There was no choice; I had to earn money to support my family! With that thought in mind, Rod made a swift motion, and the black-and-white grouper broke the surface of the water. Shi Tian quickly scooped it up with a net.
I’ve eaten this fish before, and it’s delicious! Last time, Wan Er Jie treated me to it! Watching Shi Tian pull up a Mouse Grouper that was even bigger than the last one, Li Ziyu jumped up in excitement.
Speaking of this, Shi Tian felt a pang of jealousy! You all secretly enjoyed my Treasure of the Store and flaunted it in front of me every day—how is that fair?
However, the chance of catching Mouse Groupers here was quite high! In just half an hour, three had already been caught. Many old fishermen had never even seen this fish before! It seemed that all those boxes of Xia Zhuang Sun Lang had paid off; this one Mouse Grouper alone would cover our costs!
This fish isn’t for sale; let’s keep it in the store as a Treasure of the Store! Carefully removing the hook, Shi Tian quickly placed the fish into the aquarium and turned to Li Ziyu, who had followed closely behind.
A thousand dollars per pound? I’ll take it! Before Shi Tian could finish speaking, a beautiful woman in the crowd immediately jumped up and shouted.
Wild Mouse Groupers typically sell for over a thousand; seeing someone offer that much meant they were definitely a foodie. Most people wouldn’t be willing to spend so much on a single fish.
I’ll offer two thousand! It’s too lonely for my Mouse Grouper at home; I want to buy another one to keep it company! Just as Li Ziyu was about to agree, Shui Laoban rushed over shouting.
Seeing him approach made Shi Tian pause. Shui Laoban, you haven’t even eaten your fish yet! You’ve kept it for several months now! Watching Shui Laoban butting in like this made Shi Tian feel somewhat speechless.
You want to take this fish back as your Treasure of the Store? With your bid, how could Li Ziyu possibly resist? Didn’t you see her eyes practically narrowing into slits?
What are you talking about? How could you bear to eat such a beautiful fish? I want to take it home and keep it! Rolling his eyes at Shi Tian, Shui Laoban turned to Li Ziyu and continued his pitch: Last time I caught one about this size; these two fish should be a pair!
The one at home hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for days; it looks so gloomy in the aquarium. I can tell it misses this fish! Sell it to me so I can bring them together; let them live happily ever after!
That’s so pitiful! Why don’t you sell me your fish instead? I’ll buy a big aquarium for them, and they can still be together! Watching Shui Laoban’s heartfelt performance made Li Ziyu chuckle and open her mouth.
Upon hearing Li Ziyu's words, Shui Laoban immediately shook his head! That fish is his treasure; he wouldn’t part with it for anything! No matter who visits his home, he always takes them by the aquarium to boast about how bravely he caught that fish!
Of course not! I've grown attached to that fish; how could I sell it? You know how skilled Xiao Tian is at fishing—he’ll catch more soon enough. It’s been months since I last fished; who knows when I’ll catch another Mouse Grouper!
After some back-and-forth persuasion, Shui Laoban finally scanned his payment code. Ten thousand dollars transferred into Li Ziyu’s account. He quickly ran back to grab his Fish Bucket, dumping its contents into the aquarium. He carefully scooped up the Mouse Grouper into the Fish Bucket, fearing Shi Tian might change his mind. Shui Laoban hurriedly left with his bucket.
Watching their antics, Brother Gong quietly slipped away from the crowd and rushed back to the store.
These people are too crazy; just eating a single fish costs thousands! I might as well stick to my four hundred dollar Sea Bass! What if I accidentally ask for something that costs four digits—would I buy it or not?
Rod focused on selling fish again; there wasn’t much valuable stock left in the tank. Eleven hundred, three hundred—finally selling off the last fish—Li Ziyu dragged Shi Tian toward the city.
That fish was caught by her own hands, and she earned that money herself. She had to help Shi Tian buy some new clothes and dress him up nicely so he wouldn’t have to wear those same few outfits all the time.
As soon as Shi Tian and Li Ziyu left, Shui Bi Zhang immediately grabbed his Yu Hu and poured his fish into the aquarium. Riding on this wave of excitement, he hurriedly converted his own fish into cash while he could!
A fish selling for ten thousand was slowly fermenting in excitement. The Four Great Fish Kings had been caught, and it was all live-streamed, sending a thrill through the nerves of the first Fisherman.
In Sanya, there was a Fishing Competition where a girl caught a Mouse Grouper and sold it for over ten thousand! Should we go join the fun? By the Wan Quan River, while Yu Hu was still basking in pride over catching a six-pound Carp, Bao Hu saw the Mouse Grouper video and suddenly found the entire Wan Quan River unappealing!
That’s a sea fish; can you even catch it? It would be a lie to say they weren’t tempted, but they only fished in freshwater—when had they ever tried Sea Fishing? The Rods were provided for free, and there was no entry fee; running over there would only cost some Fuel Costs! They had already traveled all the way from the capital to here; could they really let a little Fuel Costs hold them back? It would be like going on a vacation to Sanya!
True enough about the Net, but Bao Hu still wasn’t entirely convinced. Having come all the way to Hainan, it felt like a shame not to experience Sea Fishing! They heard that sea fish were stronger and had much better feel than Carp. They could spend an entire day fishing, and if they didn’t catch anything, they could just come back later! Upon hearing Bao Hu’s suggestion to go Sea Fishing, Old Wang remained enthusiastic.
Sunshine, sandy beaches, and bikinis—what was the point of coming to Hainan if they didn’t enjoy themselves? What was the use of just following these two around in the woods?
