Chapter 206 Not optimistic
"Why is he here?
Shouldn't this guy be busy opening a shop?"
"Master... you're making it so hard for me to find you... I heard from the teahouse owner that Xiaochuan and the others came to visit you. Why didn't you tell me every time they came?"
Chen Guanghui felt a little aggrieved. Could it be that his master still had a grudge against him because of what Xiao Yao did last time?
"I haven't had time yet. I thought I'd get up early and take my younger siblings to the beach. The kids have never seen the ocean before, so it's something new.
I was thinking of going back to the teahouse from the beach, but I didn't expect you two to come over one by one."
Song Anning was very helpless. He felt like a hidden NPC. As long as he showed any trace, these people would come to catch him.
“I see, I thought Master was secretly fishing again without telling me!
Look, I've brought all the fishing gear, the same one my master gave me."
"..."
I have to say that sometimes Chen Guanghui's thoughts are really simple. The only thing on his mind is fishing, but he can't catch anything. He is both novice and playful.
"You're only thinking about fishing. How are things going at the shop? I brought over a dozen boxes of goods this time, and I'm just waiting for you to fill the tea bags with tea leaves."
Chen Guanghui, who was full of energy before, sat down on a stone not far away and sighed heavily when he heard Song Anning mention this.
"Master, you don't know. I told my family about this idea, and they all said I was kidding. It was something that hadn't been heard of in thousands of years, and people here wouldn't accept it."
Song Anning had thought about this result before, so she was not surprised. She asked him:
"Then let's forget it?"
"No! We can't just give up like this! Master has come up with such a great idea. I've tasted it and it's really good. Why not give it a try?"
“I roughly calculated that I would rent a shop, decorate it, and prepare some tea.
One thousand taels of silver is enough. Even if we don’t make any money, we won’t lose anything either.”
"Decided?"
"Of course! The shop is already half-renovated, Master, you won't go back on your word, right?"
This was the first time that Chen Guanghui ran a shop on his own since he turned 30. No one was optimistic about him. Even his mother had privately approached him many times to ask him to give up the idea.
No matter whether they are optimistic or not, Chen Guanghui has made up his mind that he must open this shop!
"I have no regrets. You said these things aren't expensive, so what if they fail?"
"Yeah, what if we fail?"
At this moment, Chen Guanghui became even more determined. If his master wasn't afraid of a little girl, why should he, a grown man, be afraid? To be ridiculed by others? To be scolded by his family?
He is not afraid!
The two talked for a while, and from what he said, they learned that all kinds of tea had been prepared, and in another five or six days, the shop would be almost decorated.
Now all that’s left is to find a waiter and pack the tea bags.
I didn't expect that the young man who was always so carefree would move so quickly. He is a bit like Su Chen.
At this time, a few little ones also ran over with small wooden buckets, smiling and showing Song An Ning what they had dug up.
"Sister, I dug all of these. Isn't that awesome?"
"Sister Xiaoyu took me to find a lot of small shells, they are so beautiful.
And this little stone is pretty too. I'm going to take it home and put it on my windowsill."
"Sister Xiaoyu has helped you so much, has Ayue thanked her?"
"Yes, Ah Yue also gave two candies to Sister Xiaoyu and Brother Xiaochuan."
After the children got familiar with each other, they had a lot of fun playing. After folding several half buckets into full buckets, they ran off to play in the corners hand in hand.
"Brother Chen, how are Xiaochuan and Xiaoyu doing in the teahouse? If you think it's not going well, it's better to tell me as soon as possible. There's no need to embarrass you for my sake."
Chen Guanghui waved his hands quickly.
"No, no, these two kids are smart and can endure hardships. Old He loves them very much.
Now, even if you give him ten taels of silver to take the brother and sister away, he will not agree.
Especially Xiaochuan, this kid is really smart. Others who go to deliver goods are just delivering goods, and it is rare for him to remember the way.
I don't know when this child memorized all the tea in the shop. He would even talk to the customers when delivering the goods, and sometimes even introduce some new teas.
You won’t believe it, but someone actually came to me and asked Xiaochuan to introduce him to someone.”
"Haha, he's a smart kid. My two are far inferior to Xiaochuan."
The children wanted to play here for a while. Chen Guanghui felt itchy when he saw the sea. Since they were at the seaside, he put on a nonchalant look and bared his teeth, asking Song An Ning to teach him how to fish.
There were several fishing rods in the fishing gear set. Song Anning picked up one at random. This time they chose bottom fishing.
Just as he was about to take action, he heard Chen Guanghui ask:
"Master, what is this fish-shaped piece of iron?
I've never seen it before. I asked other people, but they didn't know either."
"This is a lure. It's used on the two middle fishing rods. To put it simply, it's a small piece of metal that imitates small fish and shrimp, so the fish underwater will bite."
"Is this still possible? Then I'll try..."
“Wait, the fishing rod in your hand is suitable for freshwater fishing, this one can be used.
But we are currently in a reef-ridden area, so lures tend to get stuck on the bottom. Also, this rod is best used at mid-tide, which is not suitable now that the tide is out."
Song An Ning said this calmly, but in fact only Xiangxiang knew that she was reading it from the system screen, otherwise she would not understand.
"Hey, you are indeed my master, Chen Guanghui! You know so much, how come I have never heard of it?
No, Master, when we get back to town, you tell me and I’ll write it down. I’ll write down everything you say.”
"..."
Song Anning felt a little guilty. She was just learning on the spot! If she were to actually practice, she would be far behind.
"It's good to remember it. You still need to use different fishing rods to fish more often. You will naturally remember it after a long time."
"Take this rod, put on the bait, and cast..."
While waiting for the fish to be caught, Chen Guanghui hesitated to speak and asked:
"How long will Master stay this time? He won't leave this afternoon, will he?"
"No, there's nothing going on at home, and I'm willing to come out. Let's just play for a few days first."
"Hahaha, really? There's a fishing competition tomorrow, do you want to participate?"
"I……"
Chen Guanghui didn't give Song Anning a chance to refuse and immediately shouted:
"Master, my master... they all laughed at me...
Please, just agree! Let's kill them both, master and disciple!
Please agree to it quickly, okay?
Do you know how I have been living these years?"
"..."
