Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 228 Return Flight

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai immediately gave him a look that said, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Fortunately, the squid stopped rolling around after sucking up some sauce. Xiao Kai wiped the sauce off his face with a tissue and carefully took the squid out.

"You've got this sauce all over my face, I'll see if you're as delicious as they say!"

As if venting his anger, Xiao Kai finished speaking fiercely and then took a bite out of the still slightly wriggling squid head.

In an instant, Xiao Kai felt a wriggling sensation in his mouth.

How to describe this feeling? It's magical, but it's also accompanied by a strange sense of nausea.

Unfortunately, Xiao Kai was still not used to the feeling of having a live creature in his mouth.

Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long, and he was soon attracted by a chewy texture.

Next comes the wonderful sensation of squid meat mixed with sauce filling the taste buds.

"Waaaaah~"

Unable to resist, Xiao Kai gave a thumbs up.

Indeed, its reputation is well-deserved; this raw marinated squid truly lives up to its name as a beloved delicacy among many coastal residents.

Although the texture is a bit strange, once you get used to it, the taste is still quite good.

In short, Xiao Kai personally can accept it.

"How is it? Not bad, right? Hehe!"

Seeing that Xiao Kai was very satisfied with the taste, Tian Wenbin's face showed smugness again.

After saying that, he started working on himself.

However, unlike Xiao Kai, he didn't throw the squid directly into the pot with the sauce, but instead scooped it out separately in a disposable cup.

By doing this, the squid was confined to its space and couldn't struggle too much, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of being attacked by the sauce.

Soon, Xiao Kai finished the squid. He was still a little unsatisfied and even became somewhat addicted. He quickly hooked half a shrimp onto the fishing rod and threw it back into the sea.

In less than a minute, he caught another squid.

Similar to the previous individual, it looks quite small.

However, this time he was smarter and used a disposable cup separately, just like Tian Wenbin.

This time, he didn't use chopsticks. After the squid was soaked in the sauce, he picked it up by the back half and started eating.

"Mmm, so delicious!"

For a moment, Xiao Kai felt incredibly happy.

He absolutely loved the thrill of being conquered by delicious food after a tiring day.

So he continued fishing without stopping.

One, two...

In less than five minutes, Xiao Kai ate three squids, making a total of five including the previous two, weighing about half a pound.

Unfortunately, this amount was far from enough, so he continued fishing.

However, this time he improved his sauce, adding some chopped chili peppers and more cilantro.

Sure enough, he still loves spicy food the most. As he ate the squid, which was soaked with the freshly prepared sauce, once again, Xiao Kai finally felt satisfied.

"Awesome!"

This was definitely the most satisfying meal Xiao Kai had ever had at sea, even more satisfying than the barbecue he had eaten before.

"No, we have to come again next time!"

Xiao Kai's fondness for this type of squid made him immediately make up his mind.

As for the strange sensation of the squid wriggling in his mouth, he had long since forgotten about it.

Half an hour later.

"I can't eat anymore, Xiao Kai, I really can't eat anymore!"

Having already eaten nearly twenty small squid, Tian Wenbin put down his fishing rod and leaned against the edge of the boat with a look of utter satisfaction.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai couldn't help but mutter, "What a loser!"

Unlike Tian Wenbin, he was enhanced by a cheat system, so his energy requirements were naturally higher than those of ordinary people, not to mention when he encountered his favorite foods.

So even though he had already eaten more than twenty squid, he still felt like he could fight again.

Fortunately, these squids were not big, each weighing less than an ounce, otherwise, with his abilities, he would never have been able to eat so many.

Seeing that Xiao Kai was still continuing, Tian Wenbin could only admire him in secret.

A while later, around 11 p.m., Xiao Kai finally stopped fishing.

During nearly an hour of fishing, he ate no fewer than forty small squids, which, including their weight, probably weighed at least two pounds.

This has reached the limit of his appetite.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Kai glanced at the remaining bait and realized it wasn't enough to catch a few more fish, so he simply stopped fishing.

After discussing it, the two decided to end today's activities.

So the two of them started cleaning the deck, one taking care of the fishing gear and the other taking care of rinsing the deck clean with water.

They didn't return to their cabins to rest until midnight.

During this period, other fishing boats also began to rest one after another, but quite a few fishing boats were still persisting.

The next morning, Xiao Kai got up very early as usual.

I woke up before dawn.

Upon waking up, Xiao Kai immediately went out to check the overhead power line.

For deep-sea fishermen like them, the biggest fear is that the jacking machine will malfunction.

After all, breaking something is a minor issue, but accidentally bumping into something could be a much bigger loss and could even lead to danger.

Although the top flow machine will issue an alarm to alert you if it malfunctions, it's always good to be cautious.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and he didn't find any problems. The only problem was that he used several more liters of oil in one night.

But none of that matters; safety is the most important thing.

After confirming that there were no problems with the boat, Xiao Kai greeted Tian Wenbin, who had also gotten up and washed, and then started the boat and headed back in the direction they had come from.

Since there wasn't much space left on the boat, Xiao Kai's only goal today was to catch an early bite. For this reason, he had already decided to return to the same fishing spot where he fished for tuna yesterday.

This way, you can return along the same route after fishing, saving both fuel and time.

It's worth mentioning that when they passed a fishing boat, Tian Wenbin actually ran into an acquaintance.

Upon asking, I learned that it turned out to be some fishermen he had met while fishing before.

Before Xiao Kai came along, whenever he went out to sea, he would ride on the same boat as them.

They just arrived a little late last night, and it was dark, so I didn't recognize them.

After some polite exchanges, Tian Wenbin concealed the fact that they had caught a tuna.

Xiao Kai was quite satisfied with this, since they were going to the same fishing spot where they had fished for tuna the day before.

Not many people know about that location, and if it's accidentally let slip, it probably won't be a secret for long.

He was hoping to catch more tuna at that spot in the future, but he didn't want to be exposed so early.

Soon, the two returned to the fishing spot they had been using the day before.

It was exactly seven o'clock in the morning, the best time of day for breakfast.

Without saying a word, the two of them started fishing again, dividing the tasks among themselves.

Tian Wenbin's luck didn't seem to be very good this time. He only caught three fish by 10 a.m.

In contrast, Xiao Kai, because of his special ability, was not greatly affected.

Although he ran out of bait, he had plenty of fish meat, so by 10 o'clock he had filled the remaining space on the boat with fish until there wasn't enough room for even one fish.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Kai proposed the decision to return to base.

Tian Wenbin naturally had no objections.

Thus, under Xiao Kai's leadership, the fishing boat, which had been adrift at sea for two days and two nights, finally embarked on its journey home.
