Chapter 1549 - 1549
Liu Zhizhong set up a new spot, right where the first Giant Green Fish came ashore. Between the two deep Huajian points at Shuangxin Valley, there's a stretch of water like a narrow ravine.
Between those Huajian points, there are quite a few scattered stones and large rocks, and the water is deep enough. Liu Zhizhong tried before, even the shallowest areas were four or five meters deep, while the deepest reached eight or nine meters.
Such a body of water is just perfect for the Giant Green Fish to survive and use as a refuge.
So, Liu Zhizhong plans to choose the area with the most suitable depth to create a shelter spot, where the Giant Green Fish will likely pass through after escaping.
He chose the spot and tossed in a few snails. For spots like this, the quantity to bait is particular—not too much, not too little—a third of what goes into the two main spots will do. Bait once every two days works perfectly.
The Fishing Man truly has a knack for nurturing fishing spots.
Once he had sorted out the three spots, Liu Zhizhong went back to the courtyard to enjoy the moonlight and tea, waiting for Zuo Xintong. If she returns, great; if not, he'll just go to bed early since tomorrow he'll be up for taking the helicopter with the two cousins back to Tianping Peak!
Thinking about this camping trip, Liu Zhizhong is pretty excited, hehe...
Of course, there's some boredom too. Liu Zhizhong sent Xiang Mingdong, the secretary, a message asking if there were any moderately important events today at the Big Market?
Xiang Mingdong is very agreeable with Liu Zhizhong, always ready to help. In this regard, he certainly understands more than Zhang Hongyang.
The Xiang Family in Huayang City is indeed a local powerhouse, with wide-reaching connections. Xiang Mingdong quickly finds out what's happening.
According to the message he sent back to Liu Zhizhong, someone noteworthy from Tiandu passed through Huayang City's Big Market and invited Zuo Xintong for dinner. The specific character was unclear, possibly a deputy minister from some department over in Tiandu!
Liu Zhizhong did not delve further into it. Seems like Zuo Xintong's family had visitors, and a bit of socializing is perfectly normal.
Later, Liu Zhizhong also chatted with Zhang Minmin, teasing her, leaving her simultaneously annoyed, shy, and longing!
But Liu Zhizhong suggested that once they're at Tianping Peak, they look for some excitement and adventure!
However, Zhang Minmin flatly refused, claiming that if the elder cousin found out, it would be too embarrassing—no way, no way, she has her pride!
Liu Zhizhong wanted to call her both playful and vain but refrained, just dragging the conversation with her for a while before dropping it.
As the night grew late, Zuo Xintong didn't return, so Liu Zhizhong decided not to wait much longer and went straight to sleep.
The next morning, when Liu Zhizhong woke up, there was already the aroma of breakfast wafting from the kitchen.
Liu Zhizhong, curious, walked over to take a look.
Lo and behold!
Zuo Xintong was busy in the kitchen!
Even nearing late autumn, she donned a red dress with a kitchen apron tied around her waist, her silhouette tall and slender yet full-figured, swaying and round—sigh... stirring Liu Zhizhong's heart with an itch that wouldn't settle.
Since that first time, there hasn't been a second, this woman truly leaves people longing, yearning, hehe...
"Mayor Zuo, morning! What are you busy with so early, it's supposed to be my job!"
Zuo Xintong turned her head to look at him and smiled softly, "No worries, I can handle it. Have you packed everything?"
"Everything's sorted out. Have you packed?"
"Packed and ready, fishing rods too are all set."
"Well, that's great. By the way... when did you get back last night? Was it quite late?"
