Old Mai and Ah Qing pulled the fish up one after another. Seeing that Wu An was still struggling with the fish, they knew that another big fish had been caught, so they quickly came over to check.
What kind of fish?
"Are you still laying out the line?"
"I don't know. It's been swimming for quite a while now, and it hasn't lost any strength. It feels about the same as a three-knife fish."
"That's almost certainly true."
"Yeah, bro, you're lucky, you'll definitely catch a three-knife fish."
Although they caught fish in a row, they only pulled up ordinary sea fish. A dozen of them together were not worth as much as a single three-knife fish.
It took almost ten minutes for the fish to lose its energy.
The moment it emerged from the water, Ah Qing and Lao Mai shouted in unison, "Three-knife fish! It really is a three-knife fish! Bro, you're awesome!"
Wu An laughed along with him.
Depend on.
He also felt that he was pretty awesome.
Old Mai carefully placed the fish into the bucket and said, "It's a bit bigger than the first one, probably weighing about three pounds."
Wu An nodded; clearly, his luck had fallen on fishing today.
Or was it thanks to the fishing boats?
Once he buys a trawler, will he only need to buff the trawler with good luck, send the workers out to sea, and then lie at home counting his money?
To grow bigger and stronger.
Let's build a fleet!
Wu An felt happier the more he thought about it.
However, the subsequent encounters with the Nine Masters of the Stone Clan calmed him down.
Seeing that it was almost midnight and his luck had just reached zero, he simply put away his fishing rod and said, "You guys keep fishing, I'm going to cook."
He caught two three-knife fish, which greatly depleted his luck points. Ah Qing and Lao Mai's fishing rods still had luck points left, and the two of them responded without turning their heads.
Fortunately, I did a big shopping spree at the supermarket, so I was well-prepared and even had a rice cooker to use.
First, let the rice steam.
Then, boil some stone ginseng to make a soup, add some chopped tofu, and a pot of stone ginseng tofu soup is ready.
Since it was on a fishing boat, the conditions were basic, and we could only sit for a short while.
I took a smaller red snapper to braise and another sea bass to steam.
I also made a side of water spinach with garlic sauce, and lunch was ready.
Given these conditions, the main focus will definitely be on seafood.
He called out, and Ah Qing and Lao Mai reluctantly put away their fishing rods. Seeing how many dishes Wu An had prepared, Lao Mai exclaimed, "This is too lavish!"
Aqing said, "My brother arranged for me to buy them all."
Wu An smiled and took out a note: "It's not me, it's my sister-in-law."
Old Mai took it and looked at it.
Wu An explained, "This is a shopping list that my sister-in-law made. She said that it's not easy for us to earn money, so we can't treat ourselves too badly."
"She was worried and had originally planned to come along to help with the shopping."
"I had to persuade her not to come along. Otherwise, we agreed that she wouldn't be willing to call a car and would definitely walk back by herself."
Old Mai nodded: "Your sister-in-law is a good person."
Wu An smiled. Having such a kind and considerate sister-in-law was a blessing for him.
After washing their hands, they sat down on the ground and started eating. Ah Qing and Lao Mai were very accommodating and kept praising how delicious it was.
After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, it was already a little past one in the afternoon.
The sun is extremely strong.
After eating and drinking your fill, you'll feel sleepy.
Old Mai was getting on in years, and he sat on the ground leaning against the shed, yawning constantly. Ah Qing was doing the same. Wu An said, "Let's rest for a bit before we start fishing again."
The two of them had no objections, each lay down, put their straw hats over their heads, and soon began to snore.
On the island opposite.
The teenagers were eating their lunchboxes. The food was cold, but it was hot, so it didn't matter.
The couple was still busy working, and with the tide receding, they had no time to eat.
Make money while you can!
After the teenager finished eating and went to put away his lunchbox, his wife asked, "What are those fishermen on the fishing boat doing?"
The teenager shook his head: "I saw them eating just now, but now they're quiet."
The man said, "Go to sleep."
The woman pouted, "He must not have caught any fish, otherwise how could he sleep?"
The man nodded, agreeing that it made sense.
...
When Wu An woke up, he glanced at the time and it was already 2:30 in the afternoon. He had only slept for a little over an hour, but he felt even more tired.
I washed my face with water and moved around a bit before I felt much better.
Ah Qing and Lao Mai woke up soon after. Lao Mai drank a cup of tea and looked at the energetic Ah Qing with a hint of envy in his eyes.
There were exactly 15 luck points left, and everyone gained 5 points.
Old Mai started the fishing boat and got closer to the island.
After the ship stopped.
Fishing begins.
Fishing also depends on the tides; the sea is half-drowsy right now, which is a good time for fishing.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't care.
Wu An quickly caught a fish.
To their surprise, they pulled up a rock bream.
During this period of time, Wu An has also learned about the prices of general seafood. Rock sea bream looks similar to black sea bream, but the price difference is actually quite large.
The price of rock sea bream is higher than that of ordinary grouper, and the price is expected to rise further in the future.
Ah Qing and Lao Mai were the same; when they pulled up three fish, one of them was always a rock bream.
Ah Qing was very happy: "Brother, it's another sea bream! I've caught another sea bream."
Old Mai was also very happy: "Me too."
Wu An smiled and nodded. A Qing held the fishing line and lifted the fish into the air. The rock bream was still struggling, showing great vitality.
I accidentally hit him in the face.
"Ouch!" Ah Qing cried out in pain, feeling a burning sensation on her face.
As Wu An watched, half of A Qing's face turned red at a visible speed.
Aqing touched her face, on the verge of tears.
Wu An quickly shouted, "Damn it, I'll eat it tonight to avenge you!"
Aqing nodded vigorously.
Old Mai laughed heartily, feeling much younger as he stood with Wu An and A Qing.
I fished for another hour or so. Although I didn't catch any more three-knife fish, I did catch quite a few rock bream, which was pretty good.
As their luck points ran out, the rate at which they caught fish dropped significantly, but the three of them continued fishing nonetheless.
The three of them stopped fishing when they ran out of bait.
I checked the time; it was already past four in the afternoon, almost five.
After fishing for another two hours, Wu An breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he had run out of bait. Otherwise, he was afraid his arm would be ruined if he continued fishing like this.
He's been eating a lot of meat and fish every day lately, but he hasn't gained any weight at all.
Eating more leads to more energy expenditure, which isn't entirely without its benefits; my abdomen is already showing the initial outline of abdominal muscles.
Ah Qing rubbed her arms and said, "Brother, this is really tiring. I don't know how those anglers who fish for two or three days in a row manage to keep going."
Old Mai laughed and said, "They don't have the same luck as us, catching fish one after another. If they're unlucky, they might not even catch a few fish in a day."
Aqing suddenly realized.
After a quick tidy-up, Old Mai went to set sail. Ah Qing had completely overcome his fear of the sea, and as he left, he waved to the teenagers peeking out from the island.
Wu An also felt fine; it seemed that the two voyages at sea had gradually helped them adapt.
Aside from the three-knife fish I caught at the beginning, today was another ordinary yet fulfilling day.
this is life.
There weren't many ups and downs; he was already quite content with earning ten thousand yuan a day.
On the island.
The teenager waved in response.
Soon his parents called him, saying that the tide was about to come in and they were too tired to continue.
The teenagers helped carry it.
Although the couple was tired, they were very happy. They had collected a lot of sea snails and some sea bream, which they were sure they could sell for a good price when they got back, much better than just going beachcombing.
The woman asked curiously, "Did that fishing boat leave?"
The child nodded.
The man casually asked, "Did you see them catch any fish?"
The child nodded again.
The man asked, "How many did you catch?"
The child hesitated: "There are so many fish I caught, I can't even count them all."
"Unlike Dad, when you go fishing, you only catch one fish every half hour."
"They can pull one up in just a few minutes."
The woman and the man were stunned.
"Really?"
"real."
"Oh my God, such a good fishing season, and I just missed it."
The man slapped his thigh and cried out, blaming the woman for stopping him. Otherwise, he could have easily caught a few fish and earned more than he did from collecting snails.
The woman didn't dare to talk back, and said, "Didn't they leave? Then go and try fishing where they were."
The man nodded: "Okay, okay, let's get ready quickly."
