Alright, that's all the analysis. Now let's start making money and living a good life! Eat when you have food, spend when you have money, use your abilities, and do what you're supposed to do! Anyway, if you don't say anything and you've disguised it well, no one will know.
As long as I'm not caught and dissected, and I'm not covered in fish scales, who would pay attention to a small fisherman like myself?
With that thought in mind, there was nothing to worry about. Chen Hong weighed anchor and set sail slowly towards the route home.
As the boat chugled along the calm sea, Chen Hong suddenly discovered an underwater wonder: on the trench more than 20 meters below the fishing boat, there looked like a patch of loofah vines growing.
Clusters of gourds, each over a meter long, densely covered half of the ditch, preventing even the last rays of the sun from reaching it.
The fish here seem to have entered the night early, with faintly visible fish-like creatures glowing in the darkness slowly moving about on the seabed.
It's ribbonfish! My goodness, such a huge school of ribbonfish! If we could net them, we could catch thousands of kilograms! Chen Hong immediately stopped the boat and dropped anchor.
Replace all three fishing rods with multi-hook rigs and bait them with live bait. First, set the line length of the two electric reels to 22 meters, and then cast the sea fishing rods.
Then, I changed the leader and hook on the hand-held casting rod, baited it with live bait, and cast it into the sea.
The fishing hook, carrying a struggling shrimp, was sent directly into the school of ribbonfish, immediately attracting a fierce attack from the ribbonfish that were pretending to be asleep. A fish had taken the bait! Chen Hong lifted the rod to set the hook, her hand rapidly spinning the spinning reel, and three long, shimmering silver ribbonfish were pulled up by Chen Hong like loofahs.
Chen Hong tossed a string of ribbonfish onto the deck. The three fish writhed a few times and then lay still. Chen Hong had originally intended to try and keep them alive in her spatial storage, but now there was no need to try; they were stubbornly refusing to die. These fish were incredibly tenacious, preferring death to dishonor!
Since the fish were all dead, there was no need for a fish catcher, so Chen Hong put on gloves and picked them off by hand. She laughed as she picked them, it really was like picking loofahs. She took the fish off and threw them into a styrofoam box, tidied up the crushed ice inside, laid a layer at the bottom, then a layer of fish, covered it with another layer of ice, and closed the lid.
They quickly baited their hooks and cast their lines, determined to catch as many as possible this time. Both Yu Yang and they loved eating ribbonfish, and now they could eat their fill.
Chen Hong used three fishing rods like a gourd vine, pulling them onto the boat, then detaching them and throwing them into a styrofoam box. He baited the hooks, cast them, pulled again, and detached them again—the assembly line robot was at work again.
Later, Chen Hong stopped bothering with throwing fish into styrofoam boxes and adding crushed ice. Instead, she simply removed the fish from the hook and stored it in the large, empty water tank in her space. Since the space could keep the fish fresh and prevent spoilage, and no fishing boats were nearby, Chen Hong's small boat was the only one fishing nervously on the vast sea.
When it was completely dark, Chen Hong turned on the boat's headlights. He could only see about four or five meters underwater, so he had no choice but to regretfully put away his fishing rod, weigh anchor, and head home.
This time she didn't call Liu Laohu. She planned to take some time to go to the city to find other sales channels and open up two more avenues.
Only one box of ribbonfish, one box of mackerel, and about 100 pounds of live fish remained on the boat. Everything else was stored in her spatial storage; she wanted to avoid flaunting her wealth and reduce the chances of trouble. A man who doesn't plan for the future will have trouble in the present!
It was already past nine o'clock when we arrived at the dock. Many fishing boats were unloading overnight, and a dozen fishmongers were shuttling between the boats, negotiating prices and buying fish.
As soon as Chen Hong's boat docked, several people surrounded him: "Boss, how was the catch? Want to sell your fish? I have good prices, sell to me!"
“Sell it to me, I offer higher prices, I buy from this dock every day.”
The fishmongers started arguing before they even saw what fish they had; it seems this business isn't easy.
"Sorry everyone, there weren't enough fish today, and they've all been reserved. We'll trade again next time!"
"Then give me a smaller portion. The price is negotiable; let's talk about it some more."
Chen Hong tied the rope, returned to the boat, scooped the live fish into the large water tank, turned on the aerator, scooped the water from the live water tank into the water tank, turned on the switch to release the rest, and then carried the water tank onto the tricycle.
She then carried two more styrofoam boxes onto the boat, loaded everything onto the tricycle, cleaned and locked the boat, and said to the fishmonger who was following her around, "Brother, look, another boat is coming back. Hurry up and grab some fish."
Upon hearing this, the fishmonger took off running, his speed comparable to that of a sports champion.
Chen Hong started the tricycle and drove off. Just as she left the dock, she saw village chief Wang Guangfu standing at the intersection, looking around. The headlights of the tricycle were so bright that he had to shield his eyes with his arm.
Chen Hong pulled up beside him and stopped the car. "Uncle, why aren't you home so late? What are you doing here?"
"Chen Hong, you're back. I heard from your father-in-law that you went to sea, so I came to check on you. Don't come back so late in the future. It's okay to earn less, but it's not safe for you to be alone."
Chen Hong asked the village chief to get in the car and give him a ride back. The dock was more than ten minutes' walk from the village. The village chief got in the car and sat next to her. When Chen Hong touched the village chief's clothes, she knew that he had been waiting for quite a while, because his clothes were cold and damp.
"Uncle, I know what I'm doing and I won't be back too late. Today is a special case. On the way back, I found a group of large ribbonfish and I couldn't bear to let them go, which is why I'm late."
I usually arrive at the pier by six or seven o'clock at the latest. Don't come waiting for me anymore; it gets chilly at night, and if you catch a cold, I'll feel terrible and won't be able to explain it to Brother Guoqing.
“It’s alright. I’m healthier than your father-in-law. I’m not Lin Daiyu, who can’t sleep at this hour at home either.”
"That's only allowed this once, not next time!"
"Okay, I won't come next time, and you can't come back this late!"
"I was a bit greedy this time. I got home early according to plan. I will definitely correct this in the future."
