The Beachcombing Girl and the Cool Campus Heartthrob (Part 5)
The second time he took the bait, Song Ning was more skilled than before.
After calmly struggling with the fish underwater for more than half an hour, the fish gradually emerged from the water.
"Shi Jiugong, it's wild Shi Jiugong again!"
Ah Xing was the first to rush to the side of the boat, followed closely by Ah Le, who was muttering to himself.
"Why didn't Mazu hear me when I prayed for her blessing? Am I not handsome enough?"
Chicken Bro speechlessly pulled the people aside, one in each hand, and said, "If you're not going to help, don't block the way. Move aside."
He picked up the net and, with lightning speed, scooped up the stone stalk as well.
This one weighed 5.9 jin (approximately 2.45 kg), which was indeed heavier than the previous one.
Everyone couldn't help but look on with envy.
Ah Xing: "It's a bit of a pity. If it weighed six jin, it could probably sell for more. I heard last time that a six-jin Shi Jiu Gong sold for 300 yuan per jin, which would be 1,800 yuan for one."
Ah Zhuang: "Five catties is at least 250 yuan per catty, that's a lot of money. And he even caught two. It's really thanks to Mazu's blessing."
Chicken Bro: "They were lucky, and they learned quickly too. They learned how to fish in no time."
Song Ning never expected to be so lucky; the price of the two Shi Jiugong stones was also beyond his expectations.
While everyone was busy looking at his two stone pillars, he pulled Ah Xing aside and said, "Brother Ah Xing, how about I pay for the fuel this time?"
Ah Xing refused, saying that they had agreed before setting off and there was no reason to change his mind just because he had caught a fish; that would be too untrustworthy.
Song Ning couldn't argue with him, so she had to give up.
Fortunately, everyone seemed to benefit from his luck, as eight stone nine-year-olds boarded the boat in a row. The heaviest one was Ah Le, who kept secretly praying to Mazu, weighing two and a half pounds.
"Wow! Hahaha, 2.7 jin! I knew Mazu would still bless my cute little baby. I've hit the jackpot!"
A 2.7-pound stone goby costs around 120 yuan on the market. After deducting taxes, 200 yuan for a fish isn't a small amount.
Moreover, they had only been at sea for an hour, so it was still very early.
"I won't sell this Stone Nine-Gold. I'll take it back to my future father-in-law. He really likes Stone Nine-Gold and has never eaten one this big before. This is a good opportunity for me to show off."
Ah Le was talking happily when Song Ning learned that he was already engaged. His girlfriend was a girl from the next village. The two of them could be considered childhood sweethearts, which was why they got engaged so early. They would choose an auspicious day next year to prepare for the wedding.
Now it was Song Ning's turn to feel a little envious, and he offered a few words of congratulations.
Ah Le said with a grin that he was lucky to have benefited from his good fortune, and that he would invite him to a banquet when he got married. Song Ning readily agreed.
With two sets of footage of Shi Jiugong and Song Ning, they basically had everything they needed, and he had already figured out how to edit the video.
The first fish caught after Chicken Bro made a promise to him, and the second fish caught after he prayed to Mazu for blessings with Ah Le. These coincidences, where words come true, are just for entertainment in the video.
After settling down, he temporarily withdrew from fishing and started taking pictures of the seascape.
The deep sea is profound and mysterious. When the camera zooms out, the surface of the sea appears calm and still, but when the camera zooms in, the shadows beneath the surface inspire endless awe.
Song Ning couldn't help but become lost in thought as she watched.
What kind of scenery lies beneath this deep and unknown ocean?
"Little brother Aning, have some water."
Ah Xing handed him a bottle of water, breaking Song Ning's concentration. He turned back and thanked him.
How's everyone's fishing going?
Ah Xing subtly observed his expression and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual about him.
He grinned, revealing a mouthful of bright white teeth. "That kid Ah Le has the best luck today. He's caught over a thousand fish so far. He's so happy he's been laughing nonstop."
Song Ning peeked out from behind him and, sure enough, saw Ah Le's big white teeth.
However, after taking a closer look, he found that the others were actually doing quite well, with even the worst catch having been around five or six hundred fish.
He suddenly realized he couldn't be too lazy. He had come all this way to sea and had enough material for a video shoot, so he should just stick to fishing.
He also took a quick look and saw that a new amount had been added to the Xiaoyu app, totaling about 2,300 yuan.
He did the math and found that this little fish app was, in a sense, more aware of market prices than he was, and that each catch was basically linked to the market price.
He returned to his spot to fish, and the sun had already risen.
Song Ning didn't rush to go fishing but applied another layer of sunscreen first, because he had previously explained that his skin was prone to sunburn, and people were accepting of his decision to apply sunscreen.
Ah Le was still grinning foolishly, showing his big teeth, "My girlfriend's skin is actually quite fair, but is she like you, not good at sun protection? What sunscreen do you use? Is it any good? I'll buy her a bottle when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Song Ning took out her phone and sent him the link.
"This brand is made in China. It's cheap and comes in a lot of bottles, but the effect is really good. I've been using it for several years. If you're buying it for your girlfriend, this brand is pretty good. There are also some big brands that are even more effective. You can buy either of these."
Ah Le was extremely grateful, then gave him an umbrella to hold up behind him while she ran to the side with her phone to place an order.
As the sun grew stronger, the fish became less willing to take the bait.
However, Song Ning still caught five fish, which were of average value, costing only ten or twenty yuan per kilogram.
Everyone else was in a similar situation, so Ah Xing simply called out.
"Stop fishing and come eat! It's so hot in the sun, even fish need to escape the heat."
Song Ning followed everyone into the cabin, where a pot of freshly cooked instant noodles contained some cheap, fresh fish that they had caught. Song Ning was given a full bowl.
“Little brother Aning, don’t be disgusted. We usually like to eat like this. The noodles are delicious and the fish is delicious too. You should try it.”
Ah Le grinned and handed him a bowl, then picked up a bowl for himself and plopped down next to him, burying his head in his food and slurping it down.
Song Ning adjusted the camera, focusing the lens on his bowl.
After simply cleaning the innards and gills of the fresh fish, I just put it directly into the instant noodles and cooked it together. I don't have any culinary skills, but the fish is fresh enough, and the instant noodle seasoning packet is incredibly fragrant.
Song Ning only gave a few close-up shots before he couldn't help but lower his head and join the battle. In an instant, a group of burly men in the cabin were all burying their heads in their food, eating so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads. But the food looked delicious, and they were also very hungry.
After all, fishing is a physically demanding activity.
