Shi Tian had no idea what they were discussing, but he casually chimed in, and soon enough, the conversation flowed back and forth, making the older gentlemen nearly burst into laughter. The way they were exchanging lines had Li Yunfei's face turning green!
After a few exchanges, Shi Tian found himself at a loss. He had only read a few hundred Tang poems, while Li Ziyu was impressive enough to hold her own at poetry competitions. He couldn't compete!
Shi Tian conceded defeat, but Li Ziyu was still eagerly looking at Li Yunfei, who wore a wry smile. He knew that Xiao Mian Ao was full of holes, and it was practically falling apart, especially since it was a short-sleeved shirt.
"Brother Yunfei is amazing! Look at Xiao Yu's talent! If it weren't for Xiao Tian's lack of ambition, she could easily recite dozens more!" Shi Ye joked with a chuckle, feeling a bit proud.
"This girl is not worth keeping; I can't afford to support her!" Li Yunfei sighed as he set down his teacup. "Xiao Tian, are you done? If you're not going to continue, I might as well make arrangements!"
"Arrangements for what? Are we going to Jiangnan for a trip? Going fishing? I'm good at this; I can handle the planning!" Shi Tian immediately interjected when he heard Li Yunfei mention arrangements.
"Tian Ge, my dad knows you want to open a branch of Fishing Tackle Shop there and wants to sponsor you with a few stores. One poem per store could save quite a bit!" Li Ziyu proudly chimed in while holding Shi Tian's hand.
"One poem per store—so that's what they mean by knowledge being money?" Shi Tian turned to look at Li Yunfei and then at Shi Ye.
"Uncle Li, I think I remember a few more poems. I could whip up a couple right now!" Seeing Shi Ye smiling, Shi Tian quickly seized the opportunity.
"You can still compose poetry? Let's hear it then! With so many stores being gifted away, what's two more to Li Yunfei?"
"A rod, a line, one river and sea; half a life, half a cup of tea. Floating life indulged in mountains and waters; idle clouds and thin mist surround the home." After racking his brain for quite some time, Shi Tian felt he was running out of ideas.
If it were about fishing, he could talk for hours without repeating himself; however, when it came to poetry, he felt somewhat out of his depth.
To secure those two stores, Shi Tian had already pushed his own limits.
Once Li Yunfei decided to give away those stores, Shi Tian realized something important. It was impossible to manage both freshwater fishing and sea outings from one store; this wasn't Anhe Town. Moreover, there was no yacht dock in Anhe Town for sea outings; they would have to depart from elsewhere.
Since they were splitting into multiple stores, there needed to be one dedicated to sea outings. They would need one in Zhoushan if there was an opportunity.
"Is this your seven-character regulated verse?" Li Yunfei raised his teacup and drank it all after hearing Shi Tian's half-cup of tea.
"No, this is a new genre—it's a doggerel! The poem is titled 'Zhoushan Family'!"
Upon hearing this line, Li Ziyu couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was the first time she had seen someone present doggerel so grandly. Regardless of how it turned out, they had to secure that store for Shi Tian; they couldn't let all the brainpower he expended go to waste.
"Dad, it's my turn! I'll recite another poem about mountain homes! Good things come in pairs!"
(Wishing everyone happiness in the Year of the Rabbit!)
