Chapter 241 "Unreasonable"
Chapter 241 "Unreasonable"
While Luo Qianqian was about to play Dou Dizhu with him for a while, Zhou Miao had already hooked someone.
At first, the fish weren't biting much, but as the scent of Antarctic krill spread, more and more fish gathered at the bottom of the water, and the rate of catching fish gradually increased.
However, because Zhou Miao replaced the heavy electric reel with a large hook, he wasn't as busy tonight as he was last night, and he had to keep moving back and forth between the two fishing rods.
The fish I caught today with my small electric reel were particularly small, mostly between five ounces and two pounds.
However, Zhou Miao didn't mind. Little by little, he could accumulate wealth and eventually sell hundreds or even thousands of kilograms, earning a considerable profit.
There are many kinds of fish, and almost every single one is different.
After about an hour, the three women in the entertainment room seemed to have gotten tired of playing, and one by one they came out of the cabin and gathered around their respective men.
Coincidentally, Zhou Miao happened to pick up a pure black fish that looked completely unremarkable.
This fish is about 40 centimeters long, with a thick back and a round belly. It looks very fat and weighs about three or four pounds.
Zhou Miao was also surprised to see the fish, because he had unlocked a new illustration in the encyclopedia.
Luo Qianqian curiously approached the fish to examine it: "It's all black, what kind of fish is this?"
Lu Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes, a hint of curiosity in them.
Zhou Miao chuckled and explained to them, "Don't be fooled by how inconspicuous this fish may seem, just like the black-haired fish. It's a rare and high-end fish that's hard to find on the market."
"It's called the Pacific New Snapper, also known as the Black Snapper."
"Of course, the price isn't as outrageous as the black-haired ones. The market price for a regular-sized one is around 150 yuan."
Seafood, of course, doesn't have a fixed price.
Their value is affected by region, season, and holidays.
Fish that costs 150 yuan per kilogram is already quite expensive. Who would be willing to eat such things when they earn several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan a month?
However, even if you want to eat them, you generally can't, as many deep-sea fish cannot be farmed at present, and there aren't many deep-sea fish available.
These deep-sea fish are quickly collected as soon as they arrive at the dock, and then appear in some high-end restaurants at prices at least five times higher than the purchase price.
Of course, given the geographical location of Nanzhen, they are usually sent to Shanghai and sold to Shanghai merchants at ten times the price.
Upon hearing the price, Luo Qianqian could no longer suppress her desire for money.
She grabbed Zhou Miao's arm and shook it playfully, "Miao, I want to go fishing too, can you lend me a fishing rod?"
Zhou Miao felt his arm sink into something soft and chuckled, "Alright, then this small electric reel is yours to keep. Remember to store the fish you catch separately so they don't get mixed up with my catch."
Since Luo Qianqian wanted to fish to make some money, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
To put it bluntly, it's only two or three hours at most. He can fish manually, so it won't have much of an impact.
"Oh, you're so sweet." Luo Qianqian tiptoed and gave him a quick kiss before excitedly taking over the small electric winch and starting to earn her little money.
This has quite a bit of emotional value, and Zhou Miao is happy about it. Then he looks at Lu Xiaoxiao next to him with a grin and says, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you watch this fishing rod? The fish you catch are yours."
Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, I'll go with Qianqian."
She moved closer to Luo Qianqian: "Let's fish together, and we'll split the profits after we sell them."
"Sure!" Luo Qianqian readily agreed, showing no displeasure at having half of her money taken away.
She likes money, but it won't affect the relationship between the three of them.
Most importantly, she knew she had bad luck fishing, so she decisively gave up her fishing spot.
Turn the page, and you'll find yourself in another world.
"Xiaoxiao, you go fishing, and I'll help you."
Zhou Miao is very pleased with the harmonious relationship between the two now.
But now that the fishing is good, he can't just sit idly by.
Since the heavy-duty electric reel's line setup remained the same, he went to the tool room to get his own jig, tied on the appropriate line, and began manual fishing.
The fish are at the bottom of the water, so it goes without saying that they will bite as soon as the hook and bait hit the water.
However, manual fishing allows for a clearer sense of the fish's condition.
This black carp looks unremarkable, but it's clearly very aggressive when it takes the bait, and it struggles quite a bit.
Zhou Miao lifted the fishing rod, hooked the fish, and immediately pulled the fishing line back in.
This fish bites fiercely, and the pulling sensation is just so-so.
The fish was quickly pulled to the surface, and it turned out to be a red snapper that was over 30 centimeters long.
It's a bit smaller than the previous one, but the red snapper is more expensive and more famous.
Zhou Miao thought a school of black carp had come from the bottom of the water, but it turned out to be a mixed school of fish.
Lu Xiaoxiao, who was watching the electric reel, caught her first fish after taking over the rod. Seeing that the rod didn't bend much, she didn't pay much attention to it.
Bleed the fish and threw it into ice water, then cast again for the second time.
Considering that the fish had gathered under the boat, Zhou Miao stopped using small fish and shrimp to fish and instead used jigging bait, which was more convenient.
One after another, manual fishing is not as efficient as electric reeling, but with Zhou Miao's luck, he still outcries Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao next to him, not to mention Yu Muzhou and the others on the other side.
Zhou Miao alternated between fishing for black carp and red carp, occasionally catching a grouper or other fish.
It's no wonder it's located in the far seas; the resources there are simply outrageous.
Without any system information, just randomly choosing a fishing spot on a reef and catching such a good catch shows that online videos aren't all just trying to entice anglers to spend money on fishing trips. If you know how to fish, you can actually catch fish.
The time continued until 11 p.m., when Luo Qianqian yawned and felt sleepy.
"We're so sleepy and hungry, how about we get something to eat and then go to sleep?"
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of gaining weight from eating before bed?"
Luo Qianqian immediately glared fiercely at Zhou Miao: "You think I'm fat?"
"Holy crap, what does this have to do with me? When did I ever look down on you?" Zhou Miao was baffled. Wasn't Lu Xiaoxiao asking her? Why was she suddenly coming at her?
"Look, he doesn't mind. Come on, come on, I want to eat fish for supper." Luo Qianqian's feigned fierce expression vanished instantly, and she smiled as she picked out a few black carp she had caught that night, pulling the smirking Lu Xiaoxiao into the cabin.
This scene left Zhou Miao dumbfounded, and even Yu Muzhou on the other side was completely baffled.
"What happened? Did you upset your girlfriend again?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Miao nearly coughed up blood: "What did I do to offend her? She suddenly asked if I thought she was fat. If she wanted to eat late-night snacks, she could have them. Why would I say anything!"
Seeing his speechless expression, Yu Muzhou recalled that his ex-wife would sometimes act the same way and suddenly felt a sense of empathy.
"That's just how women are; sometimes they just act out of character. You're still young; you'll get used to it gradually."
"..."
Zhou Miao remained silent for a moment, then simply put away his fishing rod.
"Never mind, I'll go in and grab a late-night snack too, so she won't accuse me of not getting fat along with her."
"Haha...that makes sense. I should also ask Schumann if she wants a late-night snack, so she won't complain that I didn't invite her."
