Chapter 261 - 261 260 Another Experiment

261: Chapter 260: Another Experiment 261: Chapter 260: Another Experiment “Now that there are no outsiders at the table, come clean, Yue Feng, what secret weapon did you use?

You kept getting big bites, one after the other, and Yang Ming on your right, who used your bait, also caught a lot!”

“Heh heh, I’ve been experimenting with some Musk Wine!

Once I’ve figured it out, I’ll send you a bottle!” Yue Feng said with a sheepish smile, telling the truth.

“Come on, Feng, you can’t be doing that, only giving a bottle to Lu?

I strongly demand that whoever sees it gets a share!” Qiangzi muttered.

“Alright, alright, everyone will get some.

It’s not that rare of a thing.

Is it really worth making such a fuss?

I got the musk from Liu Fengnian!

We’re all brothers here; of course, you’ll all get to use it!”

“That’s more like it.

In light of your generosity, Feng, I think we should all have a drink together.”

…

Having found a topic and a point of focus, the meal with the little chicken was enjoyed by all.

Driving, Yue Feng only symbolically drank a little beer, while the others were more unrestrained, toasting and drinking.

The meal started at half-past twelve and continued until almost two o’clock.

After leaving Dongxia Village Fishing Ground, Qiangzi and Liu Fengnian didn’t go home but directly drove to Yue Feng’s shop.

No need to talk about anything else first; they had to check out the Musk Wine that had contributed to today’s success.

Once at the shop and having Yue Feng take out the prepared Musk Wine to pour each a bottle, Liu Fengnian held it in his hand and scrutinized it for a while before finally speaking languidly.

“Is this the stuff that let you catch nearly six hundred pounds this morning?

Doesn’t look like anything special?”

Liu Fengnian wasn’t trying to be disparaging when he said this.

To be fair, the appearance of the Musk Wine that Yue Feng had prepared really wasn’t anything to write home about.

The color was quite pale, with just a hint of yellow.

Carefully dripping a drop onto his hand and taking a whiff, he could detect a very faint scent of herbal medicine.

As for the musk aroma, that was harder to detect.

Seeing Liu’s question, Yue Feng also dropped a bit on his palm, rubbed his hands together crosswise, and, after the alcohol had evaporated, brought his palm close to Liu Fengnian’s nose for him to smell.

After the smell of the alcohol and the herbal medicine had dissipated, the musk scent emerged, a pungent and somewhat malodorous odor mingled with the herbal fragrance, creating a very unique aroma profile.

Yue Feng said, “I didn’t expect this stuff to work so well either.

I was livestreaming this morning, and in front of everyone, I demonstrated my Bait Opening with the medicinal addition.

I did a comparative experiment!

What President Lu said was true, without the medicine, normal bait didn’t attract many bites; I had to wait ages for hesitant nibbles, and the bites were really indecisive!

Once I changed to the medicated bait, the bites were on another level entirely, big bites, one or two at a time, the improvement was immediate!!”

“So, you’re saying the effect was quite noticeable then?”

“I can’t guarantee it for other fishing situations, but for today’s spot, the effect was very clear.

The guy on my right, who asked for some of the medicated ragworm, caught over a hundred pounds by himself, and he was right next to my spot.

Otherwise, I reckon he would have caught even more!”

“That’s easy then, let’s have some tea and around four or five o’clock in the evening, we’ll find a nearby covert fishing spot to test.

If this stuff is really that kick-ass, you’re going to be rich!

The business potential is immeasurable!”

“Alright, let’s try again!!!”

Come evening, just after five, Yue Feng, Liu Fengnian, and Qiangzi went to the Dong Family’s Big Pit nearby.

Rice Wine had played many games in the spring with Liu Fengnian and the others at the Dong Family’s big Black Pit.

In spring, the price of crucian carp was low, and they stocked crucian carp, but now the price has increased, and they no longer stock crucian carp.

The fish stocked were still carp, but because the fishing ground was relatively small, using a 3.6-meter rod to fish for carp felt a bit constrained.

Normally, fishing at this pit costs between 150-200 yuan, and they didn’t stock many fish, so Yue Feng and Liu Fengnian hadn’t been here for a while.

The pit boss mentioned that they had stocked 1500 jin of fish yesterday, and around 900 jin were caught, leaving about 1000 jin including the old stock.

For a small pit with only about thirty fishing spots, a stock of 1000 jin was a decent density.

Coming to fish with the intention of testing out the effects of Medicinal Wine, and also to sneak away, Yue Feng and Qiangzi were quite casual about it.

Yue Feng snagged about six hundred jin of fish, and instead of fishing at night, he shared a rod with Qiangzi, while Liu Fengnian switched to a slightly more distant spot in the southwest corner.

There was quite an anticipation when they started fishing, but after a while, they realized it wasn’t as good as expected.

From the control experiment, adding Medicinal Wine made the bites more decisive, but there wasn’t a frenzied feeding frenzy that they had anticipated, and even without alcohol, the fish were biting.

They fished from a little past six in the evening until eleven, when fish bites all but stopped, and Liu Fengnian gave a shout, and they packed up and left.

With two rods, Qiangzi sold 28 jin of fish, Liu Fengnian sold 31 jin, and with eighty yuan for the fishing fee, they made a small profit.

Driving back, they didn’t rush to disperse and head home.

Instead, they found a small barbecue restaurant in town, had a bite to eat, and discussed the trial fishing.

“The stuff does have an effect, you can tell from the way they bite, but it’s not as exaggerated as you guys said it would be during the day!” Liu Fengnian offered his assessment.

“Could it be related to the fish density in the pit?

If there aren’t many fish, maybe Little Dong wasn’t entirely truthful!” Qiangzi asked.

“That’s possible!

Let’s find another place to test this, ideally where there’s a slightly higher density!”

Yue Feng had a brainwave, “That’s easy to handle; I’ll go to Dongxia Village again tomorrow and sneak away for a session.

About three thousand and change were caught today, so there’s still at least two thousand jin of fish in the pond!”

“That works!”

…

Early the next morning, Yue Feng got up early and rushed to Dongxia Village with Qiangzi.

Today’s sneaking away was going to be more aggressive.

From six-thirty in the morning until eleven, Yue Feng caught 98 jin of fish and Qiangzi also caught over eighty jin.

The two were successfully walking away with their profits.

Now, the experimental results were pretty clear.

At least in Dongxia Village’s pit, Yue Feng’s Musk Herbal Wine was effective; even sneaking away, he could catch nearly a hundred jin.

After posting the photos of the catch to the angler group again, it left the group members in awe.

Regular and sneaky fishing one after the other had significant promotional effects.

In the following days, Yue Feng’s WeChat began to receive friend requests from local Black Pit anglers every few days, and more and more unfamiliar faces started to show up at the store.

In response to the influx of new Black Pit customers, Yue Feng specifically mixed up Yellow Powdered Bomb and Hand Food for carp, holding off on selling Musk Wine due to limited quantities.

However, to ensure effectiveness, he soaked some Rice Wine in Medicinal Wine and mixed it into the bait.

Following up on feedback, the results were extremely good.

Someone might ask, wouldn’t soaking Rice Wine in Musk Wine require a large amount?

This is a misconception, Yue Feng concluded from simple calculations that to ensure effective addition, for ten jin of Rice Wine, just two liang of Herbal Wine sufficed.
