Fishing Livestream
Chapter 86 - 86 86 Six Dishes and One Soup

86: Chapter 86: Six Dishes and One Soup 86: Chapter 86: Six Dishes and One Soup Old Liu’s fishing experience was incredibly rich, and when he cast his rod, he didn’t use the full length; he was using an 8.1-meter big fish rod designed for pond fishing, and the cast was only about seven-eighths of the rod’s length, so the bait hit the water around 7.2 meters out.

This method of not using the full rod length for catching big fish definitely counts as wisdom gained through experience.

The fishing line wasn’t too tight, so after hooking a fish, it was relatively easy to stand the rod up.

Once the rod was standing, its bent shape could absorb a lot of the fish’s struggling force, reducing the pressure on the main and sub-lines considerably.

It then became much harder for the fish to escape!

While others were handling their fish, Yue Feng wasn’t idle either, starting to act as a commentator.

“The angler in the video is my big brother, Brother Liu.

He has a wealth of fishing experience, almost as much as I am old.

You all should pay close attention to the details of how he handles the fish; you can learn a lot!

If you have any questions, you can post them in the public channel for everyone to discuss and learn from each other!”

“Something’s off.

Why did the host need a slip knot rope to stand the rod up just now, but this angler simply lifts it, and the fish starts sliding?

The sound of the line is quite shrill; the fish can’t be small, right?”

“That’s a good question, my friend!

Brother Liu didn’t cast his rod to its full length when casting, leaving a part of the line for lifting the rod, so when he stabs the fish and lifts the rod, he can stand it up.

Although my previous fish wasn’t cast to full length either, I was late in setting the hook, so by the time I realized the fish was pulling, the entire line was already taut, and I couldn’t lift the rod!”

“The old brother in the camera is very savvy with his technique.

Did the host learn how to fish from him?”

“It’s not exactly a master-apprentice relationship, but I’ve learned quite a bit indeed!”

“Host, just now I heard them come over to ask you for corn, and they got a bite right after they changed the bait.

Is the effect of corn really that dominant?”

“Hehe, corn is still in the testing phase, but so far, it seems to be effective!

However, there are many factors that affect fishing success, and bait is just one of them.

The most important is the resource—if there’s fish, then you can catch them.

Don’t blindly believe in the exaggerated effects of bait!

If there are no fish in the water, even I would be helpless!”

“The host is so down-to-earth, so approachable!

Love it, love it!”

“Eh, thank you for your attention!”

“Does the host have a girlfriend yet?

What type of person do you like?”

“Where is the host from, and can I go fishing with you?

I may not know how to fish, but I can eat!

I’m really good at eating fish!”

The livestream room was quite serious at first, but before long, it got sidetracked by a few young ladies mixed in among the viewers!

“Eh, this is a positive energy outdoor Fishing Livestream Room, fans who are getting off track please be aware!” Yue Feng wiped a bit of sweat from his forehead, struggling to cope with various forms of teasing.

Liu Fengnian was using a larger fishing setup, and his rod was specifically a big fish rod for pond fishing.

Moreover, he didn’t use a slip knot after hooking the fish, so the fish underwater got tired more quickly.

In back and forth efforts taking less than ten minutes, Brother Liu had the fish belly-up and safely landed.

This fish was also a carp, just a bit smaller than Yue Feng’s, around seven or eight kilograms in weight.

Liu Fengnian, satisfied, placed the fish into the fish guard and hurriedly baited his hook for another cast.

In the next two-plus hours of the livestream, it was a nonstop affair with someone landing a fish every few minutes, to the great enjoyment of the audience.

It was still happening when the livestream time ran out, and Yue Feng had no choice but to say goodbye to everyone in the room.

“Due to equipment limitations, today’s livestream will have to end here.

I’ll edit the highlights into clips and upload them later for those of you who haven’t had enough.

Don’t forget to double-tap and leave a comment!

See you all tomorrow!”

“Fuck!

The stream is ending just like that?

Don’t go!”

“Five more cents’ worth!”

“The host is so unscrupulous, ending the stream so early!

I’m drawing a circle to curse that all the fish you catch slip away!”

…

Amidst a chorus of complaints, Yue Feng turned off the livestream.

Ding!

Livestream finished!

Vitality Value is being calculated!

Ding!

Congratulations on your livestream, you’ve earned an extra 8732 Points!

The moment the livestream ended, the Lottery Points were automatically tallied.

Goodness gracious, a whopping 8700 plus Points!

This is taking off!!

In just one day, Yue Feng unlocked two big fish weight records; adding the Lottery Points, his Total Points had risen to over 16,000.

There was still a daily task unfinished, which, once completed, might bring in even more Points.

With so many Points in hand, he could tentatively start checking out the items in the shop, but since there was still plenty of time left before the last date for the half-price card, Yue Feng had no immediate plans to spend the Points.

Leaving that aside, they could still stay at the reservoir for another day, so at the very least, he wanted to wait until they got back to consider any spending.

Even though the livestream was turned off, the fish activity did not decline as time went by.

The successive catching of fish continued until evening before finally thinning out.

He’d initially agreed with his peers to wrap up fishing at a certain time, but somehow, they had passed the agreed upon time, until Liu Fengnian called everyone to start preparing dinner; that’s when they all finally relaxed their intense focus.

“It’s getting late; time to prepare dinner!

Stop fishing, everyone, come and give a hand!”

Yue Feng pulled his bait out of the water, placed it in the bait box, and was the first to walk over to the campsite.

“Big brother Liu, what are we having for dinner?”

“Fish, of course!

Yue Feng, clean up that big Carp from the bucket.

Let’s make a pot of Carp soup for everyone to enjoy tonight!”

At the mention of making Carp soup, Yue Feng immediately perked up.

He might not be great at fancy cooking, but when it comes to Carp soup, he’s crystal clear!

“Carp soup, huh, that’s easy.

Leave that dish to me!” Yue Feng said confidently.

“You know how?

Even better, I’ll make some pickled cabbage fish!”

“Brother Liu, what should we do?” Wei Liang, Wang Dong, and Ma Boqiang all frowned and started asking.

The trio never cooked at home and their only Talent was probably making instant noodles!

Managing to add an egg while making instant noodles would have been considered an exceptional performance.

Naturally, they felt pretty awkward at this juncture.

“Easy, Liangzi, you go clean that Grass Carp!

Gut it, scale it, and be careful not to bust the gall bladder!

Wang Dong, you take care of the seasonings and vegetables we brought along; just give them a simple cleanup!

Qiangzi, you fetch our dining and kitchen utensils, get them organized, and give them a wash!”

Five grown men cooking at the reservoir was actually not that hard to resolve.

With two main dishes already in the works, and accompanied by vacuum-packed chicken feet, sausage, peanuts, coupled with a couple of stir-fried veggies, their meal of six dishes and one soup was fairly well-rounded between meat and vegetables.
