46: Go fishing with Wang Xinyi

Looking at her still wanting more, Chen Xiangbei wiped her sweat while saying,

"Do you still want to play?"

"Yes, yes! It was so much fun, my parents never brought me here to play," Wang Xinyi replied.

"Let's go eat first, and tomorrow Brother will take you to play something even more fun, okay?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Xiangbei Gege."

So, the two of them went to a Cantonese restaurant, ordered some light dishes that were nutritious and well-balanced.

Light food can prevent stomach upset, as children's digestive systems are not yet fully developed and there are many things they cannot eat.

Chen Xiangbei carefully fed her, tasting every dish first. He wouldn't give her anything with a strong flavor.

Wang Xinyi was also very obedient; she ate whatever Chen Xiangbei gave her, finishing all the eggs, green vegetables, and steamed fish.

While eating, she didn't forget to tell Chen Xiangbei to eat more too.

"Xiangbei Gege, I'm full!" she said, patting her little belly.

"Okay, then let's go back for a nap. How about we go fishing when you wake up this afternoon?" Chen Xiangbei asked.

"Okay, okay! Let's go fishing!" Wang Xinyi said happily.

After eating, Chen Xiangbei took her home for a nap.

At 3 PM, Chen Xiangbei drove her to Baiyun Lake.

Going at this time meant the weather wasn't as hot; otherwise, the outdoor temperature could easily cause heatstroke, and children are already fragile.

Another reason was that with a child, he didn't need to fish so intensely; any fishing spot would do.

With the effectiveness of the Secret Bait, he could easily catch fish, and he didn't need to catch expensive rare fish, as long as they were Ornamental Fish.

Around 4 PM, the sun was still high in the sky when Chen Xiangbei drove into the parking lot.

Getting out of the car, he took down the umbrella, then grabbed an outdoor chair, a fishing rod, a tackle box, and a fish box.

The Secret Bait was already prepared at home and could be used immediately.

He took Wang Xinyi to the center of the fishing area, where generally few people fish because it's not easy to catch fish here.

Chen Xiangbei opened the umbrella, placed the outdoor chair under it, put the fish box there as well, and then had Wang Xinyi sit there.

"Xin Yi, you sit here. When Brother catches fish later, you'll be responsible for taking good care of them, okay?"

Wang Xinyi nodded and replied, "Okay, I will definitely take good care of the small fish."

After taking out his gear from the tackle box, he sat directly on the tackle box to fish.

The sun shone on the shadow of the umbrella, perfectly covering the area where he was fishing.

He took out the Secret Bait and threw a few clumps of bait into the nearby aquatic plants.

The expected scene didn't appear; it seemed the fish here were truly fished out, with not many left, big or small.

Chen Xiangbei observed carefully, noticing only some small miscellaneous fish. He wasn't in a hurry to cast his line and used a stick to beat the water surface to drive these fish away.

After waiting for a while, two blue-tailed fighting fish teamed up and surfaced, cautiously eating the bait in the water.

Chen Xiangbei seized the opportunity and cast his line towards the location of the two fighting fish.

The two fighting fish that were eating the bait were startled by the sudden situation and instantly disappeared into the aquatic plants.

Chen Xiangbei maintained his fishing posture without moving. Just then, a few fish similar to fighting fish swam over from a distance.

Looking closely, he realized they weren't fighting fish but Guppy, which are somewhat similar to fighting fish.

Both are small Ornamental Fish with colorful bodies.

These few Guppy were very brave, darting directly towards the bait and devouring it without hesitation.

One of the more unlucky ones bit the hook and was pulled up by him.

Wang Xinyi saw that he had caught a fish and stood up excitedly, her hands unconsciously clapping.

Chen Xiangbei brought the fish to her, unhooked it, and placed it in Wang Xinyi's hands.

She took the Guppy with both hands and carefully put it into the fish box, quietly watching it swim around inside.

Chen Xiangbei continued to cast his line and soon caught another one.

However, it wasn't a Guppy but a red Swordtail Fish, an Ornamental Fish that can be mixed with Guppy.

Looking at this bright red fish, Wang Xinyi was overjoyed.

She didn't expect to catch two fish so soon after arriving, and these all belonged to her.

By around 5 PM, he had successively caught over twenty Ornamental Fish of various shapes and colors.

There were Goldfish, Lanshou Goldfish, small Butterfly Koi, fighting fish, Swordtail Fish, Moonlight Fish, and other small Ornamental Fish.

Among them were two relatively rare Lionhead Goldfish, a tricolor cow and an eleven-red. The tricolor cow is a precious variety, and the eleven-red is a rare variety.

Chen Xiangbei discussed with Wang Xinyi that they would take these two fish to the market later to sell for money to buy dinner.

Wang Xinyi naively believed him, thinking he didn't have money for food, and even wanted to give him the money in her pocket. Chen Xiangbei didn't take it, saying that selling fish could earn a lot of money.

She didn't insist either, just saying, "Xiangbei Gege, we have so many fish, let's sell more so we can have lots of money for food!"

Chen Xiangbei smiled and said, "We don't need to sell that many, selling those two is enough. The money from selling them will be enough for us to eat lots of delicious things!"

"Okay then, let's catch more, so we can sell more, right?"

"Yes, we can fish for another half hour. If we catch ones as big as those two, we'll sell them and go back to eat, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" she said happily.

Half an hour later, he didn't catch any more rare Ornamental Fish, only small, inexpensive fish.

Chen Xiangbei packed up his things and put them back in the car, then took the two Lionhead Goldfish to the market for sale.

First, they went to a fish tank store to buy two fish tanks to put them in. Each person held a fish tank and hawked them along the street in the market.

Many people were attracted by their peculiar method and looked over.

Wang Xinyi was looked at by everyone and became a little shy, timidly holding the fish tank and leaning closer to Chen Xiangbei.

Chen Xiangbei called out, "Selling fish! Precious and rare varieties of Lanshou Goldfish for cheap! Excellent quality pure wild Lanshou Goldfish, come and take a look!"

Wang Xinyi was influenced by his shouting and also learned to call out softly, "Selling fish! Beautiful fish, come and buy!"

Everyone was melted by her childlike voice and said they wanted to buy her fish.

Wang Xinyi was bewildered by the questions; she didn't know how much to sell them for and could only turn to Chen Xiangbei for help.

Chen Xiangbei promptly helped her out, stating the prices for the two fish separately.

Before long, the two fish were sold for 1800 and 3800 respectively.

The prices weren't very high, mainly because the appearance was average and they couldn't fetch a higher price.

After selling the fish, the two returned to the car satisfied.

Although Wang Xinyi didn't know how much money this was, it didn't prevent her from being happy.

Chen Xiangbei started the car and drove towards the city. It was almost 6 PM now, so they would arrive just in time for dinner.
