Soon, the staff on site distributed a fishing rod and various other supporting equipment to each contestant and their assistant.
This includes bait, nets, small red buckets, and so on.
The little red bucket is naturally used to hold the fish that are caught.
Most people are full of confidence after getting the equipment, and they all think they can catch a lot of big fish.
They even complained that the small red buckets provided by the organizers were too small and might not be able to hold the big fish they had caught.
Lu Rong's team is quite large, as there are five other people besides Lu Rong.
Of course, since everyone joined the team according to regulations, everything was in compliance with the requirements.
Lu Rong thought for a moment, and figured that surely one of the six of them would be able to catch a big fish.
At this moment, Li Shangui's voice came again: "Has everyone gotten their fishing gear? From now until 6 p.m., you can choose any spot on this shore to fish."
"After catching the fish you want to cook, you can go to the communal kitchen over there to cook it, and then we judges will score it."
"Because it takes a long time, the cooking time is not strictly required. As long as everyone can catch the fish they need and make the dishes for us judges to taste, that's fine. Just make sure it's done before 6 p.m. today. If you're fast, you can catch the ingredients and cook them within the first half hour."
Li Shangui explained things in quite detail. Overall, there was plenty of time, probably because the organizers wanted to avoid situations where some participants wouldn't be able to catch any fish.
So we extended the time to 6 pm. If we move quickly, it should only take half an hour.
Fishing is a highly unpredictable activity, but the organizers didn't choose this topic randomly. The area around this sea is rich in fish, and since there are no other anglers nearby, the probability of catching fish is very high.
It can be described as an incredibly enjoyable fishing paradise.
Everyone was excited about this competition format. Some of the contestants were initially a little nervous, but now they have all calmed down.
Whether I compete or not doesn't matter; I'll just go try fishing first.
Fishing is actually not difficult to learn; even those who have never fished before can learn quickly.
However, the organizers made preparations to avoid situations where some participants did not know how to fish.
Five men with tanned skin, mostly in their thirties, appeared next to Li Shangui.
Everyone was holding several fishing rods.
Li Shangui explained, "These are the professional fishing instructors we invited. If you need any technical support, you can contact them anytime."
"Of course, you can't use the fish they caught to cook; you have to catch them yourself."
Upon hearing this, some anglers who didn't know how to fish finally felt relieved.
"Senior Lu Rong, do you think I should find a coach?" Su Tingyun looked at Lu Rong with her big, watery eyes, seeking his opinion.
Lu Rong looked at the fishing rods in his hand; they were all high-end, costing several thousand yuan a set if he bought them outside.
So, overall, the organizers were quite willing to invest.
All kinds of accessories are available.
Lu Rong: "Don't worry, I'm here. I'm the best coach. You'll be right next to me later, and I'll teach you anything you don't know."
"Okay, okay, let's see who catches more fish then." Su Tingyun was extremely excited, just like a child who had received a favorite toy.
Her face was beaming with a happy and sweet smile.
Being able to go fishing with Lu Rong is, in other words, like going on a honeymoon.
Upon hearing their words, Xu Fei and the others immediately realized that they were the third wheel.
Xu Fei pointed to the distant seaside and then said, "I'll go fishing over there later. I won't go with you guys. More people means more places, which increases the chances of catching big fish."
To be honest, although Lu Rong and Su Tingyun haven't officially become boyfriend and girlfriend, judging from their usual interactions and conversations, it's obvious to anyone that they're attracted to each other.
If I were to stay next to them now, wouldn't I be like a giant third wheel?
It's embarrassing just thinking about it.
These seasoned school leaders were well aware of such matters.
Zhang Weiguo coughed and continued, "Let's go fishing over there. Whatever fish we catch, we'll keep them for later. When Lu Rong needs any ingredients, we can just take them."
"Hehe, I'm going to fish for a while longer. If I don't use it all, I'll take it home to my wife tonight." Ma Jiang grinned, extremely excited.
Those school leaders may seem aloof and powerful on the surface, but they're actually incredibly busy.
Throughout the year, there aren't many holidays.
Even though universities have winter and summer vacations, students often have to attend various meetings and handle various work-related matters during the holidays, and they don't get to enjoy a leisurely time because of the vacation.
Even at home, he often has to take care of his wife, children, and elderly relatives.
The hardships of adulthood are vividly reflected in them.
Therefore, they rarely have leisure time for travel.
This can now be considered a publicly funded trip.
Moreover, I don't have to take care of my wife and children, so I can relax and have fun all by myself.
Now that everything has been prepared for me, I can just go fishing and have some fun.
Tang Dahai, carrying his little red bucket, was incredibly excited: "Hehe, it's been so long since I've gone fishing. What if I catch a big fish weighing dozens of kilograms? Wouldn't that be awesome? I'll definitely post it on my WeChat Moments."
