My fishing game syncs with reality

Chapter 288 It’s cold and fish is expensive

"No fish will take the bait this way!" Ye Jing said quite depressed.

This time, he waited long enough. Gu Nan threw the net and caught so many small fish, but there was no movement from the five fishing rods.

"Then try the method just now." Gu Nan took a look at the small fish and felt that there were enough, so he simply changed the boat and fished at the edge of the fish school.

The fish school was moving erratically. It was originally moving in a direction east-south. He drove the boat into the fish school. In fact, he only had to wait for about ten minutes and the boat would be out of the range of the fish school.

But now there has been no movement for so long. It is obvious that the direction of movement of the fish has changed, or it may stay in the same place.

Either way, he had to get the boat out.

Putting hook bait in a school of fish is too much luck, and the probability of a big fish taking the bait is too low.

Being on the edge of a school of fish also depends on luck, but at least it is better than being in the middle of a school of fish.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the two of them began to focus on pulling the big fish again.

This time Gu Nan still went all out. The fish he hooked felt smaller than the previous marlin, but it wasn't much smaller. It was definitely more than 300 kilograms.

Ye Jing didn't know the situation, but there was a high probability that he was catching the same fish as him.

It took Gu Nan more than forty minutes to catch the fish, and he was very tired.

What appeared next to the boat was a bigeye tuna about 2.78 meters tall. He directly killed the fish with a harpoon, and then let the fish cool down in the cold sea water.

This was because Gu Nan forcibly pulled the fish, causing the big-eye tuna to resist very fiercely. The whole fish was boiling hot under the high-speed movement.

It's okay in the cold sea water. Once it's lifted up, the bloody water will burn the fish immediately.

Under normal circumstances, this would give the fish a big wound to bleed some.

But Gu Nan couldn't do this. Because of fishing, the fish had left, and he could only see a few seabirds flying in the sky from a distance.

It was fine that the fish were there just now, and there was no fear of attracting sharks when bleeding, but now it's no longer possible.

When the shark came over, his tuna had naturally been collected, but Ye Jing's estimate was in doubt. There was a high probability that only one fish head would be left.

Fortunately, after the warm weather the day before yesterday, it has been quite cold these two days, which feels a bit like winter.

The air temperature is low and the water temperature is low, so the tuna is not afraid of overheating and burning the fish in the water.

If Xia Tian, ​​Gu Nan wouldn't be able to control so much, and he would definitely have to deal with the bloodletting first before talking about it.

This situation is actually rare. It usually occurs when the fish is fished too fast and does not walk the fish for a long time to allow the fish to have time to rest.

So most of the time when Gu Nan catches tuna, he first uses a crane to get it up and then bleeds it.

"Anan, why don't you drive the boat and catch up? I'm fine here, otherwise the school of fish will be invisible."

Ye Jing heard the movement of the crane, turned around and saw that Gu Nan's fish had been caught, and said.

He knew that he had delayed his brother from making money, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't care that sailing the boat would affect his fishing.

Gu Nan shook his head and had no intention of sailing the boat to chase the fish.

"Forget it, no more fishing today. It's too troublesome. The fish keep moving, and you have to chase after one. It's not as fun as catching the big fish before. The cold storage compartment is almost full, so let's do it this time!"

After Ye Jing heard what he said, he continued to concentrate on fishing.

Because Gu Nan set out to catch large yellow croaker in the afternoon and happened to encounter a shoal of fish, so it was already dark after he caught the big-eye tuna.

The temperature difference at sea is large, which is quite comfortable at night in summer, but in winter it can freeze people to death. It can be called a 360-degree magic attack.

Even though Gu Nan was freezing during the night fishing the previous two nights, he finally started fishing by himself and warmed up after getting some exercise.

At this moment, he helped Ye Jing quickly handle Ye Jing's fish, hoisted it into the refrigerated cabin, and ran into the cabin to make dinner on his own initiative. Only his good brother was left to wash the deck with a high-pressure water gun.

When the weather is cold, hot pot is the most comfortable.

Gu Nan took out the barely used copper pot that he had bought, and then started to cook clear soup and cook the hot pot in the evening.

There was a lot of preparation work. He took out the frozen beef and mutton from the refrigerator and sliced ​​them.

The meat is easy to cut only when it is frozen hard. It is difficult to cut when it is soft. Of course, the premise is that the knife is fast.

While he was still busy, Ye Jing finished his work and brought over an Eastern Star Spot that was estimated to weigh more than five kilograms.

The fish are live and caught in the open sea.

We have made all kinds of snails, including this Eastern Star Spot.

In fact, the two of them caught more than a dozen Eastern Star Spots on the high seas, and the big ones weighed more than 20 kilograms.

But there was only one left, and it was obvious that they planned to eat it.

I can't finish the one that's too big, but the five-pound one is just right.

The fish has been killed, and Gu Nan's beef and mutton have also been cut.

Cutting them took time and effort, and he didn't bother to put them on the plate, so he just put them all into the big basin next to him.

It doesn’t matter if beef and mutton are mixed together, we will eat them later anyway.

"You're here just in time. Let's mix up the dipping ingredients first and then make the charcoal. The soup here is ready. I'll just boil a kettle of water later."

Gu Nan took the fish from his hand and immediately ordered him to do something.

Ye Dingding nodded and started working.

It was convenient for him and it only took a short while.

He put the charcoal fire into the chimney structure in the middle of the copper pot one by one, and then went to get the soup to pour into the copper pot.

At this moment, Gu Nan had already filleted the fish, and he deep-fried the fish heads and bones.

Seeing him coming to bring soup, I quickly picked up the colander and fished out the whole chicken with all the fat inside.

"Hey, you're so humble, are you still making chicken soup?" Ye Jing thought Gu Nan made the soup with seasoning packets, but he didn't expect that he made the chicken soup himself.

This is so fresh, I can enjoy it tonight.

"There are only three cats on the ship? The chickens that have survived can just be used to make cat food."

Gu Nan put the chicken in the soup bowl next to him and started making cat food when he was busy.

Dahua is very smart now and knows that there is a good meal in the evening. Even if she is hungry, she will not eat the cat food and just wait for him to feed it.

"Okay, okay, it's great to have big flowers, otherwise we would have to eat the chicken ourselves." Ye Jing was very satisfied.

The chicken that has all the essence boiled out is very poor and not delicious. In line with the principle of not wasting, they had eaten it themselves before.

In fact, I took it out and made a nest, but it didn't smell fishy when it was cooked, and the fish didn't like to eat it.

Soon, all the ingredients were prepared and the soup in the copper pot was boiling.

Gu Nan and the two sat down to eat, but they had to sail the boat at night, so they only brought out some Happy Fatty water.

"It's cool, this is life!" Ye Jing blanched some beef and mutton, dipped it in the sauce, and sighed with satisfaction after swallowing it.

Gu Nan blanched some slices of Eastern starfish. He usually ate Thai starfish, and now he wanted to compare the differences between the two types of fish.

He ate it without dipping it in the sauce. After tasting it, he raised his eyebrows.

Without the emperor's tongue, he really couldn't tell the difference between the two fishes. They both felt so fresh and delicious, without distinction between upper and lower.

There were only two of us, so we ate quite quickly. The main thing is to stuff more meat into the stomach before it reacts, so as not to have to eat midnight snacks when you are hungry at night.

The Nanchen, which had stayed on the sea surface for a long time, finally started again and headed towards the large yellow croaker fishing spot.

There is no rush to go home this time, as I am going to catch this big yellow croaker no matter what.

The boats are better, and technology is no better than before.

In the past, going to sea was a very boring thing. You would work when you open your eyes and sleep when you close your eyes.

How uncomfortable this is for modern young people who never leave their mobile phones.

Things are different now. There are actually quite a lot of entertainment activities, especially Gu Nan's luxury fishing boat, which is a natural entertainment room in itself.

But when it came time to sail the ship, the two simply played a game at the driver's seat. After entering domestic waters, the signal covered the entire ship again.

There is no wireless in the high seas. After visiting the high seas this time, Gu Nan may not go there again in the future.

There are major high seas and some domestic waters. Traveling such a long distance is not only easy to encounter ships from other countries, but also costly.

After playing games for a while, Gu Nan went to bed first.

There was almost no traveling during the day, and it was at least ten hours away. Ye Jing drove the boat in the first half of the night, and he had to drive it in the second half of the night.

This was Gu Nan's own request to stay awake for the rest of the night. His energy recovered quickly and he didn't sleep in the second half of the night, but he could recover as long as he slept for a few hours in the morning.

If it were Ye Jing, he wouldn't be able to get up until at least two o'clock in the afternoon.

There was no special situation that night, so Gu Nan wrote down the coordinates of several fish found by the fish finder.

The main fish schools are at the bottom of the water. I don’t know if they are gathering places or if they are passing by, so I will write them down first.

At 6:30 in the morning, Nanchen finally arrived at its destination.

Because he slept for six hours in the middle of the night and didn't get up until two in the morning, Gu Nan wasn't sleepy at all now, so he simply stopped sleeping and went to cook.

As soon as breakfast was prepared, Ye Jing came to the kitchen on time.

"Are you going to take a nap after eating?"

"No, I'm very energetic. It's rare to be awake in the morning today. I'll go fishing in the morning later."

"also."

After breakfast, the two came to the deck.

But as soon as they got out of the cabin, they almost shrank their necks simultaneously.

Ye Jingha took out a breath that was filled with white smoke: "Hiss, I didn't expect it to be so cold today."

"The cold air is falling, can it stop being cold?" Gu Nan was mentally prepared. After all, he had to read the weather forecast every day at sea.

Yesterday there was heavy snowfall in the north, cold air hit the south, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees.

"Fishing in winter is tough. At least you can fish at night in summer." Ye Jing sighed, and after finishing his nest, he simply returned to the cabin and changed all the strings on the fishing rod before coming out.

Gu Nan came out and took a look around. There were all small boats about ten meters tall nearby, and there were many fishing boats, all of which were obviously here to catch large yellow croakers.

This sea area is like this all year round. Every day there are at least hundreds of fishing boats on the sea, all coming to catch large yellow croaker.

This large yellow croaker is not extinct, mainly because there are enough fry released every year.

But Gu Nan can't control that much. If others fish for it, he will definitely fish for it. If it really wants to become extinct, the country will take action, just like the yellow-lipped fish.

Without protection, the number is obviously still considerable, not as small as the so-called experts say.

It was cold outside, so Gu Nan returned to the boat after finishing his nest, took out a golden fishing rod and started changing the line set.

None of the fishermen on the boats here use electric reels for fishing, and neither of them do.

One person with one pole can keep himself warm if there are many fish.

The fish finder showed that there were fish on the bottom of the boat, so they started fishing directly without changing positions.

The bait was mackerel meat prepared when going out to sea. I mainly didn’t buy lugworms. The fish meat is also very attractive to large yellow croaker.

The water here is only a little over thirty meters deep, and both of them just threw a lot of fish pieces into the water to make a nest.

The fish pieces for nesting are cut into relatively large pieces, and the smaller fish are really not edible. The fish smell is mainly used to attract the fish.

Smaller fish cannot eat fish pieces, so they can only eat the bait on their hooks.

It took a lot of time to replace the line set. They all took their time, mainly waiting for the hair to come out.

But this session only lasted about twenty minutes, and the effect should not have reached its peak yet.

Gu Nan and the others couldn't take care of that much. They had to change the line group and they would definitely start fishing.

There was no reaction as soon as the hook bait was put down. Gu Nan watched the fishermen on several boats not far away catching fish. It was obvious that the fish conditions were very good in the morning.

After a while, the fishing rod on his side started to move.

Gu Nan's attention was still far away, and he had already completed the action of lifting the rod to stab the fish. It was obviously instinctive.

One person and one pole were fishing, but Ye Jing did not go to the other side to fish, and the person was right next to him.

Seeing that there was a fish on his side, he quickly asked: "How is it? Is the fish big?"

"It's okay, maybe a pound." Gu Nan quickly turned the handle. What skills are needed to catch large yellow croaker?
Just use your strength to create a miracle.

"That's not bad. The price per kilogram is not low."

As he spoke, a yellow-white fish broke out of the water.

Gu Nan raised the pole, then stretched out his other hand to catch the fish that swung back.

After looking at it, I saw that it was a large yellow croaker. I pulled the pectoral fin toward the eye. It was just at the eye. It was indeed about a pound. It was a good fish.

"How much is the big yellow croaker now?" Ye Jing asked.

Although the Chinese New Year is still more than a month away, the price of large yellow croaker has already risen a lot.

"The purchase price I gave you has increased by at least 50, and at most by 500. Of course, the market price has doubled compared to mine."

"Holy shit, it's increased so much?" Ye Jing didn't have any extra thoughts about the purchase price.

He knew very well that he had no channel to sell fish, so it was only right to sell it to Gu Nan cheaply so that he could make some money, so he didn't have any thoughts in his mind.

I just didn’t expect the price to rise so much more than a month before the Chinese New Year. How will the price of large yellow croaker grow after a period of time?
"There are so many rich people in our country, and you can never imagine the level of luxury. No matter how expensive this thing is, it is still a piece of cake for the rich."

"As for what they think is expensive, it doesn't matter to them whether it goes up or not. They can't bear to buy it anyway, so it doesn't make any difference."

Farmed large yellow croaker is the first choice for civilians. What does wild croaker have to do with civilians? With a salary of tens of thousands a month, how can they be willing to eat it?
In fact, 90% of the turnover of Gu Nan's two aquatic products stores comes from rich people, and what he earns is the money of rich people.

Ye Jing thought that this was right. It was not something sold to ordinary people, so naturally the more expensive it became, the better.

The two of them then each caught some large yellow croakers, but there were also a lot of fat bass and yellow croakers.

Ye Jing had good luck this morning and caught a giant catfish weighing more than 20 kilograms.

With the addition of isinglass, this fish can be sold at the current market price of 121 kilograms.

Gu Nan didn't ask for a price, and asked him to save some fish and set up a stall by himself. He would sell the fish to him every day, and people would become lazy.
