Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 226 Over 200 jin

With a snap, Tian Wenbin pulled hard, and the hook pierced through the tuna's mouth.

Seemingly startled by the pain, the tuna actually struggled a bit.

Unfortunately, it was already exhausted, and no matter how slightly it moved, it could not break free from the hook's restraint.

Instead, it startled Tian Wenbin.

"Damn, still not behaving himself."

Unable to resist, Tian Wenbin directly gave the other party a big slap.

Believe it or not, they actually became honest.

Seeing this, Tian Wenbin used all his strength to try and pull the fish up.

But Xiao Kai did call out to him.

"What's wrong?" Tian Wenbin asked, puzzled.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai's tired face showed a hint of helplessness. He said, "Brother Tian, ​​this fish weighs at least two hundred pounds. Are you sure you can pull it up by yourself?"

"Really?"

Tian Wenbin scratched his head, looked at Xiao Kai, and said, "Then what should we do? Together?"

Xiao Kai smiled confidently.

He had anticipated this situation, so he requested the addition of a folding crane when he initially ordered the ship.

The crane is located on the aft deck. Normally it looks like a stool, but if you lift the cover and press a button, it will unfold into a small crane.

Although this crane is not large, its lifting capacity is not small, a full ton.

It might not be enough to catch large bluefin tuna, but it's more than enough to catch this small guy weighing around 200 pounds.

After Xiao Kai's explanation, Tian Wenbin quickly understood and then exclaimed.

"Damn, why didn't you say you had a crane earlier?"

Under Xiao Kai's guidance, Tian Wenbin quickly opened the stool with the crane attached at the stern of the deck.

As soon as the button was pressed, a crane boom as thick as an arm extended out from inside.

"Hehe, this will make things much easier."

Seeing the crane unfold, Tian Wenbin smiled and finished speaking, then pulled the crane's telescopic arm to connect it to the hook.

By this time, it was already quite dark.

Under the deck lights, Xiao Kai lowered his fishing rod and controlled the crane to begin tightening.

Sizzle...

With the sound of the electric motor, the bigeye tuna, which was more than two meters long, was successfully caught and landed on the aft deck.

"Damn, this must weigh over 200 pounds."

Looking at the huge fish shadow that the crane had pulled up, Tian Wenbin swallowed hard and couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Kai laughed and said, "It should. The crane has a built-in weighing function; you can just take a look and you'll know."

"Oh, there's this feature too? Let me see."

The latter's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to take a look.

"Wow, there really is one! Let me see, wow, 138 kilograms, which is 276 jin."

Hearing Tian Wenbin's exclamation, Xiao Kai felt a great sense of accomplishment.

This tuna is definitely the biggest fish he has ever caught in his life.

Before this, only that super red octopus had barely broken 100.

But how could a red snapper be compared to a bigeye tuna?

Judging from its size alone, it's easy to tell that this tuna has a high fat content, and the price it can fetch is likely to be quite promising.

It was worth the hard work of waiting all day and the nearly two-hour struggle.

"Oh right, we also need to detoxify."

Suddenly, Xiao Kai thought of something and rushed into the cabin.

A short while later, he took a kitchen knife and began to deacidify the fish.

Tuna that hasn't undergone aging will fetch a significantly lower price, sometimes resulting in losses of more than double, so he dares not be careless at all.

With a few quick puffs, Xiao Kai created two large mouths in the tuna's tail and gills.

Instantly, two streams of blood flowed out rapidly.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai was relieved. It seemed that the fish was not completely dead, otherwise the blood would not be flowing so quickly.

Next, he began to remove the gills and internal organs to prevent any reactions during transportation that could affect the quality of the meat.

Of course, the internal organs are removed directly from the gills, preserving the fish's body as intact as possible.

He learned all of this through research, and it was related to the final price of the fish, so he remembered it very carefully.

After a series of actions, Xiao Kai found a water pipe and began to clean the tuna until the blood flowing from the fish's body had completely faded.

Then, he ripped open the largest through-type insulated fish tank on the aft deck.

At this point, there were already quite a few fish inside, but there was still enough space left to fit the tuna.

After the tuna was placed into the insulated compartment, Xiao Kai covered it with all the remaining ice before finally putting the lid down with peace of mind.

"call..."

After everything was over, Xiao Kai and Tian Wenbin finally had time to catch their breath.

"I'm so tired. Are we going to the oil well again today?"

Tian Wenbin sat down on the deck, leaning against the cabin wall, and asked weakly.

Hearing this, Xiao Kai smiled and said, "Of course we'll go. We're going back tomorrow, and we've already achieved our goal. Didn't you say your 'soul sauce' is perfect for squid? We'll just have a taste, we won't catch much, just a little bit. Then we'll get a good night's rest, have some breakfast tomorrow morning, and head back?"

"Alright, then you go and start the boat. I'll rest for a bit," Tian Wenbin said weakly.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Kai smiled.

He also felt very tired, but he was much better now than when he had been fighting the tuna for more than an hour.

This was entirely due to his body, which had been enhanced by a cheat system; in the past, he would have been no better than Tian Wenbin.

So, after resting for a little while, he decisively returned to the cabin, turned off the top flow machine, and started the fishing boat to head towards the No. 3 oil well.

Since the distance wasn't far, Xiao Kai arrived in just half an hour.

Upon arriving here, Xiao Kai was surprised to find that there were quite a few people here. Not counting his boat, he saw no less than ten fishing boats, and it was clear that everyone's purpose was to fish for squid.

However, what caught Xiao Kai's attention even more was the brightly lit oil well platform not far away.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the spectacular sight.

"Is this the beauty of industry?"

As flames spewed from the oil well, Xiao Kai's shock lingered.

Tian Wenbin, on the other hand, perhaps because he had been there many times and was already used to it, did not show too much surprise.

"Brother Xiao, you've arrived so quickly. Let's get started. I'll make the sauce, and you quickly turn on the fish-attracting light. We'll start eating as soon as we catch them."

Since it was almost dark when we caught the tuna during the day, by the time we actually caught and processed the fish, it was already past 9 p.m.

During this time, neither of them ate anything, and now it was almost ten o'clock, so they were very hungry.

If they hadn't come here to fish for squid, they wouldn't still be hungry.

Upon arriving at their destination, Tian Wenbin couldn't help but urge them on.

Xiao Kai immediately suppressed his emotions and began to prepare.

He turned on the fish-attracting light and tried to observe the underwater situation with his gold finger.
