Free Web NovelChapter 1104: Chapter 450: If You Can’t Catch Fish, Dig Lotus Roots! Old Man Sun: Anglers Often Do This!
Usually, when fishing in a small creek, a five-meter rod is more than enough to easily reach the middle of the river.
With the seven-meter-two long rod, you might accidentally cast to the opposite shore, so it’s rarely used. But if you’re fishing for large fish, a longer rod packs more punch, making it easier to maneuver a big catch.
Once we reached the row of houses in the middle of the Ginkgo Garden, everyone parked their cars and got out.
The snow from a few days ago had mostly melted. On the ground in the Ginkgo Forest, yellow leaves were scattered everywhere, paired with the blue sky above, it looked particularly beautiful.
"Welcome to my place to have fun. You can roam around here freely; the fish pond is at the back. Now it’s winter, so there’s less water. In summer, it looks quite beautiful."
Xie Baomin curiously asked:
"Are there fish?"
"Yes, yes. Every spring we put some fish in there. Usually, we eat them ourselves or let tourists catch them for fun. The pond hasn’t been cleaned for five or six years, and we haven’t fed them any feed, but they still grew well. During the National Day holiday, a tourist caught a carp weighing sixteen or seventeen jins."
Sixteen or seventeen jins?
This number made the eyes of the fishing enthusiasts present light up.
Originally they just came here to relax, but since there are fish, why hesitate?
Let’s start!
Opening the trunk, Lin Xu took out two fishing bags. These were his and Shen Jiayue’s. Later, he would give Geng Lele a hand rod to let her experience the boredom and monotony of fishing.
Beside the car, Xie Baomin took out his fishing bag, slung it over his shoulder, and put on a baseball cap, holding a four-liter thermos.
Whether he would catch fish or not, he had to take care of himself.
Health is the capital for fishing.
Without a good health, even a ten-jin big fish would be hard to handle.
Han Shuzhen and Su Peipei were not very interested in fishing, but seeing everyone else going, they followed along.
Treading on the wooden walkway made of pine, everyone went to the depths of the Ginkgo Forest and saw the water pond inside.
The pond was an irregular oval shape, the entire water area covering about thirty acres. There were also several almost dried-up small ponds around, with dried lotus leaves inside.
"There are some lotus roots planted in the small ponds. The workers here occasionally dig some to make soup or dishes. When you leave, you can take some with you. This pond has soft lotus roots, and that one has crispy lotus roots..."
Mi Lan introduced the situation here, which added to everyone’s delight.
Today they definitely won’t go home empty-handed. Even if they don’t catch fish, they can dig some lotus roots.
For a fisherman, no empty catches!
Old Sun scrutinized the water area, and after considering the weather and other factors, he analyzed as the first one:
"It’s windy today, the weather is clear, and there’s no problem with air pressure. A gentle breeze is blowing, so the oxygen level in the water must be fine too. As long as the sun rises and warms up the water surface, it’s definitely going to be another big catch."
Mrs. Sun realized that when Old Sun reached the waterside, it was as if he became a different person.
His eyes were bright, murmuring continuously, like an agricultural expert in a field.
"Old Sun, you’re murmuring to yourself, have you gone fishing mad?"
"All fishermen are like this; they get excited when they see a good fishing spot... At this spot, today’s catch surely won’t be less than five jin."
Not only was he excited, but Xie Baomin also murmured like an expert:
"Pond Fishing Beach, Beach Fishing Pond, fish in grassy spots, grassless spots fish grass... I think the place near the little pavilion to the south is pretty good, there should be big fish there."
After finishing, he led the two kids over there together.
Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang initially had no interest in fishing, but once there, their innate hunting genes became active, and they wanted to try casting a few rods.
Su Peipei followed behind, taking a short video on her phone and posting it on her social circle:
"Time flies so fast, those two little kids have grown nearly as tall as their dad."
As soon as she posted it, a colleague commented:
"What a beautiful place, Ms. Su, are you on a trip?" freёwebnoѵel.com
Su Peipei replied:
"I have to work tomorrow, how can I have time for a trip? I came with Lin Xu to a Ginkgo Garden near Zhangge Zhuang, there are many ginkgo trees, it’s very beautiful."
The colleague didn’t expect it to be so close and immediately messaged to ask:
"Ms. Su, does the place accept visitors? It’s such a beautiful place, I’d love to bring my kids for a photo shoot."
Accept visitors?
Su Peipei wasn’t sure, so she looked at Mi Lan not far away and asked:
"Ms. Mi, my colleague saw the photos here and wants to come over. Do we accept visitors here? How much is the ticket?"
Mi Lan didn’t expect visitors at this time and smiled as she said:
"We’re usually just a place where friends come to eat and relax; we don’t charge an entrance fee. If your colleague wants to come, just send them the location."
Hearing this, Su Peipei sent the location to her colleague.
After sending it, she looked at Mi Lan and asked:
"Such a nice place, why not charge?"
"There are too few tourists, and there’s no energy to do publicity, so it’s more laid-back."
Not far away, Lin Xu, who was fiddling with the bait, looked slightly surprised when he heard this. He really didn’t expect that little Dundun had already brought in business just after arriving.
There would be plenty of opportunities to visit in the future, and perhaps one day this place would become popular.
He thought he’d find a time to persuade Mi Lan to start charging. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Otherwise, if there are too many people, it would become chaotic, worsening the experience. Once they charge, they can afford to hire some security, and a few cleaners, which can all be funded from the tickets.
