In the end, Su Xiaowan and the others had no other choice but to go along for the experience. After all, they were out for fun, and it made sense to join in everyone's excitement.
By the time Su Xiaowan and her gang arrived, many people had already stationed themselves on the frozen river.
Experienced fishermen were searching for their fishing holes, that is, the locations of the fish schools.
Once they found a spot, they would set up flags around it, drill holes, thread rods, and cast their nets.
Cousins like Song Yonghui and Lu Yuanhua were observing from the sidelines.
The fishermen knew that these city folks wouldn't try to muscle in on their trade, and also they could potentially be big customers, so they were not secretive about anything.
Even if they explained to these novices, they wouldn't necessarily understand.
So, the fishermen explained to everyone that it is vital to pick the right fishing hole, as this determines the day's catch.
