Chapter 23 Bait (continued)(1/2)
Along the river, there was a fisherman sitting at a distance of more than ten steps. Behind the person, there were several people surrounding him and watching silently.
Two more people walked back and forth between the two anglers, leading the way, Liu Yan, son of the Poyang Insider.
He first watched Li Li fishing, but after the bait entered the water, the float did not move.
On the other side, not long after the bait entered the water, the fish bit the hook and pulled up a big crucian carp.
Li Li continued to move. After a while, he caught a crucian carp again on the other side.
Liu Yan looked carefully for a while and felt that Li Li was not cheating because the float didn't move, which meant that there was no fish biting at all...
Suddenly, the float of Li Li's fishing rod moved gently, and Liu Yan's heart rose, staring at him intently, trembling slightly as he watched the float.
After a moment, the float suddenly sank. Li Li suddenly lifted the rod, and saw a splash of water blooming, and a fish was caught by Li Li.
Liu Yan looked closely and found that it was a small fish, about the same size as the little finger, and his body was slender and not like a crucian carp.
Cheers came from his ears. He turned to look, but saw a friend dropping another crucian carp.
This scene formed a strong contrast, and Liu Yan couldn't help but be stunned.
Liu Yan went out for a trip with his friends today, but met Li Li who was fishing by the Po River. Now his friend is competing with Li Li to fish. Li Li's bet made makes Liu Yan puzzled.
He knew that Li Li was a Yuliang official, so if Li Li wanted to catch less than others in this crucian carp fishing competition, he would have to cheat.
In other words, you cannot catch fish on purpose, for example, just lift the fishing rod as soon as the float moves. In this way, you will definitely not be able to catch a fish.
In order to prevent Li Li from cheating, Liu Yan came to supervise. Because the bait used for fishing was brought by Li Li and his group, he checked the bait first.
Liu Yan had fished and knew that earthworms were used more when fishing, but the bait brought by Li Li was not earthworms, but something similar to dough.
The usage is to take a small ball of sticking it to the hook, just like the earthworm fishing method.
The dough is only one basket, without layers, and it exudes a faint fragrance, making people feel greedy when they smell it.
But eating is impossible, so Liu Yan felt that the bait was fine, but saw Li Li dividing the bait into three.
My friend picked a basket first, and then Li Li asked his companions to take one of the remaining two portions at will and scattered them in the river in advance, saying that it was a gathering of fish.
Li Li took the third one himself.
In this way, Li Li could not cheat in the bait, so the competition began.
As a result, Liu Yan could see clearly that his friends caught crucian carp one after another, while Li Li only caught some small fish occasionally, and the number was pitifully small.
What's going on?
Liu Yan couldn't figure it out, and looked at Li Li with confusion.
......
The reed rod float floating on the water suddenly fell, and the fat guy fishing on the shore jumped up and shouted in surprise:
"I've been hooked again, I've been hooked again!!!"
He raised the rod hard, stretched the line straight, and pulled something out of the water.
It was a big fish, struggling hard in the water, and suddenly exerted force to drill into the water. Its strength was so great that it actually pulled the little fat man into the river.
The follower who had already prepared aside quickly pulled the fat man. The fat man held the fishing rod tightly and pulled the fish to the shore with all his might, yelling: "Don't try to run away!"
As he danced and spitted, he was disheveled, like an ordinary naughty boy, but he looked like a noble young man?
Liu Pan, who was standing next to him, stared at the man with wide eyes. The fish competed with each other. Seeing the fishing rod bent, the fish swam back and forth in the water, they were so nervous that they clasped their hands tightly.
The little fat man screamed and pulled the fish on the bait to the shore. Seeing that the fish was getting closer and closer by him, he was very excited: "Click the net! Click the net to serve!"
His servant was waiting beside him with a copy net. Seeing the fish being pulled over, he quickly copied it into the water.
The fish in desperate situation struggled desperately, and the splashes of slapping made the fat man's face wet, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being held back and dragged to the shore.
The little fat man didn't care about being embarrassed. When he ran closer, he saw that it was a fat crucian carp, which was bigger than an adult's slap.
The followers quickly flattered: "Congratulations to you, you'll hit another one!"
"Hahaha, I see where you run!"
The fat man's face was flushed with excitement. He asked someone to pick up the crucian carp, take the hook, and put it in the wooden barrel next to him.
There were more than ten crucian carp squeezed into the wooden barrel, both big and small.
Liu Pan leaned his head to look and sighed sincerely: "You are so good, you have caught so many crucian carp!"
The little fat man became more and more proud: "Hehe, this is nothing. I caught more fish than this last time!"
Not far away, Li Li, who was fishing, also raised his rod, but the fish he caught was a small miscellaneous fish, the size of his index finger.
When the fat man saw Li Li catch fish, he went over and saw that it was a small fish. He looked at the few crucian carp in the bucket beside Li Li, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled:
"Haha, I caught more fish than you, I won!"
However, according to the bet, Li Li should have won.
Li Li is not stupid. He was still struggling with a bet at this time. Seeing that the time was almost the same, he put down the fishing rod and saluted the little fat man: "The villain is not as skilled as the husband, and the villain loses."
"Hahahahahaha.....cough cough cough cough cough..."
The fat man smiled so hard that he almost bleeded his back and coughed because of his saliva, but his excitement was beyond words: "You fishing master are so bad, aren't you ashamed?"
"Mr. I'm saying it..." Li Li said in a low voice, looking dejected. He paused and said, "Mr. I won, the villain will listen to Mr.'s treatment."
"Disposal?" The little fat man looked at Li Li with a smile, thought for a while, and waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm happy today and I won't care about you."
"But, do you have to know shame? A fishing official, who is so bad at fishing, what's going on?"
"Yes, the villain understands, the villain knows shame."
Li Li said in fear and fear that he was relieved to see that this naughty child was coaxed by him.
No matter how arrogant a naughty child is, he is just a child. As long as he deals with it properly and makes the other person happy, the other person will inevitably lose himself and the risk will disappear invisibly.
While he was so happy that he did not reveal his fishing skills, avoiding the possibility of being further troubled by the other party, and successfully passing the test.
Wu Xiang and Peng Jun stood aside and stared blankly. They couldn't believe that Li Li would lose to a young man in the royal family who was dressed in a rich manner.
But that's the truth.
In half an hour, I was fishing in a river section. When the little husband of the royal palace got the bait, the fish in the water were like hungry, and they bit the hook one by one.
The bait on Li Li's side seemed like a piece of shit, and the fish almost didn't touch it. They looked carefully and could see that Li Li didn't mean to catch fish.
Not long ago, Li Li could catch mandarin fish that was difficult to catch with even one iron piece.
What's going on?
They can't figure it out.
The fat man caught many fish and was naturally very excited. Liu Pan also became interested when he saw that he was fishing with a "magical" fishing.
He also caught fish and found it very boring. He sat foolishly by the water and fished. He couldn't catch a single tail for a long time. Sometimes the float moved and lifted the rod, and the fish didn't bite the hook at all.
Liu Pan doesn't like fishing, but now...
Seeing Liu Pan's eagerness to try, the fat man generously handed over the fishing rod. Seeing this, the middle-aged man who was following Liu Pan quickly asked the child servant to go up and hang the bait.
Liu Yan waited until the bait was hung, and couldn't wait to lift the rod and put the bait into the water.
He looked at the float nervously, fearing that no fish would bite the hook for a long time and pull the float.
As a result, after a while, the float suddenly sank down. Liu Pan was excited and lifted the rod without thinking.
There was obviously a heavy object on the other end of the fishing rod, and it kept pulling: it was the fish biting the hook and struggling.
Liu Pan was delighted and tried hard to lift the rod. Sure enough, he pulled up a crucian carp from the water. The crucian carp kept struggling, causing splashes of water.
"Ah! I've taken the hook, I've taken the hook!!"
Liu Pan didn't care about the "demeanor" and shouted excitedly. When the fat man saw that his friend had caught a fish, he was extremely excited and cheered to come forward to help.
The two of them "pulled" the crucian carp together, and looked at the lively "big guy" and laughed happily.
The middle-aged man who was accompanying Liu Yan was so happy that he saw Liu Yan dancing with joy, and looked at Li Li again, with a puzzled expression.
Not only him, but the other followers looked at Li Li with a confused expression.
Their entourage knows what fishing looks like, but what they see with their own eyes today is really unbelievable.
But the competition is very fair, and there is no possibility of Li Li cheating, so I can only say that his husband is really lucky?
Seeing the two young men excited, Li Li knew the fishing rod in his hand and said, "You two men are happy, why not fish more?"
"Okay!" The little fat man took the fishing rod and said with a smile: "I am happy today, and I have a reward!"
Then he turned around and looked at the follower: "Get a gold and give it to him!"
Gold collars, that is, flat gold nuggets or gold bars, vary in size and weight ranging from 2 to 100 taels. It is said that wealthy people like to stock up on this thing.
When Li Li saw that the follower really took out a finger-sized golden elves, he was not happy but sad, and he complained in his heart:
If this thing is cancelled, he cannot refuse what other requirements he has for the naughty child next, after all, he has short staff.
Li Li judged that the fat man must live in Poyang for a while. What if he remembered him, Yuliang Li, who had taken the gold jewel, and asked him to come and play with him, what should he do?
Jinying is a good thing, but in order to stay away from naughty children, it is better not to do so.
