Chapter 116 An Unsuccessful Start?



Wu An listened to the advice and quickly returned to the cabin.

It's called a cabin, but it's really just a simple shed. After all, it's just an ordinary small boat, and there's nothing to make it more comfortable.

The most important thing about fishing boats is that they are used to go out to sea to fish, support their families, and make money.

If you're looking for a life of comfort, then you might as well stay at home.

When we have the money in the future, we can buy a bigger ship. The bigger the ship, the more complete the supporting facilities will be.

Old Mai handed him a bottle of water while he was driving the boat.

Wu An quickly took the water bottle, rinsed his mouth, but still felt dizzy and nauseous.

I feel like throwing up.

Old Mai joked, "You seem quite enthusiastic about buying fishing boats, but I didn't expect you to get seasick."

"If you keep doing this, how are you going to go out to sea to fish?"

Wu An shook his head.

I don't want to talk at all.

He was afraid that he might accidentally vomit.

Despite growing up by the sea, he has hardly ever been on a boat in his entire life.

The last time I took a boat was when I took a ferry to university.

The ferry is larger and doesn't rock as much as the small fishing boat. Although it's a bit uncomfortable, it's not as intense as it is now.

He sat down and half-reclined, looking up at the ceiling of the shed. Once he felt a little more comfortable, he said, "I'll bear with it a little longer. I'll start baiting when we get there."

Old Mai laughed heartily.

As he laughed, he asked curiously, "I saw that Love seemed more flustered than you just now, why aren't you coming in?"

Wu An also felt strange. Despite his discomfort, he sat up and called out, "Aqing, why aren't you coming in?"

Ah Qing cried out, "Brother, I can't move."

"..." Wu An was stunned and quickly went out to check the situation. He saw that A Qing's face was pale, and he was sitting close to the side of the boat with his hands gripping the side tightly. He could clearly see the veins bulging, and he knew that A Qing was very nervous.

Just as a wave was about to crash over, the fishing boat suddenly lifted up and then sank down. With the waves, the boat tilted and rocked, and Ah Qing's body tilted to the side, screaming in fright.

Wu An quickly squatted down, grabbed his shoulders, and comforted him, "Aqing, don't be afraid."

"Don't worry, the boat won't capsize, and you won't fall in."

"Relax, relax, follow me and take deep breaths, inhale...exhale..."

Aqing followed suit, and it took her a while to calm down before she said, "Brother, I've embarrassed you."

Wu An said, "We're both equally bad."

He never expected that the first difficulty they would encounter when going out to sea to fish would be themselves.

Aqing shook her head: "Brother, I don't see that you're scared at all."

Wu An hesitated for a moment and said, "But I feel like throwing up."

Aqing scratched her head: "Huh? Brother, you're pregnant?"

“You’re the one who’s pregnant.” Wu An slapped him on the back of the head and said, “Stop talking nonsense here. I’ll help you up and back to your cabin.”

Ah Qing returned to the cabin and sat down. She smiled at Old Mai, but the smile was stiff and awkward. She said, "The movies are all lies."

"I noticed that the male and female leads on the Titanic stood on the bow of the ship without moving an inch."

Wu An said, "We have the same kind of ship as them, so we can't compare."

"When we have money in the future, we'll buy a big ship too."

"Not only will the ship be stable then, but we can also have a party on it."

Aqing asked, "What is a party?"

Wu An casually replied, "Just for fun."

You'll find out later.

“yue”.

"Old Mike, when are you getting here?"

Old Mai said, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon."

"There's an uninhabited island ahead. The resources nearby are pretty good. I've been here twice."

Wu An asked, "What did you catch?"

"..." Old Mai was silent for a while, then said, "Someone caught a grouper weighing over ten pounds."

About 10 minutes later, the fishing boat stopped.

Old Mai greeted them, "We've arrived."

How are you two doing?

Wu An took a sip of water and said, "I feel much better."

Aqing nodded in agreement.

Stepping out of the cabin, I saw a small island not far away. The island looked bare, with hardly any vegetation.

The waves crashed against the jagged rocks, splashing up rolling spray.

It is called an uninhabited island because there are risks involved in landing on it.

If you're not careful where you step, you might slip and fall, and a wave could easily knock you down.

Fishermen would not risk landing on the island if they could make money elsewhere.

They also did not go ashore.

Old Mike said, "Let's fish here."

Wu An and A Qing naturally had no objections.

Thanks to the complex marine environment surrounding the island, there is a relatively abundant supply of fish in this area.

Fishing here is definitely better than fishing at the beach.

Looking into the distance, you can see two fishing boats, but they are far away and not very clear.

It's still the fishing moratorium, so fishing boats definitely can't operate normally; they're probably just here to fish.

The regulatory efforts are now very strong, and few fishermen would risk taking such a risk.

Although the fishing moratorium imposes significant restrictions on fishermen, it doesn't mean they can't make money.

You can come here to fish, go to the deserted island to go beachcombing, and some people will also pump water from the puddles.

In short, as long as you are diligent and daring, you can always make money by the sea.

Old Mai had prepared a lot of fishing rods. Seeing that Wu An and A Qing each had one, he laughed and said, "I really have too many stationery items for a poor student."

Wu An smiled but didn't say anything; he was still resisting the urge to bait the spot.

It was already a little past 2 p.m.

The sun hung terrifyingly large on the horizon, and all three of them were fully armed, concealing themselves completely.

Although it avoids being exposed to the sun, it's still stuffy and uncomfortable.

I can't worry about that anymore.

Pick up the fishing rod and bait it.

All three cast their rods at the same time.

Looking at the fishing line, Wu An suddenly felt much better. A Qing shouted to see who would catch a fish first, and seemed less nervous.

The fishing rod has already been blessed with luck.

Old Mai's own catch was his personal property, and Wu An didn't make a big deal out of it.

As a friend, you can't be too stingy.

Not long after.

Wu An was the first to catch a fish, but the pull was very weak. He quickly reeled in the line, and the fish was soon brought to the surface.

“Master Shi Jiu.”

He was somewhat disappointed, so he flew the fish directly onto the deck. It looked quite big, and since it was the first fish, he removed the hook and threw the fish into the bucket next to him.

Old Mai shouted, "I'm open for business too!"

Soon they also pulled up Shi Jiugong.

The same goes for Aqing.

Wu An didn't pay much attention at first, but when Shi Jiugong was brought up three times in a row, he knew something was wrong.

Old Mai did manage to get a sole fillet, but it wasn't much more expensive than Shi Jiugong's.

I fished for half an hour, and besides sole, water bream, three-toothed fish, and dragonhead fish, they were mostly priced from a few yuan to more than ten yuan per kilogram.

If three people fish for half a day and then sell the catch, after deducting the cost of fuel and labor, they basically won't have much money left.

In short.

If we keep fishing like this, this trip to sea will be a loss.
