Hearing the laughter, Chen Zhiyao turned around and saw a reddish grouper with red spots on the deck.
Good heavens, isn't that the king of fish, the red-spotted fish?
Although it only weighed a little over a pound, which couldn't compare to the big one she caught last time that weighed over five pounds, it was definitely a red-spotted fish.
Grandpa Chen, who caught the red-spotted fish, was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
He didn't catch it at the old pier last time, but unexpectedly he caught it here.
Meanwhile, Chen Weiqiang, who was standing to the side, threw his fishing rod directly towards the spot where the old man had caught a fish, hoping to try his luck.
Looking at the red-spotted fish that exuded an aura of great value, Chen Zhiyao suddenly slapped her thigh.
"I almost got carried away by the big fish. It's not that the bigger the fish, the more valuable it is. Fish like red grouper, rat grouper, and three-knife fish are the real treasures."
She stopped looking for big fish and hurriedly ran to Chen Weiqiang's side, then cast the bait over.
Grandpa Chen: "..."
The old man, having changed his bait, looked at the father and daughter who had taken his spot with a sullen expression.
Grandpa Chen had a great harvest today, far surpassing others in both the weight and price of his catch.
In a good mood, he didn't argue with the two younger men and turned to go to the fishing spot next to him.
But sometimes luck comes your way, and you can't stop it.
After the father and daughter had been waiting for half an hour without any results,
Grandpa Chen caught three red sea bream weighing over a pound each!
The father and daughter standing nearby had no choice but to admit defeat and silently gave him a thumbs up.
After the alarm clock rang twice, Chen Zhiyao reluctantly steered the boat back to collect the fishing nets.
The competition ended with Grandpa Chen's overwhelming victory.
Chen Zhiyao came in second, while Chen Weiqiang came in last by a margin of half a jin.
The two fishing nets were in similar condition to yesterday; the fine-mesh nets only contained a few small fish such as white pomfret and yellowfin tuna.
The coarse-mesh net fared better; there were a few small bass inside.
However, when Chen Zhiyao had retrieved both nets, she was pleasantly surprised to find...
At the very back of the coarse-mesh net, there was a red-spotted fish weighing nearly two pounds.
"Haha, I didn't catch anything earlier, but I ended up getting caught in a gillnet."
Chen Zhiyao grinned, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth, and deftly untied the red-spotted fish.
As for the crab traps, today's harvest was so-so, with only a few pounds of mud crabs and blue crabs, and the size of the crabs was also quite average.
However, the five fish traps gave her a big surprise.
The first fish trap was quite heavy, containing two large bass weighing over seven pounds each and several sizable cuttlefish.
The second cage was lighter, but it contained three small green dragons, two big and one small, looking like a family of three.
The third fish trap contained a large eel and a sea bass weighing over ten kilograms.
The fourth fish trap contained a more mixed variety of fish, including small lobsters, conger eels, sea bass, and cuttlefish, though they were all rather small.
The last fish trap contained two red-spotted fish, and they were even a bit bigger than the one in the previous net.
Chen Zhiyao was overjoyed to have caught three red-spotted fish in one go.
She did a quick mental calculation and realized that these three red-spotted fish were worth at least 3,000 yuan.
On the way back, Grandpa Chen was in charge of steering the boat, while Chen Zhiyao and her father were responsible for tidying up the fishing nets and crab traps they had just collected.
When she returned to the dock, Chen Zhiyao looked up and saw a beautiful sunset.
Fiery Clouds
However, before she could finish admiring the fish, Mr. Yang, who was eager to see the red-spotted fish, came over to take away the catch.
Apart from sea urchins, a few small fish, and some worthless shellfish, Chen Zhiyao sold all the other seafood.
Two catties of red flower crab cost 62 yuan per catty, totaling 124 yuan. Six catties of octopus and octopus cost 32 yuan per catty, totaling 192 yuan.
Six catties of blue crab, 50 yuan per catty, totaling 300 yuan. Five catties of green crab, 52 yuan per catty, totaling 260 yuan.
Abalone weighs 4 jin (2 catties), at 88 yuan per jin, totaling 352 yuan. Small lobster weighs 6.2 jin (3.6 kg), at 190 yuan per jin, totaling 1178 yuan.
Pearl grouper, 4.5 jin, 36 yuan per jin, total 162 yuan. Sea bass, 28 jin, 36 yuan per jin, total 1008 yuan.
Red sea bream, 20 jin, 56 yuan per jin, total 1120 yuan. Butterflyfish, 2.5 jin, 88 yuan per jin, total 220 yuan.
Spinetail fish, 2.3 jin, 88 yuan per jin, total 203 yuan. Peppered snapper, 2 jin, 65 yuan per jin, total 130 yuan per jin.
Red grouper, 6 jin, 600 yuan per jin, total 3600 yuan. Conger eel, 8 jin, 58 yuan per jin, total 464 yuan.
Chen Zhiyao's total income today is 9313 yuan.
It's clear that seafood prices have dropped somewhat today compared to yesterday.
Chen Zhiyao thought to herself, if the price were still yesterday's, maybe today's income could exceed ten thousand.
But no matter how much she thought about it, it was useless; she couldn't control the price of seafood.
At this point, the points in the system were also updated.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing Level 1, Beachcombing Level 3
Points:
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 10 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: three hours each day for both the land and sea areas.
Beachcombing tools: sand shovel, iron shovel, multi-purpose tongs, spade, 2 live fish buckets, 5 fish traps, water pump, and a first-class lucky fishing rod.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was about to exit the system, Xiao Meng in her mind suddenly spoke:
"Tangtang, you now have over 20,000 points. You can buy two more lucky fishing rods and give them to your family members."
Chen Zhiyao had always thought that the items in the system were only for her own use, but she never expected that they could be given to her family. She excitedly asked:
"If I give the Lucky Fishing Rod to my grandpa and dad, will the bonus be the same? Will the fish they catch count towards their points? Can other people use these things from the system?"
Faced with Chen Zhiyao's barrage of questions, Xiaomeng smiled and explained to her:
"In the system, only fishing rods can be transferred to other people; items from level one to level three can all be transferred."
"Furthermore, the bonus effect of the lucky fishing rod that is given away remains unchanged, and the money earned from selling the fish caught by the recipient will also be converted into your points."
"Haha, then I can earn points while lying down."
As she spoke, Chen Zhiyao immediately opened the system's shop and, without a second's hesitation, placed an order for two level-one lucky fishing rods.
At this point, the points page was updated again.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing Level 1, Beachcombing Level 3
Points: 7272
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 10 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: three hours each day for both the land and sea areas.
Beachcombing tools: sand shovel, iron shovel, multi-purpose tongs, iron spade, 2 live fish buckets, 5 fish traps, water pump, 3 first-class lucky fishing rods.
After buying this lucky fishing rod, my points, which were almost 30,000, suddenly dropped back to just over 7,000.
Even so, Chen Zhiyao didn't feel sorry for her at all.
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; from now on, I can earn points without lifting a finger."
Moreover, she had already come up with an excuse for the two fishing rods: she had made plans to hang out with her two best friends in Guangzhou on New Year's Day.
I'll buy gold bracelets for Grandma and Mom while I'm at it, and I'll say this fishing rod was bought in Guangzhou, so it'll be a perfect New Year's gift.
Absolutely perfect.
When Chen Zhiyao came out of the system, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang had already settled their accounts.
The old man had a red snapper and a large grouper, as well as a considerable number of red sea bream, which he sold for a total of 4,880 yuan.
Chen Weiqiang's catch was slightly less, but he still sold it for 3,640 yuan.
After receiving the payment, the three of them managed to suppress their smiles, but they walked out looking radiant and full of energy.
