Listening to Mr. Liu's words that seemed to contain some profound meaning, the little cutie couldn't help but frown her delicate eyebrows.
“If you want to take something, you must give it first?”
After Liu Mingzhi raised the wine bag and took a sip of wine, he looked at the cute little girl with a slight frown and nodded gently.
"Yes, if you want to take something, you must first give it.
In this world, there are many things that must follow such a rule.
Just like our fishing, if you want the fish in the water to take the bait, you naturally have to hang bait on the hook to lure the fish in the water to take the initiative to bite the hook.
Only when the fish takes the initiative to bite the hook will you have a chance to catch the fish.
If you just drop an empty fishhook in the water, how can the fish in the water bite the hook?
After all, no fish should be interested in a cold iron fishhook.
According to legend, Jiang Taigong once fished with a straight hook on the banks of the Weishui River.
However, what Jiang Taigong was fishing for back then was not fish, but people!"
As Liu Mingzhi chuckled, he leaned over again and grabbed a handful of bait from the earthen jar at his feet and threw it into the river.
When the bait enters the water, ripples instantly appear on the river surface.
Young Master Liu withdrew his gaze, raised his wine bag and took a sip of wine, then turned his gaze to the cute face with a smile.
"Girl, now you should understand why, as a father, I sprinkle so much bait into the river, right?"
The little cutie looked at the seemingly meaningful look in her father's eyes. After a quick moment of contemplation, she nodded her head twice with a hint of understanding.
"Dad, you do this because you want to attract more fish to bite the hook."
Listening to the little cutie's answer, Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows slightly and gave her a teachable look, then nodded with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, hahahaha.
My dear daughter, you are right, the purpose of my father doing this is to attract more fish to bite the hook.
A fishhook and a bait can only attract one fish at best, or maybe three or five fish to bite the hook.
However, when you prepare enough bait, the situation will naturally be different.
The more bait there is, the more fish will be attracted, so you can catch more fish.
So, if you want to catch more fish, you have to be willing to give bait.
You want to ask for fish, but you are reluctant to take the bait. How can there be such a good thing in this world?
If you want to take it, you must first give it to it.
If you want to take it, you must give it first!"
After listening to Mr. Liu's eloquent remarks, the little cutie looked at her father's deep eyes and turned her head thoughtfully to look at the river ahead.
Seeing the little cutie's reaction, Young Master Liu smiled lightly and hung the wine bag in his hand back to his waist. He turned to look at the float floating on the water with a smile on his face.
As soon as Young Master Liu turned his head and looked towards the water, Liu Song ran straight towards the father and daughter with a smile on his face.
"Master, the earthworms are here."
After hearing this, Young Master Liu looked back at Liu Song, smiled lightly and pointed to the earthen pot at his feet.
"Put some of it inside, and send the rest to eldest brother, Cheng Kai, Ning Chao and the others."
"Okay, I understand, little one."
Liu Song nodded with a smile, bowed his head slightly and directly put several earthworms of different lengths in his right hand into the earthen jar on the ground.
"Master, put it away. The younger one will go to Master Song, General Cheng and the others first."
"Well, go ahead."
Liu Song was about to start walking towards Song Qing and the others, when he suddenly saw Mr. Liu's float moving on the river.
"Master, the fish is hooked, a fish is hooked."
Young Master Liu looked at the sinking float on the water and quickly grabbed the fishing rod sandwiched between his legs.
When he felt the force brought to him by the fish biting the hook under the water, an excited smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Hahaha, good guy, he is a big guy."
After Young Master Liu exclaimed excitedly, he hurriedly stood up from the small horse trap, held the fishing rod in his hands tightly and started fishing.
Seeing this situation, Liu Song didn't care to give earthworms to Song Qing, Cheng Kai and others, so he quickly picked up one side of the net and ran towards the river.
"Master, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, just slide towards the river little by little."
The movements of Liu Mingzhi, Little Cutie, and Liu Song immediately attracted the attention of Song Qing, Feng Buer, Cheng Kai, Han Peng and others.
They turned around and looked at the float where there was no movement. One by one, they bent down to fix the fishing rods and hurried towards Liu Dashao and the others.
"Third brother, after just a short while, you've already made a good start!"
"Commander, I'm afraid the fish caught by this movement is quite big. I just don't know what kind of fish I caught."
"Haha, hahaha, Lao Feng, no matter what kind of fish it is, we are all in for a treat today!"
Liu Mingzhi listened to the envious and happy words of Song Qing, Cheng Kai and the others. He turned to look at them with a smile, and then continued to slip behind the struggling big fish under the water with skillful movements.
"Hehehe, what Lao Ning said is right, it doesn't matter what kind of fish it is, as long as it can be eaten."
It doesn't take a while.
Young Master Liu pulled the fishing rod in his hand and backed away slowly. Liu Song quickly grabbed the big fish in the water and put it into the pocket of the net.
"Master, it's done."
Young Master Liu let out a long sigh of relief and walked straight towards Liu Song.
"Liu Song, what kind of fish did I catch, young master?"
After Liu Song removed the fishhook from the fish's mouth, he walked toward Liu Dashao and the others with a net containing the big fish in his hand with a smile on his face.
"Back to the young master, this should be, should be a carp."
Liu Mingzhi took a look at the large carp weighing about six or seven kilograms in the net, and nodded happily.
"Yes, it's carp."
After the little cutie stared at the big carp in the net for a few times, she looked up at Mr. Liu with a smile on his face.
"Dad, the carp here in the Great Food Kingdom look a little different from the carp in our Great Dragon Kingdom!"
After hearing what the little cutie said, Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, and sat on the little horse behind him with a smile.
"It's just a slight difference, it doesn't mean anything.
In our Dalong area, there are more or less differences between the Yellow River carp and the carp from the south and the carp from the north.
A small problem, just a small problem not worth mentioning."
"Oh, Yue'er knows."
Liu Mingzhi put new bait on the fishhook, threw the fishhook into the river again, and waved happily to Song Qing and others.
"Brothers, don't mess around and go back to fishing quickly.
Whether we brothers can have a full fish dinner for dinner today, I can’t do it by myself alone!”
