341: Dad is financially independent now.

There were some large reefs on the seabed here, surrounded by a sandy bottom, with a water depth of about fifteen meters. After the two fishing boats were anchored securely, the Anglers began to take their places.

As time passed, one yellow seabream, porgy, Black Seabream, and Yellowfin Seabream after another were pulled out of the water by the Anglers.

Various excited shouts erupted from the fishing boats; it was quite lively.

They fished until about 3:30 in the afternoon before the fish stopped biting. Yang Qi gave the order, everyone reeled in their lines, and the fishing boats headed back.

The day's sea fishing trip entered its countdown!

At this moment, that Angler who hadn't listened to Yang Qi and hadn't bought a sun-protective shirt had all his exposed skin turning bright red.

He winced in pain whenever it was touched.

This guy had gotten a sunburn!

He kept crying out in pain, regretting not listening to the captain!

The other Anglers grinned while listening, holding back their laughter unless they couldn't help it!

On the way back, Yang Qi chatted with his dad over the radio and learned that there were two people seasick on that side, but the situation was okay.

This time, both fishing boats docked at Qingshan Town Pier.

Because the wave chaser would basically be used for taking guests out in the future, it needed to appear in the public eye frequently.

After all, it wouldn't necessarily always be guests from Tide Cottage. Most people going out fishing were from the general public, so the wave chaser needed exposure.

Especially when these Anglers carried off whole boxes of their catch, it immediately caught the attention of people at the pier.

Among these people were fishmongers and other Anglers.

"This boat captain's ability to find fish is quite good. Look at these Anglers; they all seem to have quite a good catch!"

"It seems so. Next time I have a chance, I'll take his boat out to fish. Damn, I've been skunked for days!"

"Let's go, let's go. Let's get the contact information from this captain first."

Two Anglers found Yang Limin and asked for his phone number.

"Bosses, are you selling the fish you caught? If you are, sell them to me. I guarantee to give you the highest price!"

"Sell them to me! Boss, I offer the highest price in the entire pier!"

Several fishmongers also gathered around, each voicing their opinions.

"We'll sell. If the price is right, we'll sell to you!"

The Angler who had caught a lot of fish today spoke up, saying he still had a few days to play here and couldn't finish eating so many fish, so selling some to recoup some costs would be good.

Using fishing to support fishing—isn't that the standard for a qualified Angler?

Sell, definitely sell! It's not about the money! It's mainly about enjoying the process of fishing and then selling the fish.

"Before, the fish I caught weren't even enough for myself to eat, and now I can actually sell them for money. If I go back to my hometown and tell those fishing buddies about this, hehehe..."

"Just thinking about it is wonderful! Hehehe."

So, this group of inland tourist Anglers, except for keeping a few to eat themselves, sold the rest to the fishmongers.

Those with fewer catches sold for two or three hundred, and those with more sold for six or seven hundred yuan. Everyone was grinning from ear to ear, beaming with joy.

Yang Qi estimated that this was the first time in their fishing careers that they had seen a return on their investment.

He and his dad, of course, didn't sell; they put the fish they had caught into the live fish box and took them back to Tide Cottage to see if any other tenants wanted to buy fish.

After all, most people weren't Anglers, and only a small portion of people went out to sea to fish.

Since they both used live fish boxes, most of the fish were still alive. If they couldn't sell them today, they could keep them in the large fish tank.

After returning home, as expected, half of the catch was sold, earning over two thousand yuan.

Yang Qi helped his dad calculate the wave chaser's approximate income for the day:

Ten people's boat fees: 2800 yuan; fish sales: over 1200 yuan; fishing rod rental income: 800 yuan.

Expenses were oil, ice, and Shrimp, totaling about 500 yuan.

Today, his dad's income was about 4300 yuan.

Not bad, quite good!

If you add in the income share from the harvest's catch, "tsk tsk tsk," calling him "Boss Yang" was well-deserved!

Yang Limin, hearing his son call him "Boss Yang" repeatedly, beamed and almost lost himself.

"Get lost!"

He scolded his son with a smile.

"Dad, you don't have to turn this money in, right?"

Yang Qi said with a grin.

"Of course not. Don't I still need to buy gas and ice?"

Yang Limin held his head high and waved his hand, saying confidently. The days when he had no more than two hundred yuan in his pocket should be gone forever.

"I've agreed with your mom that from now on, half will be turned into the national treasury, and I'll keep half for myself. Hehehe."

"Congratulations, Dad, on achieving financial freedom!"

"You brat, don't ruin my moment. It wasn't easy for me to get this opportunity."

"I know, I know. Don't worry!"

Money is a man's courage; without money in his pocket, his backbone just can't stand straight!

Yang Qi gave his dad some of the fishing spots he had marked. In the future, depending on the situation, if there weren't too many guests, he would let his dad go out to sea by himself.

However, things didn't go as planned. By dinnertime, another twenty or so guests wanted to go out to sea.

Because the guests who were originally hesitant today saw that those who went out had a good catch, they were itching to go and all expressed their desire to go sea fishing.

Forget it, let's take care of these first batch of guests first. Since they had just started in this business and everyone wanted to do their best, Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan were basically helping out here during the day.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, the two fishing boats carried another twenty guests from the homestay and sailed toward the sea.

"If the sea could take away my sorrow, just like it takes every river. All the wounds I've suffered, all the tears I've shed, my love, please take it all away..."

On the deck of the setting sail, piloted by Yang Qi, the song "The Sea" could be heard. At first, two or three people were singing, but as they sang, it became a chorus, and even the people on the wave chaser started singing along.

Even Yang Qi started singing along, while trying hard to remember the lyrics; for the lines he couldn't remember, he just hummed "mm mm mm" to make up the numbers.

At least the melodious tune was likely correct.

So, along the way, everyone happily sang songs, their moods very high. Yang Qi also sang along when he knew the words, hummed when he didn't, and kept his mouth shut when he didn't know the song.

This group of people, whether they had taken seasickness medicine beforehand or if singing distracted them, didn't have a single person suffering from seasickness or vomiting.

"Bosses, pay attention. There is a school of fish ahead. I wish you all continuous catches and full hauls."

Yang Qi directed the wave chaser to stop.

By the time he stopped the boat and came to the deck, some Anglers had already hooked fish.

"Hahaha, I've hooked a fish! It's so strong!"

Immediately after, another Angler shouted:

"I've hooked one too! Hahaha, this is awesome!"

As Yang Qi cast his rod, the sound of fishing lines cutting through the water, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," was everywhere on the fishing boat, making everyone's adrenaline surge at the sound.
