Li Yunfei had just developed an interest in the Xingpai Fishing Gear mentioned by Shi Tian when he received a message from Hu Shuyi. Without a doubt, it was an invitation for him to take Shi Tian out for a meal!
"I'm Li, Li Yunfei," he introduced himself formally to Shi Tian, shaking hands with him in a rather serious manner.
"Brother Fei! I'm Shi Tian, and you can call me Xiao Tian!" Just as they were discussing fishing rods, the topic suddenly shifted. "What’s going on? Did a fish get away? Are you going to stop fishing?"
Looking at Li Yunfei's attire, that didn’t seem likely! Could he really not handle such a minor setback? If that were the case, what was the point of fishing at all?
Regardless of whether he was going to stop fishing or not, he needed to buy a few rods first!
"Brother Fei, I have some rods over there. You can use mine to fish! That fish probably hasn’t swum far; hurry and cast your line! If you’re thinking of stopping, it’s either because you don’t have a rod or there are no fish in the water."
There were definitely fish in this spot, so it was just a matter of having the right rods. As long as he had a rod in hand, there was no way he would think about stopping!
"Xiao Tian! Thank you for teaching me how to fish today! It’s almost noon now; let’s go eat! After lunch, we can come back and fish!" Li Yunfei said with a smile as he put away his phone.
Eat out? What was good around here? Were they going to have Zhe Er Gen again?
The thought of Zhe Er Gen made Shi Tian shake his head. However, it was true that there weren’t any bites at the moment, so it was time to address his hunger!
"Brother Fei, it’s no trouble at all; you go ahead and eat. I’ll catch up later. Let’s meet back here at three this afternoon for a proper competition and see who catches the biggest fish!"
Hearing that Shi Tian wasn’t going to join him left Li Yunfei somewhat stunned. He had calculated everything but hadn’t anticipated this outcome.
When others invited him out for meals, they always considered his feelings. But when he invited others, they would come without hesitation!
"It’s just a meal; I mainly want to hear you talk about the gear we discussed earlier! My rod was just something I picked up from a random shop on the street. I finally hooked a big fish, and before I could even show it off, it got away!"
"You’re right; fishing without good equipment is tough! But I don’t know much about these things. Let’s just grab a bite somewhere casual; you can explain it to me. If I don’t get a decent rod set up, I won’t even dare to fish!"
It was understandable that Shi Tian wouldn’t want to go out for just a meal; they didn’t have much of a relationship beyond spending the morning fishing together. Even if Shi Tian wasn’t doing well financially, he wouldn’t stoop so low as to mooch off others!
But when it came to rods, surely Shi Tian would be tempted!
Li Yunfei knew that Xingpai Fishing Gear belonged to Shi Tian. If he went out for a meal with him, he could buy several rods right in front of him. Otherwise, he’d just book a flight and take his daughter to Beijing—let’s see how smug he could be then!
Mentioning rods did indeed pique Shi Tian’s interest! In order to expand his business in Xishuangbanna, he had put in quite a bit of effort.
The shipment from Li Ziyu should arrive soon; once the goods were displayed in the store and they opened up a small fishing spot, he wouldn’t have to worry so much anymore!
Forget it; before opening the fishing spot, he should secure Li Yunfei first! It was just one meal—wherever they ate wouldn’t make much difference!
"Brother Fei, meeting you is fate. The moment I saw you, I felt a connection. Today’s meal is on me; when you catch a big fish, you can treat me!" With that, Shi Tian turned and began to pack up his things.
Shi Tianyi agreed, and Li Yunfei felt a surge of joy. As long as he could take Shi Tian out for a meal, it didn't matter who paid. Who would really care about the cost of one meal?
Leading Li Yunfei into the previous Dai Cuisine restaurant, Shi Tian held up a large Big Grass Carp in front of the counter and said, "Boss, I just caught this wild Big Grass Carp from the Lancang River. Can I trade it for a meal?"
Grass Carp typically cost over seven dollars per pound, and wild ones were even more expensive. Given the size of this fish, trading it for a meal was certainly a profitable deal.
However, Dai Cuisine didn’t serve such large Grass Carp; they specialized in wrapped dishes, and there was no way to prepare such a big fish that way! Shi Tian certainly wouldn’t be taking the fish with him; he still couldn’t bring himself to eat fish from the Lancang River after what happened yesterday when Lu Ya dealt with Air Force One. The Air Force couldn’t set up shop to sell fish anymore!
"No trade! You can’t take this fish; we don’t have any here! You should look elsewhere!"
Seeing the two dressed well, the boss thought they were there for a big business deal, but instead, they were just looking to barter! How could he tolerate that?
A few days ago when Shi Tian and his friends came to eat, the boss remembered them vaguely. They had been quite extravagant then; they hadn’t eaten much but had ordered plenty of drinks, which earned him several hundred dollars.
"Boss, how are you running your business? Is it through selling food or drinks?" Shi Tian said sarcastically as he led Li Yunfei to a table and handed him the menu to order.
