Knowing his daughter was lucky, Chen Weiqiang didn't ask her to buy any bait for groundbaiting.
Since we're just hitching a ride on a boat anyway, there's no need to spend the money.
Chen Zhiyao also asked for an extra-large fishing net, the one she usually uses, which had a big hole torn in it yesterday by a sea wolf.
Thinking that the coarse-mesh adhesive net was broken, she picked out a 500-meter one instead.
Just like before, it's a net that can catch fish weighing three or four pounds or more.
The items didn't look like much, but they cost Chen Zhiyao several thousand yuan, and that was even after a discount.
Fishing can be profitable, but the costs are ridiculously high. Especially fishing rods, which can easily cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was about to pay, Chen Hu called.
"Tangtang, are you still at the fishing tackle shop? While you're at it, could you pick out a fishing rod for me too? Just the same one as yours will do."
“Sure, my dad recommended a sea fishing rod to me, and I think it’s pretty good. You can catch fish up to 80 pounds easily.”
When Chen Hu heard that he could catch any fish weighing up to 80 jin (40 catties), he was tempted and decided on the spot to catch one too.
However, when I heard that the fishing rod was still 3300 yuan even after the discount, I immediately felt a pang of heartache.
The money he earned from fishing these past two days isn't even enough to buy half a fishing rod.
Chen Hu always knew that fishing gear was expensive, but he never expected it to be this pricey.
However, he couldn't catch a wolf without risking his cub, so he eventually transferred the money to Chen Zhiyao and asked for a sea fishing rod and a squid rod.
It's still drizzling outside, and there are only the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson in the entire fishing tackle shop; we haven't seen a single customer.
The three chatted and drank tea for a while, and then it was lunchtime.
Chen Zhiyao recently made a lot of money from beachcombing and fishing, and immediately decided to treat the two of them to the seafood buffet they mentioned last time.
She still keeps thinking about this.
Humans are strange like that; they always think about what they can't have.
Besides, she's a person with a system now, so it's not unreasonable for her to treat herself, right?
“My daughter is so generous. Let’s go now. It’s raining now and there are fewer people, so we don’t have to wait for a table.”
Chen Weiqiang was the most enthusiastic; he immediately picked up his car keys, grinning as he prepared to close the door and go eat.
Grandpa Chen had been frugal his whole life and originally wouldn't have been willing to spend over 200 yuan on this buffet.
But considering that his granddaughter had indeed been earning a lot of money recently, he didn't want to spoil the mood and happily went to eat at the buffet.
Chen Zhiyao found the page she had saved before and immediately bought three tickets for the buffet.
The price is the same as before, 228 yuan per person, all you can eat: seafood, barbecue, and fruit.
The seafood restaurant was a bit far from the fishing tackle shop; it took Chen Weiqiang 20 minutes to drive there.
I guess it was because of the rain, there weren't many people even though it was mealtime.
The grandfather, his grandson, and his granddaughter chose a table by the window, and then each took a tray to get their food.
The first place Chen Zhiyao went to was the Xiao Qinglong area.
However, she was somewhat disappointed with the small green dragons here; they were all small, weighing at most half a pound each.
Moreover, it is cut in half, with each serving of small green lobster containing only half a lobster.
Each person is limited to one serving of small green lobsters. After thinking for a moment, she finally ordered a steamed one.
Steaming brings out the original sweetness and freshness of seafood; seafood cooked with strong flavors is usually not fresh.
Then she went to the seafood area, where there was abalone, prawns, oysters, crabs, various shellfish and conch, quite a lot of things.

The dazzling array of seafood made Chen Zhiyao's eyes dazzle.
However, since it's a buffet, you have to eat your fill, so Chen Zhiyao headed straight for the expensive seafood.
She took a lot of abalone, prawns, swimming crabs, and blue crabs, and shamelessly declared that she would teach the boss a lesson.
After wandering around the seafood area, Chen Zhiyao was quite satisfied.
Although they are all farmed and of average size, the seafood here is quite fresh.
When passing by the cooked food section, Chen Zhiyao saw grilled scallops and couldn't resist taking a few more.
Grilled scallops
When she returned, Chen Zhiyao had both hands full of various delicious foods.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang were already cooking various kinds of seafood, and there were several plates of fragrant, freshly roasted meat on the table.
The father and son grew up by the sea and were tired of eating seafood, so they were more interested in barbecue.
Chen Zhiyao put a few abalone and crabs into the pot to cook, and then picked up the long-awaited steamed baby lobster.
"It's delicious. There's a reason why this baby lobster is so expensive."
After finishing the baby lobster, Chen Zhiyao quickly devoured several grilled scallops, which all tasted quite good.
Then she tried the grilled meat on the table, which was just average; she still preferred seafood.
Before long, the seafood in the pot was cooked.
After finishing the first round of various seafood, Chen Zhiyao felt that she was almost full.
He was just confidently saying he would bankrupt the boss, but now he's somewhat embarrassed.
Just as she got up to get some fruit, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang had already started cooking the second round of seafood.
The two men thought they shouldn't waste the 200-plus yuan, so they decided to use it for dinner.
The fruit section doesn't have a wide variety of fruits, and most of them are common fruits like apples, bananas, oranges, and watermelons.
As for durian and mangosteen, they were placed in the most remote corner, and they didn't look as fresh and appealing as they did in the pictures, and there were very few of them.
Chen Zhiyao felt she had been deceived and suspected that the positive reviews were fake.
Fruit section
Chen Zhiyao took a box of durians from the refrigerator, and then took seven or eight small mangosteens.
When I passed by the cooked food section, I ordered a freshly baked durian.
In the prepared food section, besides barbecue, there are also many cold dishes and snacks, as well as a large pot of seafood porridge.
The seafood porridge was quite generous with its ingredients; you could clearly see plenty of clams, octopus, squid, and small crabs inside, and it smelled incredibly tempting.
When she returned, Chen Zhiyao had another bowl of seafood porridge on her plate.
After walking around for a while, Chen Zhiyao felt her fighting spirit had returned.
The durian in the refrigerator tasted so-so, but the roasted durian was quite good. The mangosteens weren't very big, but they tasted alright too.
Seeing that his daughter was enjoying her meal, Chen Weiqiang got up and went to get two more portions of roasted durian. Grandpa Chen even brought back the last few mangosteens.
Chen Zhiyao wasn't sure if they got their money's worth, but the three of them seemed to enjoy the meal.
Aside from the small size of the lobsters and the relatively small quantity of durians and mangosteens, everything else was quite good.
When they walked out the door, the three of them, grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter, had eaten so much that their bellies were bulging.
There's a fruit stall right outside the seafood restaurant.
Thinking that her mother and grandmother at home hadn't gotten to eat at the buffet, Chen Zhiyao went to the fruit stand and bought a large durian and some other fruits.
