Chapter 530: Chapter 239: Beginning of Fishing Exploration_2

With this explanation, Lin Yang learned of the other party’s well-intentioned efforts. The fees had already been paid upon arrival, and as for whether the itinerary could be fulfilled, that wasn’t something the guide could guarantee. If Lin Yang got sick from overindulgence, it would be his own loss.

After lunch, Lin Yang and Yue’er returned to their room to rest and adjust to the time difference.

In Brazil, the time difference with their home country was about 12 hours. The flight had greatly affected them, and they hadn’t had proper rest. Now settled down, they quickly fell asleep on the cool mats under the fan.

This sleep lasted from noon until it got dark. At around eight in the evening, Lin Yang woke up hungry.

Energy-saving lights were lit up in the camp, and there were sounds of people moving outside. He pushed the door open and strolled out leisurely.

"Awake? How do you feel?" Sun Zheng greeted as he stood up.

"Not bad, but I didn’t eat much at noon. I’m hungry."

"Dinner is ready. This is a good opportunity to formally introduce you to our local guide for this trip. This is Baom, a local fisherman and hunter who has lived in this rainforest for decades!"

"This is my compatriot Lin Yang, the financier of this trip. In the following days, you’ll need to act as the guide, serving them alongside me!"

With Sun Zheng’s introduction, Lin Yang shook hands with a native for the first time.

The native named Baom was around 40 years old, with deep wrinkles on his face. Lin Yang felt his wide and powerful palm and the thick calluses on his fingertips, marks of long-term engagement in such activities.

The other party didn’t speak Chinese, only Portuguese, so communication was difficult. They had to rely on Sun Zheng for translation.

After the greeting, Sun Zheng invited him to join them for dinner. Unexpectedly, Baom seemed thrilled at the invitation.

Sun Zheng explained to Lin Yang, "The food we air-shipped here is in high demand locally, especially the beer!

For a local adult worker, a day’s earnings might not be enough to afford a bottle of imported beer. Being invited for dinner and showing such excitement is understandable."

For Lin Yang, money wasn’t too important of a concern now. The air-shipped supplies, including beer, baijiu, biscuits, bread, and some marinated goods, were quite sufficient for daily life. After all, he could get reimbursed through invoices for these expenses, so it wasn’t costing him any money.

He had discussed these issues with Mr. Lu from the TV station before coming here, and this was one of the hidden benefits of collaborating with the TV station.

Soon, Lin Yang called Yue’er for dinner, knowing that the locals liked beer.

Aside from the guards who had to stay awake on duty at night, Lin Yang distributed beer to the five or six locals in the camp, who all seemed very happy to receive it.

Compared to the simple lunch, dinner was much more lavish, still centered around rice but with a few more dishes.

There was delicious pan-fried piranha, about a pound each, and a big bowl of Peacock Bass cooked in the style of sour and spicy fish, tender and tastier than anything found in domestic hotels.

After eating their fill, Lin Yang and Sun Zheng talked more, and they began to discuss the plans for the early morning.

With experience, Sun Zheng said, "Here in the Amazon, I suggest that we gradually progress with the fishing work. We are not in a hurry, and you just arrived here, so you need to acclimate to the temperature, UV rays, and other environmental factors.

So my suggestion is that we don’t venture too far tomorrow. Let Baom take us to fish in a nearby tributary, experiencing local fish species like piranhas and Peacock Bass first-hand!"

"Okay, the Peacock Bass was indeed delicious. It would be great to catch some for hot pot or sour and spicy fish," Lin Yang said, unable to forget the taste.

"Haha, you’ll be tired of it in a few days! These types of fish are like the Crucian Carp back home; they can be found almost anywhere. The local kids can catch plenty using traditional methods, let alone a fully-equipped fishing pro like you!

The Peacock Bass here are not as expensive as the ornamental fish back home. A three to five-pounder is quite common, but I’ve heard that there are some that grow to ten or twenty pounds. You’d better prepare your gear well!"

With Sun Zheng’s words, Lin Yang was even more eager for the next day’s trial fishing.

After dinner, as there was not much else to do in the camp, Lin Yang fetched some snacks like chicken feet and peanuts, and the two chatted while drinking beer.

After finishing the beer, he returned to his room before nine in the evening. Sleep came easy with the help of alcohol after not having rested well on the trip, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

But the sleep was not peaceful. The early part of the night was calm, but by two or three in the morning, he was repeatedly awakened by the strange calls of animals outside the camp.

Though staying within the camp, venturing outside meant being in part of the rainforest. For someone accustomed to city life, being this close to the wilderness was somewhat unnerving for Lin Yang.

In comparison, Yue’er seemed to have a much easier time. She had hardly slept during the tens of hours on the plane, but slept soundly through the night once settled down.

The next morning, Lin Yang was woken up by Sun Zheng as soon as it got light.

"Eat some breakfast, it’s time to set out," Sun Zheng reminded him.
