When Yu Shengnan and Huang Jiaqiang came over, they had already started eating. There was a variety of food, such as roujiamo, egg-filled pancakes with ham and fried eggs.
Hey, looking at their diet, and then thinking about how they had to buy mineral water for ten yuan a bottle and twenty-one packs of instant noodles, these two idiots suddenly felt that they could not eat anymore.
"Instant noodles can be cooked right away. We brought a pot and a gas stove," Lao Sun said to comfort them a little, which made them feel better. The price was a bit high, but having the tools to eat freshly cooked noodles was a little consolation.
"That's all for today. You can continue if you want, but the harvest is usually not that good. If you want to rest, there are cabins on the boat that can sleep two people. If you want to sleep on the island, you can sunbathe. I'll take you to a good place after dark. The harvest was good there before."
The sun set and night fell quietly. After Yu Shengnan and Huang Jiaqiang had their boiled noodles again, Lao Sun began to invite everyone to get on the boat and go out to sea.
"If we don't get enough this time, not only will I not be able to get back the money for the instant noodles and mineral water, not to mention the shipping fee," Huang Jiaqiang muttered as he got on the boat.
Because we left home very early in the morning, everyone could still sleep for a while in the morning, but no one slept in the afternoon. Lao Sun and the two old customers played Landlord for the whole afternoon.
Yu Shengnan and Huang Jiaqiang also wanted to make a profit from fishing, but Yu Shengnan only caught a black sea bream weighing more than one kilogram in the afternoon. There was clearly a fish below, but it just didn't eat. He tried his best to tempt it for a long time but it didn't work.
As for Huang Jiaqiang, forget it, just assume he didn’t fish well this afternoon.
"We're here," Captain Lao Sun shouted, and then everyone came to their senses.
It was already dark, but there were several fishing boats ahead, all with their lights on. No wonder Lao Sun said we were there. If we kept going ahead, we might collide with the boat.
"Lao Sun, why are you here again today?" A voice came from the front. From the tone, it was obvious that Lao Sun and his friends were not welcome.
"Big Head Cui, from the tone of your voice, you don't welcome me. We were lucky last time. Besides, you've taken my place this time."
"Come on, who's afraid of who? Why don't you gamble today?"
"You're trying to make a killing. I'm not afraid of anything. It's just five thousand dollars, and it's just the two of us."
"I'll do it!"
"Count me in too!"
While we were talking, another person came over for fun and started a five-person game.
"This is a great fishing spot. You've heard of the term 'whale fall,' right? This is the legendary whale fall fishing spot. Although it's been a while, and there aren't as many fish as before, the catch here is still pretty good."
"But the seabed here is high, only about ten meters deep, and in some places it's only a few meters deep, so large ships can't pass through."
"Let me explain what happened just now. Last time, my boat was in the front, uh, right in the same spot as Cui Dabo's boat. We caught nine groupers, the smallest weighing thirty kilograms. I beat them by a bit. This time, I hope you guys can cheer on and give me some support. I won't say anything else, as long as I win, everyone will get a 2,000 yuan red envelope."
After hearing Lao Sun's explanation, Yu Shengnan finally understood what was going on. It turned out that it was a gambling game.
I have seen people gambling on money, sports and treasures, but this is the first time I have seen people gambling on meat. Don’t mind, fish is also meat.
"What are you betting on? The value of the fish, the number of fish, or..." Huang Jiaqiang interrupted.
"Considering the weight and value, you just need to fish well," Lao Sun was a little disliked by Huang Jiaqiang, but since he needed his help in fishing later, he also patiently explained to him.
In fact, even if Lao Sun didn't say this, everyone would have tried their best, because everyone came here to fish, but they didn't expect to be inexplicably involved in a gambling game, and they were all pawns in the gambling game.
"Old Sun, can you guys invest in this, or count me in as one?" Huang Jiaqiang raised his hand weakly.
Yu Shengnan wanted to laugh a little. As expected of someone coming from Hong Kong, she was deeply familiar with gambling.
Old Sun was stunned for a moment. He had not thought that this would be possible, but when he thought about the 20,000 yuan he earned last time, he shook his head and refused. Wouldn't it be nice to earn money alone? Sharing it with others would only make half of it.
Yu Shengnan had originally wanted to take a share, but when he heard that Lao Sun was unwilling, he didn't say anything.
It's not that he likes to gamble, but the water here is shallow, and at his current height, his eyes are no more than 30 centimeters away from the water surface. He can clearly capture the fish situation below, and of course he is fully confident that he can catch more fish.
There were indeed a lot of fish here, but he didn't know whether there were many fish over there because he couldn't see them from far away.
"Jiang Qiang, come over here, the lights are brighter here." Yu Shengnan stood up and walked around the boat, then came back and made a suggestion to Huang Jiaqiang.
At the moment, the two of them were at the stern of the ship, and the so-called change of positions was just the left and right sides being swapped.
Huang Jiaqiang was very touched. After all, he was wearing glasses and the other party had only known him for one day. He must be a good person to be able to take care of him.
At this moment, Huang Jiaqiang was full of gratitude towards Yu Shengnan.
After the two changed seats, everyone started fishing seriously.
Not long after, a shout was heard from Cui Dabo's boat, followed by crude words such as "very big" and "very thick", which seemed to mean that a fish had been caught.
On their side, Yu Shengnan opened the record. It was a golden grouper weighing more than ten kilograms. Although the weight may not be very impressive, this fish is expensive. Golden grouper is definitely a precious species among groupers. The price per kilogram is between 200 and 300 yuan. In other words, this fish costs two to three thousand yuan. The boat fee is recovered in one go and there is still some profit.
"A big golden grouper, well done!" Old Sun shouted loudly after seeing Yu Shengnan catch the fish.
Wow, this fish gambler also uses psychological tactics.
Later, everyone caught fish one after another, and the scene suddenly became full of laughter.
Old Sun and his friends bet 5,000 yuan. In a five-person game, only one person can win. As long as you fish seriously and catch two good fish, you won't feel bad if you lose 5,000 yuan. After all, the people participating in the bet are all boat captains, and they say that white people make money from the heads of people.
Just like Lao Sun's trip, he brought four people, each paying 600, which makes 2,400. Add in a golden spotted fish, and the stakes are set, so there's not much pressure.
On the other hand, if he wins, that means he wins against four people, each person gets 5,000, which means 20,000. This bet is still very tempting. Even if he gives out 2,000 red envelopes to each person as they say, he still has 12,000 left, and with the number of people, that's nearly 15,000.
"Why is it another pufferfish, Xiaoyu? Why don't we switch? I've already caught three pufferfish."
"Luckily I changed it at that time, otherwise my three groupers would have been replaced by three pufferfish," Yu Shengnan was secretly happy, but her ears could not hear the sounds outside.
