You have no idea how Bai Yu got through the entire afternoon; it was so tough for him!
From around noon until around 5 p.m., Bai Yu fished on the deck for more than four hours.
From the moment he caught his first ribbonfish, he only rested for about ten minutes. The rest of the time he was fishing, truly fishing, rather than just leaving the fishing rod there waiting for fish to bite.
In more than four hours, he caught at least a hundred fish, averaging about twenty per hour.
After such intense fishing, when he packed up his line at 5 p.m., he had only one feeling: his right hand was so sore he could barely lift it!
However, in today's society, as long as you put in the effort, you will be rewarded.
In addition to the hundreds of fish he caught, Bai Yu was rewarded by the sea. He finally caught the bluefin wrasse he had been longing for, and it was a big bluefin wrasse weighing more than ten pounds.
The soreness in Bai Yu's arms was largely caused by this.
When they packed up their fishing rods at five o'clock, it wasn't that Bai Yu was preparing to cook dinner, but rather that they were getting ready to go ashore!
This island is the nameless little island right in front of them!
Although Bai Yu and his fishing boat couldn't get close to the island, they could use a rubber boat to board it, a suggestion made by a fishing boat nearby.
The other party planned to have a picnic on the island, and then asked the fishermen on other boats around for their opinions. A total of four boats responded and prepared to go to the island together.
Bai Yu and his crew's fishing boat was too small to carry an inflatable boat, so the inflatable boat was provided by another vessel.
All anglers are one family!
As darkness fell, the area around the small island remained as bright as day.
It was as bright as day; more than a dozen boats were moored around the island, and the lights on those boats were enough to illuminate one side of the island.
At this moment, Bai Yu was standing in front of a large barbecue grill. He and another uncle were each in charge of half of the grill and were working hard to prepare the barbecue.
Since the plan was to have a picnic on the island, many dishes couldn't be prepared, such as braised mackerel, as there were no gas stoves on the island and the portable gas stoves provided by each boat were limited.
In this situation, Bai Yu decisively chose to give up making braised mackerel and instead came to help at the barbecue grill.
More than half of the skewers on the barbecue grill are provided by them, such as chicken cartilage skewers, tenderloin, and pork belly, which are mostly enjoyed by the kids.
They had originally planned to make skewers on the boat, and he had even bought the hot pot seasonings. But since they were having a picnic tonight, Bai Yu decided to contribute the skewers.
There are currently more than forty people on the island. In addition to Bai Yu and his group of seven, there are more than ten people from the other three boats. They are all in groups, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to charter boats to go fishing.
These people have one thing in common: they are relatively old, very generous and easygoing, and quite casual about food and drink. What they value most is the atmosphere.
Of Bai Yu's group of seven, only his second uncle and younger uncle could connect with the other party; there was a generation gap between them and Bai Yu.
So, during the cooking process, Bai Yu and the others actively chose to help with the cooking, and absolutely refused to chat with these old guys.
Because these people will ask about Bai Yu and the others' grades!
Heaven knows, Bai Yu and the others are already in college, and they're already out at sea and no longer on land, yet they still get asked about their grades, and by a bunch of fishermen they've just met!
"Uncle, where are you from? You've been at sea for a few days now, how's your catch?"
While grilling the barbecue, Bai Yu asked about the man's situation before the man next to him could speak.
The main point is that as long as I'm faster than the other person, they won't have a chance to ask him any questions.
"We're from Wanning. We just went out to sea yesterday, so it's only been a day. The harvest is so-so."
We went out to sea to find big fish, but we searched all night and couldn't find a fishing spot with big fish, so we settled for this place instead.
"Young men, how was your trip at sea?"
"Hey, uncle, if that's what you're asking, then I've got something to tell you. Let me tell you, we've been at sea for three days now, and these three days have been absolutely amazing..."
When the topic of fishing comes up, Bai Yu becomes very energetic, and he started chatting with the uncle.
From the mahi-mahi caught on the first day, to the sunfish caught later, to the hammerhead shark at the end, and the fishing boat that encountered monkeys today.
Bai Yu spoke with a combination of words and gestures, and finally showed the uncle the video they had filmed that day. The uncle was thrilled by what he saw.
Especially the footage of our coast guard boarding the monkey fishing boat for inspection, that was so satisfying to watch!
If you usually talk to others about the big fish you caught, they might think you're bragging. But after watching the video, the uncle believed it immediately.
Moreover, even if Bai Yu said he only caught a hammerhead shark weighing a little over 100 pounds, or even if he said he caught a great white shark weighing seven or eight hundred pounds, this uncle would still believe that what Bai Yu said was true after watching the later videos.
After all, in the old man's opinion, someone who could do something like chasing away monkeys wouldn't brag about something as trivial as fishing.
After the uncle heard what Bai Yu had to say, it wasn't long before everyone on the island knew about it, and everyone had a copy of the video about the monkey.
At this point, we must mention another powerful feature of mobile phones: Bluetooth, which allows file transfers to be completed even without a network connection.
Bai Yu and the others didn't pay too much attention to the spread of these videos, because they weren't the only ones who had them.
When the coast guard boarded the ship today, they had already made a copy, saying they would use these videos to issue a notice.
Since these videos have already been decided to be made public, there's no problem with Bai Yu and the others sharing a few more copies.
In a peaceful atmosphere, Bai Yu and the others finished their dinner. Then they lit a bonfire on the rocks of the small island and sat on the rocks to look at the surrounding scenery.
Bai Yu thoroughly enjoyed this rare moment of leisure. He lay down on the rocks and gazed at the starry sky by the sea.
Li Xue, Bai Yue, Wang Hai, and others were lying next to him; they were all lying in a row.
"Brother Xiaobai, it seems like ever since we started junior high school, all we do every day is study or train. It's been a long time since we've felt this relaxed."
"Yes, it's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed. But that's life, isn't it? The older we get, the lonelier we become, and the more things we face."
We need to get used to this sooner rather than later. Once we achieve financial freedom, we can do whatever we want, no longer be bound by anything, and no longer worry about making a living.
Bai Yu was momentarily dazed as he listened to what Li Xue said.
Unlike Li Xue and the others, Bai Yu has a secret he has never told anyone. This secret is not about Tongzi Ge, but about his memories of two lifetimes.
The wonderful childhood memories that Li Xue spoke of were also the wonderful times for Bai Yu and the others, and times that he cherished dearly.
After all, his previous life was extremely tragic. In this life, he finally has a complete family, loving parents, and a large group of relatives and friends who treat him very well.
Isn't this kind of life worth his longing?
However, as Bai Yu himself said, people become more and more lonely as they grow up. He had already experienced this in his previous life, which is why in this life, he likes to do everything with a group of people.
Even if the other party takes a share of the profits from Bai Yu, he doesn't care. As long as family and friendship remain, money is just a string of numbers or a stack of paper to a certain extent.
Especially since Tongzi came along, Bai Yu has become even less concerned about money.
Because he knew one thing: as long as Brother Tongzi was still around, he would one day never have to worry about money again, and he would eventually achieve financial freedom.
But once family and friendship are gone, it's not always possible to get them back, and what you get back won't feel the same as before.
As Bai Yu and the others lay on the rocks chatting, they talked about everything under the sun, from the past to the future. They talked about everything and nothing was off-limits.
Tonight, unusually, they didn't go fishing. Instead, around nine o'clock, they took a rubber boat back to the fishing boat, tidied up briefly, and then went back to their cabins to rest.
There were a lot of things going on today, and I caught quite a few fish, although they weren't very big, but it still took some effort.
Then I met a large group of older men and women who were passionate about fishing; they had all expended a lot of physical and mental energy.
Let's get some rest early tonight. Once we're well-rested, they can find another fishing spot tomorrow and have a proper contest with the fish.
After all, the more big fish they catch, the sooner they can achieve financial freedom!
Nothing was said that night.
