The new Wheel setup was simple. Just connect a battery the size of a horseshoe, toss the line into the pool, and with a push of a button, control the tension with a towel. There was no need for Shi Tian's help; a thousand meters of line was easily managed.
Once the Wheel was ready, Oka got up to retrieve the rod they had taken on their last outing at sea. The old line was released, and the new one was attached. The blood from the Black Goat had not yet finished draining when the line was already set up.
Watching Oka put away the rod, Shi Tian took the small battery from Oka's hands and examined it. This little thing definitely wouldn't work for fishing for big fish; even a fifty-pound Tuna could drain it completely. But such a small battery surely wasn't just for spooling lines!
Seeing Shi Tian's curiosity about the battery, Oka smiled slightly. "This is for the small reel; we don't use it much on the boat."
With that explanation, Shi Tian understood. Who needed an Electric Reel for near-sea fishing? It lacked soul!
After using Qiao Zui to process that sheep, they saved two hind legs for Shi Tian. They planned to roast the lamb chops for dinner and make soup with the sheep offal. The sheep bones were also good for making broth, but it would be better to use them to bait Carp instead.
Some people used sheep fat as bait too. They would heat bricks and smear them with sheep fat, allowing the oil to seep in. If they tied a rope to it, perhaps it could be sustainable.
Using sheep fat and bones as bait for Carp was decent, but it was uncertain if it would work for sea fish. If it did, Shi Tian thought about tossing some across from the store to increase fish density.
Although Wo Liao worked well, it couldn't provide sustenance like Sheep Bones did for several days; fish wouldn't stick around long after Wo Liao was consumed.
That night, while eating lamb and drinking beer, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell pulled up the edited video they had shot earlier and placed it in front of Shi Tian.
The video had been professionally edited; Scallion and Ginger mentioned they hired a professional from a Fisherman group in exchange for taking him out to sea once. They didn't even have to go far; just a day of fishing nearshore would suffice.
Given those conditions, Scallion and Ginger certainly wouldn't refuse. A Fisherman who had never been out at sea had a high chance of getting seasick; he would likely need to come back by noon!
However, Scallion and Ginger hoped this Bro wouldn't get seasick since he wanted to establish long-term cooperation!
The video had garnered quite a few views—over ten thousand—thanks to Scallion and Ginger's financial backing.
Not watching the video first, Shi Tian glanced at the comments and bullet screen. The most popular topic was undoubtedly those cute pink dolphins. Because of this, several young women even sent private messages to Scallion and Ginger asking him to take them out to see dolphins.
"Sure! You haven't spent any money yet you're already getting business!" Four beautiful women—food, lodging, transportation, plus going out to sea—would easily cost at least twenty thousand!
After watching the video, Shi Tian returned his phone to Scallion and Ginger.
"Twenty thousand is enough for what? It's not bad as is. But we still need to make short videos; if one video can attract two business deals like this, it's worth doing long-term." After taking a sip of beer, Scallion and Ginger smugly said.
"Can making short videos and Live Streaming really earn money? Only a few can!" He dismissed statistics; ninety percent of streamers probably didn't earn more than Brother Huang Pao with takeout.
Just relying on those dolphins for clicks wasn't enough; hadn't Tengu Brother made money off lobsters at Heikeng? "Dog Brother, when are you going back to Pan Hei Keng? I want to tag along to learn how to catch a Duck or drag along a sheep; that should attract some traffic!"
Hearing this made Shi Tian frown. Was Scallion and Ginger trying to play an old trick?
Old tricks may be good but some were outdated! Plus there was a big mountain ahead that he couldn't cross; ultimately, it was still just a gimmick—a knockoff!
There’s no need to always think about someone else's sheep; it’s time to come up with your own tricks. To be honest, these two, Lao Liu and the others, do have a way of silencing people. You could definitely work with that. Without choosing Wang Gou and the lobster to speak up, Shi Tian leaned back in his chair and smiled.
As soon as Shi Tian finished speaking, Wang Gou scoffed, “Isn’t it easy to silence someone? Bro, the game now is to keep others from talking. I’m over here reeling in big fish while Chou Tiao is on the side, and they still come running to bring me cigarettes and drinks to thank me!”
“Cut it out, you two are really something! With such a lack of consideration, you might as well stop eating instant noodles; otherwise, you’ll have no seasoning!” Shi Tian shot back at Wang Gou and the lobster with exasperation.
These two jokers had already managed to con him out of more than a box of Wo Liao since he just arrived. They were driving him crazy!
