Wu An checked the time; it was only a little past ten in the morning, meaning he could fish until lunchtime.
In the afternoon, I still need to collect the fish traps and longline fishing rods, and after that, I should head to the pier.
The fishing time is only a little over two hours at most, so each person is only given two points of luck.
Fishing for fun, just for fun, that's enough.
After all, they've already taken up the profession of fisherman; going out to sea isn't for fun, but to earn money to support their families.
The main methods are still using fish traps and longline fishing.
After a while, I'll bring Gu Anran along. We won't be here to make money; we'll just have a good time.
Right now, making money is still the main priority.
He was the last to cast his line, and as soon as he threw it down, he felt the pull.
Did you win?
Hit in seconds?
Wu An was somewhat surprised and subconsciously raised the lever.
Aqing exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, you're so fast?"
Mai Hangyu grinned mischievously: "Did it last three seconds?"
Old Mai also caught a fish.
Then he frowned and realized that the tension was not quite right.
Wu An quickly reeled in the line, pulling a large squid onto the surface of the sea.
Finally, it flew onto the deck.
Old Mai also got caught up in the mess, though he was much smaller than Wu An.
Wu An's fish was about the size of his arm, while Lao Mai's was only the size of his palm.
Wow, squid!
"They're all squid. Have we encountered a swarm of squid?"
Aqing and Mai Hangyu were two chatterboxes. As they talked, they bent their fishing rods and quickly pulled them up, and sure enough, they caught two squid.
However, none of them are as big as Wu An's.
"Brother, yours must weigh about two pounds, right?" Aqing compared the squid she caught with Wu An's, and it was much smaller.
He asked, "Is this valuable?"
Wu An shook his head. Now that the fishing season is open, the price is probably only around ten yuan per kilogram.
Larger ones might be more expensive.
However, he didn't know the specific price and would have to ask Gao Qiangqi to find out.
If you use a trawler net, you can catch hundreds or even thousands of kilograms in one go, which is quite profitable.
But now.
Even if the four of them fished like crazy, they wouldn't make much money.
However, it would be nice to eat this squid by myself.
Looking at the fresh squid, Wu An thought of grilled squid and couldn't help but swallow.
In his previous life, the food he ate most often when he was away from home was grilled squid, which was either soaked in chemicals or flash-frozen. It was cheap and delicious.
Fresh squid is definitely more delicious.
Upon hearing that it wasn't worth much, Aqing looked at the squid and his smile vanished. He picked up the squid he and Wu An had shared and casually tossed it into the cold storage.
Wu An said, "The one I had just now is enough to make a whole plate of stir-fry. Let's have it for lunch."
Mai Hangyu raised his hand: "Bai Zhuo, Bai Zhuo."
"Dipped in seafood sauce, it's incredibly fresh and sweet."
"How is it?"
Wu An nodded; he naturally didn't care.
Old Mai said, "If you're looking for freshness and sweetness, it's best to eat it right away."
"This is the best rocket squid ever."
"Let me demonstrate for you."
The squid they caught had transparent bodies with a hint of red, like pieces of Hetian jade with red skin. They were about the length of his forearm, slightly thicker than his thumb, long and with extremely beautiful lines.
It's like a rocket.
Wu An guessed that this was probably how it got its name.
Squid fishing is mostly done at night. When you shine a light on them, the squid will gather around.
Whether you fish or catch fish, you can have a bountiful harvest.
Old Mai picked up the squid, grabbed it by the head, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and then sucked hard.
He ate while nodding, looking very satisfied.
Aqing and Mai Hangyu stared intently at him, their Adam's apples bobbing, and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Old Mai swallowed and said, "The texture is very good, it's glutinous."
"Very fresh and sweet."
Wu An watched with envy, thinking, "Does this really taste good?"
If he catches a small one later, he'll give it a try; this is a unique kind of romance for fishermen.
Let's continue fishing.
Sure enough, there was a squid nest under the fishing boat.
Old Mai was puzzled as to why they could catch squid so quickly, even though they weren't using hooks specifically for squid fishing.
Could it be that the squid in the sea are just waiting, biting the hook as soon as they see it?
"Oh dear, it's even spraying seawater."
"Damn, it sprayed me with something! And this thing even uses magic attacks."
Ah Qing and Mai Hangyu were shouting and yelling, saying that these squid would basically spray seawater or ink when they came out of the water.
You might accidentally get sprayed in the face.
Wu An pulled hard, but couldn't pull it up.
Old Mai saw this and said, "Don't pull too hard when you pull the squid, or you'll easily break its tentacles."
Wu An nodded, and after catching a few, he had gained some experience.
After catching several rocket squid the size of an arm, I finally caught a small one.
He grabbed it in his hand.
He took a closer look and the color was indeed very tempting. Then the ink splattered, and he instinctively flinched, only to find that he hadn't managed to dodge at all.
The clothes are ruined.
Double the happiness.
Wu An was overjoyed. He washed the rocket with water and looked at the raindrops. They were truly a feast for the eyes, so beautiful. He then ate them directly, just like Old Mai had done earlier.
I took a bite, and it was full of the taste of the sea.
It is indeed very fresh and sweet.
He had expected a fishy smell, but there wasn't.
"Not bad, delicious."
Wu An was very satisfied. Being a fisherman was not bad; he could enjoy fresh seafood.
Ah Qing caught a baby squid, removed the hook, and said gently, "Baby, listen to your uncle, you're too small. Go and call your parents."
After saying that, he threw the baby squid back, turned around and saw that Wu An had caught another big fish. He shouted, "Brother, you caught the ancestor of squid!"
Wu An laughed heartily.
The squid was so big and beautiful, its whole body fiery red, that it made his mouth water.
After catching this giant squid, my luck stat was reset to zero.
I checked the time and it was already 11:30. Before I knew it, I had been fishing for more than an hour. Compared to catching fish one after another, catching squid is much easier.
That's quite interesting.
When squid emerges from the water, it must first dodge the sprayed seawater and ink, making it quite fun.
Without the luck bonus, you can no longer catch squid just by casting your line.
Wu An decided to stop fishing and shouted, "You guys continue, I'll go clean up. We're having a whole squid feast today."
First, I prepared a rocket squid sashimi, using local knife skills. The main feature was the large portion, no need for wasabi, and the taste was fragrant and delicious.
The main problem was that we forgot to bring the wasabi due to limited resources.
I also took one boiled and two stir-fried.
After finishing, Lao Mai and his crew packed up their fishing rods. Seeing the dishes, even on the boat, they couldn't resist taking out a beer and drinking.
"This is too outrageous!"
"So what? What's that saying again? The brave enjoy the world first, while the cowardly live forever in the fear they create."
"cheers."
"Brother's right, let's have a drink."
"Let's do it!"
