Yan Bugui glanced at it, a little envious, then turned his head and stared intently at his own float.
A few seconds later, Yan Bugui slapped his forehead, looked at Wang Dabao, and asked, "Dabao, didn't you forget to bring bait?"
Didn't you bring it?
"Hey, that explains why there's been no movement for so long."
Yan Bugui sighed and said quietly, "Today I'll be generous and let you benefit from it."
As he spoke, Yan Bugui grabbed a handful of bait from his cloth bag and threw it out.
These days, it's really hard to catch fish in Shichahai without baiting the area. You can catch something, but the probability is very low, which is why Yan Bugui was so sure that Wang Dabao hadn't baited the area.
Wang Dabao sneered, "So, you, Yan Laoxi, are trying to take advantage of my feed because your pit is so close to mine!"
Then we might have to put you to the test.
Wang Dabao twitched the corner of his mouth and probed his consciousness into the island space.
Since I can put items into the island's space at will and take them out at will, I wonder if I can control the creatures in the sea area next to the island?
Extend your consciousness into the waters surrounding the island.
Soon after, he indeed encountered a large fish that was seventy or eighty centimeters long. Wang Dabao didn't care whether the fish could adapt to Shichahai Lake. With a thought, the large fish was released into Shichahai Lake from a distance.
Wang Dabao's face lit up with joy; it had indeed worked.
Just then, Yan Bugui's float moved.
With a flick of his fishing rod, Yan Bugui skillfully lure the fish to the shore, then scoop it out with a landing net.
The fish was a bit small, and Yan Bugui was slightly disappointed; the commotion it caused was somewhat different from his expectations.
"Old Yan, are there any big fish in Shichahai Lake?" Wang Dabao put his fishing rod aside and lit a cigarette.
"A big fish? How big?"
Yan Bugui grumbled and threw the bait back into the water.
"The kind that weighs about ten kilograms?" Wang Dabao asked seriously.
Before Yan Bugui could answer, Sha Zhu laughed and said, "Wang Dabao, you must be dreaming. Although I don't fish, I am a cook. There hasn't been a ten-pound fish in Shichahai for the past ten years."
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
"Hey, why are you so stubborn? I said no, and that's final," Sha Zhu said firmly, arms crossed.
Before Wang Dabao could speak, Sha Zhu's eyes lit up. "Wang Dabao, how about this? If anyone catches a fish weighing ten pounds or more today, I'll lose twenty yuan to you. If no one does, you lose twenty yuan to me, how about that?"
"That doesn't make sense."
Wang Dabao stubbed out his cigarette and turned to look at Sha Zhu. "We were talking about whether we had fish weighing ten pounds or more. How did you manage to catch one?"
Sha Zhu chuckled and slapped his forehead. "Hey, it's fine if we don't catch it, but everyone has to see that the fish has to weigh at least ten pounds. Anyone want to bet?"
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just twenty yuan."
Wang Dabao looked sullen.
Sha Zhu immediately patted his butt and stood up. "Hey, Wang Dabao, you said it yourself. Second Uncle and Third Uncle are both here. They heard it too, and they'll be our witnesses."
"Alright, I'll be your witness."
Liu Haizhong waved his hand and glanced at Wang Dabao with amusement. In his eyes, Wang Dabao was just giving money to Sha Zhu. Twenty yuan was no small amount of money. He was really wasting money.
Yan Bugui squinted his small eyes and said, "Well, I'll be a witness too, but whoever wins gets a pack of cigarettes as a reward, not much, just two cents."
"Heh, I'll buy you 80 cents."
Sha Zhu waved his hand and handed out the cigarette.
In his view, this was simply picking money out of Wang Dabao's pocket. No, it was even easier than picking money out of pocket, since Wang Dabao would hand it to him.
Wang Dabao smiled slightly, "You want to play like this? Then I'll start cheating!"
With a thought, Wang Dabao directed the large fish, which was seventy or eighty centimeters long and weighed forty or fifty kilograms, toward Yan Bugui's hook.
