Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Shoddy Fish Pond and Fishing Spot

But surely, by turning over this box of gold, he would get a reward, right?

At the very least, they should let Zhou Tao, Captain Zhou, apply to cover the 21,000 yuan paid for the fishing spot fee.

Thus, in the end, Ye Chen and his friends managed to fish here for free.

No matter how you look at it, this deal was worthwhile.

Ye Chen naturally thought of these points, so he explicitly invited the elders from the Jiang City River small team to fish.

When these elders saw Ye Chen paying out of his own pocket for them to fish for six hours in this expensive fish pond, they were ecstatic.

They initially thought that the fish pond’s owner, after hearing Ye Chen’s name, would enthusiastically waive the fee for the fishing spots.

Although the owner, Wang Long, didn’t give face to Ye Chen, Ye Chen still paid out of his own pocket and slapped Wang Long’s face.

This made the elders feel exhilarated and they were very happy about Ye Chen’s generosity.

For a while, these elders crowded around Ye Chen expressing their thanks.

"Mr. Ye, this is really too much, it’s a thousand yuan per person!"

"Yes, Mr. Ye, I never imagined you’d pay for us out of your own pocket, we’re so thankful..."

"Mr. Ye, if I catch a big one later, I’ll definitely share one with you, making sure you won’t come out empty-handed today!"

"What are you saying? Mr. Ye will definitely not come out empty-handed today; he’ll surely catch a real monster, breaking the curse of not catching any fish!"

"Mr. Ye is truly a great benefactor, truly a fresh blood of our Jiang City fishermen, I admire someone of his character!"

"Mr. Ye, standing under the sunlight, his tall and majestic figure makes me feel he’s a great person!"

While many elders flattered Ye Chen, he naturally enjoyed the feeling.

After all, if these elders had to pay out of their pocket to fish here, it would be somewhat unreasonable.

It couldn’t end with him reaping all the benefits while they got nothing, right?

Just then, a brawny man unlocked the fish pond’s gate.

The elders also parked their electric scooters in front of the pond, and everyone walked towards the pond with their fishing gear.

The environment of the pond indeed was a bit rudimentary, even "harsh" might be a suitable word.

Inside the pond, there were no asphalt roads, just dirt paths.

Ye Chen led Liao Xuexue and the elders following behind the brawny man who was leading the way.

After roughly ten minutes, they finally reached a fish pond.

This pond was a large pit, sunken in.

It resembled a mine, and the fishing spots, like ore deposits, were built on the slope.

It was very high above the water surface, at least five or six meters high.

Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned.

Damn...

With such a height, no wonder the burst rod rate was high.

At such a height, the stress point on the fishing rod must be different from fishing at the pond’s water level line.

True to its name, Burst Pole Land, indeed a notorious pit...

When they saw the outrageous fishing spot setup, many elders wanted to retreat.

Also beside this fifteen-acre pond, there were a few fishermen already fishing.

Not many fishermen, just thirty or forty people.

Spread over fifteen acres, it seemed particularly desolate.

Finally, this muscular man took Ye Chen and the others to their designated fishing spot.

This location was situated to the direct north of the fish pond, lying at the bottom of a slope.

Above the slope, there’s a five-meter-wide dirt road, and just below is the fish pond, about over six meters away from the water surface.

And nearby, there was also an oxygenation pump for the pond providing oxygen.

Anyone who often fishes would know that, near the oxygenation pumps of fish ponds, it’s absolutely the worst spot for fishing.

Because here, it’s rare for any fish to bite.

Seeing this, everyone immediately protested.

These elderly men, filled with righteous indignation, surrounded the muscular man demanding an explanation.

"Come on, a thousand dollars per spot, and you place us here?"

"Young man, this is a bit unfair, everyone who often fishes knows that near the fishpond’s oxygenation pumps, it’s the worst place for catching fish."

"Yeah, even if you don’t respect Mr. Ye, what about the respect for the thousand dollars?"

"Why do others have better fishing spots than ours?"

And there were even a few hot-tempered elderly men, like Old Zhang, who, seeing themselves targeted like this.

Couldn’t help but burst out swearing: "Damn it, refund! What a lousy place this is!"

Encircled by over twenty elderly men, the muscular man was spit all over his face just from their saliva.

Finally, he adopted a grim expression, frowned and said in a deep voice.

"The slots in our fishpond cannot be chosen by the fishefolk themselves, so wherever you’re placed is where you’ll stay!"

"We’re not forcing you to fish here; if you’re willing to fish, fish; if not, get lost and don’t shout at me!"

...

After dropping that line, the muscular man turned and left immediately.

Old Liao was fuming at that moment.

Damn it.

These old men have lived their whole lives, when have they ever been treated like this?

He was about to step forward to stop the muscular man and have a good argument with him.

Each person paid a thousand dollars for the spot, just for six hours of fishing.

Assigning them this spot, isn’t it just making things difficult on purpose?

However, before he could take a few steps, Ye Chen called him back.

"Alright, Old Liao, let’s just fish here now, I think the Feng Shui of this spot is not too bad."

Ye Chen’s words also calmed Old Liao down.

Then he began to observe their fishing spot.

Located to the direct north of the fish pond, under their fishing spot, there were two huge oxygenation pumps continuously supplying oxygen to the pond, creating quite a bit of noise and foam.

Old Liao gave a bitter smile to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, this spot is definitely the worst spot in the pond, how can it be good?"

After Old Liao finished speaking, the other elderly men also spoke to Ye Chen.

"Yeah, Mr. Ye, this place can only be said to be too awful, fishing here, not to mention catching any fish, we probably won’t even get a nibble!"

"Mr. Ye, we really feel bad about the twenty-one thousand dollars you spent, with that money, how many ribs could have been bought?"

"Mr. Ye, not just you, even if Jiang Taigong came here today, casting a rod he’d catch nothing but air!"

"Right, Mr. Ye, let’s talk to Wang Long and ask for a swap of fishing spots, this is really too unfair!"
