When Chen Zhiyao returned from the kitchen, she could see from afar that her fishing rod was leaking line and that the rod was slightly deformed.
"They've caught fish again so soon?" Chen Zhiyao excitedly jogged over.
Luckily it was just a small fish, otherwise the fishing rod would probably have been dragged away.
As soon as she picked up the fishing rod, she felt a slight drag. Based on her experience fishing these past few days, she estimated it to be a small fish weighing less than a pound.
Chen Zhiyao played with the fish for a while, and in less than two minutes, the stalemate between the two fish came to an end.
A small, pink red sea bream was flown up by her.
"It's red sea bream again. I guess there's a school of eagles down there."
Chen Zhiyao quickly removed the fishhook and threw the small fish, which weighed only about nine ounces, into the live fish bucket.
Thinking of the fish below, he quickened his movements and cast the hook into the water again.
About a minute later, I felt a light tug on the fishing rod.
Based on the fish's habits and strength, Chen Zhiyao immediately guessed that it was another red sea bream.
With another sharp tug, Chen Zhiyao calmly began to play the fish, a carefree and flamboyant smile on her face.
"Haha, this guy probably weighs about two pounds."
This fish costs over 50 yuan per jin (500g), so two jin would be 100 yuan. It's as easy as picking up money.
The difference in strength between the human and the fish was too great, and the little creature in the sea quickly became exhausted.
Chen Zhiyao quickly spun the fishing reel, and soon a pinkish-red sea bream leaped out of the water.
This thing shines brightly in the sunlight; it's very beautiful.
However, it fell back into the water in the blink of an eye, creating a wave half a meter high.
This guy was just making a last-ditch effort and was quickly thrown onto the deck by her.
Looking at the two-pound red sea bream, Chen Zhiyao's lips curled up slightly, her face full of a smug and joyful smile.
After catching three red sea bream in a row, Chen Zhiyao quickly attracted the attention of the fishermen on the boat again.
Soon, everyone learned that there was a school of red sea bream nearby, and they stopped being envious and switched their bottom fishing hooks to smaller ones.
The people at fishing spots number 2 and 4 even quietly moved closer to where Chen Zhi was fishing, hoping to get some of her luck.
When Chen Zhiyao caught another red sea bream weighing nearly three pounds, people nearby also started catching fish, and most of them were red sea bream.
My sister-in-law, holding her phone, excitedly circled the boat. When she saw the several large red sea bream in her bucket, she couldn't resist stopping.
The phone was constantly pointed at the several rather attractive fish in the live fish bucket.
Shen Qingmei held her phone up to the sea, then turned to chat with Chen Zhiyao with a cheerful smile:
"Tangtang, your fishing skills are pretty good, and you're also very beautiful. Why don't you join me for a live stream?"
Chen Zhiyao, who was reeling in the fish, quickly shook her head, a hint of panic on her face:
"Sister-in-law, I can't do it. Don't let my usual eloquence fool you, my face is stiff when I take pictures, let alone in front of the camera. I probably can't even speak properly."
In her mother's words, she's a bully at home, always chattering away, but she becomes a coward when she's outside.
When asked to speak to the camera, she completely freezes.
Moreover, she's making quite a bit of money from beachcombing and fishing, so she has no interest in live streaming.
Shen Qingmei looked regretful. She really liked this little cousin. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also lively and well-behaved.
I remembered that I have a single cousin. Should I introduce them to each other?
Chen Zhiyao focused intently on reeling in the line and soon caught another red sea bream weighing nearly two pounds.
As for Shen Qingmei's intention to play matchmaker, she had no interest in it at all; men would only affect her earning speed.
Chen Zhiyao caught fish one after another. Although these red sea bream were not very big, there were so many of them.
Most importantly, the price is also very good.
Half an hour later, the bucket of live fish next to Chen Zhiyao's feet was crammed with two or three pounds of red sea bream, at least ten of them.
However, the fishing speed slowed down significantly this time. It took nearly 10 minutes before Chen Zhiyao's fishing rod made a sound again.
The drag on the rod head was very slight, and the reel barely moved.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhiyao caught a small red sea bream weighing about eight ounces in just a few strokes.
However, after waiting for another 10 minutes or so, no more fish were caught; the fish below had probably escaped.
She took out her phone and saw that it was already 11 o'clock. Shen Qingmei, who was live streaming next to her, had already finished her broadcast and was taking some small fish that her uncle had caught to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Realizing that she hadn't bought a boat ticket, Chen Zhiyao consciously followed into the kitchen to help.
The red sea bream that had just been slapped in the face was then personally cooked into steamed red sea bream by her. Its death wasn't entirely unjust.
Steamed red sea bream
For lunch, Shen Qingmei made braised sea bream, mixed fish stew, celery stir-fried with squid, and stir-fried broccoli.
After the food was prepared, the two packed nine portions of food into takeout containers and distributed them to the people fishing outside.
Then the family members would stay at the small table in the kitchen to eat.
The various seafood dishes served for lunch were all freshly caught that morning, and they tasted quite good.
Chen Zhiyao, who was starving, ate three large bowls of rice in one go.
After lunch, Chen Feng went to wash the dishes, while Chen Zhiyao returned to her fishing spot and began fishing in the afternoon.
The sea was calm in the afternoon, and the fish seemed to be taking a nap. Chen Zhiyao sat for 20 minutes, but her fishing rod didn't move at all.
Chen Zhiyao yawned, switched back to her new fishing rod, and prepared to fish for big fish in the bottom waters.
Catching a red sea bream in the morning is quite exciting, but it's still not as thrilling and exciting as catching a big fish weighing ten or twenty pounds.
However, half an hour passed and the new fishing rod still showed no signs of movement.
And she wasn't the only one complaining; everyone else on the boat was also saying the fishing was bad.
At this moment, the uncle got up, went into the driver's seat, and steered the fishing boat back.
About 20 minutes later, the fishing boat stopped on a stretch of sea that looked much like the one before.
Just then, the loudspeaker above Chen Zhiyao's head started playing again.
"Distinguished guests, a small school of fish has been detected in this area of the sea."
"Distinguished guests,..."
Chen Zhiyao, who was already sitting on the deck playing on her phone, immediately put both fishing rods to use.
The new fishing rod uses a large hook, while the old rod is fitted with a size 3 hook, in preparation for catching small fish in the upper layers.
Chen Zhiyao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug and radiant smile:
"If the upper and lower water layers are dried up at the same time, as long as there are fish here, they will definitely not be able to escape."
Less than two minutes later, a sound came from the old pole on the right.
The fishing line suddenly became taut, and the reel slowly released the line, indicating that it was a small fish.
Even though it was just a small fish, the pulling sensation from the fishing rod still excited Chen Zhiyao, her face beaming with excitement.
Feeling that the pull wasn't very strong, Chen Zhiyao calmly reeled in the line, and in less than a minute, a very beautiful fish was pulled out of the sea.
The fish wasn't big, probably only about eight ounces. Its body was white with nine orange-yellow diagonal stripes, making it very beautiful and eye-catching.
Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Good heavens, it's actually a three-knife fish! This kind of fish costs several hundred yuan per kilogram!"
Three-knife fish
Upon hearing that it was a three-knife fish, people nearby all looked over, their faces full of envy and longing.
