Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King-Chapter 574 - 330: Fish Condition Analysis

Using Musk Herbal Wine as the primary flavor, add a hint of old popsicle flavor. When testing the bait with this plan, the action of the old fish taking the bait was completely different from other baits.

To rule out any potential interference from long-term casting in one spot, Zhang Yang changed spots to the edge of the area and tested a few more times, with very clear results still.

Without a doubt, this is a pretty good flavor additive combination. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The battle was resolved in less than ten minutes, and Zhang Yang's fighting spirit, which had just been ignited, was extinguished again.

No challenge, absolutely no challenge!

"Hey Zhang, have you found the right flavor? Seems like you've caught several fish in a row!" Just as Zhang Yang put down his fishing rod, feeling confident, Han Mocheng from not far away asked.

"Yeah, I got a bit of a feel! Need to try more though!" Zhang Yang didn't want to blatantly lie, so he answered vaguely.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Han Mocheng stood up straight from his spot and walked right over.

"Really found the flavor? Mind sharing?" Han Mocheng rubbed his hands together a bit embarrassedly, clearly very excited.

This combination of action and words gave off a clear sense of discord.

How to understand this description? It's like someone who's quite shy, but because of an unknown need, is bracing themselves to ask a favor from someone they're not familiar with.

"Here, it's this one! You can try it!" Zhang Yang casually divided some of the same bait and handed it to Han Mocheng.

Han took the bait, and the first thing he did was bring it to his nose for a sniff. After that wasn't enough for him, he unhesitatingly pinched a bit off and stuffed it into his mouth, swirling it with his tongue to taste the bait material and the flavor of the additives.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yang was a bit taken aback.

You could say Zhang Yang has traveled far and wide, mixed in the fishing circles for so long, seen bold folks, but never anyone as bold as Han Mocheng, knowing full well it contained additives, yet directly putting it in his mouth without fear of it containing any harmful substances that could burn his mouth.

Zhang Yang himself had tried bait before, but mostly just the basic material kind. Bait with additives should be approached with enough caution to avoid potential issues.

"You're fine, right? I added some additives, and you just toss it in your mouth without fear of it poisoning you mute?" Zhang Yang teased with slight concern.

"I'm fine! Noses can be deceived, but tongues aren't that easy to fool! Your bait's base contains more soybean meal and corn flour, with less than twenty percent shrimp powder and fish meal added!

As for the additives, there's one herbal wine type and another old popsicle type! That's as much as I can tell!"

As Han Mocheng spoke, he smacked his lips, leaving Zhang Yang utterly astonished.

It's not hard to analyze the additive flavors by smelling and tasting—Zhang Yang could also roughly discern them with a sniff.

But being able to identify the base ingredients of the bait just by tasting it, if the other person wasn't bluffing, that was quite something.

The base bait Zhang Yang used, the main ingredients were almost a perfect match to what Han said, even the proportion of the fish meal was about right.

In an instant, Zhang Yang's impression of Han raised significantly by at least a couple of levels.

This guy's got talent!

"Not bad! Quite a sharp palate!" Zhang Yang gave him a thumbs up.

"Haha! Just a little trick! No matter how much I know, it's not as much as you. I've tested many additive combinations but none as quick to get fish as yours!" Han continued.

"I just got lucky!"

"By the way, could you tell me what herbal wine you're using? I could identify some flavors, but there're many unknown ones in it! And if I'm not wrong, there's musk in it!" Han Mocheng continued.

"Exactly! It's our company's own main herbal wine, our flagship product! Have you heard of the Ming Yang Tian Xia fishing gear brand?"

"Oh man, Ming Yang Tian Xia, Zhang Yang, so it's you! I said you looked somewhat familiar from the first sight! I've been following your fishing account for a long time. When I heard your name, I thought it was just someone with the same name, but seeing you with a face mask, I didn't dare to confirm it was actually you!"

"Haha, the sun's too bright, so I wore a mask!" Zhang Yang said, laughing heartily.

"Hey, could you spare one bottle of your herbal wine for me? I'll pay! I've visited our local dealers three or four times, and it's always out of stock! It indeed lives up to the hype now that I've tried it firsthand!"

"Haha, since we met in person, let's not talk about money! Here, I have half a bottle left, if you don't mind, take it, it's yours!"

"Sure! It's definitely the best since it's for personal use! I owe you one!" Han Mocheng eagerly accepted, fearing that Zhang Yang might change his mind.

The charm of fishing as a sport shines through at this moment, able to make two strangers, upon first meeting, quickly lower their guard and engage in effective communication.

"Leave me your number, will you? After checking out the venue, there're still two days till the competition! If I'm free, I'll come to you guys and hang out!" Han Mocheng continued.

"Alright!" Zhang Yang directly took out his phone and added Han Mocheng's WeChat.

After chatting about the fishing situation for a while, the two became even more familiar with each other, talking for over twenty minutes until Liu Zi called for him from a distance, and Zhang Yang then made an excuse to leave.
