Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

"But there's no movement from yours."

Wang An pointed to the bucket full of fish.

"Look at mine, I already have five."

Seeing this, Ma Yongkang picked up his bucket and waved his hand.

"Yours isn't enough, I have seven already."

Wang An pulled a fish out of the bucket and was about to throw it at Ma Yongkang: "You've really grown wings, watch out, I'll slap you to death with this fat fish."

As he spoke, his pole stirred again.

Wang An quickly pulled the rod and caught a filefish.

"Yang Bai, if there weren't any smaller fishing rods, I brought another one to prevent it from breaking. It'll be fine even if it's a little less powerful."

Yang Bai waved his hand.

"No need, I call this 'silent until the moment of truth, then a stunning display'."

In his previous life, he had caught a 300-pound yellow croaker here. Even without this area, there are many yellow croakers weighing over 100 pounds, which is why he took out his large fishing rod.

"A meteoric rise to fame? Little Yang, by the time you stop making a splash, I'll already have a whole bucket full of goods."

Wang An smiled.

Yang Bai leaned leisurely against the skewers.

"How about we make a bet? I'm sure I can catch a 100-pound fish. If you lose, I'll give you two of my best fish. If you win, I'll give you fifty dollars."

The two exchanged a glance. It would be foolish not to take the money, so they agreed immediately.

Yang Bai made two pancakes and handed them to the two men with oiled paper.

"Eat up, just to shut you up."

Wang An looked at the pancakes rolled with roasted meat and felt a sense of novelty.

"Yang Bai, this way of eating isn't from Fuhai, is it?"

Yang Bai nodded, "Yes, this is called a pancake roll, which I created myself. It's delicious."

Wang An picked it up and took a bite.

The aroma of wheat from the flatbread, the savory fat from the roasted meat, and the refreshing touch of scallions blend perfectly together, making it even more delicious with beer!

Ma Yongkang also smelled fragrant.

"I have to say, Yang Bai, it's a shame you're not a chef. If you were, you'd definitely be good enough to host state banquets."

Wang An nodded.

"really."

Yang Bai lowered his head and continued grilling skewers; cooking was his hobby.

In his previous life, his main business was being a seafood tycoon.

The three of them fished, chatted, and ate grilled skewers and meat-filled pancakes.

Until the sun sets in the west.

Yang Bai's fishing rod remained motionless, while Wang An and Ma Yongkang's buckets were both full of their catch.

"As expected of the Widow's Sea, the catch is really plentiful."

Wang An sighed, "In ordinary sea areas, they might not even be able to fill a bucket after fishing all day."

Wang An laughed and said, "Yang Bai, we're about to go back, and we still don't have any goods. How about I share some with you?"

Ma Yongkang put away his fishing rod, picked up his fish bucket, and said, "Me too. Want some?"

Yang Bai poured water onto the charcoal, making a sizzling sound.

"You don't need to catch it right away."

The prime feeding time for yellow croaker is at dusk, at the end of low tide.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

The next second, the bell rang, and the loud sound echoed across the ship.

The two of them turned around at the same time.

Wang An twitched the corner of his mouth. "This...it can't have actually been caught, can it?"

If you fish with this rod, you're guaranteed at least 100 pounds.

There were more fish than in their buckets.

Yang Bai walked over, pulled up the fishing rod, and his hand sank.

The fish felt like it weighed more than a hundred pounds. With a sudden surge of energy from the sea, Yang Bai quickly steadied himself, pulling the fishing rod into a crescent shape as he shouted.

"Come help quickly! This is probably going to weigh over 200 pounds again!"

"What?!"

Wang An suddenly stood up and ran over quickly.

Ma Yongkang followed closely behind.

The three of them pulled together, constantly tugging at the large fish in the sea. How could the fish compare to the combined strength of the three people?

Its struggles weakened, and it gradually rose to the surface.

The two were dumbfounded. A huge yellow croaker was lying on its side on the surface of the water, and the width of the exposed part was as wide as their bodies.

This one probably weighs more than 100 pounds.

Yang Bai gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, pull together and lift it up."

The two then came to their senses, and the three of them used their strength to lift the yellow croaker onto the deck.

Ma Yongkang stared at the yellow croaker, which was about two meters long, on the ground with a look of shock and envy.

"Yang Bai, you're really good at math! You figured out that the yellow croaker would bite at this time, didn't you?"

Yang Bai's lips curled up slightly. "It's all about brains."

"We definitely underestimated and didn't expect that this kind of fish could appear here. I even suspect that the last bluefin tuna was all planned."

Ma Yongkang was amazed.

Following his previous catch of a 200-pound bluefin bream, he saw Yang Bai catch another 200-pound yellow croaker.

"Otherwise, one would have to say that Widow Sea is full of treasures; such claims are certainly not unfounded."

Wang An squatted down and stroked the yellow croaker.

"What a pity."

Yang Bai sighed.

The two men's eyes widened when they heard the word "regret".

Ma Yongkang pointed at the 200-pound yellow croaker and said, "A 200-pound fish, and a yellow croaker at that, what's there to regret?"

Wang An nodded and said solemnly, "If you think it's a pity, why don't you give it to me?"

"Dream on."

Yang Bai put away his fishing rod, but unfortunately, due to the rod's problem, he couldn't catch any of the 300-pound yellow croakers in this area.

When technology advances and I can buy a more advanced fishing rod, I'll try to catch a 300-pound yellow croaker.

Yang Bai walked into the cabin and pushed out a large wooden box, which was a special place to enlarge the fish.

"Give me a hand, spread out a block of ice."

The three men lined the wooden crate with ice, lifted the 300-pound yellow croaker into the crate, and then filled it with ice again to completely enclose the fish.

After everything was settled, the boat was on its way back.

Wang An noticed that the route he took when he came in was completely different from the route he took when he left.

"Yang Bai, you're taking the wrong route."

Yang Bai smiled and, as expected, asked the same question as Liu Dade.

"This is precisely where the real danger of the Widow Sea lies."

He explained the principle behind it.

The two nodded in unison.

Wang An exclaimed in amazement, "This is the masterpiece of nature!"

"This isn't just happening somewhere in Widow Sea; it's happening everywhere."

Ma Yongkang nodded, "This trip was definitely worthwhile."

Just as he had imagined, the Widow Sea was beautiful, mysterious, and full of danger.

Back on shore, the port staff were busy at work. Yang Bai greeted Li Chang and said, "I caught a big fish here, come and buy it."

Li Chang quickly got up, "You caught a big fish again while fishing? What big fish?"

Yang Bai nodded, "Two hundred pounds of big yellow lips."

Li Chang stood there in shock. "What did you say? Really? A two-hundred-pound big yellow-lipped guy? Take me to see him right now!"

Last time, Yang Bai caught a 200-pound bluefin tuna and a giant grouper, and this time he caught a 200-pound yellowfin tuna.

This is going to turn the fishing port upside down!

He walked up to the two-hundred-pound man with yellow lips, his lips trembling slightly.

"It can be top-quality. A piece of fish meat costs three cents a pound, and the gelatin costs thirty dollars a pound."

The most important part of the yellow croaker is the gelatin inside its belly; this one probably has gelatin worth a hundred dollars.

Yang Bai nodded.

He already has the fish maw, so he doesn't need this one; he can just sell it directly.

"Okay, I'll have someone come and get it done right away. I'll settle the bill with you later."

Li Chang, with a grin on his face, ran off the boat and quickly called four people to move the fish and a professional craftsman to kill the fish and extract the glue.
