Chapter 110: Fish King Again
Returning to the stern to continue fishing, Zhang Ze was surprised to catch a sturgeon with the last grouper bait, but overall it was still a big profit.
Now he has some idea about the probability of catching fish with the bait.
Basically, one or two out of ten baits of the same family will catch fish of other families, but it has a great impact on the people around you. Basically, you can only catch fish of other families, and occasionally one or two fish will slip through the net and take the bait.
Exclusive fishing bait can only catch exclusive fish and it is impossible to catch other fish, but it is hard to say what impact it will have on the people around you.
Because it only attracts one kind of fish, if the number is large, people nearby can also benefit.
If the number is small, people around can only hope that there are other fish swimming in the nearby waters, otherwise they will be empty-handed.
With ordinary bait, any fish on or off the boat will naturally take the bait, which is a good opportunity for those who are fishing next to you.
The previous few times Zhang Ze went fishing with ordinary bait, his efficiency in catching fish was only slightly higher than Zhang Qinghe's.
Whatever fish he can catch, the other party can catch as well, just not as frequently as him.
Ten groups of grouper baits had just been used, and there must be a group of groupers gathered under the boat and had not dispersed, so Zhang Ze took the opportunity to exchange them for ten groups of ordinary baits.
One is to continue to attract other fish and form a larger fish nest.
After he put in the first ordinary bait, the twitching force of the fishing line told him that he seemed to have caught something extraordinary.
When it was pulled to the surface, Zhang Ze was immediately disappointed. He thought it was a lobster, but it turned out to be a squid?
But when he brought it back and saw the pattern on the squid's back, he was stunned. It turned out to be a giant squid?
This isn't right. Aren't big-tail squids only found in the southern part of Fujian Province to Nanning? How come they're also found here?
The ocean currents on the Nanping Island side are mainly the area where the Zhejiang and Fujian coasts meet and alternately ebb and flow in the Wanwan Warm Current, and there are indeed giant squids in the northern part of the Wanwan.
It was not surprising that his magic bait attracted the scattered giant squids.
This squid is delicious. I happened to bring a grill with me, so I’ll grill it tonight.
[Successfully caught a squid weighing 0.89 catties, experience +2. ]
The experience value is a bit small, but the weight is okay. After processing nearly one pound, I can stir-fry a dish.
Then I put on another ordinary bait, and the result was another big squid.
When he pulled it up, the giant squid suddenly sprayed, almost spraying him in the face. Fortunately, the fishing line turned and changed its direction.
What makes these giant squids grab the bait despite the danger to the grouper?
Zhang Ze was a little suspicious whether there was a squid nest nearby.
So for the third bait he used an ordinary shrimp, and the fishing line moved, and the fish touched the bait but did not come up to take a bite.
Zhang Ze immediately guessed that it might be a red snapper or a yellowfin snapper. Most marine fish are very ferocious, and basically only a small number of snapper species have higher IQs and are more vigilant.
He did not stab the fish rashly, and even loosened the fishing line a little to let the fish let down its guard. It was not until the loose fishing line was taut again that he suddenly pulled the fishing line and stabbed the fish.
Suddenly, a strong force was felt on the fishing line, and Zhang Ze was sure that this was definitely a real sea bream.
Because the force transmitted was a bit strong, the yellowfin snapper is relatively small and does not have that much strength.
He slowly reeled in the fishing line. This fish was quite tiring. The feeling of catching it was comparable to the seven or eight kilogram grouper he had caught before.
He also thought it was a true sea bream, but when he pulled it up it turned out to be a yellowfin sea bream.
But this yellowfin snapper was unexpectedly big. The largest yellowfin snapper he had ever caught was only 15 pounds and 20 grams. He took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments, but this one was much bigger.
[Successfully caught a yellowfin snapper, weighing 10.26 catties, experience (fish king critical hit) +500. ]
"Hiss~ Five hundred experience points!" Even though Zhang Ze had expected it when he saw the fish king, he still couldn't help but gasp in the end.
Normally it would take him half a day to gain so much experience points, and that was after he used the magic bait. It turned out that it was easy to produce king fish in Nanping Island!
Two king fish came today and gave him 700 experience points directly.
Even though the sturgeon is bigger and may fetch more money, a yellowfin snapper weighing over ten kilograms is actually rarer and more valuable than a sturgeon weighing 108 kilograms.
He might have a chance to encounter a sturgeon weighing about 100 kilograms in the future, or even more than once, but he might not encounter a yellowfin snapper weighing 10 kilograms.
Zhang Ze looked at the space panel and found that he was only three hundred meters away from reaching level fourteen!
He instantly became full of energy. King of fish, my king of fish. If he could catch a hundred of them, he would definitely be able to unlock a new function, and the next function would not be far away.
Results: One black porgy weighing 4 jin, one black porgy weighing 3 jin, one red porgy weighing 6 jin, and one grouper weighing 3 jin. This one is pretty good.
Shi Jiugong is only four taels per piece. Why the hell are you joining in the fun?
Zhang Ze sighed helplessly while holding a relatively large stone Jiugong. It was already good to have two king fish. It was impossible for his luck to be so good all the time.
He continued fishing until four o'clock in the afternoon. After Zhang Ze collected the hooks, he prepared to collect the fishing net.
After about six hours, the net can indeed be raised.
He drove the boat to the location of the fishing net and used a winch to pull up the first net. Zhang Ze was very surprised when he saw that there were only a few sea bass, sturgeon and swimming crabs, as well as about several dozen kilograms of small yellow croaker and an unidentifiable number of dragon head fish in it.
How could there be such a small catch in the 1980s? Shouldn't any fish caught be at least 200 kilograms, not to mention that this is Nanping Island? He was afraid that there would be too many fish in the afternoon and it would be difficult to put them on the boat, so he only cast one net. Now it seems that he was wrong.
Perhaps, he should go to the places where those small boats often go to set down his nets. The fishermen on Nanping Island have been fishing for generations, and they obviously know which waters have more fish activities.
The second net belonged to Zhang Qinghe, and his harvest was similar to his, neither was very good.
Zhang Ze even specifically asked Tong Yuanhang via radio, only to hear that things weren't going well on his end either.
All I can say is that he chose the wrong position this time and dragged everyone else into the trap.
Sure enough, he is more suitable to be a handsome fisherman, and the profession of fisherman is not suitable for him.
They were going to have a barbecue in their cousin's yard in the evening, so Zhang Ze took Zhang Qinghe to start sorting the fish.
You can put the sea bass and sturgeon in the boat hold, and you can choose some small yellow croakers and grill them in the evening.
There were also shrimps and the like, which were picked out one by one.
Dragon head fish. Forget it. Roasting this thing requires some skills, and Zhang Ze hasn't studied it specially. Therefore, the fish meat will probably be broken into pieces after cooking, and it is impossible to keep the fish meat in its original pieces.
Just save it for fishing at night, this thing is not good as bait! They were sorting the fish on the boat, and on the other side of the island, Tong Shuyao, Zhang Qian, Zhang Qing and Zhang Jiexia were going to the beach to pry oysters and pick scallops. They were carrying two buckets with a few screwdrivers in them.
Zhang Huihong stayed at home and helped make some garlic sauce and five-spice sauce.
"Are those oysters and scallops you mentioned really that delicious?" Although Zhang Jiexia was brought out, she still didn't believe what Tong Shuyao and the others said.
Zhang Qing took her hand and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, then just don't eat at night! The snack bar I opened now specializes in selling grilled oysters, scallops, and spiced blue crabs. Many people come to buy them every day."
"Is it really that delicious?" Zhang Jiexia heard her say it with such confidence that she finally believed it a little, but she still found it hard to believe.
It’s like telling the ancients that people in later generations can fly to the sky. They would find it difficult to understand. It’s the same principle.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Cousin, why would we lie to you!" Tong Shuyao asked back with a smile.
Zhang Jiexia thought about it and it made sense. There was no point in lying about such a small matter.
There are more shellfish resources on the beach of Nanping Island than on the coast, and the shellfish are bigger and fatter. It took the four of them almost no time to fill two buckets.
Zhang Qing also discovered a kind of shellfish with dark brown shells, which were densely packed everywhere on the reef. After smashing it open with a stone, she found a large piece of meat inside.
Out of curiosity, she also put some in the bucket.
The four women, two of them carrying a bucket each, were about to go back when a whistle suddenly sounded on the sea.
"Hey, it's my brother who's back!" Zhang Qing recognized the two fishing boats heading towards the dock at a glance.
"This place is not far from the pier, let's go wait for him together!" Tong Shuyao immediately suggested when she saw her man and brothers were about to come back.
The others had no objection, so the group changed direction and headed towards the pier.
But before they reached the dock, they saw Zhang Ze carrying a backpack and walking towards them with a smile, accompanied by Zhang Qing, He Tong Yuanhang and others.
"You got so many oysters and scallops? It must be heavy. Let me carry it." As he said that, he took the bucket from Tong Shuyao and Zhang Qian.
It felt heavy as soon as I picked it up, at least twenty pounds.
Zhang Jiexia couldn't help but tease when she saw this: "Oh, it's different when you're married. You don't see your cousins or sisters anymore, you only see your wife. Ah Qian is probably just a byproduct."
"Doesn't your brother-in-law love you?" Zhang Ze asked back.
He is mentally very old. Although he feels much younger mentally after his rebirth, he is not necessarily thin-skinned. He doesn't feel anything at all when hearing the other party's teasing.
"Of course he feels sorry for me!" Zhang Jiexia's expression froze, and then she immediately refuted with confidence.
Because she had experienced a broken engagement, Lu Zhou's willingness to not despise her made her thank her husband from the bottom of her heart, and she obeyed him in everything.
Lu Zhou also experienced all kinds of satisfaction as a man from her. After spending some time together, he was extremely satisfied with his wife and naturally thought well of her.
Zhang Ze came to her side and sighed: "Then you have to feel sorry for him. Look at how thin your brother-in-law has become!"
As soon as these words came out, Tong Shuyao immediately reached out her hand to his waist and gently twisted it, her little face slightly red and her eyes filled with anger.
The three brothers of the Tong family are all married, and they are standing by and laughing secretly. Only Zhang Qinghe and the two sisters Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing have confused looks on their faces, not understanding what they are laughing at.
Zhang Jiexia blushed and spat, "What are you talking about?"
Zhang Ze's eyes widened immediately, his face full of surprise: "What did I say? My brother-in-law has lost weight, so I asked you to treat him better and give him more nourishment. Is that wrong?"
Zhang Qing tilted her head, with a puzzled look on her innocent face: "Brother is right, my brother-in-law is indeed much thinner than when I saw him at the end of the year. Cousin, you should prepare more meat for him to eat."
Everyone: “.”
Zhang Ze looked at his sister in surprise, what a good assist.
"." Zhang Jiexia didn't know what to say at this moment. After all, she was still a newly married woman and her thick skin hadn't been tempered yet. Plus, the trend of the time was reserved.
Therefore, facing the half-smiling looks of several men, she finally couldn't stand it anymore, stomped her foot, threw down the bucket, twisted her butt and ran away, walking very quickly in small steps.
Upon seeing this, Tong Shuyao hurriedly chased after him. She was the only woman present who understood what he said, and she was also embarrassed!
Especially the sister-in-law's words were quite lethal. This cousin probably really prepared meat for her man every day.
But my sister-in-law doesn’t know that the more she eats this “meat”, the thinner she becomes.
Because she has been like this recently, her belly has not moved and she is worried, so she has been preparing "meat" every day recently, otherwise how can her belly be big? Zhang Qing looked at the two people who left strangely: "Why did they leave suddenly?"
Zhang Qian shook her head: "I don't know."
Zhang Qinghe saw her looking at him and shook his head: "I don't know either!"
"Let's go!" Zhang Ze shook his head with amusement and followed with the bucket.
Zhang Qing seemed to have thought of something, and took out a dark brown shellfish that she had pried off the reef from the bucket and handed it to him: "Brother, what kind of shellfish is this?"
"This is the purple mussel, also known as the sea scallop."
