Chapter 88: I can't tell the difference between the fragrant head and the yellowfin snapper
After waiting for a while, Tong Yuanhang jumped onto the boat with a small basket of mussels he had found: "These are enough, right? I left you a stone to smash the shells."
"Enough, enough." Zhang Ze asked for bait just for show. He could buy bait from the space, but there was no bait on the boat. He couldn't just make it out of thin air! Tong Yuanhang stepped back onto the reef and went to the sea with the others. Zhang Ze drove the fishing boat back slightly, and then drove the boat to the bottom of a cliff on the side.
The water here looks quite deep, so it should be a good fishing spot.
He thought he could catch a lot of grouper, but he didn't buy the magic bait right away. He planned to try fishing with mussels first to see what kind of fish there were.
The aquatic station is now open for collecting fish, and if others don't want fish other than grouper, he can sell them to the station.
If you are more diligent, you can also sell fish in the streets.
There are no more red-sleeved people in Wenshui City who are catching speculators. Currently, more and more vendors are setting up stalls. Many times, Zhang Ze can see staff members persuading them to apply for business licenses and they also use him as an example.
His business license has just arrived, and it is estimated that newspapers have already been distributed to publicize his application for a business license.
I believe that the number of people applying for this service will experience an explosive growth in the future, and the prosperous days of Wenshui City will soon be here.
If there is a shortage of fish in the future, it will definitely be better to go door to door than to sell them at the seafood station. Maybe fishmongers will appear soon.
Zhang Ze took out a fishing rod and tied the fishing line. He smashed a mussel with a stone, took out the meat inside and hung it on the fishhook.
With a gentle flick, the fish hook fell into the water with a thud.
There is no need to make a nest or use magic bait, fishing is actually quite a joke, and it seems that anyone who wants to take the bait will do so.
However, Zhang Ze was indeed fishing for entertainment. It would take most of the day to catch fish there, so he didn't need to rush to prepare fish ingredients for tonight.
It was already afternoon, the sun was hanging in the west, and the sea surface appeared golden red.
The fishing line was moved by the waves, causing the tip of the fishing rod to shake slightly and restlessly.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Ze originally thought that he would not catch any fish. Just when he was about to lift the fishing rod, there was a movement at the tip of the rod.
But the fishing rod was only slightly bent, and the fishing line tightened and loosened, so it was obvious that the fish caught was not big.
In this situation, Zhang Ze directly lifted the fishing rod, and saw a slightly yellowish sea bream being pulled up.
Zhang Ze was stunned. He didn't expect his luck to be so good. It turned out to be yellow fin. No!
When he grabbed the fishing line and pulled the fish up, he discovered the difference of the fish.
This is a sweetfin snapper, scientifically known as the flathead snapper, a fish that is much cheaper than the yellowfin snapper but looks very similar.
Zhang Ze was deeply impressed by this fish because when he first bought yellowfin snapper, he was cheated by the fishmonger and bought a few mullets. When he discovered the problem later, he could no longer find the fishmonger.
But it was useless to find it, because the yellowfin snapper sold to him was killed by others, and he really had no way to deal with it without surveillance.
It is actually not difficult to distinguish between yellowfin snapper and tilapia. The yellowfin snapper has a pointed mouth, while the tilapia has a rounder head.
Secondly, the yellowfin snapper has a very thick spine on its abdominal fin, but the mullet does not.
There is also a huge difference in price. Yellowfin snapper may be sold for 40 or 50 cents at a fishery station, while mullet is probably only 1 or 2 cents. People simply don't want such a small one.
"Xiaoxiang, this is the first fish you caught. You are unlucky. I will roast you later." Zhang Ze put the fish into the space first, and then took it out and threw it into the live water tank after gaining some experience points.
Seeing that the bait was intact, I continued to throw it into the water to see if another fathead fish would take the bait.
As a result, this time, the fishing rod moved within two minutes. When he pulled it up and took a look, he was speechless: "Fuck, is there a school of mullets here?"
It's another small fragrant head, no more than half a pound.
After thinking for a while, he smashed open another mussel, then walked forward and decided to change his fishing spot.
"Well, this thing is going to make trouble for me today!" Unexpectedly, after changing the position, it was still a smelt. Zhang Ze couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately exchanged a grouper bait from the space, ready to start fishing for grouper.
In fact, the fish resources here are good, you can use ordinary bait to fish, and you can save more experience points.
But after catching three small fish in a row, even though he changed to a bigger fish hook and a thicker fishing line, he didn't dare to try it rashly.
Ordinary fish bait increases the chance of catching any fish, but the mullet is not that small. It can grow up to 80 centimeters long. Who knows if there are ancestors of those three mullets here.
After changing the bait, Zhang Ze went from being careless to being fully focused.
At the bottom of the water where he could not see, the groupers were hiding in various hidden places such as crevices in the rocks and in the water plants, sleeping and waiting for the night to come. Their bodies shook in unison. They suddenly smelled a very tempting smell, and their stomachs, which had originally felt nothing, inexplicably became very hungry.
Sleep? Even dogs don’t sleep!
The groupers all came out and swam towards the location that attracted them greatly.
But at this moment, two long figures were swimming in the water, and one of them felt that there seemed to be something in front of it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After smelling it, it found out that it was not tasty food, so it immediately turned its head away in disgust.
But there was no food in its stomach and it was so hungry that it finally chose to live. It turned around and swallowed the food in one gulp.
"Shua~"
After Zhang Ze noticed the movement of the fishing rod, he suddenly raised the rod to stab the fish. This pull made Zhang Ze feel that the weight was a bit heavy, but there was not much pulling force.
What did you catch?
He couldn't guess it for a moment, and since the hooked creature didn't resist at all, he simply lifted the rod and pulled the hooked creature out of the water.
A creature with its body twisted into a pretzel appeared in my eyes. Upon closer inspection, it was not a sea snake but a not-so-small conger eel.
It’s not a grouper, so it’s a pity to waste a portion of bait. Fortunately, the conger eel is also good, so I’ll grill it at night.
Eating more of this thing is good for men. Of course, it has to be wild. Farmed ones are not as good.
Zhang Ze directly collected the twisted conger eel into the space, contributed four experience points, and then threw it into the living water tank.
The next fish caught were relatively safe, all groupers. Apparently all the nearby groupers had been attracted here.
Before I knew it, only one of the ten grouper baits was left.
The sun was only halfway up its head and it was almost time. Zhang Ze decided to pick up people after finishing the bait and then have a barbecue on the deck.
Hang the last bait and throw it into the water, waiting for the fish to take the bait. This tempting food makes the grouper in the water unable to stop.
A blue grouper weighing about ten pounds took advantage and stood out from a group of groupers. Just as it opened its huge mouth to swallow the bait, a huge black shadow flashed by and immediately hit it, making it dizzy.
"Fuck!"
Zhang Ze, who was standing by the side of the boat, staggered. Because he was holding the fishing rod tightly, he was almost pulled into the sea by the fish without being prepared.
