Around nine o'clock in the evening, several elderly men were dragging a large pile of equipment down the mountain, startling Shi Tian.
"Hey, you old geezers, working overtime, huh? I thought you would have gone back long ago! I didn’t expect you to be fishing up here so late!"
As he took a few of their Fishing Boxes, Shi Tian asked in confusion, "Old man, why are you bringing all this stuff down? You could have left it up here."
Once they entered the courtyard, the old men flopped onto the beach chairs. Old Kong chuckled and said, "Your senior brother is being filial; he wants to take Yi Laotou to Beihai for fishing. We old fellows are tagging along to enjoy a few days there too!"
Upon hearing this from Old Kong, Shi Tian finally understood. Now he realized why Old Kong and the others were so eager to drag Yi Laotou into this—there was a personal motive behind it! These old men were getting wild!
"You’re going to Beihai? Will Qianqian and Xin Yue be going too? If not, Jun Ge and the others might not feel at ease! I really don’t want to deal with these old geezers," Shi Tian thought. However, he knew he had to ensure a proper handover first.
As long as he completed the handover and sent these old men off, everything would be fine! He had been driven crazy by them lately; the sooner he got rid of them, the sooner he could have some peace!
"They’ll definitely go with you. We’ve requisitioned that vehicle from the Air Force; I’ll let him know later! If there’s a big catch, make sure to send us a message. We’ll come back if there’s something big!"
Shi Tian quickly agreed to Old Kong’s request.
A big catch? Once you all leave, Sanya won’t see any big fish again! It took a lot of effort to send these gods away; before the Air Force returns, he certainly didn’t want to create more trouble for himself!
"Liu Laoyezi, your Rod will arrive tomorrow. You can go to the shop in the morning; I’ll give you your Rod then. But you have to leave me my Rod!" He wanted to notify them when he caught something big!
Before sending them off, Shi Tian still needed to retrieve his Customized Rod first. If those old men took his Rod away, getting it back would be nearly impossible!
"Tomorrow let Old Liu bring your Rod to the shop and swap it for his Rod!" As Shi Tian saw Old Liu reaching for the Rod Case, Old Kong immediately stopped him, causing Shi Tian to roll his eyes in exasperation!
After sending off the old men, Shi Tian thought about preparing some supplies for them tomorrow. At least they wouldn’t need to come back for resupply before the New Year!
He didn’t need to mention hooks and weights; he would prepare several sets for them. That high-tech Diving Boat Shui Bi Zhang had was also nice; he needed to get one ready for them too.
Just as he opened Social Media, Shi Tian noticed Rogue Software had jumped back to the main interface again.
Without thinking, it was clear that a new menu had opened!
He clicked on it effortlessly and saw a Lin Character Menu lit up; apart from an axe, everything else was in grayscale mode. This thing probably wouldn’t be useful; not many households had axes nowadays—many villages had demolished their earth stoves, making axes mere decorations!
The phrase "quick-witted" flashed through his mind as Shi Tian considered whether he should buy a few sheep tomorrow.
The menus for Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishery were all open; the remaining one was obviously for livestock.
But what good would that do? Unless Yu Zi reached a certain level, the other menus would just be decorations—surely they wouldn’t just sell axes and kitchen knives!
Thinking of the kitchen knives, Shi Tian scratched his head, realizing he needed to prepare a gift for the unfamiliar Brother Sun. Over at Scallions and Ginger, he had sent a hundred sets of kitchen knives, and in the past couple of days, the Nong Zi Menu's stock had been steadily increasing. He wasn't sure what the accumulation was for, but sending out a few kitchen knives to build up some stock couldn't hurt!
Tonight's workload was still quite heavy. A hundred sets of kitchen knives, a Diving Boat, a large pile of goods that needed replenishing, and the order from Pai Gou Ge that had come in today! Shi Tian was doing the heavy lifting while his cheap Sun Shixiong was busy arranging the reception for Yi Laotou and his elderly group.
"Manager Cai, keep the large private room on the third floor reserved for me these days. Make sure it's thoroughly cleaned first thing tomorrow morning, and replace everything inside that needs changing with new items!"
"Xiao Xie, you've been in charge of the kitchen. Tomorrow when you come over, if anything goes wrong in there, even if you don't get kicked out by your Shiye, I will make sure you regret it!"
Sun Quanshun was a local from Beihai. Years ago, he had left home in search of gold and spent several years wandering through places like Guangzhou and Shenzhen. He worked hard but hardly saved any money. The last time he encountered a shady Foreman right at his doorstep, he ended up working for free for half a year.
When the Foreman ran off, Sun Quanshun proved to be quite shrewd. That night, while others were pondering how to settle accounts with the contractor, he quietly took off with the only asset belonging to their construction team—a Pedal Tricycle and a Gas Stove—along with some Oil, Salt, Sauce, and Vinegar. He then headed to the Night Market Stall.
After two months of selling at the street market, he managed to make ends meet; however, making a profit was more challenging since what he offered was merely enough to fill stomachs. It wasn't easy to maintain even a few bargain-hunting regular customers.
"Young man, you're not frying this Zheng Ha correctly. If you trust the old man, let him teach you a thing or two."
