Siheyuan: How dare I mess with a man who is an expert in men's health?

Cao Anping came to Yuyuantan again.

When I looked up, I was surprised to see that the shore was packed with people.

If you are not careful, the fishing lines can easily get tangled when you cast the rod.

He somewhat regretted coming here. It was upsetting to see this, but since he couldn't change anything, he might as well play ostrich and out of sight, out of mind.

Shichahai had been damaged once, so there were basically no big fish left. I guess there weren't many people here, so it was a good way to kill time, so it was a waste of time to travel so far.

Cao Anping didn't want to squeeze with these people and was about to go back home. At this time, he heard a commotion coming from the distant bay.

When he heard the voice, he thought it was quite familiar and couldn't help but want to go over to see what was going on.

When we got closer, we found that there were very few people in this section of the lake, and it seemed that those old men had taken up the space.

Cao Anping took a closer look and recognized that they were Mr. Bai and his fishing friends.

He had previously given two bags of fishing bait to a few people and was invited to go fishing together, but he declined because the weather was too cold before the New Year and he didn't want to go out.

Cao Anping frowned and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "These old guys, they won't rely on their status and be so domineering even when fishing, right?

They have enough food and drink, so why do they occupy such a large area? Aren't they competing for food with the poor people?'

Cao Anping doesn't have any lofty ideals, nor will he fearlessly help everyone, but he certainly won't affect other people's livelihoods for his own interests.

But then he shook his head and denied his idea, because in his impression, these people were quite good and would not do such a thing.

The character of several old men was suspected, but they were completely unaware of it. Old Bai was still happily showing off his victory: "Haha... red carp! A good start!

What did I say? I'll open first today. You all lost, so remember to owe me a pack of cigarettes!"

An old man replied sourly: "I know, I know, why are you so proud? You can catch fish because of the good bait.

Don't forget, you went fishing three times before, but you had to buy fish twice before you could report back!"

Mr. Bai was not happy and retorted, "Hey! You old Zhu, why are you bringing up old grudges again?

You also used the bait sent by Doctor Cao. Today we are all on the same starting line, so don't make excuses."

Mr. Zhou, who was fishing nearby, smiled and tried to smooth things over: "You two old fellows, what is there to argue about?

It was a great start for Old White, so we have to compete to see who can catch the biggest fish."

Old Zhou was the grandfather of Zhou Gen who got married some time ago. After he cursed with a smile, he happened to see Cao Anping walking over.

His eyes lit up and he called out loudly, "Doctor Cao is here!

You heard it all, right? With Lao Bai's expression, don't give him bait anymore.

Otherwise, he has no self-awareness of his own skills.”

Upon hearing this, the old men stopped staring at the float. They turned around and saw that it was Cao Anping, and greeted him enthusiastically.

It is impossible not to be enthusiastic, because during this period of time, they have experienced the real fun of fishing. It is not about sitting still and training the mind, but about constantly enjoying the pleasure of pulling the rod.

These old men are all smart people and have no shortage of resources. After trying out the bait and finding it useful, they thought about cracking the secret recipe and preparing it, but the final effect was much worse.

After all, it was a fish attractant that was invented in later generations with the addition of technology and vitality, so they naturally couldn't understand it. They could only blame it on the special formula, so they all wanted to ask Cao Anping for some more.

Bai Lao was teased again, but he didn't seem embarrassed at all. He pulled Cao Anping to his side without any martial ethics and joked cheerfully:

"Oh! Doctor Cao, you finally came to fish. I called you several times, but you always stayed at home during the holidays.

What's going on? Young wives and girls are afraid to go out?

Come, come, sit next to me, it’s a good opportunity to exchange fishing experiences.”

Cao Anping would not give in to the elderly for joking, and immediately retorted angrily:

"It was so cold recently, and you guys are already grown up, be careful not to get frozen!

By the way, Mr. Bai, I heard that you have been a little arrogant in fishing recently, and you have won a lot of prizes. How about adding me today?"

These old guys are all very wealthy. If you happen to meet one of them, you have to seize the opportunity and get something good out of it.

Bai Lao was happy, thinking that since they were both using the same bait, how could they not be better than the youngsters? So he confidently agreed:

"Okay, but if you lose, I don't want any cigarettes or alcohol, so how about using the bait as a prize?"

When the others heard this, their eyes lit up and they all agreed.

Last time they said they wanted to exchange it, but Cao Anping gave them two bags, so each person got about three or four pounds of bait. There wasn't much left, but they didn't expect it to be delivered to their doorstep.

Cao Anping agreed readily, since he felt he had a good chance of winning.

While mixing the bait, he casually asked, "By the way, Mr. Bai, everyone's life has been difficult recently, and they are really trying every possible way to find food.

There are so many people fishing that you almost have to queue up. Why is there so few people here?"

Hearing this, Bai Lao glanced at Cao Anping and replied unhappily, "You have some hidden meaning in your words!

You must be cursing us old guys in your heart. We have enough food and clothes, but we are still occupying the toilet without doing anything, right? "

Cao Anping smiled awkwardly, thinking that these old guys were really smart and could see what he was thinking at a glance.

Bai Lao's expression became a little more serious, and he explained: "Do you think that those who come here to fish cannot get food?

Then you are totally wrong. If you pay a little attention to their clothes, you can see that they are all similar to Teacher Yan in your college.

In fact, it is because the meat ration has been reduced and the value of fish has greatly increased that so many people come to fish. Those people who catch fish sell them secretly if they can.

People who really don’t have enough food rarely go fishing. Do you know why?”

This surprised Cao Anping, as he had never looked at the issue from this perspective before.

The reason may be that he has not had much contact with real poor people. After all, a family that can live in Nanluoguxiang is actually considered to have a rich life in that era.

Cao Anping thought for a moment and replied thoughtfully, "People who are so poor that they can't even get enough food will definitely think of other ways to get something. They won't spend their time gambling on fishing gains, right?"

After all, poor people usually try every means to earn food, and certainly don’t have time to practice fishing skills, so they rely purely on luck.

So it’s not just the very low efficiency of the tools that makes it impossible to catch big fish and makes the small fish unlucky.

Then it is very likely that you will sit by the lake for most of the day and still not gain enough to fill your stomach, and the cost-effectiveness is too low.

Mr. Bai looked like a teachable child and sighed, "Yes, who can't afford to eat would rely on fishing to support their family.

And we have never stopped anyone from fishing here.

If he was really waiting to put the fish in the pot, would he be afraid of a few old men like us who he didn't know?"

Cao Anping curled his lips and thought that this explanation made sense.

I am speechless about those fishermen who are crowded together. Why should I be afraid of these old guys? They just come here to grab the territory.
