After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 170

The situation here is different, and Bailu didn't know what to say. After all, being able to eat and dress warmly meant that life was not bad, but she didn't say anything and stayed in the fields with Grandpa Xu for a whole day of inspections—since she had come all this way, it wouldn't be right not to do some work!

The next day, the egret refused to go down to the ground and drove towards the reservoir with its fishing rod.

This reservoir has a long history; in fact, my great-great-great-great-grandfather is buried right next to it.

With a total capacity of over 400,000 cubic meters, it is a small (2) type reservoir that is mainly used for irrigation, combined with flood control and aquaculture. Two years ago, the government spent over 5 million yuan to reinforce and improve it. After completion, it was contracted out and a large number of adult fish of various colors were put into it in order to give anglers a new home.

It's still in the two-month trial operation period, but when Bai Lu, Bai Chen, and Bai Wei brought Grandpa Xu here, there were only a few scattered people in the distant, dense forest. If Bai Lu hadn't had good eyesight and spotted the fishing rod, she wouldn't have been able to find them!
"Hello, are you here to fish?"

A middle-aged man with a beer belly came up and asked, his face smiling, but his whole demeanor was somewhat gloomy. In short, his smile was uglier than his tears.

Bai Lu glanced at him, raised an eyebrow, and pulled the hat down over her head: "Boss, how much does it cost to fish?"

"Two hundred dollars for eight hours, single-pole."

Bai Chen was a little surprised: "Boss, this is a bit expensive!"

The reservoir owner had a long face: "But my fish are big! I released dozens of tons of fish, and each one weighs no less than ten pounds! This time, I'm offering three yuan per pound. If you catch one fish per hour for eight hours, you won't lose money!"

"You can pull it!"

A fisherman walked back looking dejected: "I've been fishing for twenty-three days since you opened, and have I caught a single fish?"

He threw the small stool, bucket, and fishing rod on the ground: "I give up, I can't conquer this fishpond!"

It's a serious matter for a fisherman to admit that he can't conquer the fishpond!

"No, brother!"

The fish market owner panicked: "Just hold on a little longer! I won't charge you!"

There are already few people here, and now this person is leaving!
It became even less popular!

The fisherman waved his hands frantically.

Every day they arrive full of ambition, only to leave dejected. Who understands that feeling?

"Two hundred a day if you can't catch any fish?" Bai Chen said.

"I have fish here, look at the big screen if you don't believe me!" The reservoir owner slapped his thigh and pulled Bai Chen under the advertising screen: "Look, look!"

The reservoir owner, a tough and unyielding man, really wanted to cry.

He contracted the fishpond and spent a lot of money on advertising in the early stages, which successfully attracted many anglers to come and see it for the novelty.

The fishing enthusiasts are truly a mysterious organization. They have money and free time, and they will come from far and wide as long as there are fish to catch!

But, every time they came back empty-handed, they came back empty-handed twice – this did not dampen their indomitable spirit, but instead made them even more excited. However, for more than twenty days in a row, not a single angler was able to take away a single fish from the reservoir!

Even tilapia, which is already rampant in every part of the country, is not found!

At this point, the angler would no longer doubt that it was a problem with his equipment or his skills; it would definitely be that the reservoir owner hadn't put any fish in!
The reservoir owner is innocent!

He immediately displayed the video of the fish being caught on the big screen!

Tons of carp and silver carp, each weighing over ten kilograms, were being dumped into the water!
How could there be no fish!
The anglers were also surprised, because logically, such a large reservoir should not be without fish!

As the saying goes, fish swim where the water is.

Where there is water, fish will naturally appear.

Besides, the video of the reservoir owner releasing fish couldn't possibly be fabricated, could it? And it's impossible for him to release the fish and then retrieve them!

Honestly, with so many anglers failing to catch a single fish, the reservoir owner is even more worried than they are!

Because if things continue like this, his business will come to an end!

That's why he showed Bai Chen the big screen, hoping it would prove he's a truly conscientious boss!
