It's another beautiful day. The fishing ban lasts for four months, during which fishermen cannot go out to sea to fish, so many fishermen have become anglers.
Recently, the fish in the nearshore waters have been almost all caught by the locals.
Whether it's the beach in the village or the breakwater, the number of fish caught is decreasing day by day.
Even if Chen Zhiyao and the others had lucky fishing rods and added bait additives to their bait, there was nothing they could do if there were no fish in the sea.
With the fishing season opening in about two weeks, Chen Zhiyao plans to take advantage of the current fishing ban period when seafood prices are relatively high to go fishing for big fish in the high seas and earn some extra money.
Without consulting her family, she directly booked five boat tickets with Yan Rui, planning to take her family out to sea for fishing.
The five boat tickets cost her nearly 50,000 yuan, and when she paid the money, she felt like her heart was bleeding.
After transferring the money, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"We need to bring up at least two tuna, and they have to be bluefin tuna. Also, grouper, two groupers weighing over a hundred pounds would be great."
As night quietly fell, five people and two adorable dogs sat around the dining table, preparing a meal.
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, Chen Zhiyao suddenly stood up as if she had remembered something important.
Her face beamed with barely concealed excitement, and she spoke mysteriously:
"I have some good news to tell you all!"
Before she could finish speaking, Yan Shuting, who was sitting to the side, eagerly turned her gaze to her and asked excitedly:
"What's the good news? Did you get a boyfriend?"
Yan Shuting's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
Upon hearing this, Chen Weiqiang, who had been engrossed in his meal, immediately turned pale. He put down his chopsticks and retorted with slight displeasure:
"Don't talk nonsense, okay? Tangtang is busy fishing and beachcombing at home every day. She doesn't have time to date!"
Hearing her son say this, Grandma Chen, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, frowned slightly, then said in a soft and gentle voice:
"That's true. Tangtang stays at home every day, so it's really hard to see any young men around her."
After saying that, she looked at her granddaughter with a loving expression, her eyes full of concern:
"Tangtang, how about Grandma introduces you to a few suitable boys?"
As Chen Zhiyao watched the conversation drift further and further away from the point she had originally intended to make, she began to feel anxious.
He waved his hands frantically and shook his head:
"Hey, stop interrupting! That's not the good news I had. I booked five boat tickets with Yan Rui today, and the whole family is going fishing in international waters the day after tomorrow! Isn't that amazing?"
"Not bad, not bad, there must be a lot of big guys over on the high seas!" Grandpa Chen, who had been silent all along, looked at his granddaughter with a smile.
When the topic of fishing comes up, everyone's attention immediately shifts.
The last voyage was very successful, and we made a fortune.
Therefore, when they learned that Chen Zhiyao had booked the boat tickets again, everyone cheered and jumped for joy, their hearts filled with anticipation.
In their excitement, everyone took out their phones and quietly transferred their share of the boat ticket money to Chen Zhiyao.
After all, the ferry ticket isn't cheap, costing nearly 10,000 yuan.
A small amount like a thousand or two yuan is fine, but with such a large sum, even as elders, they would feel embarrassed to take advantage of the situation.
However, Chen Zhiyao waved her hand dismissively in response to everyone's good intentions:
"No need, just consider it my treat to go to the high seas with everyone!"
Chen Zhiyao is now a wealthy woman with over a million yuan in savings, so this amount of money is nothing to her.
"The high seas are full of big fish. I can earn back this measly 50,000 yuan in two days. If I happen to catch a bluefin tuna, I can make a fortune."
As she said this, Chen Zhiyao was full of confidence, a confident smile spreading across her face.
Everyone had witnessed her incredible luck and superb fishing skills, so they happily put their phones away.
Despite being a terrible player, Chen Weiqiang couldn't resist taunting his daughter: "I definitely won't lose to you this time."
Chen Zhiyao smiled without saying a word; she had no intention of bullying her own father.
I felt no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.
Before they knew it, the day to set sail arrived, and Chen Zhiyao and her family boarded the fishing boat with great enthusiasm.
As the ship slowly started moving, Chen Zhiyao's excitement grew, her heart filled with anticipation and excitement for the upcoming fishing trip. Off to sea! Looking at the boundless ocean before her, Chen Zhiyao clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and murmured a prayer:
"May the sea god bless us so that this voyage goes smoothly. It would be best if we could catch a 100-pound bluefin tuna on the first day. If that's not possible, a 100-pound grouper would be fine too."
After a night's voyage, the ship finally arrived at its destination.
"Dear guests, we have arrived at the first fishing spot of this voyage. We wish you a pleasant fishing trip!"
Upon hearing the announcement from above, Chen Zhiyao couldn't contain her eagerness and rushed to the bow of the ship.
Opening the X-ray glasses, I discovered there were quite a few fish on the seabed, and even two large ones deep in the ocean.
"That size... it must weigh a hundred pounds." Looking at the dark shadow in the water, Chen Zhiyao murmured excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the fishing rod and hooked a large squid weighing half a pound onto it.
After pinpointing the location, I quickly and forcefully threw the bait into the turbulent sea.
Then, she gripped the fishing rod tightly, staring intently at the sea, eagerly awaiting a fish to bite.
Time passed slowly, and after waiting for nearly 10 minutes, Chen Zhiyao still hadn't heard the expected sound.
At first, she reassured herself with confidence:
"Wait a little longer, maybe a big fish is slowly approaching."
But as time went on, she gradually became restless, glancing at her fishing rod every now and then, and then looking up at the sky.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was about to lose patience, suddenly, the fishing rod in her hand sank sharply, and a huge pulling force came through.
She was taken aback at first, then reacted and excitedly shouted:
"Haha, finally caught a fish! It's strong, and it's quite big!"
This unexpected surprise swept away her previous gloom, and she was completely immersed in joy.
The fish in the water were being pulled by the hook, and the stinging pain made them agitated, causing them to dart around in the water recklessly.
Before she could even double her strength, Chen Zhiyao used all her strength to barely manage to pull the fishing rod.
She leaned back, her feet gripping the gunwale tightly, her face a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
The big fish struggled incessantly in the water, trying to escape the hook, while Chen Zhiyao held the fishing rod firmly, her whole body filled with fighting spirit.
