Chapter 20: The Best Bait
At the beginning of the great cold, the weather was cold, and the water in the tank formed a thin layer of ice, and it broke with a creak.
In previous years, after the big cold, the New Year is approaching, and every household will prepare a few pieces of bacon to buy some New Year's goods.
The fish in winter are plump, and there are more fishing boats on the Changshui River to cast nets and catch a lot.
Daddy Wang took four pillars to fish by the river, and there were many people who came out to fish like their family.
Each person occupies a shore entrance, and the line is thrown far away, and a fishing basket or net bag is placed next to it.
Unlike others, no matter where the people of the Wang family fish, the fish are very good.
"Look at the ones on the other side, they have caught several of them, and my float is not moving, and this fish mouth is too bad."
A few anglers couldn't stand it anymore, put their fishing rods on wooden supports, and walked to Daddy Wang's side to watch.
I saw that Daddy Wang's hook was out of the water, and the paulownia disappeared and quickly sank into the water, and the fishing rod bent sharply.
I really want to get my hands on it, and the pulling feeling must be very comfortable, and the hands of people who look at it are itchy.
"This uncle, what bait do you use, this fish is just like you."
The young man had long since discovered that the uncle had a red lump like mud, and every time he took the bait, he would take a little and hang it on it.
There are not a few people fishing in the Changshui River, and the uncle's family seems to have fish as if they are their own family.
"A unique secret recipe, if you want it, spend money to buy a nail cover, to ensure that you pull it softly."
This is the purpose of Daddy Wang, the bait that Fu Bao gave him has magical power, and the fish in the river rush to grab food.
"How much does a nail cover cost?"
Father Wang raised two fingers: "Twenty Wen, not a cent less." ”
People who came were shocked, twenty wen could buy ten white-flour steamed buns, and it cost so much money for the big nails.
Some people are shy in their pockets, some people are bargaining, and some people are lively.
Of course, there was also the first person to eat crabs, a young man dressed in white and brocade, who was very curious about red bait.
"Go and see how amazing the bait that the young man bought."
Several people put their hands behind their backs, their eyes fixed on the bait in the young man's hands.
Lu Shangqin sniffed the bait and almost spit it out, the smell was too fishy, what was it made of.
He was a little disgusted with the red thing, and resisted the urge to put his hand under his nose, but he still couldn't control his hand, so he smelled it again, and he didn't believe it really stinked.
"I'm taking the bait, and I'm in a hurry."
A few middle-aged uncles on the side couldn't stand it anymore, he was anxious to see the effect, and he was grinding.
As soon as the bait entered the water, the fish flew to grab food, and the rod in his hand trembled violently, bending out of shape, and he was afraid that it would break if he went down again.
"Loosen up, it's a big fish, walk it! Take it for a walk! ”
The veteran knew the size of the fish as soon as he saw the extent of the rod, but fortunately the young man was a rich man at first glance, and the quality of the rod was also quacked.
The fishing rod in Lu Shangqin's hand is made of bamboo, with excellent toughness, tall, long tube, and thick leaves, which is the best material for making fishing rods, and the most important thing is that the fishing line is crystal clear, like silk, full of tenacity.
Lu Shangqin thought that he could pull it up, but the force in the water was very strong, and every muscle in his body was exerting force.
After a while, there was a crisp sound of the fishing rod, and the people around me were breathing nervously, and no one dared to pull the rod, and the rod would be broken if the strength was great.
The fish in the water also showed their bodies, their backs were gray, their bellies were white, and they were shining silver.
"It's a grass carp! What a big one! ”
"You walk it slowly, this fish is so energetic, you can pull it up until you are exhausted."
It was an experienced fisherman who spoke and knew all kinds of fish inside out.
Lu Shangqin's arms were sore, this fish was really difficult to get.
Some people have long been eager to get started, helping to walk the fish, and they are very happy.
There were bursts of cheers, which caused many onlookers to watch, and they all said that the luck was really good, and this fish cost at least a dozen catties.
After walking for a long time, the fish did not unhook, and slowly pulled to the shore in the direction of swimming.
After fishing for so long, it's rare to see anyone catch such a big fish! Good luck boy.
The fish in the net was dragged ashore, and someone brought the fish out, and it was the length of a man's arm, extremely fat, and his tail still wadding.
Suddenly, a struggle fell to the ground, so scared that everyone held it down, and if it fell into the water, they would slap themselves twice.
"This thing is really good, buy it and try it."
"What's good?"
"Don't you know, there's an old man over there who sells bait, and his bait is so magical, as long as you use this bait the fish is like a starving ghost reincarnated, thrown into the water, but a few breaths will bite the hook."
"Is it really that powerful?"
Daddy Wang was surrounded by people, some asked if he could take credit, and his hands were itching.
Father Wang shook his head, resolutely not on credit, if there is one credit, there will be a second.
Some couldn't help it for a long time, and a few people cobbled together a nail cover, and several people shared it.
The four men of the Wang family stopped fishing, helped distribute the bait, and paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.
After a while, the bait will be cleaned, and the copper plate will be hundreds of words.
Everyone who gets the bait has a catch, or carp, grass carp, crucian carp, bearded fish, and some white stripes.
In short, the bait money is worth the harvest, and the Changshui River cheers one after another.
"Dad, this bait is too powerful, what did you do, it just stinks."
Father Wang is dissatisfied, even if the things given by Fubao are stinky things, they are good things, if there is no Fubao, how can there be good things to feed a large family.
"This bait doesn't taste good, how do you know that this fish has to eat. Pack up your things and go home. ”
Wang Yonglin found that his father was mysterious now, how could he not have discovered this good thing before.
"This money is really heavy, I have never seen so many copper plates in my life." Wang Yongping took off a coat to load the copper plate, and it was a heavy bag.
"It's going to be the New Year soon, buy some good ones for the kids."
A few men walked on the road, grinning all the way, happy from the inside out.
When passing by a few families, Father Wang carried a few fish and sent them over.
These families had helped his family before, especially when he had a wife who worked hard to raise children alone.
At that time, the children in the family were gluttonous and often walked around the door of people's homes, especially when other people's houses were eating.
Some mothers-in-law and aunts have a good heart, and they give some food to eat, and the situation was not bad at that time, and everyone was well fed and warmly dressed.
Only Daddy Wang was split from scratch, and he relied on two pairs to support a few children, and the military salary he returned from retirement was deducted by his family, and life at that time was really difficult.
"Oops! Changyi, what are you doing, take it back. ”
Grandma Hua saw how precious the fish she was carrying, she knew that it was not easy for the Wang family, where did she dare to accept it.
"Sister Hua, you just take it, you catch a lot of fish today, you see, it's all fish, where can you finish eating, it's about to end the year, keep Fengping back to eat."
Hua Granda Nunu's mouth, where is this, waved his hand: "Take it and sell it, it will cost a lot of money, keep it to buy food, there are so many people in your family." ”
"Take it, the big and small children of the Wang family are all delivered by you, those who are close to each other, the kindness is great, and everyone will be better in the future."
I heard that Daddy Wang said that several families gave it away, and Grandma Hua accepted it, such a big fish, the Wang family is also a good one.
After the flood, her family had not touched meat for several months, and the only only son was also in the town with the four brothers of the Wang family to carry goods at the wharf to earn some rations.
