Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 67 No Comparison, No Harm

After successfully catching the first green bamboo carp, Xiao Kai caught two more green bamboo carp of similar size in the next half hour.

After that, Xiao Kai never caught another green bamboo carp.

Xiao Kai was not disappointed, because he knew very well how rare this kind of fish was, and he was very satisfied to have such a harvest in just a few hours today.

Anyway, there were still several days until his planned time, so he wasn't in a hurry.

As it grew dark, Xiao Kai ended his fishing trip early.

Back at the campsite, Xiao Kai opened the trunk door, took out the bass that had been stored in the refrigerator the day before, washed it, and set it aside.

Then he took out the rice cooker, skillfully poured in the rice, washed it clean, plugged it in, and pressed the cook button.

After finishing all that, Xiao Kai finally had time to sit down and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

I hadn't noticed before, but the scenery here is really nice. Combined with the music coming from the car, it's quite a rare treat.

Perhaps he was a little tired today, because Xiao Kai gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Kai felt someone gently pat his shoulder.

In a daze, Xiao Kai slowly opened his eyes.

The next second, a fair and beautiful face appeared in front of him, very close, only about 20 or 30 centimeters away.

"Wow!"

Being looked at so closely, even though the face was beautiful, Xiao Kai was still stunned.

He stood up almost instantly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was.

"Phew~ Miss Xu, what are you doing?"

Looking at the woman standing in front of him, Xiao Kai felt slightly displeased.

"Um... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to see if you were awake..."

Xu Lili's face seemed to show a hint of anxiety, hesitation, and embarrassment.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai guessed that the other party had something to say, and after calming himself down, he said, "Miss Xu, please speak if you have something to say!"

"Um~"

As if she had something difficult to say, Xu Lili hesitated for several seconds before finally speaking.

"Xiao Kai, one of my colleagues accidentally fell into the water while filming. We came in a hurry and didn't bring any spare clothes. Do you have any spare clothes that we could borrow?"

Perhaps fearing Xiao Kai would refuse, she added, "We can buy it with money!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai was both amused and annoyed.

These people are really weird. It's one thing to drive an SUV with no off-road capability to a place like this, but they don't even bring spare clothes. Don't they have any common sense?

Despite thinking this, Xiao Kai didn't say it aloud. Instead, he nodded and said, "Let's talk about the money later. I do have clothes, but they're all men's clothes. If you don't mind..."

Before Xiao Kai could finish speaking, Xu Lili immediately interrupted, "It's not a problem, my companion is a boy!"

Now Xiao Kai knew that the boy who fell into the water was Gao Wen.

No wonder he came to borrow clothes from Xiao Kai; after all, besides the three of them, only Xiao Kai would likely have clothes with him.

Fortunately, Xiao Kai was well-prepared this time, so clothes were not a problem. He quickly found some clothes and handed them to the other party.

After taking Xiao Kai's clothes, Xu Lili turned and jogged towards their car.

Only then did Xiao Kai notice that the three of them had returned sometime earlier and had set up a tent in an open space not far from him.

Watching the other person run away, perhaps feeling sorry for them, Xiao Kai said something without thinking.

"It's quite chilly here. If your companion doesn't mind, you can take a hot shower here. It'll help you warm up and avoid catching a cold!"

Upon hearing Xiao Kai's words, Xu Lili immediately stopped and turned to look at Xiao Kai's car, seemingly incredulous.

"Your car can even have a hot shower?"

Xiao Kai shrugged, spread his hands, and chuckled, "Although the conditions are a bit basic, it's not impossible!"

"That's wonderful, thank you!"

Upon receiving Xiao Kai's affirmation, Xu Lili's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she happily thanked Xiao Kai repeatedly.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai waved his hand, signaling her to quickly go and call someone.

Soon, led by Xu Lili, the boy named Gao Wen and the girl Xu Qing walked towards his car.

"Um, thank you, Brother Xiao!"

The boy named Gao Wen came up to Xiao Kai, and seemed a little apologetic as he thanked Xiao Kai.

Xiao Kai was bewildered by the apologetic tone in the other person's voice, completely unaware that the other person had just spoken ill of him on the way and was now feeling somewhat guilty.

After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Kai pointed to the shower tent that had already been set up under the side canopy and said, "We can talk about thanks later. You look like you're about to get hypothermia, go take a shower!"

Just now, while Xu Lili was calling for help, he used the spare folding bucket in the car to fetch a bucket of clean water from the river and put it in the bucket.

This bucket of clean water is connected to a small water pump in his car, which can be directly connected to the car's small gas water heater. The water is hot as soon as it passes through, which is very convenient.

The only two things that need to be consumed are a small amount of electricity and gas.

Xiao Kai has enough electricity, and he has also prepared a lot of bottled gas, so he is not worried about running out.

This is the outdoor shower method that Zhou Jianjun designed for him, which can use water from the vehicle's water tank or an external connection.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Xiao Kai would not use the water from the car's water tank if he didn't have to, since he was going to stay here for three more days, which is why he brought the water.

After thanking Xiao Kai again, the boy walked towards the shower tent. Soon, the sound of running water and rising steam could be heard from inside.

Seeing this, Xu Lili and Xu Qing felt relieved and began to observe Xiao Kai's car.

Upon observation, they discovered that Xiao Kai's car was far more complex and had far more features than they had imagined.

At the same time, Xiao Kai was no longer sleepy.

Before it got completely dark, he went to the back of the carriage to continue the dinner he hadn't finished earlier.

He cut the cleaned sea bass into chunks, marinated them with cooking wine and scallions, and then took out the other side dishes to start cooking.

As the gas stove roared to life, Xiao Kai began cooking.

For dinner tonight, Xiao Kai was very casual. Apart from a pan-fried sea bass, he only made a bowl of stir-fried eggs with green peppers.

Since it was outdoors and he had been busy all day, Xiao Kai didn't want to go through any trouble and finished it in a few seconds.

A fragrant aroma wafted over, immediately attracting the attention of Xu Lili and Xu Qing who were standing nearby.

Looking at the steaming hot dishes, and thinking about the unopened instant hot pot they had back home, the two of them found themselves drooling and hungry.

There's no way around it; without comparison, there's no harm done.

Compared to them, Xiao Kai didn't seem to be there to fish; he seemed more like he was there for a picnic.

They were more like fools who came to the wilderness to suffer.
