The bald boss was having breakfast when he saw a customer push the door open and looked up to greet him.
Upon seeing that it was Wu An, he smiled and said, "It's you."
What should I buy today?
Wu An explained his request, mainly to buy more fishing rods, preferably of better quality, as he had already looked at several when he came last time.
Some fishing rods have a luck bonus that can reach 10 points, and their prices are outrageous; a single fishing rod costs 1888.
This isn't even the best one in the store.
There's also something worth 30,000 yuan, which, in the words of the bald boss, is the store's prized possession.
Wu An naturally didn't need it.
At least for now, we don't need to.
Besides the fishing rod, there are other accessories that, when combined properly, can affect the maximum amount of luck boost.
The bald boss's surname was Zhao, and he also gave his name.
Practice makes perfect.
After exchanging names, Wu An had the advantage of luck, plus guidance from the fishing expert Lao Mai, and chose the right fishing rod, reel, and other accessories.
The main style is a mix-and-match.
Mr. Zhao was speechless.
What's going on here?
Is this how you buy fishing tackle?
Old Mai didn't say much, letting Wu An choose as he pleased, only explaining things when Wu An asked questions.
Although Wu An's choices seemed casual, the combination was indeed very suitable.
Wu An quickly put together the most expensive set, which could boost his luck value to a maximum of 14 points.
You're sure to win a big prize!
Wu An muttered to himself, wishing he could rush into the sea and cast a couple of times.
After buying his fishing gear, Wu An looked around and asked, "Boss Zhao, besides fishing gear, do you sell anything else here?"
Mr. Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I'll buy it."
"It's just that it's the fishing moratorium now, so I didn't display it."
What do you need?
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "Cast nets, shrimp traps, crab traps, and longline fishing."
Mr. Zhao gave a quote for each one.
Wu An asked, "If I buy it now, when can I receive the goods?"
Mr. Zhao said, "Except for longline fishing, which has a longer ordering cycle, the others can be delivered in two or three days. How many do you need?"
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "Three casting nets, 10 shrimp traps and 10 crab traps each, and if you're going to use longline fishing, give me a 1,000-meter line."
Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up: "I can deliver all the goods in a week."
"And I handle after-sales service, so feel free to contact me if you need repairs."
He offered his contact information.
Wu An nodded and paid the deposit.
Mr. Zhao personally escorted them to the door. The owner of the fishing tackle shop next door was eating rice noodles and asked, "Why are you welcoming and seeing them off like this? I know you're in business, but I would have thought you were seeing off a master."
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "This is God."
The shopkeeper next door asked, "What did you all buy?"
Mr. Zhao touched his bald head and said, "Trade secret."
After saying that, he turned around and went back into the shop.
The shop owner next door muttered angrily, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy. Watching Wu An ride away on his bicycle, he felt very regretful. Who would have thought that such an unassuming young man would actually be a big customer?
He could only watch enviously as the bald man made money, and make a few sarcastic remarks.
...
Wu An rode his bicycle to the market.
I bought some fish bait, miscellaneous fish and shrimp. Even though it's for fishing, it still cost me almost a hundred yuan.
Seeing that there were watermelons for sale, I bought two more.
Yesterday we hastily boarded the boat and set sail without any preparation, and as a result, the three of us were almost dead from the sun, and even water was scarce. Today, after much reflection, we bought a lot of water to put on the boat.
I did a big shopping spree at the supermarket, preparing plenty of food, drinks and snacks, so that even if I'm stuck at sea for half a month, I can eat and drink freely.
When we came out of the supermarket, the car was already packed full.
Spending money like water.
If the final payment for the fishing boat is deducted, he will only have a little over 30,000 yuan left.
We don't have much money left.
He wasn't worried; he figured he'd just earn it in the sea.
I took a moment to call Guang Liangjun again, but no one answered.
Old Mai asked, "Has no one answered yet?"
Wu An nodded.
Almost two hours have passed since this morning, and he has made three phone calls, but Guang Liangjun has neither answered nor returned a single one.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the dock first."
Head straight to the dock.
The dock was still full of fishing boats. At this time, the fishing boats that were supposed to go out to sea had already set off. Very few fishing boats were going out to sea at this time, and people would say that they were too late to catch the boats.
Ah Qing boarded the boat first, but soon came running down angrily, shouting, "Brother, Guang Liangjun didn't wash the fishing boat yesterday!"
Wu An frowned.
I called Guang Liangjun again, but no one answered.
He said, "Let's not rush to go out to sea. Let's clean the fishing boat first."
Aqing nodded and went to get busy.
Just as Wu An was about to go look for him, the door of a prefab house not far away opened, and a figure staggered out of it. Wu An looked closely and realized that it was none other than Guang Liangjun.
He frowned, quickly walked over, and greeted them.
Guang Liangjun looked exhausted, with heavy dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, clearly having stayed up all night. Upon seeing him, he smiled and said, "Handsome, good morning."
Wu An said, "You haven't forgotten that we need to go to the county to complete the formalities, have you?"
Guang Liangjun yawned: "Hey, to be honest, I really forgot."
"..." Wu An suppressed his anger, too lazy to argue with this guy about not cleaning the fishing boat yesterday, and asked, "Shall we go back to your house to get our things first?"
Guang Liangjun said, "Ahem, no rush. I've been busy all night and I'm both tired and hungry. Let's find a place to eat first."
Upon hearing this, Wu An frowned.
Originally, he planned to go to the county with Guang Liangjun to complete the formalities first, and then return to the town. He would have Aqing buy all the food and drinks so that he could go out to sea as soon as he got back.
But because he couldn't contact Guang Liangjun, he went along to make purchases.
This back-and-forth has already wasted a lot of time.
It's bad enough that his plans were disrupted, but now Guang Liangjun is delaying things, I wonder what kind of tricks he's up to.
He couldn't fathom the mind of a gambler using ordinary methods, so he patiently said, "Then I'll treat you to something. I'll buy some steamed buns on the way and you can eat them there."
Guang Liangjun shook his head: "No, I like to eat rice noodles in the morning, so I have to sit down and eat slowly."
Wu An took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"I'll call a car after you finish eating."
"Let's go and come back quickly."
Guang Liangjun chuckled and said, "Handsome boy, what's the rush? Even I, a boat seller, am not this impatient. Why are you in such a hurry to buy a boat?"
Just then, Guang Liangjun's phone rang. He took it out, chatted for a few minutes, and then hung up. He said anxiously, "My mother fell and was taken to the hospital."
"I have to go take a look."
"Look at this... I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the procedures today."
"You can take this boat and sail it for now."
After saying that, he turned around and ran to the tricycle, got on and drove away.
Wu An watched him leave with a gloomy expression. Old Mai came over and asked, "Why did he leave alone?"
Wu An said, "He said his mother fell... He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to sell the boat anymore."
Old Mai shook his head: "Impossible. Money doesn't just fall from the sky. He'll only be more short of cash."
"The price you offered is already quite high. Even if someone tries to snatch it away, they won't be able to offer a higher price."
Wu An had no idea what Guang Liangjun was up to, and he didn't bother to think about it too much, but he knew things definitely wouldn't go so smoothly.
He sighed and said, "Never mind, let's go out to sea first."
