In addition to selling Fishing Gear, I am responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the store, the front area, and the ten Fishing Platforms across the street. I also need to familiarize myself with all the methods and information regarding Fishing Gear so that I can provide better introductions and recommendations to customers.
Moreover, I must learn how to pair Fish Hooks with Line Setup, as well as how to tie hooks and lines. There are plenty of tutorials available online. Generally, you won’t be expected to help tie lines, but some beginners may need assistance, so it’s essential to know how to do it yourself!
True Fishermen are usually reluctant to let others tie their hooks; only beginners would ask someone else for help with tying lines. Once a new hire is onboarded, they will need to start earning Points by providing warmth and assistance. With enough Points, the store will focus on ready-made lines, eliminating the need for manual tying.
The role of a store employee is primarily to sell products; cleaning is just an additional task. A clean environment serves to enhance sales.
After listening to Shi Tian's explanation, Su Xueyi quickly asked, "When can I start working?"
Shi Tian had already offered her a good deal; her salary was comparable to that of her classmates. Once the store's matters were settled, if there were no customers, she could learn at the counter as long as it didn’t interfere with business! With air conditioning and meals provided, what more could she ask for?
She didn’t need accommodation since she was in her senior year and could still stay at the college. It would be a bit of a hassle commuting every day from thirty kilometers away, squeezing onto public transport.
Fortunately, there was a shared electric bike at school; it only took about half an hour to cover the ten kilometers, which wasn’t too bad.
"There's no problem; you can start tomorrow. If you're not in a hurry, you can familiarize yourself with the Fishing Gear today. I can introduce everything to you!" Shi Tian naturally hoped she would start as soon as possible. If she could begin tomorrow and spend a few days getting accustomed to the store's operations, she would soon be ready to assist customers.
"Then please help me with the introductions! I'll come in tomorrow!" Su Xueyi said excitedly after securing the job. With such a handsome boss and decent pay, the only downside was that it was a bit far from school. However, that was manageable!
Shi Tian guided Su Xueyi through the store's Fishing Gear while Sun Lang and Old Zhang lingered in the shop, not in any rush to buy anything; they were more interested in watching beautiful women.
There weren’t many items in the store that required detailed introductions; mainly Fishing Rods and Wheels were more specialized. Most customers were experienced Fishermen who knew more than Shi Tian did!
Shi Tian provided thorough explanations while Su Xueyi listened attentively, taking notes with her Xiao Ben Ben notebook behind him, afraid of missing anything important.
After finishing up with the Fishing Gear introductions, Shi Tian called Old Zhao about restocking Live Shrimp since there wasn’t much left in stock and they needed supplies before tomorrow morning.
"Aren't you two here to buy something?" After hanging up the phone, Shi Tian looked at Old Zhang and Sun Lang standing at the door.
"Oh! We’re going now!" Sun Lang replied quickly as he dragged Old Zhang out!
Having spent over an hour here, it was uncertain whether they would be able to move into their new home tonight!
After organizing her notes and categorizing the Fishing Gear into tables, Su Xueyi also stood up to say goodbye.
With a new hire onboarded, Shi Tian felt quite pleased as he took down the recruitment notice! Over the next few days, he would guide Su Xueyi until she could handle things independently—then his good days would truly begin!
In the afternoon, Shui Laoban arranged for barbecue delivery. They needed to finish their meal within an hour before heading out for fishing at seven o'clock.
Sun Lang was quite efficient; after finishing shopping with Old Zhang, they came straight to fish. He had done a thorough cleaning at home alone but still managed to arrive just in time—his impressive appetite amazed everyone!
As they prepared to drive out shortly, Shi Tian naturally refrained from drinking. Shui Laoban and Shui Bi Zhang also drove over; Shui Laoban had no reservations about eating or drinking—he left his car behind and planned for Shui Bi Zhang to give him a ride later.
Tonight's barbecue is quite different from the one at Shi Tianyin's place. A few people squatted on the Fishing Platform, enjoying their barbecue while fishing, speaking in hushed tones for fear of scaring the fish away.
Shi Tian had no time to linger with them for too long. After taking a couple of bites, he closed the door and left. The construction in the villa area had already begun today, and he felt uneasy not overseeing it himself.
Taking advantage of the daylight, he hurried to the construction site in the villa area, took a quick tour to ensure everything was in order, and then headed back up the mountain. The flow of the mountain spring had increased significantly.
He filled a bucket with water from the spring and brewed a cup of tea. After taking a serious sip, he thought to himself that it didn't seem too different after all!
In his yard, the Artificial Lake was already being excavated. Heavy machinery couldn't get in, but somehow the construction team had found an excavator that was still operational. In just one day, they had already outlined the shape of the Artificial Lake.
Building an Artificial Lake in his yard was much more complicated than doing so elsewhere. To prevent water seepage from damaging the foundation, several layers of waterproofing were required once the lake was excavated.
Shi Tian didn't understand the details of the project and didn't want to waste time worrying about it. Once the construction was completed, if it didn't pass inspection, Shi Ye would definitely refuse to pay.
He opened his phone to check his Points. It was Sunday, and his Points income was significantly higher than usual; he could indulge himself a bit now.
First, he needed to replenish what he sold today and restock some items in his shop. He dared not think about those high-priced items; his current Points balance wasn't enough to support his ambition of customizing a few Rods.
After loading what he had made into his vehicle, Shi Tian's eyes lingered on the kitchen knife in the Nong Zi Menu; he felt a surge of excitement. This item had been available for several days now—why not craft a couple and experiment with them?
Once that thought crossed his mind, he found it hard to resist. He opened the menu, which categorized Chinese cuisine into Chinese and Western styles.
Accustomed to Chinese kitchen knives, he decisively chose the Chinese category, which further divided into several types.
A single kitchen knife could be quite versatile; Chinese kitchen knives came in many varieties, with the slicing knife being the most common.
In addition to that, there were cleavers, boning knives, carving knives, and so on. However, most ordinary people wouldn't need these specialized tools; even at a market stall, vendors would prefer to cut vegetables for you!
He crafted two slicing knives—one for meat and one for vegetables. As soon as he held them in his hands, Shi Tian felt that his Eighteen Sons set in the kitchen was somewhat lacking now.
The slicing knife was thin and sharp; given its thickness, crushing garlic should be no problem at all—perhaps even ginger would be easy!
He took the knife into the kitchen for a rinse before placing it alongside his other knives. After considering it for a moment, Shi Tian decisively replaced his old beloved stove with a complete set of Western-style kitchen knives.
