A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 6 Boss, someone caught a fish!

Chapter 6 Boss, someone caught a fish!
The fishing scene was truly lively.

Time flies, an hour passes, two hours pass.
People kept catching fish, but no one caught a golden arowana.

People are inevitably a little impatient.

Are there any arowanas in this pond? I don't see any.

"Could they have used some kind of trick?"

"Forget about golden arowana, I haven't even caught a grass carp!"

"Could it be that there's something wrong with those golden arowanas, that they're not biting the hook?"

Everyone started discussing it.

Some anglers had bought tickets for the afternoon session and came early to watch the excitement.

"Hehe, let them fish first, they're just baiting our spot."

"You can't catch good fish this early; the afternoon is the golden time for fishing."

"Luckily, I managed to snag a ticket for the afternoon's event, and I'm just waiting to go on stage!"

"With my skill level, I'll definitely catch a golden arowana within five minutes of taking the field!"

Qi Yue stood on the shore watching.

All you could see on the reservoir were floating fishing floats, creating a truly spectacular scene.

To be honest, it's quite rare to see so many fishhooks fishing together.

The fish in the reservoir must have been completely bewildered at that moment. They were as if they had broken a law of nature, and were directly suppressed by countless fishhooks.

The onlookers around also found it lively and enjoyable.

"It's really lively! This is the first time I've seen an event like this. It's quite interesting!"

"I've never seen so many fishing floats before. What kind of fish can escape such a net?"

"You know what, there are quite a few wealthy people here. They're not here for the prize money, they're here to participate in the event. I saw several people driving luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the fishing rods they were carrying must have cost over ten thousand yuan."

"There are plenty of rich people among the fishermen!"

People gathered in small groups, their faces beaming with joy.

At this moment, Qi Yue started making phone calls to contact vendors selling boxed meals.

He needs to find a way to make money.

With so many people coming, that's business.

In business, you have to earn money little by little and not let any opportunity slip by.

The scenic area is in a relatively remote location, so there's not much food delivery available, and there aren't any street vendors setting up stalls here anymore. Everyone still needs to eat.

This is an excellent business opportunity.

The scenic area offers complimentary boxed meals, consisting of two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, priced at 30 yuan.

The boxed meals were of good quality; the rice was high-quality, and the meat and vegetables were delicious.

It's a bit expensive, but I can't let people rip me off.

According to Qi Yue's plan, he can make a profit of 10 yuan from each boxed meal.

If you sell 1000 copies, that's 10,000 yuan.

No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.

Money should be earned when it's due.

Soon, the food truck drove into the scenic area and stopped at the entrance of the reservoir.

Under the temporary shed next to them, there were many portable tables and chairs.

Qi Yue called out into the microphone a few times and introduced the boxed lunches to everyone.

People gradually came over to eat their boxed lunches.

Business still needs to be done.

The scene was very lively.

However, by around 12:30, no one had caught a golden arowana.

Many anglers participating in the event became increasingly impatient.

Fishing requires patience, but there are plenty of short-tempered guys out there.

"Where are the fish? If no one catches a golden arowana today, I'll make sure they regret it!"

"I clearly saw this fish put in with my own eyes, how come it's gone!"

"Is there something fishy going on? These days, businesses are really shady!"

"This boss seems quite generous, not like the kind of unscrupulous businessman. Or is he just pretending?"

Qi Yue has good looks and temperament, and a good image, so people are more likely to believe his promotional activities.

However, people will inevitably get anxious if they can't catch fish for a long time.

Grandpa Liu, the gatekeeper of the scenic area, was also by the reservoir at this time. After watching for a long time, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

I was wondering if it was all a hoax!

There were no fish in the reservoir at all. At that moment, a middle-aged man who looked honest and unassuming was floating on the float by the reservoir. He quickly turned the pulley to reel in the line.

Judging from his skills, this middle-aged man clearly wasn't very good at fishing.

The technique was lacking.

There's no real skill involved in playing a fish; you just reel it in once you've caught it.

As he reeled in the line, the anglers on both sides looked at his float.

This person arrived at 12 o'clock without baiting the hook. After arriving, he cast the line directly with bait on the hook. He was obviously a novice.

Moreover, he fished for more than half an hour without catching a single fish.

The anglers on both sides couldn't help but feel a bit smug.

Now that he's catching the fish, everyone's looking in his direction.

As the fishing line was reeled in, a large fish soon appeared on the surface of the water, its form barely visible.

This fish is quite large.

Sunlight pierced through the water and shone on the fish, which seemed to reflect a faint golden light.

"Holy crap? Gold?"

A fisherman nearby was startled when he saw the fish the man had caught.

He stood directly on the shore and examined it carefully, a look of surprise in his eyes.

As soon as he looked over, many other people came over to take a look as well.

Upon closer inspection, the fish was shimmering with a golden light, just like the golden dragonfish that Qi Yue had released earlier.

The scene immediately became lively.

"It's caught it! It's caught it! Someone caught it!"

"It's a Golden Dragon Fish! Holy crap! It really is a Golden Dragon Fish!"

"That guy caught something! That's amazing!"

"Holy crap, someone actually caught one! Let me see!"

Is it a Golden Dragon Fish?

People immediately gathered around, forming several layers, all looking towards the reservoir.

In reality, the people behind can't see anything; they're just naturally joining in the fun and pushing blindly.

The middle-aged man was a little nervous, but he steadily reeled in the line, neither too fast nor too slow. Before long, the golden arowana was pulled out of the water and appeared in people's sight.

It was indeed the golden arowana that Qi Yue released.

It is very large, covered in golden scales that shimmer and are very beautiful.

Countless heads were gathered around, all watching.

The middle-aged man was also a little nervous, "Is this the prize? I caught it?"

At this point, many people began to call out for Qi Yue.

"Where's the boss? Where's the scenic area owner?!"

"Boss, someone caught a fish!"

"Got one!"

"Someone caught one here!"

Qi Yue had just finished eating his boxed lunch when he heard the commotion and immediately rushed over.

If someone catches a fish, he'll definitely come over to check it out.

To be honest, he was even more anxious than the contestants.
