Chapter 226: Choosing the Battlefield
"In the video, Xue Tiezhu said that the location of this fish pond is very particular; the fishing spots are too high above the water surface, plus the fish inside are all huge, which leads to such a high rate of rod bursting."
"Indeed, I’ve come across Xue Tiezhu the streamer’s videos recently, but I really don’t fancy him. His style is just mimicking Zeng Jupen, always spinning dark pits. He spun this Golden Peak Mountain dark pit, too, but it seems like he failed in the end?"
"I saw that episode. Xue Tiezhu did indeed have his rod burst, but... @Old Liao, the Golden Peak Mountain Fish Pond is not cheap. It charges 500 yuan for three hours. That’s not affordable for us!"
"Even though the fee is expensive, the boss offers a high price for buying back the fish. Didn’t you see in Cui Ruogou’s video? If you catch a silver carp or bighead carp over twenty jin, the boss buys it back on the spot for 200 yuan each! If you catch three silver or bighead carps over ten jin each within three hours, then it’s not a loss!"
"It’s hard to say, who knows if they’ve stocked the pond recently. If there isn’t a single silver or bighead carp over ten jin, wouldn’t we still suffer a huge loss if we go?"
"That’s true. For such huge dark pits, the water is very deep, and with such exorbitant fees, we might end up with a big loss!"
"I’ve got not much left of my pension this month, I can’t afford it. You guys go ahead and battle it out tomorrow!"
...
Upon hearing Old Liao’s suggestion to go to the dark pit at Golden Peak Mountain tomorrow, the old men in the group started sharing their opinions.
Most of the old men felt that there was no need to go to such an expensive place, despite the high buy-back price offered by the boss.
