This is what the locals call it, because it often has its mouth open and looks silly. Mingyue measured it with her fingers, "Sister, it must be half a meter long and weigh over ten kilograms, right?"
She had never seen such a big, dumb fish before.
Mingjing nodded. The sergeant fish, also known as the cobra or sea bream, can grow to over two meters long. It is black with a flat head and is sometimes mistaken for a shark from a distance.
However, because this species is scarce in coastal areas and is generally found in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, it is not commonly seen in their region.
Mingjing guessed it was worth some money and readily put it into the fish lake.
No wonder men love fishing; it's so much fun!
Mingjing chose the five-striped finless bream from earlier. Although such a large one is rare, it would be worth it if he could catch an even bigger fish.
Just as she cast the fishing rod, it was suddenly pulled. Mingjing didn't notice, and by the time she reacted, she and the fishing rod had both fallen into the water.
Fortunately, it didn't hit any rocks on the seabed, and the mirror emerged from the ocean.
"Sister, are you alright?" Mingyue was terrified.
"It's alright," Mingjing said, holding onto the fishing rod. Just a moment after it fell in, she saw that the fish was entirely red and quite large.
She was being dragged along by the fish, and as she watched it drift further and further away, Mingjing desperately tried to pull it back.
Mingjing seemed to have more strength in the water than on land, and soon the fish lost its strength. Mingjing carried the fish and climbed ashore, and Mingyue pulled her ashore.
"Sis, are you trying to kill yourself by wanting fish?"
"It's nothing," Mingjing said, tossing down the fish and wiping the seawater from her face.
"Third Aunt, this fish looks really good."
Ming Lei's eyes widened in disbelief.
"The grouper is huge."
This one is over half a meter long and weighs at least fifty kilograms.
"It's so beautiful." Ming Lei reached out and touched the fish; its scales were smooth and shiny.
Mingjing looked at the fish and felt that something was wrong.
"But sister, why does this East Star Spotted Poultry Clam look so strange? Its mouth is shorter than that of a regular Qingyi Poultry Clam, and it's upturned, unlike the Qingyi Poultry Clam."
Mingyue found it strange.
Upon hearing this, Mingjing examined it carefully and his face lit up with joy. "It's not a grouper, this is a Napoleon wrasse, it's incredibly valuable!"
"A grouper?" Mingyue stared wide-eyed.
She was a native of the seaside and had never seen this kind of fish before. Strangely, Mingjing, who had only been there for a few days, knew about it.
"Yes, it's also called Napoleon fish, and it's extremely rare."
The Napoleon wrasse can grow to over two meters long and weigh over a hundred kilograms. It is called the Napoleon fish because it has something on its head that looks like Napoleon's hat.
Its patterns radiate outwards from its eyes. Adult Napoleon wrasse are brightly colored, and the patterns on its body resemble human fingerprints. Its flesh is tender and delicious.
Its lips can sell for thousands of dollars, not to mention the fish meat. It's worth mentioning that the deep-sea Napoleon wrasse is poisonous, but that doesn't stop it from being popular.
Listed as an endangered species in 2004, the Napoleon wrasse is still a fish that can be caught.
Mingjing struggled to lift the Napoleon wrasse, removed the hook, and tossed it into the fish basket.
[Congratulations, host! You have captured the rare species, the Napoleon wrasse. Reward: 5,000 points, Luck Value: 120]
Mingjing almost forgot that catching big fish could also bring points rewards, but she couldn't understand why she wasn't allowed to release the grouper but the giant clam, even though they were both rare species.
Thanks to the Napoleon wrasse, Mingjing's luck is off the charts, meaning that big fish from the surrounding waters are surging in, and you can catch a big fish with just a few bites.
As they were talking, Ming Lei's fishing rod twitched a few times, and the kid pulled it up very easily. Ming Jing glanced at it and said, "Throw it far away, this thing is poisonous."
Ming Lei was so frightened that he dropped the fishing rod in his hand.
After saying that, Mingjing stepped forward and stomped on the lamprey. This creature was pure white, like a snake, and was as thick as Mingjing's wrist, about seventy centimeters long.
Its mouth has a round opening, no upper or lower jaw, only teeth, and seven gills on each side, making it look like a mutated monster from a Resident Evil movie.
Mingjing put on gloves and grabbed the lamprey by the neck. The slime on this creature was poisonous and could kill if you touched it.
She carefully removed the fishhook from the lamprey's mouth; the creature's sharp teeth snapped open and closed, biting Mingjing's hand tightly several times.
Ordinary fishermen usually cut the line when they encounter lampreys, rarely taking the hook while they are still alive. However, Mingjing thinks that cutting the line will result in the loss of items and a reduction in points.
Her gloves were impervious to knives and guns, and she was completely unafraid of lampreys.
Mingjing dared not put it back in the fish basket, fearing that the slime might poison her Napoleon wrasse, which would be a huge loss. She could only put it in the wooden bucket behind her and cover it with another wooden bucket to prevent it from jumping out.
They were incredibly lucky. Mingjing caught two tigerfish in just two seconds after she went into the water, and Mingyue also caught two white eels.
Only Ming Lei, apart from that lamprey, kept catching tilapia, catching more than a dozen in a row. The most bizarre thing was that he also caught a few angelfish with teeth as big as teeth.
The colors are beautiful, but they're too small. I can't sell them, so I'll just leave them unsold.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mingjing was quite satisfied with today's results. He got up and packed up his clubs. "Let's go back. I still need to find someone to buy some. I can't waste any more time."
The fish basket has limited space, so we can't kill her precious fish.
"Let's go, I'm dying of sunburn."
Mingyue went fishing today without even wearing a hat, and her face is sunburned bright red; it'll start peeling soon.
Don't be fooled by the sea breeze; it can get unbearably hot at the beach.
The fish basket was too heavy, so Mingjing went home first to get the tricycle. He lifted the fish basket onto the tricycle and sped home.
Upon arriving home, Mingyue and Minglei got out of the car with their tools. Mingjing said, "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving now. We'll talk when I get back."
Knowing that Mingjing was going to sell fish, Mingdahai didn't stop him, but told him to hurry back.
On the way, Mingjing informed Dong Li and all the big bosses in advance that there would be good goods today.
When she arrived at the seafood restaurant, there were three or four luxury cars parked outside, and people were chatting and laughing inside. As soon as Mingjing arrived, everyone became nervous.
"Mingjing, what good stuff are you talking about?" Xia Chang'an asked anxiously, tilting his head to look into the carriage.
Xie Chang'an and Dong Li went to the car to take a look, then immediately took down the fish basket and exclaimed in surprise, "Su Mei!"
"My goodness, you've gone to sea?" Xia Chang'an exclaimed in surprise.
"No, I was sea fishing. Do any of you want one of these? Otherwise, I can go to Dongguan or Xiamen to take a look."
Mingjing smiled deliberately.
"Of course we should. We'll bid the same way as before, but Su Mei looks like she's not going to make it. So we can't set the starting price too high."
Song Renren began to calculate.
"Well, gentlemen, I don't know much about seafood, but I've heard of the Napoleon wrasse. It's very rare. Even though it's dead, the price hasn't dropped. It starts at three thousand per catty, and we won't sell it for less."
Upon hearing this, the shop owners looked troubled. "Three thousand per kilogram, and this Su Mei fish weighs at least fifty kilograms, which is 150,000 yuan. It's too expensive."
Seeing that the bosses remained silent, Mingjing continued, "Bosses, I've also been to school, and I know a little about the seafood market. Su Mei's lips can sell for two thousand."
We're friends, so we can't try to take advantage of each other. We have a long life ahead of us.
