A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Qingfeng Mountain Fishing Ground is about to open.

A notice posted at the fishing spot stated that there are 10 large fish weighing over 50 kilograms each in the pond, as well as 2 "fish kings" weighing over 100 kilograms each.

As long as you catch it, you can take it with you, and the fishing ground will buy it at a high price.

These were all added during Qi Yue's live stream, so their authenticity is absolutely guaranteed.

The anglers were already impatient.

He was just thinking about catching a big fish.

These days, opening a fishing pond is nothing new, but doing it well is not so easy.

There's a lot to learn about this.

Generally, those who open fishing ponds lose two or three hundred thousand yuan in the first year, and only gradually earn it back after finding the knack.

For example, you should have a rough estimate of how many kilograms of fish to release each day.

You also need to have ideas about pricing and target audience.

Another question is what to do with the fish you catch.

The current practice at the fishing grounds is to sell the fish caught for 4 yuan per jin (500g) and then resell them to the vegetable market for 8 yuan per jin.

The fish that are caught are generally not released back into the reservoir; it's important to ensure that all the fish in the reservoir are "fresh fish."

So you need to contact the farmers market.

These are all experiences.

Qi Yue has never run a fishing pond before. If he were to actually manage it himself, it would be expected that he would lose 200,000 yuan every year, and there would be many other things to worry about.

However, as a boss, he naturally delegated the task to his capable subordinates.

Jiang Mu is particularly good at this, and he has already contacted all the necessary people during this period.

All the rules have been finalized.

姜牧给出的定价是普通区域40块钱一小时，70块钱2小时，120块钱4个小时。

The daily fishing fee is 240, starting at 8 am and ending at 8 pm.

Fish are released into the pond at 7 a.m. every morning based on the previous day's situation. Guests can come in early to watch, but fishing can only begin at 8 a.m.

普通木屋的费用是2人木屋600一天，3人木屋900一天，4人木屋1200一天，带厨具。

There are also more expensive VIP fishing spots for one person, costing 500 yuan per day.

In addition, there is a fishing tackle shop and a restaurant next to the fishing spot. The restaurant can process the fish that customers catch, ensuring that they are not shortchanged.

Everything was arranged perfectly.

Qi Yue's attention has been focused on the fishing spot these past few days.

"A regular fishing spot costs 240 a day. Fishing grounds are really not easy to make money from. There are only so many spots, so we have to raise the ticket price to make a profit."

"The ticket price for this scenic spot is 100 yuan per day. Because there are enough visitors, we make a lot of money."

Qi Yue looked at the prices at the fishing spot and commented.

Considering the development of Qingfeng Mountain Fishing Ground, this price is quite reasonable.

Those scenic fishing spots, some costing 400 yuan a day, still attract a constant stream of visitors.

The fishing grounds will open on Saturday.

On Saturday, many anglers carrying fishing boxes and holding fishing rods suddenly appeared on the city's subway.

These were all individual travelers who felt that taking the subway was more convenient, so they didn't drive.

The fishermen exchanged glances, all showing mutual appreciation.

Some might chat for a bit.

"Are you also going to Qingfeng Mountain fishing grounds?"

"That's right! It just opened, we should hurry and experience it, tickets are hard to get!"

"I wonder if I'll be able to catch any fish. Hopefully, it's not a paid fishing pond!"

"No, Mr. Qi is a decent person. I watched them put the fish in!"

"The fishing grounds of big brands are reliable, unlike those small, unregulated ponds in the countryside, which are cramped and have few fish, making for a less enjoyable fishing experience!"

During their conversation, they got off the subway and headed straight for Qingfeng Mountain Fishing Ground.

Many people arrived early in their cars.

The fishing spots for the first day are already sold out.

There are no more fishing spots available for purchase during business hours.

Since it had just opened, it was a very popular spot, and many people came to fish because it was something new and exciting.

After a month or two, when the hype dies down and things return to normal, we'll see the true quality of the fishing spots.

The scene was truly lively.

As soon as anglers entered the fishing area, they felt refreshed and relaxed by the beautiful scenery.

Some came as a group of four, renting a large wooden cabin. The four middle-aged men relived the joys of their childhood, just like when they went to the internet cafe together to play games as kids. That feeling was especially refreshing.

Some guys come with their partners. The fishing spot is very user-friendly. There are wooden cabins with two fishing spots that can accommodate four people, and there are also chairs for resting.

Everything here is wonderful.

Soon, everyone arrived at their spots and began to prepare their nests.

Since it was the first day of business, Qi Yue naturally came as well.

He found an ordinary fishing spot and planned to fish for a few hours.

Many anglers came to take photos with him, and Qi Yue responded with a smile.

The opening ceremony should definitely be a grand affair. For example, when Xiaomi launched its car, Lei Jun personally opened the car door for the buyer.

The boss also has to help with the business.

One angler laughed and shouted:
"Let's all work harder and make Boss Qi cry!"

"Hahaha, let's catch all the big fish and make him lose money!"

"come on!"

Hearing him shout that, everyone else laughed.

Everyone was in high spirits. The reservoir had fish of all sizes, and plenty of good ones; it all depended on everyone's skills.

Soon, everyone started baiting the fishing spot, casting their lines, and waiting.

I must say, there are indeed many fish in the reservoir; many people catch one in no time.

Judging by the speed at which the fish are being caught, there must be quite a few fish in the reservoir.

Those who caught fish were all smiles, while those who hadn't caught any yet continued to wait.

After waiting a while, the fish was served.

Many people don't plan to take any fish home unless they catch a big one.

Generally, fish caught are sold back to the fishing grounds, a practice known as "returning fish".

The fishing spot buys back fish at 4 yuan per jin (0.5 kg). If you can catch 20 jin, you can earn 80 yuan.

Some anglers even make money by going to fishing grounds, but they don't sell to the fishing grounds; instead, they sell their catch at the market.

Skilled fishermen can sell their catch for ten yuan a pound, enough to recoup the cost of fishing.

After earning it back, I'll come back the next day.

Make money this way.

This behavior is called "brick-moving" or "gold farming" in the game.

I'm just earning a small fee for my hard work.

These types of players are an important part of the game, including at Qi Yue's fishing grounds.

Some people wear old, tattered slippers, rumpled pants, and a vest; they have dark skin. These are often seasoned anglers who make a living this way.

The fishing grounds were filled with excitement and joy.

Just then, one of the people’s fishing rods suddenly began to shake violently.

"Holy crap, a huge shipment!"

He got excited, immediately secured the pulley, and started pulling the lever.

He realized something was wrong as soon as he pulled. The fish was surprisingly strong, and the fishing rod bent instantly. He was almost pulled into the pond.

"Hold the grass!"

The man stood up and shouted, forcefully pulling back the fishing rod in an attempt to stabilize it.

The fishing rod was bending at an increasingly steep angle, and it looked like it was about to explode.

Moreover, the power coming from the other end is getting stronger and stronger.

The man lost his balance and was pulled down, then lay down with his head facing the reservoir, holding his fishing rod, trying to fight the big fish while lying down.

Everyone around was looking this way.

The tourists who came to fish on the other side were also watching.

"A big shipment has been shipped!"

"How big must that fish be!"

"Help me!"

Someone shouted.

Several kind-hearted men nearby immediately went over to help grab him.

Everyone was a regular caster, and no one touched the fishing rod.

He had to handle the fight with the fish himself.

This guy was determined and used all his strength. His veins were bulging and his whole body was trembling.

However, the fishing rod bent at an increasingly steep angle, and then, under the watchful eyes of a group of people,

"Snapped!"

The fishing rod exploded and broke into two pieces.

The stick exploded!
Half of the fishing rod remained in the man's hand.

The other half was carried into the lake.

After a short while, the float slowly rose to the surface, clearly indicating that the big fish had escaped from the hook.

Some people around felt it was a pity, while others gloated.

Someone had already filmed this scene.

The angler who had his rod broken was furious. He threw the broken rod on the ground and roared angrily:

"Grass!"

"Grass!"

He yelled "Damn it!" more than a dozen times in a row, which shows how angry and regretful he was.

But no way.

Beside Qi Yue, a fellow angler remarked:

"That fish is amazing, it really blew the rod off, it must have had a lot of strength."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue thought to himself:
"I guess it's those two 'fish kings' weighing over 2 pounds. They came out of the favor chest and they're incredibly strong."

"It won't be easy to catch it."

"This is also a major characteristic of the fishing ground."

"It all depends on whether anyone can succeed."

Both of the 2-pound fish were put in by Qi Yue.

Just like the black and white rabbits and the goose that can't be caught in a ring toss, the system describes the big fish as having exceptional strength and being extremely difficult to catch.

These two are freshwater fish and are herbivores.

These two guys will be the biggest prize at the fishing spot from now on.

It's like how people used to try to catch rabbits or lasso geese.

Once the two king fish become famous, there will be no shortage of people who want to collect them.

Then we'll see what everyone's abilities are like. (End of Chapter)
