Chapter 1996

While eating, Tang Lin made a phone call, and in less than half an hour, a young man came. Tang Lin gave him a few instructions, and then the young man left.

In the afternoon, Zhou Andong and the others didn't go to observe the trial again. For such a big case, it couldn't be sentenced today, so listening or not didn't make sense.

After eating, the three of them didn't know where to go. Zhou Andong picked his teeth with a toothpick.

"Nothing to do in the afternoon, let's go fishing."

"Fishing?"

Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo's eyes lit up. When they were young, they took a bamboo pole, used a pin as a fishhook, used sorghum stalk pith as a float, dug a few earthworms and ran to the reservoir to fish, which was a common thing.

It's just that I don't know when I stopped fishing, and I don't know where that fishing rod was thrown. Now that Zhou Andong proposed to go fishing, the two immediately agreed.

Then Zhang Zuo took a big brother phone and made a call, asked clearly where to sell fishing rods, and the three of them drove there. After all, it was almost one o'clock. If they delayed for a while, it would be dark, and they would be fishing for farts.

Zhou Andong and the three of them spent more than 1,000 each, and bought all the equipment that a fisherman should have.

The three of them didn't care if they were fooled, they bought it if it looked pleasing to the eye. Anyway, a thousand or eight hundred yuan was not a thing for them.

Then they drove to Xiangshan Reservoir. Unexpectedly, there were people fishing here, and there were quite a few.

Zhou Andong and the others didn't disturb others, found a place, and started to fiddle with their equipment.

Except for messing around when they were young, no one had really fished, and even the fish feed was mixed by the boss who sold fishing gear.

According to the boss, first hit the nest, and then the three of them threw the hook like a model.

But half an hour passed, the three of them kept pulling the hook, let alone fish, not even a scale.

And next to several fishermen, as long as someone caught a fish, Zhang Zuo would mutter a curse.

Suddenly, an old man stood up excitedly, holding the fishing rod tightly with both hands, his body leaning back slightly, pulling the fishing rod hard, and the fishing line was tight, making a buzzing sound.

"Caught a big one!" A middle-aged man next to him saw this, immediately put down the fishing rod in his hand, and ran over quickly.

"Old Yu, do you need help?"

Old Yu nodded with a flushed face: "This thing is quite strong, I feel it must be seven or eight pounds, I'll walk it first, and you help me copy it up later."

"Okay!" The middle-aged man agreed readily, then picked up the copy net, walked quickly to the shore, eyes fixed on the water, ready to take action at any time.

Zhou Andong and the three heard the movement, put down the fishing rods in their hands one after another, and ran over excitedly to watch the excitement.

They gathered together, their eyes focused on the water, looking forward to seeing the big fish caught.

A few minutes later, the fish's strength gradually became smaller and floated on the water.

"Copy it quickly!" Old Yu shouted.

The middle-aged man looked for the opportunity, copied the fish into the net at once, and then with the help of another person, he got the fish up.

"Good guy, this fish must be more than ten pounds."

Another old man looked at the jumping fish, full of envy.

Zhang Zuo quickly reached into his pocket, groped for a pack of cigarettes, and then respectfully handed the cigarette to the old man, his tone flattering.

"Grandpa, come, smoke a cigarette."

The old man didn't refuse, took the cigarette, glanced at it, and it was actually Zhonghua. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Young man, looking at your posture, it should be your first time fishing, right?"

Zhang Zuo was stunned, but asked curiously: "Grandpa, how do you know?"

The old man laughed and pointed to their fishing gear with his finger: "Fishing is a job that requires patience. Like you, who are impatient when there is no fish biting the hook, I can tell at a glance that you are a novice."

Zhang Zuo climbed up the pole: "Then you teach me, what are the skills of fishing?"

The old man said with a smile: "First, the bait should be suitable. Different fish species like different baits. Secondly, the location of the investment is also very critical. You must find a place where fish often appear. Another is patience. Don't pull the rod frequently to see if there is any fish on the hook."

Zhang Zuo had a look of being taught, ran back excitedly, and started to hit the nest again, but in the end, he didn't catch any.

Zhou Andong sighed and looked at the time: "Okay, I guess, sitting here until tomorrow morning, we won't catch any fish."

"Damn it!" Zhang Zuo cursed: "Fish for another half an hour, I don't believe it."

"Don't say half an hour, even half a day you won't catch it." Tang Lin started to pack up: "I guess, it's our bait that has a problem."

Zhou Andong agreed very much: "I think, even if you use earthworms, you won't catch any fish."

"Come again tomorrow, we will use earthworms."

Zhang Zuo gritted his teeth and started to pack up. This guy was full of dissatisfaction.

Zhou Andong packed up the fishing gear, let Wang Wentian and the others take it to the car, and then came to the old man.

"Grandpa, what do you use to mix this bait, can you teach me?"

The old man glanced at Zhou Andong, then continued to pay attention to the float, saying nothing.

Zhou Andong laughed, took out 200 yuan from his pocket: "Grandpa, I don't want your secret recipe for nothing, I pay for it."

The old man's eyes glanced at Zhou Andong again, then his eyes moved downward, his eyes fell on the 200 yuan in Zhou Andong's hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Young man is quite good at things!" Saying that, the old man unceremoniously took the 200 yuan in Zhou Andong's hand and put it into his pocket.

"Actually, there is nothing special, it is wheat bran, corn flour and millet, and then add some Qu wine to soak it. However, this proportion is very important."

This old man is also considered particular, and told Zhou Andong the formula and proportion in great detail.

Zhang Zuo didn't know where he found the pen and paper, and recorded it very seriously.

If he was so serious when he was young, he would have become a pillar of the country, not a waste material who couldn't even burn fire.

Zhang Zuo carefully put the "secret recipe" into his hand, patted it with his hand, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

"Grandpa!" Zhang Zuo took out 50 yuan: "Can you sell me that big fish?"

"Yes!"

The old man didn't hesitate at all, swish, took the money in Zhang Zuo's hand, and then said very particularly.

"You can take all these fish."

"Particular!"

Zhang Zuo gave a thumbs up, then ran over, brought his bucket over, and poured the fish into his bucket.

"Go go go, go home."

The three of them walked to the parking place, Zhou Andong couldn't help it: "What are you buying these fish for?"

"What did you buy?" Zhang Zuo said proudly: "This is what I caught."
