As the bright flashlight illuminated the fish from head to tail, a few more hours passed. Turning around, he tossed the barely breathing Xiao Yu into the fish pond and returned to the house to wash his hands. "Old man, this fish will be ready in another week, right?"
However, with the cold air moving in these past couple of days, the feeding frequency needed to be reduced. He would feed once a day and, once the temperature rose again, increase it to twice a day. Due to this cold front, it might take an extra day or two before these fish could be used! The exact timing would have to wait until the test results came back.
The feeding frequency for farmed fish was much higher than that for ornamental fish. Farmed fish required feeding once or twice a day, while ornamental fish could be fed every two or three days, and some even just once a week.
Seeing Shi Tianyi’s serious demeanor, the old men were truly convinced. They were still relieved not to have heard from Shi Tian about the joy of the fish being overfed and had completely forgotten about Li Ziyu, who had already taken two buckets of fish and dumped them into Shi Tian's Small Artificial Lake!
"Alright, no problem. We won’t go fishing for the next few days; let’s keep a close watch on these fish. Once the results are out and we know when they can be used, please notify me quickly so I can make arrangements!" Old Kong said as he handed a cigarette to Shi Tian, finally feeling relieved.
"Old man, how can I let you hand me a cigarette? Let me do it!" Taking the cigarette case from Old Kong's hands, he handed one to each person and stuffed the remaining cigarettes into his pocket. Naturally pulling out a lighter, he lit up for the old men in a smooth series of motions.
"Alright then, old man, you all keep busy; I need to head back! I’ll let you in on a secret: I’ve got a tank full of shrimp specifically for catching Shi Ban. Next time, I’ll invite you all to catch some Shi Ban! I’m off now!"
Before the old men could react, Shi Tian slipped out the door and quickly shut it behind him, making his escape while they were still processing what had just happened.
By the time they realized it, Shi Tian had already vanished without a trace, leaving behind an empty yard and that small net lying by the edge of the pond.
Looking in the direction where Shi Tian had left, Yi Laotou pursed his lips. "My beloved disciple has good intentions; too bad those shrimp were stolen clean by you two convincing Xiao Yu. They won’t hold a grudge over this, will they?"
Just moments ago, he had been adamant about not wanting this disciple anymore; now he was suddenly fond of him?
Rolling his eyes at Yi Laotou, Old Kong immediately argued back: "What do you mean 'your disciple'? He’s just showing respect for me! Stop trying to take credit for yourself! Old Wen, it was your idea that led Xiao Yu to steal those shrimp; you need to sort this out! They can testify!"
Old Kong had already mastered this tactic of shifting blame effortlessly.
As soon as Old Kong spoke up, Old Wen nearly spat out his drink!
"Have you all not used those shrimp? You turn around and sell me out? Have some shame!"
"Yes! It was Old Wen's idea; I can testify!" Finally seizing an opportunity to turn the tables on these two old men, Old Liu stepped forward. Friends before wealth—someone had to take responsibility. Since Old Kong had thrown Old Wen under the bus, he wouldn’t hold back!
"Exactly! It was Old Wen's idea! I can also testify!" Yi Laotou added with a jab, causing Old Wen's tea to spill all over as he faced an unexpected downpour from his friends.
"Do you have no shame left? Are you really so shameless as to lie through your teeth? It was clearly Old Kong's idea! You were all present at that time; how did it suddenly become my idea?"
After some commotion, Old Kong turned to Old Liu and said: "Old Liu, now that Xiao Tian is back, we should keep Xiao Guang from coming here too often and definitely avoid letting him interact with Xiao Tian. The situation is more complicated than it seems; contact with Xiao Tian won’t benefit him!"
Old Kong sent up the Customized Rod and finally caught their attention above.
The materials were good quality but when they inquired about their source, none of the three old men could provide an answer, leaving everyone else frustrated.
He handed over a material formula he got from Old Lu to save them several days of work—let them figure it out slowly! With samples in hand, if they couldn’t develop a process from that then it was their incompetence!
Old Kong had put a lot of effort into Shi Tian, yet even now, he couldn't figure out where Shi Tian's technology came from. Materials were thrown into the machine, and out came the Rod, but where did that machine come from?
If it were an ordinary private enterprise, one could brush it off without a word. But could this system really work with Shi Tian? He had Shi Ye backing him; could Shi Ye just stand by and watch Shi Tian be taken advantage of? Moreover, Shi Ye had so many connections abroad—who knew where this technology originated?
Occasionally, Shi Tian would reveal a couple of his creations. Even if they decided to investigate, now was definitely not the right time; after all, they hadn't yet uncovered Shi Tian's secrets. Once they had a grasp on everything and all the Samples were in hand, it wouldn’t be too late to act then!
Transitioning from civilian to military support was one thing, but the problem was that Shi Tian truly didn’t need that support!
Not to mention, just the carbon fabric for the Ordinary Rod—if Shi Tian wanted to mass-produce it, Shi Ye could immediately set up a factory for him and ensure all the workers were in place. This was nothing for Shi Ye! Whether Lu Ya and the Air Force could get involved depended entirely on Shi Ye's mood!
Right now, if Shi Ye wasn't in a hurry, why should these old men be? If they made a move at this moment, it would only alert the snake in the grass.
