Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea

The Eve of the Storm

My uncle’s house was not far away, just behind the convenience store, and we arrived there in less than a few minutes.

When Chen Zhiyao carried the things over, her eldest cousin and his wife were cleaning up the leftover fish in the yard.

"Brother and sister-in-law, we have a good harvest today."

Hearing Chen Zhiyao's clear voice, Shen Qingmei turned around and smiled:

"Tangtang, you came just in time. I left two fish for you. Your brother was just about to take them."

"Then we really have the same mind. There are quite a few crabs in the crab cage today. I brought some orchid crabs and clams over."

As Chen Zhiyao said this, she handed the bucket in her hand to Shen Qingmei with a smile, as if she was presenting a treasure.

"Tangtang, you're here."

At this time, the uncle who heard the sound came over with a bucket containing a black sea bream weighing more than a kilogram and a turbot weighing about two kilograms.

Seeing the orchid crabs in the bucket, the frugal Chen Daqiang muttered:

"Girl, why did you bring so many orchid crabs? They are quite big. It would be great if you could sell them."

Chen Zhiyao replied with a smile, "Uncle, why don't you sell the fish?"

Chen Daqiang glared at him in pretended dissatisfaction, "You girl, you still talk back. Your second brother will be back from vacation in two days, come over for dinner then."

"Okay, I haven't seen my second brother for a long time."

Chen Zhiyao has two cousins. The older cousin Chen Feng has been fishing with his family since he was a child. Now he has even converted the fishing boat into a fishing boat.

But my second cousin didn't like being a fisherman, so after graduating from college, he became a nine-to-five office worker.

The family’s fishing boat has been making good profits recently, and Chen Daqiang is thinking of calling his youngest son back to help.

When I came out of my uncle's house, I saw a lot of dark clouds gathered in the sky, which looked dark and depressing.

"It looks like it's going to rain." Chen Zhiyao walked quickly home carrying a bucket of water.

The two fish we brought back were caught by my cousin and his friends at Seagull Island today, and they are still alive and kicking.

Seeing that the two fish were quite energetic, Chen Zhiyao placed them in a tank in the yard.

In addition, the bluefin bream that we caught in the morning was also kept in the tank.

The water tank in the corner is a square with a length, width and height of one meter, and there is a small oxygenator on the side.

Normally, the fish that cannot be eaten at home will be kept here temporarily.

In addition, there is a rectangular tank next to it, which contains some small seafood such as oysters, clams and white clams.

When she returned to the kitchen, Chen Zhiyao could already smell the fragrance. There would still be a seafood dinner in the evening.

The huge steamer is divided into two layers, the upper layer is used to steam the fat and roe-filled orchid crabs, and the lower layer is used to steam a whole original oyster.

In addition, there are braised conger eels just out of the pot, as well as clams and white clams that are about to be put into the pot.

Chen Zhiyao diligently helped out and learned from them at the same time.

Yan Shuting had a perfect timing for cooking. Just as Chen Zhiyao brought the last dish to the table, two footsteps, one light and one heavy, were heard at the door.

Chen Zhiyao was quite familiar with the footsteps at home. As soon as she heard them, she knew it was her father and grandmother who had returned.

There were more and more dark clouds in the sky, and it started to drizzle outside when we were halfway through dinner.

Although there was no wind, it felt a bit stuffy, a bit like a precursor to a typhoon.

Chen Zhiyao turned around and looked at the yard that was already wet with rain. It seemed that she would not be able to go out to sea tomorrow.

Fishermen depend on the weather for their livelihood. If it rains or there is a strong wind, they cannot go out to sea.

Yan Shuting was unpacking crabs when she suddenly remembered that her daughter had rented a house in Guangzhou and it seemed that she had not yet moved out.

"Tangtang, have you not yet given up the lease on the house you rented before?"

Chen Zhiyao, who was concentrating on eating clams, was stunned. She had actually forgotten about this.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about my house in Guangzhou. I still have a lot of clothes and stuff there. I'll go back later and pack up the stuff and send it back."

Chen Zhiyao has lived there for two years, and there are quite a few things in the rental house.

"Then you should go back and pack up your things and return the house early. Since you are not going back to Guangzhou now, the rent will be wasted on the landlord."

Yan Shuting felt a little sad when she thought about the wasted rent of this month.

Chen Zhiyao thought for two minutes before she stammered:

"The rent for the small studio I rent is only 700 yuan a month, but the rent for the fishing boat is 4000 yuan a month. I'll wait until the rental period of the fishing boat is up before I decide."

Chen Zhiyao said nice things, but she actually just wanted to delay time and didn't want to go back to pack her things.

There are too many things, it gives me a headache.

No one knows a girl better than her mother. Yan Shuting saw through her little thoughts at a glance.

"Isn't it raining outside? It looks like there will be a typhoon. You might as well take this opportunity to go back to Guangzhou and get these things done."

Chen Zhiyao's procrastination came back again, and she smiled and shook her head:

"Don't worry. I've been out to sea every day recently and I'm tired and thin. I want to rest for two days."

"The rent isn't expensive anyway. I'll return to Guangzhou to check out when the fishing boat expires and hang out with friends for a few days."

Chen Weiqiang, who was standing by, also chimed in: "It's only 700 yuan for rent, so let her do it."

Yan Shuting thought about her daughter's hard work these days, going out early and coming back late. The rent of 700 yuan a month was not much, so she just ignored it.

Chen Weiqiang suddenly patted his daughter on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you want to buy a car before? I'll give you my current van."

"Ah, you gave me the car, then what are you going to do?" Chen Zhiyao didn't expect the topic to change so suddenly, and looked at Chen Weiqiang with a confused face.

"I'm buying a new one." Chen Weiqiang smiled wickedly.

"..."

Well, it turns out that I am your tool for buying a new car.

"But I don't have a driver's license yet."

Chen Zhiyao originally came back to rest and take the driving test, but she was so busy fishing that she completely forgot about it.

Besides, she goes out to sea every day now, so it doesn’t matter whether she gets a driver’s license or not.

Yan Shuting glared at Chen Weiqiang and said, "Your car is in good condition, use it first. Tangtang drives a fishing boat every day now, so she doesn't need a car anymore."

Chen Zhiyao agreed. Now that she was sailing out to sea, she no longer needed a tricycle, but she could buy an electric car for transportation.

In the village, electric cars are more practical.

Grandpa Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly suggested:

"If you don't want to buy a car, you can buy a boat. Tangtang has had quite a good harvest recently. I think we should buy the old boat from Hehua's family."

Chen Zhiyao's eyes lit up when she heard about buying a boat. "Grandpa, how much would it cost to buy Aunt Hehua's boat?"

The old man thought for a moment, "That boat is only 7.8 meters long, and their family has used it for more than 7 years. It is not worth much. I guess it can be bought for tens of thousands of dollars."

Grandma Chen disagreed and felt that buying a boat was not cost-effective.

"The Lotus family has used the boat for seven years. Even if they buy it back, they won't be able to use it for many years. Besides, many things on the boat are old. The cost of repairing it will be more expensive than buying the boat."

If it is tens of thousands of dollars, it is actually a year's rent. Chen Zhiyao thought about it and felt tempted.

She has a sea-hunting system, and will be able to unlock the fishing section in the future. If this boat can be used for a few years, it will be very cost-effective.

Seeing that his daughter wanted to buy it, Chen Weiqiang persuaded her:

"There's no rush. Let's wait until the boat rental period is up. Besides, there are many boats for rent in the village, and some of them are quite new."

Chen Weiqiang thinks the current fishing boats are too old, so he decided to buy a newer boat, as the difference wouldn’t be that much anyway.

Yan Shuting knew that her daughter had made a lot of money by going to the beach and fishing these days, and she agreed with it in her heart.

"Buying a boat is a big deal, so it's better to think it over carefully. And you don't have to buy this boat. I can ask around in the village to see if there are other boats for sale."

She is in the convenience store every day, where people come and go, so she is the most well-informed.

Chen Zhiyao nodded cheerfully, "There's no rush for this, let's wait until the fishing boat expires."

Grandma Chen didn't say much, but just asked her granddaughter to think it over carefully.
