85: Possessed by the European Emperor

Never thought Mother Yang's luck would be so good!

The first cast brought up three fish: two Blackfish and one Black Sea Bream.

"Wow, Auntie, you're amazing! Right off the bat, two Blackfish and a Black Sea Bream. Come, let me take a picture for you."

Bai Xue praised loudly.

"Blackfish? They do look a bit black. Are these fish expensive?"

Mother Yang turned her head and asked.

Bai Xue took out her phone and snapped a few pictures of her.

Then, while putting on gloves to remove the fish, she explained to Mother Yang:

"Blackfish are considered a relatively high-end, valuable species. Their market price is between 500 and 1000 yuan per jin."

"These two of yours are both over six jin, so selling them for 800 yuan per jin shouldn't be a problem."

"What? 800 yuan per jin? Then these two of mine are nearly 9000 yuan?" Mother Yang was greatly surprised.

"Son, is Bai Xue telling the truth? Two fish for 9000 yuan?"

Yang Dad was also a bit flustered after hearing this. "Damn it, the two or three mu of land I painstakingly farmed back home, I couldn't earn 9000 yuan in two years."

"If it weren't for contracting the village's orchard, it would be difficult to even support my son's schooling."

Yang Qi looked at his parents and said:

"Mom, these two fish you caught are called Blackfish, and they are considered a relatively rare and valuable species. For fish this size, the price is indeed at least that expensive."

"Also, both of you need to pay attention: when fishing in the sea, you must wear gloves when removing fish."

"Otherwise, getting pricked by a fin can be very painful. Some fish even have venomous fins, so be very careful."

"Okay, got it!"

Mother Yang also put on gloves and learned from Bai Xue how to remove the fish. Then she carefully placed the fish into the live fish tank.

"Dad, we need to step up our game!" Yang Qi said to Yang Dad.

"Also, the Red Seabream you just caught needs to be bled. Watch me do it. This is a necessary step to ensure the fish meat is fresh, sweet, and has no fishy smell."

After speaking, Yang Qi made a deep cut below the fish's gills, severing the Red Seabream's artery. Then he placed it in a large box of ice water to soak.

"Hmm, okay, I'm watching you! Go for it!"

Yang Dad was also full of fighting spirit, baiting his hook and casting his rod.

Perhaps he was stimulated by Mother Yang's two fish worth nine thousand yuan. This time, his rod cast was incredibly smooth.

Yang Qi also began his own fishing. The two successively caught several Black Sea Bream and also some large Yellow Chicken Fish.

This time, he set his sights on a large Big Vermilion Snapper, weighing around 60 jin.

This was a school of Red Seabream that had just swum over, neither too big nor too small.

Unfortunately, before the bait reached that large Big Vermilion Snapper, it was intercepted by another Red Seabream.

"Never mind, you'll do!"

Yang Qi raised his rod to set the hook and reeled in the fishing line rapidly. Anyway, these Red Seabream are also difficult to keep alive, and besides, this was only the first school of fish encountered since heading out to sea.

"Fish on! I've got a big one! Hahaha!"

Yang Dad shouted beside him.

The sound of the fishing line cutting through the water, "Woo woo woo," made his adrenaline surge.

Yang Qi turned his head to look, "Oh, wow~!" It really wasn't small! At least a 60-jin Big Vermilion Snapper.

"Dad, the first wave of attack from a big fish is very strong. If you can't hold it, loosen the drag a bit, let the fish run for a while to tire it out. Don't rush."

Yang Qi told Yang Dad how to handle a big fish while walking over to help him put on the fighting belt.

"Dad, rest the rod on this, take your time, no need to rush, it won't get away!"

"Okay, got it!"

Under Yang Qi's guidance, Yang Dad also felt much calmer. With a push and pull, he gradually became more adept.

A little further away, Mother Yang and Bai Xue also occasionally let out joyful shouts. It seemed they were also having a good haul.

"Xiao Xue, get the chum cage and chum the water."

Yang Qi shouted loudly.

"Got it, chum the water with the chum cage."

Bai Xue responded loudly and immediately sprang into action.

"Less than ten jin!" Yang Qi weighed the Red Seabream in his hand. Then, after bleeding the fish, he tossed it into the fish basket behind him.

He saw that Yang Dad had already controlled the first wave of attack from the large Big Vermilion Snapper.

"It looks like this fish isn't getting away!" Yang Qi also relaxed.

He re-baited with a Shrimp and cast it forcefully towards that large Big Vermilion Snapper.

After two or three tries like this, that large Big Vermilion Snapper finally took the bait.

The fishing rod in his hand suddenly dipped, and he raised the rod to set the hook. "Fish on!"

A huge pulling force came from the fishing rod; Yang Qi knew he had hooked a fish.

The fish in Yang Dad's hands had also been pulled to the surface, and hearing his son's voice, he turned to see a clear bend in Yang Qi's fishing rod.

"Go, son!"

"Got it, Dad! Put your rod in the rod holder and try to net the fish yourself. If you can't, call Mom for help."

Yang Qi reminded Yang Dad.

"Okay, I'll try it myself first!"

Soon, Yang Dad's joyful voice came.

"Hahaha! I netted it! What a big one."

"Dad, this fish is worth 6000 yuan. Hold the fish up, and I'll take a picture for you."

Yang Dad's eyebrows shot up, his eyes shining.

"6000 yuan? Not bad, not bad! Oh right! I need a picture, come on, come on! Take a picture, take a picture!"

At this moment, the first powerful surge from the Red Seabream Yang Qi had hooked also ended. He took out his phone with one hand and took a few pictures of Yang Dad.

Then he began to fully concentrate on the fish in his hands. Yang Dad also learned from Yang Qi's previous actions and bled the fish.

Just as he scooped the fish onto the deck, Bai Xue's surprised voice reached his ears.

"Auntie, you're amazing! You actually caught a Large Yellow Croaker!"

Yang Qi had just finished bleeding the large Big Vermilion Snapper in his hand and, hearing the sound, stepped forward to look. It really was a Large Yellow Croaker! It weighed about four jin.

Yang Qi quickly went to help, carefully removing the fish and holding it with both hands as he placed it into the live fish tank.

"Mother Yang's luck is indeed off the charts; this fish is worth almost 40,000 yuan!"

"What? How can it be so expensive?! Is money that easy to make in the ocean?"

Yang Dad and Mother Yang said in disbelief.

"Fish in the ocean are definitely more valuable than freshwater fish, especially some rare and precious species. It's just that most people can't find such schools of fish."

Yang Qi explained.

"That's right! Uncle and Auntie, inshore fishery resources are scarce now. Many fishermen, like my dad, can't find schools of fish and can't make money, so they've changed professions."

Bai Xue also explained,

"My dad has said that Yang Qi's ability to find fish schools is unheard of. He basically fills the hold every time."

Yang Dad and Mother Yang now understood that it was their son who had the talent.

Any parents are very happy to hear others praise their son. The two of them were, of course, no exception.

"Xiao Xue, prepare the boxes, crushed ice, and black cloth in advance."

"If you catch another Large Yellow Croaker that isn't very lively or has swallowed the hook too deeply, immediately wrap it in black cloth and cover it with crushed ice."

After instructing Bai Xue, Yang Qi went back to continue his fishing.
