Oh my god!
Robert exclaimed, "My God, it's tuna again!"
Before the exclamations had even subsided, Jack turned and shouted at Bai Qianzhou, "Bai, Bai! Help!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianzhou picked up his fishing hook and went over, catching another small yellowfin tuna.
"Haha, I have tuna too!"
Jack laughed loudly, and sure enough, he had to drag Fu Wan out to sea to fish.
Today was an incredible day!
He caught a tuna!
Although it's a yellowfin lance, it's still a lance at least!
This scene made Robert and his friends envious; they wanted such a beautiful tuna too.
"Jack, are our three tuna exceeding the limit?"
Seeing Jack pick up the knife and start bleeding, Fu Wan became worried.
If you're not allowed to take the fish you finally managed to catch home, or if you're fined for taking it home, then it won't be worth it.
Jack smiled and shook his head. "It doesn't exceed the regulations. This fish is the right size and can be taken back."
To be honest, it's been a long time since anyone in this town has caught a bluefin tuna, since bluefin tuna are most active in the hot month of July.
When Fu Wan first announced that she was going to fish for bluefin tuna, Jack took it all as just empty talk to boost morale.
I didn't expect this woman to keep her word. She said she would bring out a bluefin lance, but what came out was not a yellowfin lance!
Thinking about it this way, Jack's admiration for Fu Wan reached a new level, and he immediately wished he could follow Fu Wan's lead.
With three tuna hanging in front of them, Robert, Tom, and the other two immediately became incredibly energetic.
Pete was the most cunning of them all. He silently took most of the bait that Jack had taken earlier and secretly put it into the bucket in front of him.
Tom was the first to notice Pete's actions, but instead of shouting, he rolled his blue eyes and grabbed a handful of food from the bucket in front of him.
So when Robert finally managed to pull up a grouper and was about to change the bait, he discovered that there were only two small pieces of mackerel bait left in the bait bucket.
"Fuck, fuck!"
What an animal! It actually took all the bait!
Robert immediately hurled the swear words he had ever learned at Tom and Pete, and the two of them, unusually, both became cowards.
Let them insult me, but they want bait? That's impossible.
Robert's foul language failed to awaken his teammates' conscience, and those two bastards were guarding the bait bucket tightly. Helpless, he could only look at Fu Wan with a forced smile.
"Hey, pretty lady, could you give me some more bait?"
Fu Wan was originally navigating the boat at a low speed to make it easier for Bai Qianzhou and Jack to fish, but of course, she didn't miss the big show on the boat next to her.
After all, Robert's profanity was so loud that it was impossible for anyone not to notice.
The bait we just used was exchanged for a lot of snacks, and now if we want more bait, that will cost extra.
Under Robert's expectant gaze, Fu Wan feigned a troubled expression.
"Sorry Robert, we're running low on mackerel bait here."
After saying that, she winked at Bai Qianzhou, signaling him to show the bait bucket to Robert.
Bai Qianzhou received Fu Wan's signal, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He deliberately showed Robert the bucket with the most fish bait next to him.
"Sigh, we're really running out of bait!"
The distance between the two boats had narrowed considerably by this time. Robert, bracing himself against the side of his boat, looked toward Bai Qianzhou. When he saw the bait in the bucket, his face was filled with disbelief.
Dude, are you serious? There's more bait in this bucket than all three of them on the boat combined.
However, he was a sensible young man, and immediately expressed his loyalty to Fu Wan.
"Beautiful lady, I'm willing to trade money or anything else for your bait, as long as I have it!"
Fu Wan was waiting for those words. She had plenty of money, but there was something about Robert that had just flashed through her mind and that she really wanted.
"I'll give you fish bait, but give me two more pounds of your strawberries. Forget it, I don't want the strawberries. Give me two pounds of strawberry seeds and instructions on how to grow strawberries."
While eating strawberries, Fu Wan naturally thought of her children at home and Ye Xiaocui and the others.
Strawberries are such a rare fruit that most Chinese people have never even heard of them, let alone eaten them.
They ate mostly wild raspberries from the mountains and sea grapes from the sea.
Bringing strawberries back with you is absolutely impossible. Strawberries are delicate fruits; if you transport them back over such a long distance, they'd probably just rot into a pile of mud.
Moreover, their main mission in the United States was in Florida; Los Angeles was merely a pretext to obscure their true intentions.
The mission isn't finished yet, how could I possibly bring strawberries back?
Therefore, if we can bring back strawberry seeds and planting techniques, it will definitely help strawberry planting technology in China.
As for customs, these things aren't strictly checked right now.
Robert was prepared to pay up, and Fu Wan had a sharp eye; he was the wealthiest of the three.
So now they're offering strawberry seeds instead of money?
What is this all about? Robert still has the ancestral arrogance of a beautiful countryman, and immediately felt that even if he gave Fu Wan the seeds and technology, she might not be able to grow them.
"Okay, I'll bring the things over to you when I get back."
And so a bizarre deal was struck. Seeing this, Bai Qianzhou stopped letting Robert see but not touch the bait and generously gave him the whole bucket.
Having bait wasn't enough; Fu Wan was also afraid that this unlucky guy would waste all that bait, so she simply started teaching him how to fish for tuna.
Having had several experiences fishing for tuna, Fu Wan would sometimes review her fishing trips when she was bored, and surprisingly, she actually figured out a pattern.
Tuna are particularly cunning carnivorous fish. If the boat and the bait are too close, larger tuna generally won't fall for it.
Therefore, when fishing for tuna, the boat must be in motion, and you must be willing to let out the fishing line. Sometimes the bait is two or three hundred meters away from the boat.
Moreover, whether you're fishing for tuna or other fish, you must keep your attention on the fishing rod. As soon as the line becomes taut, the rod will immediately transmit the signal.
This allows anglers to judge the size of fish by the feel of the fishing line being pulled by the fishing rod.
As Fu Wan spoke, Bai Qianzhou translated. Robert had been listening casually, but when Fu Wan mentioned the distance of the fishing line, he became serious.
Not only that, Jack Tom and Pete next to them also pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
Robert belatedly realized that the tuition he paid for private instruction had been used by someone else to attend his classes, and he immediately started arguing with Jack and the others again.
Despite their bickering, with little time left, they quickly followed Fu Wan's advice and began to play the long game.
