The original mix of 1:0.4 water ratio for the small yellow surface scattering was adjusted by Zhang Yang to 1:0.5 wet scatter.
The river water is quite deep, and the returning fish might be scared of diffusion, so it's appropriate to slightly increase the water ratio for higher tolerance.
As for the flavor profile, the base of barley sweet potato paste and brown sugar paste remains unchanged, while the dosage of energy fruit acid was intentionally multiplied by Zhang Yang.
As a compound acid additive, it responds to the high-temperature water environment in summer, now with outdoor temperatures above thirty degrees, precisely the most effective time for fruit acid.
With three pounds of wet scattering, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and poured in two caps of fruit acid. The bait created not only had a rich grain aroma but also a very intense scent that was sour and slightly pungent even from several meters away.
Zhang Yang was very confident about the effect of the additive, so after preparing the bait, he packed it into the food box and completed other preparation work, waiting for the bell to ring to start fishing.
...
On the other side, volunteer staff began gathering.
To maintain the "so-called fairness," the area for volunteers was random, with placards distributed randomly across the forty competition zones.
The tall-legged beauty had a somewhat unclear feeling from the morning's results.
The lsp named Zhang Yang had an incredibly impressive score, beating the second place in Zone 27 by over forty pounds.
During the summary of results, the beauty had specially looked at the records of fish catches in other zones, and there were very few over a hundred pounds. She went through several pages but still didn't see anyone with a larger catch than Zhang Yang.
When weighing in the morning, the tall-legged beauty's first reaction was to think the opponent was just lucky, but after discussing with her father and a few judge uncles during lunch, she realized that catching so many fish at a regular non-edge fishing position requires genuine skill beyond mere luck.
Some people might gripe about this part, thinking she's just a volunteer receiving a stipend, still a girl, so does she really understand fishing?
Thinking that Zhang Yang caught over a hundred pounds and getting competitive feels a bit ridiculous, doesn't it?
Actually, it's not. Among the forty-person volunteer team, quite a few indeed didn't understand fishing, and even some of the rules were specially trained on yesterday before starting work today.
But among those who didn't understand, the tall-legged beauty isn't included.
The tall-legged beauty is named Lin Nianwei, just graduated from university this year.
Mention this name, and not many people in the fishing circle recognize it.
However, mentioning her father Lin Yaozong is a different story. In the domestic competitive fishing circle, he's a veteran, a standing committee member of the Chinese Fishing Association, and the head judge of the Judging Committee, well-known throughout the circle.
Under her father's influence, Lin Nianwei was exposed to platform fishing from a young age, and she has a natural admiration for skilled anglers.
If her first impression of Zhang Yang wasn't so poor, Su Nianwei might have looked up to him simply for his single session's performance of over a hundred pounds, almost scoring top among the competition zones.
But thinking about the way he looked at her in the morning with that unmasked gaze, Su Nianwei felt a sense of resistance.
With this complex state of mind, Su Nianwei received her afternoon zone certificate.
"Sis, which zone are you in? I'm in Zone 11!" At this moment, a young man in his twenties greeted Su Nianwei. Judging by their looks, their facial contours slightly resembled each other.
"I'm in Zone 31!"
"Zone 31, the other side of the river, it's a bit far, want to swap?"
Su Nianwei was about to refuse, but her peripheral vision caught a somewhat familiar back shadow not far from the fishing spot by accident.
"Alright, I'll treat you to ice cream later!"
