Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

"Uncle Zhuzi, just wait for my good news."

"When it comes to fishing, I, Old Yan, have never been defeated by anyone."

"I will definitely not let you go back empty-handed today."

The third uncle has now recovered. When he hears Cai Quanwu's flattery, he makes a promise with his mouth, but he feels very proud in his heart.

Yes, fishing still depends on Old Yan.

"I feel relieved with what you said, Teacher Yan."

"Okay then, let's go our separate ways."

"Teacher Yan, you have a seat. I still need to find a seat, so I won't say more."

Cai Quanwu said this, picked up his fishing gear and walked along the river towards a big tree.

The weather is good today, but the direct sunlight may be dazzling, so Cai Quanwu plans to find a shade under a tree to fish.

"You really don't know how to fish. There won't be any fish in that direction."

The third uncle looked at the direction Cai Quanwu went and muttered to himself.

The uncle went fishing in that direction several times, but didn't catch much.

The third uncle didn't think that Cai Quanwu could catch any fish there with his fishing skills.

Unless the blind cat catches a dead mouse, it's just luck.

Then I thought, if Mr. Cai couldn’t catch any fish, should I give him one to show off.

After thinking for a while, the third uncle decided that if Cai Quanwu failed to catch any fish, he would give him a small fish so that he would not be laughed at when he returned.

Well, that's it.

After thinking about this, the third uncle walked to the other side carrying his fishing gear and other things.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Cai Quanwu walked under the big tree, put his things away, took out the nesting materials he had brought with him, and threw them down.

To use the words of later anglers, if you don't bait a bait, you won't catch much.

Cai Quanwu followed the traditional practice of fishermen and made a nest.

After the nest was set, Cai Quanwu opened the bait and poured it into a small bowl he brought with him, then mixed it with water.

After mixing the bait and putting it aside, Cai Quanwu took out a cigarette and started smoking.

It takes time for bait and nesting materials to work.

After smoking a cigarette, Cai Quanwu picked up the fishing rod and tied the fishing line on it.

It’s true that as an experienced fisherman, the uncle made a really good fishing rod. There is even a special place in the front for tying the line, which shows that he put a lot of thought into it.

This made it easy for Cai Quanwu to tie the fishing line.

After tying the fishing line, Cai Quanwu picked up the fishing rod and began to adjust the float. It took him several times to get the float right.

Everything was ready, Cai Quanwu put up the bait and started fishing.

For the first ten minutes or so, no fish took the hook. After Cai Quanwu pulled the hook a dozen times, he thought that the fish had finally caught something and started to take bites.

Sure enough, this time, not long after Cai Quanwu threw the bait into the river, the float started moving.

When the float sank, Cai Quanwu didn't even lift the fishing rod and immediately knew he had caught a fish.

After trying to lift the fishing rod, Cai Quanwu felt that the fish did not have much strength, so he just lifted the rod up.

The fish surfaced and Cai Quanwu took a look. It was a crucian carp, weighing about 300 grams.

not bad.

After bringing the fish ashore, Cai Quanwu removed the fishhook, took out the wire he had brought with him, pried open the fish's gills, passed the wire through the gills, then put the fish into the river and tied the other end to a tree root on the shore.

This wire for threading fish was specially taken out by Cai Quanwu from the rental house. One end was folded into a large Z-shape by Cai Quanwu, and the other end can be passed through the fish's gills. This way, when the fish is put into the water, there is no need to worry about the fish running away, and the fish will not die easily.

Maybe the bait took effect, and Cai Quanwu caught fish one after another.

Among them, crucian carp is the most numerous, there are also carp, and some common miscellaneous fish, such as yellow thorn fish, whitebait, etc., but they are not big.

The largest one was a carp, which Cai Quanwu estimated to be about one and a half kilograms.

This wave of fishing lasted for more than an hour. By the end, the wire brought by Cai Quanwu was already full of fish.

It is estimated to be around ten pounds.

Cai Quanwu was very satisfied, feeling that today's trip was not in vain.

When this wave of fishing ended, Cai Quanwu took out his watch and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock.

By this time, Cai Quanwu's excitement had passed, and after the fishing season had passed, there were no fish biting the hook. The more he fished, the more bored Cai Quanwu felt.

When fishing, normal people think that the more fish bite the hook, the more excited they will be to fish. If there are no fish bites for a long time, they will feel bored and uninteresting.

The same is true for Tsai Quan-wu.

Just when I was thinking about whether I should go to the Third Uncle to have a look, the fishing rod in my hand suddenly sank and I almost pulled it out of Cai Quanwu's hand.

Cai Quanwu knew that he had caught a big fish, so he quickly grabbed the fishing rod.

At this time, Cai Quan’s brushless fishing video comes into play.

Following the example of the fisherman in the video, Cai Quanwu slowly started to catch the fish.

This stroll lasted nearly twenty minutes, and Cai Quanwu's arms were sore.

While playing with the fish, Cai Quanwu saw clearly that it was a big grass carp.

When the big grass carp had lost its strength to slip away, Cai Quanwu slowly pulled the fish towards the shore.

After pulling the fish to the shore, Cai Quanwu reached his hand into the water, grabbed the fish's gills with his fingers and lifted it up.

After picking it up, Cai Quanwu weighed it and estimated that the grass carp must have weighed about five or six kilograms.

One fish is half of what I just caught.

No wonder those anglers like to catch big fish.

Catching a big fish makes me happy.

After removing the fishhook, Cai Quanwu was at a loss as to where to put the big grass carp.

It is obviously inappropriate to put it on the wire.

After pondering for a while, Cai Quanwu remembered the fish bowing technique he had seen in a video, and quickly found the remaining fishing line from the things he had brought with him. He lit a match, burned a section of it, and used the fish bowing technique to scoop up the big grass carp.

It is said that in this way, fish can live for a long time even if they leave the water.

I don’t know whether it’s the real Tsai Quanwu or not.

After catching the big grass carp, Cai Quanwu lost interest in fishing even more.

Fishing is so tiring.

Since he had no interest in fishing, Cai Quanwu simply packed up his fishing rod, picked up his things, and walked towards the bicycle with the fish.

I came to the bicycle, put my things away, and shouted to the third uncle in the distance: "Teacher Yan, how is it?"

"It's okay, I caught some." The third uncle replied from a distance when he heard Cai Quanwu asking him.

"Oh, that's good."

"Teacher Yan, how long will you continue fishing? I don't want to fish anymore and I'm going back."

After hearing the third uncle say that he had caught some fish, Cai Quanwu expressed his thoughts.

If the third uncle was still in the Air Force, it would be difficult for Cai Quanwu to say this.

Otherwise, people will say that you have caught a fish, and you are ready to leave, but what about those who didn’t catch any fish?

"It's still early. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? You finally got out here. Go fish a little longer."

When the third uncle heard Cai Quanwu say that he wanted to go back, he began to persuade him.

After the third uncle finished his persuasion, he seemed to remember something and continued, "Did you catch any fish?"

"Just like you, I caught some fish."

Cai Quanwu did not tell the truth, for fear of offending the third uncle who was still fishing, so he imitated the third uncle's words.

"Then let's fish for a while." The voice of the uncle came again from a distance.

Seeing that the old man still wanted to fish, Cai Quanwu put the big grass carp next to the bicycle, took the fish skewered on wire to the river, and put the fish into the water to raise it.

After finishing, Cai Quanwu walked towards the third uncle.

After walking along the river for more than a minute, I arrived next to the third uncle.

At this time, the third uncle was staring at the fishing float intently.

Seeing Cai Quanwu coming over, the third uncle asked, "Why don't you fish anymore?"

"It's boring, it's just for fun. I don't have the patience to fish for a long time." Cai Quanwu said with a smile.

Hearing what Cai Quanwu said, the third uncle started to lecture Cai Quanwu.

"Uncle Zhuzi, let me tell you, you must be patient when fishing."

“Without patience, you won’t catch any fish.”

"Look at me, I've gained a lot in these few hours."

As the third uncle spoke, he pointed to the fish bucket he brought with him, meaning for Cai Quanwu to take a look to prove that what he said was true.
