Zhou Yi said worriedly, "Let me go down instead. You can rest. My diving skills are probably no worse than yours."

Chen Hong shook her head and smiled, "That's hard to say. I can dive for thirty minutes without any equipment. Can you do that?"

I have a special talent, and underwater fishing isn't just about diving skills; the most important things are eyesight and experience.

You don't know the underwater environment here. Even if these seafoods pass right in front of you, you won't recognize them or find them. You still don't have as much fishing and hunting experience as I do.

Don't worry, I'll be back in a bit. Just help me load the fish onto the boat and look after the kids.

After Chen Hong finished speaking, she turned around and dived back into the sea. Once in the sea, she was the queen.

Sea cucumbers, sea urchins, coconut snails, and scallops on the seabed beach, as long as they meet her size standards, are collected into her space and net bag respectively.

Feeling that the time was almost up, he would send the goods to the boat, rest for a while, and then go back into the water. He did this four or five times, and saw that the boat had already reaped a lot.

Chen Hong went into the sea again. This time, she used a net to dig abalone directly from the seabed. She was now used to scavenging fish on the seabed and didn't have much patience for fishing one by one on the boat anymore.

At the bottom of the sea, she tried to release a bucket of spatial water, and suddenly saw the surrounding sea fish rushing towards her as if they had smelled an aphrodisiac.

Chen Hong was setting up her net, selecting grouper, sea bream, bass, and golden drum fish that her family and guests liked to eat, and caught more than thirty of them.

She surfaced and called for Zhou Yi to bring the catch onto the boat, but this time she didn't get on. She rested by the gunwale for a while, waiting for Zhou Yi to empty the net for her. She left only one sentence before diving back into the sea.

"One last time, come up here and we're going home!"

After catching fifteen or sixteen large prawns and more than ten blue crabs on the seabed, and two large eels from the crevices of the rocks, Chen Hong finally floated to the surface, satisfied.

She tugged on the safety rope, letting Zhou Yi pull the fish from the net onto the boat. She followed suit, climbing onto the boat as well. Without even changing her clothes, she sat half-upright on the deck, panting and resting.

Actually, she wasn't tired at all, but it felt a little off if she didn't show any signs of being tired in front of Zhou Yi.

Although I wanted him to know that I was capable of fishing at sea on my own, I was also afraid of going too far and scaring him.

While resting, Chen Hong reminded Zhou Yi, "Put on your gloves, and when you're catching fish, cover the fish's eyes with a towel."

Be very careful; eels have very sharp teeth, and some of their fins are also sharp and can easily prick your hand. Please be extra cautious.

Zhou Yi glanced at her; she was panting heavily, yet still muttering to herself, "It's both funny and adorable."

"Don't worry, you're here to keep an eye on things. I'm not stupid; I recognize most fish. I'll make sure I get the job done for you. You should rest now!"

Chen Hong chuckled to herself, thinking that the performance was about over, so she got up and went back to her cabin to shower and change.

When she changed her clothes and returned to the deck, Zhou Yi had already arranged all the fish, shrimp, and crabs, and the sea urchins were placed in a large bucket.

Conch, shellfish, sea cucumber, and abalone were packed in a large tank, leaving only two large eels on the deck.

Zhou Yi asked Chen Hong, "Where should we put these two eels? If we put them in the live fish hold, won't they eat other fish? I think these two eels are quite ferocious!"

Chen Hong went back to the cabin to get a small bucket, put on gloves, put the two eels into the bucket, and demonstrated to Zhou Yi as she spoke.

"Catching an eel is similar to catching a snake. You need to hold it by the neck with one hand and the waist with the other to control it and avoid being bitten."

Look how plump these two eels are! I'll make you eel rice tomorrow; eel rice made with eels like these is the best.

Yu Yang chimed in from the side, "Mom, we haven't had eel rice in a long time, I want to eat it too."

Chen Hong laughed and said, "Why didn't you say you wanted to eat them sooner? If you had said so earlier, I would have saved a few of the eels I caught before, and you would have been able to eat your fill!"

Yu Yang said shyly, "I only remembered to eat eel rice when I saw the fat eel. My mom's cooking is usually very delicious."

After cleaning the deck, Chen Hong checked her phone. "It's already six o'clock. Let's go home. It's getting late. We need to sell the fish and cook dinner."

Zhou Yi and Yu Yang both agreed to go home now, and the two began packing up the fishing rods and gear on the boat. They packed everything up and moved it into the storage room.

Yu Yang said pitifully, "Mom, I didn't catch a single fish this time. Did I come back empty-handed?"

Chen Hong chuckled, "It's alright, today's time was too short, and besides, you haven't really learned how to fish yet!"

Once you learn how to fish, you'll have a "newbie aura" and won't have to worry about going home empty-handed or not catching any fish.

Zhou Yi said to Chen Hong, "I'll start the boat when we get back. You can rest for a while!"

Chen Hong: "I need a license to operate this boat. Do you have a captain's license?"
