Free Web NovelChapter 1103: Chapter 450: If You Can’t Catch Fish, Dig for Lotus Roots! Old Sun: Anglers Do This All the Time! [Subscription Request]
Lin Xu inspected all the equipment his father-in-law purchased.
Not only is there a water pump, but there’s even a battery that can store about two kilowatt-hours of electricity. freёwebnovel.com
This equipment is a bit of a waste for fishing; it should be used for catching sea creatures.
After the tide recedes, the small ponds left behind might hold big catches if drained, much more reliable than fishing.
After looking, everyone drove to Lin Ji’s Food.
At the shop entrance, Old Sun was already holding a fishing bag, waiting with Grandma Sun in outdoor gear.
In the past, Grandma Sun didn’t understand Old Sun, but listening to his near-death experiences catching criminals while eating hotpot at the shop last time, she was really touched.
Now, not only does she not nag about fishing, but she even supports it.
Today, she specifically brought a Crucian Carp Rod, intending to fish together with Old Sun.
Besides Old Sun and his wife, Xie Baomin’s family has arrived. Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang are currently eating leftover fried veggie buns and fried sugar pastries from breakfast at the shop, while Su Peipei is eating yellow millet jujube cake.
"Is everyone here? Shall we head out then?"
Not many are going to Ginkgo Garden this time, it’s just three families.
Originally, Chen Yan was supposed to go too, but today Ren Jie’s aunt is celebrating her sixtieth birthday. As a niece-in-law, Chen Yan has to attend the birthday celebration and meet Ren Family relatives.
Both families’ parents have already agreed, so the engagement and marriage will naturally proceed smoothly; relatives should be met without any need for pretense.
As for Zeng Xiaoqi, she needs to attend a seminar at the TV station.
With the hit of "Food’s Flavor in the World," a satellite channel wants to take over the show, allowing everyone nationwide to see the food program, not just people in the Yanjing Region.
This is great for Zeng Xiaoqi, and Zhen Wensheng has already agreed.
But a TV station leader thinks Zeng Xiaoqi is too young and not qualified to be the satellite channel program director, wanting her to give up the director position of "Food’s Flavor in the World."
According to them, as a host, she should focus on hosting on screen, leaving program group management to more experienced people.
Clearly, someone sees the advertising value behind "Food’s Flavor in the World" and wants to keep it under control.
Of course, Zeng Xiaoqi disagrees.
So today she couldn’t attend the fishing trip, going to the TV station to argue instead.
To support Sister Xiaoqi, Lin Xu already told the TV station’s manager yesterday: unless Zeng Xiaoqi is the program director, he and Geng Lishan would withdraw from the show.
Additionally, they’d terminate personal image and title credits authorization.
Moreover, Joyful Media’s signed chefs would no longer appear on TV programs; these chefs include but are not limited to those from Lin Ji’s Food, Fishing Platform, Yanjing Restaurant, and other top chefs from major restaurants in Beijing, all signed by Chen Yan at Cheng JianShe’s Apprenticeship banquet.
"If only CCTV poached Sister Xiaoqi, she wouldn’t have to tolerate this."
Shen Jiayue sighed lightly, placing packed food from the marinated goods department into the car.
The troops haven’t moved, but the supply train is ready.
Winter fishing might mean fish not biting, but people shouldn’t go hungry.
This is a basic quality of a competent angler.
Lin Xu replied:
"It’s the same everywhere, wasn’t the director of ’A Bite of China’ resigning because the leaders were too controlling?"
"So Sister Xiaoqi just has to tolerate it?"
"If this negotiation fails, she can resign as well. Later let Sister Yan discuss cooperation with video platforms, digging into the internet which might not be inferior to TV stations..."
Lin Xu was about to say more when he suddenly saw Geng Lele walking over from afar.
The girl wore a light grey down jacket, donned fluffy earmuffs, and held a baked sweet potato, eating as she walked.
Didn’t Professor Cui mention having an experiment class today during dinner?
Why is this girl...?
"Lele, did you skip class?"
"No, don’t slander me, Brother Xu, I did the experiment and then came over... How can a fishing trip go without me?"
She walked over and handed another baked sweet potato she was holding to Shen Jiayue:
"This place uses smoked sweet potatoes, tastes great, Sister Yue, try it."
"Wow, thank you, Lele."
Shen Jiayue accepted the baked sweet potato, peeled the skin, tasted it, and nodded:
"It’s really delicious, sweet and fragrant."
By now everyone had arrived, started getting into cars; Xie Baomin’s family fitted in one car, Lin Xu’s car had Shen Jiayue, Geng Lele, and Dundun, while Old Sun and his wife sat in Shen Guofu’s car.
Once everyone got in, they set off.
Lin Xu drove ahead leading the way, Shen Guofu and Xie Baomin followed behind.
Looking at the rear of the Maxar, Old Shen clicked his tongue:
"This car is really nice, I’ll look at it in the showroom when I’m not busy, if it’s okay, I might buy one. We don’t have an SUV at home, inconvenient for travel."
Since shipping the old G-Wagon to Yinzhou, Shen Guofu already dealt with the previously bought sports cars; his home and company garages are empty.
Time to add two new cars.
Racing ahead, soon everyone arrived at the entrance of Ginkgo Garden.
Just as the car stopped, Mi Lan drove that Wuling Hongguang Mini from last time to open the door for everyone.
The gate opened, and several cars followed each other in.
Shen Guofu praised:
"So many ginkgo trees, this is nice, looks really good."
Old Sun was more concerned about the pond size, if it’s really over twenty acres, then today he can pull out the seldom-used seven-point-two rod from his fishing bag to try it.
