Lu Qin asked the owner not only for rapeseed oil, but also eggs, cornmeal, honey, bran, and Thirteen Spices.
The villa owner stared at Lu Qin. "What, are you planning to cook?"
Lu Qin deliberately scratched his head and tried to sound as naive as possible. "Hehe, I thought I'd mix in some random things to make it smell better and attract fish."
"You're such a hassle."
The villa owner muttered, but he did not suspect anything. After all, he had never heard of anyone mixing those things into dough to make fishing bait.
The farmhouse had everything, and Lu Qin got all the ingredients he needed.
For bait, plain flour mixed with rapeseed oil and eggs was enough.
However, the firmness of dough bait affected how much it dispersed after sinking to the bottom.
There was a technique to that dispersion. It could not disperse too much or too little. Otherwise, before the big fish arrived, the little fish would have already eaten all the bait.
That was why kneading dough bait required skill.
For Master Lu, this was right in his professional wheelhouse!
Dough had life! The fishing scene was too miserable to watch!
Kneading dough was a technical job. Here, it referred to kneading plain flour dough into fishing bait.
Lu Qin applied slight force with his long fingers, kneading the dough into whatever shape he pleased.
It was mixed with rapeseed oil and egg liquid, which needed to be fully incorporated.
At first, Shen Muyan simply found Boss Lu's kneading pleasant to watch. His fingertips appeared gentle, yet they were full of strength.
She remembered him once saying that kneading required finesse, not brute force. Dough had life, and kneading too hard would knead it to death.
Dough had life?
Mm, what a vivid way
