Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 531 Competition

"Are you sure you are serious?" Li Hongbing asked with a smile.

"Nonsense, who is playing tricks with you?" The second brother-in-law raised his eyebrows and quickly added, "But let's agree first, let's compare weights and we can't cheat. I know you have the method."

Li Hongbing curled his lips and looked at his eldest brother-in-law, "Boss Qian, do you want to play?"

I?

The eldest brother-in-law looked at the two bettors. Cui Laoer was very good at it. He had won several first-level fishing championships in the city. He was the one who guided him in fishing.

My brother-in-law’s fishing level is not clear, he should not be as good as Cui Laoer.

Look at Cui Laoer's little movements of blinking constantly.

The two have been together for a long time and have already formed a tacit understanding of steel. The eldest brother-in-law understood and said, "Okay, Cui Laoer and I will work together."

The second brother-in-law immediately showed a winning smile and said, "San'er, why don't you choose Dad to be with you? Let's go two against two!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dad hurriedly raised his hand.

"I object, and I'm going with the second child."

The two sides separated and found their own fishing spots.

The bell hanging on one of the fishing rods made a clear sound. Dad looked overjoyed and shouted hurriedly.

"I always use earthworms when fishing."

"Wait a minute, I'm going to dig some bait!" Li Hongbing walked to the wall, picked up a hoe and walked to the vegetable garden. When he came back, he grabbed a handful of soil. There were many thin earthworms twisting in the soil.

It's time to teach them a lesson.

"Boss, protect your fish to San'er to prevent him from cheating. Remember, it's a weight comparison. Let's get started!"

Any secret bait is useless. These earthworms have eaten the power of the source, so no fish will be confused after eating it.

The second brother-in-law smiled contemptuously.

He must be taken care of today.

"Okay, I'll beat the three of you by myself. Don't cry if you lose. Mom will help bear witness to prevent them from cheating."

"Let's go over there, how about you?"

The refrigerator at home is filled with fish sent by the second son-in-law, and he can eat it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. His fishing skills are not something to boast about. Teaming up with his younger son is not just looking for defeat.

I am the three-time fishing king of Dongfeng City, and I am nicknamed Yu Jianchou.

I found a rock and sat down, and slowly took out the fishing line, float and hook.

Li Hongbing, on the other hand, seemed much shabby. He only had these three things: a bamboo pole, a handful of earthworms, and a fish guard.

While Li Hongbing was still recalling his childhood, his second brother-in-law had already adjusted the equipment, hung up the bait and threw it into the water. There were more than a dozen fishing rods lined up on the shore, and he said with confidence.

"The fish floated black instantly. I thought it was a big fish." The second brother-in-law was greatly disappointed and turned around and continued to stare at his fishing rod.

The four of them walked towards the backyard. The two sisters wanted to watch the excitement, but their mother called them back halfway.

When ready.

The eldest brother-in-law had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed the fishing rod and lifted it hard. The fishing line instantly stretched straight. When the fish came out of the water, the other two people saw clearly that it was a small catfish as long as a palm.

The second brother-in-law raised the corners of his mouth, as if he had seen victory waving to him, but he still had to show off his posture.

It was obviously the fish we caught, but he used it as a favor.

When they arrived at Tiankeng Lake, Li Hongbing generously let his second brother-in-law choose a place.

When it comes to fishing equipment, the two brothers-in-law opened the fish bags, took out more than a dozen fishing rods, and laid them out in a row. All kinds of fishing bait and fishing gear were really luxurious.

"San'er, I have a secret bait here, why don't you order it for me?"

Li Hongbing refused with a smile and raised the mud in his hand.

Li Hongbing doesn't care. For him, he can fish anywhere he has earthworms.

Looking at the opposite side, they were making nests and trying to drift, and they took off in a hurry.

In her old words, a bunch of gentlemen are messing around, and women should not get involved.

Li Hongbing shrugged his shoulders. It seemed that no one believed in his fishing skills.

"Hey, I've bitten the bait, pick up the rod quickly!"

Sudden.

Simple equipment, but a source of great joy as a child.

"I must make San'er cry tonight!"

We will cheat!

I'm afraid you won't be able to cure not just your ears but your deafness, and you won't even be clear-headed.

San'er is so hateful.

The second brother-in-law glanced around the lake again and again, muttering a lot of professional terms about slippery tip, fish passage, second path, and finding songs, and finally pointed to a location.

Li Hongbing curled his lips disdainfully, fishing is just entertainment, why do you do so many tricks!

The so-called fishing thread is a double-stranded sewing thread, the fish float is a string of small foam, and the fishhook is made of a sewing needle. Heat the needle red and use vise pliers to make it into the shape of a fishhook.

what!

I thought I had some secret weapon, but it turns out that this champion specializes in fighting against the Earthworm Party.

The eldest brother-in-law and father nodded in agreement.

"Small fishes are fish too, and they are better than nothing. San'er hasn't even caught one yet!" The eldest brother-in-law didn't mind it, he happily picked off the little catfish and threw it into the fish guard.

When Li Hongbing saw the fish on the opposite side, he was not in a hurry and slowly adjusted the float.

at this time.

Sun Qiang, Wang Hai, and Zhou Dasheng appeared.

Especially Wang Hai, when he saw the Tiankeng Lake in front of him, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

On the way, I learned about the changes in the backyard from Sun Qiang, but it was more direct to say that it was far from being seen.

"When you talk to Dr. Li later, remember to face him face to face. His ears can't hear." Sun Qiang reminded him again and again like a mother-in-law.

"I see, you are really good at digging a pond. You are better off, just dig it out and dig a lake in one step. Who is so creative!"

Wang Hai expressed admiration for the two of them. If he had such an idea of ​​being one step ahead of others, why would he be doing any projects? It would be better to directly become the chief designer of his own design company.

From the corner of his eye, Sun Qiang saw Zhou Dasheng looking helpless, and couldn't bear to provoke him any more, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Don't be so gloating about your misfortune. Lao Zhou is almost dying. You should quickly think of a way to make up for it."

Remedy!

Wang Hai put his hand on his chin and looked at the Tiankeng Lake in front of him, with various design plans emerging in his mind.

"Let's go and talk to Doctor Li first!"

Li Hongbing was lowering his head to hang earthworms on the fishhook when he suddenly felt that the light in front of him was blocked. He looked up and saw Wang Hai and smiled.

"You came here really fast!"

"Doctor Li, I dare you to hurry up." Wang Hai smiled.

Li Hongbing stood up and pointed to the Tiankeng Lake in front of him, "Let me tell you my thoughts first. Tea trees must be replanted on the shore of the lake. By the way, the planting area of ​​the medicinal garden should be expanded. It is best to be simple and simple. You can look at the rest. manage!"

Wang Hai nodded, picked up the drawing board behind his back, raised a pencil to sketch the surrounding environment, and then sat on the ground and drew a rough sketch.

Soon, a pencil drawing of Tiankeng Lake was sketched on the drawing board, and my own design ideas were also added.

"Doctor Li, take a look first. If there is anything inappropriate, I will modify it." Wang Hai put the drawing board in front of Li Hongbing and introduced.

“According to my design, I plan to place a floating plank road on the lake, circle around the lake, and build a floating bridge-style pavilion in the center of the lake. As the water level rises, even if the water rises in the future, it will have no impact on the plank road and pavilion. Easy to repair.”

"For the tea gardens and medicine gardens you want, I can plan separate planting areas on the mountain side. This will not damage the environment and fully utilize the value of the lakeshore."

After listening to the plan, Li Hongbing imagined the picture in his mind and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's do this. How long will the construction period take? It's getting colder and colder now. It might be snowing soon."

Wang Hai thought for a moment and realized that he was afraid of delaying the construction work. Doctor Li was the one who was most in need of money. However, his only requirement for time was how fast it could be done. Money was not an issue. "It won't take long. We can measure the lake length parameters today and send them directly to the factory to order the plank road materials. The goods will arrive tomorrow. The installation may take two days. After all, we need to adjust the balance of the floating plank road."

It took three days to complete.

Okay.

Li Hongbing was determined immediately.

"You make arrangements first, and I will move the Shan'aokou Medicine Garden to a location to facilitate your construction."

Wang Hai immediately followed the trend, "This happened suddenly. I want to ask Captain Zhou for help. Otherwise, I have to measure the parameters of the lake length and design a plan. I'm afraid it will be too busy for one person."

"I'm good at measuring data. It's no problem to leave it to me." Zhou Dasheng said with a confident expression, "And the engineering vehicle has an inflatable boat that can be launched into the water for measurement."

You're acting like a fool!

If you are good at it, you can make the mountain col look like this.

"I don't care so much. Just do your best. Don't make any mistakes this time. I'll take care of you." Li Hongbing cast a look of distrust, which made Zhou Dasheng's face feel hot.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hongbing looked at Sun Qiang.

"By the way, Lao Sun, you can stop by and see if the bottom of the lake can be cleaned up. The messy rocks look uncomfortable. I also plan to plant some lotus flowers at the bottom of the lake."

Clean the stones.

Sun Qiang frowned in embarrassment.

He has a specialization in the art, and working on the ground is no problem, but working in the water is not his strong point.

It’s not that you don’t want to earn money, it’s that you can’t earn it.

"Doctor Li, as far as I know, the lake bottom cleaning project requires either draining the lake water, using a dredging boat, or using a large excavator to enter the site. Under the current conditions, none of these three methods can be achieved unless it is close to the backyard. The wall should be demolished and the width of the mountain pass should be widened.”

Such trouble!

Li Hongbing thought for a while and realized that this was also the case. Neither the dredging boat nor the excavator could enter the backyard. But if that happened, the construction period would be delayed indefinitely and the house would be messed up.

So, this idea can only be given up!

"Forget it, let's help Wang Hai build the plank road first. By the way, how's the hot spring pool going?"

Sun Qiang paused, "The infrastructure and waterproofing parts have been completed, and now we are waiting for the water storage test."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Finish it as soon as possible and feel at ease. I'm going fishing!"

Li Hongbing picked up the bamboo pole, grabbed the hooked earthworm, and pulled hard. The bamboo pole bent into a bow shape. He released his hand and used the elasticity of the fishing rod to throw the bait into the water.

Seeing this, Sun Qiang and the others had no choice but to leave with a wry smile and start planning the measurement.

On the other side, the second brother-in-law and the others served fish one after another. Although the fish were not big, they were large in quantity, at least enough to fry a plate.

"San'er, have you caught any fish? Let's see if I'm fat!" The eldest brother-in-law raised his fishing rod and caught a small fish about two ounces in size, shouting very proudly.

This is also called fat!

Li Hongbing curled his lips.

I'm afraid you've never seen anything called a big fish.

At this time, the foam floating on the water suddenly sank into the water. Li Hongbing, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed the fishing rod and exerted all his strength, feeling a powerful force struggling underwater.

The already tough bamboo pole instantly turned into a large curved bow.

The two strands of sewing thread are taut, and as the fish exerts force under the water, the sewing thread makes a whining sound.

The movement here quickly attracted the attention of the second sister. As an experienced fisherman, the fishing rod bent into a bow meant something.

It means you hit a big fish.

It's like a dog, San'er is so lucky.

I silently cheered for Li Hongbing.

"Broken rod, broken line, unhooked, broken rod, broken line, unhooked!!"

Suddenly, the sound of broken rods, broken lines, and unhooked hooks sounded in my ears.

The second brother-in-law was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to say it. Who is so brave and not afraid of being beaten by San'er?

Turning around, my father looked nervous, staring straight at the fishing line swimming on the water, muttering blessings.

Hey!

This fish is so powerful!

Li Hongbing concentrated on controlling the bamboo pole to prevent the big fish from escaping. Every time he lifted the line, he used clever skills and power control.

The big fish rolled in the water, causing splashes, as if trying to break free.

As time passed, Li Hongbing's eyes became more determined.

Finally, the big fish gradually exhausted its strength and slowly pulled towards the shore.

The moment the big fish emerged from the water, Li Hongbing couldn't help but cheer. The big fish's body was shining with golden light, and its side was flashing with dazzling golden stripes. Its size of six or seven pounds was amazing.

What a big golden thread fish.

Li Hongbing carefully grabbed the golden thread fish's mouth and lifted it out of the water. Feeling the heavy weight, the golden thread fish struggled violently in his hands.

"San'er, we caught it, don't run away, I'll get the fish to protect you!" The second brother-in-law ran over excitedly, with the eldest brother-in-law and his father following closely behind.

Such a big golden thread fish can have a good meal today.

But Li Hongbing just measured the length of the golden thread fish with his arm, then walked back to the lake and put the fish into the water.

"San'er, you're not going to let me go, are you!" The second brother-in-law exclaimed.

If I could catch such a big fish, I would definitely use it as a specimen and display it at home, and take it out for fun when I have nothing to do.

Fortunately for my brother-in-law, this posture is to let go.

"Why don't you release it? I haven't seen such a big belly. There must be a lot of fish roe in it. It's not easy to grow so big. There are so many small fish in the lake that you can't eat."

"Besides, the rules of our mountain running in the forest are to hit the males but not the females, and the older ones and not the younger ones. You can't break the rules. Ask dad if that's true."

Forehead!

Although he was reluctant to give up this big golden thread fish, what the younger son said was right.

Dad nodded reluctantly and admitted.

There is indeed a saying in the forest area that you should hunt males rather than females. You can only hunt males because females can continue to reproduce, so the forest will not be empty. You should hunt the older ones rather than the younger ones. The rule is to hunt the younger ones first. For older animals, this is to ensure that future generations have meat to eat.

The second brother-in-law did not agree with this view. Instead, he said plausibly, "You are so old, who still sticks to the old rules? If you don't eat this fish, others will eat it next time it is their turn. They are all eaten anyway, so it is better to be cheap." us."

"It's other people's business if they don't abide by it. I just abide by it." Li Hongbing was too lazy to pay attention to his second brother-in-law. He put the big golden thread fish into the water and secretly injected a ray of original power.

Give it a gentle push.

"Let's go quickly. Be careful when you see fishhooks next time. You won't be so lucky next time!"

The big golden thread fish swam its tail and swam into the deep water and disappeared.

Hey!

The second brother-in-law looked at the back of the golden thread fish and sighed with regret.

If I caught it myself, I wouldn't let it go even to the extreme.

Releasing animals into the stomach is not releasing them.

Then he took out his phone and checked the time.

"San'er, let's finish the game at 5 o'clock. There's still half an hour left. You're a good person. I think you're going to be a mess tonight."

Eat farts!

Let's ride on a donkey and read the songbook to see who eats the fart!

Li Hongbing slowly picked up an earthworm and hung it on the fishhook, then threw the fishing rod into the water.

Ring ring ring! !

The fishing rod bells ring on the lake shore.

The second brother-in-law didn't care enough to continue taunting his brother-in-law and hurriedly ran towards the fishing platform.
