"Dear, come here, I need to discuss something with you!" Old Zhang said as he dragged Aunt Zhang into the room. He had prepared everything for the themed tent he borrowed from Shi Tian, setting it up in the bedroom, planning to lure Aunt Zhang in first.
"Speak your mind, and don't hold back. I know you went fishing before dawn this morning. If you sneak out to fish again, I’ll toss all your junk into the sea!"
The sweet nothings of youth never seem to withstand the test of time. Once he promised to have breakfast with her every morning, but now it had turned into him getting up at dawn to have breakfast with the fish! This made Aunt Zhang feel quite jealous.
In response to Aunt Zhang's complaints, Old Zhang simply chuckled foolishly, pulling her toward the bedroom without any rebuttal.
Once inside, he closed the bedroom door behind them. The bed was adorned with the themed tent, complete with a pink lamp that made the whole setup incredibly enticing.
Seeing this scene startled Aunt Zhang, who quickly rushed over to draw the curtains. Turning around, she playfully punched Old Zhang's arm and exclaimed, "Are you crazy? It's still daytime! We can’t do this until night!"
Her tone shifted from icy cold to warm in an instant, making Old Zhang feel all tingly inside.
Setting aside those chaotic thoughts, Old Zhang discreetly pinched his thigh and pulled Aunt Zhang into his embrace, leaning in to whisper in her ear, "This isn’t how it should be. Let’s close up early this afternoon and go camping somewhere beautiful and secluded for a romantic night together!"
After sending off his father earlier that morning, it was already late. Sun Lang and Su Xueyi had arrived at the shop while Shi Tian was busy handing out wages.
"One hundred fifty a day; you worked twelve days this month. Plus two hundred forty for meals and those few sets of fishing gear designs—let’s say two thousand each for those. Check if this number adds up!"
The wages and meal allowances were on Shi Tian, while the deductions for the fishing gear designs would come from Sun Lang’s pay. Shi Tian didn’t mind at all; he was happy to help!
After transferring Su Xueyi's wages, there was no rush for Sun Lang's payment; he could settle that later since his earnings were negligible anyway. Besides, he didn’t rely on that income to make ends meet!
After a night’s rest, Sun Lang was back to his lively self. Last night, it seemed he had a deep conversation with Su Xueyi; her gaze towards him now sparkled with extra sweetness. Of course, that attention was solely for Sun Lang—despite receiving her wages, Su Xueyi only had eyes for him.
Just as they were finishing up with the wage handouts, a bro entered the shop carrying a fishing rod and immediately spotted the Money Grouper in the tank.
"Boss, did you catch this Money Grouper? Is it for sale?"
Originally there to restock some gear before heading elsewhere, seeing the Money Grouper made him hesitate.
Shi Tian was taken aback by his question. "You came to a fishing tackle shop not just to buy gear but also looking to buy fish?"
However, such a large fish would be too much for him alone; if the price was right, selling it could be a good option!
"It's freshly caught this morning; what price can you offer? As long as it's reasonable, selling it is fine!"
After some deliberation, Shi Tian thought selling the fish might be a good idea. Those two or three-pounders usually went for around two hundred each!
This one was much larger and still alive; its price would definitely be higher than those smaller ones—doubling it wouldn’t be an issue at all!
"This fish must weigh around twenty pounds! How about this: I'll give you eight thousand eight, and you throw in an Iso Rod for me. I just lost three lines at Liudao Bay, and Shi Jiu didn't catch a single one! He even broke his Rod!"
Upon hearing eight thousand eight, Shi Tian immediately agreed without a second thought: "Sure, I'll give you a set of Iso Rods. How long do you need?"
With the eight thousand eight in hand, Shi Tian readily provided this Bro with a set of Iso Rods, thoughtfully including a new line and several Hooks. Then he turned to the Bro who was installing the Wheel and said, "How about trying out my Wheel? If you round it up, I can get you another Wheel that’s guaranteed to be much better than yours!"
He grabbed a Wheel from the shelf and attached it to the Iso Rod. The Bro casually swung the Rod from Xia Shou and smacked his lips, then went ahead to scan and pay an additional twelve hundred.
With the Rod assembled, the Bro didn’t rush off. Instead, he held onto the fish and dragged Shi Tian over to the Fishing Platform across the way to take some photos.
After snapping a few pictures, he sent them out and returned the fish to the store's tank. Then he started making phone calls.
"Hello! Zhao Zong! It’s a holiday, right? I came to the seaside for a couple of casts and ended up catching a big Shi Ban! Do you have time for lunch? Liu Ju? He’s free; he said as long as you come, he’ll definitely show up! Great, it’s settled then. I’m heading back with the fish now!"
"Hey! Liu Ju! Still fishing? I caught a Money Grouper here, over twenty pounds! I learned how to fish from you, so I’m treating you to fish for lunch. You have to come! No time? If we don’t catch anything at noon, we’ll eat fish first, and in the afternoon when we’re back on the water, I’ll take you to catch Money Grouper! Sounds good! It’s settled!"
After hanging up, the Bro looked at Shi Tian and asked, "Boss, did this fish come from across the way? Can I bring two people with me this afternoon to fish over there? I’m okay with paying!"
Seeing how this Bro operated, Shi Tian could only shake his head. He understood the social dynamics surrounding one fish!
Fishing across the way was no problem; it was free. The Fishing Platform area was for rock fishing, while the left side without a Fishing Platform was good for Lure fishing. However, there was one rule for fishing over there: everyone had to clean up after themselves before leaving; plastic Packaging and such couldn’t be thrown into the sea—this rule applied to everyone!
With Shi Tian's permission granted, the Bro left with his fish but not before buying two more sets of rock fishing rods that were identical to his original Rod and Line Setup!
After leaving Shi Tian's place, Xu Yuanxiang drove back to the parking lot across from his community. Checking the time, he locked his car and leisurely walked back towards his neighborhood with that twenty-plus-pound Money Grouper in hand.
"Hey! Liu Ju! You made it! I figured there wouldn’t be parking spots in our community; since it’s inconvenient for you to park here, I parked across the street. You can just drive your car down to my spot!"
Before even entering the community, Xu Yuanxiang saw Liu Ju's car coming from behind and quickly waved him over.
"Old Xu! I'm not familiar with your community; here, let me hold onto that fish while you go park!" Liu Ju said as he parked in front of Xu Yuanxiang and reached out for the fish in his hands.
