With a loud clap, Shi Tianyi slapped his thigh! What a huge loss!
Seeing Shi Tian's reaction, Wang Gou smiled slightly and turned his gaze to his Float. He could guess what had happened without asking, so he decided not to rub salt in Shi Tian's wounds.
The fish in Hai Li were numerous and varied; even the seasoned fishermen couldn't claim to know them all, let alone a novice like Shi Tian! As for the price, it changed daily. The fishermen only discovered the price of their catch once it reached the dock. How long had Shi Tian been fishing? He hadn't sold any fish yet, so it was normal for him to undervalue them!
Oh, Brother Gou! What a huge loss! That fish was sold yesterday for four thousand! At that time, I thought he had miscalculated and was secretly pleased all night! Now it seems I was the real fool!
Thinking of Bao Gan Ge made Shi Tian seethe with anger. He had initially quoted four thousand, and Shi Tian had even made a jab at his math skills. Now it seemed Bao Gan Ge was the clever one! The real fool was himself!
After complaining to Wang Gou for a while, Wang Gou just smiled and remained silent.
What could he say? That fish was worth thousands? If Shi Tian heard that, he wouldn’t sleep tonight!
The fish had been sold, the money collected; perhaps Yu Jing was already enjoying it in someone else's belly. The more he talked about it, the worse he would feel.
Alright, one fish is enough; four thousand is about right! After comforting Shi Tianyi, Wang Gou started considering whether to pack up his gear and head over to the Fishing Tackle Shop across the street for a few casts. Recently, big fish had been coming out of there quite frequently!
As dusk fell, Electric Car Guy finally managed to catch a big haul. It was a large Bigeye Mullet. Although Electric Car Guy's skills weren't as refined as Wang Gou's, he managed to reel it in just barely.
After fishing all day without lunch, the group couldn't hold out any longer and began to disperse in twos and threes. Shi Tian followed suit and retreated with the majority, leaving the Fishing Spot once again as Electric Car Guy's private domain!
Back at the shop, he dumped today's catch into the tank and slumped into a chair. Watching the group that returned with him selecting supplies in the store made him feel utterly exhausted!
Let's go! Dinner tonight! Let's grab some skewers! Brother Gou is treating us! After all, he caught the biggest fish! Just as Shi Tian was about to drift off into sleep, Tan patted him on the shoulder.
Hearing this, Shi Tian's eyes lit up! Food? That couldn't be better! Right now, all he wanted was a big meal followed by sleep!
Tan's voice wasn't quiet; as soon as he spoke, everyone turned to look at him before shifting their gaze back to Wang Gou's face, which was filled with exasperation.
Let’s go! Tonight I’ll treat! Let’s find a place for skewers! Shaking his head, Wang Gou shrugged it off. Even with ten people, how much could a meal cost?
How about my place? It's in town, not far—just a short walk away! You can leave your car here! As soon as Wang Gou finished speaking, Chuan Ge raised his hand and suggested softly.
Chuan Ge wasn't very active in the group; he preferred lurking in the background and only showed up during Bait Contests. He wasn't very familiar with Shi Tian and the others.
He ran a Street Stall in town from his own house; it wasn’t small by any means but catered mostly to locals since there weren’t many tourists around. The prices were quite reasonable.
However, with big spenders like Wang Gou and Tan who often treated everyone to skewers, he felt uncertain whether this group would appreciate his little shop!
Sounds good! We’ll go there! It saves us from having to find parking! Patting Chuan Ge on the back, Wang Gou laughed heartily.
The group arrived quickly and left just as fast! They spent less than ten minutes in the shop before dropping down some cash. Chuan Ge led the way while everyone else followed behind them toward Chuan Ge's large Street Stall!
While others were enjoying a free meal, Shi Tian was different. When they went out to sea, Wang Gou had already tasted Shi Tian's culinary skills. As soon as they entered Chuan Ge's large Street Stall, Wang Gou hurried Shi Tian into the kitchen and generously offered two fish weighing over two pounds from the Fish Bucket.
By the time Shi Tian brought the two fish to the table, the group had already dug in! Chuan Ge was quite generous, serving large skewers of meat that left everyone with greasy mouths, while Wang Gou leisurely sipped his beer, leaving the others puzzled.
Was Wang Gou worried about his wallet? That seemed unlikely! His fishing gear alone must have cost a fortune! The car he drove was worth hundreds of thousands; surely he wouldn’t be stingy over a few bucks for barbecue!
Chuan Ge was restless; seeing Wang Gou splurge, he suggested gathering at his own place instead. Did Wang Gou look down on his cooking? Was his skewer really that hard to swallow?
As soon as Shi Tian brought out the fish, Wang Gou immediately set down his beer glass and picked up his chopsticks, ready for action. After a few bites of fish, Wang Gou felt satisfied! He had been craving this skill for several days.
He could also enjoy this cooking at Scallions and Ginger, but after two visits where they didn’t charge him, he felt embarrassed to go back again! To satisfy his cravings from Scallions and Ginger, Wang Gou put in quite a bit of effort. Since they wouldn’t take his money, he had others treat him instead. Even then, Scallions and Ginger still gave him discounts, practically breaking their bones to do so!
Scallions and Ginger had certainly given Wang Gou enough face, but he didn’t like feeling indebted to anyone. Your skills are not inferior to your senior brother’s; it’s not easy to get a taste of your cooking! Putting down his chopsticks, Wang Gou raised his glass to clink with Shi Tian’s.
After downing a glass of beer, Shi Tian shook his head and said, “What he does is professional; mine is amateur. There’s still quite a gap!”
