Chapter 308: Chapter 287: Fried Fish Doesn’t Taste Good Anymore, I Only Want Hot Pot!

"What?" Jingyi’s Mother was a bit surprised, "Can you just catch a big fish like that?"

"Of course, watch me."

Chen Mo found his own fishing rod, attached a big piece of Xiao Huang’s bait, silently praying in his heart, it had to be a big fish!

The four mothers followed behind with five little kids.

The one truly shocked was Old Zhao!

He had been chatting on his phone nearby, and when he saw Chen Mo carrying a tree branch, sticking a bit of yellow bait onto a safety pin, preparing to fish, Old Zhao was stupefied.

First, he took a picture of Chen Mo, then trotted over, "What’s going on, Boss Xiao Chen? Are you saying that the fish hotpot you just ate was caught fresh and cooked right away?"

"What did you think? If you’re eating fish, it has to be freshly killed."

Hiss...

Old Zhao felt his understanding being challenged again, who does this kind of thing?

So in this case, is the fishing done for the sake of the hotpot, or is it that the hotpot is eaten to deal with the fish that’s caught?

Regardless of how you put it, can fish really be caught just by wanting to?

Old Zhao looked at the equipment in Chen Mo’s hand with disbelief, "No way, Boss Xiao Chen, can you really catch fish with just this branch? And a big fish too? I feel like you’re bluffing a bit."

Chen Mo smiled without saying anything, Jingyi’s Mother also covered her mouth and giggled, "The other parents didn’t believe us earlier either, but weren’t we eating fish hotpot?"

Old Zhao was still skeptical, but on second thought, if it were someone else, this would indeed be quite far-fetched, like that chubby man earlier, when Old Zhao came over, he saw him standing by the river holding a fishing rod, and even after he went to eat hotpot, he didn’t see him catch a single fish.

But if it were Boss Xiao Chen, somehow nothing seems impossible, after all, he’s seen quite a few outrageous things with Boss Xiao Chen.

Old Zhao thought for a bit, "Alright then, Boss Xiao Chen, go ahead and get started, let me see how you catch a big fish."

Meanwhile, Old Zhao opened his phone’s video recording function, thinking if Boss Xiao Chen could really catch a big fish, once the video is posted in the group, wouldn’t the people there go crazy knowing there’s fresh-caught fish hotpot?

Yes, yes, that’s the way to go.

Old Zhao pointed his phone at Chen Mo and started recording!

While Chen Mo held the fishing rod, unlike the first time fishing, this time he didn’t even throw the hook into the water, instead, he extended his arm to position the hook as far away as possible.

But he just didn’t throw it in, only holding the hook about ten centimeters above the water surface.

Then, a shake!

Chen Mo shook vigorously; when he was shaping the bait earlier, he had kneaded two pieces, a large one and a small one.

The large one was hooked onto the safety pin, while the small one was gently wedged onto the thin line, and with a shake, the small piece of bait immediately fell into the water.

"Ha, you even know how to chum the water? I’ve never seen chumming like this; when we go out, we throw tens of kilos of bait into the water, what can this fingernail-sized piece do?"

Chen Mo glanced over, "Haha, weren’t you just having hotpot over there?"

Father Wu Xiaofeng squatted down to tidy up his fishing rod, "I am, just came over to pack up some stuff."

In fact, Wu Xiaofeng still wanted to come and watch the fishing.

Why couldn’t I catch anything with my Ten Thousand Yuan fishing rod, yet he manages with just a branch? This was really something Wu Xiaofeng couldn’t get over.

He came over to watch, thinking if Chen Mo could catch something, he’d sneakily try some of that bait when Chen Mo wasn’t looking.

He replayed it all just now.

If he must compare, everything except the bait he had was better than what Chen Mo was using, so if anything was the problem, it had to be that bait!

Wu Xiaofeng squatted as if tidying up his things, but actually, all his attention was on Chen Mo’s fishing rod.

Chen Mo was watching too.

He just pondered, if throwing the hook in couldn’t guarantee catching a big fish, then why not let the fish bite willingly?

It’s just like doing business.

In the current situation, Chen Mo’s bait is the scarce commodity, the initiative is entirely in his hands, what is there to fear?

Chen Mo kept a sharp eye on the water surface.

The small piece of bait hadn’t been in the water long before ripples began to appear in that spot, seemingly as though fish were coming!

Chen Mo gripped the branch tightly, feeling a bit tense.

In the blink of an eye!

Whoosh～

A fish suddenly jumped up from where the ripples were, Chen Mo reacted quickly, feeling that the fish wasn’t very large, he immediately flicked the hook up, and the fish fell back into the water.

"Damn!"

Wu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, what just happened?

"Wait a minute, how did the fish jump up to bite the hook? Does that even make sense?"

Old Zhao was a bit unbelieving as well, "What the heck, this is like Jiang Ziya fishing?"

Chen Mo continued watching the water, only to see ripples getting more intense in that spot, and then...

There you are!

Another fish suddenly leaped from the water.

No way, this bait was just too tempting, you could smell it through the water, any fish would have a hard time resisting!

Chen Mo focused intently, seeing this time that the fish jumping out of the water was pretty big, he even subtly lowered the hook to make it easier for the fish to bite.

"Flap flap..."

The fish bit the hook, its body struggling and flopping, making pleasant sounds against the water.

At the same time, Chen Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.

In his mind, the bait’s countdown just happened to end.

"This one’s good, at least six pounds, bigger than the last one!"

Effortlessly reeling in the fishing rod, Chen Mo used his hand to grasp the fish’s gills and carried it off, "Come, let me show you how to slice fish fillets."

The four young mothers followed Chen Mo, dumbfounded, back to the hotpot stall.

In truth, that scene just now had indeed overturned their understanding of fishing a bit, even making one mother question whether her husband really always came home empty-handed, or was it just an excuse?

Dumbfounded.

Wu Xiaofeng, truly dumbfounded this time.

Seeing Chen Mo not paying attention, he decisively reached into Chen Mo’s container and pinched a piece of yellow bait, rolling it into a ball and attaching it to his own hook.

Old Zhao, genuinely dumbfounded this time.

Whoosh~

Old Zhao sent the video he just shot into LuLu’s intelligence fan group. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Old Zhao: "Freshly caught, freshly killed, freshly eaten hotpot, just brutal. Have you guys ever seen fishing like this? Crazy!"
