Chapter 82: When you give up, hope appears



The fish prepared by Qiao Shan is not braised, but stewed in the style of their hometown. Yu Shengnan praised it highly after eating it. The black sea bream tastes good to begin with, but the cooking skills of Chef Qiao make it even better. How can it be described in just one word: delicious!

At night, the two of them went to bed early to rest. Qiao Shan slept in the cabin by himself, while Yu Shengnan slept outside. The first reason for this arrangement was that Qiao Shan was too fat, and if he slept alone in the cabin, Yu Shengnan would not be able to squeeze in. The second reason was that Yu Shengnan needed to practice.

Now, as long as there are no unexpected circumstances and he can arrange his own time, he will practice every day without fail.

He remembered what happened on the island last time and what happened next when he faced the Ni family. He had to make himself stronger. He was not good enough now. He did not have enough wealth, power, or absolute strength.

You don't have to doubt it. I didn't write it randomly, nor did I talk nonsense, and I didn't just say that in novels.

You might say we live in a society ruled by law and an age of hot-weapons, so where does the use of force come from? That's nonsense. Let me give you a real-life example: a murderer named Kerhua, who traveled across multiple provinces on foot, using both close combat and firearms, yet the police remained cautious. Why? Those unseen masters simply disdain crime because there are more opportunities to make money through legitimate means.

This is a bit off topic. Another reason why Yu Shengnan has been practicing intensively recently is his medical skills. He found that his physical fitness is getting better and better, and his understanding of the human body seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

When Yao Meifang fell ill, his control over her energy was just right. If he had not resigned at that time, Yao Meifang would have been buried by then.

The benefit of practicing is that the quality of sleep is particularly high. He went to bed three hours later than Qiao Shan, but when he woke up after three and a half hours of sleep, Qiao Shan was still snoring loudly.

Yu Shengnan didn't let him sleep any longer. He wanted to go fishing early even though it was not yet four o'clock.

"Shanzi, go back and sleep later. Go to work first. Earn some money and then you'll have enough to sleep on."

"Ah, it's so early, I'm still sleepy!"

Although Qiao Shan was mumbling, he still stood up and quickly squatted to his position.

Laziness is a disease that everyone has, but the severity of the disease varies from person to person, some are more severe, some are less severe. When there is sufficient motivation, the disease can be asymptomatic.

Making money was the best medicine to cure this disease. Before bed yesterday, Yu Shengnan estimated that the fish he'd caught could fetch a little over a thousand (he didn't dare mention the black sea bream, which could fetch three hundred). Qiao Shan was pleasantly surprised.

One thousand yuan a day, that's thirty thousand yuan a month. This is much better than the previous job of screwing in the factory. The salary was about 20 yuan an hour, and the working hours were ten to twelve hours a day.

People say time is priceless, but every time he thinks about it, twenty dollars an hour is really not expensive.

Compared to that, fishing was so easy. You could make money just by playing. Even though Yu Shengnan had to take a ten-point cut of the thousand yuan, wasn't it normal for a brother to take him out to sea with food and lodging, and then pay for the gas himself? Later, he learned that going out to sea with a boat usually cost five or six hundred yuan per person, and that was a small, shabby boat.

In the morning, Qiao Shan's novice aura seemed to be less effective. No, it should be said that both he and Yu Shengnan were much less effective.

Last night the bite was late and both of us had some consecutive catches for a while, but this morning the bite was much worse. After waiting for twenty minutes, neither of us had caught a fish.

"It's strange. There are fish here. Don't they need to eat?" Yu Shengnan murmured in her heart.

Yu Shengnan and Qiao Shan just stared blankly at the pitch-black sea and waited for an hour.

"Hey man, is this okay? Is there no fish here? How about we go somewhere else?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Fishing requires patience, don't you understand? Look here, I'm going to teach you a trick today!"

"There are fish underwater, but they won't bite. Maybe they're too smart, or maybe they've been caught before, and now they don't want to eat the bait. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Just tell me the real deal!"

"Patience, patience! How can you fish without patience? You were lucky last night. Our current situation is normal. If you see anyone fishing who catches a lot of fish right away, they're mostly veterans of the Air Force, right?"

Qiao Shan didn't say anything, but just replied that Yu Shengnan had a lot of things to say to him, and he didn't know what she would say next.

"If the fish won't bite, you need to guide it to take the bait. How do you do it? Learn from me. Stand with your legs apart and keep your body steady. Then hold the fishing rod flat and make small, trembling movements. This will create a small floating movement of the bait underwater, giving the fish the feeling that the bait is still challenging it..."

Yu Shengnan is usually a very serious and reliable person. However, he developed a new skill when taking Qiao Shan fishing, that is, being a good teacher. Of course, he really wants his good brother to become a real fishing master. After all, Qiao Shan can't cheat like himself.

Just like that, half an hour later...

"Yu Shengnan, Brother Nan, cook. I want to eat. I have patience, but I don't have it down there. It's useless even if I have it."

"Okay, then I'll go cook. There's still some rice left from yesterday. I'll just add some water and cook some rice porridge." Yu Shengnan said as she prepared to put down her fishing rod and go cook.

Before Yu Shengnan turned her head to look at Qiao Shan's face, she heard a "chi" sound, and then the rod suddenly sank down. Fortunately, she was holding the rod with both hands, and her right hand was still holding the fishing rod. Then, with a clang, a large amount of fishing line ran out.

"Ca, just eat, just eat. See, does what I taught you work? Oh, this guy is really powerful," Yu Shengnan started the happy battle.

The school of fish underwater came here last night. When they came, there were still a lot of yellowfin snappers here, which gave them a big feast. Yu Shengnan and the others had just finished fishing and had eaten not long ago, so they didn't have much desire for the small Antarctic shrimp.

Fish Two came out to see if there was a girl he could flirt with, but he didn't expect that girl to be on the other side of the Antarctic shrimp. When Fish Two swam over, he happened to see the motionless Antarctic shrimp. He remembered that the guy seemed to be jumping for a while and must be tired. It seemed more appropriate to bring the shrimp over as a gift...

As soon as Yu Lao Er took a bite, he regretted it. "You Lao Liu, I didn't even want to eat it, but it jumped for a long time and it turned out to be a Japanese soldier. You killed me..."

When Qiao Shan saw Yu Shengnan catch a fish, he suddenly felt hope again. However, he didn't expect that hope would turn into results so quickly. With a "chi" sound, the fishing line cut through the air, and the sound was so intoxicating!
