He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

The way she jumped, it looked like something below her neck was about to fly into the sky.

Niu Bayi almost didn't know how to fish after watching it.

He flicked his fishing rod upwards, and immediately a fish flew up; it was quite heavy.

After bouncing around in the air for a while, bang!

It slammed onto the deck.

It kept jumping around.

But the fishhook had already slipped out of its mouth.

This fish has a rather unique shape; its head looks like a mouse, and it has a large hunchback.

It was milky white, covered with dense black spots.

This is the mouse-spotted pattern; the mouse-like head and hunchback are the most distinctive features of this type of spotted pattern.

Therefore, it is also known as hunchback spots.

This spotted mouse must weigh at least three pounds.

He Zhenzhen stared at it in disbelief.

"It really is a grouper! My goodness, it must weigh over three pounds! Niu Bayi, you're amazing! You really caught a fish with just a hook, and so quickly!"

"And you're exactly the spotted rat I wanted! You're not human, you're practically a god!"

She rushed over and, with her two little hands, finally managed to catch the lively, spotted mouse.

The spotted rat was still desperately wagging its tail, hitting her forearm.

She was beaten until red marks appeared on her delicate forearms.

This hurts quite a bit.

He Zhenzhen seemed not to feel the pain. She gripped the rat-spot tightly, stood up abruptly, raised her hands high, and waved them forcefully.

"My husband has really hooked up with a slut!"

It's as if her husband is a great hero who has returned victorious from the battlefield.

Seeing her overjoyed, Niu Bayi was also filled with happiness.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"By the way, your parents and brother also want to eat some grouper, right? I might as well catch a few more and bring them back later."

"How about I do the fishing and you deal with the grouper? Let's divide the work."

He Zhenzhen immediately nodded excitedly and said yes.

Then, everyone went about their own business.

Niu Bayi continued fishing for grouper with his empty hook, catching one every now and then.

While He Zhenzhen wasn't paying attention, he even threw the grouper he had caught into the sea.

The plastic bucket that He Zhenzhen brought was almost overflowing; there were four or five rockfish swaying back and forth inside.

The larger ones weigh four or five pounds.

Even the smaller ones weigh two or three pounds.

In the open ocean, there were probably thirty or forty groupers that swam into the depths of the sea, all kinds of them.

There was even a sea buckthorn weighing over 30 kilograms.

This is extremely precious, so precious that even Niu Bayi is reluctant to eat it for the time being.

Just throw it into the ocean and take good care of it for now.

While Niu Bayi was fishing, He Zhenzhen also began to manipulate the fish.

She truly lived up to her reputation as a fisherwoman, having learned excellent culinary skills from her mother.

In no time at all, the rat spots were cleaned up and even decorated with a decorative knife.

Next, I lit a fire with a charcoal stove, put a pot on it, poured in some water, and arranged the rat spots on a plate.

Cover and steam.

Then I prepared the minced ginger and chopped scallions.

The meat of this grouper is very fresh and tender, and it doesn't need to be steamed for long.

This one is so big, 15 minutes of steaming is enough.

Open the lid, take out the fish, and sprinkle with shredded ginger and chopped green onions.

Then I heated another spoonful of rapeseed oil and poured it on top.

It squeaks!

Immediately, an incredibly delicious fish aroma wafted over, and then a sprinkle of sesame oil and soy sauce was added.

Become!

The finest ingredients often taste best when cooked in the simplest way.

Then, He Zhenzhen took out a few more large steamed buns and put them in the pot to steam.

Although people in the south don't often eat steamed buns and mainly eat rice, they do go out to sea to fish, so steaming rice takes a long time. Steamed buns are readily available and only need to be steamed for a few minutes to heat up.

Then, she glanced at the plastic bucket and exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh dear, it's all full! Alright, alright, Bayi, stop fishing, or we won't be able to hold any more! The fish hold is full of octopuses, there's no room for them, and it's a waste to catch them."

"Let them live in the sea for a few more days, then come back to fish for them later!"

If the groupers in the sea could hear this, they would all rise to the surface and shout: "Thank you!"

At this moment, Niu Bayi also started sniffling.

Turning his head, he saw the fragrant, steamed rat and his eyes lit up.

"Zhenzhen, your cooking is really good. This steamed grouper looks delicious."

He Zhenzhen was still a little embarrassed.

"I just steamed it the usual way, and it wasn't particularly delicious. Even if it was delicious, it was the grouper that was good, and it had nothing to do with my cooking skills."

Niu Bayi put down his fishing rod, walked over, and sat down cross-legged on the deck.

He shook his head.

"No, no, no, no one else's grouper is definitely not as delicious as this. Even the grouper made by the world's top chefs is not as good as the one made by my wife."

"What she did was top-notch! Absolutely the best!"

He Zhenzhen blushed deeply after being praised by Niu Bayi. The usually carefree girl was now shy.

"Alright, alright, your wife's steamed grouper is the best, hurry up and eat."

She picked up the bowl and chopsticks, peeled off the fattest part of the fish belly, filled most of the bowl, and handed it to Niu Bayi to eat.

Niu Bayi took it without ceremony, picked up a large piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and took a bite.

Instantly, the tender and smooth fish meat seemed to burst with juice in my mouth.

Although it was a little hot, the aroma made him nod in approval.

"It's so delicious, so incredibly delicious!"

He picked up another piece of fish belly and held it to He Zhenzhen's little mouth.

"You eat too."

He Zhenzhen had been craving it for a long time.

Not to mention the incredibly plump fish meat right under my nose.

She tried to politely decline, but couldn't.

Without saying a word, it opened its little mouth, let out a loud "whoosh," and bit down.

Then, they savored it with relish.

As she tasted it, she said with a grin, "The grouper my husband catches is especially delicious, and the grouper my husband's wife cooks is especially delicious!"

Niu Bayi's eyes widened.

"Wow, I think you're a bit shameless? But I like it."

The soon-to-be couple would hold a large steamed bun in their left hand and chopsticks in their right, picking up a piece of fish, either stuffing it into their mouths or placing it on top of the steamed bun, taking a big bite with a loud "whoosh".

The tender fish meat, paired with fragrant white steamed buns, has a unique flavor.

In no time at all, the rat-spotted rats were wiped out.

He didn't waste the remaining fish broth either, wiping it clean with a steamed bun before stuffing it into his mouth, eating with immense satisfaction.

After finishing their meal and washing their hands, He Zhenzhen took the helm of the boat.

She's become addicted to it.

Niu Bayi was also relieved and lay on the bow of the boat, enjoying the sea breeze. He felt incredibly comfortable.

About an hour later, we arrived at the county town's dock.

It's past one o'clock in the afternoon.

There weren't many people at the dock.

After all, who would want to stay by the scorching sun on such a hot day?

A few scattered people watched a fishing boat approach and curiously looked over.

Who is so diligent as to come selling fish in a fishing boat in the middle of the day?

Niu Bayi ran to the stern and turned off the engine.

Using the remaining bit of power, He Zhenzhen managed to moor the boat in an empty spot.

Niu Bayi ran over and winked at He Zhenzhen.

"Alright, now go ahead and use your loud voice."
