On the way, Ye Cheng went to the beach and brought Da Huang back with him.
Big Yellow was very unhappy. It had been eating all day, and now it couldn't even have a moment's peace at night.
The dock was much quieter at night. Not many people were returning at this time, but some were going out to sea. The catch was higher at night than during the day, but it was also more dangerous.
Once on the boat, Ye Cheng casually tossed Big Yellow aside, then pulled out the trawl net from the system.
"Let's put this on first."
Xiao Hu immediately understood. "Brother, this is another net you brought, right? It's the same color as those fishing rods and stuff."
“Yes, I used Old Chen’s internet before, but it wasn’t working, so I switched to ours.” Ye Cheng didn’t explain further; explaining the system wouldn’t help anyway.
Xiao Hu didn't ask any more questions. He followed Ye Cheng to change the trawl net, then turned on the lights, and the two went out to sea again. Ye Cheng checked the time; it was already 10 p.m.
I have two hours left, so I need to make the most of that time and download a couple of web pages.
To speed things up, Ye Cheng drove the engine to its maximum speed and arrived at the fishing ground that Duan Chunsheng had told them about during the day.
Regardless of whether it was going smoothly or not, the two quickly put the net down, and then Ye Cheng, with an extremely uneasy feeling, sailed around for half an hour.
"Xiao Hu, haul in the net and take a look." Ye Cheng slowed down the boat, then went to the back and hauled in the net with Xiao Hu.
The winch pulled the rope slowly upwards, and under the light, the two were pleasantly surprised to find that as soon as they came up a little, the water began to calm down.
The splashing water and the fish tails flicking out of the water gave Ye Cheng the illusion of Chagan Lake.
"Brother, there really are fish!"
"Nonsense, I told you I know where the problem is, right? See? Hahaha, this net must weigh at least 100 pounds."
Ye Cheng smiled happily, not caring how much was caught in the net, but mainly proving that the system was still useful.
Because there was too much stuff, the winch started to struggle after pulling out only half of the water, so the two of them helped pull it up.
They hauled in a net full of fish, dumped it on the ground, and it splattered everywhere with fish, their white bellies bouncing wildly on the deck.
"Brother, there are sea bream, bluefin tuna, and also wrasse and threadfin bream, so many!" Little Tiger jumped up and down, afraid of stepping on something.
Big Yellow came over to join the fun. A half-fish tried to escape, but Big Yellow grabbed it and brought it back.
"Hahaha, that's more like it, Little Tiger. Put them in the fish hold first, then we'll cast the net."
Ye Cheng checked the time: 11:20. There was still time; it wouldn't be worth it to stay online.
Xiao Hu started throwing fish into the live water tank, while Ye Cheng began casting the net. After casting, Ye Cheng dashed back to the cockpit and began accelerating.
This time, Ye Cheng planned to go against the ocean current. He turned the steering wheel to the left and suddenly felt something under his feet. He looked down and saw that Da Huang had bitten his trouser leg.
He picked up Big Yellow and asked, "Brother, is there anything you want to say?"
Big Yellow stretched its neck out very long and tilted it to the right.
"Tell me to the right?" Ye Cheng roughly guessed what he meant, turned the direction to the right, and started to pull the net diagonally with the ocean current.
"Brother, is this the right direction?" Ye Cheng patted Da Huang's bald head.
Big Yellow slid down in a flash, ignoring Ye Cheng.
"Damn, she's pretty arrogant."
In the rear hold, it took Xiao Hu more than ten minutes to get all the fish into the tank. Seeing Da Huang sneak out, he came in and asked a question.
"Brother, you're listening to Da Huang again? You're indulging in feudal superstition."
"How can this be called feudal superstition? They've been around this area for so long, they're definitely local big shots, okay? Is it a problem for them to point me in the right direction?"
The night was very dark, and there were a few lights in the distance ahead, probably from people like Ye Cheng and his group who were fishing.
Ye Cheng turned on several more lights to avoid bumping into them.
Ye Cheng hadn't walked this stretch during the day. Following the line pointed out by Da Huang, Ye Cheng pulled the net for 40 minutes. Seeing that there were no fishing boats around, he slowed down the boat and began to haul in the net.
Having laid the groundwork with the first successful attempt, I felt much more at ease this time.
It took a little longer to catch fish than the previous net; we had already pulled up about a third of the way before we started making a splash.
When it was pulled out of the water, the golden yellow in the trawl net dazzled Ye Cheng's titanium alloy eyes.
"Yellow croaker! Brother, so many yellow croaker!" Xiao Hu exclaimed, then looked at Ye Cheng with a nervous expression.
"Brother, these should all be small yellow croakers, right? It can't be this many large yellow croakers, can it? What if..."
Xiao Hu himself was a little nervous and couldn't continue speaking.
Ye Cheng was also nervous. As soon as the gold appeared, Ye Cheng almost couldn't stand up. He looked back at Da Huang. Da Huang, Da Huang, would they really give him so many big yellow croakers?
The answer was quickly revealed. After being hauled up the net and dumped out, Ye Cheng hurriedly picked up a piece of the net and began to read it.
Its body color is not golden, its scales are small, and its tail is thin and long.
Upon seeing those three characteristics, I instantly lost interest.
"I thought it was a big yellow croaker, it's a small yellow croaker."
"Ah, that's alright, bro. If these were big yellow croakers, I feel like I'd go crazy. Would so many big yellow croakers cost millions? How would I spend millions?" Xiao Hu said.
"Look at you, so useless. You won't even be able to buy an apartment with millions. How will you spend it then?"
After giving Xiao Hu a piece of his mind, Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu began to sort through the fish.
Since they're just small yellow croakers, not precious at all, I'll just throw them into the tank; as long as they're alive, that's fine.
Xiao Hu became even more casual, throwing a fish from a distance. Who knew that the fish would flick its tail in mid-air, change direction, land on the deck, and then, with a twist of the handle, jump back into the sea.
"Damn, take it easy, even small yellow croakers cost money." Ye Cheng felt sorry for him.
"Alright, bro, I just slipped, don't worry." Xiao Hu said, but he still obediently took a few steps forward.
These small yellow croakers are of various sizes, most weighing around 1 jin (500 grams), with a few being particularly large, weighing around 2 jin (1 catties).
Ye Cheng picked the biggest ones first, grabbing one at random and about to throw it into the water tank.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. This fish... the color is wrong. This one looks a bit strange.
Could it be that scoundrel?
He looked at them carefully, then picked up a small yellow croaker from the ground, one in each hand.
Now, comparing the two side by side, the difference is immediately apparent.
The big one is golden yellow, with large scales and a thick tail. Its mouth is also wrong; it doesn't have an underbite.
grass!
This is a large yellow croaker!
"Little Tiger, Little Tiger!" Ye Cheng's voice changed with excitement.
Xiao Hu was startled and looked at him as if he were a ghost. "Brother, it's late at night. You're scaring people to death by making such a fuss."
"Big yellow croaker, Little Tiger, big yellow croaker!" Ye Cheng excitedly held up the big yellow croaker in his hand.
