The RV unfolded, and the mother-in-law was also stunned; indeed, it was time to get down to some proper business.
Liu Zhizhong released the catfish and the old softshell turtle into the river to keep them there and even took photos and videos.
Then, he had Lu Yumei sit under the awning, with her feet on the extended patio that doubled as a living room, enjoying some tea.
He, on the other hand, took a fishing rod to test the water depth along the nearby riverbank and looked for a suitable fishing spot, mainly to prepare for dealing with Zhang Zhengchang.
Half an hour later, Liu Zhizhong found a very nice spot about fifty meters away from the RV camp—a secondary riverbank ledge that would be likely to yield a catch if he prepared it properly.
When it came to fishing, the local fishermen preferred to fish outside Waterfront Park and did not fancy coming to this desolate place. Mainly because Waterfront Park attracted many visitors, campers, and consequently more waste and trash, making it easier for fish to find food. Over time, that became the fishermen's favorite spot.
But Liu Zhizhong felt this secluded spot he found could bring a great catch, as few people had fished there before, it was so peaceful. Those big fish in nature, much like elders among humans, mostly prefer the tranquility.
Fish are much more alert than humans. Any disturbance, whether it's wind in the reeds, or movements and sounds in the water, would provoke a reaction from them.
The fact that a big fish grows so large is due to its high vigilance; they're all near mythical in their elusiveness.
Having found a good fishing spot, Liu Zhizhong prepared the nest material and put it down, but he didn't start fishing immediately, leaving it as it was.
He found the fishing spot a bit narrow, so he brought a shovel and sickle from the RV to clear reeds and wild grass, creating a 20-meter long and wide fishing area with extreme care.
Was such a large fishing area really necessary for him alone? Well, not exactly, hehe...
After preparing the fishing spot and sweating through the effort, he returned to the RV to get a change of clothes and went to the river for a bath.
At that time, Lu Yumei said, "Hey, it's almost half past ten. You go take a bath, and I'll cook lunch, shall I? What do you have in this RV of yours? Can I take a look around and get started?"
"Mrs. Lu, please just sit back and relax. I'm just going to wash off the sweat and will be right back to cook. As for me, I'm used to cooking and taking care of others. If I go a day without doing it, I actually start feeling anxious!"
Hearing this, Lu Yumei really laughed, "You joker, you sure know how to talk. Alright then, I'll eat what's ready. I'm not too familiar with this kind of mobile kitchen in a billion-dollar RV, haha... But you can't go into the river with all that sweat on you; wait until you've cooled down and dried off a bit, otherwise you could catch a cold or get heatstroke, which wouldn't be good! Here, have some tea first to quench your thirst. You've also been busy for quite a bit."
Mrs. Lu's concern was something even Demon Liu had to listen to.
After speaking, Lu Yumei even poured him a cup of tea—warm and very pleasant to drink.
He smiled, nodded, "Alright, I'll rest for a while before going."
He sat down, truly savoring a cup of tea, and only after his sweat had dried did he go to the river outside the reed patch to quickly bathe.
Since this place was upstream of Yangjiang and about four or five hundred meters above Waterfront Park, it was a bit more secluded, so bathing in this bend of the river wouldn't be visible to anyone.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong went in the opposite direction of the prepared fish nests for his bath; he wouldn't venture too close and disturb the fish.
After bathing, Liu Zhizhong started operating the high-tech and labor-intensive kitchen in the RV.
The kitchen inside the RV could be fully extended and pulled outside, supported by hydraulics and standing 80 centimeters off the ground, which equaled working under the awning, and it was quite interesting.
Watching his dedicated cooking, Lu Yumei, sitting in the living room area enjoying tea and snacks, felt a unique sense of satisfaction.
Some say women are born to enjoy life, not sure if that's true, but at this moment, Lu Yumei was indeed enjoying it.
Lunch, prepared by Liu Zhizhong, was very tasty, featuring game from Lake Goddess and fish caught the previous afternoon by the river.
For this meal, he managed to create six dishes and a soup, also steaming a pot of imported rice Feng Xiaoyue brought in her RV. Wow, was that rice fragrant! Lu Yumei, having never tried it before, couldn't stop praising it.
Liu Zhizhong even joked, "Mrs. Lu, do you think we should change the rice we use at home?"
"Hehe... If you're willing to be so considerate, go ahead and change it, hehe..."
After the pleasant lunch, Liu Zhizhong suggested that Lu Yumei take a rest, to sleep on the luxurious big bed inside the RV, to get used to the 'combat environment.'
Such words made Lu Yumei blush, wanting to slap him, but he dodged away quickly. Check latest chapters at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
Liu Zhizhong then went back to check on the new fishing spot.
Good grief, it was a not-too-large water bend, but the currents were calm.
His prepared nests were already active, with many bubbles from fish, indicating that big carp and crucian carp had entered the nest.
Yet, Liu Zhizhong couldn't bear to cast a line just yet; he wasn't all about fishing—first nourishing the nest for a cunning purpose later on.
He had prepared two fish nests, which complemented the nearly 20-meter long fishing spot nicely. Three people could fish there without any problems: two on either side of the nests, and one in the middle between the two nests.
Liu Zhizhong replenished the nest bait, then left everything as it was.
Heading back to the RV, Lu Yumei was still lying in the expansive living room on the white lounge chair, basking in the cool river breeze—her posture was stunningly beautiful...
