Chapter 154 Fishing on the Thames

The holiday ended, and the dull days were restored after six years.

I went to the morning jog, then went to the market to buy vegetables, and after I came back, I sometimes drove to the Thames River to fish. In the afternoon, I brewed a pot of black tea and sat quietly under the grape trellis to try to translate the "Communist Manifesto". Fortunately, I took a pot of black tea and started to try to translate the "Communist Manifesto".

The good thing is that he has read the Chinese translation and still has memories. However, many proprietary nouns should be as suitable as possible for the grammatical habits of people of this era, which made his translation a lot more difficult.

On that day, he drove to the Thames again, and there were already people on the fishing spot he often used.

The man wore a wide-edged wheat straw hat, a casual hunting suit, and a long horse boot on his feet with deep tubes.

On the grass behind me was a chestnut-red horse, eating grass leisurely.

His fishing rod is a homemade bamboo sling, which is five or six meters long. The handle is tightly wrapped with black silk thread, and the entire fishing rod is coated with clean oil. It can be seen that he is a very particular person.

When people saw him carrying a bucket and fishing rod, they waved to him, saying hello, and then concentrated on catching fish.6

Use it and find another place to rinse the water, hook a small piece of fresh mutton I bought in the morning on the fishing hook, and throw it into the river. Then, take out the stool, sit down, light a cigarette and suck it slowly.

A fish is a process of emptying oneself, focusing all one's attention on the geese feathers floating with the ups and downs, and no longer thinking about those complicated things.

Before he could take a few cigars, he saw the float sinking suddenly. 6 Yongzhi knew that the one who ate so fiercely must be rainbow trout. He raised his hand hard, and the fish struggled suddenly, almost causing him to stagger.

The sound of the sound alarmed the British people there. He put away the fishing rod, picked up the net and ran toward him. He ran and shouted, "Tight, hold on." 6

After using it, he knew that the fish was at least one meter long and weighed at least ten kilograms. This was not something he could subdue with. He also retracted the fishing rod, took out scissors and cut the fish line with a click, and released the fish that had been hooked.

The British had already run to him and asked in surprise when he saw him doing this, "Why did you put it?"

"This fish is too big and the possibility of catching it is very small. Rather than wasting time, it's better to start over." 6

Use it to answer briefly.

The British shook his head: "How can you know if you don't work hard? The fun of fishing is the process of fighting with it, which is too unreasonable."

6 Use it to smile, too lazy to argue with him.

"Do you smoke?" 6 Yongzhi opened the cigarette box. Although the British man spoke aggressively, he was still an enthusiastic person.

"Thank you, don't smoke. The strange oriental man." The man refused the cigarette handed over by 6 Yongzhi, muttered, picked up the copy net and returned to his position. 6

I tied the hook line again and put it in the water again. After a while, the fish got hooked again. This time it was a piece of rainbow trout with more than two kilograms.

Not long after, I caught three fish in a row, all of which were about two or three pounds. The British people there just caught two very small fish.

6Usezhi to pack up the fishing gear, get up and go home.

The man looked surprised again: "You are so lucky, why don't you continue to deal with the guy?"

While it’s fresh, hurry home and put it in the pot. It’s enough to have this today.” 6 Yongzhi shook the bucket in his hand.

The man shook his head again: "It's unreasonable. You orientals are really weird. You can catch them and raise them."

The joy of fishing lies in the process, not in the viewing."6

He used his words to greet him. This guy really hates him. He always keeps talking about Oriental people and treats people from other races as monsters."

I still have some bait here, do you want it? It depends on your luck."

People used some small fish, half-dead. When they used it, they saw that there was still some fresh mutton, so they kindly asked him.

"No. I just haven't waited for the fish to arrive yet."

The man arrogantly refused.

"Arrogant British man." 6 Yongzhi smiled and said a Chinese sentence, and then said, "It's easy to catch here, I'll try it."

He drove him more than one meter away, and he used it to hang the fishing hook on the mutton and threw it into the river. Soon, a trout weighing more than three pounds began to catch it.

"Look, let me tell you. This is a good location to catch." 6 Use Zhi to carefully remove the trout and throw it into the water. He casually threw the thin shredded mutton into the river. "...

Let's go, you keep holding on."

6 He went home despite the angry eyes of the man and hummed a song.

Two days ago, I saw that guy again in the old place.

Back to that guy changed to his position yesterday, and the bait was also changed to shredded mutton. However, he still got nothing when he looked.6

He greeted him from afar, and then stood at his position yesterday and hooked. In the morning, he saw a lot of live shrimps on the market, so he bought more than a dozen of them as fishing bait.

In less than an hour, I caught three more rainbow trout with about three kilograms. And that guy just caught less than half a kilogram of fish. 6

Only then did he find out his problem? His fishing rod is too long and he catches too far. Trout usually likes to stay in places with ripples and lurk in aquatic plants to prey on fish and shrimps.

Therefore, the key to fishing for trout is to put the hook down on the edge of the aquatic plants.

It's such a trick, and he will never think of it if he doesn't say it out loud."

It is rare to find such a good opportunity. I feel very happy when I see him dissatisfied every day. Why should I tell him such a good entertainment program?" 6

Yongzhi said to Xiaomali."

You are so inauthentic." Xiao Mali smiled, eating sashimi made of trout.

"I'll change your taste tomorrow." 6 Yongzhi said as he looked at the sashimi left on the plate. He had been sashimi for several consecutive days, braised trout, and he felt a little tired of it.

The two days were just dawn, and I arrived at the market after using it. I bought a pair of sheep liver. Not many people eat sheep liver here, and most people don’t know how to make it to get rid of the smell.

The British lack imagination in diet, and have never produced any famous dishes in the UK since ancient times. However, France, which is across the sea, has become a country of food. Perhaps this is a constraint of the geographical environment?

When you get home, cut the sheep liver into small pieces. Then, put it on a small iron hook tied with a thin rope.

Drive to the Thames River, put more than a dozen hooks tied with such thin ropes into the river, and tie the other end to a tree or a short wooden stick by the river to fix it.

I drove back, took Daole, and started a routine morning jogging and shopping for vegetables. After breakfast, I drove slowly and carried the bucket to the river.

A few days ago, when fishing, he found that long strings of fine bubbles often appeared in the water plants and on the riverside. He judged that this should be a turtle in the water. This animal looked ugly, but it was extremely delicious. The British didn't know how to deal with it and make it a delicious ingredient.

Come on, it was probably after the British man had eaten this delicious food in Hong Kong that he never knew the key points when he went back to imitate it. So he made collagen soup with cow scalp and named it himself the imitation soup. This is also a famous dish in the dark British cuisine.

Five balls of fish were harvested from more than a dozen hooks, all weighing three or four pounds each. This one was a bit too many, but there was no way out. As long as this guy bit the hook in his mouth, it would not spit it out. Then put it back into the water, it would be dead.

6 Yongzhi put away all the hooks and was about to go home with the bucket, the British man came. Seeing 6 Yongzhi carrying the heavy bucket, he finally couldn't help but feel curious. He ran over and asked, "

Can this thing be eaten?"

"The most fresh and tender delicacy in the world."6

Yongzhi took the bucket with a high spirit.
