If you want to find them, you don't need to go out to sea. You know about Hongsha Wharf, right? Every day, many fishermen sell fish there, and among them, there are plenty who are baiting hooks! It's much more convenient to go there than to head out to sea!
With that reminder, Shi Tian suddenly realized! Of course! If he wanted to sell fish hooks, why go through all that trouble searching for them at sea? He could just wait for them at the dock!
Sure! Take me over there later! I’ve never been to the fishing dock! After coming to this conclusion, Shi Tian quickly spoke up.
The fishing dock is a great place! If you guard it for a day and set the price a bit lower, selling a few packs of hooks shouldn't be too difficult, right?
But not now. Either you go early in the morning around seven or eight, or after seven in the evening! Those who bait hooks usually do so late at night and collect them in the morning. Or they might set their hooks in the afternoon and come back in the evening. At this hour, there aren’t many people around. If you want to go, just let me know and I can take you over!
Hearing this, Shi Tian shook his head. There was no way he would have time tonight; Sun Lang was still plotting to drench Su Xueyi like a drowned rat! Since it was his idea, he definitely needed to support Sun Lang!
Not today; I have things to do! Let’s plan for another day! When I have time, I’ll go check it out myself!
Now that he had the location and timing sorted out, there was no need to trouble Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell any further!
By the way, your rod has arrived; let me get it for you! Shi Tian stood up and handed over the boat rod he had prepared for Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell. These boxes contain kitchen knives; remember to take them when we leave. The hooks are in that black bag too; don’t forget!
After giving the rod to Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell so he could play with it on the side, Shi Tian handed a bottle of water to Luo Yongshan and said: “Shan Ge, if you can get up in the morning, why not open your shop around four? There are still quite a few people passing by on their way to Dao Wan for fishing!”
The group buying dumplings might not be large, but since they come from all over, if they try your dumplings and find them delicious, they will definitely bring others next time. That way, your dumpling shop's reputation will gradually build up!
If Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell is interested in giving pointers, then Luo Yongshan's dumplings must have improved significantly. Now that the taste is there, all that's left is building a reputation. Once that reputation spreads, life for Luo Yongshan will slowly get better!
Alright then, I’ll open at four in the morning from now on. Even if I only sell one portion a day, little by little it will build up; I have confidence in the recipe you gave me!
Nodding in agreement, Luo Yongshan thought for a moment before speaking: “Xiao Tian, what do you think about what Master Cong said regarding the flour? Should we make any changes?”
Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell took note of his earlier advice; Shi Tian had mentioned letting someone taste his dumplings without needing much thought. He deduced it must have been Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell and that old man.
At that time, they ordered several portions of dumplings but only tried one or two each. Although they didn’t speak throughout the process, their expressions clearly showed dissatisfaction!
It would be understandable if they were dissatisfied with other dumplings, but being unhappy with the ones Shi Tian taught him was rather strange.
You need to handle the flour situation yourself. High-Gluten Flour is definitely necessary; however, using High-Gluten Flour for dumpling wrappers costs about three dollars per pound. You need to see if your shop can afford that right now!
Switching flour is a good thing; this cost isn’t too high but can significantly improve the quality of the dumplings. However, now isn’t the time to overly pursue details—if you focus too much on them, your retail price won’t even cover costs; selling one portion would mean losing money on another!
Calculating based on ten dumplings per pound of dough—twenty dumplings per portion—three portions would increase costs by over a dollar. Compared to that cost increase, switching flour is still reasonable.
Alright then; once I finish this batch of flour, I’ll switch over to High-Gluten Flour! After considering everything, Luo Yongshan decided to change his current flour and focus on improving the quality of his dumplings first!
Shi Tian had actually thought about bringing up the flour issue earlier but decided against it when he saw the large pile of flour stacked in Luo Yongshan’s shop. For him, changing flour was just a matter of words; but for Luo Yongshan, it was a significant financial decision!
After sending off Luo Yongshan, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell looked at Shi Tian and said: “You’re from the north; you must know about flour! Why didn’t you remind him?”
With a glance at Scallions and Ginger, Shi Tian spoke up, "Their shop just opened. The other day when I visited, they had at least a ton of flour stacked in the back. I casually suggested they swap it out. What are they going to do with that ton of flour?"
"How to handle it? Just return it!" Shi Tianyi casually remarked as Scallions and Ginger placed Rod on the counter and headed out with boxes of kitchen knives.
"Can you really return flour? That doesn’t sound unreasonable! Maybe I should have Luo Yongshan return it for a different kind? Or maybe not! I’ll just mention it another day; if they’re willing to return it, great. If not, they can keep using it. After all, it’s their shop, and it’s not my place to meddle!"
Watching as Scallions and Ginger's small boat pushed through the waves, today’s Fishing Platform felt a bit deserted. Only Shui Bi Zhang and Shui Laoban were holding down the fort, but there was a good catch coming in from the baiting.
"How’s the bite today? Still holding strong here at noon? Caught anything big?" Shi Tian asked with a smile as he handed Shui Laoban a cigarette.
"No bites yet, just got here and caught a few Xiao Yu!" Shui Laoban replied earnestly while discreetly covering the Fish Bucket.
"Just got here? Don’t treat me like I’m new! When you say just got here, you either mean Air Force or Bao Hu!"
"You’ve been here for seven or eight hours already! You probably haven’t even had lunch!"
"A Dumpling House just opened across the street; their food is decent. Want me to order you guys some dumplings?" Shi Tian casually asked as he walked past Shui Laoban toward Shui Bi Zhang.
Shui Bi Zhang was a big player, guarding two Fish Buckets—one covered, likely containing today’s catch, while the other had a small gap revealing a fish meant for baiting.
"Sure! Order us two servings of dumplings! And make sure they bring two cold bottles of mineral water; it’s too hot out!" Seeing Shi Tian about to touch Shui Bi Zhang's Fish Bucket, Shui Laoban quickly interjected.
"Alright, I’ll call them in a bit and have them deliver it to you! Is there a fish in the bucket? Give me one; I want to tease my cat. Old Zhang got me a really pretty one!"
Upon hearing that Shi Tian wanted a fish, both Shui Laoban and Shui Bi Zhang finally relaxed. They opened the Fish Bucket and casually pulled out two fish to hand to Shi Tian. "Take these! If you need more, just shout; I’ll send over a few more!"
As he walked back toward the shop with the fish in hand, Shi Tianyi pondered along the way what those two had caught that made them so wary of him checking their Fish Buckets. Surely they hadn’t landed any Mouse Groupers again!
