At the beginning of the great cold, the weather was freezing and the water in the water tank was covered with thin ice, which broke with a crunching sound.

In previous years, after the severe cold, when the New Year was approaching, every household would prepare a few pieces of bacon and buy some New Year's goods.

The fish in winter are plump, and there are more fishing boats on the Changshui River, casting nets to catch fish, and harvesting a lot.

Father Wang and his four pillars went fishing by the river, and there were many people fishing like his family.

Each person occupies a port, throws the fishing line far away, and puts a fishing basket or net bag next to it.

What is different from other people is that the Wang family is very good at fishing no matter where they fish.

"Look at the ones on the opposite side. They have all caught several fish. There is no movement on my float. This fish mouth is too bad."

A few fishermen couldn't stand it any longer. They put their fishing rods on the wooden supports and walked to the side of Mr. Wang to watch with their hands.

As soon as Mr. Wang hooked his hook into the water, the paulownia tree disappeared and reappeared, quickly submerging into the water, and the fishing rod bent sharply.

I really want to use my hand to pull it. The pulling feeling must be very comfortable and make my hands itch.

"Sir, what kind of bait did you use? This fish is just like yours."

The young man had long discovered that the old man had a red, mud-like mass, and every time he took the bait, he would take a little of it and hang it on it.

There are many people fishing in the Changshui River. This man and his family act as if the fish belong to their own family.

"My own secret recipe. If you want it, just spend the money to buy a fingernail, and I'll make sure you can pull it off."

This is the purpose of Mr. Wang. The bait given to him by Fu Bao has magical power, and the fish in the river rush to grab the food.

“How much does a nail cap cost?”

Father Wang raised his two fingers: "Twenty cents, not even a penny less."

The visitor was shocked. Twenty cents can buy ten white-flour steamed buns, which is as much as the size of a fingernail.

Some people are short of money, some are haggling over the price, and some are just watching the fun.

Of course, there was also the first crab eater, a young man in white clothes, who was very curious about the red bait.

"Go and have a look and see how magical the bait that young man bought is really."

Several people put their hands behind their backs and stared at the bait in the young man's hand.

Lu Shangqin smelled the bait and almost spit it out. The smell was too fishy. What was it made of?

He was a little disgusted with the red stuff and resisted the urge to put his hand under his nose, but he still couldn't control his hand. He had to smell it again and feel disgusted. He didn't believe it was really so smelly.

"I'll take the bait, it makes me anxious."

A few middle-aged uncles on the side couldn't stand it any longer. They were anxious to see the results, so they took their time.

As soon as the bait entered the water, the fish flew to grab the food. The fishing rod in his hand shook violently and was bent out of shape. If it went down further, it would probably break.

"Quickly loosen up, it's a big fish, walk it! Walk it quickly!"

A veteran can tell the size of the fish just by looking at the quality of the fishing rod. Fortunately, this young man can tell that he is a wealthy owner, and the quality of the fishing rod is also very good.

The fishing rod in Lu Shangqin's hand is made of Cizhu, which has excellent toughness, tall, long tube, and thick green leaves. It is the best material for making fishing rods. The most important thing is that the fishing line is crystal clear, like sky silk, and full of toughness.

Lu Shangqin thought he could pull him up, but the force in the water was very strong, and every muscle in his body was exerting force.

After a while, there was a crisp sound from the fishing rod, which made the people around me breathe nervously. No one dared to pull the rod. If the force was too strong, the rod would break.

The fish in the water also showed their bodies, with their backs blue-grey and their belly white, shining silver.

"It's a grass carp! It's so big!"

"You walk it slowly. This fish is very energetic. You can only pull it up after walking it until it is exhausted."

The speaker was an experienced fisherman who knew all kinds of fish well.

Lu Shangqin's arms were sore. This fish was really difficult to handle.

There are already people who have been eager to get started, and it is a great pleasure to help walk the fish.

There were cheers and cheers, attracting many people to watch. They all said that they were really lucky. The fish weighed at least ten kilograms.

After walking for a long time, the fish did not get off the hook. It was slowly pulled to the shore in the direction of swimming. Someone had already prepared a net and was waiting.

After fishing for so long, I rarely see anyone catch such a big fish. It’s really strange! The young man is so lucky.

The fish in the net was dragged ashore, and someone took the fish out. It was as long as a man's arm, extremely plump, and its tail was still swinging.

Suddenly he struggled and fell to the ground. Everyone was so frightened that they held him down. If he fell into the water, they would slap themselves twice.

"This thing really works, buy it and try it."

"What good stuff?"

"You don't know, right? There is an old man selling fishing bait over there, and his fishing bait is so magical. As long as you use this bait, the fish will be reincarnated like a starving ghost. If you throw it into the water, it will bite the hook after just a few breaths.

"

"Is it really that powerful?"

Father Wang was surrounded by people. Some asked if they could pay on credit. Their hands were itching.

Father Wang shook his head and firmly refused to accept credit. If there was one credit, there would be a second one.

Some people couldn't bear it any longer, so they scraped together and bought a nail cap, which they shared among several people.

The four men of the Wang family stopped fishing and helped distribute the bait, handing over the money and delivering the goods.

After a while, the bait was passed around from ten to ten, and the coins were worth hundreds of coins.

Everyone who got the bait got something more or less, either carp, grass carp, crucian carp, bearded fish and some white stripes.

In short, the bait money is worth the harvest, and the Changshui River cheers one after another.

"Dad, this bait is too powerful. Why did you make it? It just smells fishy."

Father Wang was dissatisfied. Even if the things Fu Bao gave him were smelly, they were still good things. Without Fu Bao, where would the good things be to feed the family?

"This bait doesn't taste very good. How do you know the fish is eating it? Pack up your things and go home."

Wang Yonglin discovered that his father was now mysterious and mysterious. Why hadn't he discovered this good thing before?

"This money is really heavy. I have never seen so many copper coins in my life." Wang Yongping took off a coat to hold the coins. It was a heavy bag.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's buy some good ones for the children."

Several men walked on the road, grinning all the way, and they were happy from the inside out.

When passing by several families, Mr. Wang carried some fish and sent them over.

These people had helped his family in the past, especially when his wife had to endure hardships to raise the children alone.

At that time, the children in the family were very greedy and would often hang around in front of other people's houses, especially lying against the wall to watch when other people were eating.

Some mothers-in-law were kind-hearted and gave them some food. Things were pretty good at that time, and everyone was well fed and clothed.

Only Mr. Wang was separated from the family and started his own business from scratch. He relied on two hands to support several children. All the military pay after he retired was withheld by his family. Life was really difficult at that time.

"Ouch! Changyi, what are you doing? Take it back quickly."

Grandma Hua saw how precious the fish she was carrying was. She knew that it was not easy for the Wang family, so how could they dare to accept it?

"Sister Hua, just take it. We caught a lot today. Look, they're all fish. You can't eat them all. It's almost the end of the year. Let Fengping come back to eat."

Hua Po pouted, wondering what was going on, and waved her hand: "Sell it, it will cost a lot of money, keep it to buy food, your family has so many people."

"Take it, you have delivered all the boys of the Wang family, big and small. People who are close to each other are very kind. Life will be better for everyone in the future."

I heard from Mr. Wang that several other members of the family had given it away, so Grandma Hua accepted it. For such a big fish, the Wang family is also a good one.
