Chen Zhiyao happily moved all the catch from the fish trap into the water tank.
There are several panels inside that divide the live water tank into five small compartments of different sizes.
Chen Zhiyao took out the two little green dragons and placed them separately in the smallest compartment.
Then they put the little green dragon they had caught while beachcombing in as well, giving the three of them a luxurious single room.
Before leaving, Chen Zhiyao also set up the other fishing barriers. There were plenty of spots, so each person could put their catch in their own spot.
Chen Weiqiang, who hadn't caught any fish yet, simply got another fishing rod and started fishing as well.
With both hooks outstretched, surely there will be a fish this time?
When Chen Zhiyao arrived on the deck, she saw her father throw a second fishing hook into the sea.
Chen Weiqiang had a fishing rod on each side, and he looked at the sea with a serious and focused expression.
Seeing his serious expression, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but want to laugh, and walked over with light steps:
"We caught that grouper yesterday on the rocky beach where we set the traps. Want to go fish for grouper there?"
Yesterday's two-pound grouper cost 420 yuan per pound; it's the most expensive fish she's ever seen.
You could catch one anywhere and it would be worth at least several hundred yuan.
Upon hearing the name "Rat Spots," Chen Weiqiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up eagerly.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
As he spoke, he deftly put away the two fishing rods.
Before long, the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson rowed their small kayak back to the beach on Seagull Island.
Chen Zhiyao tied the rope of the kayak to the trunk of a coconut tree, and when she turned her head, she saw a sea duck foraging for food on the beach next to her.
This creature has snow-white feathers, but it's covered in sand and looks rather dirty.
The little guy was very agile, quickly bending down and picking up a small sand crab.
sea ducks
This guy wasn't afraid of people at all; he swaggered past her with the little crab in his mouth.
Chen Zhiyao reacted quickly, immediately grabbing the large net from the live fish bucket and chasing after the little creature.
The big white duck was quite alert. Sensing Chen Zhiyao's approach, it immediately flapped its two large wings and ran forward quickly.
However, it was too late. Before it could get far, a large net descended from the sky and covered it directly from above.
"Gaga gaga gaga..."
The large white duck, which was covered, was stunned at first, and then frantically flapped its wings inside.
Just as the creature was about to knock the fishing net away, Chen Zhiyao immediately pounced over and grabbed the struggling creature through the net.
"Hahaha, now it can't escape! Dad, Grandpa, I caught a giant sea duck."
The father and son, who were carrying their fishing gear and in a hurry to go fishing, quickly turned around after hearing Chen Zhiyao's clear voice.
She proudly waved the large white duck in her hand, smugly boasting:
"How about it? Isn't this princess amazing?"
Chen Weiqiang's daughter gave him an approving look, "You're a good girl, take it home and stew it tonight."
Grandpa Chen walked back with a smile, and soon he had several round sea duck eggs in his hand.
By this time, the seawater on the beach had fully risen, and a wave crashed over, splashing up a beautiful spray.
spray
Seeing the grandfather and grandson still collecting sea duck eggs, Chen Weiqiang urged them anxiously:
"Didn't we say we were going fishing? Hurry up and follow along."
A few minutes later, the grandfather, grandson, and two others, each carrying their fishing gear, arrived at the rocky beach in the deep water, full of energy.
The bait was still fresh shrimp provided by Grandpa Chen.
The old man picked up the freshest shrimp, and couldn't help but think of the dwindling number of shrimp in the pond.
I think it's time to release a new batch of shrimp larvae, otherwise in another month or two, we probably won't have any bait left.
Actually, there are fishing baits for sale at the village's small dock, but Grandpa Chen thinks they are too expensive and that it's more cost-effective to raise his own shrimp.
Seeing that her father had taken the spot she had taken yesterday, Chen Zhiyao silently walked to a few large rocks nearby.
But in his heart he secretly thought: I'll let you off this time because you're older.
New fishing spot
Standing at her new fishing spot, Chen Zhiyao skillfully baited her hook and then forcefully cast it out.
Then, she moved a small stone over and sat down leisurely.
Then, from a plastic bag, he took out a mosquito coil and a bottle of mosquito repellent.
Chen Zhiyao has delicate skin, making her particularly prone to mosquito bites. Therefore, she sprayed a lot of mosquito repellent on herself and even lit two mosquito coils.
Suddenly, Chen Weiqiang, who was both inexperienced and loved to have fun, excitedly suggested:
"Let's have a competition to see who can catch the grouper the fastest, and the slowest one..."
Chen Weiqiang scratched the back of his head, unable to think of any good punishment for the moment.
Chen Zhiyao, who was standing nearby, immediately finished Chen Weiqiang's sentence:
"Whoever catches the grouper last or none at all will have to treat their whole family to dinner tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the day of the Melaleuca auction, so the whole family can go to the county town to take a look around and have a nice meal.
“Sure, a new seafood restaurant recently opened in the county. I heard their seafood buffet is pretty good, and they even have baby lobsters and durians. Let’s go there for dinner tomorrow.”
Chen Weiqiang, who loved watching the drama unfold, didn't realize that he was the least capable of the three.
Seafood buffets are so expensive! Grandpa Chen was initially worried about the cost, but then he realized he wouldn't lose, and his mood relaxed.
Anyway, it would be this silly son who paid for the meal in the end, so the old man immediately agreed with a smile.
As for Chen Zhiyao, she naturally had no objections; it was a good opportunity to try what this super expensive baby lobster tasted like.
Moreover, my family really enjoys durian, so we'll definitely be able to eat our way back from the entrance fee.
Looking at the two confident men, Chen Weiqiang felt a vague sense of unease. Had he dug a hole for himself?
However, his confidence quickly led him to abandon the idea, convinced that he would be the first to catch the spotted rat.
Just then, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank.
Feeling the pull on the fishing rod, Chen Weiqiang was extremely excited:
"Hahaha, I caught a fish! This fish isn't very strong, probably only about two pounds. It might be a grouper, hahaha..."
Chen Weiqiang could already feel victory beckoning him, and he happily started playing with the fish.
The two people next to him felt a pang of envy seeing him serve the fish so quickly, and a sense of unease crept into their hearts.
The fish wasn't big, and Chen Weiqiang didn't play with it for long; he pulled the small fish out of the sea in less than two minutes.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the grouper he had been longing for, but a red sea bream weighing about two pounds.
"Although it's not a grouper, this red sea bream is still over fifty yuan a pound, so it's not bad."
Chen Weiqiang put the pinkish-red sea bream into the bucket, and felt as if he had taken a super tonic, his whole body was full of energy.
"The next one will definitely be the rat-spotted one." His tone was full of pride and smugness.
