Chapter 505: Chapter 295 Xie Tianhao’s Request
The food ordered from the hotel arrived, Xie Tianhao quickly went to call Zhang Yang’s team, Wang Yan and Han Qiang’s side had basically stopped fishing, upon hearing the call they swiftly got up to gather for lunch, except for Zhang Yang’s side, where the fish bites were still plenty, constantly bouncing.
Wang Yan saw Zhang Yang hadn’t moved, leisurely walked behind fishing spot number 155.
"Boss! Put in some bait for lunch, will you? Old Xie has everything arranged!"
"You guys go ahead, I don’t dare leave the bait empty here, if the rhythm breaks, the fish will scatter!" Zhang Yang waved his hand, still reluctant to move.
"You’ve been fishing for three or four hours, aren’t you going to shore yet? Why worry about those few fish! If they scatter, let them scatter! You’ve had a thrilling run all morning!" Wang Yan continued to persuade.
At this point, under normal circumstances, Zhang Yang would have put down the rod and gotten up for lunch, but today Zhang Yang was a bit out of the ordinary, his expression slightly serious, still not meaning to get up.
"You guys eat first, I’m testing the effect of medicated liquor! Right now is the time when new fish bites slow down, and differences appear in the overall fish conditions as new and old fish alternate, thank the fan followers for me!"
"Oh, that’s it, then keep fishing here! Should I save you some food?" Wang Yan, hearing this, didn’t continue to argue, and nodded.
"Anything like rice, or leftover bread or dishes is fine, I don’t know when the bites will stop! I’ll eat after fishing!"
"Got it!"
...
Facing Zhang Yang’s soft refusal, Wang Yan leisurely returned to the front of everyone prepared to turn the fishing platform into a dining table.
"Don’t wait for the captain to eat, he’s still bouncing, busy testing medicine! Let’s eat first! Old Xie, sorry, that’s just his temperament when he gets serious, it’s not aimed at you!"
Xie Tianhao heard this explanation and didn’t mind, everyone had stopped fishing, but Zhang Yang’s side was still bouncing, it’s understandable not wanting to miss the fish conditions, whether he’s really testing medicine or not is not important.
"No worries, let’s leave some food for him and let’s eat!"
Zhang Yang’s fishing skills are indeed impressive, you can’t notice the difference when watching a livestream or jokes usually, but when you’re next to him fishing you feel the formidable suppressive power!
Wang Yan took out a cigarette and passed it around, lighting one himself: "Haha, the skills in black pit fishing we have, were mostly taught by the boss.
This time coming over, we brought a lot of additives that aren’t on the market yet, the boss just reminded me, wait till after lunch, I’ll give you a set to try out!"
"That sounds great, your own medicine, that’s something money can’t buy!"
"Let’s eat, let’s eat, don’t dawdle, these dishes won’t get cold, but the chilled beer will become room temperature if you delay!"
With rounds of urging, everyone gathered around the temporary dining table set on the fishing platform to start eating, soon drinking and chatting in high spirits.
While Wang Yan and his group were having lunch, Zhang Yang was not idle.
His talk to Wang Yan about testing medicine wasn’t just nonsense, he was indeed engaged in the testing.
No one knows how the new fish will bite in tomorrow’s official competition, so researching the eating habits of old fish in the pond and their sensitivity to different concentrations of additives is necessary work.
Based on this demand, Zhang Yang prepared several baits with different concentrations as he fished, feeling the differences in biting patterns to find the most suitable concentration for medicine additives.
Facts prove that any experiment requires adequate data to be more accurate.
If it were an ordinary small-scale black pit fishing ground, the limited number of fish and poor fish conditions make it difficult to obtain valid data from such tests.
However, Jinghai Garden is different, even without adding new fish, the density of old fish in the pond is very high, providing a wealth of valid comparative data for the experiment.
Through experiments, Zhang Yang found that at the current mid-to-late fish conditions stage, hand bait with a new formula of Chinese medicated liquor concentration showed clear differences in eating response compared to previously lower concentration bait.
Specifically, low-concentration bait produced bites during retrieval, but once it reached the bottom, there were hardly any eating actions, occasional float movements were mostly just brushing against the line rather than true eating.
However, after increasing the concentration of added Chinese medicated liquor, the chances of fish eating bait after it reached the bottom significantly increased.
Moreover, the fish caught in this situation were mostly old fish exhibiting strong force, with skin color differing from newly stocked fish.
This detail is highly valuable, implying Zhang Yang’s team has a new option, even if the new fish perform poorly on competition day or the draw position is unfavorable with short new fish competition periods, by adjusting the concentration of Chinese medicated liquor they can catch some old fish.
The fish conditions at Zhang Yang’s fishing spot at number 155 continued bouncing until nearly two o’clock in the afternoon, only then did the bites gradually thin out, during this period Zhang Yang only drank a bottle of iced red tea from Meng Fan, without eating a single bite of food.
Feeling that continuing fishing was pointless, Zhang Yang dropped the fishing rod, stretched, and stood up from the fishing spot.
"Teacher Zhang Yang, are you preparing to pack up?" At this moment, Xie Tianhao not far behind him also stood up.
Zhang Yang was surprised, any slight movement on his part was immediately noticed by the other party, had they been watching him all along.
"Ah! No bites, going to the bathroom!" Zhang Yang vaguely responded.
"We’ve saved some food for you! I heard from Teacher Wang Yan you all didn’t eat much this morning!"
