As soon as Bai's father arrived at the beach, he headed straight for the direction where Bai Yu and the others were.
"Xiaoyu, what's up? I heard you caught a tuna at the beach? Really? You can catch that at the beach? I haven't heard of anything like that in years."
Mr. Bai looked at the tuna in Bai Yu's hand with disbelief.
Let alone a young man like Bai Yu, even Bai's father, a middle-aged man, had not heard of anyone catching tuna in nearshore waters for a long time.
Originally, Bai's parents were having barbecue at home when they received Li Xue's call. Bai's father was stunned for a moment. After telling Bai's mother that he would go and get her some meat, he took the food and left with Wang Hai.
Dad Bai brought more than just a bucket of water; he also brought a large box of ice and two large plates.
How can you eat sashimi without ice? It's an essential ingredient.
"Dad, I never expected to catch a tuna. It was just a coincidence, and then I caught it."
After cleaning the tuna inside and out, Dad took the knife he had brought and prepared to get to work.
When it comes to cutting up tuna, some foreign chefs use a huge number of knives—large knives, small knives, chef's knives, fruit knives, and so on.
But for Bai's father, he only had two knives. One was a kitchen knife that his master had specially commissioned a teacher to make for him when he graduated from his apprenticeship, and the other was a kitchen knife that he had made himself.
One knife is for working at the hotel, and another is for cooking at home. I don't have any other knives.
He used one of the same knives to process the tuna, and with one stroke, he cut down on the tuna's back. When the knife touched the skin, it was like hot water touching water—it melted instantly and became incredibly smooth.
In just a few minutes, the tuna, weighing about 20 pounds, was cleaned up. Then, Bai's father divided the fish meat into several large pieces, leaving one piece of reddish fish meat behind.
The reddest part of the fish is the lepi, which also has the least fat content, and is naturally the cheaper part.
Although it was relatively inexpensive, Bai's mother preferred this part of the fish to other parts, so Bai's father specially kept this part of the fish to bring home for Bai's mother.
The remaining large pieces of fish were cut into sashimi by Bai's father, and then grilled some before he left naked.
While the beach is lively with so many young people, it's not suitable for Bai's father and his family. He prefers to have barbecues at home with Bai's mother.
After eating a few pieces of grilled pork belly, Bai Yu went fishing by himself.
In his opinion, grilled tuna was just so-so, with no special flavor. Apart from the slightly sweet taste of the fish, it didn't taste as good as beef skewers.
After eating and drinking his fill, Bai Yu continued fishing, baiting the rod and casting again.
I don't know if it's because the seaside is better for fishing at night, or if this inner bay is a bit unusual tonight, but Bai Yu and his friends are fishing here.
The fishing was really good. Fish that are rarely seen on the beach were biting the hook one after another, and they didn't have to wait long.
"Tsk, what's going on tonight? Why are they catching fish one after another?"
Bai Yu looked at the black sea bream in his hand; this was the second black sea bream he had caught.
From the moment he started fishing until now, in just one hour, he has already caught five fish, averaging one every ten minutes or so.
Although this frequency may not seem like much, it depends on where they are fishing. Fish caught on a public beach are a very rare catch.
Moreover, it wasn't just him; everyone else fishing at the beach had different catches, and basically no one came away empty-handed.
They had caught so much fish that they stopped bringing more to the barbecue grill, because they were already full and couldn't eat anymore.
As it approached 10 p.m., the people on the beach dispersed, and all the trash that needed to be cleaned up was taken away. Currently, only eight people remain on the beach.
Besides Bai Yu and his three companions, there was also Liu Tianyu and his cousin, as well as two male employees from the company.
As for the others, those who were supposed to go back to their dorms went back to their dorms, and those who were supposed to go home went home; they had all dispersed.
Bai Yu and the others didn't leave because they were really reluctant to go. The fishing was so good by the sea, it was truly a rare treat.
Moreover, with the others leaving the beach, Bai Yu and his friends could fish much more easily.
For example, they no longer need to stand while fishing; instead, they sit in chairs and leisurely fish.
Just as Bai Yu was leisurely sitting in his chair, fishing, his fishing rod suddenly lurched downwards, a powerful force emanating from it.
Caught off guard, Bai Yu almost dropped the fishing rod from her hand, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed it firmly.
You don't even know what Bai Yu does. If you want to out-react with Bai Yu, this guy who took the bait is still too green.
What? You don't know what Bai Yu does?
Please, Bai Yu is the number one long-distance runner in China. As a professional athlete, his reaction speed goes without saying.
Even as a long-distance runner, Bai Yu needs to improve his reaction speed. After all, the faster his reaction, the more he can gain the upper hand the moment he hears the starting gun and keep his opponents firmly behind him.
"Wow, not bad, you're quite big. Too bad you attacked the wrong person today. If you had attacked someone else, you might have actually succeeded."
Bai Yu felt the weight on the fishing rod and immediately adjusted the pull on the deflector to apply further pressure to the other side.
However, with the help of the waves, Bai Yu did not dare to lock the fishing line immediately, as this would be detrimental to his fish-playing strategy.
Bai Yu couldn't estimate the size of the creature that had taken the bait this time, as the unpredictable waves were greatly affecting his rhythm.
Fortunately, Bai Yu didn't have much to do on the second day. He could just fish slower, as long as he could catch the guy.
In Baiyu's fishing operation, as soon as the waves crash onto the beach, he immediately and quickly reels in the line. Then, when the wave recedes, he stops letting out line and instead controls the fishing line to keep the fish in place as much as possible.
Thanks to Bai Yu's actions, the fishing time was greatly shortened. Soon, another yellow-finned fish was swept up by the waves and landed steadily at Bai Yu's feet.
The first half of the night is high tide time, and before you know it, the waves are almost high enough to reach Bai Yu's chair.
Compared to the waves that were getting closer and closer, Bai Yu was more interested in the fish that was being swept up by the waves.
Because it's another yellowfin tuna!
Moreover, judging by its size alone, this guy is a whole size bigger than the tuna that they had previously divided up and ate, and it looks like it weighs at least thirty or forty pounds!
Having caught the first tuna, Bai Yu was quite unfazed by catching another one, unlike before when it seemed incredible.
However, the necessary procedures still need to be followed: bloodletting and removing internal organs.
Even though the barbecue grill had been removed and everything had been packed up and taken away, Bai Yu and the others still left behind a few knives.
After all, a knife is an essential tool for fishing in the sea; you need a knife to bleed the fish.
But a knife alone wasn't enough. After quickly processing the tuna, he picked it up and greeted Wang Hai and the others.
"Ah Hai, Shuangzi, cousin, I'm packing up and heading home now. I won't be coming back later, so you guys should pack up and go home to rest too."
"Brother Yu, why are you going home so early tonight? Why don't you fish a little longer...? Oh my god, Brother Yu, did you catch another tuna? We haven't even caught one yet, and you've caught two?"
"Brother Yu, give us a break! Don't outdo us all!"
When Li Shuang heard Bai Yu's voice again, he originally wanted to ask Bai Yu what was going on. With such good fishing today, why was he preparing to pack up his line so soon?
But before she could finish speaking, he saw the tuna that Bai Yu was holding.
Although he was several meters away from Bai Yu's fishing spot, and it was nighttime, he could still see the tuna's yellow fins under the illumination of the lights behind him; it was too conspicuous!
"It's all luck, I won't tell you about it. I need to get this fish home first. The little bit of ice in the styrofoam box isn't enough to keep it fresh."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he took the tuna, his other catch, and his fishing rod and went home.
To Bai Yu's surprise, just as he packed up and left, Li Shuang and the others followed suit, packing up and stopping fishing as well. Perhaps they were provoked by Bai Yu's two tuna, because they left without saying a word.
Liu Tianyu and Li Shuang were the last to leave. When they left, they also took down two lights from the beach, which they had taken from the fishing boat. They would return them to the boat the next day.
On the other hand, Bai Yu took the newly caught tuna and ran all the way home.
This guy exhausted him. A long-distance runner, running from the beach to him, a distance of only a few hundred meters, left Bai Yu panting heavily, completely out of breath.
I'm exhausted!
