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

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the sea was quiet, with a thin layer of morning mist floating by.

Yang Bai sat in the cockpit of the fishing boat, tidying up all the equipment and bait for catching grouper, making sure everything was in place.

He picked up the key, inserted it into the lock, and gently turned it. The machine engine, which had been silent for a long time, immediately emitted a steady, humming sound.

He hadn't been back to the Widow's Sea since he was forced to venture there last time.

This time, he's not only going to enter the core area of ​​the Widow's Sea.

The sea here is notoriously dangerous, with treacherous waterways and numerous hidden reefs, making the journey extremely unpredictable and fraught with peril.

These days, without radar or satellite charts, navigating the vast ocean relies half on luck and more on solid skills.

Looking at the misty sea outside, Yang Jun felt both curious and apprehensive, and asked a question.

"Brother Yang, what exactly does this core area look like? Not to mention the people in our village, even the experts from the province have never been inside."

He had previously seen several teams of experts come to investigate and try to develop this sea area, but they all ended up returning empty-handed after a lot of trouble because the terrain was too complex and the risks were too high.

Yang Bai shrugged lightly, his tone indifferent: "What else could it be? Just an ordinary sea area."

To outsiders, it's just a stretch of sea surrounded by reefs, nothing particularly strange or unusual.

But only he himself knew the dangers involved.

In his previous life, it took him a full ten years to gradually figure out all the waterways and rules of this core area.

As the two chatted casually, the steel fishing boat steadily entered the Widow Sea.

The waterways outside were winding and intricate. Liu Dade stared at them for a while, but felt dizzy and couldn't remember the route at all, let alone drive the boat through it himself.

The other people on the ship were also stunned by the strange and complicated sea route, and everyone looked solemn.

Yang Jun shook his head repeatedly, sighing sincerely, "This road is too dangerous. If I were driving, I'd be sure to crash into a reef within minutes."

He turned to look at Yang Bai, who was gripping the steering wheel steadily and calmly, and asked, full of confusion, "Brother Yang, how did you memorize such a complicated route?"

This sea not only has many winding and tricky bends, but also hides many reefs more than three meters deep underwater.

These reefs rise and fall with the tides and waves, appearing and disappearing intermittently. If you're not careful, they can be completely submerged in the water and become impossible to see clearly.

If a ten-ton steel ship is hit, it will at least be damaged, or at worst, it will run aground.

But Yang Bai seemed to have figured out every danger in advance, and always managed to avoid them without making the slightest mistake.

Yang Bai pointed to his head, "Right here."

The fishing boat passed through a narrow and deep strait, and suddenly the view opened up before them, officially entering the core area of ​​the Widow Sea.

This is an open sea area surrounded by a series of reefs, roughly seven or eight nautical miles in circumference.

In the middle of the azure sea, a small, solitary reef island stands alone on the water, quiet and secluded.

Yang Bai stopped the boat and lifted an iron bucket full of dead mackerel from the cabin.

The stench made everyone in the cabin feel nauseous.

Adding to the ship's rocking motion at sea, some people went straight to the deck to vomit.

Yang Jun pinched his nose and asked, "Brother Yang, this stuff smells awful! Don't fish prefer fresh food? How can they possibly like something as expensive as a grouper?"

The giant grouper lives inside the cave. If the strong smell settles down, Yang Jun is afraid that the giant grouper will hide inside and refuse to come out.

There's no way the thread will get caught.

Yang Bai swung the iron bucket full of dead fish in front of Yang Jun and laughed.

"These are my treasures that I've left out all day. They're so good they'll make even the giant grouper in the sea drool."

He took the order for grouper and yesterday collected ten buckets of mackerel that Chen Dahai had caught to use for today's grouper fishing.

Grouper, on the other hand, has a particular fondness for dead mackerel because it is filled with the smell of decay.

They love these smells. In his previous life, he used this method to catch grouper weighing over 300 jin.

When I posted it on my WeChat Moments, countless friends were incredibly envious.

"Alright, move all the bait onto the deck."

The giant grouper lives in caves, so you need to find out where the caves are so that you can cast your fishing hooks with precision and catch fish more often.

However, he remembered all of this clearly in his previous life, because after he successfully developed it, he would go sea fishing for grouper whenever he had free time.

After the bait was placed on the deck, Yang Jun immediately operated the winch to pull out the fishing line little by little.

Yang Bai took out a mackerel, hooked it onto the fishing line, and cast it into the sea. The bait sank continuously.

He walked into the cabin.

"Proceed at my speed, don't rush, take your time!"

Yang Bai steered the boat, and the crew followed his instructions, baiting the hooks and then casting the lines.

Yang Bai counted the fishhooks falling into the sea one by one, and stopped after drifting more than ten meters after counting to the fiftieth one.

"Is everything in place?"

They all nodded.

Yang Bai stood up and went to the warehouse to retrieve the fishing rod that Wang An had given him.

Yang Jun was pleasantly surprised.

"Brother Yang, are you going fishing?"

They felt it was a great pity that Yang Bai caught a 200-pound bluefin tuna last time, and they never expected to see Yang Bai fishing in person today.

"Are you trying to catch a grouper?"

Liu Dade asked.

Yang Bai nodded. "Nonsense, I don't care for any fish here except for grouper. If you guys bring your fishing rods, you can fish together. Let's have a fishing competition, and I'll give the first place a hundred yuan! Two hours."

Longline fishing for grouper is not easy; it takes at least two hours to catch one.

Why not take this opportunity to hold a fishing competition? It's better than just waiting around.

They perked up when they heard there were stakes involved.

Every boatman has a fishing rod.

They all rushed into the fishing boat and grabbed their fishing rods.

Liu Dade picked up a dead mackerel and said, "Xiao Yang, your rod is only suitable for fishing for heavy fish. Mine is not as good as your rod, but it can catch about fifty pounds. It's not easy to catch big fish. We only have two hours, so it's not certain who will win or lose, right, brothers?"

The brothers on the ship started to make a ruckus.

"That's right, if I beat Brother Yang, I can brag about it for the rest of my life."

"If I win, I'll treat everyone to dinner."

"Brother Yang, you're good at everything, but fishing is all about luck. Don't let your luck get you outdone by us."

"This might be the only time in our lives we've ever beaten him."

.......

They all became very excited; beating Yang Bai was much more exciting than winning a hundred yuan.

In the future, when people talk about themselves, they will say that they are the men who have surpassed Yang Bai.
