The fish that had taken the bait thrashed about in the sea, desperately trying to break free of its restraints.
As the big fish struggled, the fishing rod in Xiang Wanwan's hand transformed into a fully drawn bow.
Although Lu Jingnian made the fishing rod for her on short notice, it seems to be of pretty good quality; it hasn't broken even after being stretched like this.
The two people standing nearby were shocked by what they saw and quickly came over to help reel in the fish.
The three of them took turns playing the fish, and after more than ten minutes, they finally managed to tire it out.
Finally, the big fish stopped struggling, and Xiang Wanwan immediately reeled in her line.
Her hands were trembling slightly after playing with the fish for so long.
The three of them stared intently at the sea, waiting to see what this large fish, weighing over ten kilograms, was.
Xiang Wanwan reeled in the line for a while, and slowly a large, silvery-white sea bass leaped out of the water not far away, creating a huge splash.
"My God, this sea bass is so big, it must weigh at least ten pounds."
Xiang Wanwan never expected that it would be such a big sea bass.
Sea bass are relatively large and strong, with firm and elastic flesh. Importantly, they have few bones, making them a good choice for steaming or pan-frying.
It seems that a sea bass this big can only be used for frying or making soup.
She continued reeling in the line, while the old man next to her helped her with his long-handled net.
Finally, the big bass was caught.
After they got started, the two old men next to her were even happier than Xiang Wanwan, carrying the fish and laughing heartily.
"This fish is big, it must weigh more than ten pounds, it must weigh at least sixteen or seventeen pounds."
"I've been fishing my whole life, and I've never caught one this big."
"I caught it."
Xiang Wanwan reminded her from the side.
These are the fish she caught!
"We also helped."
The two retorted.
After catching this big fish, Xiang Wanwan prepared to go back, since this one fish was equivalent to two days of beachcombing.
Before she left, she gave each of the two old men a few strips of yellow wax as a token of her gratitude.
When Xiang Wanwan carried the large fish across the beach, she attracted a crowd of onlookers.
"Wow, this is incredible! Comrade Xiang actually caught such a big fish!"
"I've never seen such a big fish in all the years I've been on the island. It's really rare!"
"That's right, if you ask me, Comrade Xiang is the most capable. She's the luckiest when it comes to beachcombing, and she's got the biggest catch!"
At this moment, Sister Wang also came over carrying a bucket.
All afternoon, she only had one blue crab and about half a pound of razor clams in the bucket.
However, it's still much better than getting nothing at all this morning.
Her eyes widened when she saw the big fish in Xiang Wanwan's hand.
"Wanwan, did you catch this?"
"Yes, sister-in-law. Let's go back!"
"Okay, okay! I'll help you lift it."
Sister-in-law Wang rushed forward to help.
The women who had come to watch the spectacle saw her carrying the big fish home, and then, having found neither gold nor anything of value, they all left disappointed.
Just as Xiang Wanwan arrived at the door, Lu Jingnian's car arrived as well.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw her and Sister Wang carrying a fish, with a bucket in their other hand, walking with difficulty.
Lu Jingnian immediately stepped forward and took the large fish from their hands.
He looked at Xiang Wanwan and asked, "Did you catch that?"
"Yeah, I'm awesome, aren't I!"
Lu Jingnian gave it a indulgent look, "Hmm, pretty impressive."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Sao next to him.
"Sister-in-law, the logistics department made a mistake in calculating the supplies they gave you. They will deliver them to you in person tomorrow."
Sister-in-law Wang was stunned.
She had mentioned this to Wanwan before. She had always thought that Chen De had made a mistake, and that he was away on a mission, which was why there were so few supplies.
