This place is nothing like those deserted islands in the waters off Fujia Village. Before Fu Wan and her crew's boat even stopped, she could see a few scattered houses in the distance.
It looks like there are islanders living here.
"Wan, let's buy some things first, then go fishing later!"
As soon as Fu Wan brought the boat to a stop, Jack couldn't wait to run ashore.
This place already has the beginnings of the tourism industry that would later take shape, with many vendors sitting nearby selling things under large umbrellas.
Jack only realized after boarding the boat that he hadn't bought any food. It would be very boring to just fish all afternoon on the boat.
Besides the small vendors, there is also a small convenience store not far away.
After Fu Wan locked the boat, she nodded to Bai Qianzhou, who was waiting to the side:
"Let's go check out the shops over there!"
She had eaten quite a lot at noon, but perhaps because of the exertion of cycling and boating, she suddenly felt thirsty when she saw the coconuts on the vendor's table next to her.
When you're out having fun, you should act like you're out having fun. Bai Qianzhou was still carrying their fishing rods in his hand. There was no other way; he was afraid that someone would try to buy them for free if he left them on the boat.
Things on the island are naturally much more expensive than outside. After looking around, Fu Wan bought two bags of potato chips and a few bottles of mineral water.
The snacks in the United States are not as plentiful as those in China, and the small shops mainly sell fishing and beachcombing tools.
When they came out of the store, Jack was also carrying several coconuts, his arms full.
What surprised Fu Wan even more was that this guy was actually holding a big watermelon!
"Jack, where did you buy this watermelon?"
Jack chuckled, his face full of smugness.
"I bought it over there. I've had your watermelons in China before, and they were sweet. Come here and try our watermelons."
Fu Wan sighed helplessly. After spending more time with him, she finally understood why Fu Fengying said he was a good boy.
Bai Qianzhou couldn't help but ask, "How much is this watermelon?"
"10 dollars."
Good heavens, three times the exchange rate, that's thirty yuan!
Fu Wan clicked her tongue and shook her head. Thirty yuan could buy several truckloads of watermelons in their village.
It's even prettier than this one.
The items couldn't be returned, and since Jack had paid for them, he wouldn't be happy to return them.
Just as the group was about to load their things onto the boat, Jack thought for a moment and then asked Fu Wan, "Wan, do you want to play around on the island?"
"There are too many people here, it might not be a good place to fish?"
Actually, Fu Wan really wanted to stay here a while, because the scenery was so beautiful that she was reluctant to leave.
Jack smiled mysteriously upon hearing this, "Come with me, I know a place where no one is around."
The island was large, and this wasn't Jack's first time here. He led Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou toward a less crowded area where the trees were towering, mostly tall and straight palm trees.
The further you go, the fewer people there are; not only are there fewer people, but even the roads become irregular.
Jack stopped when he reached a wooden sign.
"This is it. It's quiet here, not many people around, let's fish here!"
After saying that, he also made a disdainful remark about the fishermen who had just been fishing in a crowded place.
With more people than fish, it's no wonder the market crashes!
He was different; he discovered this auspicious land very early on.
Fu Wan was also very satisfied with this place, as there were many trees behind it that provided shade from the sun.
A sea breeze blows from time to time, making it very cool.
Once they arrived at the location, they naturally began fishing. Fu Wan picked out a fishing rod that looked relatively pleasing to the eye, attached the hook, and then randomly chose a piece of sardine to hook onto it.
Of course, she hadn't forgotten to prepare the nest beforehand, which shocked Jack, who was watching from the sidelines.
Good heavens, no one told him to bait the spot! He said that the Chinese must have some magical martial arts, no, fishing secrets!
He'd better learn this time, and then show off his skills to amaze those fishing buddies!
Jack was busy making his own plans, but Fu Wan didn't pay much attention. After casting her fishing rod, she took off her gloves and opened a bottle of mineral water.
Bai Qianzhou was originally going to do it for her, but seeing that there was no place for her to use her skills, she simply followed Fu Wan's example, found a clean rock to stand on, and cast her fishing rod out.
Fishing is a long and tedious activity. Some people can endure the loneliness and wait for hours with one fishing rod, while others can't wait and get impatient if they don't catch a fish after ten minutes.
Fu Wan gulped down half a bottle of water. Just as she put the bottle down and straightened up, the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sank.
Wow, a fish has been caught!
She quickly gripped the fishing rod with both hands, and then began to reel in the line with one hand.
"Oh God, Wan, you've caught a fish!"
Jack excitedly moved closer to Fu Wan. He quickly glanced at his watch. Damn God, less than ten minutes had passed and Fu Wan had already caught a fish.
Is this the magical power of the East?
Jack began to question his existence, but Fu Wan had no time to pay attention to him. The fishing line at the end of her fishing rod was taut, indicating that it was a fish with considerable strength.
"Ah Wan, do you need any help?"
Bai Qianzhou's attention was also on Fu Wan, who shook her head slightly, "No need, I can manage on my own."
Just kidding, she must have gone at least a week and a half without touching a fishing rod; the pull of the fish was like a stimulant for her.
Having been an experienced fisherman for some time, Fu Wan pulled the fish up in less than ten minutes.
Jack, who was already waiting with a net, immediately scooped up the fish as soon as they surfaced.
"A big fish! A really big fish!"
Fu Wan swept the fish through the net and immediately recognized its species.
Red sea bream!
It's a red sea bream that should weigh two or three pounds.
"Oh God, this fish is so nice!"
Jack scooped the fish up; it was the first time he had ever seen such a large and beautiful red sea bream while fishing.
Damn it, why didn't I fish it out myself!
Jack was so envious his eyes were practically the same color as the red snapper. He had eaten this fish at a seafood restaurant, and the sashimi tasted quite good.
Looks like we're having a big dinner tonight.
"Alright, hurry up and put it in the fish tank!"
The red sea bream was also half-dead at this moment. The long struggle and lack of oxygen had left it barely moving.
Upon hearing this, Jack hurriedly opened the fish tanks behind him. They had prepared three fish tanks this time, one for raising fish in seawater and two for holding ice.
Jack placed the red sea bream into the fish tank filled with seawater. Sensing the presence of the seawater, the sea bream regained some vitality.
"No way, I want to catch a fish that big too!"
Jack muttered a couple of things to himself, then pulled his fishing line back and baited the hook again. However, as he cast the hook out with force, he suddenly heard a noise behind him.
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou also heard the commotion at this moment, and the three of them looked behind them at the same time.
Unexpectedly, a brownish-yellow figure appeared next to the fish tank, carrying the sea bream in its mouth, and darted away at lightning speed.
