The fish weighed less than ten pounds.
Even so, the fishermen were very happy to take photos with the fish and strike various poses, but the onlookers were very disappointed that such a big fuss was made.
But I only caught such a small fish!
Not even as big as the one caught by a novice.
Xu Jiang complained in his heart, turned around and saw that Zhang Fan's fishing hook was straightened again, and from the rolling water splashes, he knew it was a big one.
"Hurry, hurry up and help, they caught another big one..."
As Xu Jiang was speaking, he jumped into the water, which made Xu Zijun on the side stunned for a moment. He saw that Xu Jiang was like a big fish, and he grabbed the white fish with his bare hands.
You should know that this fish is very big. It is more than one meter long in the water. It is like a giant and very powerful.
Xu Jiang dared to catch such a big fish, and his swimming ability must be surprisingly good.
Xu Jiang jumped into the water, and the others were also alarmed. The onlookers stretched their necks and watched the big fish being dragged up by the hook, while Xu Jiang held the fish's body and tried hard to control it.
Don't let this big fish break free from the fishing line and escape.
As soon as such a big fish came out of the water, it attracted waves of cheers.
This fish was even bigger than the one Zhang Fan caught the first time. Moreover, in such a short time, he caught two huge white carp at once, which was countless times better than those experienced contestants who arrived early.
After all, many people only have a few small fish in their fishing nets at this time, not even one weighing more than three or five kilograms.
The gap between them was too big. Those who had been mocking Zhang Fan, and even saying that he was a newbie and had only squeezed in to participate in the competition because of connections, now had red faces.
He stammered and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
This novice's fishing skills are so good, with just a simple broken bamboo pole, he is better than all of them put together. This is shameful!
Just relying on these two big fish, Zhang Fan was selected as the fish king of this competition.
Especially the big fish that was caught at the end, which was one and a half meters long and weighed more than one hundred and twenty kilograms. It was not only the king of fish this time, but also the biggest king fish caught since the start of the Fish King Championship.
Xu Jiang, the owner of Xujia River, not only expressed his intention to give Zhang Fan a prize, but also to give him a year's dividend from the shares of the river. He just hoped that he would come here to fish when he was free, especially to catch the big white carp.
Because this type of fish is the most aggressive in eating fish fry, only by controlling the number of this fish can the fish production in this river increase.
Although this amount of bonus and shares is not particularly large, this reward is an unexpected gain, and he can also come fishing at any time, which is killing two birds with one stone for Zhang Fan.
You can fish here, but not only do you have to pay, but people also give you money and shares. More importantly, the scenery is beautiful, so you can come here to relax whenever you have time, go fishing, have a picnic, or swim!
Zhang Fan happily signed the contract and received the bonus.
All the contestants had to eat together at noon, but Zhang Fan politely declined. How could the food prepared by outside chefs compare to Xu Zijun's?
"You're not going to have the celebration banquet with us? What a pity. By the way, Mr. Zhang, there's a boss over there who wants to buy the two fish you caught at a high price. The biggest one is 50,000, and the smaller one is 30,000. Are you willing to give them up?"
Xu Jiang felt a little regretful, but Zhang Fan refused to leave, and he couldn't force him to stay, so he could only discuss it with Zhang Fan.
Someone wanted to buy the big fish he caught.
"I won't sell the biggest one, no matter how much it's for. We'll keep it for ourselves. As for the remaining small one, 30,000 is fine. Boss Xu, just help me sell it. I won't go there..."
Zhang Fan didn't like to bargain with anyone. He felt that 30,000 yuan for a fish was a good price, so he agreed immediately.
Soon, the largest fish was kept and the smaller one was sold.
Xu Zijun drove the RV to a waterside with shade from trees and prepared a fish feast.
Because the fish was so big, it was cut into many pieces. Xu Zijun marinated some of the pieces and put them in the refrigerator in the car, while he selected the most tender and delicious meat on the spot and started to fry it in a pan until it was golden brown.
When frying fish, Xu Zijun specifically used fish oil because fish oil can bring out the freshness of the fish and make it brown and refreshing.
The fried fish was sprinkled with ingredients specially prepared by Xu Zijun. It became fragrant after being fried, which made people's appetites grow. However, Xu Zijun only selected three pounds out of the more than 100 pounds of fish to fry.
The fish meat we choose is the best and most elastic, a small piece on the back of the fish wing that is most suitable for frying.
They also got a few yellow croakers weighing more than half a pound from Xu Jiang. When using this kind of fish to make soup, the fish soup will turn light yellow, just like local chicken soup, and it is extremely delicious.
Moreover, the yellow croaker has no bones and the fish meat melts in your mouth.
They also picked some wild celery by the lake and stir-fried it. Zhang Fan also picked some ground vegetables by the lake and washed them and made a dish of that as well.
That kind of ground vegetable is also called lichen. It looks a little green in color, but has a fragrance.
It is very helpful to add some chopped green onions to relieve greasiness.
When eating, they set up a table under a tree and sat by the lake. There was a cool breeze blowing and the scenery was very beautiful.
"Oh, Xu Zijun, your cooking skills are really good. It's delicious. I'll catch some fish in the afternoon, and we'll catch shrimps and crabs in the evening..."
Hua Yueying enjoyed the meal this time and rarely did she call him "Sister Xu".
Eating here feels different than eating at home.
With the delicious food made by Xu Zijun, Zhang Fan enjoyed the meal very much and felt very comfortable. It seems that there is no need to stay at home all the time. Occasionally going out for a walk will make him feel very different and his mood will be better!
Zhang Fan enjoyed the meal very much. In the afternoon, he went to catch river shrimps with Hua Yueying.
That is, grass shrimps. Those shrimps like to hide in the grass and are very timid. They were having a lot of fun playing in the river with net bags. In the end, Hua Yueying was worried that she would not be able to have a bowl of food in the evening.
Then he used his ability to control water, wrapped the river shrimps with water and pushed them into Zhang Fan's net bag.
In the evening, Xu Zijun made a big bowl of fried rice shrimps, which Zhang Fan liked very much. The shrimps tasted more delicious than prawns and lobsters, but they were a little smaller in size. However, Zhang Fan liked them very much.
By the time they finished dinner, the sky had darkened and fireflies began to appear all around.
Xu Zijun took out a flute from somewhere, stood by the river and started playing the flute. Hua Yueying was playing in the water, while Zhang Fan was leisurely browsing his phone by the lake.
Suddenly Hua Yueying and Zhang Fan both raised their heads because they both heard the sound of wind chimes.
I didn’t expect that outside of the office, Tiandi Pawn Shop would have business coming in?
Fortunately, Hua Yueying was well prepared and they all got into the car quickly.
