After knowing Brother Cheng is a big shot, a few newly-t fishing buddies at the table noticeably beca more respectful towards him.
However, Zhang Yang remained neither overly enthusiastic nor indifferent, maintaining the sa state of conversation, modest yet courteous as before.
The outdoor al with food and drink was quickly finished, and after greeting Brother Cheng and the others, Zhang Yang took out a napkin to wipe his mouth, then stood up to return to his fishing spot.
Having drunk a little, his whole body ward up, and after returning to the fishing deck, Zhang Yang went back to casting his rod thodically.
After changing the bait and casting it into the fishing spot, Zhang Yang turned his head and greeted the fishing friend next door who didn't join the al: "Hey, did you get any bites?"
The other person replied, "I caught two fish! But the bites are slow!"
"Oh, oh!" Zhang Yang nodded, roughly making a judgnt in his mind.
Thanks to replenishing the fishing spot with a lot of Rice for Making Wine before the al, although Zhang Yang left for over half an hour to eat, the spot wasn't empty.
With the second cast after changing the bait, Zhang Yang soon saw a bite again.
With bites, the casting and catching rhythm beca relatively fast. Gradually, Zhang Yang's side transitioned from slow to a faster pace of catching fish.
Around 1:30 in the afternoon, the frequency of bites increased significantly.
As Zhang Yang started catching fish in succession, the other fishing buddies on the sa bank had much worse luck, as they replenished their spots late, didn't bring long rods, and except for two guys who caught seven or eight fish, a few didn't even start fishing on the East Bank.
Seeing Zhang Yang catching fish faster and faster nearby, the other fishing buddies couldn't hold it any longer.
One fellow who had lunch with Zhang Yang put down his fishing rod and walked over to Zhang Yang.
"Hey Zhang Yang, what bait are you using? Can you spare so for to try? I've been here a while, replenished the spot a lot, but no bites!"
To such polite fishing buddies, Zhang Yang was happy to make friends, turning around and pointing to the bait basin behind him: "I'm using pulling bait and pure red worm! The spot is Rice for Making Wine!
You brought worms, right? If you did, then it's not the bait. Xiao Yi, give him a bag of Rice for Making Wine to try!
We've got plenty in the car, take more bags, and share them with everyone!"
"Sure!" Xiao Yi replied, turned around, and headed towards the van. A mont later, he returned with a bag full of Rice for Making Wine.
Nowadays, Zhang Yang's quite well-off, no longer the penny-pinching beginner at Wen River, giving away just trial packs. What he brings now are one-pound packs taken from the warehouse, usually given away starting from a full bag.
Seeing Zhang Yang giving out bait, a few other fishing buddies gathered around.
Practical results are the best advertisent. When you have no bites, and others are constantly catching, you can't help but be convinced!
So, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yi distributed over ten bags of trial size Rice for Making Wine, and Zhang Yang also showed everyone how to use napkins to wrap the Rice for Making Wine and bait the spot, getting the fishing buddies active quickly.
This is when the dominance of the upgraded Rice for Making Wine beca clear.
Initially, everyone had sparse bites, but after using the Rice for Making Wine from Zhang Yang to replenish their spots, within less than half an hour, the number of bites visibly increased.
By around 3 PM, almost all of the ten or so fishing buddies on the East Bank who replenished their spots experienced a small wave of fish-catching success.
Brother Cheng, who was at the southern bank's midsection, also ca over, took a bag of Rice for Making Wine to replenish his spot, and shortly after also started catching fish in succession.
With Zhang Yang's indirect influence and intervention, the sluggish fishing conditions at the reservoir in the morning turned around in the afternoon. By evening, even those who caught less had over twenty pounds of fish.
As for Zhang Yang, his fish keeper was filled halfway, and he caught a solid sixty to seventy pounds of big crucian carp without fail.
Nearing 5:30, as it started to get dark, Zhang Yang decided to pack up and drove the van to the top of the dam to tidy up his gear.
Seeing Zhang Yang preparing to leave, Brother Cheng also ca over: "Packing up to leave?"
Zhang Yang nodded and grinned: "Yeah, packing up. It's getting late, and still takes more than an hour to get back!"
"Do you have more Rice for Making Wine for bait in your car? Sell ten or twenty pounds! That stuff is very powerful!"
"No more left, brought out half a box, and it's all been shared out! How about you leave an address, and I'll send you so via courier later!"
"Deal! Here's my number for you to jot down! 139..."
The two exchanged phone numbers, and Brother Cheng sent his address to Zhang Yang. Seeing it was getting late, Brother Cheng also packed up his gear.
There was still one last thing to do before leaving – during lunch, Tiger Lin promised each person a free-range chicken!
This owner could stretch and shrink, so by the ti Zhang Yang and the others reached the small house, the free-range chickens were already caught – genuine free-range roosters, stuffed into a woven bag and tossed into the trunk. After greeting the new friends, they headed ho!
Driving back to the store, it was already dark. With so many big crucian carp, more than he could eat, Zhang Yang went straight to the fish market with the catch.
Wild crucian carp sold for eight yuan a pound, and as usual, the whole lot was bought by the familiar seafood vendor.
After weighing and bustling around, the total weight of the catch ca to 65.5 pounds, earning him over 500 yuan from selling the fish.
With the catch money in hand, Zhang Yang and Xiao Yi split it equally, and Zhang Yang also took the little rooster ho.
The next morning, Xiao Yi roughly edited yesterday's video material into a rough cut, and as usual, checked quickly to make sure there were no issues before adding subtitles and uploading it directly.
