Chapter 249 Leisure Time
Chapter 249 Leisure Time
jingle……
Bai Baoshan woke up from his dream.
I looked at the alarm clock.
Today is Sunday. I remember that I didn’t set the alarm last night. What does it mean to remember this?
"Um... bro, is the alarm ringing?"
"Yeah, it rang. Did you set the time?"
"I made an appointment with my classmates this morning to go to Xiangshan Park and Botanical Gardens."
"Then why don't you get up? Do you need to prepare anything?"
"Just a little food and a water bottle."
"Okay, get up, I'll prepare it for you.
Isn't there a fruit bread? Take it with you, a small kettle, and a small lunch box with some food in it."
"Hehe...Okay, I'll listen to you, brother."
The two got up, washed up, and made some breakfast.
Just when everything was ready, someone knocked on the door. Qiao Yun went to open it and saw several classmates coming over.
That's perfect, put all the things in the small bag and let Qiao Yun carry it.
After a group of half-grown children left, Bai Baoshan was left alone at home.
As for what...
He stroked his chin and decided to go fishing.
Haven't been fishing for a long time.
If we don’t fish until the end of the month, it will be time for a big catch.
By then, it will be full of small fish.
The fish in Shichahai are caught every year.
After catching them, if you want to catch a fish weighing one pound, it’s useless. Any fish weighing more than half a pound is a big fish.
As for catching some king fish weighing dozens of kilograms, that's just wishful thinking.
As for why not fish earlier?
There are fish eggs in the fish's belly. If the fish is taken out, won't all the eggs be gone in the water?
The spawning period for fish is around April to September.
Leaving a two-month gap is just right.
He did what he said. He packed up his fishing rod and with a wave of his hand, dozens of earthworms appeared in an iron box.
Carry the small bucket and put it in the basket.
He pushed the car and went out.
"Baoshan, are you going fishing?"
"Well, I'm bored at home, so let's go fishing in Shichahai." Bai Baoshan ignored Yan Bugui who was watering the flowers. He locked the door and pushed the cart out of the yard.
Yan Bugui smacked his lips, thought for a moment, then turned around and went back into the house.
He took out the fishing rod and bucket, moved a few flower pots to the yard, dug underneath with a shovel, dug out a dozen earthworms, and went out with the things.
But he was just walking there, with two steamed buns in his arms.
This is the attitude of relying on two steamed buns to eat for a day.
After turning the corner and reaching the bridge, there is Beihai on one side and Qianhai on the other.
Look at the situation on both sides.
I went to the west coast of the North Sea.
It’s still better at this time. Except for some special places that ordinary people can’t enter, other places are basically unobstructed.
In two years, Beihai will be closed and no longer open to the outside world. Those who understand will understand.
We found a deserted place and parked the car by the lake.
The fishing rod, bucket, small stool, small square stool and small teapot are all put in place and ready to go.
Put on the bait and throw it out.
Anyway, we are just here to have fun and don't expect to catch any fish, but it can be considered as an opportunity to cultivate our sentiments.
I took out a book, some melon seeds and dried fruits from my bag and placed them on the small square stool.
Fishing should be a ritual.
Qiao Yun was holding a small kettle. She first made a pot of tea, drank a cup, hung a worm on it, and threw it out.
I washed my hands, picked up a book, and without caring whether the fish would take the bait, I drank tea and read the book, occasionally putting two melon seeds and a dried fruit in my mouth.
Enjoying the autumn breeze.
It’s a rare leisure time, so comfortable.
Perhaps only Bai Baoshan feels so comfortable.
Except for some old men, most of the people fishing around here look like they have suffered a lot and have a deep hatred.
I wish I could catch a fish weighing hundreds of kilograms with one rod.
As for the old man, I didn’t find anything special, and there would never be an old man wandering around in a Zhongshan suit.
Those old men who came out in cars with bodyguards were all fishing in Zhonghai, because the fish there basically weighed about one kilogram.
Not too big, not too small.
It’s too big. If it pulls the old leader into the water, who will be responsible?
Fishing is not fun when you are too young. The old leader did not enjoy the fun of fishing. Who is responsible?
So a fish of 1 to 2 kilograms is just right.
As for whether there are people coming here to fish, Bai Baoshan doesn’t know. Maybe there are. Maybe there are leaders who have dozens of bicycle tickets in their pockets and just throw them out?
It’s a pity that Bai Baoshan didn’t have that luck.
However, I didn't have that kind of luck. My luck in fishing seemed to be pretty good. I noticed the movement of the float out of the corner of my eye, so I lifted the fishing rod and suddenly, a fish as big as an eight-foot-long fish was pulled up.
Well, it was an unexpected result.
This can be considered a harvest, right? I picked the fish and put it in a bucket, then hung a worm on it and continued fishing.
Maybe the fish wanted to find Bai Baoshan. As soon as the hook was cast and a cup of tea was finished, the float started moving again.
It was a small grass carp weighing a little over three taels.
Bai Baoshan threw it into the bucket, put a worm on it, cast the hook, and continued fishing.
Two fish were pulled up in succession. Some people here had already noticed it. Although they didn't come over here, they were all looking over here.
Drink a cup of tea and put a walnut kernel in your mouth.
After chewing twice, the float began to shake again. Are there so many fish here? Or are the fish here so greedy that they have never seen earthworms before?
I have to... I am deliberately not allowing myself to read.
When I lifted the rod, it was a little difficult. I caught a crucian carp weighing about half a pound.
It can be considered a good thing, as this thing never grows big.
I cast the hook out again and washed my hands.
Pour hot water into the teapot.
Continue drinking tea and reading.
It was quiet this time. There was no earthworm on the hook. If I caught a fish again, I would be damned.
Several people have already come over here, about 2 meters away from Bai Baoshan.
Maybe it was because of Bai Baoshan's behavior that he looked a little unfamiliar, so people who didn't know him would think he was that second-generation kid who came here to have fun.
So no one came near.
I drank too much tea and felt drunk, so I chewed some dried meat, which was good.
As for Yan Bugui, after searching for Bai Baoshan but failing to find him, he went to Houhai by himself.
The water there is better than here, the fish are bigger, and there are relatively more people.
Since there was no one he knew to disturb him, Bai Baoshan was able to spend the entire morning in peace and quiet.
From time to time, people on the shore would talk about going to a restaurant and saying that the food was delicious.
I looked at my watch and it was already past 11 o'clock.
That’s perfect, I might as well try it myself. I didn’t know there was a restaurant here.
We packed up our things and threw away the fish, half a pound of it, into the North Sea.
After packing up my things, I put them in the bike and rode towards where those people were going. The environment here is pretty good. I will take Qiao Yun here for a walk when I have nothing to do in the evening.
There really is a restaurant here.
It says Fang Shan on it.
Fangshan Restaurant was moved from its original location (the north bank of Beihai Lake) to Yilan Hall on Qiongdao Island in 1959. The situation requires that you do not pay attention to these details.
It's pretty good, there are not too few people inside, but not too many either.
Bai Baoshan locked the door and walked in.
"Hello comrade, welcome to Fangshan Restaurant, how many of you are there?"
Not bad, there are rare reception staff.
"One, thank you. Give me a small table by the window."
"This way please."
The waiter took Bai Baoshan to a small window, where there was a small table that could seat four people.
"Comrade, this is the menu."
"It's quite complete. You have milk tea here. Let's have some milk tea first. The staple food is minced meat biscuits, small mixed flour steamed bread, and the vegetables are golden toad jade abalone, first-class tofu, roasted yellow sheep, and fried chicken breast.
Comrade, you can just order a soup. Four dishes and one soup, that's all."
"Okay comrade, the total is 8 yuan, and I'll give you a bowl of deer antler soup."
"Okay, that's it. Thank you, comrade."
"Serving the people, please wait."
Tsk tsk... look at the service attitude, and then look at other places, oh, there is no comparison. If all the services were like this, would there still be so many troubles?
After waiting for a while, the waiter brought a cup of milk tea.
It tastes pretty good. Although it doesn’t taste like the milk tea in later generations, it has a unique flavor. I’ll bring Qiao Yun to try it when I have time.
Bai Baoshan came out patting his stomach, the food tasted amazing. After asking, he found out that the dishes here were once imperial meals.
No wonder he is called Fangshan.
The price is not expensive, and the service is good and friendly.
I have to let Qiao Yun experience the taste of the imperial meal back then.
Fishing continued in the afternoon.
However, when Bai Baoshan arrived at the place in the morning, there were already several people occupying the space.
Can only find one.
