The bait wasn’t cheap; each piece cost three or four Ten Dollars. Looking at Shui Bi Zhang, he must have thrown at least three bucks into that spot!
All night? What a joke! I’m just trying to set up a good spot! If I don’t let the boss catch any fish, he’ll drag me back to work! The little fish I caught yesterday wouldn’t even cover this Wo Liao money; I’m really losing out here!
To avoid working while still getting paid, Shui Bi Zhang has gone mad. Throwing down three or four bucks’ worth of Xia Zhuang, how many fish could that buy?
That’s not going to work; your boss has switched to a new Rod, capable of casting fifty meters easily. With such a big piece of Xia Zhuang, can you throw it that far? If you could, all the fish attracted would be your boss's!
A piece of Xia Zhuang weighs two pounds; even if he were a master at casting, there’s no way he could throw it that far.
Come on! Just because I can’t throw it doesn’t mean I can’t swim over! I’ll grab a surf rod and drop a Float; I’ll swim over and set up my spot!
Dragging Shi Tian back to the shop, Shui Bi Zhang quickly scanned his code and bought a surf rod for a thousand bucks right on the spot.
Shui Bi Zhang isn’t Shui Laoban; he got a whole setup ready and tied the Line Setup before heading off to mark his spot. Watching this operation left Shi Tian dumbfounded.
Wow! This employee is impressive! Although this effort isn’t directed in the right way, with this kind of determination, as long as he knows how to use people, it’s a huge advantage!
After muttering to himself, Shi Tian re-tied several Hook setups and took two spools of line over to Shui Bi Zhang. By now, Shui Bi Zhang was already bobbing in the waves!
Waiting for Shui Bi Zhang to finish setting up his spot and come ashore with a pile of plastic Packaging, Shi Tian approached him: “I brought you some Hook setups and two spools of line; they’re in your car. Don’t forget to toss the Wo Liao Packaging and trash in the bin; otherwise, we’ll end up on the blacklist for these Fishing Spots!”
The early bird catches the worm. While Shi Tian was delivering Wo Liao to Shui Bi Zhang, a car had already parked outside his shop. After giving Shui Bi Zhang a heads-up, Shi Tian hurried back inside!
“Welcome! What can I get for you?” Before any customers entered the store, Shi Tian rushed over with a smile and pulled out some cigarettes from his pocket to offer around.
“Do you have Live Shrimp? We need a pound.” Once inside, the customer spoke up and then added, “Is this shop new? I’ve never seen a Fishing Tackle Shop here before!”
“Yes! Just opened a few days ago!” Shi Tian replied, pointing at the tank containing Live Shrimp. “We have both large and small ones; which do you prefer?”
“For Reef Fishing, small shrimp will do; big ones are useless! Give me two spools of line; yesterday’s line got cut!”
After weighing out their shrimp, Shi Tian rushed back to the counter and pulled out two trays of line: “Since it’s our grand opening, let me give you some free Hooks! Are you into surf fishing or Lure?”
Upon hearing there were free Lure Hooks, they all chimed in unison: “Lure!”
The Jig for Lure fishing is not comparable to an ordinary Fish Hook; each one costs several bucks. The Jigs used for Sea Fishing are larger and even pricier.
Taking out two boxes of Jigs from behind the counter, he divided them among them before pulling out a pack of Hooks and tying several setups right there.
What nonsense! Free Lure Hooks? Who needs Live Shrimp for Lure fishing? After sending them off, Shi Tian muttered to himself and shook his head as he returned to tie Hooks in the back of the counter. It wouldn’t do not to have some Hooks prepared; if more customers come in, we can’t just give away San Gou!
He had initially planned to take advantage of the quiet time to cast a few lines across the street, but now it seemed that wouldn’t happen!
After several trips back and forth setting up his spot, Shui Bi Zhang came over to greet Shi Tian before driving off.
This place is not just about the Xia Zhuang; besides that, there are secret weapons, likely made from fish meal mixed with dried fish flour and other ingredients, compressed into bricks using an oil press. These things can soak in Hai Li for a whole day without dissolving, and the smell is absolutely intoxicating.
Perhaps because there are many people here for Reef Fishing, being a necessary stop in Liudao Bay, business was indeed good early in the morning. Although no Fishing Rods were sold, live bait and other small items sold quite well, including a good number of Hooks.
After the morning rush, Shui Bi Zhang had already come along with Shui Laoban, which made Uncle Zhang, who was busy setting up his stall, quite anxious.
As soon as the stall was set up, Shi Tian saw Uncle Zhang carrying a Rod and holding a Xiao Ma Zha coming over.
“Give me half a pound of Live Shrimp; weigh it out and send it over!” After completing the payment via scan code, Uncle Zhang grabbed a Live Shrimp from the water tank and hung it on the Hook while running towards the opposite side, leaving the Ma Zha at Shi Tian's shop.
This was it; he was completely hooked now—there was no turning back! Shaking his head, Shi Tian carried the Ma Zha over to Uncle Zhang. By this time, he had already cast out his Hook.
After training all afternoon yesterday, Uncle Zhang's casting with the Rod looked quite decent now, and his distance wasn’t any shorter than that of Shui Laoban and Shui Bi Zhang.
Lacking skill but making up for it with strength, Shi Tian never doubted Uncle Zhang's power. Those two arms were almost as thick as his calves; those muscles were clearly built for casting!
With so much Xia Zhuang thrown in, the results were significant. In less than twenty minutes, Shui Laoban caught a fish—a Sea Bass weighing over six pounds was pulled up.
As soon as Shui Laoban tossed his fish into the Fish Bucket, Shui Bi Zhang immediately followed suit with a Black Sea Bream weighing over a pound. Although it wasn’t big, it marked the start of their catch!
Watching the two of them continuously reel in fish made Uncle Zhang anxious to check if his Live Shrimp had been nibbled away by fish! Just as he was fretting over this, he hooked one too—a Black Sea Bream that was slightly larger than Shui Bi Zhang’s.
Once the fish was on land, he realized he hadn’t brought a bucket to put it in.
Never mind that; he tossed the fish behind him and decided to cast out his Rod first!
After casting out the Rod, he took out his phone and immediately dialed Shi Tian’s number.
“Xiao Tian, do you have any Fish Buckets at the shop? The kind with an oxygen pump? How much? Hurry and send one over! Otherwise, the fish will die of thirst!”
