After fishing for about 1 hour, Gao Fatzi and Wang Jian got 2 and 1 big crucian carp respectively, which were really not small, enough for more than half a catty, but Hong Tao didn't catch a single fish. This is mainly related to Hong Tao's reluctance to change earthworms frequently, earthworms, a belly of mud, a change of bait to get a finger of sticky things, so Hong Tao is too lazy to change. But seeing that both of them were on the fish, but there were more small words in their mouths, Hong Tao decided to try the kind of special bait he brought didn't work in winter.

Seeing Hong Tao take out the bait basin, the tall fat man and Wang Jian laughed, and accused Hong Tao of being in a hurry, and if he didn't catch fish, he would start playing evil, how could he use vegetarian fishing for winter fishing. But Hong Tao ignored the ridicule of the two of them, and opened half a bag of bait by himself, of course, the old formula is efficient.

After opening the bait, he didn't even wake up, so he pinched a small piece of the hook and threw it into the water, and at the same time put the other rod up and replaced it with a new bait.

"I said, 'Can you fish here?' I've got all three. Hey, this big crucian carp, it's quite strong. The tall fat man looked at where Hong Tao was busy working, and he was very sarcastic and squeezed.

"Your earthworm has been in the water for too long, so you have to take it up and change it to a fresh one, you are a rotten trough, and you can't do it if you throw it inside." Wang Jian also expressed his own opinions.

"I'm willing, let's say okay first, whoever catches the least will have dinner, it's 1 o'clock now, and the rod will be closed at 4 o'clock, and you are not allowed to cheat." Hong Tao was still hard-mouthed, not because he was confident in his bait, but just to scare the two guys who got carried away.

"Cheng, we won't bully you, from now on, the fish we caught just now don't count." The tall fat man was the first to respond.

"If you want to invite us to dinner, you can just say it, it hurts your feelings to engage in this kind of little trick, right, Brother Gao." Wang Jian wilted even more.

After fishing for another half an hour, I don't know if the new bait changed by Hong Tao worked or the feng shui turned to his side, the first one to fish was actually Hong Tao, and a crucian carp of more than half a catty was honestly raised out of the ice cave. After more than ten minutes, another large crucian carp was caught by Hong Tao.

This is Gao Fat Man and Wang Jian a little unable to sit still, Gao Fat Man is the oldest, he is embarrassed to ask Hong Tao for bait, and he still insists on fishing with earthworms, and Wang Jian doesn't care about that, what kind of face is not faceless, the most important thing is to fish, but he is the life of a wall grass, actually a pole with earthworms, and a pole with pellet bait, which makes Gao Fatman and Hong Tao despise him together.

Fishing until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Hong Tao caught 7 crucian carp, Gao Fat caught 3, Wang Jian did not catch any of them. The cruel truth made him have to abandon the tall fat man, and also use Hong Tao's bait to start fishing, not to mention, not long after changing the bait, he got a big crucian carp.

"Let me tell you, your little tent is really good, it is windproof and not light-blocking." Just as Wang Jian was about to catch up and wash away his shame, a voice sounded outside the tent, and a man in his 50s was standing outside the tent, looking left and right.

"Yo, you come in and sit down, I'll go out to breathe, the place inside is a little small, it's too stuffy." Wang Jian, who felt that there was no hope of winning, looked at the person, threw down the fishing rod and drilled out.

"Then I'm interrupted." The old man lowered his head and got into the tent, looked carefully at the furnishings in the tent, and appreciated the opening at the bottom of the tent to expose the ice hole for fishing.

"Are you fishing with vegetarian bait?" While chatting, Hong Tao caught another crucian carp, and when he reloaded the bait, the old man found the bait he used.

"Oh, it's very easy to use, faster than an earthworm." Hong Tao said casually.

"No, winter fishing uses live bait, it's not easy to fish, can you use vegetarian bait?" The old man was a little unconvinced.

"Hey, it's the first time I've seen fishing with vegetarian bait today, don't say, there are more earthworms than I use, no, most of them are caught by him, and his bait is his own bait, which is very useful in summer, but I didn't expect it to work in winter." The tall fat man said on the side.

"Can you show me?" The old man was curious.

"That's it." Hong Tao handed over the remaining half bag of bait.

“…… Isn't this granular powder? The old man took it, and also put it under his nose and smelled it, then pinched it with his fingers and rubbed it, and then put a little bit in his mouth and tasted it.

"Hey, the first time I used it, I also felt this way, but I couldn't accept it, on the other side of the Houhai and West Seas, most of the fishermen knew that the bait he sold was guaranteed to catch the fish, and the money would be refunded if the fish was not caught." The tall fat man seized the opportunity to help Hong Tao sit in the advertisement.

"You still sell bait? How do you sell this? The old man was a little interested, because Hong Tao's hook was fishing again.

"I opened a fishing tackle shop on the north shore of Houhai, called Cai Scale, this package is 50 yuan." Hong Tao replied while picking fish.

"Houhai, I went to Zhilu Road, this price is high enough, more expensive than things in small Japan."

"Little Japan's bait doesn't dare to wrap the fish, no, I'll wrap you on the fish." Hong Tao patted his chest and promised.

"Nacheng, I'll go over and take a look at the spring, you play, I'll go back first." The old man smiled and got out of the tent, and walked to a group of people in the distance, the group of people were fishing on the ice when they came, there were about 7 or 8 people, it is estimated that the old man was also among them, and he ran over to see the ice fishing with the tent fresh.

"I said Wang Jian, you are cheating, I have to treat you at night." Seeing that the old man was gone, the tall fat man said to Wang Jian, who came in.

"Cut, it's hard to say, I was about to connect the rod just now, this is no longer coming, I just went out, you can invite a treat, but I didn't lose." This is a typical old thief who fell into the meat pot: the meat is rotten and the mouth is not rotten!

Although Wang Jian didn't admit to losing, but the dinner in the evening still had to be invited, the three of them returned to the store, pulled up the store's Gao Ming, and went to Dongzhimen Nei Street together, which is the famous Beijing restaurant street in the later generations, Gui Street. However, at this time, Gui Street has not been rebuilt, and both sides of the road are still the faces of small bungalows converted into doors, and the streets are not as wide as they are now, but they are more warm.

The four of them found a restaurant that mainly boiled fish, asked for a grass carp and a few side dishes, opened a bottle of Red Star Royal Wine, and then began to eat, drink, and chat. Of course, Gao Ming is still young, don't learn to drink if you learn to smoke, get a cup of apple juice or something, and there is no provision for drunk driving to be detained this year, so even if Wang Jian is driving, he will drink correctly.

For anglers, before going to the fishing ground is looking forward to, when arriving at the fishing ground is the battle, after leaving the fishing ground you have to summarize, usually the last step is still very critical, play for a day, everyone sit together lively, and then drink two glasses. The people who originally knew were more familiar, the people who were originally familiar with them became more familiar, and the people who didn't know each other would also enhance their understanding at the wine table, so the more the wine was drunk, the thicker the cards, the thinner the cards.

"This place Xiaohong is looking for is really good, there are few people but there are many fish, I caught a crucian carp almost 1 and a half, it is so wide, I almost got stuck in the ice cave and couldn't get out." After three cycles of wine and five flavors of food, the tall and fat man stopped his chopsticks and smoked a circle.

"Play twice before the Spring Festival, this time you don't need to bring earthworms, just take Hongtao's fish food, save trouble." Wang Jian is obviously a bit addicted to ice fishing as well, and this time he just finished his work and began to plan for the next time.

"If you want to have a good time, go to the store that sells outdoor products and buy a gas stove, the kind that burns methane gas, and buy a few cans of methane gas to take with you, so that we can not only drink hot tea, but also cook instant noodles and so on. In addition, is there an old carpet in Brother Gao's unit, cut a piece and take it with you, so that we don't have so cold feet when we sit on the ice. Although Hong Tao is the youngest, he knows the most about this kind of outdoor daily necessities, mainly because in later life, he often went fishing with his fishing friends in a distance, and brought much more equipment than this.

"Cheng, don't look for it Brother Gao, we have an old carpet at home, or pure wool, let me smoke and burn a hole, and it is useless to throw it on the balcony, just use it, you said that the gas stove I heard of for the first time, is it similar to the stove of mutton shabu?" Wang Jian agreed, but he still didn't know what kind of gas stove it was.
