Chapter 152: Go to Nanguan
Seeing that he was waving at himself, the sloppy man pointed at himself in confusion.
Zhang Ze nodded and waved for him to come over.
After the people came over, he picked up the bowl and poured a large bowl of rice, scooped a large spoonful of fish meat on it, and then handed it to the man and said, "If you are hungry, eat something to fill your stomach. There will always be difficult times in life."
The sloppy man looked at the bowl in his hand, his expression didn't change, but he felt a little amused and helpless in his heart.
He knew that Zhang Ze had misunderstood him and thought that he was in trouble and was hungry, so he was greedy for his fish.
In fact, he was looking at the house, and after seeing that all the people living in the house were strangers, he became depressed and fell into reminiscence.
He was actually pretending to be so sloppy because he was afraid that the acquaintances in his memory would recognize him.
Now that he was misunderstood by Zhang Ze, the man had no explanation.
To be honest, he was indeed tempted by the pot of fish.
"Thank you!" After saying thank you, the man squatted next to the store and ate a lot of food.
As soon as he took a sip of the soup along with the rice, he was startled by the spicy and sour taste. The soup tasted unexpectedly good, and it was a flavor he had never tasted before.
The fish meat was unexpectedly tender and smooth. I wonder how Zhang Ze processed it. The taste of the fish meat was unexpectedly good.
He never thought that fish could be cooked so deliciously. No wonder a customer asked him to sell this fish just now.
The man ate the rice with big mouthfuls. Soon he had finished it all, leaving not a grain of rice in the bowl.
After returning the bowl to Zhang Ze and thanking him again, the man left.
Zhang Ze didn't notice any difference between this man and the previous ones. He asked Tong Shuyao and the others to eat first, and he helped Zhang's mother. He was busy! After the sloppy man left, he came to a house. There were three men sitting at the dining table. The food on the table was untouched. They seemed to be waiting for someone.
When they saw the person they were waiting for come back, smiles immediately appeared on their faces.
"Brother Nan, dinner is just ready, come and eat something."
Nan Fei waved his hand: "You guys eat, I've already eaten!"
The three of them were stunned. Although they were surprised why he went out to eat alone, they noticed that he didn't seem to want to talk about it, so they didn't ask any more questions.
But they knew why Nan Fei went out, and the oldest one asked with concern: "Brother Nan, have you found Sister Lu and her family?"
Nan Fei sighed softly, "Alas, a few years have passed and everything has changed. Her family and the stores she opened at that time all belong to other people. I heard that she left Wenshui City with her family, perhaps to Hong Kong Island. So I plan to go to Nanguan, and wait for a chance to visit Hong Kong Island or Taiwan in the future."
"Nan Guang?" The three young men looked at each other, and then they showed a determined look, "Brother Nan, we will go wherever you go. We have lost our relatives, and we would not have survived if it weren't for you. We have already recognized you as our eldest brother, you can't abandon us."
Nan Fei looked at his three brothers who had no blood relationship with him but respected him very much, and suddenly laughed heartily: "Okay, then we brothers will go to Nan Guang to try our luck."
The next morning, Zhang Ze got up, opened the shop curtains and checked the weather.
I listened to the weather forecast last night and it said it would be cloudy today, but now the sun is shining brightly without a single cloud.
But it is undeniable that today is a good day to go out to sea.
He pulled the curtains back and the room suddenly became dark. Zhang Ze looked back at his wife who was still sleeping and did not disturb her. He got dressed and went downstairs.
As the days passed, Tong Shuyao became more and more sleepy.
When I came downstairs, Zhang's mother had already gotten up and was making breakfast. She had cooked porridge. There was already a plate of fried peanuts and a few boiled salt duck eggs on the table.
She was also cutting pork slices with chopped sauerkraut next to it. It was obvious that she was going to stir-fry the pork with sauerkraut.
Zhang Ze was surprised that today's breakfast was so rich: "Mom, why are you so generous today? Not only did you use more oil, but you also cooked a few salted duck eggs?"
"Shuyao is pregnant and needs nutrition. Shouldn't she keep up with the eating and drinking?" Zhang's mother was in a very good mood when she thought that she would have a grandson in the first half of next year. She even made breakfast much more efficiently.
Zhang Ze curled his lips speechlessly. It turned out to be for his grandson! Then he made himself a bowl of porridge, picked up the salted duck eggs, cracked the shells and started peeling them.
"Oh, by the way, Mom, I might stay for two nights when I go out to sea. It's expensive to go to Nanping Island, so I'll gain more if I stay longer."
Zhang Huihong paused and said, "Don't stay at sea for too long. Shuyao is pregnant and needs your company."
"Well, I'm just saying it's possible. It doesn't mean we have to stay two nights every time we go out to sea. It depends on the harvest."
Zhang Ze nodded to show that he understood. Tong Shuyao was pregnant and Zhang Wu was still young, so he would definitely not be away from home for a long time.
He rode on his bicycle and called Zhang Qinghe and others to go out to sea together. As for the two meals, there was no rush, and he should make money first.
Four fishing boats left the dock one after another. Zhang Ze let them go first and went to the mangroves to collect blue crabs.
There were fewer and fewer blue crabs, so this time he simply took back the ground traps and went to the open sea to catch swimming crabs.
The longlines were useless the last time we went out to sea, and they are still on the boat.
When it was noon, he arrived at a fishing ground near Nanping Island.
I had lunch first, then put on a straw hat and hung bait in the sun.
By the time both longlines were let down, it was already a little after three in the afternoon.
The afternoon is not a good time for fishing, as fish generally like to hide in places they think are safe and sleep in the afternoon.
So Zhang Ze came to the cab, took out a piece of white paper, a pencil and a student ruler, and started writing and drawing on the paper.
The last time he thought of fishing and hunting, he wasn't just thinking about it.
Fishing and hunting was also one of his favorite sports in his previous life. He made a few wooden spearguns for himself and knew how to make a speargun.
But compared to later generations where speargun materials can be easily purchased online, it is not so easy for him to make a wooden speargun now.
The wood used for spear guns is very special, and secondly, spear arrows and various small parts are also a problem.
Maybe a blacksmith can make some fish arrows, but you'll have to look for springs, rubber bands and the like yourself.
After writing and drawing for a while, Zhang Ze also took a rest on the small bed in the cab, and then it was night.
He ate first and then set out to reel in the longlines.
He used only regular bait, so it didn't need to be left out for that long.

After finding the familiar buoy on the sea, Zhang Ze pulled the main line back, tied it to the winch, and turned on the winch.
The winch slowly turned, and the longline that was originally submerged in the water was slowly pulled to the surface, and the sub-line gradually came to a place where he could reach it.
Grabbing the sub-line, he began to pull it back.
The first one was quite heavy. When he pulled it up, he found out it was a grouper, the most expensive red grouper.
When put into the space, it weighs five pounds and three ounces.
Zhang Ze's eyebrows opened instantly, feeling that he hadn't had such a good start in a while. Recently his income had plummeted and he had to rely on advertising to make money. He hoped to have a good harvest today.
He had over ten thousand yuan in cash, enough to buy a small Western-style house in Wenshui City, similar to the one Tong Yuanhang and his father-in-law and mother-in-law lived in now.
You can also buy a suitable location, tear down the old house and rebuild it yourself.
The reason why Zhang Ze didn't make any move was because he felt that he should be able to go to Nanfang soon. If he was going to live there in the future, he might as well save money to build a big house there, whether he built it himself or bought a ready-made one.
However, according to his idea, he would buy a house that he could move into directly, and then buy some houses with good locations and rebuild them. In the future, he would buy houses in the city center when he had the chance.
Zhang Ze didn’t know which places in other places would be demolished in the future, but it would be a good idea to buy a property in the city center.
After looking at several fishing boats a few hundred meters away from him, he continued to collect fish.
The first one was a good start, and the following ones were also good. Out of ten hooks, I caught two red friend fish, two black porgy and one blue spot.
With eleven hooks, he caught two groupers, which made Zhang Ze realize that tonight's grouper catch would definitely be good and his experience points would also increase rapidly.
He continued to reel in the sub-line, and after collecting about two hundred hooks, he suddenly found that he could not pull the fishing line.
Stuck on the bottom? He pulled hard and found that it could be pulled. It didn't feel like it was stuck on the bottom at all. His eyes lit up instantly.
This feeling cannot be wrong, there must be something good, this is the confidence that comes from the fisherman.
He continued to work hard, and with the help of the winch, the fish at the bottom of the water finally couldn't hold on and was pulled up.
It turned out to be a big moray eel, no wonder it was so hard to catch, it turned out to be a moray eel that liked to stay in its own cave. Zhang Ze sighed helplessly, fishermen sometimes have illusions.
After storing it in the space, the experience value immediately increased by seven points.
This moray eel is only about one meter long and probably won't sell for much money.
There are certain differences between moray eels and conger eels. Moray eels basically live in reefs and coral areas, while conger eels like to dig holes and many of them live in the deep sea.
Between the two, moray eels are much thicker, while conger eels are generally more slender.
Conger eels may live in groups. If the one he brought up this time was a conger eel, it is estimated that a large number of conger eels will appear next, but the number of conger eels will not be large.
Just as he thought, black porgy, yellowfin porgy and stone grouper all appeared next, but there was no trace of moray eel.
All the fish were collected into the space, and the experience points increased very quickly.
After all the longline was collected, Zhang Ze looked at the harvest.
Subtracting the number before longlining from the current total, a total of 277 fish were caught this time.
Among them, there are 62 groupers, which is not a high proportion, but the weight is still good, basically five or six kilograms.
There were no schools of fish passing by this time, and all we caught were fish that lived in the reefs.
The experience points have accumulated to more than 8,600 points so far, and I estimate that I can upgrade after a few more attempts.
