NFBE Chapter 217: Bad Mentality
Chapter 217: Bad Mentality
Song Anning reeled in the line skillfully, and did not forget to turn around and smile politely at the few people.
"Brothers, stop chatting and come over and take a look..."
"..."
This was specifically said by the person in charge before the competition. Participants who caught a fish had to call someone from the Chamber of Commerce to check.
Before they recovered from their shock, they remembered what they had just said, their faces flushed, and they walked over with their heads held high.
A swordfish weighing about two kilograms, although common and not very big, bit the hook too quickly.
Several people helped Song An Ning take the fish off the hook and put it into the net bag. They smiled awkwardly and then retreated.
Afterwards, Song An Ning repeated the previous action and threw the fishing hook into the sea. This time it was a little slower, but it only took a cup of tea for him to catch a fish again.
"!"
"Where did this girl come from?"
“That’s not right…”
This time it was a red sea bream, red all over with blue spots scattered on its body, which looked quite nice.
Chen Guanghui looked at the fish in the net bag with some envy. He and his master used similar fishing rods and were also fishing in the same place, so why was there no movement on his rod?
At this moment, he suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand sink suddenly. He hurriedly grabbed it, his mind going blank.
"What are you still standing there for? Unloading, reeling in the line, have you forgotten everything I taught you?"
“No, I didn’t forget…
Master, Master! I caught a fish too!
"Don't shout! If you don't do something, the fish will run away!"
Song Anning turned her head and looked at Chen Guanghui. He was pulling the fishing rod in a panic. He caught a fish in front of so many people, but he suddenly couldn't do it.
Seeing this, Song An Ning called the people from the Chamber of Commerce, handed his fishing rod to others, and helped personally.
"Why are you panicking? It's just a fish. Calm yourself first and reel it in. That's right! Don't use brute force..."
With Song An Ning by his side, Chen Guanghui felt particularly at ease. He was much calmer at this time and pulled the fish up little by little.
"It's a black sea bream, which means summer is coming..."
Song Anning said with a smile, and personally stepped forward to untie the hook. She not only told the species of fish, but also explained the fish's living habits and how to eat it. Chen Guanghui listened to his master's explanation and nodded rapidly.
Although he has a stubborn brain, he is good at memorizing things. In the future, he will be able to talk about various fishes calmly in front of others. This feeling must be wonderful.
The person from the Chamber of Commerce helped Song An Ning hold the fishing rod. Suddenly, his hand felt heavy and he quickly called Song An Ning over:
"Girl, you've caught another fish!"
Their people could only assist and not take care of the rest, so Song An Ning had to do it himself and got another black sea bream.
"Amazing... In just a short while, these two have caught four fish.
Some people might sit for a whole morning and still not catch these."
"It seems that this girl is the expert that Master Chen invited..."
After that, the two of them never stopped, and in less than half an hour, the small net bag was full.
Among them, Song Anning also caught a very nice grouper, and Chen Guanghui also caught five or six fish after missing two attempts.
"Girl, there's a box of fish in the back. I'll have someone bring it over."
Seeing the attitude of Song An Ning and the other two, the people from the Chamber of Commerce no longer dared to speak. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and spoke in a much more respectful tone than before.
"Thank you very much..."
Each person has one of these large boxes for storing fish, but they are all placed at the entrance. Because the fishing competition has been held many times, not many of them are used in total.
Generally, one or two net bags are enough.
The actions of several people carrying the boxes attracted a lot of attention, including the ones they met at sea yesterday.
At first, they didn't see Chen Guanghui and Song Anning, they only saw people from the Chamber of Commerce carrying boxes over, and more and more people gathered here.
"Wow, this is a big deal..."
"I don't know who it is. It's only been a short time. They must be really lucky."
Chen Guanghui glanced at the dozen or so people standing behind him. His palms were all sweaty. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but he just felt cold all over.
"Focus on yourself. Through today's competition, I have discovered your problem.
If your mentality is too bad, you are easily disturbed by others, you can't calm down, and you have no patience, how can you fish? "
"Yes……"
Chen Guanghui lowered his head silently. This time he did not cast the rod again. Instead, he pulled over a small stool and sat down, casting his gaze towards the sea.
At this time, Song An Ning pulled up another fishing rod, took it off and threw it into the fish box, then put down the fishing rod and sat down quietly.
The two's actions left the people behind them confused. Were they tired of fishing? Taking a break?
Damn it, they only caught one or two fish and they’re already taking a break?
Especially after those people yesterday saw that it was Chen Guanghui and Song Anning, their expressions all changed. Is this kid really bragging? Did he really catch a fish? And he even had to use a fish box to put it in?
There were two people who didn't quite believe it. They opened the box and took a look. They felt sad and said with a pout:
"What's the point of having more? This competition is based on the selling price of fish, and these are not worth much..."
"That's not true. That grouper can also be sold for a good price..."
"Well, I better go back to fishing. I caught one in just over half an hour."
Seeing the two men stop, some of the onlookers were envious, holding their breath, and returned to their seats, staring at the fishing rods.
There were also many people who made sarcastic remarks. Without being able to say anything about the quantity, they started to mock other people's fish for being worthless. Some of those who said this had not even caught a single fish.
Seeing Song An Ning sitting down without saying a word, Chen Guanghui thought that his actions had made his master angry. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Song An Ning say:
"Did you hear what the people behind you said just now?"
"Yeah, I heard that."
"What do you think?"
Chen Guanghui thought about it for a moment and clenched his fists, feeling somewhat unconvinced.
"They say I only catch cheap fish, so I'll catch expensive ones!"
Song An Ning didn't say anything, just chuckled, and the old man next to him also laughed.
"Master, am I wrong? Then..."
"No."
Song Anning waved his hand and asked Chen Guanghui to pick up a handful of sand and not move.
"What is this doing?"
"Try to hold it harder..."
Chen Guanghui did as she said and held the sand tightly. Now, countless sand grains flowed through his fingers. He tried to hold on to it with more force, but the sand seemed to be playing a joke on him and flowed even faster.
“Life is like this, the more anxious you are to get something, the less likely you are to get it.
Brother Chen, you care too much about what others say and want to get results immediately to prove yourself.
Fishing is a way to cultivate your mind. Holding a fishing rod and fishing, you can still have fun even if there are no fish.
Think about it carefully, in the past few years, has there been a time when you fished just for the sake of fishing?
The fun of fishing is that you never know what you're going to catch next. If you just focus on catching good fish or big fish, you'll lose the fun."
Chen Guanghui threw away the sand in his hand, sat quietly on the stool and shook his head.
In the past few years, he came to the beach just to catch fish. Every time he did, he would be so anxious that he would scratch his head. The more others laughed at him, the more anxious he became.
This matter has become an obsession, and he has long forgotten the original self who came to the beach to enjoy the scenery.
He thought Song An Ning would continue to talk about these big truths, but she stood up, stretched, and waved at him with a smile.
"So what are you still standing there for? Keep fishing.
Do you still want to dwell on the sour words and twisted logic that others have said? Including what I just said, just listen to it, do what you want to do, and don’t care what others say?
"The registration fee is so expensive, don't waste it!"
Before Chen Guanghui could react, he heard hearty laughter coming from the side.
"Hahaha……"
