At the Li Fish Nest, I cast my line again at the Fishing Spot, my Float drifting smoothly on the water's surface. After a short while, I caught another small Crucian Carp. Kong Yunfei is truly fortunate; he arrives in Sanya and already gets to enjoy Milk Fish Soup—how enviable!
The Carp are manageable, but catching them here is more about luck. The Da Mao River is different from Xinyue Lake; you can't expect to exchange a handful of Crucian Carp Bait for several Carp here. What method did Brother Huang Pao use over there? Seeing Shi Tian tossing a handful of Wo Liao into the water, the two old men grew increasingly curious about him.
Shi Tian wouldn't just randomly bait that spot; after all, the Carp are for soup, and he wouldn't be fishing for Xiaomi there! Just a moment ago, didn't you say that the big Carp don't come close to shore and mostly stay in deeper waters? With your long Rods, while you haven't settled on your spot yet, I might still catch a few more before you start reeling them in!
Shi Tian's words made the two old men blush with embarrassment. They had been so focused on having Shi Tian help them bait their spot that they hadn't considered this aspect. They realized they hadn't thought it through; now that the bait was down, switching Fishing Spots would be pointless. So, how about this: whatever big fish we catch will be shared with you; you'll definitely have some fish soup tonight!
With the Wo Liao already thrown in, it was clear they wouldn't be able to retrieve it now. This young man probably wasn't too concerned about those few fish, but he still needed to show some appreciation.
Hearing the two old men speak, Shi Tian couldn't help but smile; these two were quite interesting and valued relationships! Ah! But gentlemen, there are advantages to both big and small fish. When you catch them, take the big ones away and leave the small ones in the river as if I released them—would that work?
Having had enough Milk Fish Soup, he continued to wait at this spot for the Li Fish Nest to yield its bounty. Time was running out; Kong Yunfei's Sweet and Sour Carp would likely have to rely on the Carp from Xinyue Lake.
That’s no problem at all! The fish we catch today will become one dish and one pot of soup; everything else will go back into Da Mao River! As soon as he finished speaking, the old man on the left lifted his rod and pulled up a Carp weighing nearly three taels.
After catching two Carp in a row, the old man cautiously asked Shi Tian about his Fishing Box: Brother Huang Pao, your Wo Liao is impressive! Did you buy it or make it yourself?
Not for sale—it's all about luck! There’s a Fishing Tackle Shop at the southernmost part of Anyou Town where I got this Rod. They even threw in three packs of Wo Liao for me to choose from.
This Bait and Crucian Carp Bait work quite well; I just tried some Carp Bait over there and will see how effective it is shortly! With another tug on my Rod, I pulled up another small Carp, unhooked it carefully—my Milk Fish Soup just got even richer!
The prices at the shop are reasonable for younger folks like me, but for these two old men, they might find it a bit hard to swallow. They might not be short on cash, but in their minds, a Fishing Rod is only worth two or three at most; anything higher would make them think twice.
How many fortunes has this Rod brought you? Shi Tian thought to himself as he wondered where this lively character had come from.
It's alright; it's acceptable. They're promoting new products right now, so it's quite cheap. You get three packs of Wo Liao with one Rod; if I use it myself and go fishing three times a month, those three packs will last me three months. If I buy three more Rods now, the Wo Liao they give me will be enough for my next fishing trip.
The old man showed interest in the Wo Liao, so Shi Tian felt there was no need to explain the Rod's performance further. If they were really at the shop, Sun Lang would naturally let them try it out themselves.
Suddenly, Shi Tian remembered that it was time to hire staff for the shop! He wondered if those two unreliable stormy duo had left yet. No, he needed to hurry back to the store; if they had indeed left, he had to quickly find two dependable people to replace them.
"Hey, you guys keep fishing; I've got something!" After calling out, Rod reeled in and took out a few sets of hooks from the Fishing Box, distributing them among them before Shi Tian dashed back to the shop.
As Shi Tian left, the two old men eagerly grabbed the Rod and rushed to the spot where Shi Tian had just cast the Carp Bait. They switched to larger hooks and thicker lines, casting their rods into the water.
"Don't panic when you catch a fish! You go left, I'll go right. After hooking it, pull it out of the spot first!" Rod reminded Da Ye A.
"Got it!" Da Ye Yi replied, stroking his chin. "If we hook a big one, should we check out that Fishing Tackle Shop tomorrow morning?"
"Deal! As long as we catch a big fish, we'll go take a look tomorrow. It would be great if we could buy that Wo Liao separately; it would save us some use. One pack of Wo Liao can last for five uses!"
"Mixing in other Wo Liao should also work. That Wo Liao attracts fish while the other types keep them around. The effect might be slightly less effective, but it will last longer!"
"Alright, stop talking! Speaking will scare the fish; let's see how it goes first!"
They tested for over twenty minutes, catching a few small fish. Just when they thought there was no hope left, Da Ye A's Float slowly sank and finally disappeared beneath the surface of the water, much to his excitement.
Suppressing his excitement, he lifted the rod with a whoosh as it sliced through the water.
"Hurry, grab the Loss Prevention Rope! The Rod is about to straighten out!" Da Ye A called urgently as he strained against the Rod.
He had been careless, only thinking about changing lines and hooks while forgetting that this was a short three-meter rod; fishing for big fish required using the Loss Prevention Rope!
If the Rod straightened out, this little short rod would have an alarmingly high chance of losing fish! Without the rod's elasticity as a buffer, if the fish made a strong move, there was a high probability that the line would snap or that the hook would straighten out and come loose!
To avoid being straightened out, Da Ye A gritted his teeth and held on to that poor little short rod while waiting for Da Ye Yi's support.
