274: Unit price and total price

"My Mahi-Mahi looks so good, it must be worth quite a bit of money, right?"

Yao Shanshan, standing to Yang Qi's left, blinked her large, beautiful eyes and stared at him as she asked.

"Uh... well. It's worth six or seven hundred yuan."

Yang Qi organized his thoughts before speaking.

Shanshan heard this and thought, 'Not bad!' In less than twenty minutes, she had earned the equivalent of four or five days of her previous salary.

"Hehehe, that's great!"

"Silly girl, Mahi-Mahi only costs ten to twenty yuan per catty."

Bai Xue heard their conversation and laughed mockingly.

This was the difference in rhetoric; mentioning a small unit price versus a large total price makes people feel completely different.

"Hehehe, look at mine, this Yellowfin Tuna is worth at least 100 yuan per catty."

Bai Xue said somewhat smugly.

"Ah! Is this a Yellowfin Tuna? That's so annoying! I want to catch a Tuna too!"

Yao Shanshan shouted loudly, unwilling to concede.

Following Bai Xue's cast, the harpoon pierced the Tuna's head. This eighty-plus catty Yellowfin Tuna instantly perished.

At the same time, Yang Qi also shot and killed his sixty-plus catty Tuna.

Yao Shanshan immediately ran over to help; she was now actively doing everything she could to learn all the necessary skills.

As the crane from the freezer compartment lifted, the two Yellowfin Tuna were hauled onto the deck. Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan each took one and began bleeding and gutting them.

Yang Qi focused on himself, re-baiting his hook and casting his rod. Soon, another Tuna took the bait. He immediately reeled in the line quickly.

"Mine should be a Yellowfin Tuna this time, right? I refuse to believe I can't catch a Tuna."

Yao Shanshan said, grinding her teeth.

Yang Qi used his Golden Finger to check, and Yao Shanshan indeed had a Yellowfin Tuna on her line.

As the electric reel retrieved the line, an eighty-plus catty Yellowfin Tuna surfaced.

"Hahaha, Tuna! I finally caught a Yellowfin Tuna!"

"Yang Qi, Bai Xue, this is the first Tuna I've ever caught in my life!"

Yao Shanshan shouted excitedly.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, sister!"

Amidst the congratulations from the couple, Yao Shanshan lost herself. She began to believe she was born for sea fishing, as not everyone catches a Tuna on their very first deep-sea fishing trip.

If she were to manually reel in a Tuna, she might become deeply obsessed with fishing—commonly known as "falling into the pit."

In the end, the three of them caught eight Yellowfin Tuna together: Yang Qi caught four, Bai Xue caught two, and Yao Shanshan also caught two, though all were under a hundred catties. Of course, they also caught many other types of fish.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Qi was just about to tell the two women to rest early.

Suddenly, several Dogtooth Tuna appeared in his sensory vision, each weighing around three hundred catties.

Yang Qi's heart rate accelerated with excitement. Before he could calm himself, four more large Dogtooth Tuna unexpectedly swam into the vision.

This was because the searchlight of the setting sail was turned on, attracting countless small fish to gather, and these Dogtooth Tuna had come for the small fish.

Not long after, more than twenty Dogtooth Tuna appeared in the vision, surrounding the setting sail and devouring the schools of small fish.

With a few "creak, creak" sounds, all three fishing rods hooked fish simultaneously. The rods quickly bent over.

"Oho!"

"Fish on!"

"I've hooked a big one again."

The three exchanged smiles, their joy evident.

Yang Qi immediately gripped the rod with both hands and firmly set the hook. After the fish's mouth was pierced, it began to flee frantically.

Bai Xue also changed her strategy, gripping the rod tightly with both hands and shaking it continuously up, down, left, and right to disrupt the big fish's powering rhythm.

Yang Qi braced the butt of the rod against his stomach, gripped the rod tightly with both hands, and leaned back. He locked down the drag with his left hand, fighting the Dogtooth Tuna's power head-on.

The moment the big fish slightly relaxed, he immediately bent down, cranked the reel to retrieve the line, and once the line was tight, he forcefully lifted the rod again.

Giving the big fish no time to react, he violently reeled in the line, pulling desperately. As if he had taken a strength booster, he hauled the Dogtooth Tuna toward the surface.

The Tuna was completely bewildered, like a water buffalo being led by the nose, gradually being pulled to the surface.

Yang Qi pulled the Dogtooth Tuna alongside the boat, tied a slipknot with a rope, bent down, and looped it around the big fish's tail.

Seeing that Yao Shanshan had already run over and pulled the crane boom into position, the two worked together to hoist the two-hundred-plus catty Dogtooth Tuna onto the deck.

"I'll bleed it."

Yao Shanshan said simply, then prepared to take out her knife and start bleeding and gutting the fish.

"Alright! Take your time, and be careful with your hands."

Yang Qi looked over; the Tuna on Yao Shanshan's electric reel was still fighting hard. There was no possibility of reeling it in yet, unless she attacked the fish manually.

Looking at the churning white waves on the sea surface beneath the searchlight, countless Dogtooth Tuna were hunting in the water. It was truly a feast for the predators.

If they gave up fishing now to bleed, acidify, and gut that Dogtooth Tuna, it would waste too much time, and they would miss this rare opportunity.

Therefore, when Yao Shanshan proactively offered to handle the bleeding and acid removal just now, Yang Qi did not refuse.

The advantage of having more people was now apparent; with Yao Shanshan providing support, Yang Qi only needed to focus on fishing.

While Yao Shanshan finished gutting the fish and was rinsing the blood off the Tuna, Bai Xue also pulled her Tuna out of the water.

The two women worked together to use the crane to lift the two-hundred-plus catty Dogtooth Tuna that Bai Xue had caught onto the deck.

"I'll handle the bleeding and acid removal; you keep fishing."

Yao Shanshan had naturally also seen the constant churning of large fish competing for prey on the sea surface.

Moreover, she believed she was the least experienced right now, and to avoid affecting the final catch yield, she felt she couldn't waste the time of Yang Qi and Bai Xue, the two professionals.

Just as they finished processing the two Dogtooth Tuna on the deck, Yang Qi was already fiercely fighting the large fish that had just taken his hook.

Yao Shanshan quickly ran to her fishing spot during the break and saw that the electric reel had started retrieving the line automatically.

She grabbed the fishing line with both hands and pulled it back, assisting the electric reel. By the time she had helped retrieve over 100 meters of line, Yang Qi had already pulled his fish out of the water.

"Hahaha, it's huge!"

Yao Shanshan quickly put down her rod and ran over to help prepare the crane.

Subsequently, this Dogtooth Tuna, weighing nearly 230 catties, was hoisted onto the deck by the two of them.

"This fish is almost as tall as I am."

Yao Shanshan smiled and patted the Tuna.

"Not quite, but how about I take a picture for you?"

Yang Qi said to Yao Shanshan with a laugh.

"Sure! Come on, help me take a nice picture. No photo editing, no picture!"

Yao Shanshan immediately agreed upon hearing this. However, she still offered a small suggestion.
