Chapter 1630 - 1630
After lunch, Zhang Minmin went to rest; taking good care of her pregnancy was her top priority.
As per Zhang Minmin's request, Liu Zhizhong went fishing for the Giant Green Fish again. Catching one would be great. If he couldn't catch a big one, some smaller ones, like those weighing twenty or thirty pounds, would do. She planned to visit Huitian City next week and wanted to bring some fish meat for her father and other relatives and friends.
Bluefish meat is indeed a good thing—rich in nutrients, with excellent taste, especially helpful for the old, weak, women, and the sick. At many markets, bluefish are sold in chunks. Many mothers also buy bluefish for their children.
Good things are never short of a market.
Liu Zhizhong also knew that he might not be able to catch a giant one, but catching some smaller ones was quite possible.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, after moving back and forth between two spots, he caught a 26-pounder and a 17-pounder. There weren't even any over thirty-pound big blues.
Liu Zhizhong felt a little melancholy.
Since losing that colossal one, no other giant had shown up.
After catching a thirty-pounder, none over thirty pounds got hooked.
It seems that the spots for the huge ones are getting smaller, right?
Raising these two spots wasn't easy, but to ruin them is just that simple?
At dusk, Liu Zhizhong caught another small baby blue, only 12 pounds, which really frustrated him. This was practically a baby among the bluefish.
Forget it, he didn't keep this one and released it back into the water.
Let's not dwell on that. Do you remember the other backup escape spot? Liu Zhizhong tried that too, but the water was deep, and there wasn't a single bite!
On Sunday, he continued fishing, but only caught a 20-pounder and a 9-pounder. He kept the bigger one and let the smaller one go.
Liu Zhizhong felt somewhat disheartened as the protagonist aura had faded.
It seems these two spots are truly ruined; they won't yield any decent fish anymore.
Since Zhang Minmin is going to Huitian City next week, she'll take three fish back.
On Sunday night, Liu Zhizhong said with some emotion, "Alas, since Sister Tong left, there's no more big catch in Shuangxin Valley, such a pity..."
Zhang Minmin smiled, "Alright, honey, don't be so melancholic. As long as you persist in fishing, you'll definitely catch those two giants."
"Not possible anymore, these things are quite cunning... unless..."
"Unless what? Drain the water? Hehe..."
Liu Zhizhong laughed and shook his head, "Unless we find another spot with suitable deep water and create two new fishing spots, spaced apart by about three or four hundred meters."
"Then go for it!"
"Yeah, I'll give it a try later!" Liu Zhizhong felt a bit deflated, "But those bigger than the two in my pond are truly at a godly level, hard to come by."
"What if you do encounter them? Hehe... Be optimistic, honey! Even though..."
As she spoke, Zhang Minmin thought of something but didn't continue, just smiled.
Liu Zhizhong also smiled, saying nothing was better than saying anything.
On Monday, new news indeed came back.
This news was personally brought back by Bai Qiuxia.
Mayor Bai finished his mourning period in Huitian City and, after some delay, officially returned to Huayang City.
Bai Qiuxia said: Mayor Zuo entered the highest Party School in Tiandu for a young and middle-aged course, lasting one and a half years, and will no longer serve as the executive vice mayor.
Hearing the news, Liu Zhizhong felt uneasy but knew that Zuo Xintong would never return.
