He went back to put down the Iso Rod and picked up a Hand Rod. Since there were big fish in this area, he wouldn't give up until he caught at least one!
Suzhou cuisine is known for its fresh and sweet flavors, which aren't particularly friendly to Shi Tian, a Northerner. Watching the Unreliable Duo indulge in their meal, Shi Tian could only sip his tea. Wasn't it too sweet for these two?
"Come on, eat up! This place is authentic; I've been wanting to try it for ages, but my wallet just won't cooperate!" Seeing Shi Tian take a couple of bites and then stop, Xiao Yu eagerly encouraged him while sipping her drink.
"I'm not hungry," Shi Tian said awkwardly, rubbing his nose with a smile.
It was rare for Xiao Yu to be so enthusiastic, but it seemed her enthusiasm was misplaced. Xiao Yu was from Zhejiang, where Jiang-Zhe Cuisine and Shanghai Cuisine share similar flavors, so it wasn't surprising that she enjoyed the dishes here.
There were also some dishes that suited Shi Tian's taste, like Red Braised Pork. However, Suzhou's version of Red Braised Pork was different from the Northern style and still didn't appeal to him.
"Boss, can't you handle Suzhou cuisine? Aren't Shandong people supposed to like salty food? How about I order some Salty Rice Dumplings for you? Duck Egg Yolk ones would be good too!" Under Shi Tian's gaze, Xiao Yu felt a rare moment of embarrassment.
At the mention of Salty Rice Dumplings, Shi Tian almost bolted! He believed he wasn't worthy of such delicacies!
"Thanks, but you enjoy your meal! Sweet dumplings are the best. What kind of person even invents something like Salty Rice Dumplings?"
Fearing that Xiao Yu would continue promoting her hometown dishes, Shi Tian quickly changed the subject.
"Turtle Brother, those boxes of Wo Liao we just brought into the shop—after we close tonight, scatter some across the street. There aren't many fish over there; if we spread some Wo Liao around, it might attract more fish. Otherwise, we won't be able to catch anything."
There were quite a few Wo Liao brought into the shop earlier—Azure Catfish, Carp, and Qiao Zui Grass Fish among them. If they scattered them all at once, they would surely attract a lot of big fish.
Actually, they didn't need too many; if they caught three fish over ten pounds across the street, they wouldn't even have to wait until dark before the area would be filled with fishermen.
"Don't worry; I'll take care of it." After downing a drink, Da Gui Wang readily agreed.
He was even more anxious than Shi Tian to improve the fishing situation outside the shop. If there weren't enough fish at the entrance, Shi Tian could go elsewhere to fish. But Da Gui Wang had to watch the shop; he couldn't just run away as soon as the door closed!
Also, they needed to hire a shop assistant.
"Turtle Brother, after we open tomorrow, Xiao Yu and I will have to head to Zhoushan. You'll have to handle hiring the staff."
After discussing their plans for attracting fish, Xiao Feng wiped his mouth and shared a drink with Da Gui Wang.
Da Gui Wang was equally eager about hiring staff. If he had a reliable assistant at the shop, he could fully enjoy fishing. If Xiao Feng hadn't brought it up, he would have mentioned it himself.
"What are the requirements for hiring staff? Do we need to hire a woman?"
Da Gui Wang still felt a bit worried. The Sanya Store had a male and a female employee. If they hired another female employee, and his girlfriend found out, it would definitely stir up jealousy and cause trouble at home!
There were no specific gender requirements, but there were some other criteria. I’ll send them to you right now.
Taking out his phone, Xiao Feng sent the recruitment requirements to Da Gui Wang’s phone and said, “Ultimately, it’s up to you. You’re the manager of this store, and you’re responsible for hiring the staff. The people you bring on board will also reflect on you!”
Watching Xiao Feng speak so confidently, Shi Tian was genuinely surprised. Were these two the same ones who had previously discussed getting rid of his Squid right in front of him?
On the Jiangnan side, Sun Lang had arranged things for the Unreliable Duo. As they discussed matters regarding the Fishing Tackle Shop, Shi Tian decided to keep quiet.
