Seeing that the old man had served the fish so quickly, Chen Weiqiang and Yan Shuting felt a pang of envy.
Meanwhile, the couple were secretly competing to see who could catch the rare stone clam first.
Seeing that there was no room left for her to stand in her fishing spot, Chen Zhiyao got up and went to the side with a helpless expression.
After pinpointing the location of the fish, I cast my bait precisely into the water. As the bait hit the water, the nearby fish began to stir.
At this moment, Grandpa Chen next to him started frantically reeling in the line with great anticipation. The fishing reel creaked and sped so fast that sparks flew.
However, he was dumbfounded when the fish was pulled out of the water.
What was pulled out of the water was not a rock clam, but a large pufferfish weighing about half a pound.
The pufferfish, which was originally slender, quickly swelled into a round, bulging sphere as the air pressure changed.
Seeing the old man so angry he looked like a pufferfish, Chen Weiqiang couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Hahaha, Dad, you've come up empty-handed, hahaha..."
Pufferfish are poisonous; the purchasing stations won't accept them, and we wouldn't dare cook them for ourselves. They're even worse than worthless small fish.
Seeing that Grandpa Chen had been humiliated, Chen Zhiyao and Yan Shuting couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Grandpa Chen looked embarrassed, his lips moved, and finally he let out a long sigh.
Oh well, all that excitement for nothing.
At this moment, Chen Weiqiang also caught a fish, and soon after, he caught a red sea bream weighing about half a pound.
"Haha, looks like I'm in good luck today!" Chen Weiqiang boasted smugly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Zhiyao's fishing rod finally reacted.
Feeling the pull on the fishing rod was twice as strong as when she caught the rockfish, she excitedly took a step forward, reeling in the line while beaming with pride:
"Haha, I caught a fish! It was quite strong, probably a rock bream weighing over three pounds."
Just then, the fishing rod that Yan Shuting was holding tightly suddenly bent straight down as if pulled by some enormous force.
This immense force clearly indicates that it's a large machine.
At this moment, Yan Shuting's good mood soared to its peak, and she couldn't help but boast:
“A small fish weighing a little over three pounds is nothing compared to this. Look at my fishing rod, it's bent like a crescent moon. This fish must weigh at least 10 pounds!”
Chen Zhiyao, standing to the side, wasn't entirely convinced by her mother's words. She pouted and responded with a hint of defiance:
"Hmph, big size doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Maybe it's just an ordinary sea wolf."
Neither mother nor daughter was willing to admit defeat, and they actually started competing with each other.
A few minutes later, with a "whoosh," a pinkish-red sea bream landed steadily on the deck.
Chen Zhiyao ran forward happily to check her spoils, muttering to herself:
"Wow, this red sea bream weighs over three pounds. It's rare to see such a large red sea bream. It should sell for at least 100 yuan per pound."
After saying that, she quickly squatted down and carefully removed the fishhook from the fish's mouth.
Immediately afterwards, she skillfully hooked a small piece of fresh octopus leg onto the hook as new bait.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao put the bait into the water, the greedy fish smelled the aroma of the food and immediately swarmed around it.
Soon, a strange sensation traveled up her hand holding the fishing rod, as if something was gently tugging at her underwater.
The dragging sensation wasn't too strong, but it wasn't negligible either, and it caught Chen Zhiyao's attention at just the right moment.
Seeing that it was another small fish, Chen Zhiyao immediately turned the handle of the fishing reel quickly.
With a soft "click-clack" sound from the fishing reel, the fishing line was quickly reeled in.
Two minutes later, a plump, brightly colored black sea bream was flown up.
I caught over a pound of black sea bream, and easily made another 100 yuan.
It seems a school of rock bream has arrived. Not only Chen Zhiyao, but almost everyone else caught rock bream.
Bigeye sea bream, red sea bream, black sea bream, and rainbow sea bream—one after another, plump rock bream were pulled out of the water.
Just after Chen Zhiyao caught several plump rock bream, Yan Shuting's big fish finally jumped out of the water.
Hearing the sound of a large fish breaking through the water, she quickly turned around to watch the spectacle.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a large bass weighing fifteen or sixteen pounds.
Yan Shuting took the fishhook off and hugged the big guy, her eyes crinkling with joy.
"Tangtang, hurry, hurry, help me take some pictures!"
Yan Shuting went fishing with the father and son, and gradually picked up the habit of taking pictures of the fish and showing them off.
"Here it comes! Here it comes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Zhiyao felt a slight dragging sensation on the fishing rod in her hand.
"Haha, I've caught a fish too, Mom, wait a minute, I'll be right there." He said, vigorously turning the fishing reel in his hand.
"Sizzle sizzle..."
The fishing reel spun wildly, and a small fish, no bigger than a palm, was pulled out of the water with a "whoosh".
Upon seeing the fish clearly in the water, Chen Zhiyao jumped up excitedly:
"Haha, it's another stone clam fish. This one is a little bigger than the last one, probably weighing about a pound and a half."
Then, she looked defiantly at her father:
"Haha, it's no use you guys taking my fishing spot. The fish that are meant to be mine will still come over here to take the bait."
Chen Weiqiang and the other two looked at each other, not expecting this girl to be so lucky. They were all so envious.
Chen Zhiyao carefully placed the stone clam she had just caught into the bucket. The fish thrashed around in the bucket a few times before settling down.
Gazing at the stone clam fish in the bucket, she couldn't help but swallow, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement.
"I've heard that sashimi made with rock clam is incredibly sweet and delicious. I've never tried it before, so I don't know if it's really that good."
"Keep the larger one to take back and make sashimi, and sell the smaller one."
Chen Zhiyao quickly arranged the two stone clam fish.
In the past, she would definitely have kept such an expensive stone clam to sell for money.
However, she is now a wealthy woman with millions in savings, and she has to try this delicious stone clam fish no matter what.
During this time, Yan Shuting also earned a considerable amount of money. The usually thrifty woman became quite generous during this period.
"Sure, these red sea bream and black sea bream are quite good for making sashimi. Why don't we pick out one of each type and keep it?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the lively fish in his bucket.
Chen Zhiyao nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll invite my uncle and the others to dinner tonight."
She caught two more palm-sized rock bream, and by then there weren't many fish left in the water. Chen Zhiyao happily went into the driver's seat.
Going back to sell fish and eat sashimi!
