My fishing game syncs with reality

The boatman went back once and dragged two more people over.

It turned out that Wang Junhe and Ye Jing had just gotten up, and when they came out they saw what was happening here, so they came over to join in the fun.

They had no plans to go into the water, mainly because they were afraid of the cold. When the boatman told them there was a coral reef popping up here, they decided to go and see if they could find anything on the coral reef.

Those who have never tried it will never understand the joy of using local materials.

At this time, Gu Nan was busy working underwater and did not notice their arrival.

At this time, Gu Nan discovered something special, a kind of shellfish that can produce sea pearls - the Marsden shell.

This type of shellfish is currently the main species of seawater pearls. In fact, the pearls produced by wild shellfish are not as good as those produced by farmed ones, and even if there are any, most of them are strange in shape.

Wanting to open a good quality sea pearl is basically the same as buying a lottery ticket.

There is a store not far from Gu Nan’s new store that sells these shellfish, and many customers buy a few to open the shells every day.

Now because of the production, the price of pearls is not as expensive as before, but they still enjoy the fun of opening pearls.

Gu Nan usually has no interest in this kind of shellfish, but now that he discovered it, he just collected it.

There were quite a lot of them. After searching in this area for a while, I found a full net bag.

When we returned to the water, the boatman had already driven the boat back.

Just as Gu Nan handed the things to him and put them away, he heard voices coming from the coral reef not far away.

Turning around, he was surprised: "Why are you here too?"

"I heard that you were here to fish and hunt, so I came to join in the fun. I didn't know there was such a big coral reef here, and it was exposed. I decided to look around here to see if there was anything good." Ye Jing heard his voice and turned around to explain.

Wang Junhe also held up a large abalone to show him, and said with a smile: "You have found a great treasure. There are many large abalones. You will have a feast tonight."

And abalone?

Gu Nan really didn't see any abalone in the water. Maybe it was because he was in too deep water and the abalone were all in shallow water.

"That's good luck! It looks like there's a lot of food tonight. Do you want to grill the whole thing? I'll look for a big grouper in the water and then we can have hot pot."

Wang Junhe thought this was a good idea, so he said, "Okay, try to get as many fish as possible, and I'll buy them from you. Then we can grill together. We can't eat alone."

"No problem, don't worry about my fishing and hunting skills." Hearing that there was money to be made, the smile on Gu Nan's face brightened a little.

Seeing that he agreed, Wang Junhe instructed the boatman, "Brother, go back and ask someone to tell the chef that we will have a barbecue tonight, so get some barbecue seasoning. And make some chicken soup so that we can have hot pot."

The boatman nodded and without saying a word he sailed back to inform the kitchen.

This is related to the issue of their dinner. The boatmen can also participate in this kind of large-scale dinner party, even if they are just with other boatmen. But why not eat the free dinner?

He felt a little regretful. It would be great if such a job could be long-term, with good benefits and good food. Unfortunately, opportunities were rare and one might not come across one once a year.

Gu Nan returned to the bottom of the water again, and this time he swam to the left side where the water was deeper.

Deep water also means more big fish.

Not to mention the average 20-jin premium grouper, at least we have to get a 10-jin fish for each group.

Secondly, the quality cannot be too low. The blue spots and other items are not presentable. The unit price must be at least two hundred yuan.

When swimming to a depth of 30 meters, there are indeed many more big fish.

As soon as Gu Nan arrived, he saw a moray eel thicker than his arm opening its mouth to intimidate him, then slowly retreating into the pit.

He took a quick glance and lost interest. It was just an ordinary moray eel, not worth his attention.

Then he began to look for grouper. Fishing in the afternoon was somewhat troublesome as the groupers were unwilling to come out.

Fortunately, once it is discovered, the difficulty of hunting will be much lower than usual.

In less than a minute, Gu Nan found a spotted mouse hiding by the coral reef to rest.

This spotted mouse is not small. Judging from its size, it weighs about four or five kilograms.

If you have this thing for hotpot, I guess even a 20-pound tiger grouper angler wouldn't be willing to exchange it.

Just eat less, the freshness of mouse grouper is not so easy to taste.

It was not the first time that Gu Nan encountered rat spots. He raised the spear gun and pulled the trigger without mercy.

Lao Wang paid the bill. He didn't need to consider keeping the fish alive since he would eat it that night anyway, so the price would not be low.

After catching a grouper, Gu Nan went up to take a breath and continued to look for the next one.

Then I found a freshwater grouper weighing more than ten kilograms. It was a medium-sized grouper and quite good, so I took it.

Hunting grouper is indeed much more troublesome than catching fish underwater. He has to go up to breathe every time he catches a fish.

He was lucky enough to come across a small group of grouper. This was a pretty good fish, but unfortunately he still had to catch them one by one.

It would be great if I were a mermaid. I could just follow the school of small fish and catch them one by one, and catch them all in one fell swoop.

Now, he only caught three, and the school of small fish was scattered and could not be found.

Fortunately, there were only about twenty fishing enthusiasts, plus the people cleaning the kitchen and the same number of boatmen, so Gu Nan only needed to catch about twenty fish.

With the resources of this coral reef, it is not difficult to catch twenty or so groupers weighing more than ten kilograms.

It only took Gu Nan more than half an hour to successfully deliver two batches of fish, a total of twenty-four.

The coral reefs are particularly lively at this time.

After hearing the news, the anglers who had gotten up ran over with their tools and joined in the effort.

Pick abalone, pick conch, pick scallops, and pry oysters and barnacles.

There is strength in numbers. After Gu Nan delivered two rounds of fish, they had already caught more than 200 kilograms of shellfish, with oysters and barnacles being the most, followed by spider snails. The abalone that was discovered first was the least.

At this time, Gu Nan did not come up, but continued to dive underwater.

Because when he was fishing and hunting, he found scattered kelp on the bottom of the water, which was Jiangyao.

The Jiang Yao here are not concentrated enough, with some scattered here and there, but their number is not small either.

While collecting kelp, he can also prepare to pick up some conchs and catch a few lobsters.

When the sun was setting, Gu Nan finally got on the boat and went back with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Jiang Yao only saw about thirty in the end, and the boatmen had no way of distributing them, so they could only share them with fellow anglers.

There aren't many lobsters, but it's still okay for each table to have one.

Lao Wang paid for everything, otherwise he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.

Back on the boat, the boatman sorted his catch, weighed it and calculated the price, mainly the fish and lobsters. Everyone already had shellfish, so they didn't need him to pay for them.

Gu Nan went back to his room to take a shower. He didn't feel cold in the water, but after coming out, he still felt chilly even though he was passive. It was just that he didn't shiver all over like before, and it wasn't that uncomfortable. When Gu Nan came out of the room, the space in front of the cab was already filled with tables and chairs.

The table is made up of two folding tables put together, on which are placed a charcoal grill and a boiler for hot pot.

On the left side of the cab door, there are beer, white wine, red wine and various drinks.

Beer and seafood are always accompanied by gout. The drink is for those who cannot drink and those who have gout.

If something really goes wrong at sea, it will be difficult to seek medical treatment, so no one will require others to drink.

With his arrival, small tugboats carrying people soon returned.

Everyone had a good harvest and returned with a full load, and then went to the kitchen to select fish.

Gu Nan didn't even need to choose, he left the mouse grouper for himself. Because there were five of them, he also specially chose a western grouper that he had hunted himself.

The kitchen would slaughter the fish and send it over. At this time, Gu Nan had already put the processed lobsters on the grill.

The lobsters he has here are also the largest, the dense-haired lobster weighing nearly four pounds.

It's not like he hasn't encountered a big flower dragon before, but Gu Nan isn't so stupid as to bring these things up here.

Although it doesn't matter on the high seas, the fact that there was no grouper or flower dragon proved that he was cautious enough.

Except for Wang Junhe and four others, he was not very familiar with the others. He had only chatted with some fishing friends in the group, and had not met them very often in real life. If some words got out, it would always be a trouble.

The lobster slowly turned red on the charcoal grill, and soon a fresh and fragrant aroma rose.

Then he took out the shellfish he had picked up today, and the mud and sand on the surface had been washed clean by the boatman.

But it's not open, you need to pry it open with a knife.

Gu Nan picked up the meteorite dagger and picked out the Masai shell first.

Sea Pearl, I don’t know if I have the luck to win the lottery.

Then he began to dissect the scallops. Regardless of whether there were pearls or not, he would open them and roast them. After all, he wanted to eat them!

Gu Nan chose the largest one first. After all, everyone would subconsciously think that the larger the shellfish, the longer it lives, and the greater the chance of producing pearls.

However, choosing big is generally a mistake.

After opening it, Gu Nan touched the flesh and found no lumps or bumps.

He shook his head in disappointment, discarded the inedible parts, and placed them on the charcoal grill, along with a spoonful of the chef's garlic sauce, which was no worse than Aquaman's.

He picked up the second one at random and just opened it, he saw a round bulge. Gu Nan's eyes lit up, he got a reward!
He cut open the shellfish meat and squeezed out a round, bright pearl.

I was very lucky and the diameter was probably eight millimeters. It was very round and shiny, without any blemishes.

"Fuck, Pearl?" Coincidentally, there were indeed a few boatmen busy working not far from Gu Nan, but the first one to discover Pearl was An Jun who had just arrived.

He also went to the coral reef in the afternoon, but he got up late and didn't get much.

But he didn't care, he could eat for free anyway.

As soon as I arrived, I saw the pearls in Gu Nan's hand.

"Oh, it's a pity that we're on the boat, otherwise I would go buy a lottery ticket right away." Gu Nan sighed deliberately, but in fact, the corner of his mouth was curled up so much that he couldn't suppress it.

Several boatmen nearby also heard An Jun's shout and looked around curiously, but no one came to join in the fun.

"Just show off! What kind of shell is this? It can actually produce pearls. Is it valuable?" An Jun picked up the Ma shell and looked it up and down, as if he wanted to remember what it looked like so that he wouldn't miss it accidentally if he encountered it in the future.

"This is called the Mastoiseshell scallop. It is farmed on a large scale in China, so the price should not be high. I'm too lazy to know how much it costs, so keep it for yourself. I'll buy Chenchen a piece of pearl jewelry when I have the chance." After giving some basic knowledge, Gu Nan put the pearl into the inside pocket of his shirt first.

This is the good thing about winter clothes: they have lots of pockets.

"What a pity! If the conch pearls extracted from coconut snails were of such good quality, you would have made a fortune." An Jun shook his head, but his expression did not show any pity for him at all!
As time passed, Wang Jun, his friends and fellow anglers arrived one after another, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Although there was a cold wind, it could not completely extinguish the warm atmosphere of everyone eating meat and drinking.

Gu Nan's discovery of a pearl was just a minor incident, because the subsequent Mashrimp shell only produced a cone-shaped pearl of little value, which could be ground into powder.

But what’s the use of only one? It’s better to buy one directly when I get back.

We drank and ate barbecue. There was also a lot of beef and mutton on the boat, so it was not surprising to eat until ten or twelve o'clock in the evening.

But everyone exercised restraint because everyone knew there was a vast coral reef nearby and that fishing there would yield great rewards.

Therefore, we controlled our drinking and finished our meals at nine o'clock.

When Gu Nan came to the deck with a fishing rod, the fishing boat had already appeared near the coral reef, and the water depth was only more than fifty meters.

At this depth, you are not fishing for deep-sea fish.

Gu Nan thought about it and decided not to use the iron bait to knock on the bottom. Instead, he hung a sardine and made a nest.

This way, fishing is easy even without an electric reel. For fish weighing less than 50 kilograms, you can catch them with a simple walk if you have a golden fishing rod.

The main reason is that no one uses the electric fishing line, and he is embarrassed to take it out. Everyone has a tacit understanding and only uses it when fishing for deep-sea fish.

Unlike renting a boat, there is no pressure to make back the investment, and people fish for the fun and artistic conception rather than simply purchasing goods for fear of losing money.

After smoking a cigarette and chatting for a while, Gu Nan estimated that half an hour had passed since he started baiting the fish, and then he threw the hook and bait into the water.

Then you just have to wait patiently. It’s normal that the fish nest effect has not been realized after half an hour.

But before I could wait for half a minute, a huge force was transmitted from the fishing rod.

Although it is not as violent as that of tuna, nor as brutal as that of grouper, the force is firm, powerful and continuous.

The alarm on the large fishing reel that Gu Nan was using sounded, and his heart skipped a beat.

The line set was not done well, and the fish seemed to be very big. There was a certain chance that it could get rid of the small fish hook and even break the rope.

However, the next moment, Gu Nan let out a light "eh".

The line paid out very slowly, as if he had simply hooked something dead, but it was just heavier.

The shaking of the fishing rod may be caused by the object it is hooked on swaying with the waves.

But no matter whether it was a living thing or a dead thing, Gu Nan pulled up the fishing rod with force and tried to stab the fish first.

At this moment, Gu Nan was sure that what he caught was a living creature.

It moves, just slowly.

What kind of fish is this? Gu Nan suddenly became curious.

Unfortunately, his target at night was the coral grouper at the bottom of the water. The line was a bit thin, so he didn't dare to pull it with brute force and could only slowly reel the fish in.

Otherwise, given the slow speed of the fish, he could have pulled it up in a matter of minutes. (End of this chapter)
