"If there are just as many fish later, at this rate of catching fish, one or two thousand catties should be no problem."
Feng Ye patted the scroll wheel and continued, "This machine was worth the money, and we'll break even today."
"Yes, with the machine, hauling the net is much faster and less tiring."
Ah-Can laughed and continued, "If we could have this much stock every day, that would be great. We could easily earn a thousand or eight hundred yuan a day."
The two chatted as they packed up the net.
The sun hung high in the sky, and the sea breeze carried a slight chill, but it did not dampen their enthusiasm.
As the fishing nets were pulled in one by one, their catch grew larger and larger, filling basket after basket.
"Holy crap, a giant cucumber... haha... I actually caught a cucumber fish..."
Suddenly, Feng Ye shouted with delight.
"A big cucumber?"
Upon hearing this, Ah-Can stopped what he was doing and looked up.
On the corner of the fishing net that had just emerged from the water, a silvery-white fish was struggling fiercely, its tail slapping against the net surface with a "slap slap" sound.

"Damn, you were right, you really caught a cucumber fish in the net."
Ah-chan was so excited that he danced around.
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. I called it divine prophecy, okay?"
Feng Ye rolled his eyes and carefully pulled the large yellow croaker onto the boat using the spinning wheel.
"What kind of divine prophecy is this? You just stepped in dog poop and got lucky."
Ah-Can retorted without mincing words, while quickly stepping forward to untie it from the net and weighing it in his hand.
"Goodness, this is huge, it weighs over three pounds."
"Selling it for four or five hundred yuan is no problem. This one fish will make back the money I spent on the reel."
"It's a pity there's only one. If only we could have encountered a school of yellow croakers."
Ah-Can couldn't help but sigh.
He recalled the first time he went out to sea on Feng Ye's small wooden boat.
"Be content. You're lucky to have caught even one. Dreaming of a school of yellow croakers is just wishful thinking."
"hey-hey……"
Ah-chan realized he had been a bit greedy and smiled sheepishly.
