Seeing that Fu Wan didn't speak, Robert became a little anxious.
“Beautiful lady, we also have some rare strawberries here. If you take us fishing, all of them are yours!”
Robert gritted his teeth and pulled out a lunchbox from the bag next to him, which was filled to the brim with bright red strawberries.
This is a rare item; it's still quite common in modern China, even in later generations.
Jack felt inexplicably pleased as he watched them vying to please Fu Wan.
"Wan, why don't we help them? They're all unlucky guys who can't catch any fish, their fish tanks must be empty!"
It has to be said, Jack was right. Fu Wan found it somewhat amusing and turned to ask Jack.
Aren't you angry that they insulted you before?
Jack shook his head upon hearing this, then grinned.
"Sometimes they are still good kids, but failing to catch fish can turn them into terrible beasts."
After speaking, Jack sorted out his thoughts and began to tell Fu Wan about his past experiences.
When he first started fishing, he had no experience and wasn't wearing a life jacket. At that time, his swimming skills were average. Once, he accidentally fell into the sea, and it was Pete and a few others who worked together to rescue him.
But because Jack was focused on fishing and didn't want to join them in eating, drinking, and having fun, and because he had already started working after returning, he gradually became estranged from his college friends, and eventually their relationship deteriorated to the point where they would bicker whenever they met.
To put it simply, those people on the other side weren't bad; they were just a bit annoying.
Upon hearing Jack's words, not only was Fu Wan speechless, but even Bai Qianzhou, who had stopped the boat and come over to check the situation, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
What an oddball group they are!
"No, they were cursing so vehemently just now. Even if we take them fishing, we have to apologize first."
Fu Wan is a woman of principle. She couldn't let those guys, especially Robert and Tom, get away with such vulgar insults.
Upon hearing Fu Wan's words, Jack conveyed her message to Tom and Robert. The two young men blushed slightly, as apologizing would be too embarrassing.
But when they saw the bluefin tuna that Jack was carrying, Tom and the others couldn't help but feel envious.
"We're so sorry! We had such bad mouths, please forgive our rudeness!"
Tom was the first to call out to Fu Wan, and after apologizing, he solemnly bowed to her.
Seeing this, Robert and Pete followed suit, and Fu Wan, seeing that they weren't lying, simply forgave them.
“A good boy is one who admits his mistakes and corrects them. Jack, share some of our bait with them.”
They had only cut two mackerel baits, but there were still a few mackerel in the fish tank that they hadn't had time to cut.
There was even squid that had been prepared beforehand, which is also a favorite of tuna.
Jack, not one to be stingy, grabbed two handfuls of bait and threw them into their bucket.
This was the first time these people had ever seen such bait, and they immediately frantically skewered it and threw it out.
Of course, Fu Wan did not refuse the snacks they offered as a gesture of surrender.
It would be foolish not to take what they have, and besides, she had never seen these things they were holding before.
It looked a bit like potato chips. When she got it back, Jack told her it was spicy grilled cheese tortilla chips. Fu Wan took a piece and tasted it. It was a little sweet and had a slight spiciness.
This is a popular local dish. It uses tortilla chips as a base, then adds cheese and some meat sauce, mixes them together, and bakes them in the oven until crispy.
The corn chips tasted a bit like potato chips, but were crispier. Fu Wan tried two chips and found them a bit dry, so she picked up a strawberry and popped it into her mouth.
The strawberries at this time of year are not very big, but the flavor is very strong.
"Bai Qianzhou, try this."
Good things should be shared. Fu Wan gave two strawberries to Bai Qianzhou to try. Jack also liked them, but after eating one, he waved his hand and refused to eat any more.
"These strawberries must be from Robert's farm. They grow a lot of things on their farm and also raise some sheep."
Now that you put it that way, Fu Wan understood. Fruit isn't cheap in the US, so it's understandable that she grew it herself, since it's such a big box.
The bento box contained about twenty or thirty strawberries, and Fu Wan kept most of them, planning to give them to Fu Fengying to try when she got home that evening.
Tom and his friends changed their bait and started fishing from their boat.
Fu Wan had already caught a bluefin tuna, and Jack was extremely envious.
After putting the tuna into the fish box, he cast his fishing rod again. Fu Wan had her fill of fishing and decided to go over and take over from Bai Qianzhou.
"I'll steer the boat, you go fishing!"
Compared to the thrill of fishing, sailing is undoubtedly much more boring and tedious.
Bai Qianzhou initially wanted to refuse, but seeing that Fu Wan had already put away her fishing rod, he followed her advice.
"Oh my god, oh my god!"
Just as Fu Wan adjusted her direction, Tom's scream came from not far away. Fu Wan looked over and saw that his fishing rod had also bent down.
Wow, the fish are catching fish so fast?
Robert was equally shocked. My God, there really were fish!
Could there really be some mysterious Eastern power?
The foreigner's gaze towards Fu Wan suddenly became much more devout, as if he wished he could go back and worship Fu Wan.
Although Tom had been fishing for a long time, his fish-playing skills were only average. In comparison, Pete's skills were much better. Tom's body turned red after playing the fish for a short while. To prevent the fish from escaping, Pete quickly took over the fishing rod.
The three of them struggled with the fish for half an hour before Fu Wan could finally see what the fish really looked like.
It turned out to be a one-meter-long Gt, also known as a bullhead trevally.
Although the fish wasn't very tasty and was far less valuable than bluefin tuna, Robert and his two companions were practically laughing hysterically.
"Wow, the mysterious power of the East!"
Such a big fish, they'll brag about it for a year when they get back!
Robert and his friends were very smug, which made Jack extremely envious. However, not long after, his fishing rod also made a sound.
Not only that, the fishing line on Bai Qianzhou's fishing rod was also quickly straightened.
Two fish were on the same boat, and Bai Qianzhou and Jack quickly and tacitly moved away from each other.
Before the fish is pulled up, it will dart around frantically in an attempt to survive, which may cause it to get tangled with the fishing line, allowing it to break free and escape.
Although Fu Wan was steering the boat, she was also keeping an eye on their movements. Seeing that the fish was about to be pulled out of the water, she simply stopped the boat and waited with a fishing hook.
"Ah Wan, you take the fishing rod, I'll hook the fish."
Bai Qianzhou called out softly to Fu Wan, "Once the fish is hooked, quickly pull it onto the boat. This will take a lot of strength."
Compared to the already tired fish, holding a fishing rod is much easier.
Fu Wan didn't refuse. Bai Qianzhou's fish was right in front of him. He took the fishing hook and pulled, and a yellowfin tuna leaped out of the water.
