Chapter 224: 224. New leeks have appeared!_1 Chapter 224: 224. New leeks have appeared!_1 [The block on the 223 is lifted, you can go watch it now.]

Exactly!

Two vexatious capitalists swung their sickles high:

“I was also wondering, what’s the deal, is the fishing bar not doing well? It used to be so vibrant, now when you post, nobody even asks.”

How many days has it been, these ten people back and forth, it’s just them, nine fishing and one working, even the grass in Peach Forest is about to be ripped out, yet no newcomers have shown up.

In the past, people would reserve their spots for the next day, but now they’ve skipped that procedure entirely, because there are simply no others.

Song Tan pondered with a serious face, “Is it because they keep failing to catch fish, so they sneak off to the forum to badmouth us?”

“Impossible…”

While mouthing ‘impossible’, Zhang Yanping’s spirits lifted, “Maybe that’s exactly the reason!”

He thought about it and pulled out a wide-angle photo from his phone, showcasing the verdant pond-side, the spring breeze fluttering through the willows, and nine fishermen, each clad in different attire, evenly distributed around.

Baseball caps, windbreakers, small stools, and long fishing rods.

Each was equipped with standard gear.

He posted the picture to the forum, this time not repetitive advertisement posts, but with a sigh:

[These brothers have been fishing for these many days, not to mention big fish, they haven’t caught more than three carps weighing two liangs. Their skills are too bad!]

As is well-known, fishermen can catch anything but fish, and they’re particularly prone to coming up empty-handed.

But the problem is they can say this, others can’t.

Sure enough, there was an immediate comment below:

[Are you trying to provoke a fight in the forum? One person not catching fish is called empty-handed, but ten people surrounding the pond and still coming up empty? Is it possible that there aren’t any fish in this pond at all?]

Zhang Yanping smiled faintly and posted a photo of the fish trap that Song Tan had set the day before.

Oh boy!

The entire forum erupted into a frenzy.

And at that moment, one of the leeks in reserve spotted the highlight:

[Wait, look at the guy in the white windbreaker at the front, isn’t he xx bro from our forum?]

Zhang Yanping, adept at stirring up the heat, quickly replied to the post:

[Are you talking about this Loach Brother? Ah, he’s been here many days, and aside from loaches, he can’t catch anything. Now even the lumpfish won’t bite his hook.]

Oh boy!

What a tremendous insult and disdain this was.

The comments section below the post turned into a bloody storm, as fists flew instantly.

And at this time, the one who had spoken at the beginning discovered another highlight:

[I was wondering why these few weren’t saying anything in the forum recently! So sneaky, they went fishing on their own!]

[What kind of feng shui treasure did they find? Hiding and hoarding, not a whisper of news was heard.]

…

Zhang Yanping saw the timing was right, and decisively posted his original advertisement again.

Those ten guys, quick to respond, were all celebrities in the forum. Now, showing just a back or some characteristic item, the netizens immediately matched each one with a name.

Everybody was fervently excited, knowing that this group of deceitful fishermen had hidden a good fishing spot!

“Ding, ding, ding, ding…”

Within three minutes, Zhang Yanping’s private messages were flooded with sign-ups.

Song Tan, with her phone in hand, watched the drama unfold, and now she too was satisfied:

“Good, let them be.”

“But Brother Yanping, maybe you should add another rule: a person can only fish for a maximum of three consecutive days,”

Three days is just enough time for them to make up their minds about spending money on purchases. If they don’t buy within those three days, it’s pointless to linger around afterwards.

Zhang Yanping nodded, “Tantan, we truly are siblings. Look at this, you’re a natural at doing business!”

“If you ask me, add another rule: once the three days of fishing are up, there must be a one-month gap before they can sign up again.”

Give folks some time to appreciate the good stuff, right? Otherwise, who’s got the funds to keep buying without a break?

The siblings exchanged glances, feeling their wallets bulging at that moment.

Song Tan even raised her voice, “Qiaoqiao, remember to harvest some honey after class this afternoon!”

They needed to stock up plenty to show respect for the new customers.

The fishermen sitting contently by the pond had already reached a zen state of mind.

Days without catching a fish, they felt a mix of calm and indignation, along with a reluctance to leave.

It’s a tangled mess of emotions that had them sitting there, day in and day out.

And believe it or not, thanks to lowered standards, they were now fine with lumpfish.

Wrapped in flour and deep-fried, oh, you can’t imagine how delicious it is.

Just then, Loach Brother felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

To avoid scaring the fish while fishing, everyone’s phones were either on silent or vibrate. At that moment, Loach Brother carefully set his fishing rod and took out his phone:

“Old Zhao… What’s up? I didn’t do anything, I’m just out for a walk… Truly, just walking… Who lied to you… What pond? I’m not fishing… What photo…”

He was sweating profusely mid-conversation when he heard someone from the other end of the pond picking up a call:

“Hello, Old Xu… Ah, don’t take the online hype seriously, it’s all for advertising, to make money… You have to believe me! Do you know how much I spent the first time I came here? Over ten thousand! Purely getting ripped off… No lie, I’m telling you the truth…”

“… What do you mean, ‘If I’m willing to spend the money, it must be good quality’? Don’t you understand what it means to be thrifty?”

“… The fish in the pond never bite, it’s so boring, I’m warning you so you don’t get conned… What? You’ve already signed up? Coming tomorrow? Impossible… We’re always here…”

The two anglers looked at each other after hanging up the calls, understanding without words.

The next moment, they frantically scrolled through their contacts, searching for Zhang Yanping’s name:

Sign up, sign up, sign up quickly!

It didn’t matter what time it was; they had to secure the spot for tomorrow first!

Because once those gourmets get a taste of these country dishes, let’s see if they can still get up from their seats!

However, before the message was sent out, Zhang Yanping’s notification had already arrived:

[Bro, sorry, tomorrow’s fishing spots have been filled by someone else…]

The folks with empty wallets: …

After hanging up, Zhang Yanping raised an eyebrow at Song Tan, “How about that? I’m pretty good as a customer service rep, aren’t I? Without me handling these miscellaneous issues, you’d be driven mad every day.”

“You’re only paying me a salary of fifteen hundred, I’m embarrassed for you, really. What job doesn’t make fifteen hundred these days?”

Song Tan glanced at him, “So, are you going to quit?”

Zhang Yanping: …

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it! Can’t put a price on family bonds…”

Getting the better end of a bargain and yet acting cute.

Song Tan forced a smile, “Family bonds, huh? In that case, Brother Yanping, how about I pay you a salary of thirty-five hundred, but you don’t take a share of the fishing or food earnings?”

Zhang Yanping instantly quieted down.

For ten people eating thirty portions and only paying for twenty, two hundred yuan goes to Song Tan, and both he and Seventh Uncle could pocket two hundred each per meal.

That’s not even counting breakfast!
