How do I know if there are any fish?

"Put the end with the innards in the seawater. When the fish takes the bait, you can feel the weight. Just pull it up quickly and accurately."

Sang Ning continued explaining the method with his hands moving non-stop. Elliott said "oh," moved his position slightly, and put the bait into the sea, beginning his first ever sea fishing trip.

Soon, Sang Ning's fishing rod was also finished.

So, the sea fishing trip became a two-person affair.

Emmanuel and Louis, who were paddling and steering the raft, watched anxiously, asking every now and then if there were any fish.

The truth is that sea fishing is not an activity that everyone can do well, and the most important thing is that the raft is moving.

Because Emmanuel and Louis were both fast and strong, and the raft was moving at a considerable speed, they didn't catch a single fish, though they ran out of bait several times.

After more than half an hour, Sang Ning, who had once again lost bait and failed to reel in a single fish, was the first to give up.

"I'm not fishing anymore, a fish basket is much more useful."

Elliott turned to look at her. "You need to be more patient."

"Failure is the mother of success; a temporary setback is nothing."

"Let's continue."

"I don't."

Sanning stubbornly refused, then stood up and asked Louis and Emmanuel, "Which of you wants to fish? I'll trade with you."

"I."

Louis had been eyeing sea fishing for a long time, and he thought the activity was quite interesting. Now that Sang Ning had offered to switch, he readily signaled to Sang Ning to come and take over his paddling duties.

Thus, Louis became the one who accompanied Elliott on his sea fishing trip, while Sannin became the one who accompanied Emmanuel on his boat trip.

Louis is truly the chosen one. While Suning and Elliott had been sitting for so long and changed their bait several times without catching a single fish, Louis pulled up a shimmering silver ribbonfish in less than ten minutes.

This is a very beautiful ribbonfish; it looks delicious and appetizing.

The audience was pleasantly surprised.

This fish looks so beautiful, is it edible?

Yes, you can see it. Just look at Sang Ning's expression. I saw obvious drooling in her eyes.

[The taste should be pretty good. By the way, how do you eat this kind of long, thin, wide fish? It looks a bit like the eel I had last time, but it's much prettier.]

Does the store sell this fish? To be honest, I'd like to try this delicious fish.

Staff from various shopping malls immediately stepped forward to make arrangements and asked everyone to wait patiently.

Meanwhile, Sang Ning was asking Louis and the others if they were interested in ribbonfish sashimi.

Louis and his companions answered that they were interested.

It wasn't just a little interest, it was an extremely, extremely interest.

So, Sanning had Elliott take over her rod and paddle with Emmanuel, Louis continued sea fishing, and she herself picked up a ribbonfish and made sashimi.

Not many people in Sangning's native world have eaten ribbonfish sashimi. It's not that they can't afford ribbonfish, but that ribbonfish, a type of sea fish, dies quickly after being taken out of the sea, so fishermen will freeze them as soon as they catch them.

The ribbonfish sold in the market are all frozen ribbonfish, which have a strong fishy smell and are not suitable for eating as sashimi.

Only fresh ribbonfish that have just been caught at sea are suitable for eating as sashimi, and fresh ribbonfish don't have such a strong fishy smell.

Sang Ning is not a professional chef, and she cannot slice ingredients so thinly that they are translucent and uniform in thickness like a professional chef. Her ribbonfish sashimi slices are uneven in thickness and not translucent, but they are still edible.

It tastes great with lemon juice or freshly made garlic chili sauce.

Sang Ning was very satisfied with the meal, as were Emmanuel and the others. As for the audience, as long as it wasn't Mu Tao and his group who prepared the food, they wouldn't be dissatisfied.

A ribbonfish brightened everyone's mood.

The ribbonfish weighed over a pound, but for four people, each person could only eat a few pieces. Elliott, who hadn't had enough, urged Louis, "Hurry up and catch a few more."

Louis, "..."

Louis, who wanted to throw him into the sea to feed the fish, retorted irritably, "Do you think I can just fish whenever I want...?"

As the pole sank, he instinctively gripped it and pulled back with incredible speed. The vine that had emerged from the water appeared right before everyone's eyes, carrying a shimmering silver ribbonfish.

"Holy crap, another ribbonfish actually came up."

Elliott was excited and praised, "Louis, you can do it!"

Louis chuckled, "You're too kind, you're too kind. I never imagined I would become the chosen one, it's unbelievable."

"Ningning, hurry up and cook this ribbonfish too."

He urged.

Sang Ning nodded and followed suit, turning the ribbonfish into sashimi as well.

Over the next period of time, Louis pulled up about twenty-two ribbonfish, as if he had stirred up a shoal of them.

Ribbonfish are difficult to preserve, and the raft has limited load-bearing capacity, so it's impossible to carry ice. Saltpeter was brought, but I've never heard of seawater being used to make ice.

As for the fresh water they brought, it's for drinking and shouldn't be used indiscriminately.

Therefore, without ice to chill these ribbonfish, the only way to preserve them is to eat them.

So the four of them finished off all twenty-two ribbonfish.

Sang Ning never wanted to eat ribbonfish sashimi again, but Emmanuel and the others accepted it well, finding it endlessly delicious.

After they finished eating, they asked Louis to catch a few more.

However, Louis the Chosen's power failed him, and for the rest of the time, he didn't catch a single ribbonfish, or even a single seaweed.

Sang Ning and the others didn't say anything, but the audience who were waiting for him to unleash his power as the chosen one again began to sigh.

[Oh dear, Louis's not doing well anymore. He was doing well for a short while, and now he's failing again.]

I was counting on him to keep stocking up so I could have a good meal, but he completely messed up. He's such a disappointment, this kid is just so hopeless.

[Hey kid? Excuse me, how old are you, upstairs?]

[76. Although I'm not very old, I'm a big fan of Louis XIV's career and a "mom" fan, so calling him "kid" is perfectly fine.]

That's true, but Louis might not want a stepmother or stepfather like you.

I don't care if he's happy or not, as long as I'm happy. Otherwise, why would I be a fan of him?

That makes sense, but Louis was speechless. "I'm a techie, I don't work in the entertainment industry. You don't need to be my fans. I don't sell products or do endorsements. The only mecha I make is a military product, which isn't allowed to circulate on the market. Why are you fans of me?"

The audience's answers were varied, with some saying they admired his talent, others his looks, and still others his shameless nature, leaving Louis speechless and rolling his eyes like there was no tomorrow.

Sang Ning and the others burst into laughter.
