"Just kidding."
Feng Ye laughed loudly, "I wouldn't eat shark meat either."
"So why are you keeping this great white shark instead of selling it?"
Xiao Guowen asked curiously.
"Hehe, I'm going to offer it to the Goddess Mazu."
"Huh? Offering it to the Goddess Mazu?"
All three were quite surprised by this answer.
"Yes, it's offered to Mazu, the goddess of the sea."
Feng Ye repeated firmly, then said, "As the goddess of the sea, it's not unreasonable for Mazu to have a fish as her mount, is it?"
"Not at all, not at all."
"That's a good idea."
"Yes, that's a great idea."
"However, this means you won't get any commission from this fish."
"Look at what you're saying! You're willing to spend hundreds of dollars, but do you think we're stingy with a few dollars? Don't you agree?"
"That's right, don't say it's just a few dollars, I'd be happy with more."
"That's right, since Mazu protects us, we naturally have to show our gratitude."
"If there are no objections, then let's make it a pleasant decision."
Feng Ye then went to the driver's seat and told A-Can about his plans.
Ah-chan naturally agreed without hesitation.
This trip to the island in the sea has earned me enough; what are a few hundred dollars?
Moreover, since we are all believers of Mazu, and the Mazu Temple is being expanded, it is only right to offer some sacrifices to Mazu.
Both ships were traveling at top speed...
I don't know how far we sailed, but I estimate it was at least several nautical miles before we gradually slowed down to maintain the most economical speed.
There's no need to rush; every little bit saved counts.
Moreover, maintaining high-speed navigation all the time is not good for the machine; it can easily break down and shorten its lifespan.
The raindrops pattered incessantly, falling steadily without any sign of stopping.
It neither grew bigger nor smaller.
Fortunately, although the thunder was still ringing, no more lightning struck.
Moreover, the wind and waves were not large, so they did not dock and continued to sail south along the coastline.
The sky was terribly gloomy; it was still afternoon, but it felt like evening.
After sorting the fish and carrying them into the cabin, everyone sat down to continue playing cards.
As Feng Ye drew his cards, he glanced at the sky outside and muttered, "This sky looks really scary, with all the thunder. It's like someone is undergoing a tribulation to become an immortal..."
"Perhaps it's that great white shark undergoing its tribulation?"
Xiao Guowen smiled and added a comment.
"Damn, you're absolutely right. Isn't that the catastrophe of the great white shark?"
Feng Ye nodded. "It's really not easy to grow that big. Weighing two or three thousand jin, it's about time for us to leap over the dragon gate. It's just that we failed to transcend the tribulation, which is a good thing for us."
Du Minhui joined in, cheerfully saying, "To be precise, it should have survived the heavenly tribulation, but not the human tribulation."
"Do you think this great white shark that has survived the tribulation will taste better? Will eating it have any health benefits, especially in terms of tonifying the kidneys?"
As soon as Xiao Yunhu said this, all three of them turned to look at him, leaving him completely bewildered.
"What are you doing? Why are you staring at me like that?"
The three of them said in unison, "You have kidney deficiency?"
"No, nothing like that..."
Xiao Yunhu hurriedly shook his head, shaking it like a rattle drum.
No man would admit to having kidney deficiency.
This is a man's last act of defiance.
No one asked him why he needed to take kidney tonics.
We've all been there. If you don't fix it while you're young, are you going to wait until you're too weak to even pee your shoes before you do?
"Haha, that's quite a novel idea."
Xiao Guowen said jokingly, "You can take two pieces of meat back and try it."
Xiao Yunhu was genuinely tempted for a moment, but after thinking it over, he shook his head and refused, saying, "Forget it, shark meat is too disgusting, I'd rather not suffer through it."
Feng Ye said with a smile, "Cousin, you can actually give it a try. Shark meat really does have kidney-tonifying effects."
"Really?"
All three of them were surprised.
"Indeed, in traditional Chinese medicine theory, shark meat is regarded as a precious medicinal material. It is sweet and neutral in nature, and enters the spleen and stomach meridians. It has the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing yin, tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang, and promoting diuresis and resolving phlegm."
"Damn, when did you learn all this? You didn't make this up, did you?"
Xiao Guowen looked at his face suspiciously.
Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go back and ask around to see if it's true.
Seeing that Feng Ye didn't seem to be lying, some people began to believe him.
Xiao Yunhu sighed, "This shark meat is so disgusting, yet it actually has kidney-tonifying effects!"
Feng Ye said, "There is no necessary connection between taste and efficacy. Chinese medicine may taste bad, but it can cure diseases."
"That's true, otherwise why would there be the saying that good medicine tastes bitter?"
Xiao Yunhu nodded. "But forget it. There are plenty of things that can nourish the kidneys. There's no need to eat shark meat."
"Exactly, wouldn't it be better to eat sea cucumbers or oysters? Why torture yourself by eating such unpalatable food?"
Du Minhui echoed this sentiment.
Xiao Guowen also said, "Soaking starfish, seahorse, and sea snake in alcohol is also good; it can also nourish the kidneys."
"When it comes to dietary supplements, bull penis is the best, and it works quickly, but it's relatively hard to buy."
"Have you eaten there?"
"No, I heard it from someone..."
"I don't believe you."
"If you don't believe me, fine, just hurry up and play your card."
The four of them played cards until dark before they had to stop.
There were no lights on the boat, and it was inconvenient to play cards while wearing a headlamp.
After cooking and eating dinner, everyone went to bed.
It was still raining outside, so I had to stay in the cabin and sleep even if I couldn't.
Feng Ye didn't know how long he had slept when he was woken up by the urge to urinate.
He reached for the flashlight, glanced at his watch, and realized it was already past three o'clock.
It was his turn to steer the boat again.
After getting dressed and stepping out of the cabin, I found it was still raining.
In an instant, he retreated back into the cabin, grabbed an umbrella, opened it, and only then dared to step out of the cabin.
He first relieved himself of the urine he had been holding in, and then went to the wheelhouse to relieve Xiao Guowen, who was steering the boat.
During the day, Xiao Yunhu and Du Minhui could drive it, but they dared not do it at night.
Especially on this rainy night, he, A-Can, and Xiao Guowen had to take turns driving.
At three in the morning, it was pitch black; there wasn't a single ray of light.
They could only rely on a headlamp for illumination and a compass to determine direction.
