A large group of old men was watching closely, how could they let him go? It was said that the fish weren't biting, and bringing them in would be pointless; at most, it would just be for Air Force to show off in front of the little one!
As soon as Shi Tian finished speaking, Lu Ya jumped up immediately.
"Right! Is Air Force here to sell fish? Or just to show off in front of the little one? We can't let that happen; let's stir things up a bit!"
"I have things to do, so I won't be having dinner at home. You can manage something for yourself!" With that, he dashed into his room for more than ten minutes, then turned and ran downstairs, heading straight for Water Market.
The shop wouldn't be ready for another two days; he couldn't let Air Force take advantage of this time. If he could keep an eye on Air Force for those two days, once the shop opened, he could help Shi Tian watch the store and chat with the little one. By then, any attempts by Air Force to get close would fall under his watchful gaze!
Arriving at Water Market, he saw Air Force selling fish at a small stall. Today, it was right next to the little one's stall—what did that mean?
"Oh! Jun Ge, you're helping Xiao Tian sell fish again!" Moving closer to Air Force's stall, Lu Ya chuckled and casually revealed Air Force's secret.
What did he mean by helping Xiao Tian sell fish? All these fish were caught by me! Today, he had only caught a few small Lophius, which he had left on the beach to dry into fish jerky! Seeing Lu Ya approach made Air Force's heart skip a beat; this guy was getting a bit too clever!
"I heard you caught a big Mian Gua today? Weighing around seventy or eighty pounds, right?" With a sly smile, Lu Ya's words carried a threatening undertone.
Upon hearing Lu Ya mention the Mian Gua, Air Force immediately put on a smile. He had just been boasting about that big Mian Gua to Xiao Xian, embellishing the story a bit and changing the main character. If Lu Ya exposed this in front of the little one, it would be utterly embarrassing!
"Come on, Lu Ge, have a smoke! It's getting a bit chilly tonight! Why don't we go get some extra clothes?" He offered a cigarette while his face looked as if he were constipated. Why did this guy have to come at this time? Was it intentional?
The next morning, both Air Force and Lu Ya were nowhere to be found; the entire villa felt empty. They had both come last night with empty stomachs. As soon as Lu Ya showed up, he caught Air Force One off guard. There was no chance for dinner together; they could only hastily sell the fish while keeping an eye on each other.
Since Lu Ya wasn't playing fair, neither was Air Force. "You interrupt my fish selling; I'll keep an eye on your renovations. It's just mutual destruction!"
After breakfast, when Shi Tian mentioned going out without being a novice anymore and took his Fishing Box, he was determined to catch some big ones today!
The reputation of Xingpai Fishing Gear had grown significantly in Sanya; even throughout Hainan, many people had heard of it. Most of this success was thanks to their group’s promotion.
With the first batch of goods from Kang Ziyu, they would continue their old business model: sending out hooks and expanding their group in Xishuangbanna.
"Old He, get ready; Shi Tian is heading out!" As soon as Shi Tianyi left, Hu Shuyi nudged the nearby Kong Yunfei, reminding him.
Peeking out the window at Shi Tian, who was walking toward the Lancang River with his fishing box, a smirk appeared on Kong Yunfei’s face as he grabbed his newly bought rod from last night and followed behind him.
Yesterday, at the fishing spot, Shi Tian was planning to catch a big Mian Gua. However, when he arrived, he found that the spot had been taken over by several old men. These guys were really dedicated, fighting for just a few bites!
"Wow, you all got here early!" Shi Tian greeted them, feeling a bit speechless. Just yesterday, he had spent the whole day casting lines with Air Force and competing against Lophius, and now these old men had come back early to claim the spot they had used before.
"You're late today! There's no room left here. How about I set up a stall over there?" one of the old men sitting in Shi Tian's previous spot said nonchalantly.
"No thanks, today the fortune god isn't in this direction. I'm going to check out another area," Shi Tian replied, teasing the old men before distancing himself from them.
These old men were quite oblivious. When a fish weighing seventy or eighty pounds was pulled up, everyone noticed the big catch but failed to see the impressive rod in Shi Tian's hands! If it were Old Kong and his friends, they would have immediately recognized the significance of that rod and might have even asked him about it on the spot. That’s the difference!
With the old men taking up space here, their previous spots had become available. Since they were empty now, he decided not to waste any time and headed over there to fish!
Setting down his fishing box and rod, Shi Tian hesitated about whether to use Carp Bait to create a feeding spot first. He didn’t have much Wo Liao left; it was what he had prepared for fishing at Wan Quan River with Air Force. He hadn’t brought much to begin with, and after using some on the way with Air Force and Lu Ya, plus Air Force's relentless casting these past two days, he was almost out.
"Forget it; let those old men show off for a while. I can always create a feeding spot after they catch a few more fish!"
He took out a bag of bait and placed it in front of him. Digging out a few worms, he chatted with some small Lophius while stuffing Carp Bait into his pocket, ready to make his move at any moment.
He cast his line out when suddenly a middle-aged man approached him with a rod in hand and a brand new fishing box that looked spotless—this guy was clearly a novice! Was today going to be his first time using that rod?
