As the sun rose over the sea, Chen Zhiyao and the other night owls who had been fishing all night squinted and yawned as they went back to catch up on their sleep.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Chen and his group of early risers were just getting up and gradually coming out to continue fishing.
Since returning to the village, Chen Zhiyao hadn't stayed up all night for a long time, but this time she stayed up all night and slept very soundly.
When I woke up, it was already past 3 p.m.
She didn't want to get up at first, but she really needed to pee and couldn't hold it in any longer, so she reluctantly got up.
Chen Zhiyao came out of the restroom feeling relaxed, and ran into Uncle Li as soon as she reached the door.
As soon as Uncle Li saw her, he immediately started chatting with her in a friendly manner.
"Xiao Chen, I think you have a real talent for fishing. How about I follow you from now on and play the fish for you?"
"There's no need to pay by the hour like we do now. Just give us a few thousand yuan a month."
Chen Zhiyao was somewhat flattered and quickly declined:
"Uncle Li, please stop joking with me. I only come to the open sea occasionally. I usually go out to sea in my family's fishing boat. There are no such big guys weighing over 100 pounds in the near sea."
While it would be nice to have someone help with fishing, she doesn't really need it since she usually works in coastal waters.
Fishing for tuna from a boat is really fun, but it can get a bit boring after a while.
She still prefers to take a trip to the nearby islands every day, go beachcombing, go scuba diving to catch seafood, and fish in the afternoon, which is relaxing and enjoyable.
And most importantly, she has a system with her, so she doesn't dare let such an unfamiliar person follow her around.
Uncle Li was a little disappointed when she refused.
Xiao Chen is the best fisherman I've ever seen. I was hoping to follow him and learn from him, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.
Having slept all morning, Chen Zhiyao was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep at night, so she didn't dare to continue sleeping.
Just as I was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, I heard lively laughter coming from around the corner.
Chen Zhiyao followed the sound out of curiosity.
Soon, she saw a group of fishermen sitting together playing mahjong, many of whom had white paper strips pasted on their faces.
Grandpa Chen, Chen Weiqiang, Chen Hu, and a middle-aged man sat together.
The other three had clean faces, but Chen Hu's face was almost completely covered by a piece of white paper.
Upon seeing Chen Zhiyao, Chen Hu waved excitedly at her as if she were his savior.
"Tangtang, over here, over here, come help me quickly."
Upon seeing Chen Hu's disheveled appearance, Chen Zhiyao immediately turned and ran away.
Just kidding, with her terrible cooking skills, if she were to be served, she would only suffer more than her second brother.
Realizing she hadn't had lunch yet, Chen Zhiyao went to the kitchen and paid the chef to make her a few stir-fries.
While waiting for her food, Chen Zhiyao started scrolling through her phone out of boredom.
As soon as I opened WeChat, I found a lot of photos posted by my mom in the family group chat, and they were mostly photos of her with various groupers.
The three of them, grandfather, grandson, and daughter-in-law, have been fishing these past few days. Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting at home have also been busy, going out fishing every night.
Although the catch from the sea hasn't been sold yet, the points in the system are rising rapidly thanks to the money the two of them have earned.
"These are all expensive grouper, looks like my points will increase a lot again."
Chen Zhiyao closed her eyes and entered the system, where she saw that her points had indeed increased significantly.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing/Beachcombing Level 3
Points:
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 50 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: three hours each day for both land and sea.
They had gained more than 10,000 points compared to before they set sail, so it seems their gains were quite good.
Looking at the photos, Chen Zhiyao felt homesick. She missed her grandma and mom, as well as her mischievous Ah Huang and Xue Tuan.
The fishing boat returned to the town's dock at 5 p.m.
Before the fishing boat even docked, Chen Zhiyao saw Yang Jiajun and Li Qingqing waving vigorously at her.
On this voyage, the Chen family caught some big fish, and Yang Jiajun and his wife were waiting here early in the morning, afraid that someone would come and steal their catch.
Unsurprisingly, Chen Zhiyao had the largest and best catch of fish on this trip.
As soon as Yang Jiajun returned to the shop, she couldn't wait to start weighing her catch.
The large bluefin tuna weighs 102.2 jin (approximately 51.6 kg), priced at 220 yuan per jin (approximately 16.6 yuan per kg), for a total of [amount missing]. The small one weighs 63 jin (approximately 31.6 kg), priced at 200 yuan per jin (approximately 100 yuan per kg), for a total of [amount missing].
The albacore tuna weighed 208.6 jin (approximately 104.8 kg) and cost 160 yuan per jin (approximately 80 yuan per kg), for a total of [amount missing]. The yellowfin tuna weighed 106 jin (approximately 53 kg) and cost 175 yuan per jin (approximately 80 yuan per kg), for a total of [amount missing].
(The tuna needs to be bled and gutted, reducing its weight by about 20%, hence the weight reduction.)
Sailfish, 76 jin, 168 yuan per jin, total [amount missing]. Grouper, 132 jin, 188 yuan per jin, total [amount missing].
Longtail snapper, 8.8 jin, 360 yuan per jin, total 3168 yuan. Sunfish, 62 jin, 10 qian per jin, total 620 yuan.
Blue-spotted grouper, 27 jin (18.5 kg), 180 yuan per jin (0.5 kg), totaling 4860 yuan. Ray, 106 jin (53 kg), 32 yuan per jin (0.5 kg), totaling 3392 yuan…
After repeatedly resetting the count, Yang Jiajun, grinning foolishly, finally finished calculating all the fish catch.
Chen Zhiyao earned a total of 141,624 yuan from this 6-day, 6-night sea voyage.
Upon hearing this amount, Chen Zhiyao thought for a moment that she had misheard.
It wasn't until I saw the string of numbers clearly written on the receipt that I finally felt a little bit of reality.
Grandpa Chen's main catch consisted of one sailfish, five longtail snapper, one albacore tuna, two yellowfin tuna, and several baskets of various other sea fish.
This voyage yielded a total profit of [amount missing].
Apart from the longtail sea bream, Chen Weiqiang's other fish are almost identical to the old man's.
One sailfish, one albacore tuna, two yellowfin tuna, one bluefin tuna, and over 100 kilograms of other small sea fish.
This voyage yielded a total of [amount] yuan.
Thanks to the added benefit of the bait companion, Chen Hu also made a considerable profit on this trip to sea.
As soon as Yang Jiajun transferred the money to the group, the points in the system were updated.
The score changed from the original score to 420,209 points.
Suddenly, Chen Zhiyao went from being penniless to having a large number of points again.
However, no matter how many points you have, they are not real money. What's more exciting is the money lying in your account.
The group felt like they were dreaming when they received the money, realizing they could earn so much from a single trip to sea.
Chen Zhiyao, in particular, felt a sense of unreality, as her savings suddenly exceeded 700,000 yuan, as if she were dreaming.
Looking at the amount on her phone, she rubbed her eyes twice in disbelief.
Once the amount was confirmed, she couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth, her smile even more innocent and sweet than her pet snowball at home.
