Chapter 309: Chapter 288: Unexpected Encounter with Dunzi—Are You Here to Poop Too?

The bait-stealing Wu Xiaofeng swiftly cast his hook into the river.

Wu Xiaofeng had already tensed his muscles, ready to reel in at any moment!

A minute passed, then three minutes.

After fifteen minutes, the river remained calm, and Wu Xiaofeng was gradually getting impatient.

"What the hell is going on here?"

His fishing rod was clearly better than Chen Mo’s, his experience was greater than Chen Mo’s, and now even the bait was the same.

Yet, while Chen Mo wasn’t even putting his hook into the water, the fish were jumping like they had lost their minds to bite. And here he was, offering bait right to their mouths, and no fish would bite!

Wu Xiaofeng clenched his fists, wishing he could strip down and jump into the river to catch a fish to beat up.

On the other side, after Old Zhao posted the video, it unsurprisingly caused a stir in the fan group!

Fair Reward for Diligence Fang Zhizhong: "No way... This place looks a bit familiar. I thought Boss Xiao Chen was out of town, but he’s actually in Jingzhou? Hey, can you all help me figure out where this place is?"

Dunzi: "Damn, Chen Taigong fishing?"

AA Entertainment He Chunming: "Boss Fang, I remember now! Isn’t this the village at the foot of the mountain by our resort? We went there for tea when I was following you for inspections!"

Engineering Department Minister Du: "Exactly, exactly! I even went there for some surveys, no doubt about it, it’s Divine Dragon Bay!"

Seeing everyone so thrilled, Old Zhao’s long-disappointed heart was finally filled with vanity again. At this moment, he was extremely puffed up, pulling out a hidden trump card!

Another photo.

Nothing else, it was the pot base sauce Boss Xiao Chen gave him, so spicy and fragrant you could sense it from the photo even with just a casual snap.

Old Zhao: "Not saying much, Boss Xiao Chen gave me a pot base sauce. If anyone’s interested, come to Divine Dragon Bay for some hotpot. Just a bit unfortunate..."

Fair Reward for Diligence Fang Zhizhong: "What’s unfortunate? @Old Zhao"

This time, Old Zhao didn’t speak in the group.

He privately messaged Fang Zhizhong, "Boss Fang, I’m by the river in Divine Dragon Bay. Right now, we have everything for hotpot, except for meat! I feel a bit awkward mentioning it, what do you think?"

Fang Zhizhong was straightforward, "Got it, just wait there."

After speaking, Old Zhao contacted Dunzi again.

"Dunzi, about you guys forgetting me last time when you went to Yu Province to eat, I won’t mention it."

Dunzi: "Hehe, Old Zhao, I knew you aren’t someone who holds grudges. When Boss He opens a foot massage shop at the resort, I’ll treat you to a foot bath. By the way, what’s with that hotpot base sauce you posted?"

Seeing Dunzi take the bait, Old Zhao said, "So, the pot base sauce was given by Boss Xiao Chen. I have everything here; it’s just that Boss Xiao Chen was having fish hotpot, and it seemed really fragrant. But there’s no place to buy seafood here."

Dunzi was even more eager, "Got it, I’ll drive over now, rest assured on the speed of Kai’s car owner! Seafood, right? Leave it to me!"

And then...

"Du Gong, can you eat spicy now? Really can? I didn’t tell anyone else; you’re the only one I told, we have everything now, but I accidentally broke my pot earlier, what do you say we do?"

"Boss He, haha, I’ve got everything ready, yeah, just bring the girls over to eat. Oh, by the way, is there a supermarket near you? Bring some beef tripe, duck intestines, and meatballs or something. I hadn’t planned on hotpot earlier, so I didn’t buy these things."

"..."

After a flurry of messages, Old Zhao was counting on his fingers, mumbling, "Meat, vegetables, meatballs, beef tripe, duck intestines, tofu, vermicelli, seafood, everything’s set!"

"What’s all set, I see you texting away, who are you chatting with?" Guo Aiqin asked in confusion.

Old Zhao was now overjoyed, "Just watch, today I’m going to show you the true meaning of freeloading!"

Guo Aiping still didn’t get it, but she didn’t bother with Old Zhao.

Because Chen Mo just invited her to have hotpot, "Whatever, I’ll go have a taste first."

Old Zhao: ???

Chen Mo’s side was having a great time, slicing the freshly caught big fish into thin slices in slow motion in front of the mothers, ten adults and children plus Guo Aiping devoured it all.

"I don’t think I need any veggies, I’m already too full," Jingyi’s Mother said, rubbing her slightly bulging belly, feeling a bit embarrassed as she bent down into a threefold.

"Yes, this is honestly the best hotpot I’ve ever had. By the way, Xiao Chen, how did you make this sesame oil dip? Next time I have hotpot at home, I want to use it too!"

It wasn’t any secret recipe, Chen Mo told the moms the ingredients needed for the sesame oil dip, "By the way, after hotpot when you’re feeling a bit greasy, how about some ice cream?"

The young mothers cheered in unison, looking even happier and more excited than the kids.

Jingyi’s Mother chose a strawberry flavored cone, the others picked melon and watermelon flavors, and the kids chose their own favorites.

"Wenqing, play here with your classmates for now, I have something to do over there, I’ll be back in a bit."

"Okay." Jiang Wenqing was playing hopscotch on the ground with Li Jingyi.

Chen Mo watched for a while, puzzled at how this simple game became nationwide without the internet?

You just draw squares on the ground with chalk, single squares require hopping on one foot, double squares allow jumping with both feet, and at the end, you need to throw a tile behind you.

Wherever the tile lands, that square becomes your house, and after that, others can’t step on that square when hopping.
