Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 169
Seeing that the octopuses in the water were almost gathered, Li Xiao picked up the empty fishing rod and said to the live broadcast room.

"Okay, now the market is closed, and the countdown has officially begun."

Then the finger clicked to close the market in the background.

At the same time, the one-hour countdown immediately appeared in the upper right corner of the live broadcast screen.

A confident smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiao's mouth, and he smiled lightly into the live broadcast room.

"Now, let's see the real technology."

The audience in the live broadcast room, especially the black fans, haven't booed yet.

Li Xiao's actions made boos get stuck in the throats of the black fans.

It seems that in order to specifically respond to the doubts of those black fans in the live broadcast room about his fishing skills, Li Xiao deliberately used an extremely clever pole swing method, leaning his body slightly back and to the right, swinging his whole arm slightly, and then exerting force from his whole body , with a clear sound of the wind, the fishing rod was thrown forward.

The fishhook without a counterweight flew more than 100 meters like an arrow off the string before landing on the dark sea.

Although there is no specific measurement standard, the fishhook that glows green is really too conspicuous.

The fluorescent fishhook, like a shooting star in the dark night, cut through the dark night sky and fell into the same dark sea.

Although the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't determine how far Li Xiao threw the pole and let the fishhook fly, but a discerning person could tell at a glance that the distance was at least tens of meters.

For a while, even the most demanding black fans did not continue to lead the rhythm in the direction where Li Xiao's fishing skills were not good enough.

The live broadcast room fell into a sea of ​​jubilation for a moment.

"Didn't it mean that the anchor's fishing skills are not good? Can it work now?"

"That's right, didn't you say that the anchor can't throw a pole? Will he do it now?"

"Although there is no way to measure it here, it must be more than 60 meters."

"I think it's only about 100 meters away."

"The one upstairs is too exaggerated. It is estimated to be 90 meters. How can it be 100 meters?"

"I don't think 100 meters is too exaggerated, after all, I can't even see the shadow."

Li Xiao spoke casually

"It should be 100 meters, not too far away."

His tone was very flat, he didn't seem to be showing off, but seemed to be talking about a very ordinary thing.

While speaking, Li Xiao quickly turned the spool and took the fishhook back into his hand. Then, the fishhook swung lightly and landed lightly less than one meter away from the side of the boat.

He didn't open his mouth to speak, but such light movements were like a resounding slap on the faces of those black fans.

It's not that I can't throw a pole, but I don't need to throw a pole to catch octopus! !

In fact, people who know a lot often don't talk too much.

Those who like to stand out and like to stand in front of others and give advice, most of them are people who only know a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu.

After all, the more you know, the more you realize your ignorance.

The fluorescent shrimp-shaped fishhook slowly fell into the dark sea until that point of fluorescence disappeared in front of the camera.

[Proficiency in Shrimp Fishing] contains many shrimp fishing skills, including how to use the fishing rod, so the moment Li Xiao threw out the fishing rod, he knew how far away the hook would land.

He can even clearly know the state of the water flow near the hook through the subtle feeling of the fishing line.

As I said before, fishing for shrimp and octopus have a lot in common.

For example, both shrimp and octopus like to hunt small moving creatures, and shrimp is a marine animal that octopus likes to hunt most.

Xiaoba is a newly grown octopus. Taking advantage of the good weather today, he followed a large group of octopuses in his family for a walk and hunted for food.

Suddenly a strong scent appeared not far away, and the leading octopuses immediately swam over looking for the scent, followed by the young babies who had just grown up.

The scent of the prey became stronger and stronger, and they swam faster and faster, and soon several beautiful green light spots appeared in front of their eyes.

They don't know what these green views are, but the innate genes burned in their memory tell them that they need to be close to these green lights.

Seeing these green fluorescent lights, they moved faster.

I don't know why, but a palpitation came out of Xiao Ba's heart.

She faintly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with today's itinerary.

However, as a young adult, her thinking ability is not that strong. Her natural yearning for fluorescence and the smell of food made her immediately forget the trivial danger warnings in her mind.

Suddenly, a fluorescent shrimp appeared in front of her eyes.

While her diet is extensive and eats just about anything, her favorite food is this hopping sea creature.Not only is there a lot of meat, but the shell is very soft and easy to digest.

But before she got close, this fluorescent little shrimp was firmly grasped by a much larger octopus with its 8 thick tentacles like a hungry ghost reincarnated. up.

Xiao Ba was not too disappointed when he saw his prey was caught. After all, newcomers have to hone their skills.

The moment the eight tentacles of the octopus caught the fluorescent hook, Li Xiao felt the weight of the prey from the tiny fishing line.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiao's mouth, and he tilted his head to look at the time on the phone.Countdown, now only 1 minute and 10 seconds have passed.

It's show time! ! !

It is almost impossible to get off the hook when fishing for octopus, because the hook for catching octopus is very special, usually a three-claw hook or a six-claw hook, that is, there are 3 barbs or six barbs in a hook, and considering the eight The body structure of clawfish, these barbs are very long.

The octopus's hunting method is very peculiar. It will wrap all the tentacles of its entire body around the target prey to prevent it from escaping.

However, it is this strange habit that once he takes the bait, his body will be hooked in several places at the same time, making it impossible to escape.

And even if it feels physical pain, the octopus will not escape, but will choose the prey to entangle more tightly, trying to kill them before them.

Li Xiao easily lifted the octopus out of the water, watching the octopus wriggling on the hook, all the people in the live broadcast went crazy

"My mother asked me why I knelt down to look at my phone, and I handed it to her, and she knelt down with me."

"One word, Niubi."

"Upstairs, you're too bad at math. You said two words, right?"

"No, it's just one word, and the latter word is a modal verb."

"It's too fast, it's only a little over a minute."

"It shouldn't be counted like this, the anchor, just now we performed a pole throwing performance, which means that the anchor only took a few tens of seconds to catch an octopus."

"hiss"

There was another gasp.

"I used to think that a host would be a master if he could catch a shrimp in 2 minutes."

"Now that I think about it, I was so short-sighted."

"I, Wu Yaozu from Beihai, would like to call the anchor the strongest!"

"I, Donghai Aaron Kwok, would like to call the anchor the strongest!"

"I, Uchiha Madara, would like to call the anchor the strongest!"

Talking is useless, only action is the most practical.

After seeing that Li Xiao caught an octopus in just one minute, those who wanted to blackmail Li Xiao also shut up.

Just now they could barely distort the facts, saying that Li Xiao only knows how to throw a pole, but actually knows nothing about catching octopus.

However, when the facts are in front of them, they can no longer open their eyes and talk nonsense.

After all, they also realized that the guy in front of him had such a hard idea that he couldn't move at all.

Some new passers-by clicked to follow in an instant. If such an awesome anchor doesn't follow at this time, when will he wait?
Li Xiao laughed lightly and did not speak, but this laughter represented everything.

It was confidence in his own strength, and a little ridicule for the black fans hiding in his live broadcast room.

He casually threw the octopus into the cage used for the deck, flicked the fishing rod lightly, and the fluorescent fishhook gently fell back to the dark water surface.

Anyone with excellent eyesight and observation skills comparable to a detective will find that the position of Li Xiao's hook is exactly the same as before.

Fortunately, the environment of the live broadcast was relatively dark, and there were no professionals in the live broadcast room, so Li Xiao's exaggerated move was not discovered by anyone.

Otherwise, I'm afraid he will be taken away and sliced ​​before he lands.

With the exaggerated record of the first one, Li Xiao naturally did not panic.

2, 3, 4, 10, 15, 20, 28.

But in just 40 minutes, Li Xiao easily caught 28 of them.

Watching the countdown, with 20 minutes and 30 seconds left, Li Xiao spoke easily to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"What did I just say?"

"I told everyone just now that this time it's a gift I gave to everyone. 30 octopuses are nothing short of trivial."

Said his hook fell into the water again.

Under his control, the hook danced gently, just like a real sea shrimp.

Xiao Ba saw the fluorescent shrimp again.

She clenched her teeth and made up her mind that she must eat it in her mouth this time.

This shrimp was elusive, kept being eaten by other people, and kept appearing again and again, which made her grit her teeth with hatred. Isn't this just playing with an octopus?

Wait, keep getting eaten by other people? ? ? ! ! !
A strange thought subconsciously appeared in her mind, why did it still appear here after being eaten by others? ?
However, she hadn't thought about this question yet, another huge figure passed by his target, and the target was the glowing shrimp that was leisurely and leisurely.

Under Xiaoba's eyes that were tearing apart, the prey that he could not get, was eaten into his mouth again, again, again, again.

Wait, why did I say again, again, again, again? ? ?
Looking at the figure of his companion swimming upstream quickly, his little head was full of question marks.

He didn't understand why these companions of his would swim to the surface of the sea every time they caught this little shrimp.

However, it is clear that this complicated question is not something her dull and young mind can figure out.

Before she could think clearly about the previous question, the familiar little shrimp reappeared in front of her eyes, its movements were still so light, so chic, and so comfortable, just like an unfettered octopus.

This time Xiaoba didn't think anymore, because she found that as long as she thought about it, the prey would give way to other octopuses.

She slid its 8 not-so-strong tentacles, rushing towards the target.

This time she finally succeeded, because the prey was too close this time, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

If she could speak, she would sing loudly to the octopuses around her

"You can't catch up with me."

However, as soon as her eight slender tentacles climbed onto the prey, she felt pain from a certain part of her body. She subconsciously grasped the prey even tighter, fearing that the other party would run away, before its giant mouth opened to bite. Under this elusive prey.

Xiao Ba felt a pulling force coming from his prey.

Before she could figure it out, she felt that the surrounding water pressure began to decrease rapidly, and the color of the sea water began to clear.

Then she flew out of the dark water.

Xiao Ba has never tried to leave the sea, it is a wonderful feeling, the pressure everywhere around seems to disappear in an instant.

She felt her body became very light, as if being pulled by something to fly to the sky.

I'm flying? !

Although she hadn't flown before, she was in the shallow sea and had seen seabirds soaring along the coast.

Their figures are so beautiful and outstanding, I didn't expect that I could fly in the sky like them.

"I am the queen of the sea, I want"

Xiao Ba made the most powerful declaration in her life, but before the declaration was finished, her body was thrown heavily on the deck, and she didn't quite understand why her ability to fly suddenly disappeared.

Li Xiao did not continue to hook, because the goal of 30 has been achieved.

He chuckled towards the live broadcast room, and glanced at the countdown in the upper right corner of the live broadcast room. There were 18 minutes and 15 seconds left.

He spread his hands in front of the studio.

"30 octopuses are too simple. If you say it's a gift, it's a gift."

"The task of catching 42 octopuses was completed in 30 minutes. Now I will close the market. Does anyone have any objections?"

There was no objection from anyone in the live broadcast room, so he chuckled lightly.

After all, there is still so much time left, even if those black fans want to say something, they have nothing to say.

Click Checkout.

Seeing the settlement interface that popped up, the smile on his face became even happier.

Sure enough, there is no loss. You must know that the number of 30 octopus is not small. For many people or black fans who don’t know much about octopus fishing, they will definitely vote [A] and they will vote a lot.

Looking at the data in the background.

The difference between 28 cat claws and 14 cat claws is double.

Therefore, even with a multiplier of 1.5 times, I can still make a net profit of 4 cat claws.

When Li Xiao settled the handicap, some people burst into tears, while others laughed out loud.

Especially those who said, cast 1 cat's claws, which is 1 yuan in cash.

In less than an hour, there was no more than 1 yuan, which may be insignificant to those local tyrants. In their view, it is just the money for a breakfast.

But for some poor people, 1 yuan is two or three months' salary.

40 minutes is not long, but it is enough for the second uncle and second aunt to put away the fish cage.

Due to the inexplicable flood of octopuses recently, they couldn't afford the price at all, so the second uncle and the others only put the fish cages twice before preparing to leave.

After all, cheap grain hurts farmers, and cheap octopus hurts farmers too.

If the price is too low, forcibly increasing the number of sales will only make the price even lower.

Even in the end, the cost may not be recovered, and the entire market will eventually collapse.

After the handicap was over, the people in the live broadcast room immediately booed.

They would never forget that Li Xiao had promised that local tyrant brother before.

After the octopus comes up, it has to be eaten raw.

When I see my barrage, there are only two words

【Began to eat】

Li Xiao swallowed, looking at the molluscs crawling around on the deck.

He never thought that one day he would be so afraid of these creatures that were not even half the size of his fist.

He also finally clearly understood why so many aliens in sci-fi movies are designed based on soft-bodied creatures such as octopuses.

Come to think of it, those designers and script editors have all faced the horror scene of eating raw octopus.

He quickly coughed twice, smiled and said loudly to the audience in the live broadcast room

"It's not urgent. It's really not urgent. Let's talk about it when we get ashore. I'm here and I can't escape. After all, there is no wasabi or soy sauce on the boat. It's not very tasty to eat raw. I eat this, but I want it Eat with wasabi and soy sauce”

However, before the people in the live broadcast room booed dissatisfiedly.

The second aunt who was tidying up the fish cage on the side gave Li Xiao a fatal blow, and it still triggered the fatal blow of the backstab effect.

"Wasabi and soy sauce are on board, and there are knives on board."

Li Xiao never felt that the second aunt's voice could be so loud since she was a child.

He turned around stiffly, looking at the smiling second aunt, the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

However, with something like a backstab, once you have it, there will be a second time.

Just like cheating and domestic violence, if you say you don’t dare next time, you will continue next time, and it may get worse. It is absolutely impossible that there will be no next time.

Under Li Xiao's horrified gaze, the second aunt's second backstab came.

The second aunt turned around and returned to the cab, and took out a shiny silver knife, a large bottle of soy sauce, and a piece of mustard that gave off a desperate green light.

Li Xiao could hear his heartbroken voice, he glanced at the live broadcast room from the corner of his eye, and the people in the live broadcast room were already laughing.

"Good guy, I'm really a good guy, this second aunt is so awesome."

"It seems that my second aunt is my own person. I didn't want to go to Yangjiang for the trip. The air ticket to Maldives is already booked, but I can't go now. Not to mention anything else, I should go just to meet our second aunt. .”

"Second Aunt is so awesome. The plane below me is specially given to our Second Aunt as a reward. The anchor can't take it for himself."

"Yes, yes, I will also give our second aunt a reward for a plane. We have a small book here to record it clearly. When we go to Yangjiang, we will ask our second aunt to see if you have any Greedy ink."

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth finally stopped twitching, not because he calmed down, but because the corners of his mouth had become stiff due to excessive twitching, and the muscle tissue was completely stuck, unable to twitch at all.

Looking at the knife and mustard and soy sauce forced into his hands by his second aunt, Li Xiao almost shed tears of humiliation.

If it was someone else, he would have scolded him long ago, but this is his second aunt.

He could only look at the second aunt with eyes full of tears, and said to the second aunt in a very complicated tone.

"Second aunt, I (teme) really thank you."

The carefree second aunt didn't hear the grievance and sadness in Li Xiao's heart at all, she smiled and patted Li Xiao's shoulder.

"Thank you? We should thank you for working so hard for us to do the live broadcast. You can eat slowly. The octopus needs to be washed in the water before eating. There is a reservoir next to the cab, do you remember?"

You also know that I work hard, and you still stab me with a knife? !

"Remember, remember." Li Xiao nodded bitterly.

The reason why he didn't even clean the octopus now, so he had to wait to wash it before eating, was snuffed out by the second aunt before it sprouted.
