After greeting the three people, Shi Tian drove back to the villa area. Before heading home, he took a detour up the mountain to check on the Spring Water. The water level had increased significantly, resembling a small fountain, with nearly twenty cubic meters flowing in just one hour.
This amount of water was still a bit insufficient for the Artificial Lake in the villa area, which was quite large, and the Artificial River was wide as well. Without a flow rate of at least several dozen cubic meters per hour, the water in the Artificial River would hardly show any movement! A decent stream would have a flow rate of several dozen cubic meters per hour, while smaller rivers could reach over a hundred cubic meters.
Shi Tian wasn't greedy; he thought that if the Spring Water could provide one or two hundred cubic meters per hour, it would be enough to bring life to the Artificial River in the villa area. A slightly larger flow would be better, but not too much. If the flow exceeded five or six hundred cubic meters, the current in the Artificial River would become too swift, which wouldn't be beneficial for Xiao Yu living in both the Artificial River and the Artificial Lake.
Upon returning to the villa, Manager Liu arrived with the newly designed Blueprint. At least Shi Tian had mentioned that all necessary modifications had been made. Looking at the Blueprint, Shi Tian scratched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed as he brought up new requests.
The villa area had an Artificial River and an Artificial Lake with flowing water and elevation changes. Shi Tian suggested adding a few small artificial waterfalls at the water inlet of Ren Da Lake. These additions wouldn't be costly; they could be constructed by simply placing some stones to create a drop. With these small waterfalls, the oxygen content in the Artificial Lake would increase, which would greatly benefit the fish living there.
However, he noted that the height of the waterfalls shouldn't be too great. Instead, they could create several tiered drops so that when the fish grew larger and became bored, they could engage in activities like Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate. This would also serve as a relaxing spot for observing and feeding fish.
After discussing a few minor details, construction on the Artificial Lake could commence. The project would connect from the hotel through the entire villa area's Artificial River, with teams working on diverting water from outside to ensure everything was completed before peak season arrived!
It was still four in the morning when Shi Tian drove his Electric Mini to the store. Across from him on the Fishing Platform stood someone waiting there again. Today marked the start of construction on both the Artificial River and Artificial Lake in the villa area. Manager Liu had mentioned last night that it was best not to use the underground garage until construction was completed.
While driving his Electric Mini was convenient, it needed charging. Without access to an underground garage, where could he charge it? He couldn't keep running back to the hotel or park it in his yard every day just to charge!
If charging wasn't an option, he might have to leave it temporarily; at worst, he'd just incur some Fuel Costs!
After parking and unloading his goods onto the shelves, Shi Tian turned to look at that shadow across from him: "Are you here again so early? Is your salary enough for this?" He chuckled lightly. "It’s not easy for Shui Laoban to have an employee like you; I wonder why I can’t find someone like you!"
As he approached, Shi Tian felt something was off—Shui Bi Zhang's car wasn't there? Nearby was a bicycle loaded with bags and various items.
Had Shui Bi Zhang sacrificed his car for this? That seemed extreme! While others worked hard to earn money, he seemed to be losing money instead?
Getting closer revealed more discrepancies; it wasn't Shui Bi Zhang's bicycle but rather some outdoor equipment like tents and sleeping bags—this must belong to a passing traveler!
"Are you the owner of that store across?" Shi Tian asked. "Do you open this early?" The traveler turned upon hearing Shi Tian's voice and responded.
The traveler had noticed Shi Tian when he drove over earlier. Watching him busily unloading goods and opening up shop made him appear almost ghostly against the backdrop of night.
From his voice, it was clear that he had a northern accent. However, it was difficult to make out his appearance or judge his age.
There were many young travelers on bicycles; some were quite young while others were older. However, long-distance travelers were mostly young people. Judging by this trend, this traveler should be in their twenties or at most thirty years old.
As one grows older, it becomes impossible to live freely. In your thirties, with a family and a career, there are mouths to feed as soon as you open your eyes—who has the time to run around carelessly?
He handed a cigarette to the man beside him. Shi Tian didn’t dare to step too close, instead standing nearby and chatting casually. “I opened a Fishing Tackle Shop. Many Fishing Buddies love to fish at Zao Kou. They need to head out before five o'clock to catch some fish, so they’ll be coming by soon to buy some Fish Bait and Line Setup.”
“And you? You’re a Traveler, right? Biking? Out on the road at this late hour?”
Even if he were a Traveler, it was rare for them to come to Anyou Town. To the east lies Yalong Bay, and to the west is the Great Eastern Sea. Sanya District isn’t far either, and the ring road doesn’t pass through here; it’s still several kilometers away.
“Can’t sleep, just enjoying the sea breeze here!” After taking a deep drag from his cigarette, the man turned to Shi Tian and asked, “Is fishing fun?”
“Is fishing fun? It should be quite enjoyable! Otherwise, why would so many Fishermen be scheming against their wives all day just for fishing?”
Mentioning fishing instantly woke Shi Tian up! Especially when faced with someone new to fishing; it ignited his competitive spirit even more!
Fishing is indeed a profound pursuit—escaping the noise of the world, shedding worries. With just a rod and a line, one can sit by the mountains and waters all day long, cultivating oneself and strengthening the body.
At that moment when you hook a fish, adrenaline surges; all you see is the fish while your hands engage in a battle between man and nature. Once the fish is on land, you feel that all your efforts were worth it!
Aren’t you wild donkeys fond of playing with nature? Let’s talk about man versus nature; I’ll wear you down first before we continue!
Whether it’s a scam or not doesn’t matter; once you’re hooked, Fishing Gear is indispensable! That’s what drives sales. Even if it’s not a scam, it doesn’t matter; just tweak your pitch and prepare for the next unsuspecting target!
Cultivating oneself? If it truly helps with self-cultivation, then it’s worth a try! The man muttered to himself before turning back; Shi Tian had already dashed into the shop.
Customers had arrived! They went early to Liudao Bay for fishing but didn’t come over until after five o'clock—Shi Tian couldn’t help but admire their dedication!
“Give me a pound of Live Shrimp and two sets of Hooks! Oh right, I also need two spools of line—one for each type!”
This group of Fishing Buddies Shi Tian recognized from yesterday’s early fishing trip. Another person had bought line yesterday; it seemed effective since today others were interested in lines and hooks too!
“Why are you all here so early? Is there any bite today?” While busy finding things for these customers, Shi Tian casually asked.
“It’s Saturday; there are more Fishermen out today. If we go late, there won’t be any spots!” One of them replied while tying Hooks at the counter after taking the line from Shi Tian.
“Saturday? Looks like I won’t be able to recruit at Sanya College today either. No classes on Saturdays; most students are out having fun. I’ll have to wait until Monday!”
