Lin Yang patted his stomach and said, "I’m hungry, Uncle Victor, do we have any food on the boat?"
Yue’er rolled her eyes from behind and replied, "Hungry now? I asked you to eat earlier, and you didn’t even lift your head. You were so focused on fishing that you didn’t care to eat, so you deserve to be hungry. Uncle Victor and I have already eaten, but we left so bread and sausage for you. Make do with it."
"Hahaha, even the host can’t escape getting scolded while fishing. Seeing this scene suddenly makes feel psychologically balanced."
"I can testify, Yue’er did call the host to eat while he was fishing. He responded but didn’t move, just kept on fishing."
"Damn, now that you ntion it, I realize I haven’t eaten my lunch either. I opened my boxed lunch and then forgot to eat it when the fish ran away. Damn, it’s completely cold now."
Lin Yang sheepishly scratched his head and chuckled, "Isn’t it because the fish were biting well that I wanted to play a bit longer? I’m not picky, bread is fine."
Seeing this, Yue’er turned around and took out bread, sausage, and a thermos from a cooling box behind her.
"Eat up, there’s still hot water in the thermos."
"Okay." Lin Yang answered and started to gobble down the food voraciously.
"Are you going to continue fishing after eating? I think we should start heading back. It will take so ti to pick the spot for sturgeon, and if we return too late, it will affect the choice of the nest." Uncle Victor tily reminded.
Lin Yang nodded after hearing this: "We should have enough baitfish. Let’s head back now."
After saying goodbye, he addressed the live stream audience, "Guys, today’s lure fishing for Mi Qiao is complete. We have achieved our fishing goal. Next, we head back to find a few nest spots in the downstream deep water zone, get a head start on building a nest, and try fishing to see if we can catch so wild sturgeon here."
Soon, the fishing boat started up and turned to head downstream.
Sitting on the boat, with a full catch behind him, holding bread and sausage in one hand, he could still see the natural scenery by the water...
As he was watching, Lin Yang gradually drifted into a reverie, thinking that living like this every day might not be so bad.
"Hey, Brother Yang, what are you thinking about?"
After who knows how long, Lin Yang suddenly noticed a slender, white hand waving in front of him, snapping him back to reality.
"Eh? We’ve arrived already?" He looked around, the river had widened, and the terrain and trees felt familiar.
"Are you exhausted or what? Are you okay? You were munching on the bread and then zoned out. You didn’t even respond when I called you." Yue’er asked with so concern.
Lin Yang laughed heartily and said spontaneously, "I’m fine, just now I suddenly realized, with a beauty for company, and fish and water at hand, living like this for a lifeti wouldn’t be too bad!"
"Pfft, shaless, who’s going to live with you for a lifeti? Wishful thinking!" Yue’er didn’t expect him to co out with such a romantic line all of a sudden, and her cheeks flushed with shyness.
"Oh my, the host knows how to play romantic! Chat’s going wild 6666."
"Yue’er is blushing, oh man, that’s slick."
"It’s too cheesy, I’m here to watch fishing, not to be tortured with sweetness."
Lin Yang cramd the last bit of bread into his mouth and swallowed it down, then stood up and said, "Now that I’ve eaten and drunk, it’s ti to start working. Uncle Victor, in this stretch of water, do you have any recomndations for selecting a nesting spot?"
Victor looked around the environnt and shook his head, "This stretch of the river, the water level was higher last year, and the course has changed, so I can only give a rough direction, I can’t find any precise spots anymore. Underneath us, towards the southeast direction, about thirty ters away, there should be a pit. You can refer to that, but it would be best to asure it sohow, otherwise, should I go underwater?"
Victor had been indicating the water surface, but by the end, he began to take off his jacket, ready to dive in.
Lin Yang quickly stopped him and shook his head, "No need to go to such lengths, diving into the water. I can get a rough estimate of the water depth by just trying with a different lure bait. If there are shallow pits or similar topography on the riverbed nearby, it should be a good place for nesting."
After saying that, Lin Yang switched his lure for a 15g spoon and casually removed the treble hook from the rear of the spoon, casting it out with a strong throw.
From the mont the spoon hit the water, he silently counted the ti it took to sink to the bottom and stopped when the lure stopped unwinding the line.
He reeled the lure back in and cast it in different areas around him, quickly searching a large area.
Based on the sinking ti of the lure, he quickly identified the deepest spot as the target, which was roughly twenty ters off from the direction Uncle Victor suggested.
"Alright, I have found the spot now, let’s prepare the bait for making the nest. Do you have any spare utility knives? Let’s get to work and turn these fish into chunks for the nest."
Victor nodded and handed Lin Yang another utility knife from his toolbox, then they both began the sowhat bloody process of killing and cutting up the fish.
The large Mi Qiao, which would sell for quite a bit per pound in China, was here in the bountiful Russia, rely suited for cutting up into chunks for nesting.
The two squatted beside the live fish box, busily working. In a short while, they had cut the fish into pieces the size of mahjong tiles, leaving just the two biggest ones to take back to camp for dinner.
