Chapter 666 - 666 653 The 5000-Pound Cannon

666: Chapter 653: The 5000-Pound Cannon 666: Chapter 653: The 5000-Pound Cannon With a whopping 5,000 jin “Big Cannon,” and a full house of 20 anglers, each expected to catch around 250 jin.

That’s quite a lot of fish squeezed into a small pond of less than two mu.

The density was quite exaggerated, but so was the fee to fish there – nearly a thousand yuan per spot, not something the average wage earner could afford.

Despite that, early on the day of the “Bait Opening,” the entire Winter Fishing Hall was still bustling with people.

It was the weekend and many anglers were off work.

Even if they hadn’t signed up, they could still come to watch the fun and soak in the atmosphere.

By the time Yue Feng drove in, the parking lot inside was already full, and many people had parked their cars along the roadsides outside.

Just as he turned the corner at the intersection, Qiangzi saw the crowd in front of the Winter Fishing Hall and floored the accelerator.

“Brother Feng, isn’t this a bit too much?

Weren’t there only twenty fishing spots?

Why are there so many people!” Qiangzi scratched his head, poking his out of the car window.

Yue Feng nodded, “For fishing, watching the excitement, or maybe planning to poach in the afternoon!

Stop dawdling.

Drive up to the entrance and park.

Let’s get ready!

The weather is nice today, looking at it, it’s a day for a “Fish Guard massacre!”

“Damn!

I’m following your lead today!”

With such high popularity, Zhang Wenliang, the owner, was very excited.

Although the advertising boasted a stocking of 5,000 jin of fish, in reality, only 3,500 jin were put in, half of which were recycled fish.

Just from the fishing fees alone, he had collected 17,600 yuan.

With a full house, he had already broken even,

He could make some money off the difference in fish reclamation, plus the fees from poaching on Sunday afternoon.

If he played his cards right this event, he stood to make a tidy profit.

Three men and three cars parked outside the fishing venue.

Yue Feng and two youngsters got out of the car, unloaded their equipment, and headed straight for the courtyard.

Inspired by designs from a previous life’s Fishing Tackle Company, Yue Feng commissioned someone to create a foldable fishing cart.

He pulled it out from the trunk, unfolded it, and then loaded his fishing box, “Fish Guard,” rod bag, and various other accessories.

Everything could fit inside the folding cart, which could be easily pulled along in one go.

As devoted followers, Qiangzi and the plump Wang Meng also each acquired one.

The three of them made quite the entrance, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the courtyard.

“Yo, Teacher Yue Feng, is this some new fishing gear design of yours?

That little trolley is pretty cool!

How much is it?” A fellow angler who recognized Yue Feng approached him with familiarity and asked.

Yue Feng, “It’s not expensive, a bit over four hundred!

Just got a sample out, trying it first!

If there’s no issue, it’ll hit the market!

Are you fishing today too?”

“My friend signed up; I didn’t make it!

Just hanging around for fun!”

“Oh, I see.

Then I’m off to prepare the ‘Bait Opening.’ We’ll chat later if we get a chance!”

“Sure thing!”

After finding a spot in the courtyard to place their foldable carts, Yue Feng took out bait and bloodworms from his fishing box.

The three of them each had a jin of lively male spike worms, and in addition, Yue Feng also prepared a big basin of “Loose Bait.” Regardless of whether they would use it or not, he prepared it in advance, to save time in case the fish were biting well.

Seeing Yue Feng bringing his crew along, the boss Zhang Wenliang made a special round to look at the new foldable Black Pit cart, and pulled out a Red Plum cigarette to offer one to Yue Feng.

Zhang Wenliang, “Looking good, buddy.

Last time it was just rod cases like everyone else, and now you’ve upgraded to artillery!

How much for this contraption?

If the price is right, I might get one too, for carting fish outside, saves getting covered in fishy smell!”

Yue Feng waved it off, “Thanks, but I don’t smoke!

This thing costs a few hundred bucks, not on the market yet, just trying it out!”

“I see a lot of people greeting you in the courtyard.

Where did you strike it rich, pal?

Didn’t get the chance to ask last time!”

Yue Feng grinned, “Haha, can’t say I’ve struck it rich.

Just running a small shop, making ends meet!

When I’m free, I stream a bit of fishing!”

“Oh, I see.

There should be no problem with the fish today, all hand-picked, all top quality!” Zhang Wenliang, after hearing Yue Feng’s reply, didn’t feel like continuing the conversation and quickly changed the subject.

“That’s great!

Same fish as last time?

The output was really good last time; my arms were sore for days after catching fish!” While chatting, Yue Feng casually probed for information about the fish.

“No, the fish last time were hauled from the market!

This time we needed a lot, so we specifically went to the fish source!

Pure and fresh ‘Dajian’ carp!” Old Zhang didn’t even lift his eyelids as the lies rolled off his tongue effortlessly.

“Oh, I see, then I’ll prepare more bait!” Yue Feng nodded, smiling in agreement.

“Play around for a bit, I’m going to take another walk.

When it’s time for the draw, I’ve arranged for you guys to be up front!”

“Alright!”

Watching Boss Zhang leave, Yue Feng calmly mixed the Loose Bait evenly and handed some to the eager Qiangzi and Little Fatty next to him.

“Brother Feng, this boss seems alright, doesn’t he?” Qiangzi whispered after the man had left.

“Yeah, I think he’s pretty easygoing,” Little Fatty added.

Yue Feng shook his head, “Didn’t I tell you about what happened last time?

Stay alert!”

“Okay!”

After waiting a while longer, it was unconsciously getting close to 7:40, and Boss Zhang came over to the entrance of the Winter Fishing Hall with the draw box and the sign-up sheet.

“Time for the draw!

Hurry up, everyone!”

With a call, the anglers who had done their preparations gathered around.

Soon, names were being called for the draw.

Zhang Wenliang indeed didn’t deceive them about the order; they indeed moved Yue Feng and his group up front.

Yue Feng was called up as the fourth person.

Yue Feng strode forward, reached in without looking, and pulled out a ping-pong ball.

Number 10!

Seeing this number, a wave of regretful murmurs arose from the crowd behind him.

The large spot on the northeastern corner—what a prime Feng Shui spot!

They didn’t expect Yue Feng to draw it!

Following up, Qiangzi and Little Fatty also finished drawing their lots.

Little Fatty got number 6, and Qiangzi number 13, mediocre numbers at best.

With their numbers settled, the group rushed back inside, holding their gear like warriors charging in historical dramas.

Knowing that Boss Zhang wasn’t reliable, Yue Feng turned on his Bait Opening skill as soon as he entered and scanned the area.

Several large spots showed green, indicating fish presence, while at least half of the twenty spots displayed the grey status of few or no fish.

This alone made Yue Feng realize that the Pit Boss must be up to something; in a place averaging over two hundred catties per person, the fish density should be quite high.

With this in mind, Yue Feng nonchalantly took out a white zip-lock bag from his Fishing Box and, without hesitation, poured the powder inside into a basin of fresh water he had just prepared.

After stirring it a few times, he set it aside and secretly poured some into the pit when no one was paying attention.

With over ten minutes left before the start of fishing, it was time to administer a preemptive measure.

Even if Boss Zhang cheated, with over three thousand catties of fish, the pit still wouldn’t lack density, especially the number 10 big edge spot Yue Feng drew.

It was a spot where fish tended to congregate.

Even before the competition started, fish ripples would surface near the edge, and the spot was showing green.

After completing the pre-fishing preparations, Yue Feng connected once more to the live-streaming platform and began his live broadcast for the day.
