As one pomfret after another was caught, it not only increased the contestants' scores, but also made all of them's wallets bulge.
The value of pomfret has been mentioned before; once this fish is brought back to shore, it's truly easy to sell.
However, another problem has now arisen for all the contestants: it's getting late, and lunchtime is approaching.
Now all the fishermen have to make a choice: whether to continue fishing on the deck or go have lunch first to replenish their energy before fishing again.
These two choices represent different outcomes, and until today ends, no one knows which choice will be better.
Some brothers might say, "Sharpening your axe won't delay your work." If you want to catch more pomfret in the afternoon, you definitely need to get yourself in the right state of mind for a better harvest.
This old saying is certainly true, but it seems a bit inappropriate in the current situation.
After all, Bai Yu and his group were fishing, and what they encountered was a school of pomfret, which were alive and swimming in the sea.
Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting. This saying applies to chopping wood, or to anything else that doesn't move and just waits for you to do it.
However, that's not necessarily true for schools of fish. By the time you finish lunch and return to the deck to continue fishing, the pomfret on the seabed may have already left.
In any case, Bai Yu had already made his decision: to fight the fighting pomfret to the death.
Eating? What's there to eat? He skipped breakfast because he was fishing for bull trevally. He can keep fishing even with a catch worth a dozen dollars without eating. There's no reason why he should go eat lunch if it's a pomfret worth a hundred or two dollars.
You can eat whenever you want; if all else fails, you can always have a snack at the end.
However, if you miss this school of pomfret this time, you never know when you'll be able to encounter it again.
So when it was twelve o'clock, Bai Yu didn't make any move and continued fishing on the deck, catching pomfret one after another.
In this competition, more than 500 contestants competed at the same time. While not all of them made the same choice as Bai Yu, at least more than 90% of the contestants chose to skip lunch and continue fishing.
Especially after learning about the value of fighting pomfret, these contestants became even more motivated to fish.
It was as if they weren't fishing for fish, but for banknotes, which were beckoning to them.
This description seems reasonable. For the pomfret caught by these contestants, as long as the size is over one jin (500 grams), it costs more than one hundred yuan. If it is slightly larger, weighing two or three jin, or three or four jin, the price is even higher.
This thing is just a money-making scheme; it's definitely much easier than working hard to earn money.
To give a very simple example, on the fishing boat where Bai Yu was, there was another contestant fishing at the bow, who was the first contestant to catch a pomfret today.
In his normal life, he was an ordinary office worker, earning only five or six thousand yuan a month.
This is only because he lives in his hometown county. Although the income is not very high, it is enough for him to live on.
He didn't come to the competition this time for the huge prize of tens of millions; he came for the fact that in previous years, the lowest-paid contestants earned five figures.
The championship is too far away for him, but as long as he fishes seriously, he can catch fish and make money from it, and that's what he values.
Then the other party resolutely took leave to participate in the competition, risking having their wages docked, in order to earn money from fishing.
His choice proved to be correct; putting aside the previous day's results,
On the second day of the competition, by noon he had already caught nearly twenty pomfret, each weighing more than two pounds on average.
Not counting his other catches, the income from these twenty fighting pomfret alone exceeded his monthly salary.
But that's not all. He continues fishing and is still catching pomfret, further enriching his catch.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he wanted the school of pomfret to last longer so he could catch more pomfret.
The things this contestant is looking forward to, or is facing, are not uncommon in this competition; in fact, they are the things that most contestants are facing.
However, some things are better left unsaid; it's not very realistic to actually achieve them.
You can encounter schools of fish, but they will also disperse.
Before 1 p.m., all the contestants started to lose their ability to catch pomfret, and even the frequency of bites from other fish began to decrease.
It was as if, in an instant, all the fish in the sea had disappeared, and the entire seabed had become empty.
After waiting for several minutes without a single fish biting the hook, Bai Yu decisively packed up his line and stopped fishing.
It's a good thing the fish have left; at least he can now go eat and take a rest.
Bai Yu is a very content person, and he is already very satisfied with what he has gained today.
So he can eat without any burden, and even eating slowly is not a problem.
Fortunately, there were relatively few people having dinner tonight. Even though it was almost one o'clock, there was still food in the kitchen when Bai Yu went there, and it was all hot.
Bai Yu has only eaten a little snack since she woke up today; she hasn't eaten any meals.
So for lunch, he ate a little bit too much.
There were two plates just for serving the food, and those were only for the side dishes. He used a separate small metal bowl for the rice.
Then, on the second day at noon, Bai Yu once again performed a mukbang (eating broadcast) in the live stream.
A textbook example of a mukbang (eating broadcast) that was filmed in one continuous shot without any editing.
Just the food Bai Yu ate was enough for at least four or five people. And at the end of the live stream, Bai Yu even went to get more rice and another plate of vegetables.
Despite Bai Yu's enormous appetite and the sheer amount of food she ate, the chat in the live stream was unusually harmonious, almost unbelievably so.
