After finishing their meal, Kong Yunfei dragged Rod along to get a blessing. As they passed by the Heikeng from yesterday, they saw the owner standing outside, shivering in the cold wind to greet them.
"Hey boss, is your place open again? Be careful, or your father-in-law might come looking for you!" Shi Tian teased with a slight smile as he rolled down the car window.
Upon seeing Shi Tian, the owner rushed over and braced himself against the car door, making sure Shi Tian couldn't get out.
He pulled out a pack of high-quality cigarettes, soft Hua Zi, which he had prepared overnight. "Those gentlemen are in the next room; you should hurry! If you take too long, they'll clear out the pond!" He glanced at Kong Yunfei getting out from the back seat and quickly handed him a cigarette before turning to Shi Tian for another. He immediately pulled out a lighter to light them both up.
Fortunately, he had noticed earlier that this kid wasn't with those old men, so his two-hour wait in the cold hadn't been in vain. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to get him out once he went inside!
Kang Ziyu was sitting in the driver's seat while Shi Tian quickly signaled to Black Pit Boss that they shouldn't rush to light up just yet. "Your service is definitely better than theirs; you're the best Black Pit Boss I've ever seen! You even managed to bring in lamb! That Lamb Soup yesterday was delicious!" He pushed on the door but it wouldn't budge. Shi Tian took a puff of his cigarette and playfully provoked Black Pit Boss.
"They have Big Goose at their place; they raise them in their yard. If you catch over a hundred pounds of fish, they'll give you one! I've got an Iron Pot ready for you; just come pick it up when you get your Big Goose. Once you stew it at home, it'll taste even better than the Lamb Soup!"
Moreover, they had just released fish last night—over a thousand pounds of big fish! He tossed the remaining half pack of cigarettes onto the center console while Black Pit Boss pushed against the car door.
Seeing Kong Yunfei getting ready to open the trunk for his fishing rod, he couldn't ignore Shi Tian any longer and immediately called out to Kong Yunfei. "Hold on! Let me tell you something about fishing next door; you can't scatter bait like yesterday. You need to use Ma Tuan and fish for Fei Qian. That young man in the passenger seat will explain it to you in detail!"
"The northeast and northwest corners of their pond are deeper; that's where the big fish are. If your rod can't reach there, you can scatter some bait to lure them out. If you can secure that spot, you'll definitely catch some Big Carp!"
As he accompanied Kong Yunfei back to the rear seat, Black Pit Boss leisurely continued his introduction. Once Kong Yunfei got into the car and closed the door behind him, he braced himself against one of the doors. "Don't get out; it's too scary out there!"
"Xiao Tian, what did you guys do to scare that boss so much yesterday? How did you make him so nervous?" Kong Yunfei asked playfully once they were on their way.
"Wasn't it just catching a few fish? Does it really matter? It's such a big Fishing Spot; surely he wouldn't stand outside for hours just because of a few fish!"
Hearing this, Shi Tian rubbed his nose and awkwardly smiled. "Well, we didn't do much; we just caught a few more fish—seven of us together barely made a thousand pounds."
"I don't think that boss is worried about how many fish we caught; he's probably more concerned that we completely shut down his pond yesterday. He's worried about that!"
Running a Fishing Spot with an entire pond closed off by a few people—how would others enjoy themselves? Asking for refunds was out of the question; it made sense from his perspective. If someone else kept catching fish while you sat there empty-handed, it was clearly your own skill issue!
If your skills weren't up to par and you still wanted a refund—that was impossible! But if this group kept causing trouble for days on end, who would dare come back to play? After all, fishermen didn’t want their reputation tarnished by being shut out!
When they left yesterday, Fishing Pond Boss quickly arranged for damage control; everyone switched ponds and each person got an extra two hours added on their time just to smooth things over. He certainly didn't want to deal with that again!
"Shut down? Did everyone around just stop biting?" Hearing this made Kong Yunfei's eyes light up—this sounded fun! He wanted to try it himself!
"It wasn't just some people who stopped biting; it was everyone in the entire pond! In three acres of water, over ten people were forced to reel in their rods—some had barely cast theirs for half an hour before having to pull them back! How could that owner not be frustrated?"
As the car came to a stop, Kong Yunfei was about to mention Rod when Shi Tian quickly raised a hand to stop him. "Let's not talk about Rod just yet. We need to discuss the price and payment first. The owner has probably been harassed by those old men enough already. If we bring up Rod, he might just kick us out!"
The three of them entered empty-handed and saw a group of people gathered around several old men. To their dismay, it seemed that the pond had been closed off by those same individuals.
"Boss, your fish are biting so well! What's the fee?" Shi Tian asked as he peered into the pond, then slipped inside to speak with the scowling owner.
"Tian Tang is not easy to fish in," the owner replied, glancing at the group behind him. "Just look at those guys—they're all struggling to catch anything!" He looked at Shi Tian and his companions, clearly feeling frustrated.
"How can it be hard to fish? They’re catching one after another!" Shi Tian retorted. "It’s the same pond with the same fish. If they can catch them and we can’t, it’s just our lack of skill!" His naive comment made the owner's eyelids twitch.
"The fish were just released—three hundred for one person, six hours, and if you return over a hundred pounds, you get a Big Goose! But I’ve warned you—those guys are experienced. If you don’t catch anything, don’t blame me!" The Black Pit Boss shot Shi Tian a warning glare.
"Scan the code! Six hundred for entry. If you don’t want to fish for six hours, then we’ll pack up when it gets dark! Just make sure you have that Big Goose ready!" After finishing his sentence, he turned around and went outside to grab his rod, overhearing the neighboring boss specifically discussing his own Carp and Xia Shou.
