Thankfully, the stove is big enough, so the grilling process is quick.
Properly prepared pomfret does taste better, with more layers of flavor and texture.
After eating and drinking for almost an hour, Fu Yongning went out onto the deck to grill several more times.
Wu An asked A Qing to bring over a few more bottles of wine.
There wasn't much to do at night, and with swordfish swimming around the fishing boat, he didn't plan to work after dark.
Since we're just killing time anyway, we might as well have a good drink.
It's mainly barbecue, which is very satisfying. If you don't drink some alcohol, it just feels like something's missing.
Unlimited supply, eat as much as you want, and you can get more once one batch is finished.
This is even better than eating at a buffet in a restaurant!
Wu An took a pomfret and said while eating, "Those who can drink should drink more."
"They won't start work until dawn tomorrow."
"Even if you get drunk, it's okay, there's plenty of time to sober up."
Upon hearing this, the two Fan brothers cheered excitedly.
Both brothers are quite heavy drinkers.
I've had drinks before, and I never refuse a drink at the table.
However, on the ship, the two brothers were quite restrained. When they drank together, they would only drink one bottle and then stop.
Fan Dali said, "Ah An, really?"
Wu An nodded.
Fan Dali said, "Then I can let go."
Fan Xiaozhu took the wine and said, "Brother, I'll have two more bottles."
Fan Dali nodded: "I'm about the same."
After eating and drinking for about half an hour, Old Fu said he was done and stood up.
Wu An was somewhat surprised: "Old Fu, is it done already?"
Don't let Old Fu's age fool you; he can outdrink even the Fan brothers combined.
I usually use this tin bottle that holds medicinal liquor, and I take a sip or two whenever I have a spare moment.
The medicinal wine he brews is not only good for the body, but also very potent, beyond the reach of most people.
Old Fu nodded: "I won't drink anymore. I'm too old, and it's too uncomfortable to eat at night."
"You all eat and drink as you please, don't worry about me."
Old Fu walked around the deck, but found no trace of the swordfish, so he turned and went into the cockpit.
He was really worried because swordfish were hunting all around him.
Late at night, visibility is limited, and swordfish swim very fast, making them difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.
He had a hunch that the swordfish was still nearby.
We must keep watch.
In case of any emergencies at night, we can react immediately.
...
Wu An drank three bottles in total, finishing the last sip and slamming the glass face down on the table.
Aqing saw this and said, "Brother, you're not drinking anymore?"
Wu An nodded: "I ate too much, my stomach is so full, I can't drink anymore."
"You guys eat your food, I'm going out for some fresh air."
We arrived on the deck.
Like Old Fu, he circled the fishing boat before finally heading to the wheelhouse.
Old Fu was smoking when he saw him coming over: "Have you had too much to drink?"
"No."
"Then you don't need to stay with me. I can keep watch by myself tonight."
"Hmm, I'm not sleepy yet. Lao Fu, how far is it from the trench?"
Old Fu thought for a moment: "At full speed, it will only take about two hours."
"What do you think about us heading straight to the vicinity of the trench now?"
Old Fu pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are you worried about the swordfish?"
Wu An nodded: "Although A Qing is a bit unreliable, it's quite troublesome that the swordfish won't leave this area."
Old Fu said, "We can leave now. How about this... we'll turn off all the other lights later, leaving only the searchlight on."
"Will it work?"
"It's not a big problem."
"Then let's weigh anchor and make our escape tonight."
Wu An made a quick decision: the swordfish was too ferocious; we could only avoid it.
Although swordfish can be caught, it's risky, and he still wants to make money with his brothers in a safe and stable way.
Always consider the cost-effectiveness.
In his eyes, risking danger to fish for swordfish was far less desirable than trawls.
soon.
The fishing boat started.
When everyone came out to inquire, they learned that the boat was sailing to the trench overnight. Although sailing at night was a bit risky, since Old Fu was sailing, no one said much.
Old Fu didn't speed up too much; he kept the speed about a third slower than normal.
Wu An had been looking through binoculars, not looking for swordfish, because those things were too fast to see.
He was watching the school of fish.
The fish didn't seem to follow; only occasionally did a few fish dart out of the water, attracted by the light.
An hour later.
Old Fu said, "Ah An, we've reached the vicinity of the trench."
"Um."
"Then stop the ship."
"We can take a break now."
When we arrived at the lounge, everyone had already eaten and drunk their fill. Although we had drunk quite a bit, no one was drunk.
Wu An said everyone could drink freely, but since they were on a ship, they should only listen to what the boss said and not take it too seriously.
The Fan brothers are tidying up.
Wu An quickly rinsed off and had just lain down when he heard a familiar and crisp sound.
He suddenly sat up.
It's Tiger!
Wu Anxing rushed to the deck and shone his light in the direction of the sound. Just then, he saw Hu Zi's big head pop out of the sea.
"Tiger, over here!"
Wu An waved excitedly.
Tiger let out a cheerful cry and quickly swam over, sticking his head out against the side of the boat.
Aqing greeted him cheerfully, "Tiger, good evening! Have you eaten?"
"puff."
Tiger spat water all over his face.
Aqing wiped her face with water; it tasted salty, and she couldn't tell if it was Tiger's saliva or seawater.
He's not someone to be trifled with.
He opened his mouth and spat out tiger cubs.
Tiger immediately dived into the sea, which made Ah Qing so angry that she spat wildly at the surface of the sea.
"You think you can run in the sea? If you're so capable, try not to breathe and just wait to eat my saliva."
After saying that, Aqing couldn't vomit anymore, so she ran into the lounge to get some water.
Wu An was both amused and exasperated.
These two clowns called Mei Wu to get some ice, then shouted twice at the sea, and Tiger cautiously poked his big head out.
Where are your people?
"Call them all here."
"There's plenty of ice."
Wu An greeted him.
With orcas present, swordfish dare not provoke them unless provoked.
Tiger barked twice, and for some reason Wu An could hear fear in his barks.
Aqing came over and called out, "Brother, it seems like Huzi sneaked here."
Wu An's eyes widened: "Really?"
Tiger nodded his big head.
Wu An, drunk, said irritably, "Have you forgotten how you were punished last time you sneaked in?"
"You, you..."
Tiger let out two more pitiful cries.
Aqing said, "Brother, don't talk about him. Didn't I secretly go to see you like this before?"
“Well…” Wu An sighed and said, “Alright, I’m asking you to find me two trawlers.”
"Keep an eye on things for me if you don't have anything else to do."
"I marked one of the two trawlers."
"Can you sense it?"
Tiger hesitated for a moment, then nodded again. Wu An's face lit up with joy: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
"Alright, then you're all set."
"You should go find your people and apologize properly. Maybe you can avoid getting beaten up a few times."
After feeding Tiger some ice, Wu An quickly sent him away.
Wu An was still happy that Hu Zi secretly came to see him, but as a friend, he did not want Hu Zi to be punished by the tribe because of this.
