80: Chapter 80 Delivering Food
80 -80 Delivering Food
Fishing at the reservoir, if you want to enjoy it properly, actually requires paying attention to a lot of things, such as the oft-discussed selection of a fishing spot.
How long the rod should be and roughly how deep the water you plan to fish in, then what the underwater terrain is like. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Whether it’s a relatively flat area or a terrain with complex features like ravines and uneven ground, there are certain preferences for targeting different species of fish.
If the target fish is crucian carp, during the season around May Day, using a 3.6-meter fishing rod to fish at a depth of about one and a half meters can yield a good catch.
It’s better if the underwater area is relatively flat and has some aquatic vegetation.
However, if the target fish is carp or larger grass carp or silver carp, then flat areas are not as beneficial as small terrains like ravines.
Larger fish, having lived longer, are more cautious and prefer to hide in places with some degree of concealment, such as piles of underwater debris or deep ravines, which are favored hiding spots for big fish.
Yue Feng walked around the gentle riverbank and gained a basic understanding of the surrounding water depth and general situation.
Overall, this fishing spot is considered quite ideal for fishing, whether targeting medium and small-sized crucian carp or baiting for larger fish, the location is quite appropriate.
In about half an hour, Yue Feng selected several suitable fishing spots and then asked about the rod lengths others were using.
Combining that with how far the carbon fishing platform extended over the water surface, he began to distribute bait to establish his spots.
The bait used for small crucian carp and large carp and grass carp also differ,
For the crucian carp, it’s generally small granular bait like rice wine and wheat kernels, but for the large carp, aged corn kernels are needed.
This time coming to fish, Yue Feng brought an entire large box of aged corn kernels, dedicating ten pounds of bait to each spot as a sign of respect.
Busy until past ten in the morning, Yue Feng had basically finished setting up his fishing spots, and Liu Fengnian’s camping work had also taken shape, only fine-tuning details remained.
Returning to the camp and taking a quick look around, Yue Feng knew that Liu Fengnian was definitely a pro.
The tent was set up on a slightly elevated flat ground, with a spare drainage ditch dug beside it.
The canopy and cooking equipment were well-organized, just awaiting the final setup of the stove before they were ready to go!
“The baiting’s pretty much done.
How are we handling lunch?” Yue Feng casually asked.
Before Liu Fengnian could answer, Ma Boqiang spoke up, “We don’t need to worry about lunch.
That friend of my dad called me just now, he’s arranged our meal and will personally deliver it!”
“Well, that’s great!
Otherwise, we’d have to start getting ready now!” Yue Feng nodded.
“You must be worn out from setting up the fishing spots, come and rest in the shade for a while.
After lunch, we’ll start the battle!” Liu Fengnian said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“Sure!” Yue Feng didn’t put on airs and settled down in the shade under the canopy, with no desire to move an inch.
Around eleven, an old silver-gray Jetta arrived at their campsite and a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties got out.
The middle-aged man looked tanned with a yellow T-shirt advertising fertilizer, rather unremarkable in appearance, but his eyes were bright and spirited, exuding vitality.
“Had some business in the county this morning, so I couldn’t come earlier.
Been busy all morning, are you hungry?
I had my wife make some home-cooked food, just make do with it.
If you like it, I’ll deliver it every day!”
Ma Boqiang looked over the middle-aged man and asked, “You must be Uncle Meng, right?
I’m Qiangzi!
Sorry to trouble you!”
“It’s no trouble at all; it’s our own reservoir.
Just pay attention to safety, and you’re welcome to everything else!” Master Meng was exceedingly generous.
“Well, thank you!
And honestly, after bustling all morning, I am getting a bit hungry!”
“If you’re hungry, let’s eat first!
There’s not much fancy food in this remote place, just stewed a free-range chicken and some home-style dishes.
It’s simple food, but it’ll do!”
Although Master Meng said this, the dishes he brought were actually pretty impressive: a big bowl of spicy stewed chicken, a sweet and sour carp, stir-fried tomatoes with clumsy chicken eggs, old vinegar peanuts, cucumber with pig’s head meat, and stir-fried asparagus.
Each dish was outstanding, and it was clear that he had put a lot of thought into the preparation.
“Wow, that smells so good!
Let’s all stop what we’re doing and eat!
Uncle Meng, do you have plans this afternoon, or can you join us for a drink?”
“I won’t join you.
I’ll leave as soon as I deliver the food; I’ve still got other things to take care of!” Master Meng shook his head and refused.
“Well, alright then!
Thanks for your trouble!”
After sending off Master Meng, Yue Feng and the others gathered around and quickly began eating.
The food was placed on Liu Fengnian’s folding table, and several of them opened beers.
They drank heartily, finishing two cases of beer.
“Tsk tsk, Qiangzi is really living the high life; having food delivered to him!
If we had known it’d be like this, we wouldn’t have needed to bring anything to cook ourselves!” Wei Liang said contentedly with oil running down his chin.
Liu Fengnian shook his head with a smile: “It’s nice enough that they delivered a meal for us, but we can’t bother them every day!
We’ll start cooking ourselves tonight.
Let’s not make it awkward for Qiangzi.
These are all favors!”
“No problem, if we like it I can just call them and have them prepare more, we can just pay for it!” Ma Boqiang said nonchalantly.
Though he said this, Yue Feng could tell that Qiangzi was also feeling a bit uncomfortable—it was already good enough to come and play, but to be looked after for three meals a day was a really big deal.
“So, what’s the plan after we finish eating?
It’s getting a bit hot at noon!
I doubt the fish will be biting much!” Yue Feng asked.
“Fish or no fish, let’s just get the rods out for a bit of fun!
After we finish eating and catch our breath, we can get started!”
“Ok!”
Not even twelve o’clock yet, and these animals couldn’t wait to grab their fishing boxes and rush to their spots.
The terrain was fairly flat, so the fishing spots for the five men were quite similar.
Yue Feng, carrying his Carbon Fishing Platform, took one of the spots left over by others and quickly got ready to start fishing.
At the spot Yue Feng was fishing, the bait was corn and beans, so he switched to a 7.2-meter pole, set up his Rod Holder, and began fishing.
There’s a saying that even immortals struggle to catch fish at noon, and during this time, the fish in the water barely bite.
It was past two o’clock, and Yue Feng, feeling resigned, shook his head and returned under the tent with its shade canopy.
With the weather hot and the bait not set yet, it clearly wasn’t smart to bask under the scorching sun, so Yue Feng decided to take a short rest and wait for the late afternoon to evening feeding window for the fish.
Having made up his mind, Yue Feng found a hammock Liu Fengnian had strung up between two trees and lay down.
He had just settled down for a moment when Wei Liang’s call came from the shore.
Got a bite!
