After finishing with the fish, it was clear that this one was much more lively than the one bought from Shi Tian. It seemed that the money spent was well worth it! Next time, I should spend a bit more—sixteen thousand eight hundred—surely it would yield even better results!
I washed my hands and walked up the steps, where Mo Da Ma was staring at Yi Laotou with those big, watery eyes.
"Master, my son-in-law's family is coming over in a couple of days to discuss their marriage," he said. "What I mean is, I want to keep my daughter and son-in-law here. But can this actually work?"
Mo Da Ma's question made Yi Laotou's eyelids twitch. What was this? Did he expect after-sales service too? But since they had spent money, wouldn’t it be necessary to discuss a few things? Otherwise, would they complain to the consumer association?
Squinting at Mo Da Ma's face, which bore signs of wealth and kindness, Yi Laotou thought for a moment before smiling slightly. "A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have blessings in return."
After saying this, he grabbed a few Live Shrimp from Sun Lang and tossed them into the sea, then turned back to Mo Da Ma.
"What does this mean? Should we release more Live Shrimp? That’s easy enough; we can come every day and release dozens!"
Just as Mo Da Ma was about to speak, Yi Laotou interjected: "When discussing marriage, it's inevitable to talk about betrothal gifts and dowries. The betrothal gift is the responsibility of the groom's side, while the dowry is on the bride's side.
In matters of desire, there must be trade-offs. If you want something but can't let go of it, or if it's unsellable and indispensable, then the dowry will be a burden. However, the core of this matter lies with your son-in-law. Cater to his preferences so that he becomes enamored; then he won't want to leave!"
With that said, Yi Laotou swiftly moved with his Rod and before anyone could react, he had already dashed away from the crowd and headed toward the Fishing Tackle Shop.
He was going to confront Shi Tian about this; that kid had tricked his master and caused trouble before running off, leaving him here!
Seeing Yi Laotou charging toward him with an intimidating aura, Shi Tian was momentarily stunned. Trouble was looming—what should he do? Panic set in!
"Master," he said hurriedly, "My brother called to ask if you have time; he wants you to come over and see if his skills have improved lately!" He rushed down from upstairs to take Yi Laotou's Rod from him before anyone else could speak.
There was no escaping this; instead, he thought it best to divert some blame onto Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell for a bit of help!
Punishment was unavoidable, but he couldn’t let Yi Laotou punish him here; otherwise, it would be utterly humiliating.
"Your brother? Oh! Then let’s go together! I’ll also teach you a couple of tricks!" Yi Laotou glared at Shi Tian as he emphasized the word "teach" through gritted teeth.
Stepping aside, Shi Tian dialed Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell’s number quietly. "Brother, Master is coming over to see how your seclusion has been going; can you come pick him up?"
Upon hearing that Yi Laotou was coming over, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell paused for a moment!
So soon? It must be that Old Kong and the others went to Hubei without taking him along, and now he's upset! The master's mood isn't looking too bright; better keep a tight grip on the rolling pin, or else we might end up in trouble!
After instructing on how to Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell, Shi Tian finally ran back to chat with Yi Laotou for a few moments. The more they talked, the less trouble they would face later.
Master, I visited you yesterday and saw that you seem to be raising shrimp now? Yi Laotou shot Shi Tian a glance but had no intention of engaging with him.
I used to have a tank myself, specifically for catching Shi Ban, but I hadn’t used many before heading off to Xishuangbanna. By the time I returned, the tank was empty! After saying this, Yi Laotou's eyelids twitched; this was all Old Kong and Old Wen's idea!
However, those shrimp are indeed quite useful. Just thinking about that Giant Grouper still excites me; the feel of it was on par with today’s Niu Gang Mackerel.
Master, how long have you been raising those shrimp? Are they ready yet? Let’s catch a few to try them out!
As soon as these words came out, Yi Laotou immediately spoke up. No, those shrimp have only been raised for about ten days; they're not ready yet!
By the way, send me some more feed in the next few days; I'm running low on it! Yi Laotou said, and Shi Tian quickly got to work. He rushed to the back and prepared twenty kilograms of Shi Ban feed to present before Yi Laotou, upgraded Fishing Box efficiency at its best!
Master, those shrimp can be used after just over ten days. Since Old Kong and the others aren't here now, no one will snatch them from us. Otherwise, when they return, with so many of us around, how many can we actually get? As he placed the feed in front of Yi Laotou, Shi Tian grinned and urged him.
Patting the feed in front of him, Yi Laotou looked up at Shi Tian. Those shrimp have only been fed for over ten days; are you sure they can be used now? Yi Laotou asked uncertainly.
They can definitely be used; two weeks is enough! After saying this, Shi Tian picked up the bag of feed with a grin and said, Master, you enjoy your tea here while I take this feed back. My senior brother will come to pick you up soon; you all go ahead, and I'll follow later!
