Sister Lang, Ming Tian Ye and the others might need you to go with them. If you do, make sure to keep an eye on the safety of the old gentlemen. Also, if they show any signs of seasickness, immediately notify Jun Ge. Don't worry about their objections; just turn back! After handing a cigarette to Sun Lang, Shi Tian urged him repeatedly.
Shi Chui is fine; he has been out to sea twice already. However, the other old gentlemen, except for Yi Laotou, probably have no experience in deep-sea fishing.
Going out to sea tomorrow? Sure! No problem! What about you? Aren't you coming along? As soon as he heard they were going out to sea, Sun Lang immediately agreed.
Not wanting to bring up any sensitive topics, Shi Tian glanced at Kang Ziyu, who was approaching with a smile. He smiled slightly in return.
"This is your Diao Jiao's affair—one leader, three deputies, and two authorized helmsmen all on one boat. As an outsider, I won't go! I want to stay here and fish with my Xiao Yu; it's been a while since I've spent quality time with her."
"You handle the fishing, and I'll handle selling the fish. There will be many tourists tomorrow. I just heard from someone at the Wenwen Tourism Bureau that they are sending buses directly to the airport to attract customers. Business should be good!" Kang Ziyu joked as she handed two cold drinks to Shi Tian and Sun Lang before turning back to inspect her territory.
In this area of thirty shops, more than twenty have already opened, all of which are on her inspection list.
The invitation tournament for the Rock Fishing Tournament is just an opening ceremony; the real fun lies in the Open Tournament.
Late at night, Shi Tian heard Shi Chui heading downstairs. Was he planning to rush over for Zao Kou? Checking the time, it was only half past ten; these old gentlemen are quite determined!
Two boats were arranged for tomorrow's outing; last night the old gentlemen had everything planned out.
Shi Chui and the old gentlemen would be on Air Force One, while Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell would take the award winners for a few days of fun at sea aboard Cong Jiang Qu Xing.
Wang Ergou and Oka were free boatmen; Da Gui Wang was on a business trip, while the other two weren't going to Liudao Bay. With Electric Car Guy raising the standards, there would be seven people on one boat.
The Rock Fishing Tournament has created quite a stir; however, as one of the organizers, the Diao Jiao leaders have all gone off to enjoy themselves while leaving the competition matters entirely to the Cultural and Tourism Bureau.
Shi Tian planned to step up in an emergency and take on a temporary role as Ji Yang Xiang! However, several old men had already made preparations; this position was taken by Calmly, who led the Sea Fishing Gang in taking over the affairs of the Rock Fishing Tournament as volunteers.
A busload of people was brought over for breakfast at the food street. Those who wanted to play in the water headed west while those fishing registered their IDs for Rods. The shops behind would process their catches for free—this was a profitable business.
You can't just eat one fish! The processing fee isn't worth much; ordering a couple of dishes would still yield profit. Little by little adds up; if a food critic happens by, it might even turn into a trendy spot—it all depends on who can shout loudest.
They brought out a large fish tank from Seafood Restaurant and filled it with seawater; this was much better than a Fish Bucket.
Setting up a folding table and renting a Smart Fishing Rod according to procedure, they sat across from Seafood Restaurant. For public appearances' sake, they used Live Shrimp as bait.
"Didn't they say locals can't compete? You can't break the rules right from the start!" Calmly teased as he handed Shi Tian a cigarette.
"I'm not local; please call me Little Excavator!" With that, Shi Tian cast his line and turned to smile at Calmly: "Who cares if they're local or not? It's great if we can attract people; let's get some buzz going first!"
It was still early; the first airport bus wasn't ideal—it only brought about twenty people who came mainly for free jet skis! Only three were genuinely interested in fishing—this fell short of expectations!
Since it fell short of expectations, they needed to adapt quickly! Forget about whether they're locals or outsiders; forget about that previous rule stating each person could only fish once. Anyone who wants to fish can come and fish—spend ten dollars for a pound of small Live Shrimp without even needing Rods or Yu Hu; you could fish all day long!
"I was just waiting for you to say that! Otherwise, I thought this Fishing Spot would never fill up!" With that, Calmly pulled out his phone and sent a message in the group chat, rallying people to come and support.
Shui Bi Zhang and Shui Laoban arrived, making their rounds before sitting next to Shi Tianyi. The feng shui here was great, and with Shi Tian around, there were bound to be fish!
Liu Lei showed up as well, setting up a Live Streaming device on the other side of Shi Tian. This spot had high traffic, and with a little luck, they could gain quite a few followers by catching some fish.
Kang Ziyu also made an appearance, carrying Tang Tang in one arm while dragging a small stool and folding table behind him. He set up the table behind Shi Tian and placed a scale on it. After opening a delivery box, he pulled out several markers and drew her signature on it. Finally, he let Tang Tang stamp its paw on the sign, completing the setup!
With a leap, Float raised his rod and pulled up a half-pound Sparidae. Were there Sparidae here? What are we waiting for? He quickly switched to Chained Hooks and got to work!
Sparidae came in groups; don’t be fooled by their small mouths—they were fierce when it came to feeding. Their movements were swift and decisive, never hesitating!
"Xiao Yu, we’re open for business!" He tossed the fish into the tank behind him and handed Kang Ziyu a small Net while Shi Tian continued casting his line.
No rush—let’s catch a few more before selling! Glancing at Xiao Yu in the tank, he dashed back to the Fishing Tackle Shop to ask for a battery-operated oxygen pump to toss into the tank; keeping the fish alive would make for a nice display!
"Xiao Yu, I found a great Fishing Spot where there are Clownfish! In a couple of days, I’ll take you fishing for them!" Just then, another Sparidae was caught. He tossed it into the tank and noticed Kang Ziyu squatting by the tank, staring at Xiao Yu inside. Was he thinking about keeping fish?
