Chapter 322: Chapter 177: Jinxiu Lobster

After the Longdun Grouper reached shore, Lin Yang had immediately removed the fish hook. He had used a large hook designed for catching big fish, and as soon as the hook was removed, he placed the Big Grouper into the live water tank.

Checking the time, they decided not to continue fishing. They had caught quite a few good fish that morning, and before they knew it, it was already 1 p.m.

On the yacht opposite, Ah Jie and his group also began to pack up their fishing rods. After Lin Yang’s lengthy commotion, the fishing spot was essentially blown, and it definitely wouldn’t be easy to catch more fish any time soon.

Lin Yang rested for a while, then greeted his viewers in the live room and ended the stream.

As they were tidying up and preparing to make lunch, Boss Lei from another yacht called out warmly, "Hey, brother, why not come over and eat with us? We have a chef here, and all sorts of gear and ingredients, too."

Several bosses invited Lin Yang and his group to join them—to save them the trouble of cooking. It was also their way of showing gratitude to Lin Yang; without him, their day could have been fruitless.

Lin Yang thought about it and casually agreed. He had realized that all four bosses were straightforward people, without any twists and turns.

Ah Jie had a small boat on his yacht, which he used to ferry Lin Yang and the other two over.

On the big yacht, warmed by the breeze and bathed in sunshine, light, melodious music played.

Then, everyone began to arrange lunch, and Boss Lei immediately said, "Today is a joyous occasion. I’ll steam the Yellow croaker I just caught, and let everyone have a taste. Honestly, this is my first time eating such fresh Yellow croaker."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another boss chimed in, "Just one Yellow croaker isn’t enough! Steam mine too; the fresher the fish, the tastier it is. These fish are still breathing; cooking them now will be most delicious...."

As everyone talked, they all contributed their own ingredients. Lin Yang’s group had brought along a Big Grouper weighing about ten pounds, while Ah Jie’s yacht was stocked with plenty of ingredients like beef, large prawns, crabs, and even vegetables.

About half an hour later, everyone had prepared a table full of delicious dishes. To preserve the utmost natural taste of the seafood, steaming was the primary method of cooking, whether it was Sea Bass, Grouper, Yellow croaker, or even for the Groupers and Spring Fish—steaming was preferred, or they could also be used in soup.

Once the dishes were ready, everyone’s appetite was whetted by the sight of the juicy, tender fish spread out on the table.

Moreover, there wasn’t just fish; there was also liquor. The four bosses brought a bottle of Maotai for the midday meal at sea, as they had planned.

"Come, today we’ve had the fortune to gather at sea for fishing, and everyone had a great time, let’s all drink together!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and thus, all of today’s events, whether pleasant or unpleasant, were washed down with the wine, and even the bet between Lin Yang and Ah Jie was brushed aside as if it never happened.

Although Lin Yang had won, Ah Jie, after all, had provided an excellent fishing spot. Without him taking them to this spot, they might not have caught the Yellow croaker, and neither he nor Li Xiaopeng would have caught the Big Grouper.

After they had drunk, everyone began to dig in. The freshness of the just-caught seafood was undeniable; especially the two Yellow croakers—everyone had a similar, delighted expression upon tasting them.

Indulgent.

It was incredibly delicious, truly an unmatched delicacy from the sea, and it was no wonder the fish sold for such a high price.

The lunch lasted over an hour.

After finishing their meal, the four bosses needed to start heading back. It was already past 2 p.m., and getting back to the dock would take at least three or four hours.

Before parting, they conducted some business with Lin Yang and the others, buying all four Yellow croakers they had caught for over eighty thousand.

These freshest, pure wild Yellow croakers were truly rare to find, and the bosses, not lacking in funds, naturally wouldn’t miss out. This fish, whether eaten themselves or served to guests, would definitely be impressive.

After Ah Jie and the others left on their yacht, Lin Yang and his group also began heading to the next fishing spot.

....

About two hours later, they arrived at a new spot, which was specially noted by Master Chai to likely have many Pomfret.

However, as it was now close to evening, it wasn’t suitable for fishing.

Upon arriving at this spot, Lin Yang first checked the underwater environment in the vicinity. He found that this sea area was filled with many reefs and was not very deep, mostly around twenty to thirty meters.

Why was this part of the offshore area so shallow?

The reason naturally was that this sea area was near a small island. The small island was only about one or two kilometers away from this spot.

If Lin Yang and his group had brought a tent or similar equipment, they would have considered spending the night on the island to get a good night’s sleep.

After finding a spot with smaller waves, Lin Yang immediately dropped the yacht’s anchor into the water. There were plenty of scattered reefs below, which easily secured the anchor.
