"Isn't sea catfish good?"
"It's only slightly better than freshwater catfish, but it has a strong fishy smell and poor meat quality. It's only suitable for braising or drying. The key is that it's incredibly cheap."
"Oh, I thought it was something good."
“When spring comes and he lays his eggs, they will be quite a good thing, but let’s forget about it for now.”
As Feng Ye spoke, he turned the reel to reel in the line.
He felt that the fish being sucked by the remora was quite heavy, much larger than the previous sea catfish.
This remora's suction power is truly impressive. Even though its dorsal fin was being pulled painfully, it clung tightly to its suckers and wouldn't let go.
This meant that no matter how much the creature that hitched a ride struggled, it was all in vain, and it was pulled out of the water in no time.
"Wow, what a huge red bag."
Qin Aijun exclaimed in surprise, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
Hao Aiguo also turned his gaze to the sea, surprised: "Luckily, your jinx didn't come true this time."
"Hehe, not bad, it weighs about 40 jin. Mr. Qin, you'd better give me a good price."
Feng Ye happily pulled the red snapper to the side of the boat.
He really hoped that Hao Aiguo could catch a red snapper in the next few days, because then the price would be higher.
Qin Aijun would pay at least 10 yuan per fish, so he could earn 400 yuan or more from just one fish.
"No problem, no problem."
Qin Aijun was also quite happy.
After all, whoever catches the fish will ultimately sell it to him.
This size of red snapper is considered extremely large and very rare.
But he was also very frustrated, watching others stock up on goods.
The big red fish had just been pulled up and was still being bled and drained when Hao Aiguo's side started making noise again.
"Huh... I think I'm pregnant again..."
"Damn...did you two really step in dog poop before you came out, taking turns catching fish? Why isn't anything happening on my end?"
Hao Aiguo joked, "Maybe the feng shui of that spot isn't good either. Why don't you change your location?"
“That makes sense. I’ll try another one.”
Qin Aijun listened attentively, walked over to the fishing rod, and picked it up.
"Mr. Qin, perhaps you're not suited to fishing with remora. How about you use bait instead?"
Feng Ye gave a suggestion.
"Damn it, I don't believe in this nonsense."
Qin Aijun insisted, "I'll try a different spot. If it still doesn't work, I'll use bait."
As he spoke, he turned the reel, preparing to haul the remora up and move it to a different spot.
After only a few turns, the line taut, and he also felt the weight was off.
He was overjoyed: "Haha, the wheel of fortune turns, and it's finally my turn."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye and Hao Aiguo both turned their gazes in surprise.
"Old Qin, are you pregnant?"
"Mr. Qin, congratulations on your grand opening!"
"Ha ha……"
Qin Aijun's face was beaming with pride as he gripped the fishing rod tightly, feeling the tenacity emanating from the seabed.
However, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
No matter what the remora sucks up, there should be some kind of commotion!
Surprisingly, there was no sign of struggle coming from the fishing rod.
Moreover, it was quite heavy at first, but became much lighter later on.
This left him somewhat confused, unsure of what was going on.
"Whatever, maybe the fish is just a little small. Let's pull it up and take a look."
Qin Aijun could only console himself with this thought as he turned the reel once more.
However, after he was pulled out of the water, he was in a terrible state.
On the surface of the sea, the remora were not attaching to moving creatures, but rather to inanimate objects.
The object it was sucking in was a porcelain vase.
"Hahaha, a vase! You actually caught a vase! Hahaha..."
Hao Aiguo laughed so hard he almost fell over.
Feng Ye also found it somewhat amusing.
Isn't this comparable to those fishermen of later generations?
It is said that some anglers are very skilled; they can catch anything except fish.
For example, various kinds of garbage, ebony wood, antiques, animals such as rats, inflatable dolls...
They can even fish up dead people.
Wait, an antique?
Feng Ye paused for a moment, then widened his eyes and stared intently at the vase that was being sucked up by the remora.
The surface of the vase has been eroded by seawater, leaving it dull and without any luster.
Clearly, it must have spent a considerable amount of time at the bottom of the sea.
It might actually be an antique.
"Damn, there's all sorts of things in the sea."
Qin Aijun was extremely frustrated and grabbed the fishing line, intending to smash the remora, along with the vase, onto the yacht.
He didn't want the remora anymore.
He felt they were incompatible and wanted to kill it.
Seeing this, Feng Ye quickly shouted to stop him: "President Qin, no, pull him up and take a look first."
"It's just a vase, what's so interesting about it?"
Although Qin Aijun said that, he stopped what he was doing.
"Xiao Feng, did you figure something out?"
Seeing Feng Ye's serious expression, Hao Aiguo asked curiously.
"President Qin, County Chief Hao, I'm wondering if this vase might be an antique?"
"What? Antiques?"
The two were stunned for a moment, then their eyes were focused on the vase that was being sucked up by the remora.
"You know what, it's actually quite possible. This place is far from the coast; it might just be on top of a shipwreck."
Hao Aiguo's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed with Feng Ye's guess.
"Whether it is or not, pull it up and let's see."
Without further hesitation, Qin Aiguo turned the reel again, pulling the remora and the vase onto the boat together.
