Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 239 Fishing Bait
"Haha, your vigilance is quite high!" Zhao Lei couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, don't do illegal and criminal things, we will still do your old job, catch eel fry!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lei also wanted to fish eel seedlings in the sea, Xu Zhiming sighed: "No way!"

"why not?"

"I can't cheat you." Xu Zhiming said in a deep voice: "The eel fry on this pier are all hired by Zhu Junwei. Even if you charter my boat to go out to sea, that guy will not let the eel fry we caught , when the time comes, not only will your hard work be in vain, but you will also have to pay for the boat charter.”

Zhao Lei had a good impression of Xu Zhiming's frankness, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Since this pier is controlled by Zhu Junwei, why don't you go to other pier to sell eel fry?"

"Because he also sent his men to watch at other piers." Xu Zhiming said helplessly: "No matter which pier we dock on the island, we have to go through him to sell the eel fry!"

"So that's it!" Zhao Lei nodded lightly, knowing more about Zhu Junwei's power on the island.

However, Zhao Lei has already decided to raise eels, and of course he will not change his plan just because of Zhu Junwei, so he smiled and said to Xu Zhiming: "I just need you to help me catch eel fry, as for how to send them ashore, that is my own business." .Even if Zhu Junwei finds it at the pier, it has nothing to do with you. And I will give you another 20 yuan for every eel fry you catch, how about it?"

Xu Zhiming couldn't help being tempted when Zhao Lei offered such a generous offer.

The rent of 5000 yuan per day, plus [-] yuan for each eel fry, is a good deal that only makes money but does not lose.For Xu Zhiming, who has been unlucky this year, it is undoubtedly very attractive.

Xu Zhiming showed a troubled expression on his face, which was particularly dark due to the wind and sun all year round, but soon he slapped his thigh hard and said: "Okay, I promise you!"

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Then it's settled, I'll come to the pier to find you tomorrow morning, and then we'll go to sea together!"

In order to reassure Xu Zhiming, Zhao Lei also gave him a deposit of 2000 yuan.

The disembarking boss also believed that Zhao Lei was not joking with him, and there was a little more gratifying smile on his face.

That night, Zhao Lei found a hotel near the pier to stay. It was the peak season for fishing eel fry, and many of the guests in the hotel were farmers who came from all over the world to buy eel fry.

After everyone met, they were also sharing their respective gains today.However, judging from the frowning faces of these people, the situation is obviously not satisfactory.

Zhao Lei didn't get close to these people either, and went straight back to his room.He locked the door carefully, put up a "Do Not Disturb" sign, and got to work.

Zhao Lei chopped fresh fish and pork bought in a nearby vegetable market and mixed them evenly.

He checked online that eels are carnivores, and all kinds of meat are their favorite.So Zhao Lei plans to change the way fishermen catch eel fry by luck, try to use bait to attract eel fry, and then fish.

Of course, on the surface of the vast river, relying on these ordinary baits would obviously not be of much use.These baits must be made more attractive in order to attract eel fry.

Zhao Lei had already planned for this. He put the chopped bait in a container, fetched spring water from the gourd space, and submerged all the bait, so that the aura contained in the spring water could fully enter the bait.

Zhao Lei discovered in the village that animals are much more sensitive to aura than humans.Whether it is the river water with fairy dew added or the spring water in the gourd space, it is very attractive to animals.

Zhao Lei hopes that the aura contained in the spring water can also attract the eel fry in the river, so that these little guys will gather together, and then they can catch them all in one go.

In fact, if you want to attract eel fry, Xianlu with more aura is undoubtedly a better choice.However, this is Zhao Lei's first attempt to catch eel fry, and he is not willing to use the precious celestial dew, but to use spring water to test the effect.

In order to ensure that eel fry can be attracted throughout the day, Zhao Lei specially found a few bottles and filled them with spring water for emergencies.

After completing these preparations, Zhao Lei rested, only waiting to go out to sea to catch eel fry early tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Lei left the hotel and came to the pier just as the sky was getting dark.

Although it is still very early, the fishermen are making preparations for the sea.Xu Zhiming was no exception. While making preparations, he looked anxiously towards the pier, and he was secretly relieved when he saw Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei came to the side of the boat and asked Xu Zhiming with a smile: "I'm not late, am I? It seems that a boat has already left the dock, am I not late?"

"The time is just right." Xu Zhiming said cheerfully, "I'm just waiting for you to board the boat and set sail!"

Zhao Lei nodded, and jumped onto the deck of the fishing boat with a light leap.

Xu Zhiming gave Zhao Lei a thumbs up, and soon asked the crewman Yang Youqiang to untie the cable, and drove the fishing boat away from the pier, slowly heading towards the vast river.

Although today's wind and waves are not too big, when the small fishing boat left the pier, it still bumped quickly.After all, the fishing boat is really too small, only more than five meters long.Even in calm weather, such a small fishing boat will not be very stable.

However, even though the fishing boat was obviously bumping up and down, Zhao Lei still stood firmly on the deck, his feet seemed to be nailed to the deck, Xu Zhiming was surprised that he was more adaptable to the environment on board than Yang Youqiang.

Xu Zhiming said to Zhao Lei while steering the helm: "Boss Zhao looks like someone who eats on the water all the year round, and was also a sailor before?"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, this is my first time on a boat."

"Then you're really amazing!" Xu Zhiming smiled and said, "You were born to eat this bowl of rice!"

Of course Xu Zhiming didn't know that the current Zhao Lei already had the third level of the Sanqing Xinfa.Even standing on the back of a galloping horse can still walk on the ground, let alone on this fairly stable deck.

But of course Zhao Lei wouldn't say it out. To Xu Zhiming's praise, he just smiled modestly and said, "You're too much!"

During the chat between the two, the small fishing boat braved the wind and waves and headed for the waterway north of Chongdao.The water here is relatively shallow, the water flow is relatively slow, and there are no large ships passing by. It is the most suitable place for fishing eel fry.When Zhao Lei and others came here, there were already many fishing boats on the river.

"Here we are!" Xu Zhiming slowed down slowly, and said to Zhao Lei on the deck, "Let's try our luck here and see how much we can get!"

Zhao Lei nodded, simply picked up a copying net, and started fishing eel fry for the first time in his life.
