"The new ship needs to be booked in advance. If you place an order now, it will take at least a month to receive it."
"And it's just a bare boat. It will take several days to furnish a fishing boat. But that old boat can be bought and set sail tomorrow."
"This past month or so has caused so much delay. If we can buy the boat sooner, we can earn back the money we would have spent on it."
On the way, Grandpa Chen kept talking about the advantages of the old boat, trying to persuade his son and granddaughter.
Moreover, he hadn't been out to sea for several days, and the old man was also thinking about going to the deep sea to catch big fish.
He's been fishing in the village these past few days, but the money he's earned in a week isn't as much as he used to earn in a day at sea.
Time is money, and considering all factors, the old man still felt that the second-hand boat was a better deal.
Once you buy it, you can go out to sea immediately, saving a lot of time and effort.
Chen Weiqiang refused to accept this and said directly:
“You can rent that small boat again for another month; it only costs 4,000 yuan.”
"You...you spendthrift son."
After hearing this, the old man had no rebuttal.
Sitting in the corner, Chen Zhiyao curled up into a ball, trying to minimize her presence.
However, the father and son still had their eyes on her and insisted that she make a decision about whether to buy a new boat or an old one.
Chen Zhiyao genuinely felt that both boats were good; the older boat was economical and practical, and they could set sail immediately after purchasing it.
Although the new ship was a bit expensive, its brand-newness was very attractive to Chen Zhiyao.
Actually, both are quite good. As someone who suffers from severe decision-making difficulties, she really couldn't decide which one was better.
Seeing her daughter frantically scratching her head, her little head almost bald, Yan Shuting quickly came to her rescue:
"Alright, buying a boat isn't like buying cabbage. It costs over 200,000 yuan. Let's think about it for a few more days before making a decision."
“Yeah, let me think about it some more.” Chen Zhiyao nodded frantically.
Seeing that it was only a little past 3 o'clock, she quickly suggested:
"It's still early, let's go fishing at the old pier later. It's been a long time since we've been there, maybe we can catch a couple more big red grouper."
When it came to fishing, the father and son became interested and quickly forgot about buying a boat.
Back home, the grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter each took an identical fishing rod and happily set off to go fishing.
The three of them first went to the breakwater, where there were many people fishing. At a glance, all the good fishing spots were occupied.
So Chen Weiqiang drove directly to the old dock where he had fished for red-spotted fish last time.
When the three of them got out of the car, they found that several old men were already sitting there fishing.
Seeing this, the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson deliberately walked in another direction.
Moreover, Chen Zhiyao even turned on her X-ray glasses to observe her surroundings as she walked.
She hadn't walked far when she saw two large, dark shadows in the water ahead. The larger one was estimated to weigh over ten kilograms, and the smaller one was estimated to weigh five or six kilograms.
In addition, there were many small dark figures around.
Chen Zhiyao stopped and said in a joking tone:
"According to my sixth sense, there are a lot of fish down here, and some big ones at that. Let's fish here."
Chen Zhiyao's perception of fish catches had been exceptionally good lately, and Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang believed her without a doubt, so they immediately stopped in their tracks.
Chen Weiqiang, with a fawning expression, sidled up to his daughter and asked, "Tangtang, which spot do you think has better feng shui?"
Chen Zhiyao smiled and pointed to a spot.
It looks random, but this position is actually right next to the large dark shadow.
Then, she had Grandpa Chen sit down next to the smaller black ball.
After settling her grandfather and father in, Chen Zhiyao picked up her fishing rod and continued walking.
She had only taken a few steps when she was pleasantly surprised to find a school of fish ahead.
However, upon closer inspection, they were all small fish, and judging from the size of the shadowy figures, they probably weighed only about one or two pounds.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was about to look further ahead, Xiao Meng in her mind suddenly reminded her:
"Tangtang, let's go fishing here. There are some good things among the fish."
Xiaomeng rarely tells her where there are good things, but the two times she did remind her, she found something quite good, so she immediately stopped.
The fish are not large, and they mostly live in the middle and upper layers of the water.
Chen Zhiyao quickly replaced the fishing rod with a smaller hook and a lighter sinker.
Once she located the school of fish, she turned off her X-ray glasses.
There are fish everywhere below, so there's no need to waste time using the X-ray glasses.
The fish below were very dense, and as soon as the fishing rod was put into the water, Chen Zhiyao felt a pull that was neither too light nor too heavy.
"A fish has already taken the bait so quickly!"
The long-lost feeling of being pulled made Chen Zhiyao quite excited. Even though it was just a small fish, she happily started playing with it.
After playing for two or three minutes, she started reeling in the line, and soon, she successfully brought a gray pomfret ashore.
This pomfret has a rather unique tail; it's long, just like a swallow's tail.
"Oh, it's a pomfret. It looks quite plump, probably weighing more than a pound."
Swallowtail pomfret
Swallowtail pomfret is a type of pomfret. Its tail is longer and darker in color than that of ordinary pomfret, leaning towards gray.
Although the swallowtail pomfret has a unique tail, its price is similar to that of ordinary white pomfret and golden pomfret.
The good stuff Xiaomeng mentioned definitely wasn't this pomfret.
The shadowy figures below were all small, probably pomfret, which immediately reminded Chen Zhiyao of fighting pomfret.
If the following is a school of pomfret, then the best one must be the "Hermes" of pomfret, the fighting pomfret.
Thinking of the pomfret below, Chen Zhiyao excitedly took down the swallowtail pomfret in her hand and then hung a small piece of shrimp on it.
A short while later, she caught another white pomfret.
Although it wasn't pomfret, it convinced Chen Zhiyao that there was a school of pomfret below.
After catching two white pomfret and one swallowtail pomfret, she finally caught a fighting pomfret.
Although this pomfret only weighed seven or eight ounces, its price of several hundred yuan per pound was enough to make Chen Zhiyao happy.
This little guy alone is worth two or three hundred yuan.
After the first pomfret was hooked, the following pomfret seemed to have been switched on, biting the hook one after another.
In no time, Chen Zhiyao caught three small pomfret.
Although they are all about seven or eight ounces in size, the price is just too high.
After catching several more golden pomfret, Chen Zhiyao finally caught a slightly larger fighting pomfret.
When Chen Zhiyao pulled up the two-pound pomfret, her hands were trembling.
Meanwhile, not far away, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang finally caught some fish. Their two fishing rods were pulled so hard they were deformed, clearly indicating that the fish were big.
Chen Zhiyao, who had originally wanted to invite the two of them to come fishing for pomfret, had no choice but to swallow her words when she saw this.
