Wang Ergou stood up and headed outside, and it was clear he was going to get a new rod. With so many Fishing Buddies around, was he trying to provoke them?
Ignoring Wang Ergou, Shi Tian picked up the invitation and took a look. No surprise there; this guy was indeed a talent, just as expected from Shui Bi Zhang!
The invitation itself was simple, not much different from an ordinary one, except it mentioned that Old Zhang would publicly announce a secret about a crazy fishing technique after the grand opening ceremony—one that was guaranteed to work!
What secret could that be? Given Old Zhang's fishing skills, if he didn’t catch anything at all, that would be impressive enough. A crazy technique? Old Zhang better not mess this up! If he angered all these Fishermen, there would be no rewards for him!
By the river, a group of Fishermen had varying levels of equipment, but once they took off their gear, who knew what they were really up to? They could spend all day fishing; if you caught something, they might come over humbly asking for some bait or advice.
But once they packed up and left, you might find them driving a Maybach or wearing a Zhongshan suit.
Shi Tian folded the invitation and tossed it onto Wang Ergou's seat. He would just sit back and watch what Old Zhang had in store. However, with Old Zhang's experience and Shui Bi Zhang's cleverness, it probably wouldn’t turn into anything too serious!
Wang Ergou returned, carrying three rods. He swaggered into Old Zhang's shop and plopped down in his seat. Shui Bi Zhang rushed over.
“Hey, did you get new gear? Let me see! I don’t think we have this rod in the shop!”
Shui Bi Zhang’s eyes were sharp; he immediately recognized that this rod was something they hadn’t seen before in the store.
“This is a Boat Rod for deep-sea fishing. You don’t go out to sea, so it’s useless for you!” Wang Ergou replied as he handed the rod to the lobster and Calmly while giving his own rod to Shui Bi Zhang. He then dashed outside again. Moments later, he returned carrying three Electric Reels, making Shi Tian’s eyelids twitch!
Today was supposed to be about Old Zhang’s grand opening; could these three really steal the spotlight?
Electric Reels were something that most people didn’t use unless they went deep-sea fishing. As the three of them showcased their gear publicly, a crowd of Fishermen gathered around them. Shi Tian quickly slipped into the kitchen; he didn’t want to be the center of attention here.
Noticing Shi Tian’s arrival, Old Zhang paused for a moment and casually asked, “The dishes will be ready soon. We can handle things in the kitchen; it’s too hot back there. Why don’t you go out front and have some tea to cool off?”
Drink tea out front? That wasn’t Shi Tian’s plan at all!
“No worries; I’m here to help out. I’ll head out front when the dishes are ready! That group is discussing Fishing Rods right now!” Shi Tian replied to Old Zhang as he rolled up his sleeves and looked around. But ultimately decided against it. The kitchen preparations were nearly complete; he couldn’t take over cooking.
When it came to frying small lobsters, Shi Tian’s skills would surely surpass those of Old Zhang and his team. However, if he took charge during the grand opening, it would ruin everything for Old Zhang’s new shop. If the dishes were great at first but changed later on, customers would be disappointed. Once disappointment set in, they wouldn’t return.
After enduring in the kitchen until it was time to serve the dishes, Shi Tian returned to the front. By now, everyone had settled down; Wang Ergou’s rods were likely stowed away in their car after being showcased.
After enjoying a meal of small lobsters while listening to Old Zhang’s speech and checking the time, he realized there was still time left—so long as it wasn’t a lengthy speech that would delay his date with Kang Ziyu.
Given Old Zhang’s limited eloquence, it was unlikely that he would go on for too long; just some formalities at most. Even so, it was certainly more formal than when his own shop opened!
Once the speech concluded, Old Zhang began distributing gifts. Dozens of packets of Wo Liao were handed out—one per person—before Old Zhang grinned and said:
“These Wo Liao are special! Each has a QR code on it; scan it with your phone to find out which fish species it's designed for. I’ve personally tested these Wo Liao—they’re completely different from those generic ones out there! Just tie one onto your hook with a Rubber Band and watch how quickly you silence your Fishing Buddies!”
Today, every table in the shop has a Carp. Dig in! They are all wild! I spent four hours last night fishing at Fu Wan Reservoir and caught over one hundred thirty pounds in total. The Fishing Buddies nearby were left dumbfounded!
The fish on the table were indeed caught by Old Zhang last night, but not by him alone; he was with Shui Bi Zhang and Shui Laoban. The three of them fished for four hours, and with the help of Carp Bait, they managed to catch over one hundred thirty pounds. What’s on the table today is just a portion of that!
The bait we’re using today is all Black Bream Bait and Sea Bass Bait. We went straight to the sea, and most of this group of Fishing Buddies prefers Sea Fishing, so he specifically requested bait suitable for that.
For these baits, Old Zhang spent a fortune buying ten rod-and-reel-less shore fishing rods. Since he won’t be using them himself, what to do? He decided to organize a raffle to liven up the atmosphere and give them away to the Fishing Buddies attending the opening of Little Lobster Shop.
If you don’t win a Rod, you can win a Float; if you don’t win a Float, you can win a Hook; there are also plates of fishing line. In any case, everyone will get a prize; it’s just a matter of whether it’s a big prize or a small one.
As soon as the speech ended and the prizes were drawn, amidst the congratulations, people began to leave like a tide, rushing with their Rods to the nearby Fishing Spot to test if Old Zhang's bait really had such magic.
Waving goodbye to Old Zhang, Shi Tian tossed the pack of bait he was holding to Shui Bi Zhang and hurriedly drove off to pick up Kang Ziyu.
He was bringing Sea Bass Bait, which Wang Ergou and the others didn’t want. The only bait that could pique their interest would be Azure Catfish, Grass Carp, or Carp combined with Bait. They still had plenty left from the last big haul, so at least until the New Year, they wouldn’t be short on bait!
