Chapter 656 - 656 643 The Unreliable Boss

656: Chapter 643: The Unreliable Boss 656: Chapter 643: The Unreliable Boss The Winter Fishing Hall emerged as a product of the industry’s development following the rise of outdoor Black Pit fishing.

They built high mounds of earth around a one or two-acre pond and then covered it with a steel-framed roof.

The roof was then treated with translucent, insulating materials, similar in principle to a large greenhouse for vegetables.

This structure ensures that the temperature inside the greenhouse remains much higher than outside, preventing the pond from freezing.

What was once untenable for outdoor fishing is now resolved; when winter cold made fishing impossible, brothers looking for a place to fish now have somewhere to go.

From Yue Feng’s fishing equipment store to Fang City, the GPS showed a distance of over sixty kilometers.

By car, it would take at most an hour to arrive.

Yue Feng, unable to contain himself any longer, packed several short rods, loaded the child into the car, and headed straight to the destination guided by the GPS.

Yue Feng had no recollection of this Winter Fishing Hall in Fang City; it wasn’t large, with only twenty fishing spots available.

Fishing was limited to 3-meter rods, starting at nine in the morning.

It was not yet eight o’clock, and many anglers were already outside making preparations before fishing commenced.

Having won the title of Fishing King, started a company, and appeared on TV, Yue Feng was basically a celebrity well-known to everyone in the local fishing community.

As soon as he got out of the car with his Fishing Box on his back, he was recognized by the anglers there.

“Holy crap, Teacher Yue Feng!

You’re here to fish in the greenhouse too?”

Yue Feng nodded and smiled, “Hello, I just couldn’t resist.

A friend told me about this Winter Fishing Hall opening up here, so I came to get my fix.

Where are you from, buddy?”

“I live nearby.

Do you have plans for lunch?

I’ve always enjoyed your shows!

Why don’t we have lunch together?”

Yue Feng politely shook his head, “No need for lunch, let’s see how the fishing goes first.

I’ve come all this way; I’d really like to catch some fish!

How’s the fish turnout here?”

“Since the opening, there have been three events, and the overall fish turnout has been okay, about sixty percent.

Did you bring ragworms?

You’re allowed to use worms here, we all fish with pure worm bait!”

“Today’s announcement said they’ve stocked carps, right?

You use pure worms for them too?”

“Yeah, for the first half-hour we target the main bait, then it’s mainly about anchoring the fish.

Pure worms work well!

Didn’t bring any?

The owner here has some.

Ask him, and if he’s sold out, I can give you half of mine!”

“I should have some; I’ll ask!” Yue Feng nodded and turned to find the owner, who was securing a cash pouch around his waist.

“Hello, Boss Zhang.

I’d like to buy some ragworms!” Yue Feng said courteously.

The owner of the Winter Fishing Hall was not tall, around 170 cm, with a face full of flesh and a protruding belly that made him look less than affable.

Boss Zhang sized up Yue Feng, “First time here?

Ragworms are sixty for a roll, thirty for half a roll.

How much do you want?”

Hearing the price, Yue Feng’s brows tightened slightly.

Although winter is the off-season for the store, live baits like ragworms and earthworms are always in stock for customers who partake in winter fishing.

This season, the normal wholesale price for ragworms is about forty, even the top-quality breeding worms only sell for forty-five.

Zhang was asking sixty, making a twenty-dollar profit per pound.

His prices were too steep.

“Those ragworms are quite pricey, aren’t they?” Yue Feng said calmly.

“That’s the price.

These things don’t keep long before they go bad; I’m charging for the risk.

That’s why I don’t stock much, and I only have two pounds left.

If you come later, they might be gone!” Boss Zhang said unhurriedly.

“Give me half a pound then!” Yue Feng didn’t want to argue too much; a bit more expensive or less didn’t matter to him.

Boss Zhang nodded, took out a roll of wet newspapers wrapped around some ragworms from a foam insulated box, broke it in half, and handed one half to Yue Feng.

Often dealing with ragworms at the store, Yue Feng weighed them in hand knowing instantly that the quantity was insufficient.

Including the weight of the newspaper, there were barely four ounces of worms.

The owner of this pit was seriously shady.

The high price isn’t the only issue, the cheating on weight simply confirms what I think of him.

Appearances reflect what’s inside; he’s not a genuine person.

Yue Feng didn’t bother to argue with him any further, paid the money, took the worms, and returned to his fishing spot.

For thirty yuan, he bought four ounces of bloodworms.

Yue Feng found a corner and got his bait and Loose Powder ready, and patiently waited.

They say the more famous you get, the more trouble it invites, and soon the news of Yue Feng’s visit to the Winter Fishing Hall spread among the anglers.

Quite a few people came over to take photos with Yue Feng, some added him as a friend, some asked for autographs, causing quite a stir.

But Yue Feng remained calm; he had handled hundreds of thousands in his live stream, so this was a small event by comparison.

The bloodworms he bought were turned by Yue Feng into pure meat Lure, just a fist-sized lump, and the rest was the usual sticky ragworm bait and Loose Powder, not knowing what the fish were like, Yue Feng could only play it by ear.

After a while, when everyone had arrived and the quota of twenty people was full, 1500 Carps at stake, Boss Zhang called everyone to start drawing lots.

Yue Feng drew a spot in the northeast corner, followed the crowd leisurely into the venue, and began his preparations.

From the moment she got off the car, Ken had been wrapped up tightly and acting as a loyal little follower, not letting her guard down even at the fishing spot.

If she were recognized, the scene would certainly be more exaggerated than Yue Feng’s, but with a hat, a mask, and a down jacket, nobody recognized her.

While Yue Feng was setting up for his fishing, Ken also finished setting up the live broadcasting equipment.

The indoor fishing drone was obviously not an option; Yue Feng used his phone fitted with a lens kit, which was sufficient.

There was still some time before the official start of fishing, but Yue Feng’s live room was already connected.

Ken craftily typed in a room title “First taste of Winter Fishing Hall, indoor Carp venue”.

There aren’t many operators running Winter Fishing Halls nationwide, and the room title offers quite the temptation to anglers idle during winter with nowhere to fish.

Soon, the audience in the live stream room easily surpassed five thousand, and it was still rapidly increasing.

“Front row seats, where is Feng Bro fishing?”

“What is this Winter Fishing Hall?

Can you even fish indoors?”

“Haven’t fished in a long time, I’m getting itchy hands!”

Yue Feng smiled, “Hello everyone, I’m Yue Feng.

Today we’re at a new indoor fishing venue in Fang City that has just opened.

The fee is 240 yuan, with 1500 jin of Carp, twenty people fishing!

We’ve already finished drawing lots, and we drew number eight, situated at the northeast corner of the North Shore!”

“Can you fish at an indoor venue?

Is it cold?”

“Damn, I haven’t fished for more than two months, my hands are itching.

Is the fishing good at this place?

Even if it’s not, I might go check it out, I’m just so restless!”

“How long are the rods, they can’t be too long for an indoor venue, right?”

Yue Feng: “The limit is three meters, we’re going straight for three meters!

For such a small place with such short rods, when fishing for Carp, there’s not much technique to talk about, let alone talking about the feeding area.

It’s my first time here, with no idea about the fish situation, so let’s just see how it goes!

I really came out to fish because I was getting restless!”

While Yue Feng was interacting with the viewers in his live stream, Boss Zhang ambled over.
