Chapter 89 is over. I can’t sleep at night.
Zhang Ze held the fishing rod tightly with both hands, and then used his knees to steady his body against the side of the boat. Holding his breath, he exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and the fishing rod was immediately pulled back a long way, and at the same time, his body, which was originally lying on the side of the boat, stood up again.
The force on both sides was very strong, the fishing rod was pulled into a large arc, and a "creaking" sound kept coming out.
This time, it really felt a bit overwhelming.
Zhang Ze didn't have time to think about whether the fishing rod or the fishing line could withstand it. He was now trying his best to catch the big fish at the bottom of the water. It just depended on who would run out of energy first.
"Huff huff~"
Time passed slowly, and Zhang Ze's breathing became heavier after he had been trying hard for five or six minutes.
Fishing big fish with a stand rod is exciting, but it is also really tiring. Unlike a boat rod, it does not have a drum reel to release the line and cushion the fish. This rod can only be used hard. If you relax a little, the fish may break the line and escape.
No fisherman would let go once he has caught a big fish. Even if the fishing rod explodes and the fisherman is dragged into the water and drowns, he will never let go.
Zhang Ze didn’t know what kind of fish he caught, but this fish was really fierce. It felt even more powerful than the 40-pound blue carp he caught before.
Although he was very tired at that time, he was almost fifty years old.
But now, he is just over 20 years old and has drunk the spiritual spring, which is the time when a man is at his most vigorous.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, the fish stopped to rest for longer and longer periods of time, and its strength became weaker and weaker. Zhang Ze was sweating profusely, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
He didn't even feel proud for a second. The next moment, with a "crack", Zhang Ze suddenly took two steps back and almost fell to the ground, holding a broken bamboo pole in his hand.
The fishing rod exploded, and the fish instantly ran away dragging the broken fishing rod.
"Damn it!" Zhang Ze reacted and angrily threw the broken pole onto the deck.
It was a big fish weighing at least forty or fifty kilograms. How could he sleep for the next few days?
I sat on the deck and panted for a long time, purely out of anger.
It was not until he heard shouts in the distance that Zhang Ze got up, kicked the broken fishing rod aside, and went to the cockpit to start the boat.
When the boat arrived at the reef, Zhang Ze saw that the whole family was in high spirits, and his depressed mood unconsciously improved a lot.
The fact that the fish had run away was already a fact. After seeing his family, he adjusted his mood so as not to affect them with his mood.
It was Tong Yuanhang who jumped onto the boat first, and then picked up the women one by one.
After everyone came up, Zhang Ze drove the boat to the waters opposite the beach, dropped the anchor and turned off the engine, then came to the deck and asked, "How was the harvest?"
"There are so many good things, look." Tong Yuanhang smiled and kicked the bamboo basket next to him.
Zhang Ze leaned over to take a look and found that they had pried open a lot of oysters, as well as some scallops and sea urchins, and even more swimming crabs.
The bamboo basket was full. He would probably be full just by eating these seafoods in the evening, not to mention that he also had some vermicelli to go with the scallops.
Just when he was about to arrange for everyone to help, Tong Shuyao spotted the broken pole that was kicked under the side of the boat.
She hadn't yet recognized that it was a fishing rod, so she went over and picked it up curiously.
The more she looked at it, the more familiar it felt.
The next moment, she was startled, as if she had discovered what it was, so she held up the broken rod and asked, "Aze, isn't this your fishing rod? Why is it broken?"
"Oh, I caught a big fish, but the fishing rod exploded." When the matter was brought up again, Zhang Ze couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"Exploded? Are you hurt?" Tong Shuyao exclaimed. Before Zhang's mother could say anything of concern, she had already come in front of him and looked him up and down, as if she was afraid that he was hurt somewhere.
Zhang Ze stared at his wife in front of him in a daze. Is this what it feels like to have someone keeping an eye on you?
This feeling seems a little different from that of family members, but it is equally warm.
After checking and finding that he was not injured, Tong Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, he was not injured."
"I'm fine, the fish just ran away." Zhang Ze had a bright smile on his face, and the bad mood caused by the fish running away disappeared instantly.
Tong Yuanhang stood by and opened his mouth. He had an inexplicable feeling. How could he feel full even though he hadn't eaten dinner? "Mom, chop the garlic I bought into small pieces. Qian, Qing, and Shuyao, you guys go wash the side dishes." With so many people watching, Zhang Ze didn't continue to flirt with Tong Shuyao. After coming to his senses, he arranged for everyone to start working.
He took a few men to wash oysters, scallops, etc. The scrubber they had bought earlier came in handy. These kinds of physical and troublesome work were suitable for men.
Fortunately, there were many people and everything was cleaned up in no time.
Then they continued to use a knife to open the shells of the oysters and scallops and put them aside. There were not many sea urchins, so he cut them open with scissors and let the women slowly take out the internal organs.
The mullet and conger eel in the live water tank were also killed and will be grilled later.
As for the swimming crabs, after soaking in sea water for most of the time, they should have spit out a lot of sand. I will give them to Zhang's mother later to make five-spice swimming crabs.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She had been cooking it every day for the past few days, and Zhang Wu was almost tired of it. But she had already mastered the heat and taste, and the five-spice crab she cooked tasted much better than what Zhang Ze had made on the first day.
However, he has now lit the charcoal and is ready to start grilling, which is also something Zhang's mother needs to learn, so the crabs were put aside to continue spitting out the sand while she learned how to grill first.
"Mom, grilling oyster scallops is actually very simple. The key is to stir-fry this garlic sauce."
Zhang Ze and Zhang's mother came to the cabin kitchen and began to teach her how to stir-fry garlic sauce, and even divided it into non-spicy and slightly spicy.
Basically people here can't eat spicy food, so the garlic sauce should be slightly spicy, just a little bit spicy when eaten.
After a while, a rich aroma of garlic rose in the kitchen, which made people's appetite increase just by smelling it.
After tasting the garlic paste with a spoon, Zhang's mother was surprised. She didn't expect the garlic paste to be so fragrant. How could anything not be delicious when roasted with this thing?
Carrying two plates of garlic sauce back to the deck, Zhang Ze started to make barbecue for everyone.
The temperature on the gradually darkening sea surface gradually dropped. The sea breeze could take away a lot of temperature, but it could not take away the hot food that the group of people on the deck were eating.
Tong Yuanhang swore that he had never eaten anything so delicious. He didn't expect that these oysters and scallops that everyone usually disliked would taste so good.
And that garlic sauce, he thought he could just eat it all and have it as a meal.
He didn't know how Zhang Ze could think of so many things. Not to mention grilled oysters and scallops, even the conger eels and mullets that he didn't normally eat tasted so good after being grilled by him.
There is also something called sea urchin steamed egg. This carbon ball-like thing is actually edible! What surprised him most was the big pot of five-spice swimming crab made by Zhang's mother. Even the dogs in their village would not eat swimming crab. Unexpectedly, it became a top delicacy in the hands of others.
Once you tear the hind legs, a large piece of crab meat can be torn off and then dipped in the soup. The taste is simply amazing.
Zhang Ze didn't expect everyone to be so resourceful. A whole bamboo basket of seafood was eaten up completely.
But the oysters and scallops are all on the shell, so if you think about it, there is not much. So he finally asked Zhang's mother to blanch all the vermicelli and mix it with the swimming crab soup so that everyone can eat enough.
The three brothers of the Tong family licked all the soup in the basin clean. Zhang Qinghe wanted to lick it too, but in the end he didn't have the courage to snatch it from them.
