No Fish

In the early morning, black clouds obscured the sky and the muggy air shrouded the workers of the Qin family fish farm as they lifted their heads, looking out at the sky and lake as they drove the feeding boat.

"Looks like it's going to rain. Let's get this done quickly then head back."

"En. The boss says he wants to eat fish. Let's catch a big red drum and leave."

The workers operated the feed machine, casting fish food all around.

To their surprise, they had operated the machine for some minutes now, yet only a few fish came over to eat, and they were mostly all smaller fish less than one catty in size.

"What's happening? It's raining soon and the weather isn't or stuffy. Fish shouldn't be hiding at the bottom of the lake. Why're no fish coming out to eat?" asked one of the middle-aged men with a frown. "Old Song, let's go a bit further in."

"Okay."
