Chapter 173: Chapter 136: Auctioning the Catch_2

"Are you interested in this fish? Actually, small fish like this aren’t as tasty as the bigger ones, but if you want it... well, you can have it."

After taking the fish and snapping a photo, Wang Bo didn’t put it into the fish protector; instead, he handed it directly to the middle-aged man who had just asked.

"Alright, how much for this fish?"

Seeing Wang Bo’s agreement, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands together excitedly and asked.

"Let’s say 100 yuan. We didn’t come here to fish for the money, so if you want it, you can have it for 100 yuan." After thinking for a moment, Wang Bo casually threw out a number.

The guy obviously knew the price of wild fish, and his eyes lit up when he heard the price Wang Bo mentioned. Considering that farm-raised Hua Lian is sold for ten yuan per half kilogram in the market, a fish this size should easily cost fifty or sixty yuan, but here was a wild one for just a hundred.

For him, it was definitely a deal worth taking; he could save twenty to thirty yuan at least.

He immediately took out his phone, scanned Wang Bo’s WeChat, and transferred 100 yuan over. Once Wang Bo received the money, the man couldn’t wait to carry off the fish to a farmhouse restaurant.

"Don’t rush, the slime on the fish is particularly fishy and hard to wash off. Don’t let it rub off on you." Seeing the man leave in a hurry, Wang Bo couldn’t help but call out a reminder.

"Master, you’ve started doing business now, but it seems like you made a bit of a loss," Tai said with a chuckle as he watched Wang Bo.

"True, my dad would probably scold me for squandering if he saw this. This fish could have been great to take home to eat or to give away as a gift," Wang Bo replied with a laugh, prompted by Tai’s comment.

Yang Xincheng, who was standing beside them, heard this and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, as Wang Bo said, they weren’t really concerned about the 100 or 200 yuan. For them, obtaining wild fish to give to subordinates or business partners was a good choice.

After all, farm-raised fish are available any time, but wild fish are not so common.

It’s not about the price; for people at their level, it’s the sentiment behind the gift that matters most.

"So, Master, you’re still okay with selling it?"

Hearing Wang Bo’s remark, Tai asked an additional question.

"Hey, isn’t Master Lin here today? That small fish from earlier is nothing compared to taking home a big one directly," said Wang Bo, slapping Lin Yang on the shoulder as he spoke.

Well, it seemed these folks were counting on Lin Yang as their savior, hoping everyone could take a big fish home from him.

Lin Yang, on the other hand, was unfazed.

While the group was chatting, the fishing float in front of Lin Yang suddenly dipped under the water, and at the same time, he lifted the rod, hooking a fish.

"Wow, it’s huge."

"The river doesn’t look that wide, but there’s such a big fish in it."

"It looks so satisfying. Suddenly, I feel interested in fishing too..."

Watching the splash Lin Yang’s fish made, those on the shore who were there to watch the fun and were curious to see if they could buy a fish couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.

Especially those who had fished before or liked to watch fishing videos and had some interest in fishing—when they saw Lin Yang pulling up the fish, their eyes shone brightly.

It wasn’t just about eating the fish; the thrill of catching it was exhilarating.

Particularly when they saw the large white carp, over a meter long, splashing on the surface, it seemed incredibly impressive, perhaps tapping into the innate hunting instinct buried in men’s DNA.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Lin Yang slowly reeled the fish in toward the shore.

This time it was Li Xiaopeng’s turn to help with the landing net as he was free after his own attempt at casting. He came over to the riverbank with the net and scooped the fish right into it.

"A white carp, about twenty pounds. Anyone interested?"

Having lifted the big fellow from the net, Lin Yang first placed it in the nearby fish protector, then turned to ask Wang Bo and the others around him.

However, they all shook their heads in unison.

"White carp isn’t tasty; we’re waiting for Hua Lian."

"Exactly, Fat Head is so much more delicious!"

"Seriously... you picky guys still have the nerve to choose." Hearing their response, Lin Yang looked at them with disdain and made a snide remark.

He then turned to the people on the shore. Since the few of them didn’t want it, Lin Yang was ready to sell to anyone else interested.

"A big white carp, about twenty pounds, anyone want it? Take it for 300 if you’re interested!"

"Well, I’d like to buy it, but isn’t the fish too big?"

"Yeah, such a large fish, our family of four wouldn’t be able to finish it in one meal."

"How about we club together and buy it?"

Having heard Lin Yang’s offer, the people on the shore were somewhat tempted, but the fish was just too large for one person to consume.

Some then suggested splitting it between various people, and after hearing their comments, Lin Yang naturally didn’t mind, but he still offered some advice to them.

"Pooling together is fine, if you don’t buy it, I’ll just take it home. If you do want to buy it, it’s best for two people to split it, cut it down the middle, half for each. Trust me, this restaurant’s spicy chopped fish head is incredible. One dish for the head, another for the body, it’s the perfect way to enjoy it.

Of course, if someone prefers the tail, then ignore what I’ve said."

Listening to Lin Yang, the people exchanged glances, and from each other’s eyes, they could see their shared enthusiasm.
