The fishing boat has been prepared and will be ready to go in three days.
Zheng Gan had originally planned to take advantage of the time when the boat was being modified to go out fishing or diving to earn some money, but it rained for three consecutive days, forcing him to stay at home and unable to go anywhere.
What a coincidence, the weather cleared up and the boat was repaired.
"Well, this is God's blessing to us. Let's go, pack up and go out for some fishing." Zheng Gan said. He hadn't been out for three days and his whole body felt like it was rusted. He felt uncomfortable everywhere.
"Let's go, let's go. We finally have our own boat." Lin Hao couldn't wait any longer.
After the two men inspected and accepted the ship at the shipyard, they settled the cost of modifying the ship and called a tanker truck to fill the ship with fuel.
After everything was ready, Zheng Gan stood at the bow in high spirits. Just as he was about to inform Lin Hao to set sail, he was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.
"How did Uncle Gao have time to call me?"
"Today happens to be the weekend. I've been thinking about it and since I have nothing to do, I decided to come and see the dowry your father-in-law gave you." Mayor Gao joked on the phone.
Zheng Gan was embarrassed when he heard this. Besides, if you want to go fishing, just say it directly. Why do you have to expose other people's scars? It's really annoying.
Although he thought so in his heart, he pretended to be happy and said, "I just happened to be going out to sea today and hadn't had time to call you yet. It just so happened that you called me. I would like to trouble you to give me some guidance."
"You kid, you can even say such compliments now. Wait, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Gan informed Lin Hao that Mayor Gao would come over soon to go fishing with them and they would leave later.
"Brother, this Mayor Gao is really interesting. Such a high-ranking leader likes fishing so much, and he needs you to accompany him." Lin Hao was quite puzzled.
"You know shit. He knows we won't beg him, so he's willing to come and play. If it were a big boss who begged him, believe it or not, he would even hire divers to go down and fish for Mayor Gao on the spot." Zheng Gan explained. Anyway, that's what he thought.
And no matter what the reason is, if the mayor asks you to accompany him to go fishing, would you dare not go?
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Mayor Gao and his assistant arrived at the dock of the shipyard. Zheng Gan was there to greet them. Right from the start, he made a rather large joke.
"Uncle Gao, why didn't you bring Brother Zhao here today to applaud you?"
It was obvious that Zheng Gan was seeking revenge.
Mayor Gao's face darkened when he heard this. "Having Xiao Zhao here is too much of a hindrance. It doesn't matter whether he's here or not. A contestant of that caliber isn't worthy of going out with us."
On the other side, Zhao Xing at home sneezed several times in a row and was a little confused. He thought he had a cold, so he quickly found some cold medicine and took it.
"Haha, no more jokes, Uncle Gao, let's get on the boat. Today is the first time we use this boat to go fishing." Zheng laughed dryly.
In fact, according to custom, a ceremony must be held when a new ship goes out to sea. However, this time it is just a test, so there is still time to hold a ceremony when the ship goes out to sea for real next time.
"Yeah, good, good, this ship is really good. You have to work hard in the future and don't let your father-in-law down." Mayor Gao looked at the ship and praised it a few times. However, he was indeed optimistic about Zheng Gan. Although there was no guarantee that he would be able to build a business empire in the future, he should have no problem becoming a rich man.
Zheng Gan is quite confident about this. In fact, he just wants to be an ordinary person without the pressure of life and let the people closest to him live a good life. Forget about being a wealthy business empire or something like that. It's too troublesome.
"Uncle Gao, let's go fishing somewhere a little further away today. There may not be so many good catches in the surrounding waters." Zheng Gan talked about today's itinerary.
Before Mayor Gao could say anything, the assistant beside him started to get anxious. "It's not good to go too far. The sea is not land. What if..."
Zheng Gan reacted instantly after hearing what he said, "Ah, right, right, it's my fault. Why don't we just fish around here?"
"Let's go fishing somewhere farther away. It's boring to fish nearby." Mayor Gao glared at the assistant. It was a rare day to have such a leisurely one, so shouldn't he enjoy it?
Zheng Gan could only look at the worried young assistant awkwardly. This was his own problem. He had not considered the safety aspect and now he had implicated the young assistant.
"Hurry up, don't waste time, set sail! I can already feel the fish in the sea calling me!" Mayor Gao successfully entered the fishing man mode, and his IQ was successfully offline.
"Okay." Zheng Gan had no choice but to inform Lin Hao to start the boat and continue according to the previous plan.
The boat took more than two hours to reach the destination. It didn't go very far. The little assistant's red eyes made Zheng Gan a little panicked. However, the map showed that the number and size of red dots in this area were also very impressive, which should be enough for Mayor Gao to satisfy his curiosity.
"Let's get started. Today I will conquer this sea." Mayor Gao couldn't wait to cast his rod. He didn't use the electric reel because he said it was not satisfying.
Regardless of whether Zheng Gan and Lin Hao enjoyed it or not, they both chose to use electric reels, which could save a lot of energy and allow them to catch more fish.
As expected, Mayor Gao caught five fish in half an hour. The largest one weighed ten kilograms, and the smallest one weighed three or four kilograms. However, after fighting for half an hour, he began to run out of strength.
It's normal. For a middle-aged man in his fifties, it's already good enough to be able to persist on the sea for half an hour.
"Brother, it's almost done, shall we start?" Lin Hao said as he began to put away the rod and prepare to put bait again.
Zheng Gan nodded and agreed.
The two of them came here to test the electric reel today, so they used to catch some bait fish in the previous half hour. They had to use some real stuff, otherwise it would be difficult to catch big fish.
These bait fish were all freshly caught, and they were all of decent size, with the big ones weighing as much as six or seven kilograms. Using bait fish of this weight made Mayor Gao feel a pang of pain. You know, before he met Zheng Gan, catching a fish weighing five or six kilograms could make him happy for a long time, but to him, it was just bait.
After tying the bait, Zheng Gan and Lin Hao threw the rod out and asked Lin Hao to drive the boat. Under his guidance, they began to lure those big red spots.
It is easier to catch big fish in this way. After just over ten minutes, Zheng Gan felt a heavy sensation on his fishing rod.
"Here comes the big stuff, Haozi, slow down a little!"
