NFBE Chapter 224 Tuna
Chapter 224 Tuna
"Change the hook and use this fish as bait."
"?"
Chen Guanghui was puzzled. Why not just use some small fish and shrimp as bait? This was his first fish...
While he was stunned, Song An Ning had already taken action, changed all his equipment, put on the big fish hook, and was ready to cast the rod.
"Stop talking nonsense. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Let's get moving."
"All right……"
This was not a momentary impulse on Song An Ning's part, but Xiangxiang said there was a big creature in the water. Although she didn't know what it was, she had to seize this opportunity.
Although Chen Guanghui knew what Song Anning meant, he still felt a little uncomfortable and moved slowly.
When he changed his equipment and was about to cast the rod, he saw Song An Ning's fishing rod suddenly shake, and she staggered.
"Oh my god! Such a strong pulling force, even more ferocious than that dragon grouper."
"Don't cast yet, or the line will get tangled. Come and help."
This time, Song An Ning did not hide her weakness, because the big guy in the water was really strong. She used 80% to 90% of her strength, but still couldn't pull it back.
"Okay Master, I'll help you."
"I'll help my sister too."
"Sister Aning, I'm here too."
The younger ones couldn't reach the fishing rod, so Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue held their sister's thighs tightly, fearing that the force of the fish would pull her off the boat.
Yu Xiaochuan and Yu Xiaoyu were holding Song Zeyuan and his sister from behind.
There was a group of little ones following behind the two adults, and the picture looked quite cute.
In fact, being hugged by them restricted Song Anning's movements, and even moving was difficult for her.
Song An Ning looked down at the children who were straining their whole bodies and smiled helplessly.
Forget it, just hold them. It will make them feel involved and it won’t be a wasted trip.
The fish underwater was very smart. It felt the pain at first and fled frantically.
After circling around, he still couldn't get rid of the hook in his mouth, so he swam desperately towards deeper water.
"Cut the line, it's a big fish, we can't reel it in..."
"Tsk tsk, it's too tiring. It's better for me to do it this way. I've only caught one fish so far. I have so much energy but nowhere to use it. Hahaha..."
At this moment, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of Song Anning's forehead. The big fish in the water seemed to be playing a game with her. She pulled it up a little, and the fish ran away further...
It is impossible to use an electric winch here, so Song Anning can only hold the large coil in his hands, which adds a lot of difficulty to the task.
A quarter of an hour later, the fish seemed to have lost some of its strength, and Song Anning and Chen Guanghui also had little strength left.
Seeing this, the people watching nearby also consciously put away their fishing rods to prevent the fishing lines from getting tangled at the last moment.
After another cup of tea, the big fish finally showed up.
"Damn! Tuna! This must be over a hundred pounds, right?"
"What are you looking at! Look at this head, it must weigh at least 200 pounds!"
"This fish is so hard to catch, it can be sold for a good price!"
There were bursts of exclamations on the boat. The Chamber of Commerce found a few people who were good at swimming, launched a small boat down, and after a lot of effort, they finally brought the fish up.
In the face of absolute strength, everyone lost their previous sarcasm and kept congratulating him.
A few people also had ideas in their minds. They cut the small fish they caught into several pieces, replaced them with big hooks, and cast their rods in the same way as Song An Ning to give it a try.
"Miss Song is so lucky! We have ice on board. It's three taels of silver a bucket. Would you like to have some?"
At this moment, she was leaning on the deck railing, completely exhausted. Tuna is a deep-sea fish, and it needs to be bled as quickly as possible after leaving the water, otherwise it will affect the taste.
Moreover, such fish needs to be frozen quickly, otherwise the taste will change.
However, the conditions in this world are limited now, and the best way people can think of to preserve things is to pile them up with ice. Although the temperature cannot reach the level of quick freezing in the previous life, it can still provide some relief.
"A fish this big would need at least ten buckets full of ice, which would weigh thirty taels.
But it's worth spending thirty taels for tuna."
"Please bring some, Master Wei, please."
Song An Ning nodded at him. She had just called him by his last name, Master Wei.
If she guessed correctly, this person was the same as Wei Shisan, but she was still a little curious. If he became the head of the Chamber of Commerce, would he be Wei Shisan? His ranking would probably be higher.
The man was slightly startled by her shouting, then he smiled even more kindly. After taking the silver, he asked someone to bring a large box of ice, put the fish in the middle, and then closed the box.
Song An Ning exchanged half a small fish for such a big one. Everyone was holding their breath. This little girl is good, so they are not much worse!
After watching for a while, they all started to get busy.
Song An Ning didn't rush to cast the fishing rod. She first took the children back to the cabin to rest for a while.
"Master, can Xiangxiang take that fish? Xiangxiang is asking a high price! Haha, high price!
And they replaced it with a bigger one for free, but that fish was contaminated and couldn't be eaten, hehe."
Song Anning thought about it and agreed with Xiangxiang's opinion.
She didn't know what would happen next, and she didn't want the fish she had worked so hard to catch to be ruined by this group of people. She decided to let the system take it. She could use the money to unlock an illustrated book.
"Ding, recovered a wild bluefin tuna, weighing 227 kilograms, and the deposit is 2,500 taels."
"Hehe, it was originally two thousand two hundred and seventy taels, but Xiangxiang rounded it up for the master."
"Thank you, my dear Xiangxiang."
While Xiangxiang was recycling, she also put in a contaminated fish weighing about 250 kilograms.
In fact, the normal price of recycled tuna is not so high, but there is no way. There is no clean fish in the world where Xiangxiang is.
After this fish is transported there, it will definitely be auctioned at a high price, so the price given to Song An Ning is not too much at all.
After resting for a while, several people went out again. Song Anning's arms were sore and he prepared to rest for a while longer.
Moreover, Xiangxiang just gave her two thousand five hundred taels. This unprecedented high price made her very happy and she felt that her hard work was rewarded.
At this time, the fishing rod thrown by Chen Guanghui also shook, and the reel in his hand spun wildly. Chen Guanghui wanted to control it, but he couldn't hold it at all.
"Master, I've caught a big fish! What should I do?"
"What should I do? Follow the steps I just gave you. The fish is struggling now, you can't force it to come up.
Don't worry, the fishing line is long enough, it's okay to let it out for a few dozen meters first."
"Whoa whoa……"
Although he was nervous, he had Song An Ning's guidance beside him, so nothing went wrong.
Moreover, this fish is not very strong, weighing only about forty or fifty kilograms.
Not long after, the fish slowly surfaced. From a distance, under the sunlight, everyone could only see a flash of gold swirling in the water.
"Oh my god! It can't be what I think..."
"The second son of the Chen family, who has never been able to catch a fish in a thousand years, now has caught this thing?"
After seeing the fish clearly, Chen Guanghui's eyes turned red instantly, a sour feeling surged in his nose, and he pointed at the fish in the water with a trembling voice.
"Master, is this really what I caught?
What should I do if I want to cry?
"..."
"Why are you crying? Hold it back..."
