Several anglers who had stopped fishing came over to watch.
"No way, guys."
"How can you guys catch fish one after another?"
"Wow, this sea bass must weigh over two pounds."
“I’ve been fishing here since yesterday, and I’ve seen at least ten people leave this place. I thought you guys would be gone too, but you guys are really lucky.”
Several fishermen started chatting incessantly next to them.
Wu An casually remarked, "Maybe they baited the spot and we got a great deal."
The fisherman exclaimed enviously, "Damn, you guys are really lucky."
“Old Mai is right, there really hasn’t been time for barbecue.” Gao Qiangqi caught a black sea bream, threw it into his fishing box, picked up a skewer of grilled meat from the side, grabbed a handful and handed it to a few other anglers, saying, “Hey guys, have some.”
The fishermen immediately beamed with joy.
I feel much better now.
Wu An asked, "Brother Qiang, these people come over and say all sorts of nonsense, and you still give them skewers to eat?"
Gao Qiangqi smiled and said, "How can we shut them up if we don't give them anything?"
"I'm afraid that if the fish are gone, I'll get angry and blame them."
"Then they'll be in trouble."
Wu An suddenly realized.
Old Fang smiled and said, "Anyway, we don't have time to eat."
Old Mai didn't even have time to speak. The fish kept getting bigger and bigger. He was getting old and didn't have enough strength. He had to use all his strength to pull a fish up.
Wu An casts his line and baits the hook.
Soon a fish took a bite.
But it didn't feel very strong, so I quickly reeled in the line.
The fish was pulled to the surface, and it turned out to be a squid. Just as I was about to fly the squid over, with the lights on, I suddenly saw a dark shadow rushing up from the water towards the surface.
"What the heck is that?"
The idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
The next moment.
Water splashed, and before I could even see what kind of fish it was, I saw its gaping maw swallow the squid whole, and then it was tugged by the fishing line.
It then fell into the water, and the drag on the reel was pulled, causing the fishing line to be released quickly.
Wu An was a little confused.
Why are you playing the game of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, just to catch fish?
Old Mai was standing nearby, having just tossed the fish into the fish basket. Hearing something was wrong, he immediately shone his light on and asked, "Ah An, what's wrong?"
Wu An said, "I caught a squid, but a fish rushed out and ate it."
Old Mai's eyes widened: "Is that so?"
Gao Qiangqi laughed heartily: "Maybe Ah An caught someone's dinner, and they got angry."
Old Fang laughed along with him.
Old Mai asked, "What kind of fish is it?"
Wu An shook his head: "It happened too suddenly, I didn't see it clearly."
He tried to reel in the line and found that the pulling force was very strong, and it didn't come off the hook. He excitedly shouted, "I couldn't pull it up!"
It took him five minutes to pull the fish up.
Old Mai didn't bait the net; instead, he took the landing net and scooped up the fish. Seeing this, Wu An finally breathed a sigh of relief, having been holding his breath the whole time.
I was afraid that if I exhaled, the fish would get off the hook.
Thankfully, no.
Otherwise, I'd probably dream about this tonight.
"Ah An, it's a catshark."
Old Mai's voice was filled with joy.
Wu An was also quite happy. He knew about cat sharks; they weren't cheap and were quite ornamental. If they found the right owner, they could fetch a good price.
"Ah An's luck is truly unbeatable; he even managed to catch this fish."
"President Qin should really like this fish."
"We can ask President Qin later to see if he'll accept it."
As Gao Qiangqi spoke, he quickly took the fish out of his fishing box and put them all with Lao Mai, leaving the empty fishing box for the cat shark.
Wu An glanced at the fishing rod; his luck value was down to only 1 point.
I thought I could fish for another hour, but this time I pulled up a catshark, and my luck was instantly wiped out.
"Wow, we caught another catshark."
"Not to mention others, even I am envious."
Old Fang couldn't help but shout loudly.
Their catch was also quite good; in addition to the more common sea fish, they also caught two groupers, both of which were quite large, making the surrounding anglers extremely envious.
Wu An's fishing rod lost its luck factor, and the speed at which he caught fish decreased significantly. Occasionally, he would catch tilapia or other inexpensive sea fish.
He simply took a break.
He was exhausted after a busy day. Night fishing was unplanned, and after fishing for so long, he was already feeling very tired.
We sat down, had some drinks and barbecue, worked up a sweat, and felt a cool sea breeze – it was quite pleasant.
There are just a lot of mosquitoes.
After fishing for another half hour, the three of them ran out of luck one after another. The fish stopped biting, and the speed at which they caught fish became slower and slower.
Old Mai was the first to stop: "I'm not fishing anymore, fishing at night is quite tiring."
Upon seeing this, Gao Qiangqi and Lao Fang also put away their rods.
Looking at the time, it was almost midnight. Gao Qiangqi's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a message from President Qin. He smiled and said, "President Qin is still awake. He asked how our harvest went."
"Let's pack up, take some photos and videos, and go show them to him."
Old Fang nodded: "Yes, we should make sure he doesn't come, or he'll regret it and regret it."
Everyone put their fishing boxes and fish baskets together and took a bunch of photos. Gao Qiangqi didn't send them to President Qin separately, but sent them directly to the group chat.
The group chat was instantly filled with excitement.
Some people questioned how so many fish could have been caught in just two or three hours.
You probably bought it at the market.
Some people pointed out Gao Qiangqi's identity, saying that he was a seafood business owner and didn't need to buy any, as he had his own seafood.
Gao Qiangqi took another photo of the catshark, and this time everyone stopped questioning it.
Then, another angler who had eaten the barbecue earlier came forward to testify, proving that Gao Qiangqi and his group had caught fish one after another, and only then did the chat quiet down.
As for that "tiger descending the mountain" guy, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but Wu An guessed that this person was probably spying on the screen, and he must be in a bad mood after seeing all this.
President Qin sent a message saying he regretted not going along and specifically asked for two cat sharks.
They quickly packed their things and left.
First, they took Gao Qiangqi and Lao Fang to the market, and then Lao Mai and Wu An went to the restaurant.
President Qin waited expectantly at the door.
Upon seeing the two catsharks, he was overjoyed and said, "Wild catsharks, that's really rare. Let's not buy them by weight. I'll keep them for display. How about 1000 each?"
Wu An naturally had no objections.
Old Fang also mentioned the price of catfish, which is around 200 yuan per kilogram. The market price is constantly changing, and if President Qin buys them individually, it's definitely a premium.
After leaving the restaurant, Wu An didn't go back home, but instead went home with Lao Mai.
He's going to the county for an exam tomorrow, and it would be too much of a hassle to go back to Xiaoxi Village at this time. When Lao Mai found out, he said that since he was going to take an exam, why was he going fishing with them? He told Lao Mai to hurry up and take him home.
When they arrived at Old Mai's house, Wu An nodded repeatedly. Although the house looked a bit dilapidated on the outside, the interior was very well decorated and the furniture was very stylish.
As soon as Wu An entered the living room, Mai Hangyu came out of his room. Wu An said, "Sorry to wake you up."
Mai Hangyu, full of energy: "Brother, I didn't wake you up, I haven't fallen asleep yet."
Wu An glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 1 a.m. and he was still awake. He was indeed a young man.
Old Mai gave a few words of advice.
Wu An wasn't in the mood for idle chatter; he was extremely tired. Old Mai brought him a clean towel, and he quickly rinsed off before returning to his room to rest.
The next morning.
He and Lao Mai got up early and called Mai Hangyu twice but couldn't wake him. Lao Mai didn't mind. That's just how his grandson is at home. He didn't think it was a big deal. It's good for him to relax at home.
After the meal, Wu An boarded a bus to the county.
Min sent him a message telling him to relax and that he'd pass easily.
When they arrived at the exam hall, it was no wonder that Brother Min was so confident, because it was essentially an open-book exam. Originally, he was still a little skeptical when Brother Min said that, but when he saw the scene, he realized that Brother Min was being conservative. There were even some losers who directly asked the proctor for the answers.
The proctor actually answered.
If he can't even pass this test, then he might as well just smash his head against a block of tofu and die.
Wu An thought about it and realized that although the restrictions were starting to tighten, there were still loopholes to exploit.
Min Ge didn't do nothing either. After finishing the theory exam in the morning, I had lunch with Min Ge. Since I had a practical exam in the afternoon, I didn't drink much, just a few bottles of beer each.
Wu An originally didn't drink, but Brother Min said that he would drink a little for small tests and a lot for big tests.
Wu An was powerless to refute this set of fallacies and heresies.
Furthermore, since he plans to build his business in the sea, he will likely have to deal with Brother Min frequently, and it would be even more difficult for him to disrespect Brother Min.
They ate and drank their fill.
He went to take the exam full of confidence, but when he arrived, he couldn't even do anything himself. The people there were afraid he would crash the boat, so to be on the safe side, they just took him for a spin around and that was considered passing.
Wu An was happy to relax and chatted with someone on his phone. He didn't chat with Gu Anran, but instead sent messages to Lin Hu.
