The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 369 Partner
Gu Lanxi posted on her WeChat Moments simply to make her husband happy.

Unexpectedly, Ni Bingyan saw it and left her a message.

After chatting privately, the two discovered that she had spent most of the day guarding such a large lake, but hadn't caught a single fish. Ni Bingyan was heartbroken and arrived with her fishing rod in less than twenty minutes.

Gu Lanxi went to the underground parking garage to pick up the person. The aunt immediately served tea and fruit, but she wasn't interested. As soon as she entered the door, she urged them to go and take a look at the lake.

When the two returned to the lakeside, Ni Bingyan saw the mountain of fish bait and felt her head buzzing.

"Are you going to be working for days and nights? Gathering so much bait?"

Lu Nanting bought all the fishing gear and bait at home online.

Gu Lanxi really built him a fishing platform. He had wanted to fish properly, but he was too busy and never found the opportunity to learn. Instead, Gu Lanxi took the first step.

Ni Bingyan is also a very patient person. It's rare to meet someone in the same sex circle who is interested in this. The two will be working together on a new movie after the New Year. She is very happy and immediately decided to teach her step by step, intending to train herself to be a fishing partner!
Seeing her go from heartbroken to elated in the blink of an eye, Gu Lanxi felt embarrassed: "I have no experience, and I didn't handle it well at first."

"It's alright, I'll explain it to you. The preparation method is different for each type of bait. Write it down, and you'll know it next time..."

Many experiential things can only be learned through practice. Ni Bingyan is a seasoned angler, and also a super wealthy one. He's not afraid of making mistakes, and when he starts sharing his experience, he's incredibly eloquent!
She has basically used all the good products on the market, and she knows their advantages and disadvantages.

Different baits attract different fish; different fishing spots can significantly determine the abundance or scarcity of fish; the water layer distribution of common freshwater fish; the relationship between the target fish species and the fishing rod, line, hook, and float; and techniques for reeling in fish.

Ni Bingyan had never taught anyone else, so she couldn't give a systematic explanation.

Fortunately, Gu Lanxi was clever. After absorbing the information, she automatically organized it in her mind, and combined with Ni Bingyan's operation, she achieved deep memorization.

After correcting her previous mistakes step by step, she successfully caught a small fish in less than half an hour.

It's not even two fingers wide and less than ten centimeters long.

Seeing Ni Bingyan unconsciously sigh, her face showing considerable disdain, Gu Lanxi tilted her head and asked her, "What kind of fish is this?"

"Wheat ears".

Gu Lanxi didn't mind: "This is the first fish I've ever caught, it's a memorable one, Sister Bing, can you take a picture for me?"

Ni Bingyan thought it made sense and quickly took the photo for her.

Then, over the next hour, Gu Lanxi caught more than twenty fish in a row.

At first, I was quite excited, but when I pulled it up and saw this thing, my face immediately fell: "What?! It's you again!!"

Ni Bingyan couldn't help but laugh: "These fish are highly gregarious and extremely greedy. When the minnows are swarming around the bait, as soon as you throw it in, before any other fish even get a chance to bite, they snatch it up."

"They're so good at grabbing tickets, we should give one to every fangirl so they can help you snag concert tickets."

The joke was so lame it made people shiver. Ni Bingyan suppressed a laugh and suggested that she get a longer fishing rod.

"Cast it further, and dip the bait deeper, give it a try!"

While instructing her, Ni Bingyan fished herself, and now her fish basket already contained a bighead carp and a grass carp.

But Gu Lanxi had her own ideas: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. It's not worth abandoning the fish that have already gathered to chase after a large catch with little hope."

This is probably a characteristic of women in finance: they always prioritize a rate of return and are unwilling to waste any effort.

Ni Bingyan is also a practical person, but she has long passed that stage and would find it boring.

However, she never interferes with other people's decisions.

Upon hearing that Gu Lanxi planned to fish for wheat ears to her heart's content, he simply suggested that she tie on an extra fishing hook.

Catching two at once is much faster than catching one at a time, isn't it?

So, when Lu Nanting got off work, Ni Bingyan had already gone home, while Gu Lanxi, wearing an apron, was frying small fish in the kitchen.

These small fish have delicious flesh and are easy to fry.

After bringing them back from the lake, Aunt Xiao cleaned and seasoned them, and Gu Lanxi coated them with batter and fried them directly in the pan until they were golden brown and crispy before taking them out and putting them in a basket!

Even though Gu Lanxi was wearing a hat and mask, fully armed, you could still smell the rich fragrance.

For someone who needs to maintain their figure, the allure of deep-fried small fish is simply too strong!
As soon as Lu Nanting stepped out of the elevator, he saw her busy in the kitchen. Smelling the tempting aroma, he went straight to the kitchen without going anywhere else!
"You caught fish? How come you have so many?"

That basket was almost full; if you counted them carefully, there must have been dozens!
In the late afternoon, she was still whining, saying she hadn't caught a single fish!
"Yeah, Sister Bing was fishing by the river nearby this afternoon. She saw my post on WeChat Moments and came over to teach me." Lu Nanting looked at her with great admiration: "You're really amazing! You learned it in no time!!"

"No, not really. Learning is endless. I've only learned a little bit."

She happened to encounter a school of fish, and she wasn't greedy, otherwise she wouldn't have had such a large harvest.

Gu Lanxi spoke modestly, but her chin unconsciously rose slightly.

Aunt Xiao cleaned the fish and left on her own. The other aunties had also gone home, leaving just the two of them in the kitchen.

Lu Nanting ran over and hugged her, resting his head on her shoulder as he watched her fry fish.

My house is next to a lake, and we even built a fishing platform there. Learning to fish is a way to relax.

Gu Lanxi is not a particularly boisterous person in private, so this kind of activity suits her quite well.

The first experience was great.

It feels like all the fuss I did for most of the day was to add to my happiness.

"If everything goes smoothly from the start and it feels like there's no challenge, I probably won't be as happy. Isn't that strange?"

"What's so strange about it? It's just human nature."

The two chatted casually until the fish was fried.

The eldest son filled a bamboo basket to the brim with oil-absorbing paper!
"What if we can't finish all this?"

They could only eat two of these fried small fish at most each. Seeing so many, and knowing that his wife had caught and fried them herself, he felt bad for not eating them properly.

Gu Lanxi shared his concerns, so she had already made up her mind:
"I'll divide it into three portions, first send it to my parents, then go to my eldest and second sisters-in-law's houses, one plate for each family. I've already told them that I'll have dinner at my second sister-in-law's house before coming back."

It's only six o'clock now, and if I take a walk around, I'll arrive just in time for my second sister-in-law's dinner.

Gu Lanxi gets along very well with her parents-in-law and sister-in-law, and in her opinion, this operation is quite ordinary.

But Lu Nanting had worked all day and was so tired at home that he just wanted to lie down. Hearing this plan made his eyes go black!
Even if several families live close by, it will still take at least an hour to go around!
He really didn't want to go.

Therefore, one must be very careful when making suggestions:

"How about we just post it on WeChat Moments and call it a day?"

Gu Lanxi glanced at him sideways, her tone low and languid: "Last time, Second Brother Sang drove around most of the Fourth Ring Road..."

Look at other people's husbands.

I don't know how many times I've fished, but I still have to show off.

On her first fishing trip, she even cooked the fish herself to share with her family, but he made all sorts of excuses!
Lu Nanting instantly regained his senses!
"Wait! You want me to take a picture and post it on Weibo! I have to show it off! I'll be really upset if anyone doesn't know about this!!"

Seeing that he was getting anxious, Gu Lanxi snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

But Lu Nanting felt his phone vibrate. When he opened it, he saw a photo sent by Gu Lanxi: a large basin filled with dozens of fish.

"Don't post this one, or a bunch of people will start calling me a trypophobia sufferer."

"No one will complain no matter how many photos of Jin Douzi there are!"

"But these aren't gold beans!"

Gu Lanxi squinted and remained silent.

Well, the fisherman, fresh out of the oven and brimming with a sense of accomplishment, won't tolerate the slightest dissent.

Lu Nanting sent a basket of fried small fish and Lao Ding's "big white cat" picture. He didn't bring any captions. Afterwards, with tears in his eyes, he picked up the basket and followed his wife on their after-get off work parade.

Xiaoxi's holiday was truly colorful.

According to her, the biggest obstacle she didn't do these things before was not that she didn't want to try, but that she didn't have the money.

Hahaha~
