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

Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen then divided the two buckets of sandworms.

The larger sandworms will be used as a snack with drinks tonight.

The smaller ones will be used as bait tomorrow.

I selected more than a dozen particularly large sandworms, which together must weigh four or five pounds.

Once it's prepared, coat it with batter, put it in the oil, and fry it until it sizzles.

Fry for a minute or two, then you can use chopsticks to pick it up and put it in the bowl next to you.

Before long, the plate was piled high with something that looked like fried dough sticks.

Although it's not as thick as a fried dough stick, it's longer.

When it's served, no one needs chopsticks; everyone just grabs one, pops it into their mouth, and chews it—it's crunchy and delicious.

This fresh and delicious flavor is absolutely amazing.

The distinctive fishy smell of sandworms is transformed into a fragrant, fishy aroma when deep-fried in lard, full of the scent of nature.

Everyone, regardless of who they were, raved about the food.

They ate delicious fried sandworms while drinking alcohol.

By nine o'clock, everyone's face was slightly flushed with alcohol, and even Su Puyue couldn't resist the temptation and drank a small cup.

Her alcohol tolerance is nowhere near as good as He Zhenzhen's.

As soon as he stood up, he spun around.

We need to go out to sea to fish in the middle of the night, so we need to go to bed early.

He Zhenzhen was in high spirits and wanted to go back to the fishing boat with Niu Bayi.

This startled Niu Bayi, who clasped his hands together and bowed repeatedly.

"Zhenzhen, I beg you, please sleep with Puyu instead of on the fishing boat. Wait until we're married before you come back to sleep there, okay?"

He Zhenzhen looked dejected and even pouted her lips strangely.

"Bayi, you've changed. You used to want me to sleep with you, why won't you let me now? Have you found another woman outside, so you won't let me go to the fishing boat anymore?"

"You hid the woman on the fishing boat."

Immediately, everyone looked at Niu Bayi in surprise.

isn't it?

Niu Bayi isn't that kind of person, is he?

Niu Bayi was so angry that his forehead was about to explode.

"You woman, how can you say such a thing? Besides you, where else have I had any other women? It's just...it's just..."

As he spoke, he became coy.

"What is it? My God, tell me now, or I'll make you pay and fight you to the death!"

He Zhenzhen grew anxious, staring at Niu Bayi like a tigress.

Niu Bayi had no choice but to say it in front of everyone.

"Last night you snuggled into my arms to sleep and wouldn't let me touch you. Do you know how uncomfortable I was? It was so unbearable, like being in the deepest hell, going through fire and water."

"I didn't sleep well all night, and I was too scared to touch you!"

"Please, grandma, let me sleep alone!"

He also bowed deeply to He Zhenzhen.

Immediately, He Rongxian burst into laughter.

Then Zhang Xiufen and He Laifu burst into laughter.

Grandma grinned, her toothless mouth agape, laughing incessantly.

Su Puyue laughed so hard she could hardly breathe.

He Zhenzhen was a little confused at first, but seeing everyone laughing so happily, she suddenly understood what was going on.

Her face turned red, and she stomped her foot suddenly.

"My god, Niu Bayi, are you trying to kill yourself? You could have just told me secretly, why... why did you have to say it in front of so many people? It's so embarrassing!"

She raised her two little hands, covered her face, and crawled into the house.

Niu Bayi ignored her and everyone else, and turned to go back to the fishing boat.

Of course, he was also carrying a bucket of sandworms.

Around 1 a.m., as usual, Su Puyue and He Zhenzhen came over with several buckets of food, more than before.

He Zhenzhen also knew that Chen Liuqi was bringing a few brothers over this morning to go fishing at sea.

Therefore, we must bring plenty of food so that we have enough to eat and have the energy to work.

As the saying goes, even an emperor won't starve his soldiers.

Chen Liuqi and his three brothers had already arrived at the dock.

He didn't immediately disturb Niu Bayi's sleep, but just sat there smoking and waiting.

When the two girls arrive, they will wake Niu Bayi up.

Chen Liuqi is quite principled.

Once everyone was on board, Chen Liuqi introduced his three brothers, Li Xiong, Fan Qisheng, and Lin Kun.

Although, like Chen Liuqi, he had previously worked in coal mines, he had also fished at sea in his earlier years.

I have some experience in fishing.

Previously, when Niu Bayi fought against the Ruins of St. Paul's team, they also participated and were injured, but the injuries were relatively minor, so Chen Liuqi called them over.

After getting to know each other, they sat down on the deck, and the two girls opened the lids of the rice buckets.

Immediately, the aroma of food wafted out.

This is a simple yet nutritious egg fried rice that can fill you up. It also has plenty of dried shrimp and a generous amount of scallions, making it very fragrant.

In addition, there was a large bucket of egg drop soup.

Everyone ate a big bowl of fried rice with eggs and drank a bowl of egg drop soup. After filling their stomachs, they went out to sea.

Chen Liuqi and his three brothers were preparing their weapons on the boat.

Niu Bayi squeezed into the cockpit, taking He Zhenzhen with him as they sailed the boat.

After all, it's a big ship now, and it's nighttime. I'm worried she might not be familiar with it, so I have to keep an eye on her.

Su Puyue watched with great interest from the side.

The True Bull gradually increased its speed to the maximum, riding the wind and waves, heading straight for the sea.

But they didn't arrive at their destination until the sun was high in the sky.

It took about seven hours.

Moreover, this is already at full speed.

If we switch to economy speed mode, it might take thirteen hours.

Even at normal cruising speed, it would take ten hours.

The old fishing boats are almost finished and ready to return to port.

Niu Bayi glanced at the magnetic compass in the cockpit, compared it with the nautical map, and then told He Zhenzhen to stop.

A magnetic compass is a compass used on a ship.

By referring to a nautical map, one can roughly understand where they are.

This is the area my father-in-law mentioned, where many large flounders appear.

Niu Bayi went out and stood on the front deck. He could vaguely see several fishing boats slowly sailing in the distance.

These fishing boats had clearly already set up trawls and were engaged in fishing operations, so they were moving as slowly as if they weren't even moving.

Chen Liuqi leaned closer and asked, "Bayi, shall we set up the trawl net now? This sea area is very vast, and it would be great if we could pinpoint the exact spot with the most flounder."

Niu Bayi said, "No rush, let me take a look first."

He lay on the bow of the boat, silently releasing a stream of spatial seawater, adding his mental focus to find what kind of fish he was looking for, and where that fish gathered.

The seawater in the space fell into the ocean and quickly rushed northwestward at a fairly fast speed.

This time it didn't call for help from the sea turtle; even if it did, it probably wouldn't have been able to.

After all, we've already driven over a hundred kilometers.

Niu Bayi didn't rush to move. He closed his eyes slightly and used his mind to lock onto the seawater in the space.

Before long, the space seawater stopped, about 700 meters away from Niu Bayi.

Niu Bayi turned his head and gave the order to He Zhenzhen, who was still in the cockpit.

"Zhenzhen, sail in that direction, but don't go too fast. When I say stop, stop immediately."
