place to go fishing, and they can't sit still at home, so they came to Hong Tao to get together and Kan Dashan, as for drinking tea or something in the store, Hong Tao doesn't care at all, if you open the door to do business, even this little money is calculated, then if you don't become the richest man in the world, how wrong.

The business of fishing tackle shops in winter is not very good, most of the anglers except for some people who like winter fishing, have begun to shrink at home cat winter, while there is nothing to do to take out the fishing rod to wipe it, while looking forward to the spring to come. However, Hong Tao did not close the fishing tackle shop because of bad business, he still came to the fishing tackle shop every day to sit in the meeting, chat with fishing friends to enhance the relationship, and then when there was nothing to do, Wang Jian ran to the officials or big factories to walk around, we can't see if we don't buy it, in this regard, fishing people and women who like to go to shopping malls have a fight.

Towards the end of the year, Hong Tao arrived at a postcard sent from the United States, don't ask, this is sent by Sister Irene, it is just a few ordinary greetings, and wish Hong Tao a Merry Christmas, and then said that he and Katie very much hope to go to China to find Hong Tao during the winter vacation, but they did not get Sam's consent, so there is no ticket money, and they can only spend the winter vacation with their grandfather in the United States, etc., but there is a special word at the end of the line, e-mail.

Hong Tao turned on the computer and entered his mailbox, because he had not cleaned it for a long time, the mailbox was filled with all kinds of emails, 99% of which were advertisements. In the third line, Hong Tao found the email that Erin wrote to him, and after opening it, there was only one sentence: Xie Lu, thank you for your help, we won. Then there are 3 more attachments to download.

After more than 10 minutes of slow downloading, the attachment was finally downloaded, these are 3 picture files, Hong Tao didn't need to open it to guess what it was, this is probably the nude photos he and Sister Erin took! Looking at the appearance of the sisters in the picture, Hong Tao remembered the happy week again, and finally sighed:

"Alas, I still have to save money, I can go to the United States to see you if you can't come!"

Winter in Beijing is very boring, the northwest wind blows from dawn to dark all day, and the green branches of the trees in the past have all turned into bare forks, and there is no life in sight. Fishing friends come less, no one wants to go out against the wind to play nonsense, only those who are not afraid of the cold of the real warriors, can have a laughing back fishing tackle, a few people get together a car, began to run to some reservoirs in the northern suburbs of Beijing, where because it is a mountainous area, the temperature can be more than 10 degrees lower than the city, so ice fishing generally starts from the north.

Wang Jian is an idle person, just after the New Year, he drove the Cherokee to find Hong Tao, crying and shouting that he had to learn from others to go ice fishing, and he also put all the guys in place, just waiting to find a companion to set off. Ice fishing Hong Tao played, but not much play, because he is afraid of the cold, even if he wears the same as a bear, it is cold after staying on the ice for a long time, if you catch up with the wind is relatively strong, blowing on the face and the same as a knife, it is very uncomfortable.

When he thought of the uncomfortable wind of ice fishing, Hong Tao suddenly remembered something in the later life: ice fishing tents. Everyone should have seen the tent, which is the kind of thing that can be stored in the wild camping, divided into single-layer and double-layer tents. The ice fishing tent is not much different from the ordinary single-layer tent, and it is also a nylon cloth supported by several support rods, but the ice fishing tent generally does not have a bottom, or an arc-shaped stretch at the bottom, and the stretch is pulled away when used, and the ice surface is exposed, so that you can sit in the tent and fish, and you don't have to endure the northwest wind in winter.

"Do you have a tent?"

"Yes...... What are you doing with a tent on this day? Wang Jian was puzzled.

"Do you have it in the car?" Hong Tao asked.

"Maybe it's here, it should be in the sorting box, I'll take a look." Although Wang Jian was puzzled, he still went to the car to rummage.

"Look, if we cut a piece of the bottom of this tent, we will be able to sit in the tent and ice fish, so that we will not be afraid of the wind." Hong Tao and Wang Jian set up the tent in the backyard, Hong Tao tried the height of the tent, but fortunately, Wang Jian's tent was high enough.

"You mean put your tent on ice? Don't say it, this is kind of interesting, it won't cover the ice, right? Wang Jian understood what Hong Tao meant, but he was a little worried.

"We both stripped naked and lay on the ice, and in the end we both froze to death, and we will definitely not melt the ice, so you only have a few taels of hot gas." How's it going, is this tent worth it? ”

"What's so reluctant about this, take the scissors and open the scissors!" Wang Jian doesn't feel sorry for this tent, as long as he can have a good time, he is not afraid to spend money.

"Hey, hey...... Don't do it, do you have a skill? Where is there a shoe repairer on the Silver Ingot Bridge, where to send him, let him smash a zipper again, he can pull it when he doesn't use it, and he can make do with it in the summer, right? Hong Tao stopped Wang Jian, who was about to do it after taking scissors from under the counter.

"Yes, your brain is mature, and it's full of ideas." Wang Jian stretched out his thumb to express his admiration, and then personally hugged the tent to refit it.

Jinhai Lake is located in Pinggu County, the easternmost part of Beijing, about 80 kilometers away from the city. It is said to be a lake, but in fact it is a reservoir, the area is not small, there can be tens of thousands of acres of water surface, it is the third largest reservoir in Beijing, second only to Miyun Reservoir and Huairou Reservoir. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are many scenic spots to visit, such as the Grand Canyon, the Great Cave, etc., in summer, there are motorboats, paragliding and other projects on the water here, but this is all a later story, there is nothing here at present, and it has not been developed.

At this time, Hong Tao was standing on the ice near the northeast corner of Jinhai Lake with Wang Jian and Gao Fatzi, Hong Tao was holding an ice hammer and chiseling on the ice, Wang Jian was holding an ice drill and waiting to drill the ice hole, and Gao Fatzi was alone with a suede hat like a mountain carving to tidy up the tent alone.

That day, Wang Jian returned to the fishing tackle shop after renovating the tent, and happened to meet Gao Fatzi coming over to chat, so they showed Gao Fatman Hongtao's new invention ice sculpture tent together. Gao Fatzi also ice fishes in winter, and when he heard that Hong Tao and Wang Jian were going to prepare for the ice, he immediately volunteered to go with the two of them, so the three of them decided to wait until Saturday to set off together.

About where to go ice fishing, the three of them also had a little dispute, Gao Fatzi suggested going to Shangzhuang Reservoir, he goes every year, and is more familiar; Wang Jian wanted to go to the Guanting Reservoir, and he said that someone told him where the big crucian carp came out; Hong Tao was not interested in the place they mentioned, because he knew the history of the rise and fall of almost all the reservoirs in Beijing, and although Shangzhuang and Guanting had not yet decayed to the point of having no fish to catch, if they wanted to catch a good fish, they had to choose a place with few people to fish.

Hong Tao chose Jinhai Lake, there are not many people fishing here, and the crucian carp here is very large, Hong Tao can be sure. But he couldn't tell the truth to Gao Fatzi and Wang Jian, he could only stubbornly insist on his own opinions. The three of them couldn't convince anyone at a glance, so they stopped arguing, this is not giving up and compromise, the three of them avoided controversy by drawing lots, Hong Tao had a good life, and caught the right to decide, so they killed here.

"You drill this first, and I'll help Brother Gao get the tent up." Hong Tao dug three small holes in the ice in a row, and then threw the ice hammer to help the tall fat man set up a tent.

After more than half an hour of hard work, all the six bowl-sized ice caves have been drilled, and the tents have been erected, sitting upright on the ice caves, and the openings at the bottom of the tents just leak out the ice caves. People sitting in tents fishing, they don't feel the northwest wind outside at all, and it seems much warmer. The only drawback is that the tent is a bit small, and the 3 people who got into it are a little crowded, but the 3 people are already very satisfied, don't you see that the other ice anglers on the ice are bending their necks and rubbing their hands to resist the cold wind, be content.

3 people and two Xiaoice fishing rods, using live earthworms as bait, chatting, drinking hot tea, while shaking the fishing rod in their hands from time to time, so that the bait on the hook moves slightly in the water, which can attract the attention of small fish.
