Reborn and Divorced: I'm Raising My Kids and Lying Low to Get Rich

Opening her eyes, Chen Hong was reborn. She was reborn just before she was about to take her children back to her parents' home. Not wanting to live a life of looking at others' faces for a...

Chapter 131 Fish are picky eaters

Chen Hong rolled her eyes at him. "I told you you've been thinking too much lately. The three of us are using the same bait. The fish in the sea aren't stupid, how could they tell who's who?"

Perhaps there aren't any fish near your fishing rod yet. Fishing requires patience; wait a while, and when a fish swims closer to your hook, it will take the bait and get hooked.

Chen Hong glanced at the area near Yu Yang's fishing hook and couldn't help but chuckle to herself. It was really strange; there wasn't a single fish near Yu Yang's fishing hook.

It's also possible that the other person is too restless and fidgets, so the fish won't bite.

It's also possible that he only fished in the upper water layer. Nowadays, most fish live in the middle water layer, where there is food below, and no fish swim to the upper water layer to compete for food.

While they were talking, Zhou Yi also caught a red sea bream. The fish weighed about two pounds, with a light red body and scales that shimmered in the sunlight, making it particularly beautiful.

Yu Yang saw this and was very envious. He twisted and turned, unable to sit still any longer.

Chen Hong didn't bother him. If he didn't catch any fish for a long time, he would understand the consequences of moving around too much. After that, he would be more patient when fishing.

Zhou Yi took the gloves Chen Hong handed him and asked her to hold the fishing rod for him. He quickly put on the gloves and took the fishing rod.

As if afraid Chen Hong would steal his fun of catching fish, Chen Hong shook her head with amusement, thinking this guy was getting more and more childish. She picked up the landing net next to her and scooped the fish up for him.

Chen Hong handed the fish controller to Zhou Yi, letting him untangle the fish himself, and then returned to her fishing spot to fish diligently.

As soon as she sat down, Chen Hong saw that her fishing hook had caught a red longtail snapper. Chen Hong quickly hooked the fish and reeled it in.

In no time, they pulled the five-pound longtail snapper out of the water, picked up a landing net, and scooped it onto the deck.

Zhou Yi and Yu Yang were stunned by Chen Hong's swift and efficient actions.

Zhou Yi, in particular, looked at Chen Hong's thin arms and delicate wrists and could hardly believe his eyes.

Did Chen Hong just use one hand to scoop this big fish, weighing about five pounds, onto the fishing boat? That's incredible! With the net and the fish, it must weigh at least ten pounds!

Unexpectedly, Chen Hong deftly completed the fish-scooping action with one hand. Zhou Yi had no idea how much strength was contained in Chen Hong's slender arm!

Chen Hong didn't care about Zhou Yi's scrutiny. Since she had already decided to date him, she would gradually let him know about her special qualities.

As long as the biggest secret of the space is not exposed, it doesn't matter if Zhou Yi knows some of the other things.

There are plenty of strong people in the world, she's not the only one, so it's not that surprising. He'll get used to it eventually and accept it with a normal attitude.

Yu Yangyu stopped fishing and squatted down next to this longtail snapper, very excited, "Mom, this fish is so beautiful."

"Look how bright red its back is, how beautiful it is! Its belly is pink, and its tail is so long! This fish is so pretty! Why don't we stop selling it and keep it as a pet?"

Chen Hong told her son, "There are many beautiful fish in the sea, but we can't just raise any pretty one. This fish is too big and difficult to raise."

It would be such a shame if it died. This fish is called a longtail snapper, also known as a ruby ​​snapper, or sometimes a red-tailed bird. Aren't the names lovely?

Its flesh is exceptionally tender and delicious, making it especially tasty as sashimi. It's quite valuable, fetching two to three hundred yuan per pound; this fish alone would sell for over a thousand yuan.

Yu Yang was extremely surprised. "Then let's not keep them. It would be a pity if they died. Losing more than a thousand yuan would be too wasteful. Let's just sell them."

Then, he said to Yang, "Xiao Bao, are you still going to fish? Mom and Uncle Yu have already caught fish, and you're the only one who hasn't caught any yet!"

Yu Yang scratched his head in distress, "These fish are probably taking advantage of me because I'm a kid. They just won't take my bait. I've checked several times, and the bait is still hanging on the hook perfectly fine!"

The fish are picky eaters and won't eat, there's nothing I can do. Anyway, I have bait on my hook, so I'll just let them eat whenever they want. There's no use in worrying!"

Chen Hong: What you said makes so much sense!

These words left Chen Hong speechless. "Yes, you're right. Mom shouldn't have worried about you."

Chen Hong watched as the fish in the water gathered more and more, and soon caught another black sea bream with this cast.

This fish is quite big, weighing three pounds. One fish can sell for over a hundred yuan.

Chen Hong untied the fish and threw it into the live fish hold. She immediately changed the hooks, baiting the hooks as she spoke to Zhou Yi.

"I think the bait is working. There should be quite a few fish in the water now. Do you want to switch to a multi-hook rig?"

Zhou Yi was somewhat bewildered. "What kind of hook? Let me see how you made it."

Although he had fished before, his main purpose was to keep his father company and make him happy.

I haven't paid much attention to fishing rods and gear, so I don't really know much about them.

Looking back, Chen Hong was operating the hook. "Oh, I see. It's just several hooks strung together. If you hoist it up like this, it's not called a continuous rod, is it?"

Chen Hong nodded, "That's right. Catching several fish at once is called 'multiple catches.' For example, catching two fish is called 'double catch,' and catching three fish is called 'triple catch.'"

This fishing method is used when fish are in dense schools, allowing you to catch more fish before they disperse.

As she spoke, Chen Hong cast her fishing hook into the sea. Soon after the fish entered the water, her fishing rod stirred; a fish had already taken the bait.

Chen Hong stared intently at the sea, and seeing that two more fish had taken the bait, she didn't wait any longer. She suddenly lifted the rod to hook the fish and vigorously shook the fishing reel.
