Chapter 279 Fishing Man


Chapter 279 The Fishing Man

The next day, the morning light faded.

Chu Heng had just put his fishing gear in the car and was getting ready to go to work in the morning when he met the second roommate of the Chu family who had also just gone out.

After the two looked at each other, the girl smiled at him calmly and greeted him warmly as usual: "Brother, go to work."

"Well, Why are you going out now? You're almost late." Chu Heng nodded calmly, as steady as an old dog.

"There is a meeting in the factory today. You don't have to go too early. I won't tell you anymore. I'll leave first." As she spoke, Qin Jingru passed him by without looking away and left the courtyard humming a little tune.

Who could have guessed that the two of them were having an affair together last night?

Chu Heng nodded with satisfaction, expressed high praise for the girl's superb acting skills, and then pushed the cart out the door.

After handing over to the work unit, he went to Old Man Lian’s house with great pride, preparing to compete with him.

There is no one else around today, just the old man and Chu Heng.

After the two met, they exchanged a few trash talk in dissatisfaction with each other, then pedaled out of Sijiu City and rushed to a fishing spot that the old man had chosen long ago.

The place was not far from the outskirts of the city, next to a village, and a very open pool.

Chu Heng went to the place to take a look and found that it was indeed a good place for fishing.

There are big trees, crops, vegetable gardens and orchards on the shore. Small insects on trees and crop seeds are easily blown into the water by the wind. Fish in the water have abundant food sources and are also greedy, so they can easily take the bait.

“You are quite good at picking places.” Chu Heng nodded with a smile, wiped himself and took off the straight precious fishing rod tied to the car, and awkwardly began to tie the line up and hook it. , making preliminary preparations.

"One raw melon and egg!"

The old man glanced at him and curled his lips proudly. After skillfully handling the fishing rod for a while, he quickly threw the rod out, and the old man moved the fishing rod. Sit down and wait for the fish to take the bait.

At this time, Chu Heng had not yet hung up the lead pendant.

He glanced at the old man, then continued fiddling with his head: "I'll beat you with raw melon and eggs too!"

After a while, he got his fishing rod ready, and then he Dian Dian carried the things and ran to a position a little further away from the old man, for fear of being deprived of his luck.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he threw the rod and sat down, even the old man bit the hook.

It is a big carp, weighing three kilograms.

Chu Heng glanced contemptuously and sat there motionless, staring at his fish bobber with his falcon-like eyes.

Not long after, the old man caught fish again, this time it was a grass carp weighing more than two kilograms.

"Hey, little bastard, you haven't taken the bait yet? I've already got two of them, me!" The old man said with a smile as he mentioned the fish he had just caught.

"Why are you so anxious!"

Chu Heng felt a little panicked. After thinking about it, he picked up the fishing rod and took a look, and found that the earthworms on the hook were gone!

"Fuck! That's what I said!"

He cursed angrily through gritted teeth, quickly tied the bait again, and threw out the fishing rod with confidence.

However, this is of no use.

It was time to catch the fish or not. His fish float seemed to be welded to the surface of the water, motionless.

On the other hand, the old man could catch one from time to time, but it made the old man very proud.

Just like that, the time soon came to one o'clock.

Old man Lian had a great harvest today, with more than 20 big and small fish, almost a record high, but Chu Heng was not doing so well, so he just caught a little tortoise and it was enough to make soup. Almost meaningless.

The emperor really takes turns, come to my house today!

"Boy, you know that ginger is still hot this time, right?" Old Man Lian proudly tied his catch to the handlebar and said cogently: "If you convince me, I'll give you two, what do you think?" "Why should I obey? I caught more than 30 fish last time, how many of you?" Chu Heng threw the bastard back into the pool with a dark face, and glanced down at the dead fish on the ground, which had no toughness at all. Well, it’s an ugly fishing rod.

The more he drove, the angrier he became, so the guy "accidentally" stepped on it, and the precious fishing rod that had created great achievements for him just exited the stage.

Since ancient times, pretty boys are the most ruthless!

The two of them rode all the way back to the city. When they arrived near the Chaoyang vegetable market, Chu Heng found an excuse to separate from the old man, then walked around in a big circle and sneaked into the vegetable market. I bought five crucian carp with the money and went back.

This is what all fishermen do.

Director Chu has only been in the industry for a few days, and he has already understood the true meaning.

Since that day, Chu Heng has been drifting away from the Diaoyu Lao on the road of no return.

He realized his own technical shortcomings. Every day after get off work, he ran to chat with the senior fisherman Yan Bugui across the street, obsessively absorbing the old man's various experiences.

He also began to pay attention to fishing tackle. The fishing rod Liu Guangtian bought for him for 50 cents was too heavy after he used it once, so he threw it in the stove.

In order to get a good pole, this guy went to a mountain more than ten kilometers away, cut down more than twenty old bamboos, and then spent the price of a bottle of Erguo to ask Yan Bugui to make it for him. Three lightweight and tough fine fishing rods.

This thing is a technical job, and as a newbie, he really can't do it.

The material needs to be bamboo with very dense knots, and it has to be straightened by burning a fire. Finally, the masonry beams have to be hung to dry and shape. Without some experience, it will not be done well.

Now that you have the fishing rod, everything else cannot be inferior.

I waved the money ticket directly, ran to the department store, and bought a professional thread hook.

Line No. 2 costs one cent a meter, and Japanese No. 4 Izu hook costs four cents. He spent more than 30 cents just to buy these two items, which can be called a luxury.

If Miss Ni is at home, it must be Fu Shui who warns her.

Since then, Chu Heng has lived the life of a fisherman who goes out early and comes back late, feeding mosquitoes by the river at night.

And have fun doing it.

……

One evening, Director Chu, who had been tanned for several days, happily returned to the courtyard with today's receipt, preparing to make a sizzling crucian carp to eat in the evening.

As soon as this guy got busy, Xu Damao led Yu Haitang to his house.

When he entered the house and saw a large pot of live fish at the door, Xu Damao raised his eyebrows: "Hey, we haven't caught a lot of fish today. There must be six or seven of them, right?"

" Hey, if old man Lian hadn't left in such a hurry, I could have done a few more. "Chu. Hengmei pointed at the fish in the basin with a smile and said: "Just right, you can take two back to eat later." Go to the recycling department and you can exchange money for a pack of cigarettes.”

"How much money do I need?" Chu Heng wiped himself and brought two straws, neatly put on two big grass carp and handed them over: "Take it back and braise it, put less soy sauce, and sprinkle a handful of coriander when it comes out of the pot. It tastes so delicious!”

“Oh, thank you so much, brother.” Xu Damao quickly took it.

"Poof!"

Yu Haitang looked at Chu Heng's dark face and white teeth, and couldn't help laughing: "If Ni Yinghong comes back and sees you like this, he will definitely recognize you. I can’t come out anymore. It’s almost black. "It's briquettes."

"It's okay. I'm not afraid of the sun. I'll get it back in a few days." Chu Heng smiled nonchalantly and immediately invited the two of them, "Stand by now." That’s it, come in and sit down.”

Xu Damao waved his hand and said: "No, no, we are here to invite your children to come to our house for the engagement dinner. You can be sure to reward me."

"Then you must go." Chu Heng hurriedly said.
