Looking at the time, Old Zhang and Lao Li had already caught a few fish, and Shi Chui was getting ready to make his move. He decided to use a box of Hong Chong, while Xiao Gou, Fine Line, and Lu Wei Piao were also preparing. The fish were biting lightly at this time, so he definitely couldn't choose Da Piao.
He moved a few steps to the side and tossed a small handful of Jiu Mi to bait the spot. Shi Chui needed to rely on his skills to handle both of them well. He couldn't use too much Wo Liao; if he used too much, the fish wouldn't bite.
"What's up, Lao Shi? Changing Fishing Spots? Why are you also changing Line Setup?" Tonight, two bottles of Moutai were promised—something he had said! He teased Shi Chui a bit while Old Zhang was still thinking about the Moutai in Shi Chui's trunk.
Last night, Shi Chui had boasted that whoever could beat him today would get treated to Moutai, while those who lost would just stand by and wait to pay their dues. "I bet you guys are going to lose this one. But if you insist on betting, make sure you have some spare cash ready to settle up. Don’t blame me for being ruthless later!"
After finishing with Old Zhang, he stood up and hit a few more spots nearby. Fishing in cold water required its own techniques; in this season, it was still difficult to catch fish in one spot. By hitting multiple spots and rotating through them, he could catch more.
After taking a puff from his cigarette, he returned to the Fishing Spot. He cast his Rod out; if he got a bite within half an hour, it would be worth staying there. The Float moved slightly; with a gentle lift, Shi Chui immediately raised his rod.
With a quick pull, a palm-sized Carp came up—finally, he had made his first catch. Once he got the first one, the frequency of bites gradually picked up. After two hours, Old Zhang and Lao Li were looking worn out.
In just two hours, Lao Shi had surpassed their total catch. He changed Fishing Spots every half hour; once a spot ran out of fish, he immediately moved on to the next one.
"Lao Shi, impressive!" Seeing Shi Chui continuously catching fish with Hong Chong, the two of them switched to Hong Chong as well, but their efficiency was still noticeably slower than Shi Chui's.
Finding Fishing Spots, selecting Bait, and choosing Hooks and Floats—all of these were skills in themselves. They would compete first and then he would explain everything thoroughly later that evening!
He handed each of them a set of Finished Line Sets while enjoying the feeling of preparation.
Shi Chui was dominating Old Zhang and Lao Li while Shi Tian and Li Ziyu were busy as well. By Taihu Lake, Shi Tian and Li Ziyu had set up a Farmhouse Garden. The yard was a bit run-down with not many people in the village; however, it had good water and electricity supply and even internet access. The two were becoming self-sufficient.
There was no need to tear down the house completely; it just needed some tidying up. Last night they had stayed here for the night but had only set up tents inside for sleeping.
The fun of camping in a tent was fine for occasional experiences, but if they were going to stay long-term, they definitely needed to set up proper beds.
Li Ziyu measured the dimensions as he selected furniture, while Shi Tian was busy cleaning up the yard.
"Tian Ge, a renovation budget of one hundred thousand is not enough! An old Yulin-style bed costs sixty thousand, and if we get a set of furniture, we’ll exceed our budget!" Last night, he had confidently declared that they would only spend one hundred thousand to renovate this Farmhouse Garden and stay here until July.
Now, looking around, just one bed had already consumed more than half of their funds. This way of living was unsustainable!
In life, where does the money ever seem sufficient? Let's buy a bed first, and then we can figure things out tonight. We need to come up with a way to earn some money and gradually transform this little courtyard!
