"Is that really the case? Not a single fish caught in half a day?" Yi Laotou scratched his head, feeling that Shi Tian was just talking nonsense.
"Really, let me show you the surveillance footage. We went out for three days with six people on the boat, and we only caught about twenty big fish!" He pulled out his phone and brought up the footage from yesterday's unloading, handing it to Yi Laotou, who began counting one by one.
The count was correct; there were indeed only twenty big fish, but each one weighed several dozen pounds!
After unloading the big fish, a whole bunch of Flying Fish came ashore. Yi Laotou raised his hand and slapped Shi Tian, saying, "Are you playing word games with me?"
After the slap, another small King Mackerel was tossed into Yi Laotou's Fish Bucket. Before Yi Laotou could get angry, Shi Tian immediately spoke up, "Master, I caught a big shark this time; let me show you!"
He handed over his phone again.
This video was the complete version, starting from when they chased the fish with the boat all the way to dragging it alongside. It was enough for Yi Laotou to watch for a while.
"How big is this fish?" Watching the video of Shi Tian struggling with the big fish, Yi Laotou couldn't help but be curious.
"We didn't weigh it; we protect animals. We just released it once we got it to the side of the boat. You can estimate its weight later!"
Pufferfish always come in large groups. If they were fishing from shore, it would be fine, but if they were Raft Fishing on a fish farm, they'd want to catch them all just to relieve their frustration.
Their teeth are incredibly sharp; they not only cut lines easily but are also aggressive when it comes to stealing bait—if they see a hook, they bite.
After several Pufferfish were caught, Yi Laotou finished watching the video.
"Xiao Tian, I want to go visit your senior brother in a few days. That kid has been slacking off lately; I need to give him a talking-to!"
He took several screenshots and sent them to his phone while rubbing his nose.
"Cong Shixiong has been quite capable lately! Last time we went out to sea, he didn't have time to go because he was busy honing his culinary skills at home!" After finishing his sentence, Shi Tian was stunned. Was Yi Laotou planning to ask Scallion and Ginger to take him out to sea?
If Yi Laotou were to ask, Scallion and Ginger would probably not dare refuse. This would escalate quickly and backfire on him!
"Master, traditional fishing is great! I customized two traditional fishing rods for you; they'll be ready in a couple of days! Old Kong and the others don’t have any!"
Those rods are perfect for winter fishing; find a grassy hole and catch Carp one after another—how many people would envy that!
If Yi Laotou went over to Scallion and Ginger with photos asking him to take him out to sea, Scallion and Ginger would likely call him up and scold him for an hour.
Since trouble had already arisen, it was best to smooth things over quickly—even if it meant giving Yi Laotou a haircut in Hubei!
With rods that Old Kong and the others didn’t have now in his possession, he could show off a bit by going over to them.
But he couldn't help thinking about that several dozen-pound big fish; he wanted to enjoy some time at sea too!
It was clear that getting Shi Tian to take him out to sea was out of the question. Since Old Kong and Old Wen couldn’t manage it, there was no need for him to try. The two rods that Shi Tian had customized for him needed to be put to use; it was essential to show them off to Old Kong and the others.
However, he couldn't let the opportunity with Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell slip away. There would be no chance in front of Shi Tian, so he planned to tackle Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell on his own! Handling Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell was a piece of cake!
Ah! When would he be able to do this? After waiting, he would go fishing with Old Kong and the others! It was a delaying tactic; first, he needed to stabilize Shi Tian before plotting against Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell.
Maybe the day after tomorrow! At the latest, the day after that! Once he got the rods, he would take Shi Tian to Xingyue Lake to try them out. Once Shi Tian got familiar with the rods, they could go and show Old Kong and the others what they were made of!
He had initially thought about catching a bunch of Pufferfish for Yi Laotou to prepare for him, but now it seemed impossible; he almost got himself into trouble!
Switching to Live Shrimp, he threw it out with all his might. Learning how to handle Pufferfish was definitely off the table; he might as well stick to fishing!
As dusk approached, Old Lin's mother-in-law arrived with a group of aunties, each asking for a pound of Live Shrimp at the shop. Carrying the Live Shrimp down the steps, she chanted praises while pouring them into Hai Li.
Let me tell you, Wuliang Tianzun is our homegrown deity; we use him far more than those foreign monks!
I’ve been releasing shrimp here for several days, and my Xiao Fei has started dating!
I’ll let you in on a secret: my Xiao Fei is already pregnant! I’m going to be a grandmother! The boy’s family will come over in a few days to propose; after the New Year, I’ll treat you all to a wedding feast!
Old Lin’s mother-in-law’s words left Shi Tian and Sun Lang completely stunned!
Old Lin was too bold; this could lead to serious trouble!
If Old Lin was impressive, it was more accurate to say Bird Brother was formidable! Once Bird Brother made his move, Old Lin had effectively saved himself months of effort!
What kind of tricks were these? While high efficiency wasn’t an issue, this was pushing it too far! Couldn’t they teach Old Lin some protective measures?
