Chapter 914: Fighting to fish (Extra update for the wish activity)
"Motherfucker, you're so fast!"
A Guang shook off Ye Yaodong's hand on his shoulder. "I've been waiting for a long time and just caught this gap. Our father is also too excessive; he occupied it for most of the day without giving any chance. Am I still his good son-in-law?"
"No!"
A Guang rolled his eyes at him. "The watermelon you guys just ate was also contributed by me."
"The boat you're riding on is still mine, and the fishing rod in your hand is also mine."
A Guang immediately changed his tune. "Hmm, you're my third brother, aren't you? We're all one family, why distinguish between you and me?"
"That works. I'll let you fish for half an hour. Return it to me after half an hour."
"One hour."
"Half an hour, or give it to me now."
"Fine."
"Dongzi, where did you guys get the fishing rod? Can I crawl over and get on your boat?"
A Zheng's boat didn't know when it had rushed up and was right beside them. At this moment, he was leaning on the side of the boat, stretching his neck, putting his two hands around his mouth to act as a loudspeaker, and shouting at them.
"No!"
Before Ye Yaodong could refuse, A Guang shouted his refusal first.
One more person meant one more person taking turns; absolutely not. It was better to let him watch from next door.
The boat was sailing, so no matter how much he wanted to come over, there was no way. How could they stop the boat specifically for him alone? There were so many boats behind him, so he could only scratch his ears and cheeks, watching with envy.
Fishing rod, sigh~ This thing isn't cheap. Where did they get it?
A Guang looked at his envious appearance and was also very proud. It was a good thing he had wisely said he wanted to hitch a ride on Dongzi's boat this morning instead of getting on his own two boats.
Ye Yaodong was also bored, leaning on the side of the boat with a cigarette in his mouth, bending over and watching A Guang fish. He wasn't addicted; he just wanted to pass the time when he was bored. It would be better if he could catch a bit more and earn some money.
Thinking about the expenses of several hundred yuan every month, he felt a lot of pressure, feeling like he was spending money every minute.
Just when he was thinking about this and that, the splashes of a big fish on the sea splashed onto his face. He hurriedly took a step back and wiped his face.
"Damn, who did I provoke?"
"Dongzi, quick, quick, take a dip net and help me scoop it up. This sea bass is so big, yo yo yo, it keeps turning over and wants to run..."
Ye Yaodong listened to his words and took a dip net first before approaching. "How big can it be? Can't you loosen and tighten it to play with the fish?"
"How can I loosen and tighten it? The boat is always moving, and this fish keeps pulling backward. Come, come, come, it's at the side of the boat..."
He looked at the fish, and it really wasn't small, eight or nine jin. A sea bass growing this big could already be considered very large. Generally, sea bass were only one or two jin, or two or three jin.
However, there seemed to be a bit more sea bass recently, and they were all quite large.
"Like a pig, yet learning from others to fish."
He took the dip net while complaining and helped scoop up that big sea bass, to avoid it struggling and running away, which would be a huge loss.
Such a big sea bass could also be sold for a bit over two yuan. Stewing it tonight could also replenish their bodies before they started working hard, otherwise, there would be labor ahead.
"Wow, I'm really awesome. Just fishing casually and catching an eight or nine jin big sea bass! Too strong!"
"How many jin?"
A Zheng stretched his neck on the boat next door, watching with envy. He couldn't hear clearly, and A Guang was also quite a dog.
He excitedly took the fishhook out of that big sea bass in the dip net, then hooked its gills, ignoring its struggle, held its head up, and held it up for A Zheng, who had been leaning over on the opposite side, to see, showing it off proudly so that A Zheng could see how big the fish was.
Ye Yaodong saw him showing off endlessly, so he took the opportunity to snatch the fishing rod he had placed on the side and grabbed a small white octopus that was constantly moving on the edge of the water bucket to use as bait.
This white octopus was quite small, its head about the size of a quail egg. Boiling it to eat wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth, but it was very friendly to use as bait.
There were still many miscellaneous fish and shrimp in the bucket, all miscellaneous goods that A Guang had thrown a net to catch earlier. Raising them in a water bucket, live bait was better; the more energetic they were in the water, the more attractive they were to big fish.
Before he could finish showing off, A Guang discovered that the fishing rod was in Dongzi's hands.
Motherfucker, fell for it!
He hurriedly threw the sea bass into the basket on the side, threw it together with the fish Ye Fu had caught in the morning, wiped his hands on his body, and leaned over.
"I only fished one rod, haven't fished enough yet, and you took it away?"
"Aren't you showing off? You just slowly show off with A Zheng."
"What is showing off? Proud, right? I've already finished being proud."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and glanced at him. "Too late, now it's my turn. You go take a nap, and I'll let you play when you wake up."
A Guang was depressed. "When I wake up, it'll be in our father's hands again, right?"
"That won't happen. My father won't let me take over unless we reach the destination. He's afraid I'll get lost."
"No, I'll just guard here. If you can't catch anything, you'll give..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Ye Yaodong's face light up, and then he immediately turned the wheel to reel in the line.
"Hooked?"
"You go to the side, don't lean so close to me."
"Damn you..." A Guang cursed and moved to the side.
Ye Yaodong's action of reeling in the line was quite large because it was trolling, and the fishing boat was always moving. Every time he finished turning the wheel to reel in the line, he would tilt his body and lift the fishing rod. The action never stopped.
A different ripple on the sea surface became more and more obvious and began to be parallel to the fishing boat. The ripple also became closer and closer, and the line in Ye Yaodong's hand became shorter and shorter.
A red fish coming from afar stepping on the ripples was pulled closer, tossing on the water surface, and appeared in their line of sight.
"Red, Dongzi, it's a red fish."
"Saw it!" He didn't stop reeling in the line.
"Red fish is good, red fish is never bad... Ah... damn... it really is a red snapper!"
Ye Yaodong also grinned and laughed happily, and his movements became more cautious, afraid that it would break free during the process of reeling in the line.
Although red fish can all be called red fish, there are many types of red fish. Leopard coral grouper can also be called red fish, red sea bream can also be called red fish, and red gurnard can also be called red fish, but the value difference between them is huge.
The scientific name of the red snapper is purple-red snapper. He had caught it before. This fish is not as good as the leopard coral grouper, but it is also a good thing!
The value of a small one is about the same as a red sea bream, but this one is huge, much more valuable than a red sea bream.
Seafood competes on the word "big." Although not all seafood is more valuable the bigger it is, most seafood is indeed more valuable the bigger it is.
"Damn, motherfucker, so big."
"Good thing, you caught such a big red snapper as soon as you came. It should be twenty or thirty jin..."
"This one is deep in color, red and festive, too fucking auspicious. I heard that the red snapper near the shore is lighter in color and grayer. This one is so deep, which means it should be in deep water now?"
"Use some strength, hurry up and reel in the money..."
"Wow wow wow... so fierce, so energetic, still pulling into the water..."
A Guang looked even more excited than him. The fish hadn't been pulled up yet, and just as the line was reeled in close, it was still in the tug-of-war of man vs. fish, and he was already shouting wildly.
This red snapper was indeed pulling and struggling violently because of its huge size, and the fishhook was constantly being pulled back by the fish during the tug-of-war.
The fishing rod was also bent to 90 degrees, and it was constantly tilting downward as the big fish pulled it. Fortunately, Ye Yaodong held it tightly and played with it by loosening and tightening it from time to time, preparing to slowly wear out its strength.
"Do you want me to use the dip net to net it? When will you finish fishing? Don't let it run away."
"You hold it in your hand and prepare. It's still at a distance now. Wait until I pull it closer, then you choose a good time to scoop it up."
Being able to scoop it up is more efficient than waiting for him to exhaust the fish before fishing it up. ===== CHAPTER 915 =====
