After Xu Qi finished saying he wanted to go fishing, he began to search everywhere in the woods. Whenever he saw a suitable slender branch, he would pick it up and wave it around a few times, then bend it with his hands to make sure the branch was flexible.
[Why did Director Xu suddenly pick up a branch? ]
I know Director Xu is picking up branches to make a fishing rod.
"No way? Director Xu is making a fishing rod here? Director Xu is really planning to go fishing?"
"No way! These branches don't look very reliable. Director Xu, if we can't catch them, then we shouldn't fish anymore. Wouldn't it be better to just use a bamboo basket to chase the fish? That might even be faster than fishing."
"Yes, Director Xu, let's wait until we get back to go fishing. Otherwise, you might not even be able to eat fish for lunch."
[Wait, it's actually possible. As long as Tiantian brings bait, the quality of the fishing rod won't affect whether they can catch fish at all!]
[Yeah, how could I have forgotten about that sweet fishing bait!]
[It's absolutely perfect! As long as you have bait, even if you use a branch as a fishing rod, you can catch these fish with your hands!]
[That's true, but where's the sweet guy? ]
[Yeah, where's Tiantian? ]
Song Tiantian was at the riverside with Xiangfangnan at the moment, using a small backpack to net fish. Unfortunately, the fish here were too agile. Song Tiantian put the backpack in front of the fish several times, but it escaped.
"You hold the backpack here, I'll go to the front to drive the fish over." Xiangfangnan said, picked up a branch by the river, and started knocking into the river.
As soon as they heard the noise, the fish in the river swam forward quickly. Song Tiantian, who was squatting in front, held the backpack motionlessly until a fish ran nearby, then she lifted up the backpack with a splash.
"Haha, I caught it, Nan Nan, I caught a fish."
"Then let's continue."
"Uh-huh"
[Sure enough, it's more reliable to drive the fish. ]
[Yes, but this only works for fish in shallow waters. If you encounter deep waters, you'll still have to rely on fishing.]
[But, doesn't Tiantian have bait? Why doesn't she use it?]
"Yeah, as long as there's bait, not only the fish in shallow or deep water, but also the fish in the nearby rivers will come to you if they smell it, right?"
[So... could it be that Tiantian is carrying bait?]
[It's possible. After all, we haven't seen Tiantian bring out bait since the last episode, so it's not impossible that she didn't bring any this time.]
[That's unfortunate, but can Director Xu really make a fishing rod out of picked-up branches?]
[A simple fishing rod is fine for use, but does it come with a line and hook? How would Director Xu conjure these?]
[Oh, yeah, Director Xu didn't bring any fishing line when he came out. So fishing still won't work.]
"Director Xu, why don't you just give up and let's just use a backpack or bamboo basket like Tiantian and fish directly."
But just when everyone thought that Xu Qi couldn't make a usable fishing rod, Xu Qi was really stumped.
Xu Qi finally found a branch that was both long and flexible. Just as he was about to trim it, He Xuebin said to him, "Old Xu, you're not really planning on using this branch to fish?"
"What's wrong? Can't I?"
"Okay, but do you have fishing line and hook?" He Xuebin was stunned when he said this. "What should I do? I want to try fishing on Changbai Mountain."
“It’s not impossible actually.”
Xu Qi's eyes lit up, and he looked towards Lu Chuanbei: "Xiao Lu, did you bring your fishing rod?"
"I don't have a fishing rod, but I can get fishing line."
"Fishing line?"
"Yes." Lu Chuanbei said as he took out a sack from the bamboo basket placed aside.
[Sack? Could it be that the string Xiao Lu is talking about is being pulled out of the sack?]
[Although the sack is made of hemp, it's not impossible to pull out some hemp string to use, but how much does it take to make a fishing line? Besides, aren't you worried that such thin hemp string will break before you even start fishing?]
"Xiao Lu, why don't we just use a sack to catch fish? If that doesn't work, a bamboo basket will do."
Just when the audience in the live broadcast room suggested that Lu Chuanbei and his friends give up fishing and start fishing directly, Lu Chuanbei picked up the edge line of the sack a few times, pulled a piece of white line that sealed the edge, and tugged it.
With just a "click" sound, Lu Chuanbei pulled off all the white lines on the edge of the sack.
Upon seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.
[Wow, the thread Xiao Lu was talking about turned out to be the white thread on the sack seal!]
[I never expected that the string on the sack would be this kind of string. I've really learned something new today.]
"Little Lu is awesome! This reminds you of something. He's definitely quite impressive."
Xu Qi didn't expect that the line Lu Chuanbei was talking about was actually the edge banding line on the sack. But you know what, the edge banding line is generally stronger than other lines, so there is no problem using it for fishing.
Now that the problem of fishing line is solved, the fish hook is even less of a problem.
Look, Fang Xiuzhu took out a piece of wire from the bamboo basket, cut off a small piece of it with a knife, and bent it with a stone, and the fish hook was done.
All that's left is to put the line, branches and fish hook together, and a simple fishing rod is successfully completed.
Xu Qi swung his newly made fishing rod with satisfaction: "Wait, I'll go fishing for you today!"
After saying that, Xu Qi went to look for a place to fish. He walked along the river for a while and came to a flat deep water area. Xu Qi took a look below and saw several black shadows swimming below. He immediately confirmed that this was the place!
But before fishing, you have to find some bait.
While digging for earthworms, Xu Qi still felt like he had forgotten something, until He Xuebin came over and asked, "Brother Xu, didn't you get some bait from Xiao Lu Tiantian?"
"Oh, I seemed to have forgotten something!" When Xu Qi thought of the magic fishing bait they used when fishing in Hainan, he immediately stood up and looked around.
When he saw Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan chasing fish in front, he immediately ran over with his fishing rod.
I was wondering why Director Xu even dug up earthworms. It seems he forgot about the bait!
[Great! We can see the bait kill all the fish again!]
[That's right, once the bait is out, who can compete with it? You can even eat more of it later!]
[Um...don't be too confident. After all, whether Tiantian brought bait or not is another matter...]
[Oh, yeah, if Tiantian had brought bait, she would have used it when she caught the fish just now. Then Nannan and I could have helped catch the fish together.]
[That’s it. I guess we won’t see Director Xu catching a fish on his rod anymore…]
Sure enough, Song Tiantian really brought bait this time. Although Xu Qi was a little disappointed, he was not surprised.
"Uncle, wait a minute, I'm going to make some bait now."
"Made fresh?" Xu Qi was stunned.
"yes."
As Song Tiantian spoke, she started looking around. She pulled out a few weeds from the riverside, and put them together with a wild mushroom whose name she couldn't remember, on a flat stone, and used the stone to mash them into a paste.
Xu Qi looked at the green and brown mixture on the stone and couldn't connect it with the bait. "Tiantian, are you sure this is bait?"
"Yes." Song Tiantian said it confidently, but except for her, others could not believe that this strange paste could be used for fishing.
[Although I really want to believe Tiantian, but this mush... is there really a fish without eyes that would like to eat it? ]
[Uh… If Tiantian hadn’t told me this was bait, I’d have thought she was using some kind of drug that could instantly stun the fish…]
[The truth is revealed above. Tiantian might have had this intention.]
[Yeah, the mushrooms Tiantian added earlier might be the kind that can see little people, so Tiantian must be planning to use the mushrooms' toxicity to confuse the fish, so that she can catch them effortlessly!]
[That must be the case, otherwise it wouldn't be much of a bait since it's just a mess.]
As soon as this barrage of comments flashed across the screen, Song Tiantian was seen digging a ball of mud on the ground, mixing it with the green and brown herbal paste on the stone.
Xu Qi looked at the mud ball that Song Tiantian had kneaded like dough in a few seconds, and couldn't help licking the corner of his dry mouth: "Tiantian, I think I should go dig earthworms."
"Um... Old Xu is right. I'll help him dig it out." With that, He Xuebin and Xu Qi walked towards the river ahead without looking back.
"Huh?" Song Tiantian hurriedly looked up at them: "But my bait is almost ready?"
Hearing this, the two men walked faster.
Song Tiantian looked towards Xiangnan with some confusion: "Nannan, why did they leave so suddenly?"
Xiangfangnan glanced at the mud ball, which looked even more strange in color due to the mud mixed in. "Well, maybe I was too eager to go fishing."
"Really? My bait is almost ready, but they don't even wait for me to finish it and take it to go fishing together?" Song Tiantian was puzzled.
Xiangfangnan was silent, not knowing for a moment whether he should tell Tiantian that Xu Qi and He Xuebin were scared away by the bait she made.
[Tiantian... Director Xu and Dabin were scared away by the bait you made.]
[Tiantian, are you sure this thing made of water plants, mushrooms, and mud can be called bait?]
[Um, I've been fishing for over ten years, and I've never seen anyone add mud to bait...]
[Is Tiantian going to fail this time? 】
[As much as I hate to admit it, fish eat mud?]
[Tiantian, why don’t we just use the backpack to catch fish today…]
