With the key in hand, I grabbed the Rod and stepped outside. Just as I was about to cross the street, a horn blared behind me. Turning around, I spotted a Hongqi! When did the old man become so ostentatious? There was no doubt that anyone driving such a car to this place had to be him.
This car wasn’t cheap; two of them could easily trade for a Mini Air Force. Even so, the most valuable aspect wasn’t the car itself but the license plate—starting with "Jing," it was the old man's exclusive vehicle. Did he not take it back after retiring?
The old man usually didn’t flaunt his status like this. A car traveling from Zhoushan to Suzhou would surely keep the locals awake at night, and even the provincial officials would have to take notice.
How else could he assert his presence? This car hadn’t been driven in years, and its outings from Beijing were few and far between! I shot a glance at Shi Tian, feeling a pang of jealousy in Air Force’s heart; even though I was his legitimate grandson, this counterfeit seemed to be more favored!
Hearing Air Force’s remark, it did seem to make sense. The old man made this trip without saying a word or doing anything, not even contacting the locals, yet my shop here was thriving smoothly!
As the car came to a stop, Li Ge got out and opened the door. One by one, elderly gentlemen emerged from inside, eyeing the Rods in our hands. Talk about perfect timing!
Coming all the way from Taihu to fish with Iso Rods—what were they planning to catch? When the trunk opened, it revealed only four Rod Cases; there wasn’t enough room for a Fishing Box that big, so we had tossed it onto the Mini Light Boat instead, using that as an excuse to occupy two rooms.
Fishing for Hu Dao! Old man, have you fished for them before? These fish can only be caught in Taihu! Peering through the car window at the luxurious interior adorned with Hetian Jade made me envious.
I’ve eaten them but never caught one. Let’s go fishing! Seeing Shi Tian’s naive expression, Old Kong chuckled softly and gave him a light pat on the head before taking up his Rod and heading towards the lake.
I greeted Sun Lang and his companions who had just gotten out of their car. The small boat couldn’t accommodate so many people; they could just enjoy themselves onshore!
Not just them—Air Force and Lu Ya also dashed back to grab their Hand Rods.
In such a tiny boat, there were only two spots where one could cast a line: at the bow and stern. With four elderly men occupying one side, Shi Tian would definitely have to take on the role of captain while I played support for Li Yunfei; we wouldn’t be foolish enough to board and cheer for those old men.
Once the boat docked, the four elderly gentlemen quickly took their positions—two in front and two in back. Li Yunfei began to regret boarding.
“Uncle Li,” one of them said, “the old man said he brought me a Five-Jin Yellow Croaker; you’ll get to eat fish tonight!”
The four elders huddled on one side of the boat while Shi Tian and I stood on the opposite side of the cabin. The boat was so small that if everyone stood on one side, it might capsize!
There were some who hoped for just that; a patrol boat was visible in the distance. If this boat flipped over, they’d have their chance to shine!
As I pushed open a window, my Rod extended outwards. With a flick of my wrist, I cast my Hook into the water.
Five Jin? If I calculated correctly, that would be seventeen people tonight! One chopstick each? Not enough! Surely I couldn’t eat while they just watched!
I heard your boat is in Zhoushan? We should go out to sea together sometime; if we’re going to eat fish, let’s do it right!
Imitating Shi Tian’s actions, I let my Rod drop into the water. Li Yunfei counted on his fingers; given this situation, five Jin of fish wouldn’t even fill our teeth!
With Li Yunfei's reminder, Shi Tian suddenly remembered he needed to arrange accommodations for everyone tonight—this was quite a task.
Not only lodging but meals also needed planning! Seventeen people meant my Farmhouse Garden's tables and chairs wouldn’t be enough!
There aren't enough cars; we only have three, and each car can hold a maximum of five people. We need to find another vehicle!
Taking out her phone, she opened WeChat to contact Li Ziyu. She was sure that arranging this kind of thing would be no problem for her.
After sending the message, she saw that Li Ziyu had replied with an emoji, which put Shi Tian's mind at ease.
"Uncle Li, the boat is parked in front of the store in Zhoushan, so we can set sail anytime. However, there's going to be wind tomorrow, and we won't be able to fish if we go out. Once the wind dies down, I'll go fishing for Large Yellow Croaker with you!"
