With a swift motion, he cast the bait towards the sea, letting it drift away. "Grow up slowly! If it’s not at least ten pounds, don’t bite the hook!"
Isn’t it possible to release the fish once caught? Why throw it back? Shi Tianyi felt a surge of excitement, and Yi Laotou's mood improved considerably. He flicked his rod, sending the line out over ten meters—this was the optimal distance they had concluded after fishing here for so long.
At this age, it was hard to see the float from afar, and getting too close meant there were no big fish. Ten meters was just right!
Earlier at the shop, he had already cast his line and caught a Sesame Grouper!
In response to Yi Laotou’s remark, Shi Tian thought for a moment and said, "Master, I discussed with Xiao Yu that we’re going to turn that courtyard we bought yesterday into a hot pot restaurant! However, there are still a few empty storefronts. What do you think about me opening a Seafood Restaurant there?"
To open a restaurant in that courtyard would require some renovations. The storefront facing the main street could indeed become a hot pot restaurant, but the side facing the sea had no storefronts. They could modify the entrance and build a few more rooms on that side to create additional storefronts.
Shi Tian had considered this; opening a Seafood Restaurant was essential, and for now, it couldn’t be left to others since there were no tourists in the area. Locals preferred cooking seafood at home rather than dining out. Even when entertaining guests at restaurants, they often chose familiar Seafood Restaurants. A new establishment would take time to gain traction; thus, he couldn’t let anyone else handle it for now.
"That sounds good! But don’t think you can pocket all the profits by yourself; you need to leave some opportunities for others!"
Reeling in his line, Yi Laotou pondered and said, "The difficulty of doing seafood is low. You could try to distribute the business instead of just taking over everything from Fang Zi!"
There were too many seafood restaurants in Sanya. If he tried to dominate Fang Zi’s market share, it would affect too many people's interests. The current trend was about collaboration; Yi Laotou wanted Shi Tian to join in on this.
If they really did as Yi Laotou suggested, things would get lively! If Fang Zi opened up, how would they compete? Competing on price would be a poor strategy!
However, holding onto Fang Zi was like possessing the Sword Manual of Exorcism; breaking the balance would surely invite collective backlash!
"Master, you’re brilliant! I’ll just set up a kitchen and let them line up to learn from me! I’ll make some extra cash on the side!" Shi Tian chuckled as he rubbed his nose.
Hearing Shi Tian’s idea left Yi Laotou speechless. Where did this kid get such audacious thoughts? Even opening a Fang Zi required some tea money!
After more than half an hour of fishing without much luck, Lu Ya was the first to reel in a catch—a three-pound Shi Ban.
What kind of Shi Ban is this? Did Longfin Grouper and Mouse Grouper have an affair? Looking at the fish on Lu Ya's hook left him puzzled; he had never caught one like this before but could confirm it was indeed a Shi Ban—just not sure of its variety.
Who cares what kind of Shi Ban it is? The uglier it looks, the better it tastes! Back home, they’d steam it right away; it would be perfect as a drinking snack! Glancing at Lu Ya’s catch, Shi Tian joked casually.
Since it was a Shi Ban, it was bound to be good with drinks. The rarer they were, the tastier they became—fish that were nearly extinct had meat that was simply irresistible!
The uglier they looked, the more fun they were; once inside, they'd be well-fed and entertained! After teasing Shi Tianyi with this thought, Shi Ye lifted his rod and hooked another fish.
This one was a Su Shuban; there were farmed ones around here but few wild ones—most likely one that had escaped from a cage. He casually replied to Lu Ya while keeping a close eye on his float.
They had all cast their lines together; three of them had caught fish already—it was about time for him to land one too!
Shi Chui and Yi Laotou had no say when it came to the types of sea fish. How long had they been fishing? As long as the fish didn’t look too hideous, they tossed them into the Fish Bucket without a second thought.
When Air Force mentioned a name, Shi Tian recalled some information he had seen before. With a label for steaming, another dish was added to the menu for dinner!
A Mao Yu was caught, and Shi Ye was left speechless.
"How come you guys are catching fish while I end up with this thing? This isn’t even on the list!"
The fish was small, barely longer than a hand, and steaming it was out of the question. However, frying it would still be quite fragrant. Unfortunately, one fish was too little; he thought about tossing it back in the Fish Bucket to see if he could catch another two or three!
Watching the four of them catch fish one after another, Yi Laotou exchanged glances with Shi Chui. Those four didn’t have any sense of Wu De! They didn’t even think about leaving some Wo Liao for him!
Checking the time, Shi Chui pulled out his phone and stared at the dark screen, muttering to himself. After hanging up, he turned to Shi Tian and said, "Xiao Tian, your mom wants you to come home and help cook! Also, she wants you to go to Xinyue Lake and catch a Carp to bring back. She wants to make Sweet and Sour Carp for dinner; Xiao Yu said she wants to eat it!"
Upon hearing this from Shi Chui, Shi Tian didn’t even lift his head, continuing to focus on his Float. Another bite!
Xiao Yu wanted to eat Sweet and Sour Carp? Lao Shi, be honest! If Xiao Yu really wanted it, she wouldn’t need to go through you two to tell me! Do you believe I’ll have Lady Yun call you and make you catch a few pounds of crabs instead?
If this had been a few months ago, Shi Tian might have believed such words. After months of dealing with old man’s tricks, he had become immune to such small schemes!
"Xiao Tian, I want to eat Sweet and Sour Carp. Are you going to catch Carp or should I catch Big Head? If you catch Carp, I’ll cook; if I catch Big Head, then you’ll cook. Big Head can’t be made sweet and sour; it can only be prepared as Chopped Chili Fish Head!" Yi Laotou casually remarked, sending chills down Shi Tian’s spine!
