Chapter 39 Another Good Start
The fishing spot that Tong Yuanhang found was indeed not far from the Yuewan County Pier, but rather close to the tidal flat near Qinghe Village. From a distance, Zhang Ze could see the reef area where he placed the shrimp pots.
But all his attention at the moment was on the coral reef looming under the water.
Because in later generations, he never discovered any corals near his hometown. Even if there was only a small patch, it was not as gorgeous as the corals in the South China Sea.
When he came here just now, Zhang Ze saw with his own eyes the junction of the yellow sea water and the green sea water.
The water quality here is naturally much clearer than that of the Yellow Sea, and the probability of groupers appearing on coral reefs is greater than in the reef area.
But before fishing, Zhang Ze personally rowed to the reef area, pulled up the shrimp pot and poured out three blue lobsters in Tong Yuanhang's puzzled eyes.
When he saw the lobster, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he watched Zhang Ze stuff the fish and meat stones back into the shrimp pot, and put the shrimp pot back into the puddle.
He really didn't know this way of catching lobsters, but he could understand the appearance of the shrimp pots at a glance, so he decided to try to build a few shrimp pots himself in the next few days.
After finishing it, Zhang Ze rowed back to the original fishing spot.
Tong Yuanhang lowered the anchor: "I set a net in the deep water area next to it before, and I did catch more groupers. However, there were too few other fish and there were no schools of fish, so I didn't come back later."

"Then it looks like today's harvest will be pretty good!" Zhang Ze took out his fishing rod, assembled it first, and then put on his usual fishing line.
He Weiping's previous fishing line was fine for fishing small fish in the river, but not suitable for fishing sea fish.
Tong Yuanhang opened a backpack, and a strong stench suddenly came out of it.
Then pick up the contents and scatter them outside, making a nest first.
After fishing with Zhang Ze last time, he knew that these things that were usually used to feed chickens and ducks also had other uses, so when he made an appointment to go fishing this time, he specifically said that he would bring the bait.
After making a nest, Tong Yuanhang also began to tie the fishing line to the side of the boat.
Zhang Ze arranged the fishing line, tied a small stone and a fishhook, hung a small squid and started fishing.
It is only in this era that we are so luxurious. Using small cuttlefish or small squid to catch grouper is really effective, just like using loach to catch rockfish.
In later generations, cheap shrimps or small Pipi shrimps were generally used to hook grouper, and the cost was lower than that of small squid and the like.
Thinking of the hook arrangement, Zhang Ze felt that it was time to discuss the hook arrangement issue with Tong Yuanhang.
Fishing with row hooks is naturally more efficient, and the probability of catching big fish is much higher. The only problem is that it requires a lot of fishing lines and hooks.
"Ahang, do you have a lot of fishing lines and hooks at home? Are these things easy to buy?"
"What's wrong, you still want fishing line and fishhook?"
"Well, if you give me fish today, the next time will be five days later. We have to find a way to increase the catch and make more money. Apart from other things, I have to give you a bride price when I marry your sister. If I earn more, this gift will be given to me.
There are not too many, and your family will also be famous in the village by then, right?"
Hearing this, Tong Yuanhang said angrily: "Fuck you, you haven't even written your horoscope yet, why are you dragging me on my sister again!"
Zhang Ze chuckled: "Why haven't you said anything yet? Didn't your family ask someone to go to my village to ask about my situation?"
Tong Yuanhang was stunned: "You know everything?"
Zhang Ze wanted to laugh when he thought about the situation at that time: "Of course, your relative happened to meet my mother and asked her about the situation of Er Gouzi and me."
"This..." Tong Yuanhang covered his face in embarrassment. He really didn't expect such a coincidence, "No wonder my relative keeps saying good things about you when he comes back. It turns out he met your aunt!"
"I don't know what your relatives said. My mother told the truth. I don't have a father. She didn't hide the details of the family. She told them all. My mother also asked your relatives to continue to go to the village to inquire, but your relatives didn't
Go."
Regarding the fact that the Tong family asked relatives to meet his mother, Zhang Ze would definitely not hide it. Otherwise, if the relatives recognize him when they meet in the future, it may cause misunderstandings in the Tong family.
Of course, even if Zhang Ze doesn't say it, as long as he can continue to make money to support the family, treat his wife well and let her live a good life, then this misunderstanding will naturally be nothing.
Now that it was brought up, he just took advantage of the situation and said it.
Tong Yuanhang didn't expect that there were such things, and he suddenly felt that his aunt was unreliable.
At the same time, he feels a little complicated now. He didn't expect that the friend he met by chance might become his brother-in-law.
He knows that he can make money now mainly because of his sister.
However, he did have a very good impression of Zhang Ze, and felt that his sister would not have a hard time marrying him, so he asked: "Since you care about my sister so much, when will you find someone to go to my house for matchmaking?"
"The matchmaker will go there today. If everything goes well, I will go to your house tomorrow!"
"You...do things so fast!"
Tong Yuanhang didn't know what to say, he was still dumbfounded.
"Both each other, your movements are not slow either!" Zhang Ze joked and the fishing rod in his hand suddenly tightened, followed by a strong force, and he hit the fish.
Tong Yuanhang knew what he was talking about, but when he saw that he had caught a fish, he didn't bother him. Instead, he stared at his fishing rod with curiosity, wanting to see if it was easy to use.
But after watching it for a while, he felt that fishing with a fishing rod was too slow, so it was better to just grab the fishing line and pull the fish back.
Of course, this is just what he thought.
In fact, the fishing rod can help relieve the force. Catching a slightly larger fish is easier than pulling it directly, and it will not hurt your hands.
Zhang Ze felt that the fish this time was quite big, so he directly held the fishing rod in his arms and pulled it back.
The fishing rod suddenly bent into a crescent shape, and although it creaked, it was surprisingly firm.
The fishing line was taut and swaying slightly from side to side, but the fish in the water still couldn't bear the force, and appeared on the surface of the sea after a while.
"Okay, the first one is grouper. This grouper weighs at least ten pounds." After seeing that there was no movement on his side, Tong Yuanhang felt extremely envious.
"It's a pity that it's a blue grouper. It would be great if it was a sea red grouper!" Zhang Ze still had the energy to reply. Obviously, it was not difficult to catch this ten-pound grouper.
"What you think is beautiful!" Tong Yuanhang rolled his eyes speechlessly. He, a person who has been at sea all year round, has never seen such a big sea red spot, and he doesn't think so.
As he kept dragging the fish, the green spots on the water became weaker and weaker. Zhang Ze felt that it was time. Just as he was about to use his strength to pull the fish over, the boat suddenly swayed.
I thought something had happened, but it turned out that Tong Yuanhang also caught a fish. He was so excited that he got up and pulled the fishing line, causing the hull to shake.
However, this also gave Zhang Ze a chance. He immediately used his strength to pull the fish to the side of the boat, immediately reached out to grab the fish and put it into the space.
The next moment, the fish appeared on the deck again. He pretended to grab the retrieved fishhook, as if he had just taken it out of the fish's mouth.
At this time, Tong Yuanhang heard the sound of the fish tail slapping the hull, and subconsciously looked back. When he saw that the fish were already on the deck, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Hey, you move very fast.
All the fish have been caught."
