The three of them were talking and making trouble in the car, but they diluted the crowding and stuffiness on their bodies, and finally survived to the door of Fucheng, and finally completed this journey that tested people's patience. However, after a close contact in the car, Erin's two sisters became more casual towards Hong Tao, not only Katie still put her hand in Hong Tao's waistband, but even Erin walked with his arm on her shoulder from time to time.

The place where Hong Tao wants to take them this time is called "Providence Small Commodities Wholesale Market", located not far from Fucheng Gate, which is the largest small commodity wholesale distribution center in Beijing at that time, there are thousands of stalls, basically the goods you can think of are sold here, and the goods you can't think of are also sold, the most important thing is that the prices of these goods are much cheaper than those in other shopping malls, and they can bargain.

Of course, the cheap ones are definitely not big-name goods, most of them are copycats produced by small factories across the country, but these things are cheap and practical, and they are more in line with the consumption level of ordinary people, so the business is very good. The reason why I brought the Irene sisters here is mainly to let them see if there is anything they need to buy, and Hong Tao prefers to visit here than to go to those high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade shopping malls.

But this liking is relative, only walked for 15 minutes, Hong Tao didn't like it, how these two American girls are the same as his daughter-in-law in later life, they can't walk when they see the counter, whether they buy it or not, they pull and pull the goods one by one, and then ask the price, and the one who asks is called a detailed ah, when the boss introduced it to foam at the mouth, they said they didn't buy it.

Hong Tao doesn't pity the bosses who sell goods, but it's really bad to follow them, buy something so ink, if you go around at this rate, let alone a day, you may not be able to go around these floors in a week. But Hong Tao still resisted the idea of forcibly interrupting their behavior, after all, after living for so many decades, people still understand the world, many female comrades have no intention of buying things at all, picking and choosing, and bargaining with the boss, in their opinion, it is a very enjoyable entertainment.

After thinking about it N times, Hong Tao finally convinced himself, and then willingly followed Sister Erin as a full companion. Not only do they have to help bargain, but they also have to help check that these bosses don't let these bosses slaughter foreign friends, and then they have to make pertinent compliments on the goods that the sisters really want to buy at the right time by observing words and feelings.

Originally, according to the plan to draw the heavenly will of the market activity time only before lunch, but in order to linger here for a while, the sisters have already put the word Lai Pi Lai face on their faces, when they heard that they had to leave after lunch, the sisters were only stunned for 3 seconds, and then said in unison: Not hungry!

This trick Hong Tao is really right, people really didn't violate the agreement, leave after lunch, but people just don't eat lunch, so they don't have to leave. In the end, Hong Tao surrendered, promising them to continue walking here after lunch, but the sisters looked at him with great contempt, and said in unison: "Don't be hungry!"

You're not hungry, but I'm hungry! Hong Tao's begging was ignored at all, and he endured for another 4 hours with a deflated stomach, and at 5 o'clock in the evening, Erin and Katie finally moved the jade foot out of the threshold of the market, not because they had enough shopping, but because the market should be closed, and it will not be possible to leave.

Carrying a lot of rags, it is definitely unreliable to take the bus back, so take a taxi. When Hong Tao sat in the taxi, the feeling of his legs suddenly being relaxed was so refreshing, so cool that he hummed. The Irene sisters were not tired at all, and were still chattering and laughing in the back seat, and from time to time they pulled out a broken knack from a large bag to evaluate each other, as if they had just come out of the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

"Buying so many things? Russian? When the elder brother heard Hong Tao's mouthful of Beijing films, he immediately judged that Hong Tao was a position similar to that of a tour guide, and asked.

"American, you say that the standard of living in the United States is not very good, and it can be happy to be like this by God's will, no wonder they are all living in dire straits." Hong Tao lit a cigarette, gave another one to his brother, and began to hit the two sisters behind him with words.

"Hey, we don't know if they're in dire straits, anyway, I'm not staying on the shore, I'm in my 50s, and I have to come out to earn my life, my son is going to get married, I have to buy a house, right? We can't sleep on the street! The elder brother opened his mouth, full of complaints.

"Yes, they should be allowed to earn it themselves, and if they earn more, they will steal fun, and if they earn less, don't come back to eat their hometown." Hong Tao has no good feelings for this kind of marriage and has to rely on his parents, raising him to the age of 18 to fulfill his obligations, and the rest of them will run by themselves, but in reality, most people still have to come back to gnaw on the old, and the habits of the Chinese are too bad in this regard.

"Alas, whose child doesn't hurt, if you don't have a house, you don't have a daughter-in-law, you can't watch him beat a bachelor." The old brother in his 50s sighed fiercely.

Chat between the back seat and the back seat, chat between the front seat and the front seat, although there are some traffic jams, but the old brother is from the alley string at a glance, all kinds of small roads and alleys are so drilled, avoid those road sections that love to block, and stop at the door of the alley of Hong Tao's house after a while. Helping the sisters to carry the big bag and small bag to the yard, Hong Tao just shook it off, threw down the bag and went back to the house, didn't eat, didn't take a bath, turned on the air conditioner and lay down on the sofa and didn't get up, both legs were almost not their own, the soles of the feet hurt, and they had to grind out a few big bubbles at the very least!

That night, Hong Tao didn't even eat dinner, he vaguely remembered that someone came to call him for dinner, and then he thought that it was more than 9 o'clock the next morning. Lifting the towel quilt, Hong Tao found that he was still sleeping on the sofa, he was so tired yesterday, this sleep was called a fragrant ah, fortunately he was young, no matter how tired he was, he could be relieved by sleeping, and his waist was not sore, and his legs did not hurt.

At this time, Hong Tao remembered that the Erin sisters, according to the original plan, they should go to the vegetable market today, so they quickly took a shower, changed their clothes, pushed open the door and shouted into the yard, but shouted a few times, there was no movement in Sam's house, Hong Tao went over to take a look, General Tie guarded the door, and Sam's family didn't know where the road went.

Without the ties, Hong Tao is more relaxed, he plans to take the bait and try it in other waters, although the possibility of the bait failing in other waters is very small, but for the sake of insurance, it is better to see it with his own eyes. The three waters of Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai are connected, so there is no need to go to Qianhai and Xihai to test it, in addition to these three seas, the closest to Hong Tao's home is Qingnian Lake Park.

Qingnian Lake Park is a small park, built after the liberation, and most of its area is an artificial lake, unlike other parks in Beijing, where you can use both boating and fishing, and it is a body of water frequented by nearby fishing enthusiasts.

Because it was a test test, Hong Tao only brought 2 fishing rods, and did not look for those places where there were more fish, so he found a shore with few people not far from the south gate of the park, and then hung different baits and threw them into the water. In later generations, Hong Tao had fished here for several years, until after the end of SARS, fishing was prohibited on the water surface here, according to Hong Tao's understanding, the fish in this lake are still quite rich, although the area is not as large as the back sea, but the size of the fish is not inferior at all.

Before a cigarette was finished, the fishing rod on the left began to nod violently, Hong Tao picked up the pole and shook the fishing wheel while proud, it seems that this bait is not limited by the water, according to the type of bait, this should be a carp. Sure enough, a few minutes later, a carp weighing more than 5 catties was caught, but Hong Tao did not get the fish ashore, but leaned down in the water to pick off the hook, he was afraid that his old fish here would attract the attention of the surrounding fishing friends.

Replaced with a bait that dropped the crucian carp, Hong Tao threw the rod down again, a few minutes later, the pole moved again, and from the action of the fishing line, it is obvious that it is a crucian carp, because after the crucian carp is hung by the hook, in many cases it is not to swim to the center of the lake, but to swim to the shore after a few struggles, this action is reflected on the pole is a few points on the tip of the rod, and then the fishing line is loosened, which is called in fishing terminology: return line.
