The hook and bait sank quickly. Zhang Ze kept watching it and waited for the fishing line to loosen before retracting it a few meters.
However, when the bait reached a certain distance above the tuna, it immediately attracted the attention of the nearest one.
It had just swallowed a deep-sea spider crab, but before it could even bite it, it spat it out.
The tuna flicked its tail quickly, turned its body and headed straight for the bait.
Therefore, the bait was swallowed by the tuna before it reached the bottom.
Zhang Ze saw that the speed of the winch suddenly increased and the angle of the fishing line began to rise, and he knew he had caught a fish.
He quickly turned off the winch, and the sudden stop caused a huge reaction force that directly pulled the big fish to a stop, and the fishhook, which was originally not very strong, immediately pierced into it.
The fishing line has a certain degree of elasticity. It was stretched visibly and then returned to its original shape.
That is to say, the fishing line is produced in the space. The normal nylon line or the carbon line of later generations cannot withstand such a blow and will probably break directly.
The tuna in the distance paused for a moment, then continued to burst out and escape. This was its instinct.
However, Zhang Ze started the winch again at this time, but the direction of rotation was completely opposite to before.
Before it was letting out the line, now it’s reeling it in.
A tuna weighing several hundred kilograms can be caught relatively easily with a small winch, and this kind of large winch is even easier to catch.
Even the tuna at the bottom of the water couldn't even slow down the speed of the winch and was pulled back without any resistance, just like a naughty puppy being picked up by its owner.
In just twenty minutes, a plump tuna appeared on the water surface. It was the bluefin tuna, Zhang Zelai's main target in the open sea.
This bluefin tuna is estimated to be about three meters long, and may have reached the level of king fish.
The winch continued to turn and it was forcibly lifted into the air. Zhang Ze reached out and put it into the space.
[Successfully caught a bluefin tuna, weighing 647.83 catties, experience +100. ]
"Oh my god, a fish weighing over 600 kilograms is not considered a king fish?" Zhang Ze was a little puzzled. The length of the fish was also a little off, only two meters and eighty-five.
Apparently, only bluefin tuna that is over three meters in length and weighs over seven hundred or even eight hundred kilograms can be considered the king of fish.
In later generations, bluefin tuna weighing five or six hundred kilograms were considered top quality goods. That was because the number of bluefin tuna was already very small at that time, unlike the large numbers they have now.
However, this bluefin tuna has great practical growth value. After growth, it can reach more than 800 kilograms, which is also a behemoth-level existence.
According to the market price, spending one hundred experience points to earn a few hundred more is definitely a big win.
After using the growth function, Zhang Ze continued fishing, and there were still several fish at the bottom of the water! In the following days, he continued fishing in this sea area. Every day he would spend some time looking for tuna, but occasionally he would go fishing for coral fish, grouper, and various deep-sea fish when he found a good fishing spot.
When it came to the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Ze, with a great harvest, set sail for home.
The space was already full of fish, but only a few of the largest tunas were left, and the rest were all put into the cold storage compartment.
There are thirteen bluefin tunas in there now, the smallest one weighs over 387 kilograms, and after bleeding and removing the internal organs, it weighs about 350 kilograms.
The largest one weighed over 800 kilograms and was the first bluefin tuna Zhang Ze caught after coming here.
Take this one out as well. There are bigger ones in the natural space, and there are two of them, both at the king level.
After using the growth function, it directly exceeded one thousand kilograms, and the world record was broken again.
There were seven bigeye tunas, which was much smaller in number. The small one weighed more than 200 kilograms and the large one weighed 600 kilograms.
We encountered both yellowfin tuna and albacore tuna, with a total of about twenty of them, which means that the hold was almost filled with tuna alone.
In the end, Zhang Ze had to put all the deep-sea fish in the space on the deck, pack them in bamboo baskets, and cover them with ice that he had frozen in the cold storage.
Fortunately, it is winter and it can be preserved like this, but it would not be suitable in summer.
There were also a lot of fish in the live water tank, but Zhang Ze had just filled it up, and there were still many fish in the space that had not been taken out. The catch on the boat was already enough.
This was the longest time he had ever spent at sea, and if Zhang Qian hadn't been getting married soon, he might have continued fishing for a few more days.
"Hey, Aze is back? You've been out to sea for a long time this time!" After entering the Pearl River, some fishermen from the village saw his boat and shouted hello not far away.
"Yes, the resources in the distant sea are good, and there are fish everywhere. I don't want to come back! If Qian wasn't getting married, I would have stayed for a few more days." Zhang Ze slowed down the boat and said with a smile at the door of the cockpit.
"Time flies so fast. Your sister is getting married soon. Many young men in the village missed her!"
Zhang Ze naturally knew about this, but no one in the family wanted Zhang Qian to marry into a fishing village, so they rejected all the matchmakers who came to propose marriage.
It was a little after seven in the morning, and there were many fishermen going out to sea or returning from the Pearl River. He met many acquaintances, and when others greeted him, he had to respond one by one.
After finally returning to the small pier of the fishing village, Lin Long and Lin Hu, who had already learned the news, were already at the pier. Jin Guangcheng was like a cat that smelled blood and was waiting on a small boat early.
There were a lot of fish on the boat, so Zhang Ze naturally didn't mind selling some to him. Except for some particularly expensive fish, he let him choose the rest.
This made Jin Guangcheng very happy. Before, he could only buy cheap fish, but he didn't expect that he could get some slightly more expensive ones, and the quantity was also quite large.
He quickly asked his nephew who worked with him to drive two boats to transport the goods.
Zhang Ze didn't need to be responsible for selling fish. He handed a book with set prices to Lin Long and asked the two brothers to negotiate with Jin Guangcheng.
I took Xiao Hei ashore with me, went home to take a bath and have a nap.
He was extremely sleepy after coming back from working all night.
When Zhang Ze woke up again, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.
I went next door to heat up the lunch that my third sister brought for me. After that, I took Xiao Hei back to the city. I guess Lin Long and Lin Hu had already sold the fish and were waiting for him at his house.
Sure enough, when he arrived home, he saw the two brothers sitting in the living room watching TV with Zhang Wu.
Zhang Qian is getting married, and Zhang's mother is currently preparing for the wedding, which brings a lot of joy to the family.
However, taking Jiang Jiting's family situation into consideration, the wedding was not a grand affair. The betrothal gift was only a symbolic eighty-eight, just to make it sound nice, and there was even a lot of dowry.
Zhang Ze just wanted his sister to live a good life in the future, so he didn't even consider whether he would suffer any loss or not.
Zhang Qian now has more than two thousand yuan in her own pocket money, but she only saved more than two hundred yuan from her own salary, and the remaining two thousand yuan were all given by Zhang Ze, a sister-doting madman.
He didn't give two thousand at once. He only gave one thousand this time. The rest was pocket money he gave to his two sisters from time to time, which they saved.
Zhang Qing also has more than a thousand yuan in her own pocket, so the two sisters are quite wealthy.
Compared to them, Tong Shuyao's situation is actually more exaggerated. She has almost saved up ten thousand yuan in her small piggy bank. Every time Zhang Ze sells fish, he will give her some, and he will not take money from her when he needs it, so she has saved up so much.
The worst-off one was Zhang Wu, who had one dollar and twenty-five cents hidden in the drawer in his room.
When Lin Long and Lin Hu saw him coming, they handed him a passbook with the money they earned from selling fish in it. The total amount was more than 23,600 yuan, which was almost the same as what Zhang Ze had calculated himself.
"Aze, let's go back first."
"Don't worry, stay for dinner tonight and I'll make some delicious dishes."
"No, no, my third sister has probably prepared almost everything for the evening. If we don't go back, the food will all be wasted."
"What a waste! In the middle of winter, will the food go bad overnight?"
Seeing that the two brothers really wanted to go back, Zhang Ze didn't stop them in the end.
He asked the two to wait a moment, then pretended to go into the house and took out a thousand dollars.
"Take this money, it's your year-end bonus. I was planning to give it to you on New Year's Day, but I thought about how A-Long and Sanmei are getting married in a few days, so I'll give it to you first."
How could Lin Long dare to take this money? Five hundred yuan each for each of them was equivalent to an ordinary worker's entire year's income. He refused immediately.
"No, we can't take it. Ah Ze, you have taken great care of us brothers, how can we take your money? I have enough money for the wedding, if it doesn't work, we can get some from Ah Hu first."
"Ah Hu isn't married yet anyway, so he won't need that much money for the time being."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Take it, take it. I don't need it. You can work there when the seafood restaurant opens next year. You also have to help me sell fish part-time. There are a lot of things to do!" Zhang Ze forced the money into their hands.
If you put yourself in their shoes and treat them well, they will work for you wholeheartedly.
And every time Zhang Ze went out to sea, Lin Long or Lin Hu would often come to his house to see if he needed any help.
At the same time, with a man at home, petty thieves in the surrounding area will not target his house.
Many places were in chaos during this era, and Nanfang was no exception.
If the house is full of women, some people nearby will definitely come to bully the family after finding out what's going on.
So when Zhang Ze goes out to sea, he needs them to come and visit him frequently.
Only if you truly treat them as family will they give you their true heart.
Money, in many ways, is the smallest price.
After watching them leave, Zhang Ze immediately rushed back to the room.
"Oh my little baby, come here, let daddy hug you!"
Although he was out to sea for a few days, when he was taking care of Tong Shuyao during her confinement, he was the one who held the child when she woke up at night to change her diaper, or when she cried and needed to be coaxed, so the baby obviously still remembered him.
The baby's skin has become noticeably whiter and his facial features have grown a little, making him cuter than before.
Those big round eyes are exactly the same as his mother's.
Tong Shuyao had just finished feeding her child and after packing her clothes, she looked at the father and son with a smile.
However, the child of this age was sleepy and had just eaten, so Zhang Ze started yawning after teasing him for a while.
"The baby is sleepy, let me pat him to sleep!" Tong Shuyao said after seeing it.
"It's okay. You must be tired after holding the child all day. Let me do it." Zhang Zeke was reluctant to put the child down.
After his rebirth, he let his family live a good life and married a beautiful and gentle wife, which made him feel that his rebirth was very meaningful.
However, the birth of the baby made him feel that his whole world was brightened.
The greatest obsession and unwillingness in his previous life all disappeared after the baby was born, so he treasured this son very much.
Seeing him like this, Tong Shuyao shook her head and went out to help Zhang's mother prepare dinner.
It was already late. After Zhang Ze coaxed the baby to sleep, sisters Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing also returned from get off work.
Although factories nowadays also have Spring Festival holidays, the holidays are relatively short.
Lu Wenbin's garment factory happens to be closed tomorrow, and today is also the last day of work for the two sisters. They will not go back to work until the tenth day of the first lunar month next year.
Some factories will open earlier, but Lu Wenbin's home is in Hong Kong Island, and he also wants to spend more time with his family and children, so the vacation is a bit longer.
"Where's the baby? Where's the baby? Let me see."
As soon as the two sisters returned home, they rushed into the room to see the baby. Zhang Ze quickly made a gesture for silence.
"The baby just fell asleep, don't wake him up."
Zhang Qing, who had been making a lot of noise just now, immediately covered her mouth and tiptoed over with Zhang Qian to see the baby.
Seeing her sister looking at the baby intently, she immediately whispered teasingly: "Sis, if you like babies so much, why don't you give birth to one yourself!"
"You're getting married to your brother-in-law the day after tomorrow, so you should have a baby next year!"
"I'm dying talking about this." Speaking of the wedding and the baby, Zhang Qian, who was shy to begin with, immediately became shy and couldn't help but pinch her sister.
"Ouch~" This blow was so fierce that Zhang Qing almost cried out in pain and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
"Okay, you two stop making noise here. Let the baby sleep quietly. We'll go out first." Zhang Ze gently placed the baby in his arms in the crib specially made by the carpenter, then pulled his two sisters out of the room and closed the door.
The room is on the first floor, so if the child wakes up and cries, they will be the first to hear it.
However, the baby has just fallen asleep and it will take at least an hour or two for him to wake up, so there is no need to be too nervous.
Zhang's mother quickly prepared dinner, and the family sat at the dining table and began to eat.
"Aze, your uncle and his family will arrive at the station tomorrow morning. You can go pick them up and make arrangements for them."
"Okay." Zhang Ze nodded and agreed. He came back from the sea early because this was the most important thing.
"By the way, are the two houses next door all cleaned up?"
My two uncles and my aunt came, as well as my cousins, so it was a big family.
The environment of the guesthouse is not very good now, and it feels inappropriate to arrange relatives there, so Zhang Ze specially bought two houses nearby, cleaned them up, bought some new furniture and bedding, and they can move in.
Zhang Ze had always wanted to buy a house and wait for it to appreciate in value, so he took the opportunity to make the plan this time.
"It's all ready. They can move in right away." Zhang's mother nodded and said, "Thanks to A-Long and A-Hu, otherwise their mother would be too busy to take care of it."
Zhang Ze nodded. This was also the reason why he gave them so much year-end bonus. Even though they were usually idle, they could get a lot of things done when it mattered. (End of this chapter)
