Just as the father and son were happily playing with the fish, Chen Zhiyao caught a pomfret one after another.
Golden pomfret, white pomfret, swallowtail pomfret, and fighting pomfret took turns to be served, and in less than an hour, the live fish bucket was already full of pomfret.
Seeing that the fish hadn't left, Chen Zhiyao quickly took out a fish basket, poured all the fish from the bucket into the fish basket, and then transferred them to seawater to keep them alive.
As soon as I turned around, I heard my dad's smug laughter coming from not far away.
Turning her head, she saw a bright red fish on the fishing rod. Even from a distance, Chen Zhiyao could tell at a glance that it was a red octopus.
The red octopus costs several tens of yuan per kilogram, but even though it's a big fish weighing over 5 kilograms, it's not as valuable as the pomfret that Chen Zhiyao has.
Seeing that the fish below were still there, Chen Zhiyao quickly waved to her father.
"Dad, come over here quickly."
She kept her voice very low, afraid that the old men in the distance might hear her.
Chen Weiqiang was so focused on playing with the fish that he didn't even realize his daughter had caught a pomfret in a row.
However, out of trust, he didn't hesitate and walked over with the fishing rod and the big fish from before.
Chen Zhiyao whispered two words in his ear mysteriously.
Chen Weiqiang's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly changed to a smaller hook and then threw the bait into the water.
The father and daughter each held a lucky fishing rod, and fish were biting the hooks at the same time.
Pomfret are generally not very big, so the two of them don't need to play the fish; they can simply reel in the line quickly and then bring the fish up.
Both of them caught pomfret, but Chen Weiqiang's fish only weighed six or seven ounces, while Chen Zhiyao's fish weighed about one pound.
Chen Zhiyao secretly compared the two fish. Although they were both using lucky fishing rods, she had the system's blessing, so she was luckier.
In the following period, the father and daughter caught fish at almost the same frequency, but Chen Zhiyao's fish were always a little bigger than her father's.
Chen Zhiyao was now certain that the lucky fishing rod was indeed effective in her father's hands, after all, her father was an unlucky guy who had been out of luck for many years.
However, the effect of the Lucky Fishing Rod is limited. Although it brings better luck, it is ultimately not as good as the luck of someone who has the system.
Seeing that the fish were finally about to disperse, Chen Zhiyao began to look for the next fishing spot.
Meanwhile, Grandpa finally caught a threadfin bream weighing over ten kilograms.
Grandpa Chen was also quite lucky; he had just caught a threadfin bream and then immediately caught a large pomfret weighing over two pounds.
Chen Weiqiang caught a red octopus weighing over 5 jin (2.5 catties) and several pomfret, and was extremely proud of himself.
When I saw the threadfin and pomfret that my dad had caught, I felt completely outshone.
Unconvinced, he switched back to a larger hook and prepared to continue bottom fishing, hoping to catch a big one.
After the fish dispersed, Chen Zhiyao wandered around the dock but didn't see any fish that were even slightly larger.
After catching a few more rockfish, the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson happily took their afternoon's catch to the Yang family's purchasing station.
When Boss Yang saw so many pomfret, his eyes narrowed with joy, and he quickly called his two assistants to help carry the catch.
"These pomfret are quite big. The price is the same as last time: 500 yuan per jin for those weighing over two jin and 400 yuan per jin for those weighing under two jin."
"Wow, this threadfin must weigh at least fifteen or sixteen pounds, so we'll go with 56 yuan per pound. The amberjack is also quite big, so we'll go with 55 yuan per pound."
Seeing that the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson had no objections, Yang Jiajun called over a nearby shop assistant to help weigh the fish.
The few stone goby fish caught later were left out, while Chen Zhiyao's side only caught pomfret.
Large pomfret weighs 4.3 jin (approximately 2.15 kg) and costs 500 yuan per jin, totaling 2150 yuan. Small pomfret weighs 8.2 jin (approximately 4.6 kg) and costs 400 yuan per jin, totaling 3280 yuan.
White pomfret, 18 jin, 23 yuan per jin, total 414 yuan. Golden pomfret, 16 jin, 26 yuan per jin, total 416 yuan.
The pomfret weighed 16.8 jin (approximately 8.4 kg), priced at 27 yuan per jin, for a total of 454 yuan.
In total, Chen Zhiyao's fishing catch today amounted to 6714 yuan.
Although Grandpa Chen only had two fish, they were both large and expensive.
16 jin of threadfin bream, 56 yuan per jin, totaling 896 yuan. 2.4 jin of pomfret, 500 yuan per jin, totaling 1200 yuan.
The old man's total income today was 2096 yuan.
Besides the amberjack that he caught at the beginning, Chen Weiqiang also caught more than half a bucket of pomfret and several fighting pomfret, earning a total of 1,886 yuan today.
After the three received the transfer, their points in the system were updated accordingly, and Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to open it to check.
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.
The extra 10,696 points were the money the grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter earned from fishing today.
Chen Zhiyao was very excited as she watched her points increase.
The three of them earned 10,000 yuan after only two hours of fishing today.
If they go out to sea with their lucky fishing rod to catch big fish, wouldn't their family be able to earn 20,000 a day?
At 20,000 a day, even if you only go out to sea for 20 days a month, that's still 400,000 in earnings.
After deducting expenses such as fuel and parking fees, the monthly profit is at least 300,000 yuan.
I estimate I can earn back the money I spent on the boat in about half a month.
Thinking about this, Chen Zhiyao realized that she didn't need to buy an old boat to save 80,000 yuan, since she could earn back the price difference in just a few days.
Although her family was unaware of the existence of the beachcombing system, Chen Zhiyao herself knew about it and was quite confident about making money in the future.
Back home, Chen Zhiyao told her about her decision: she wanted to buy a new boat.
Grandpa Chen, who originally wanted to buy the old boat, was also blinded by today's income, thinking that he could earn the money back sooner or later.
Grandpa Chen ran away with his ticket, but with Chen Zhiyao's crucial vote, he finally decided to order a new ship from the shipyard.
Fishing boats are made to order, so they can be made according to the customer's requirements.
That evening, the Chen family held another family meeting to discuss the various parameters and configurations of the new fishing boat.
In addition to having a small room for each person, Chen Zhiyao also wanted a small living room where she could rest temporarily.
In addition, we need to build a sunshade on the deck so that we won't be exposed to the sun while fishing.
I might go deep-sea fishing for big fish in the future, so I need to make the toilet bigger so that it's convenient to take a shower inside.
And the kitchen, we need to cook every noon, so it's better to make it more spacious.
Grandpa Chen is an old fisherman himself, and he offered many suggestions on the live fish hold and the frozen fish hold on the boat.
Chen Zhiyao first listed her requirements, and then wrote down the opinions raised by her family members one by one.
