Chapter 108 Fishing for Mandarin Fish: Relaxing Your Mind and Body
Zhou Miao washed his hands, said goodbye to Lu Xiaoxiao and the others, then sailed his small boat back to his fishing raft, gathered his equipment, and went to the dock to wait for Yu Muzhou to arrive.
Pei Yunxi hesitated, wondering how to approach him today, but he had already run away.
When Zhou Miao arrived at the dock, he first bought a high-quality lure rod and some artificial bait suitable for fishing for mandarin fish, spending two thousand yuan.
After waiting for about ten minutes, he saw a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class with a high-end-looking lure fishing boat towed behind it.
Yu Muzhou rolled down the car window and tossed his head: "Get in."
Zhou Miao didn't get into the car immediately, but instead walked around it for a moment.
The G-Class, one of his favorite cars, he likes it even more than so-called sports cars.
Unfortunately, the price is too high. He has made a lot of money in Nanzhen using the system, but he still can't afford it now.
Then he looked at the lure boat, which he estimated would cost over a million.
After Zhou Miao got into the car and sat down, Yu Muzhou started the car and said with a smile, "It seems you really like my G-Class. I've never seen you like this when I drive other cars."
Zhou Miao sighed softly, "Who doesn't like luxury cars! It's a pity I can't afford one!"
"Haha, at the rate you're making money, buying a G-Class is just a matter of time."
"I estimate it will be a few years, and I won't buy this kind of car as my first vehicle. I'll probably choose a more practical car first, like a pickup truck."
"Maybe our club will make a fortune next year, and then you can use your dividends to buy tickets."
"Haha, I hope so." Zhou Miao felt a surge of anticipation. "By the way, Brother Zhou, I've decided to invest one million. I can give you the money in a few days."
"You really invested a million! I thought you were only going to invest half a million. Who did you borrow the money from?"
Yu Muzhou never expected that Zhou Miao could come up with a million yuan on his own. The reason he proposed a million yuan investment was simply to test Zhou Miao's determination and to determine his future attitude towards him.
Zhou Miao has enough money of his own; he can easily come up with it.
But that means we can only be ordinary friends from now on, and I won't bring him into the inner circle.
He probably couldn't come up with a million, so he would have to borrow it, but this also showed his attitude and vision.
Yu Muzhou knew that Zhou Miao could understand his thoughts, so he was quite happy to hear that Zhou Miao was willing to invest one million.
"Why would I need to borrow? I've already made hundreds of thousands from horse mackerel. I also discovered a group of mantis shrimp these past few days, and I made tens of thousands from that yesterday too."
"With the addition of setting up more cages these next few days, I can just manage to withdraw one million."
Seeing the surprise on Yu Muzhou's face, Zhou Miao, who had just made a small show of himself, felt secretly pleased.
"Tsk tsk, it has to be you. One trip out to sea is worth more than half a year's income for an ordinary fisherman."
Yu Muzhou shook his head and sighed, feeling that the sea was like Zhou Miao's ATM.
The two chatted and laughed in the car, and after about an hour, they arrived at a reservoir with very beautiful scenery.
One side of the reservoir is backed by a mountain, and you can also see a large stream.
"Ah Miao, get out of the car first and help me hold onto the rope of the lure boat so it doesn't drift away," Yu Muzhou said as he slowly turned around in an open area.
"Okay." Zhou Miao got out of the car, first found the boat's mooring rope, and then waved for him to back up.
Then, Yu Muzhou drove the car backward little by little, and the car's rear support and the boat slowly entered the water. Only when the lure boat floated up did Zhou Miao pull it to the side by the cable.
After seeing this in the rearview mirror, Yu Muzhou drove forward, found a spot to park the car, and then got out.
The two took their fishing gear and set off.
Zhou Miao sat in the driver's seat with great curiosity and found that the boat was operated in a similar manner to a speedboat.
Yu Muzhou, sitting next to him, joked, "You're quite enthusiastic about driving a boat, aren't you? You said you were going to study it properly, but after getting your license, you haven't attended a single class."
"Haha, I've just been too busy!" Zhou Miao said, a little embarrassed.
He originally intended to study the theory properly, but he forgot it in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, it's not a big deal anyway. Take the boat to the side of that stream; the water quality is good there and there's lots of grass, which is where mandarin fish usually like to stay."
"Okay!"
Arriving at the stream, the sun was blocked, and a gentle breeze made it very cool.
Moreover, without the distinctive smell of the sea, the air is actually fresher.
Unfortunately, after waiting for most of the day, the system did not provide any requests for help.
I don't know if it's because you can't complete missions on land, or if there's simply no one here who needs help.
Zhou Miao took out his fishing rod, selected a white soft lure, and a jig head hook.
This setup was suggested by Yu Muzhou. The fishing line is 1.5PE with a No. 3 leader. Judging from this configuration, the mandarin fish here are likely to be big and fat.
"Hey Zhou, this place looks pretty good. Why aren't there any other anglers here besides us?"
"We live by the sea, so everyone's gone rock fishing. And it's a weekday, so it's normal that there aren't any during the day. Maybe a few people will come for night fishing."
"That's true."
After Zhou Miao set up the fishing line and hook, he gently cast the lure rod towards the mouth of the stream, and the bait landed on the water.
Then, while reeling in the line, let the lure bounce on the bottom of the water.
Mandarin fish like to hide in rock crevices or among aquatic plants, a habit somewhat similar to that of grouper.
Although it's almost noon, it's still a relatively active time for fish.
A lively little shrimp appeared, immediately attracting several mandarin fish hiding nearby.
As carnivorous fish, they are no less temperamental than snakehead fish.
Just as they were about to move, the shrimp darted away and disappeared.
Seeing this, the mandarin fish showed no intention of chasing after them and continued to hide and rest.
But the little white shrimp that had just provoked them reappeared in front of them the next moment.
How the hell can we tolerate this?
Immediately, three mandarin fish of different sizes rushed out from different locations.
The one on the left is the closest, so it's the first lucky one today.
The moment it swallowed the small white shrimp, the mandarin fish realized it had been tricked.
The stinging pain inside its mouth caused it to struggle frantically.
The commotion startled the other two mandarin fish, who quickly fled back to their nest.
Zhou Miao raised an eyebrow. Is the fishing really that good?
He used to lure fish, and every time he would cast until his arms ached without catching a fish.
Today, I caught it after only two casts.
Zhou Miao reacted quickly, jerking up his right hand holding the fishing rod, instantly tightening the fishing line.
In that instant, the fishhook, which had been loosening slightly, plunged deep into the fish's mouth once more.
"You caught it so quickly?" Yu Muzhou, who was about to cast his line, put down his line and picked up the landing net.
In reality, the force wasn't that great. Zhou Miao felt the fish was only a little over a pound, and he could easily lift it up without needing a net.
However, since Yu Muzhou was willing to help, he wouldn't be disappointed.
The mandarin fish was not in deep water, so Zhou Miao easily pulled it to the surface and quickly brought it to the side of the lure boat.
Yu Muzhou scooped up the fish with his net and brought it onto the boat.
He then took out two bandages, one black and one white, tied the fish's tail with the black one, and then removed the fishhook from the fish's mouth.
"Brother Zhou, you're very well prepared! You even brought cable ties."
"This boat only has one large live fish hold. Without cable ties, how would you know if you claimed the fish I caught were yours?"
"6
Zhou Miao was speechless for a moment. This guy was quite confident.
