I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 274 Tomorrow’s Arrangement

Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Tomorrow’s Arrangement

Everyone sat around the table, chatting animatedly with comments flying back and forth.

The conversation revolved around Teacher Ye catching the Alligator Turtle and the gold bars today.

"Teacher Ye was so mighty, did you see that Alligator Turtle?"

"A more than fifty-pound Alligator Turtle, Teacher Ye simply pinched the fishing rod with two fingers and spun it out of the water, now that was domineering!"

"And when Teacher Ye caught the gold bars, he even mocked me, saying he caught the fish that would explode my fishing rod."

"To tell you the truth, I, old Liao, was really scared at that time. If Teacher Ye actually caught that fish, wouldn’t my face be completely lost?"

Old Liao slapped his hand sharply as he got carried away.

"Pop."

"And guess what?"

The lady boss, as if engrossed in a storytelling session, hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"That Ye Chen actually pulled up a case of gold bars worth 1.3 million!"

"Enough enough enough!" An embarrassed Ye Chen, who couldn’t stand it anymore, quickly waved his hand and then spoke, "I say Old Liao, stop blowing your own trumpet here. Have you forgotten our bet?"

Old Liao, who was previously spitting words excitedly, couldn’t help but pause upon hearing Ye Chen’s words.

And at this moment, the surrounding crowd remembered as well.

Indeed!

Previously at Golden Peak Mountain Pond, Ye Chen had made a bet with this old Liao.

It was about that Alligator Turtle.

Teacher Ye said if he could catch a fifty-pound giant, then Old Liao’s granddaughter, Little Liao, would have to spend a day shopping with him tomorrow.

Teacher Ye didn’t mention it, and these old men had almost forgotten about it.

Now that Teacher Ye brought it up, everyone started to rib him.

"That’s right, Old Liao, you lost the bet to Teacher Ye again!"

"True, we remember now, you were betting with Teacher Ye on whether you could catch a fifty-pound giant!"

"Exactly, exactly, Old Liao, you can’t deny it, everyone heard it then!"

Old Liao: "..."

For a moment, Old Liao became the target of everyone’s critique.

His old face turned red as he recalled the incident.

It wasn’t really the crowd’s fault for forgetting, after all, after catching the Alligator Turtle.

Teacher Ye caught the gold bars, and then a series of events unfolded.

So they had long pushed that incident to the back of their minds.

Now that Teacher Ye had brought it up, Old Liao was also reminded.

So he yelled out, "Oh my god!"

Seeing Old Liao with a red face, Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth and slowly asked, "Well?"

"This..."

Old Liao looked uncomfortably towards Liao Xuexue sitting beside Ye Chen.

"Xuexue, you..."

Liao Xuexue, seeing this, also felt particularly helpless.

Why did her grandfather love making bets with people?

Not just betting with others, but also always losing!

Truly an unfortunate gambler with an addiction!

"Xuexue, look, tomorrow is the weekend anyway, why don’t you accompany Teacher Ye for a day out?"

Old Liao stood next to Liao Xuexue with a hesitant and coy expression.

Seeing Old Liao’s demeanor, he looked as ridiculous as those shy young married women.

The surrounding old men, including Ye Chen, couldn’t help but be amused by Old Liao’s actions.

As for Liao Xuexue herself, she simply shook her head helplessly.

She glanced at Ye Chen and said, "Since my grandpa lost the bet to you, fine, I’ll go shopping with you tomorrow!"

"Check it out, check it out." Ye Chen smacked his lips and looked at Old Liao with a disdainful expression.

"You see, your granddaughter is much more sensible than you!"

Old Liao: "..."

Old Liao didn’t respond to Ye Chen’s teasing, unable to argue since he had indeed lost the bet to him.

However, Old Liao also silently vowed to himself.

No matter what, he would absolutely never bet with Ye Chen again!

This kiddo was unbeatable when it came to gambling. He was no match!

At this moment, the barbecue restaurant owner also ran out with a big steaming pot of Alligator Turtle.

"Alligator Turtle is ready!"

"Today I’ve made braised Alligator Turtle for you, and I’ve also prepared some Alligator Turtle meat for you to cook in hotpot!"

The owner was very attentive, offering them Alligator Turtle prepared in two ways.

Part of it was braised, while the firm meat was set aside for hotpot.

As the large pot of braised Alligator Turtle was placed on the table, a rich aroma wafted through the modest-sized barbecue restaurant.

Smelling the delicious scent, everyone eagerly rubbed their hands together and began to taste the dish with their chopsticks.

Ye Chen wasn’t thinking about Cui Ruogou’s matter anymore.

First things first—fill his stomach!

Besides, he was curious as to what Alligator Turtle tasted like.

He took a bite of the braised Alligator Turtle; the fatty parts melted in his mouth, while the lean meat was tender without being dry.

Together with the variety of vegetables and rich sauce in the pot, it was incredibly delicious.

The texture of Alligator Turtle meat was reminiscent of chicken, but it had an umami flavor that was richer than chicken.

This flavor was different from fish’s umami; the taste was truly unique.

Initially, Liao Xuexue was quite resistant to this odd food.

She only ate some of the side vegetables in the braised Alligator Turtle, like potatoes, carrots, and such.

But when Ye Chen picked up a succulent piece of Alligator Turtle meat for her,

At Ye Chen’s urging, Liao Xuexue tentatively took a small bite.

The moment the Alligator Turtle meat entered her mouth, she could feel a rich fragrance enveloping her palate.

This taste...

Well, it was actually quite delicious!

Thus, Liao Xuexue stopped having everyone else pick dishes for her, and she started to eat heartily on her own.

Fishing with Teacher Ye every day, the things she got to eat were truly outrageous!

But as outrageous as they seemed, they were indeed especially tasty!

"Yup, this Alligator Turtle meat is really good, but it falls a little short compared to crocodile meat!"

"Although both have ’alligator’ in their name, the taste is indeed quite different."

"For real, this can’t compare to the crocodile we had yesterday, but it’s still okay to eat!"

"I mean, how expensive is crocodile, and how much does Alligator Turtle cost? Make do with it!"

The old men sitting by the table were also thoroughly enjoying the Alligator Turtle, chatting happily.

But honestly, the taste of Alligator Turtle was indeed inferior to that of crocodile meat.

At this moment, Old Zhang wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and asked,

"Teacher Ye, are we going fishing tomorrow?"

Before Ye Chen could reply, Old Liao interjected, "Didn’t you hear that Teacher Ye is going shopping with my granddaughter tomorrow?"

"Fishing, fishing, that’s all you ever think about!"

Hearing this, Old Zhang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Well, I must say, Old Liao, this doesn’t sound like you."
