"One hundred pounds of Tuna? That's worth a lot! Master, you can't sell it to anyone else; you have to save it for me! I'll send you a deposit right now!" The Thirty-Six Senior Sister was quite cooperative, pulling out her phone to make the transfer.
"Wait, Senior Sister, no need to rush!" Shi Tian quickly interjected, raising a hand to stop her. "Master, with so many senior brothers and sisters here to celebrate your birthday, don't you think you should show some appreciation? Why not bring out that big fish and treat us? Let us see how you catch the big ones!"
"I wanted to go with you all last time you went out to sea. You sneaked off without telling me, and then didn’t even let us have any of the fish!" Shi Tian added, prompting a hearty laugh from Yi Laotou.
"Alright, I'll make it easy for you today! Drive me to get the fish; it's still frozen in the cold storage!" Yi Laotou said as he made his way out.
Once they arrived at the hotel’s cold storage, Yi Laotou began inspecting the few fish stacked in the corner, lifting labels one by one.
He settled on a large Dajinqiang. After checking its label, he turned to Shi Tian and declared, "This one will do!"
With a quick snip of scissors, he removed a label from his own fish and tied it to the tail of the chosen one. He gave the frozen fish a firm pat and shivered slightly. "Hurry up! This is the one! Let’s get it in the car; it’s too cold in here!"
"Master, this fish costs twenty thousand! Cash or scan code?" Shi Tian joked as he grabbed the fish by its tail and laid it on a mat before stuffing it into the trunk.
"This fish is mine; my label is tied to its tail! What’s wrong? Can’t you read?" Shi Tian shot him a look while Yi Laotou hurriedly got into the car. There was still a crowd of disciples and several old men waiting outside!
Yi Laotou’s birthday celebration was turning into quite an event. Now that it had begun, there was no need for notifications; every time this group of disciples would come running to celebrate his birthday.
The problem was that today wasn’t even his birthday! And once this started, there would be no going back; he couldn’t just tell these disciples that today’s celebration was just for fun!
To express their apologies, several old men had come together for his birthday celebration and even dragged Shi Ye along.
"Master, this fish is frozen solid; we won’t be able to cut it at the shop! By the time it thaws, it’ll be late evening at least."
As they drove back, Shi Tian decided to entertain Yi Laotou out of boredom. This old man was much more amusing than Old Kong and Old Wen.
"Just let them have a look; I’m not really letting them eat it! We’ll freeze it again; we’ll need it later! Who knows when we’ll go out to sea again or if we’ll have another chance to catch such Mahi Mahi!" Yi Laotou said proudly as he lit up a cigarette.
With Air Force not around, Shi Tian likely wouldn’t take them deep-sea fishing again.
It was impossible for Scallion and Ginger to take them out; they might take him alone but wouldn’t dare take those other old men along.
"Want to catch sea fish? Just wait! Once my big boat is built, I’ll take you all to Xisha for some serious fishing!" Yi Laotou declared confidently.
"You’ve ordered the boat? When did you place the order? Should I buy you a second-hand one to use in the meantime?" Hearing about Shi Tian building a boat made Yi Laotou turn his head sharply towards him; hope flickered in his eyes!
It’s almost ready; the design has begun, and it won’t be long before it’s completed! After messing around with Old Yi for a bit, I immediately received a slap from him, and then Shi Tian became obedient!
Following Old Yi's instructions, I parked the car in front of the Fishing Tackle Shop. Shi Tian got out to grab the fish, while Old Yi rushed into the shop to call his apprentices for help. They all ran out, startled; now was not the time to be shy!
