After getting the Rod, he stepped out of the shop and cast it into the Fishing Spot across the street. The previous Rod was immediately forgotten!
Over the past few days, he had been fishing everywhere, eager to test the performance of this new Rod. He wanted to experience the thrill of catching a fish, especially a big one, and see how well this Rod would perform.
If this Rod met his expectations after landing a big fish, he would head back to Shi Tian's place to get a complete set of this brand! No need to switch brands; tonight, he planned to arrange for Tian Ge to gift him a Wheel.
Exchanging a seven-dollar Wheel for someone else's two-thousand-dollar Wheel was not something one could casually do. However, enjoying some barbecue and beer was definitely on the table! Even without any other plans, a few people gathering would still cost quite a bit. Spending some money to treat Da Hai to dinner and then gifting him a Wheel in return seemed like a fair deal!
Alright! It's settled then! A meal in exchange for a Wheel sounded like a good bargain.
While the Lure Angler's dinner plans were sorted out, Old Wen was facing some troubles.
It was past four when Wen Qianqian dragged him out fishing, which was supposed to be an enjoyable family time. However, once they reached the Fishing Spot, Wen Qianqian started causing trouble.
She stood in the water with a Rod, flailing it around wildly. Although she was still some distance away, her antics made it difficult for him to catch any fish. The old man didn’t mind too much as long as his granddaughter was happy.
But after less than an hour of playing, a large group of fishermen with pig-like faces gathered on the shore. They stopped fishing and began filming Wen Qianqian with their phones, practically drooling over her!
Just as the old man was about to lose his temper, Wen Qianqian wisely reeled in her line! She emerged from the water with her small Fish Bucket in hand and didn’t forget to ask those watching onshore for videos and photos!
If anyone captured any videos or photos, send them to me quickly! Let’s create a group; you can post them there, and I’ll download them directly from the group!
This video you took is so unflattering! Hurry up and delete it!
Back at the hotel, after downloading the Video Images, that group had fulfilled its purpose and was promptly disbanded! Then she edited the video to share with her friends.
After tending to the strawberry tomatoes in the backyard, Shi Tian carried a water jug up the mountain.
The spring water had increased significantly; he wanted to check it out and fill a bucket to taste if it was sweet! With the rising water levels in the spring, climbing up had become more challenging! They had already begun waterproofing at the Large Artificial Lake; in just a few days, this water could be diverted into the Artificial Lake!
The Artificial Lake was a major project; however, compared to that, the Large Artificial Lake was relatively simpler. Those Small Artificial Lakes would require much more effort!
For this villa area, Shi Ye was willing to invest quite a bit.
The Small Artificial Lake in Shi Tian's yard was one of the first to be built, and it was already completed. However, once his Small Artificial Lake and the two Large Artificial Lakes were finished, all the other yards would also need to have their own Artificial Lakes!
Currently, these Small Artificial Lakes only had an inlet and an outlet; as for the lakes in the yards, construction hadn’t even begun!
Climbing halfway up the mountain, Shi Tian looked at the gushing Mountain Spring Water and felt a bit troubled. It was impossible to directly draw water from the outlet; a large pit had already been washed out in front of it by the spring water, and the water in the pit was icy cold!
After such a long time of being washed, the water in the pit was clear. He pressed a bucket into the water to fill it up and carried it down the mountain.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to carry the bucket on his shoulder; with Mountain Spring Water inside and his clothes being thin, if he placed the bucket on his shoulder, he would immediately start shivering from the cold!
Even with Mountain Spring Water, Shi Tian had no intention of drinking it raw. He called ahead to have the hotel send over two taels of tea leaves and boiled a pot of water. No matter what, he would brew a pot first!
Early the next morning, when Shi Tian rushed to the shop, he found two familiar faces waiting for him.
The cheap master he met on the plane, though they had only crossed paths once, had already provided him with a recipe that could ensure his livelihood; this master had gained some fame!
The other person surprised Shi Tian: Scallion Ginger Fishy—wasn’t this guy a Fisherman? Why was he chatting so animatedly with that old man? Was the old man trying to drag Scallion Ginger Fishy down into something, or was Scallions and Ginger trying to pull the old man into something?
When Shi Tian walked in, the old man stood up: “Good disciple, let me introduce you. This is your senior brother, surnamed Cong, named Cong Jiang. He runs a restaurant across the street; you can go over there for meals when you’re short on food!”
Hearing this, Shi Tian was stunned; so that’s how it was! He thought it was Scallions and Ginger!
“Brother Cong!” After greeting Scallion Ginger Fishy, Shi Tian chuckled: “Master, I know Brother Cong; we’ve even gone fishing together before!”
Compared to Scallions and Ginger who looked like an obedient baby beside him, Shi Tian appeared much more casual.
Seeing Shi Tian speak up, Scallions and Ginger chimed in: “A few days ago, that Longfin Grouper was caught by Brother Shi; this connection is quite remarkable!”
After buying a Longfin Grouper from Shi Tian, Scallions and Ginger took it to show off to the old man, who then asked him to cook as a test!
Although the outcome of the test wasn’t bad, the process was quite painful; he was scolded by the old man several times. By the end of cooking one dish, the old man had berated him for at least half an hour. Although he nearly became depressed from being scolded by the old man, he learned quite a bit.
Once they were seated, before Shi Tian could say anything, the old man spoke first: “I tried those dumplings at that Dumpling House across the street; they really weren’t very good—let’s just say they were barely edible!”
Shi Tian couldn’t refute the old man’s evaluation. A plate of dumplings couldn’t be made delicious just by relying on a recipe alone.
What his master said was true; there were issues with both technique and ingredients involved. The recipe I gave him yesterday could be understood as lacking in technique since he wasn’t familiar with it yet. Plus, if they were using ordinary ingredients and seasonings, it would be hard to stand out!
He wanted to retort at least once: “Fifteen dollars for a plate of dumplings—do you expect them to taste extraordinary? If you follow my recipe for ingredients alone, wouldn’t a plate of dumplings cost at least ten dollars? How can they even stay in business?”
