93: Bigeye tuna

"Yes, Dad, this Tuna is called Bigeye Tuna, or also Bigeye Tuna.

Because its fat content is higher than Yellowfin Tuna, and it's also rarer.

Therefore, its price is also higher than Yellowfin Tuna," Yang Qi introduced.

"I've never caught a Bigeye Tuna before. Should we keep it for ourselves to eat?"

"What are you eating? A Tuna over a hundred jin, and you're planning to keep it for yourself? Why don't you just fly to the sky!"

Yang Dad laughed and scolded his son while bleeding and de-acidifying the Bigeye Tuna.

Yang Qi looked over the sea area and could no longer see any Tuna schools.

The father and son smoked and joked, waiting for the Tuna to finish bleeding before putting it into the freezer.

Yang Qi walked over to Mother Yang and Bai Xue, seeing several fish, mostly already bled, in the fish basket.

Any fish that could be kept alive, they immediately put into the live fish tank.

"Mother Yang, Bai Xue, why don't you two rest for a bit?"

Just then, Mother Yang scooped up a four to five jin Grouper.

She skillfully deflated it, preparing to put it into the live fish tank.

"I'm not tired, Bai Xue can go rest!" Mother Yang seemed a bit reluctant to stop.

"Alright! Then I'll take these fish to the freezer first."

By this time, it was completely dark, and the entire ocean was pitch black.

Besides the stars in the sky and the lights of setting sail.

After Yang Qi had taken all the fish from the deck to the freezer and returned, he saw the fish schools in the sea slowly gathering again.

So he called Yang Dad to cast his rod again.

Soon, he got a bite.

From the strength transmitted through the rod, Yang Qi knew this fish wasn't very big, with a red body and a long caudal fin.

Upon closer inspection, wasn't this a Redtail Bird?

Yang Qi had caught one when he went to Nan You Fishing Grounds last time and knew that Redtail Bird was very difficult to keep alive.

So he reeled in the fishing reel in one go, pulling the fish out of the water in five minutes.

As a red glow surfaced from the sea, this red, under the illumination of setting sail's lights, was like blood.

Vibrant, it was a vibrant, bright red.

It gave people the illusion that it wasn't a fish, but a man-made red object.

"Wow, what kind of fish is this? It's so beautiful! And its tail is so long!"

Yang Dad happened to see the Redtail Bird surfacing.

His exclamation attracted Bai Xue and the other's attention.

This red fellow floating on the surface of the sea, besides its exceptionally attractive body color, what was most striking was its long red caudal fin.

"This is a Longtail Snapper! Also called Redtail Bird.

It's known as the 'dream fish' of the ocean."

"It's a high-end fish, prized for its delicious, delicate, firm flesh with fat marbling.

It's a high-grade sashimi ingredient."

"The market price is three to four hundred per jin, and if you encounter a large one, over 5 jin, it's even sold by the piece.

A fish like this, a little over ten jin, could probably sell for 6,000 yuan."

"Ah! Is it that expensive?"

The old couple exclaimed again, once more updating their understanding of how truly expensive seafood could be.

"Keep going, keep going! Everyone cast your rods.

Maybe a school of Redtail Bird has arrived.

Let's catch more, and we can also taste what a fish worth four or five thousand yuan tastes like!"

Yang Qi bled the fish while calling everyone to cast their rods.

Because he knew there was a school of Longtail Snapper below.

Next, the four people with five rods entered 'stocking' mode, catching one after another, it was quite lively.

In Yang Qi's ability vision, the number of Redtail Bird schools was slowly decreasing at a visible rate.

Finally, a portion of the remaining fish school, realizing something was wrong, packed up and fled.

Yang Qi and his dad took the opportunity to make several trips, pulling all the bled Redtail Bird from the fish baskets into the freezer for storage.

He checked, there were over 30 of them, all over 5 jin, with the largest being fifteen or sixteen jin.

150,000 yuan in hand, absolutely solid!

Returning to the deck, Yang Qi said, "It's almost 11 o'clock, why don't everyone rest?"

He was worried his Yang Dad and Mother Yang were too tired.

"Rest? What rest? While there are fish tonight, let's fish a bit longer.

Besides, we all rested this afternoon.

We'll go to sleep when we can't hold on anymore!" Yang Dad said.

"You and Bai Xue, on the other hand, are young people.

You still have to sail back tomorrow, so get some rest earlier."

"Alright then! If you two feel tired, just rest earlier!

I'll go lie down in the cockpit."

"If the fish bite in the mid-upper layers isn't good, you can try bottom fishing.

With so much bait going down, I expect there will be quite a few bottom fish."

Yang Qi didn't force them.

He went to the cockpit himself, set a two-hour alarm, and fell asleep shortly after.

The remaining three people watched over the three electric reels, two set 5 meters off the bottom, and one fishing the mid-layer.

Don't ask how they knew it was 5 meters off the bottom.

When the line was released and the lead sinker hit the bottom, the fishing line would slacken.

Then, by pushing the electric reel's retrieve switch and reeling up 6 meters, accounting for about a meter of leader line, the hook and bait would be 5 meters off the bottom.

Actually, the electric reel also showed how many meters of line were out, not to mention the fish finder on the fishing boat would display the water depth and the type of seabed structure.

By the time Bai Xue also went back to sleep, only Yang Dad and Mother Yang were left on the deck.

At this point, Yang Dad brought up what Yang Qi had said that afternoon about wanting them to move in.

The two had discussed it for a long time but still found it difficult to decide.

In their hearts, of course, they hoped to be with their son so they could take care of his daily life.

They could even contribute to their son's future development.

On the other hand, it was difficult to give up their old home.

After all, they had lived there since childhood, even if it was a bit hard and tiring.

They had gotten used to it over so many years.

For young people like Yang Qi, home is wherever their parents are.

Since high school, he had left the village to study and work outside, so his feelings for his hometown were far less deep and sentimental than those of his parents' generation.

Only by going out could there be better development.

Anywhere the yellow earth doesn't bury people!

"Let's talk about it later! Let's not think too much about it for now!"

The two ultimately didn't come up with a clear conclusion.

Yang Qi woke up to the sound of his alarm.

He came to the deck and saw Yang Dad and Mother Yang still awake, chatting.

"Dad, Mom, you haven't slept yet?"

"No, after you two slept, we caught six or seven Groupers, and also Black Sea Bream and Sea Bass!" Mother Yang replied with a beaming smile.

"My Mother Yang is amazing!"

Yang Qi gave his Mother Yang a thumbs-up.

Since childhood, Yang Qi and his Mother Yang were talkative and loved to joke around.

Talking to his Yang Dad wasn't as casual.

"Son, your dad just mentioned that you want us to move here to live.

What are your thoughts?" Mother Yang wanted to hear her son's ideas.

"Dad, Mom, this is what I'm thinking: I'm definitely going to develop here in the future.

In that case, it'll just be you and Dad back home.

To put it bluntly, if you two get a headache or a fever, I'm too far away to take care of you."

"Before, there wasn't a better way to make money.

We could only laboriously farm those few acres of land.

Now, as you've seen these past two days, I can earn money much faster in the ocean."
