Chapter 40 Fishing at Sea



He Xinran didn't sleep the whole night. The sudden proposal and the poorly designed program made her go from heartbroken to happy and sweet. She thought she would never forget this moment.

He Xinran was happy, but the consequence of his happiness made Yu Shengnan feel a little regretful.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that the male protagonist is not good at fighting, but He Xinran was so excited that she didn't sleep. She chatted with Yu Shengnan all night long. Finally, it was almost dawn, and she let Yu Shengnan work her to death before she fell asleep. There was a smile on her face when she slept.

Yu Shengnan was fine. Not sleeping for a night was no big deal for him. He got up and made some pork ribs and shrimp soup, adding some longan, red dates and wolfberry. He drank a bowl himself and then woke up He Xinran and asked her to drink a bowl before going back to sleep.

But He Xinran didn't want to sleep after drinking the soup. He insisted on staying with him. After seeing He Xinran's condition, he didn't go out. The two of them slept until three o'clock in the afternoon and then got hungry.

Getting up late is really a waste of time. Often before you even realize how much time has passed, another day has already passed.

Yu Shengnan took He Xinran to the dock. Apart from some small miscellaneous fish, there was no fish suitable for cooking at home. She also wanted to get some good fish to nourish the woman.

"How much is this abalone?"

"Three dollars each!"

The value of abalone, even wild abalone, is related to its size. People often say "a few abalone", which roughly means how many abalone can be weighed in one kilogram. The larger the abalone, the more expensive it is.

The abalone at the stall in front of Yu Shengnan and He Xinran were really small, so the boss said three yuan each.

"How can your abalone be worth three yuan when it's so small? One yuan is more like it." Yu Shengnan had seen the market conditions here and of course she wouldn't be stupid enough to just give him whatever he said.

"Handsome boy, you look quite handsome, but how can you be so cruel? I have to support my 98-year-old mother and three-year-old child. If you bargain like this, I can't make it."

You're awesome! My mom's 98, and my child's three. I can't fool you. Yu Shengnan and the other party compromised, and finally got the item for 1.6 yuan each. Of course, she had to buy them all, otherwise the other party wouldn't sell it for less than 2 yuan.

"Old Wang is selling fish here. You have a good catch. Where did you catch them?"

"It's in the bay over on Niutou Island. The shipping is going well this time. It's okay. I can't get back the money I paid for the previous two trips."

The conversation between two people next to them caught Yu Shengnan's attention, and he hurried over.

The owner of the stall in front is a bald middle-aged man, a short and fat man with a round face like London. He looks very pleasing, a bit like the Buddha in the temple.

"Boss, how much are your red-head fish?" Yu Shengnan came over and started to make small talk.

"Handsome boy, you have a good eye. I just caught these today, they are very fresh. If you want them, there are six in total. I won't take more. 20 per pound, I've already taken them away."

Twenty-one pounds, it was indeed not much. Twenty was a cheap price in the seafood market, so Yu Shengnan did not bargain. After all, she caught it herself, not from a dealer.

"Brother, I just heard you say you caught this yourself. Where did you catch it?"

"It's in the bay over on Niutou Island. Look at these red-headed fish, sea bass, that conger eel, these yellowtails, and the pot of stone nine-headed fish I sold earlier..."

Whether he really didn't know or not, Yu Shengnan knew that the fisherman was a king of big talkers, but since the other party was bragging, he didn't stop him. He made the other party happy so that he could get more information.

"Brother, you're amazing! Your skills must be amazing. How do you go fishing at sea? Can you go very far?"

Yu Shengnan asked the information he wanted to know most. After all, although he had been fishing for a while, he knew nothing about going out to sea fishing.

"Sure, brother, you like fishing too, right? It doesn't cost much, only five or six hundred per trip. People usually go out the day before and come back the next day. There are only four or five people on a fishing boat, and once they're all together, they can go. If you want to go, I can introduce you to a local fishing group. We also have a local fishing group. When you catch fish, you can post them in the group. There are also fish collectors in the group."

Yu Shengnan wanted to go fishing at sea. Since he had no experience, he decided to join others and added them as friends.

Wang Fubao is the name of the fat man in front of me, which matches his appearance very well.

Not long after returning, Yu Shengnan discovered that she had joined two groups: one was called the Shenzhen Senior Fishing Masters Group, and the other was called Lao Wang and his friends.

When he came in, he saw Wang Fubao sending a message asking if anyone was going to go on Lao Sun's ship that was going out to sea on Saturday, and there was a spot available.

Soon someone in the group said, "I want one," and then someone else said, "I want one too."

Wang Fubao replied directly: Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it. I'll just ask Lao Sun to cancel one of the original orders.

What the hell is there still a position? It’s pure routine and it works great.

After a while, Yu Shengnan sent him a private message, saying that it would be 600 yuan per person, and he could just transfer it to him in advance. He would be boarding the ship on Saturday and should bring his own equipment.

Saturday, October 5th. Normally, if you go on Saturday, you will come back on Sunday, so you will be away for two days.

On the 5th, Yu Shengnan arrived at the Jinjiang Fishing Village Pier before four in the morning.

Why so early? It's to catch the early bites. The two most important time periods for fishing are morning and evening: in the morning before the sun rises and in the evening after the sun sets. These two time periods are generally better for fishing.

Yu Shengnan was carrying the Alpha rods at the moment, but not the Shimano rods. Since he was going out with others, he thought it would be better to keep a low profile.

When he arrived, three others had already arrived, and one had not yet arrived. Everyone had seen him in the video yesterday and knew him. Within ten minutes, the other one arrived, and everyone worked together to carry their things onto the boat.

When Captain Lao Sun saw that everyone was gathered, he started the engine and set off.

The boat is about six or seven meters long and two meters wide, with a cab in the middle. I heard from Lao Sun that the cab has a sleeping cabin that can accommodate two people, but there is nothing else.

Yu Shengnan asked how much the boat cost, and Lao Sun said that he bought it second-hand and spent 50,000 yuan on it.

To be honest, Yu Shengnan felt that such a big boat was a bit small for four people. One at the bow and one at the stern was enough for two people.

In addition, the boat is a bit small and the shaking amplitude is quite large. It has been more than an hour since it was sailed, and Yu Shengnan, who has never been seasick, is a bit dizzy due to the shaking.

Fortunately, they soon arrived at the sighting site, Niutou Island.

Lao Sun seemed to be very familiar with the place. He found a suitable place to dock and then told everyone to move around freely.

It turned out that these four people were not fishing on the boat, but were looking for fishing spots on the island.

Yu Shengnan seemed to be thinking about something when she came down carrying her equipment.
