The morning passed quickly, and before long it was noon. Bai Yu and Wang Hai then packed up their fishing rods.
Yesterday at noon, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng helped them get lunch. Today, it's Bai Yu and Wang Hai's turn. Everyone should work together to achieve a win-win situation.
To be honest, with Mengniu providing logistical support for the competition, their daily meals have become quite limited.
Yesterday they had a steak set meal for lunch, and today they're even more amazing—they have freshwater prawns in their lunch!
Tell me, is the amount of food Mengniu prepared enough? They're on a small island in the middle of the South China Sea. Even if they prepared some seafood, no matter how precious it is, it wouldn't be enough to show the effort they put into logistics.
But if you get to eat freshwater seafood on the open sea, then that's a really thoughtful gesture; at least the other party is genuinely considering what kind of ingredients to provide.
"Wow, Mengniu is a really good brand. These giant freshwater prawns are really big. This pound must sell for tens of dollars!"
"Shuangzi, after dinner, give me a few bottles of Mengniu milk. Let's all do a commercial for Mengniu together, and show it off to the audience on camera."
Bai Yu ate lunch while talking to Li Shuang, who was sitting next to her.
Bai Yu has one advantage: he will treat those who treat him well even better.
For a sponsor like Mengniu, who is particularly responsible and willing to spend money, Bai Yu naturally couldn't be sloppy. The more Mengniu spent, the more times he would advertise for Mengniu in the live broadcast room.
Take this competition for example. It may seem like it only lasts five days, but Mengniu has invested a lot in it.
Leaving aside the value of the milk they gave us, the food alone—various fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs, seafood, rice, flour, cooking oil, and other necessities—was worth over 200,000 yuan.
They even got three cows, meaning that the two or three hundred people in this competition would need to eat three cows in five days.
Generally speaking, an adult bull weighs around one ton and has a meat yield of 40% to 50%, while three bulls would yield around one and a half tons of meat.
In addition, those beef bones can also be used, whether for stewing soup or for extracting marrow, they are quite good.
Overall, the daily beef quota for each person in this competition, whether it was the competitors or the staff, was quite high.
Basically, if we're just talking about eating meat, each person could eat more than a pound of beef every day during these few days, which is an extremely high proportion.
Besides beef, there are many other things as well; Mengniu has really gone all out.
So even if Bai Yu gives Mengniu a few more advertisements after lunch, it's not unreasonable at all.
To give Mengniu more exposure, Bai Yu even found a Mengniu logo and hung it on his body.
If the camera focuses on Bai Yu during the subsequent fishing trip, it will be a great opportunity to advertise for Mengniu.
After lunch, Bai Yu prepared to continue fishing.
During the afternoon fishing session, he immediately picked the largest squid from the bait. This one weighed about three or four ounces, making it the largest of all the squids.
The reason for choosing the largest squid was that Bai Yu wanted to use it to catch a larger fish during the hottest part of the day.
Unlike freshwater fish, saltwater fish may stop eating or biting the hook if the weather is too hot or too cold.
However, for sea fish, especially those in tropical waters, temperature does have an impact, but not a significant one; the main factor is whether the fish start feeding.
Judging from what happened this morning, there is definitely no shortage of resources around this small island, and there are plenty of fish. The rest depends on luck, whether a slightly larger fish will bite the hook.
After Bai Yu hooked the squid onto the fishing hook, he stepped out from under the parasol and, with no cover whatsoever, forcefully cast the hook out.
This time, he cast the bait particularly far. The reel spun for a long time just to let out the line. By the time he saw the markings on the reel, the fishing line had already been let out nearly a hundred meters.
Of course, the spot where Bai Yu fished was less than 100 meters from the shore, after all, the parabolic trajectory had to be taken into account.
Even if it wasn't 100 meters, it was still 70 or 80 meters, or even 80 or 90 meters. This was the most forceful time he had ever cast the rod.
This alone is enough to prove one thing: the reel that Bai Yu uses is really smooth, and it's no wonder that Bai Yu spent so much money to buy it.
Another point is that the farther the bait is cast, the deeper the water in the fishing area will be, and the better the resources there will be.
The more likely you are to catch a big fish, or the more frequently you will catch fish.
At this moment, Bai Yu encountered this situation. His reel had just stopped, and he hadn't waited for two minutes when the fishing rod in his hand suddenly started moving, and the reel was rapidly casting out the line.
These kinds of situations were all too familiar to Bai Yu. They often encountered this when they went out to sea to fish before, and each time they managed to catch a big fish from the ocean.
So when he saw the fishing rod react like that again, his interest was immediately piqued, and he grabbed the fishing rod and jerked it upwards.
For big fish, you have to strike hard. The same applies to hooking fish. Only by lifting the rod forcefully can you hook the fish deeper and prevent it from easily getting off the hook.
Fortunately, Bai Yu timed his hook-setting well, and this time he successfully caught the fish that had taken the bait. The rod then bent over.
In Bai Yu's opinion, the fish that took the bait this time was quite large, at least twenty or thirty pounds, definitely the biggest fish he had caught that day.
Feeling the weight of the fish, he was filled with anticipation for what was to come. As long as it wasn't a shark, yellow croaker, or Napoleon wrasse, his score would improve significantly.
A catch of 20 or 30 kilograms would be nothing to brag about in the very first fan fishing competition.
After all, the first fishing competition was held at sea, where you could catch giant fish weighing hundreds of kilograms.
This year's competition is being held on a small island. Although the island is rich in resources, there aren't many big fish, so it won't be easy to stand out in the competition.
That's why Bai Yu got a little excited when he caught a big fish weighing 20 or 30 pounds, thinking that he could pull ahead of the other competitors.
However, the final result was to disappoint Bai Yu.
It's not that the fish wasn't caught, but rather that after it was caught, it turned out to be of a poor quality. The fish that Bai Yu caught this time was a small shark!
It's ridiculous, Bai Yu spent so much effort, only to catch a useless shark in the end. Where can he complain about this?
A lot of time was spent, including using the largest squid, but in the end, my score didn't improve at all, which is a bit disheartening.
The shark that took the bait wasn't very big, only about half a meter long. As for the species, Bai Yu could only identify it as a dogfish, but he didn't really care which one.
In any case, for Bai Yu, no matter what kind of shark it is, it's all the same and has no value. After all, he can't just cut off the shark's fins, can he? If he did that, he would get scolded, and might even end up eating free meals in jail for a while.
Besides, Bai Yu doesn't like eating shark fin, so why would he want shark fin?
After Bai Yu removed the hook from the shark with a hook remover, he lectured the creature and then released it.
