Chapter 2376 - 2376:

At this moment, Liu Zhizhong was excited; the fish wasn't big, but decent in weight, caught in one cast!

Lu Jie's heart fluttered too, immediately raising her rod to avoid affecting Liu Zhizhong's control over the caught fish. She was quite a professional female angler, haha...

Du Shali was also very excited. She had long stopped fishing, just sitting between the two, watching them fish, secretly cheering for the man who stirred her heart, haha!

When Liu Zhizhong caught the fish, Du Shali exclaimed with excitement, standing up with a thrill that even made her bust tremble slightly.

She didn't forget to pick up the camera and started filming for Liu Zhizhong. Secretly liking someone means trying to do something for him, right?

With this fish, Liu Zhizhong showcased perfect fish control skills and demonstrated the advantages of his giant rod and line setup, which would definitely excite sponsors when they see it on video, haha...

In less than five minutes, an 18-pound bighead carp was guided ashore by Liu Zhizhong. Indeed, strong fishing skills and strong equipment!

As the two beauties filmed, they could fit their fists into the fish's mouth, in and out, hehe...

Liu Zhizhong broke a slight sweat and said, "Today's caught fish head is enough for chopped pepper fish head, right? The fish head alone, the fish meat can be quickly fried for slippery fish slices, I can do that."

Who knew, Lu Jie gave him a look, "Just right, these two dishes are my specialty, you two take a break; I'll cook the fish, let's see my skills at lunch today!"

Huh?

Liu Zhizhong seemed to have discovered a new continent, who would've thought she was also a culinary expert?

But how could he know, Lu Jie has fallen for him, so she wants to showcase her talents!

"Mr. Lu, didn't expect you to be so skillful?"

"Tsk~~~ You're underestimating whom?"

"Haha, no, no, I wouldn't dare, wouldn't dare..."

As a result, Du Shali felt embarrassed; she wasn't good at cooking either!

Yet, looking at Liu Zhizhong and Lu Jie's excited interactions made her feel lost, but she secretly resolved to practice cooking herself, humph... can't let Mr. Lu show off all the time, right?

Later, the two beauties were still by the waterside, watching Liu Zhizhong kill fish!

Lu Jie could cook but really didn't want to kill fish, because after all, women tend to fear bloodiness somewhat.

Liu Zhizhong fetched tools from the Unimog RV and killed fish right beside the fishing spot. The water quality here is especially good, just right for fish cleaning.

So, right in front of the two beauties, he demonstrated an exceptional fish-killing technique.

First, he stunned the fish, then clipped the root joining the gills, mainly to sever the main blood vessel and let the fish bleed. This scene was indeed a bit brutal, but the two beauties barely managed to watch.

As the blood drained, Liu Zhizhong picked up a knife and scraped the fish scales clean.

Then, he removed the tendons from both sides of the fish. By making a vertical cut behind the gills and on the tail, he could see the tendons under the lateral line of the fish. This stuff is quite fishy, removing it makes the fish meat taste fresher.

Liu Zhizhong pulled one end of the tendon while slapping the fish with the knife blade; soon, a long, white tendon was drawn out, the two beauties exclaimed in delight at the fascinating sight.

In this way, after drawing out two tendons, the fish blood was almost drained.

Liu Zhizhong also removed the fish gills, then washed it in the water and proceeded to make boneless fish fillet.

His knife skills were impressive, ensuring the fish fillet had no bones or fins at all.

The snow-white, translucent fish fillets, without a trace of bones or blood, were simply appetizing.

This fish produced about four pounds of pure, boneless fish fillet, entirely sufficient for eating.

Watching Liu Zhizhong's knife work was indeed a beautiful enjoyment, and the admiration in the hearts of the two beauties for Liu Zhizhong was beyond words.

The remaining fish ribs and such were chopped, to be used later for soup, which was also a good choice.

With everything done, Liu Zhizhong continued fishing while Lu Jie went to the RV to make lunch. Of course, today's main focus was the chopped pepper fish head, after cleaning it weighed five to six pounds, enough for the three of them.

Boneless fish fillets and the like could be saved for dinner.

However, the scraps left from Liu Zhizhong's fish-killing were collected to make bait, hoping to catch some carnivorous fish like softshell turtles in the nearby rock obstacle area, hehe... if he caught them, it would be awesome.

As for Du Shali, she didn't go back to accompany Lu Jie in cooking but stayed with Liu Zhizhong here fishing.

Although fishing avoids talking and requires peace, the fish here indeed seemed inexperienced and continued to bite despite the chatter.

Liu Zhizhong chatted with Du Shali, still measured and prudent. When needed, he humorously responded, creating a comfortable atmosphere.

Du Shali increasingly liked this man, whether it was his appearance, charisma, voice, or humorous demeanor, all deeply captivating, haha...

In her heart, such a man only grew more attractive the more she looked. He was simply incomparable to Secretary Luo, with his fat and big ears!

That kind of greasy old man was gradually repulsive to her.

Being able to sleep with a young man like Liu Zhizhong, my gosh... just thinking about it made Du Shali nearly breathless...

Indeed, despite chatting away, Liu Zhizhong soon snagged another bighead carp, fishing with total joy.

With his encouragement, Du Shali also came over to hold the rod herself, experiencing the thrill of fish reeling.

It's really exhilarating!

The fish was quite large, almost too much for Du Shali to hold steady, hugging the rod with both hands, with the rod nestled in her alluring cleavage, gosh... so scenic, even the rod handle exerted pressure making her heart bend.

Lu Jie, cooking lunch on the RV rooftop, could truly see this situation and smiled mockingly: Vixen, enjoying it, can't you? Haha...

Of course, she didn't know after such experiences, Du Shali truly became addicted to fishing, finding it utterly thrilling.

Previously, Du Shali had consulted Liu Zhizhong on many fishing methods!

And naturally, Liu Zhizhong didn't keep any fishing skills secret, sharing whatever he knew, like finding the spot, making bait, fishing timing, reading the float signals, choosing rods, line setups, and so forth.

Moreover, Liu Zhizhong even mentioned that should Du Shali need anything, he'd gift her a set of fishing rods, long, short, thick, thin, fully equipped, including the gear bag, all for free, guaranteeing top quality.

Du Shali outwardly expressed willingness to pay, but inside she felt sweet; it's fine if no payment was needed, hehe...

After all, she incidentally checked online, those premium items were genuinely pricey! If Liu Zhizhong gifted her such things through special channels, it would cost tens of thousands!
