Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 113 Sea Lure Fishing
"Five thousand? That's too cheap!"

"It's very difficult to catch grouper in our South China Sea! Most of them are small tuna, weighing ten or twenty pounds."

"I'll offer ten thousand!"

"Ten thousand is nothing! Twenty thousand! I'll take it back and raise it..."

The female streamer didn't expect that after she announced her price, some professional anglers next to her would immediately make bids!

"Twenty thousand so far!" Xu Mu's eyes lit up. "Any other bids?"

"If there aren't any, then the deal is done!"

Xu Mu looked at the chubby middle-aged man who had spoken.

You can tell from the watch on his wrist that this guy is quite wealthy and definitely rich!

Although his watch wasn't a Patek Philippe, a Rolex isn't cheap either...

However, Xu Mu didn't recognize him.

Everyone fell silent, while the beautiful female anchor looked rather displeased, turned her head away angrily, and continued fishing.

"Deal!" Xu Mu looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "May I ask your surname, brother?"

"My surname is Zhong, just call me Lao Zhong!"

"Okay, Brother Zhong, 20,000 yuan."

"Deal!" Brother Zhong smiled and shook hands with Xu Mu, then took out 20,000 yuan in cash from his bag and handed it to Xu Mu. "I happen to have another 50,000 yuan in my bag. If you catch any more fish later, you can sell them to me!"

"Is Brother Zhong in the seafood business?"

"Sort of. I usually serve this kind of fish to some big clients... I also have a seafood farm in Sanya, which serves clients all over the country. For a grouper weighing 30 jin to appear in the South China Sea is considered very, very lucky... We haven't seen one in the last few years!"

"Moreover, the grouper in the South China Sea is a different color than the grouper in Southeast Asia..."

"... "

Xu Mu didn't understand, but she could tell that Brother Zhong knew a lot about seafood.

"This area is mostly tuna... If we don't catch any fish in an hour or two, we'll move to another spot. I'm a regular customer of this boat, and I'm here almost every day... But it's the off-season recently, so there are fewer fish around!"

"It turns out..."

Xu Mu nodded, just as he was about to end the conversation, when Ye Pingfan's fishing rod suddenly made a sound!
buzzing.

The automatic lure caught a fish immediately!
A few minutes later, a tuna weighing over ten kilograms appeared on the deck.

How much does one of these cost?

"A few hundred yuan! Not expensive!"

Brother Zhong said from the side, "This kind of fish is what people eat raw. If you want to eat it, you can process it now... and make raw fish slices."

"Brother Luo, can you help me handle this?"

"Okay!"

Luo Yang readily agreed.

"We happen to have soy sauce and wasabi."

Xu Mu said with a smile, "Then let's all share it! Everyone who sees it gets a share!"

As Ye Pingfan caught a fish, all the other lure anglers caught fish too!
Besides the electric lure that came with the boat, some people brought their own lure rods. These special lure rods for sea fishing are more fun to operate than the electric ones... However, Xu Mu and his group were just here for a short trip and weren't professional lure anglers, so they just played around with these electric lure rods.

It was past nine o'clock quickly, and the chances of catching fish had decreased significantly...

However, whether it was a newbie's luck or something else, a large school of fish suddenly appeared on the seabed.

Throughout the boat, fish were being caught one after another, the buzzing of electric rods and the gasping sounds of manual lure rods filling the air...

Xu Mu was also fishing diligently!

Seeing the catch come to the surface brings an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

By the time the fish dispersed, it was already 2 a.m. on the 7th!
Everyone was excited for a while, but now they're all feeling a bit sleepy.

"If you're tired, you can rest in your room. About two or three hours later, between four and six o'clock, there's sunrise, and you'll also see schools of fish..."

Luo Yang looked at Xu Mu and the others, who were exhausted from just drawing the stick.

He slumped on the chair next to the splint, looking tired.

"Okay!" Xu Mu nodded. "Mom and Dad, why don't you go upstairs and get some sleep?"

"With Coach Luo here watching over things, he'll call us if anything happens!"

Xu Mu saw that Ye Pingfan was getting restless, but Xu Ping was already dozing off.

When you're excited, dopamine is indeed released, but if you get too excited, the feeling of fatigue and exhaustion will immediately follow.

All I wanted to do was feel drowsy... Besides, they had played all day, and their energy and spirit were also greatly depleted.

Ye Pingfan and Xu Ping couldn't hold on any longer, so they took their room cards and went upstairs to rest.

Xu Mu looked at Luo Yang and said, "Brother Luo, thank you for keeping an eye on things for us!"

"Call me when you get the fish."

"I'm going upstairs to lie down for a bit..."

Xu Mu could stay up all night, but sitting on the deck was not as good as lying in bed... Besides, Xu Mu and his team had already broken even, and now every fish they caught was profitable.

Upon entering the room, Xu Mu was about to close the door when Ye Muling came running over and slipped into Xu Mu's room.

"what are you doing?"

Xu Mu stared wide-eyed as Ye Muling barged in, "This is a ship, it's not soundproof!"

"I just checked, it's soundproof! Because when we close the door, we can't hear the sound of the waves and the sea breeze outside."

Ye Muling revealed a sly smile and said, "Little brother, I'm now obsessed with this feeling!"

"No, I'm having withdrawal symptoms now."

"You must satisfy me!"

"... "

Xu Mu was dumbfounded!

Eyes widened!
Ugh……

In the end, Xu Mu could only sigh helplessly.

The two of them drifted off to sleep in a daze!
Xu Mu was woken up by Luo Yang's phone call after sleeping for more than an hour.

He glanced at Ye Muling in his arms.

Ye Muling was sleeping soundly in bed.

Xu Mu didn't disturb them and went out on her own to the deck.

Luo Yang had already lifted the fish up.

A tuna weighing over 80 pounds.

"This tuna is valuable! Worth tens of thousands of yuan!"

"Just now, someone weighed over 100 pounds, that's really unbelievable..."

Luo Yang looked at Xu Mu and pointed to the fish in the freezer.

Xu Mu opened the freezer, which was filled with ice blocks. Inside, a huge tuna lay quietly... while the fish weighing ten or twenty kilograms next to it looked like greenhorns in comparison to this giant fish, their size completely incomparable.

It's like a grandfather and his grandson.

Huge size differences!

Xu Mu rubbed his eyes and took a picture...

"Can you drag him out so I can take a picture with him?"

"Great! They just took a group photo!"

Luo Yang did not refuse.

The fish is already dead.

Everyone can take a photo with any fish on the same boat!

That's a good point.

Come out and have some fun!

The most important thing is to have fun. We caught a big fish, so let's all show off a bit.

It's all possible.

After taking the photo, Xu Mu continued fishing...

We didn't catch any fish until sunrise!
"Looks like there are no fish left!"

"It's alright, the return on investment is pretty good, we made money!" Luo Yang laughed heartily, "This round wasn't a loss!"

Do most of these people who go out to sea to fish break even?

"It's about 20/80! 20/80 loses! But most of them are Douyin creators, they're not making money from this. They might come out for a trip and earn tens of thousands of yuan just from one ad fee, so this kind of trip is purely for tourism... If they can get some fish, they can make a little money!"

Xu Mu nodded, then started smoking a cigarette.

After sunrise, the weather gradually became hot and dry.

Xu Mu didn't stay on the deck any longer, but went back to her room to sleep for a while.

I was asleep until after 11 o'clock when there was a knock on the door.

"The ship has docked; you can disembark now!"

Xu Mu scratched his messy hair and rubbed his eyes.

Although I was still a little sleepy, I was at least more energetic than if I had stayed up all night... Staying up all night meant that my mind was constantly tense and I would be exhausted, and then my eyes would sting when I saw the sunlight as soon as I got off the boat, but thankfully I managed to get some sleep.

Although I didn't sleep for very long, it felt different.

It will be very comfortable!

Moreover, Xu Mu and Ye Muling had a big fight at around 2 a.m.!
Although the battle did not last long, Xu Mu and Ye Muling had a long talk about two projects worth hundreds of millions.

Once ashore, Xu Mu sold all the fish.

I only took one to the hotel and asked the chef to cook it.

This is a tuna weighing over 30 pounds. After it was brought ashore, it was drained of acid and then immediately frozen.

Even when delivered to the hotel, everything was frozen.

These deep-sea fish have virtually no parasites, and even if they did, they were all frozen to death during last night's freezing process.

It can be handled directly on-site!

"I'm still a little sleepy!"

"Slept for seven or eight hours..."

Xu Ping sat down and sighed, "But I still had a lot of fun last night, I caught so many fish!"

"It's alright. I'll go back to the hotel to wash my face and lie down for a while. We'll go out to play around three or four o'clock!"

Xu Mu glanced at the sunlight outside the window. It was extremely hot, and he could feel the air being distorted even through the glass... This level of heat could almost kill a person!

No joke, if you were left outside in the scorching sun for two hours without any protective gear, you'd literally be roasted to death.

They had agreed not to have seafood for lunch! But they ended up catching fish while deep-sea fishing, so they ended up having seafood for lunch again.

Xu Mu was smart this time; she knew to take photos and videos.

Moreover, this tuna was so big that they prepared it in five different ways!
However, Xu Mu only paid two hundred yuan for processing... thirty yuan for sashimi, and also for making fish balls and sauerkraut fish... To be honest, when Xu Mu heard the chef say that he would use tuna to make sauerkraut fish, his mind suddenly went blank for a moment.

Can this thing be used to make tuna?

Do you have to be so exaggerated?
But it turns out, this chef is really good!
After lunch, Xu Mu drove back to the seaside hotel he had booked earlier!

It's near Yalong Bay, about a ten-minute drive away.

Back at the hotel, Xu Mu had just opened the door when Ye Muling sneaked in.

"???"

Xu Mu stared at Ye Muling, her eyes wide, "Sis, what do you want to do?"

"I want to do it!"

"??"

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
Xu Mu was completely numb.

"Quickly, let me in!"

I've discovered that I can only fall asleep while holding you!

"??"

Xu Mu glanced at Ye Muling, remained silent for a while... and could only silently give way.

After Ye Muling nimbly slipped in, Xu Mu closed the door.

Xu Mu glanced at Ye Muling, then walked into the bathroom and said, "I'm going to take a shower!"

"I'm with you!"

Ye Muling raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a sly smile!

"Sister, you're committing a crime!"

"I've already removed you from the household registration! We're strangers now! Having an independent household registration doesn't constitute a crime!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Muling pulled Xu Mu into the bathroom.

"You're so proactive!"

Don't you like it when I take the initiative?

"I want to take a bath! After being so tired for so long, a relaxing bath followed by a nap is the perfect way to enjoy a trip!"

Xu Mu disinfects and fills the bathtub with water.

These five-star hotels all come with bathtubs, and the bathtubs are quite large... big enough for two people to take a bath together!
After draining the water, Xu Mu put a pot of roses in Ye Muling's room.

"You go first!"

Xu Mu pointed to the bathtub and spoke.

"You...you...you...you turn around first!"

"Sis, weren't you so arrogant just now, wanting to do something? Why are you shy now?"

"That's different!" Ye Muling blushed. "I... I was still a virgin just two days ago!"

"Little brat, do you want a beating for being disobedient?"

"Who got hit here?" Xu Mu glanced at Ye Muling and said, "I'll spank your bottom a good beating later!"

"hurry up!!"

Ye Muling glared at Xu Mu, "Otherwise, I'll get angry!"

"Good good!"

Xu Mu had no choice but to turn her back.

Immediately behind her came the rustling sound of Ye Muling taking off her clothes.

Xu Mu's lips curled up slightly, "Sister, I'm turning around!"

"You dare!" Ye Muling panicked instantly.

She quickly threw her clothes aside, climbed into the bathtub, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked on warily!
"Okay...Okay!"

Xu Mu smiled, turned around, and looked at Ye Muling in the bathtub.

At this moment, Ye Muling was like a lamb to the slaughter, completely bald, like a lamb whose wool had been shaved off, her whole body pink and tender...

"Then close your eyes too, I'm going to take off my clothes too!"

"No, I want to see you take your clothes off!"

Xu Mu's eyes widened. "Damn it, you're cheating!"

"Can not be done."

Ye Muling raised her chin, revealing her snow-white chin and delicate collarbone, and snorted, "I'm your older sister! You have to listen to me!"

"Good good..."

Xu Mu didn't care at all. He took off his short-sleeved shirt, revealing his obvious eight-pack abs!

"Wow!"

Ye Muling looked at Xu Mu's abs and felt a surge of desire...

Xu Mu did not show any emotional fluctuations, after all, she had already desensitized back in Yangjiashan.

As I entered the bathtub, the warm water instantly enveloped my entire body.

Xu Mu groped and grabbed Ye Muling's small foot, gently pulling her along. With his other hand supporting Ye Muling's back, he easily pulled her into his arms.

Xu Mu loves adventure.

So, in the bathtub, Xu Mu explored everything about Ye Muling.

At 1:30 PM, Xu Mu finally lay down contentedly on the hotel bed and fell into a deep sleep...

Take a simple afternoon nap.

After Xu Mu fell into a deep sleep, Ye Muling leaned against Xu Mu's chest, her eyes darting around as if she were thinking of something...

"I heard from my colleagues before..."

Although Ye Muling had never experienced anything like this herself, her former colleagues at the company liked to talk about these kinds of things...

Don't assume that guys are lecherous; girls are actually even more so.

Ye Muling leaned back into Xu Mu's arms and started searching on her phone.

"I am such a good student who loves to learn!"

Ye Muling thought to herself...

Xu Mu felt very tired after that sleep.

I slept until 3:30 pm.

After sleeping for two hours, Xu Mu could clearly feel that she was much more energetic.

"Get up!"

"sister!"

"Weren't you going to wear a bikini out?"

"Let's go swimming, and take pictures on the beach!"

"it is good……"

Ye Muling opened her eyes groggily.

She doesn't even know how she fell asleep.

I felt groggy and drifted off to sleep...

The two tidied up quickly and left the hotel.

The beach is right across from the hotel... In the afternoon, there were quite a few people here, many of whom came to take pictures.

However, Xu Mu felt that the beach was just so-so.

Tianya Haijiao or Sanya Bay are good for taking photos... especially Tianya Haijiao.

There's a rock on the beach at Tianya Haijiao that's perfect for taking pictures... Of course, Yalong Bay, where they were yesterday, is also nice. Xu Mu checked it out yesterday, and the sand there is very fine. However, they chose to go sea fishing last night...

Sea fishing fulfilled Ye Pingfan's wish!

When you go out for fun, how can you not go sea fishing?
Not only did they earn back their fishing fee, but the four of them also made a small profit of over 10,000 yuan, even with tears in their eyes!

It feels so comfortable...

At least the plane ticket money is already taken care of!

Xu Mu and Ye Muling ultimately chose to go to the ends of the earth.

As for Ye Pingfan and Xu Mu, they couldn't be reached by phone... they were probably still sleeping.

They're getting old, and they stayed up half the night last night, so their bodies probably can't take it anymore... By the time they both wake up, it will probably be evening!

Xu Mu rented a Porsche 718 convertible sports car.

When traveling with just two people, it's obviously impossible to drive the Voyah minivan anymore; the 718 is the most suitable... At this time of day, the sun isn't too scorching anymore, and driving along the coastal road, we can enjoy the pleasant sea breeze!

"so good!"

Ye Muling sat in the convertible sports car, with the sunlight hanging obliquely in the sky in the distance.

The sunlight was no longer scorching, but it was still a pale yellow. By around six o'clock in the afternoon, it would be sunset...

We drove to the beach where Tianya Haijiao (End of the Earth) is located.

Xu Mu and Ye Muling parked the car.

"Hey sis, let's take a picture right next to the car!"

Xu Mu, holding a camera, gestured for Ye Muling to lean against the hood of the car and pose for a photo...

Ye Muling changed into a dress.

She was wearing a bikini underneath the skirt.

It's convenient because I can take it off anytime later...

Of course, Xu Mu thoughtfully prepared a sun-protective garment for her!

Arriving at the beach, the two walked barefoot on the sand...

Xu Mu took off his clothes and handed the camera to Ye Muling, "Sis, I'm going for a swim!"

"it is good!"

Ye Muling stood on the beach and took some photos of Xu Mu...

Xu Mu had never swum in the sea before, and this azure ocean inexplicably gave her the urge to swim...

After rushing into the sea, Xu Mu swam recklessly.

Ye Muling took photos of Xu Mu with her camera.

"Hello, beautiful... I'm a street photographer, can I take some photos for you?"

Just as Ye Muling was taking pictures of Xu Mu, a boy with a camera walked over with a smile, looked at Ye Muling and asked, "I think you're very pretty, you'd be perfect as a model!"

Ye Muling glanced at the boy; he had dyed blond hair and wasn't good-looking...

"No need!" Ye Muling shook her head coldly.

She doesn't like talking to strangers, let alone letting them take her picture.

Why would someone else take photos for you when you already have a photographer like Xu Mu?
Pointless.

"It'll only take a few minutes, very quickly..."

"And I'm a great photographer. This is my Douyin account, with about 200,000 followers!"

"If you become my model, I can tag you on Douyin and drive traffic to you!"

"No need, thank you..." Ye Muling thought she had been very polite, but the man still wouldn't let it go.

Her expression was unpleasant, and she was very unhappy. "Is 200,000 followers a lot?"

“Any one of our company’s accounts has at least 500,000 followers…”

Ye Muling took out her phone and opened her Douyin account. "So, you have a lot of followers?"

"Besides, I've already clearly rejected you! If you continue to harass me, I'll have no choice but to call the police!"

"..."

This blond guy never expected Ye Muling to be so stubborn and unyielding.

Upon hearing that the police were going to be called, he eventually left sheepishly...

The once invincible blond guy suffered a setback today and was extremely unhappy... In any case, he is a photography blogger, and any normal person would be tempted to become a model if they saw his popularity.

This way, you not only gain traffic, but you can also add these people on WeChat.

We can chat a bit...we can develop offline relationships, since some people are willing to give up their bodies for traffic.

This is quite normal in Sanya.

Especially when you're out having fun, how could you not be a little provocative?

If she weren't provocative, why would she wear a bikini and expose herself in public?

This has nothing to do with being conservative or not.

Subconsciously, these girls just love beauty... so they take some sexy bikini photos to post on social media to attract attention, otherwise... why post on social media at all?
Xu Mu swam for a while, then remembered that Ye Muling was still on the shore.

He immediately got up and went to the beach.

"Sis, let me take your picture... Do you want to go for a swim?"

"I can not swim!"

"I'll just take some photos on the shore..." Ye Muling handed the camera to Xu Mu.

Then, she took off her skirt, revealing her shapely figure.

She has a perfect S-shaped figure, with big breasts in all the right places.

Be meticulous where necessary.

Full and sexy.

"Then stand over there... hands up!"

"right……"

"Crack!"

Xu Mu has learned a lot about photography techniques on Douyin. Of course, even if you have good photography skills, the most important thing is to know how to edit photos.

A good photo editor is sure to get lots of posts on social media.

Xu Mu took many photos of Ye Muling. As the sky grew darker, she pointed to the distant sunset and said, "Sis, come over there, I'll take a couple of side views of the sunset for you!"

"it is good!"

The two of them took many photos on the beach.

Only then did he drive away from Tianya Haijiao.

On the way, Ye Muling received a call from Xu Ping.

"Lingling, where did you go with Xu Mu?"

"We're taking pictures outside! I called you guys, but you didn't answer, so I came out to play with Xiaomu!"

"oh oh……"

"Now you can come back for dinner!"

"Where should we eat tonight?" Ye Muling asked.

"I don't know... We'll see when you get back!"

"Your dad said he doesn't want to eat seafood anymore! He seems to have diarrhea. I just got some anti-diarrheal medicine from the hotel, and he's resting in the lobby now!"

"Okay...we're coming over now. I'll take you to the nearby night market street!"

Ye Muling hung up the phone.

"To be honest, traveling is quite tiring!"

Ye Muling put her phone down, looked at Xu Mu who was driving, and said softly, "Dad's health condition makes him prone to diarrhea after eating seafood!"

"It's normal, it's special forces on vacation... But I don't think there's any need to rush. You can stay a few more days and have some fun. There's no need to schedule it so tightly!"

Ye Muling shook her head. "It mainly takes time to recover. Even a day of rest won't make it fully recovered."

"How about we go back tomorrow?"

"Let Mom and Dad get a good rest then, let them go back to Ningcheng to settle their work matters, and then let them travel around the country!"

Ye Muling looked at Xu Mu and made a suggestion.

Xu Mu thought about it for a moment, then nodded, feeling that the suggestion was quite appropriate...

"can."

Xu Mu nodded, "Let's allocate one million to my parents first, so they can have a good time. We can talk about it later when they're tired of it... Also, let's get them visas so they can travel abroad!"

"But they don't speak English?" Ye Muling raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

"It's okay if you can't speak English. It's like going to an island nation; you just need to know how to say 'baka yaru'... Besides, Chinese people are all over the world now, so you don't necessarily have to learn English. There are many Chinese people there!"

"That's true..."

Ye Muling nodded.

Xu Mu drove back to the hotel and walked into the lobby, where he saw Ye Pingfan and his wife waiting.

"Dad, Mom!"

"Dad, Mom said you had an upset stomach? Are you feeling better now?"

"I'm feeling much better after taking some medicine!"

Ye Pingfan nodded, stuck his cigarette butt in the ashtray on the coffee table in the lobby, and said, "I didn't sleep well last night. Although sea fishing is great, it's quite draining. And I also had tuna sashimi for lunch... It tasted good, and I enjoyed it while eating it, but I couldn't handle it in the afternoon..."

"Let's have something light for dinner and then go for a stroll in the food street."

"Let's see if there's anything good to eat!"

The family of four left the hotel, and Xu Mu drove to a nearby food street.

The snack street here is called Sanya Dream Snack Street, and it is a relatively famous snack street in Sanya.

As a tourist city, food, drinks, and entertainment are indispensable... and many local residents set up street stalls just to earn money from tourists!

Of course, the prices at night food stalls are not very fair; to be honest, the markup is quite significant.

It's all about reaping profits from unsuspecting investors!

I don't expect you to come again next time...

Food stalls are mobile vendors, unlike seafood shops where you might get ripped off, but food stalls don't care; they can take advantage of whoever they can.

Let's talk about it after we've made the money...
