Looking at this big guy, Grandpa Chen felt particularly happy.
The old man stood beside the plump grouper, excitedly watching his well-behaved and capable granddaughter:
"Tangtang, quickly take a picture of me and this big baby!"
"Okay, okay!"
Chen Zhiyao skillfully took out her phone and recorded this exciting moment. In the photo, Grandpa Chen is holding the giant grouper in his arms, his face beaming with joy.
Although he didn't catch the fish, he did scoop it up himself, so it's practically the fish he caught.
The old man wasn't satisfied with just standing there taking pictures; he grinned and kept changing poses.
Because he was laughing so hard, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have become deeper, and he had a lot more wrinkles.
Grandma Chen saw that the fish was about to die, but the old man was still messing around, so she couldn't help but scold him:
"You old geezer, you've killed the fish! Hurry up and put it down so someone can come and bleed it."
Grandpa Chen wasn't angry. He smiled and retorted, "I just wanted Tangtang to take better pictures."
Since the fish was going to die anyway, Grandpa Chen got even more excited, striking all sorts of funny poses that made everyone laugh.
Amidst laughter, Chen Zhiyao pressed the shutter, capturing this joyful moment.
Grandpa Chen put the fish down, and immediately the boat crew came over to help bleed it.
Deep-sea fish are different from the near-shore fish that you usually catch. The air pressure in the deep sea is much stronger, and these fish can't adapt to the outside air pressure. They basically die as soon as they are brought out of the water.
Therefore, these deep-sea fish must be bled immediately after being taken out of the water and then placed in a freezer to be kept frozen.
Before bleeding the fish, the staff even weighed it, and soon a cheerful announcement came over the boat:
"Congratulations to the angler at fishing spot number 3 for catching a seven-banded grouper weighing 42 jin!"
"Congratulations to number 3..." The announcement was repeated three times to ensure that everyone on the ship heard it.
This is the first piece of good news we've broadcast today—the first big fish on the boat.
At this moment, all the anglers on the boat seemed to be ignited, and they all turned their envious eyes to fishing spot number 3.
Under the lemon tree, everyone is incredibly sour.
Chen Zhiyao had just gone to weigh the fish, and when she returned to her fishing spot, she realized that it was already dawn.
The sky and sea were dyed pink, looking quite romantic and beautiful. The pink sea gurgled and swelled!
Having spent the better part of an hour playing with the fish, her stomach was now rumbling with hunger.
"I'm so hungry. I wonder if breakfast is ready in the kitchen yet?"
Touching her rumbling stomach, Chen Zhiyao lost all interest in fishing.
She put down her fishing rod and walked briskly towards the ship's restaurant.
At this moment, a wide wooden table was laden with all sorts of steaming hot breakfast dishes.
Freshly made millet porridge, stir-fried noodles and rice noodles with a strong wok hei (wok aroma), steaming boiled sweet potatoes and boiled eggs, and plump white steamed buns in various flavors.
Breakfast is served buffet style; you can take as much as you want, with the only requirement being that you cannot waste food and you cannot take it outside the restaurant.
Chen Zhiyao picked up a plate with a grin and muttered to herself:
"This breakfast looks good, much better than last time I came. It seems the 1,000 yuan increase in boat fare wasn't for nothing."
Half a bowl of millet porridge, a small bowl of fried rice noodles, a boiled egg, and a meat bun.
Soon, Chen Zhiyao chose what she wanted to eat and quickly found an empty table to sit down.
As soon as she put down the plate, she took several photos and sent them to her family group chat.
"There's a buffet breakfast at the restaurant, but you can't take it outside. Come and have breakfast quickly."
Chen Zhiyao took a bite of the meat bun, then added with a smile:
"The taste is not bad."
Just then, Yan Shuting caught a sea bass and pulled it ashore. As soon as she took the hook off, she felt her phone vibrate.
When I took it out and looked at it, I was immediately tempted by the breakfast my daughter had posted.
They'd been fishing for so long they'd almost forgotten they hadn't had breakfast yet.
I didn't feel hungry while fishing, but when I saw something delicious, I realized my stomach had been rumbling for a long time.
"This breakfast looks good. Let's go over there now."
At this time, apart from Chen Weiqiang who was still fishing, the other three were all free.
"Tangtang said the restaurant has a buffet breakfast, and it tastes pretty good. Let's go have breakfast there quickly."
"Okay, I've been hungry for a long time." With that, Grandpa Chen put away his fishing rod.
"Let's go, we've been fishing for so long, we're really hungry," Grandma Chen said with a smile in a low voice.
The three of them abandoned Chen Weiqiang and went to a restaurant for breakfast together, chatting and laughing.
Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Chen Weiqiang muttered in dissatisfaction:
"What's the rush? Can't you wait for me?"
But no one replied to him, and in the blink of an eye, the person had already walked away.
After getting his breakfast, Grandpa Chen excitedly asked Chen Zhiyao to send him the photos he had just taken.
"Okay!" he said, picking up his phone and sending all the dozen or so photos he had just taken.
Grandma Chen, who was sitting to the side, sipped her millet porridge and began to jokingly criticize:
"You shameless old man, the fish was clearly caught by your granddaughter, and you still have the nerve to post it outside and show it off to others."
"I even caught this fish myself." The old man didn't care; he was entitled to a share of the fish.
Besides, who knows who actually caught the fish? How many of the photos posted in the group are actually photos of other people's catches?
Grandpa Chen munched on a steamed bun while carefully selecting the wonderful photos he had just taken.
Immediately afterwards, he skillfully opened the fishing group and sent out all the photos without hesitation.
After posting, he went to the large family group chat to continue stirring up envy, making Chen Daqiang and Chen Hu extremely envious.
The father and son secretly hoped that the old man would either unhook or break the line later.
After sending all the photos, Grandpa Chen leaned back in his chair and ate his breakfast leisurely, while slyly peeking at the screen with his phone.
At that moment, the fishing group erupted in chaos.
Looking at the photos sent by Grandpa Chen, those fishing enthusiasts who usually considered themselves fishing experts stared wide-eyed, feeling both envious and jealous.
Even worse are the anglers who are still at work; they feel like a million ants are crawling all over them, making them unbearably itchy.
But they still had to earn a pitiful living, so they could only continue working, looking pathetic.
The action-oriented rich kids had already grabbed their fishing rods and headed out fishing.
Although Chen Daqiang and Chen Hu were incredibly envious, they were still quite happy that their fishing boat had received many more reservations.
After finishing breakfast, Chen Zhiyao remembered the bet she made with her father.
Now that the fishing boat service has been upgraded, there's no need to spend extra money on meals. I estimate that the only expense for the whole day will be the late-night snack.
Chen Zhiyao immediately felt she had lost out; she should have said she would treat everyone to a big meal when they got back.
