60s: I have a store

Chapter 281 Seasickness
Zhou Yimin looked at the vast ocean and immediately felt refreshed.

Fortunately, he did not suffer from seasickness.

The canteen director Shang Jianguo was not so lucky. He was fine at first, but as the wooden boat left the port, symptoms of seasickness began to appear.

Shang Jianguo was better, just a little dizzy, but did not vomit.

The canteen director was a bit miserable. Although he was also a native of Tianjin, he had almost never been to the sea, so no one knew that he would get seasick.

If he had known he would get seasick, he would never have come along.

This is also called motion sickness, which is a series of physiological reactions caused by multiple factors that lead to the human body's incorrect perception of the state of motion.

It is mainly caused by the conflict of information among the vestibular, visual and proprioceptive systems, and is common when traveling by boat, car, airplane or other means of transportation.

But don't ignore motion sickness and seasickness.

As we all know, its main symptoms are dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort, pale complexion, cold sweat, etc. Usually the symptoms will be relieved or disappear after stopping the means of transportation and do not pose a life threat.

However, in severe cases, symptoms such as chest tightness, cold limbs, dehydration, difficulty breathing, slow reaction, feeling of impending death, and coma may occur.

Zhou Yimin was surprised that he didn't get seasick on his first time on a boat.

In fact, he prepared motion sickness medicine in advance.

This made the seasickness medicine he had prepared in advance useless, but he didn't dare to give it to the canteen director as he had no way to explain where the medicine came from.

I can only say sorry silently in my heart. In order not to be exposed, I have to think of other ways.

After Shang Jianguo saw this scene, he almost couldn't hold it back, so he could only turn his head away silently and not look at the canteen director. If he continued to watch, he would probably vomit.

Anyone who understands knows that vomiting is contagious.

I don’t get seasick, but when I see others vomiting, I start to develop the same symptoms and start vomiting too.

"Director, you can close your eyes and rest. Also, is there hot water here? Drinking more hot water can also relieve the symptoms of seasickness." Zhou Yimin said.

In China, hot water is a panacea. No matter what the symptoms are, you can always say: drink more hot water.

Chen Changhui also nodded and said, "Cousin, what Expert Zhou said is right. This method is indeed useful."

Some people in their line of work will suffer from seasickness at the beginning, but after gradual training, this condition can be alleviated.

After hearing this, the canteen director said weakly: "Okay, I'll try it."

He took the hot water handed to him by Chen Changhui and started to drink it slowly.

Since the space in the wooden boat was limited and there was no place to rest, after drinking the hot water he could only find a relatively clean board and lie down on it.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after lying down, the symptoms of seasickness seemed to be relieved. Maybe it was because of seasickness, I fell asleep without realizing it.

Zhou Yimin asked, "Brother Jianguo, do you want to take a break as well?"

Looking at Shang Jianguo who was pale, he couldn't help but ask.

Shang Jianguo wanted to hold on for a while, but when he felt like vomiting, he said, "Then I'll take a break too."

He leaned against the side of the boat and began to close his eyes to rest. Zhou Yimin felt a little sorry that he didn't bring a fishing rod with him, otherwise he could go fishing while fishing, which would be very exciting. Especially now, the fishing has not started yet.

He hurriedly asked, "Comrade Captain, do you have a fishing rod?"

Chen Changhui did not dare to neglect and said, "Yes, Expert Zhou, I will go get you one now."

After saying that, he came to the place where fishing gear was stored, where there were not only fishing rods, but also some messy fishing nets.

This is the most valuable thing after the fishing boats, especially the fishing nets, which are more prone to rotting. As long as there is a hole in it, we will start repairing it, and only replace it with a new one when it cannot be repaired.

Originally, there were no fishing rods on the boat, but after hearing from his cousin that Expert Zhou was here for experience, he prepared one or two, and he didn't expect that they would come in handy.

Soon Chen Changhui came over with a fishing rod and some baits in his hand. However, these baits were basically some shellfish, also caught from the sea and left for two days. The smell was indescribable.

Fishing is not easy without bait.

After all, not everyone can fish like Jiang Taigong and wait for anyone to take the bait.

How can you catch fish without bait?

Many people don’t know that fishing has a long history and cultural background in China.

As early as before the Shang Dynasty, humans had begun to fish extensively. At that time, they used ropes or rattan to tie hooks and bait and then threw them into the water. By the end of the Shang Dynasty, they began to use tools such as bone hooks and hemp ropes.

By the Song Dynasty, fishing tools already included auxiliary tools such as fishing rods, fishing lines, floats, sinkers, fish hooks and baits.

The sport of fishing not only has a long history in China, but also has a wide influence around the world.

For example, in ancient Egypt, fishing was considered a recreational activity, while in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, fishing was considered an important commercial activity.

In medieval Europe, fishing became a common recreational activity for nobility and royal families.

Since modern times, with the development of science and technology, the quality and efficiency of fishing tools have been significantly improved. At the same time, fishing has also become an important sport and competitive event.

Zhou Yimin had never fished in his previous life, but had he never eaten pork, had he never seen a pig run?

I saw him skillfully hook the bait with a fishhook, adjust the float, and throw it into the sea.

This fishing rod is just the most basic one, which is a bamboo with a fishing line tied to it and a fish hook hung on it. It is not like later generations, where fishing equipment is not so complete. As long as you have enough money, you can buy any equipment.

And there are no carbon fiber rods now, so you can only make do with this kind of thing!

He had a copy of the store in his mind, and he had given one to someone last time! But at this moment, he couldn't take it out.

I don’t know if it’s because of the aura of a novice or because there are too many fish resources now, but I just cast the rod and within a minute, I felt a fish taking the bait.

Zhou Yimin gently pressed down with his wrist, then quickly pulled up with his wrist and forearm, and indeed, he stabbed the fish.

Zhou Yimin was thinking, it seems that one can still learn things on the Internet in the future. He also learned this trick on the Internet, which is called stabbing fish.

Sometimes the things on the Internet are quite useful, and people’s years of “professional” experience can’t fool you.

However, Zhou Yimin felt the strength and was a little worried that the fishing rod might not be able to hold up!
