My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 216 adds one more clause: Let's keep each other company.

"I never expected that this small reservoir could support two such big guys." Yu Muzhou's eyes lit up as he looked at the gradually quieting reservoir in the distance.

"Why don't we get this one too?" Zhou Miao was also considering it.

Yu Muzhou will definitely pay him a fair share for that bluefish; he'll most likely buy it at the normal market price.

After all, he caught the fish. Although Yu Muzhou took over the fishing service for a while, it was just to give customers a sense of participation. In reality, the fish still belonged to him.

If I catch this one myself, I might make 100,000 yuan today.

As a large ornamental fish, the price of grass carp remains high.

For such a large size, selling one for 50,000 is a normal market price.

Without hesitation, Yu Muzhou made his decision: "We must get one. Good things come in pairs, so the tank won't look empty if we keep two together. Even if we lose one here, I'll probably get a bigger one from somewhere else later."

"Okay, but it's already noon, let's eat first and fill our stomachs before fishing, since it's physically demanding."

"Haha, let's eat first then."

Since I wanted to continue fishing, I didn't buy any beer.

Eating barbecue and drinking beverages can be just as enjoyable.

The scenery around the reservoir is particularly nice, and the breeze is refreshing.

After finishing our meal and tidying up, it was already 2 PM.

While eating, Yu Muzhou had already contacted the driver from earlier and asked them to prepare another large bucket to hold the fish, and then wait for his call.

An hour earlier, Zhou Miao had taken a plastic basket, filled it with dozens of kilograms of snails, and scattered them out.

Prepare the bait in advance, and you can start fishing once the bait is ready.

At this moment, the big bluefish in the water was very depressed.

As soon as it woke up today, it smelled food.

Just as he was about to call his wife to have dinner together, he searched around but couldn't find it, which made the big bluefish very annoyed.

The two fish were inseparable, and the big bluefish had no interest in foraging for food until it found a mate.

However, it was unaware that its wife, who had been eating alone today, had been lured away by humans.

Therefore, the bighead carp swam back and forth in the reservoir, circling around and around, but still couldn't find its mate.

This made it angry and panicked.

However, the long swim also left the bighead carp very hungry.

If it doesn't eat soon, it feels like it's about to collapse.

Left with no other option, it went to the food area it had already discovered and began sucking up snails.

Every time it opens its mouth, several snails are sucked in.

Just like humans cracking sunflower seeds, they use their pharyngeal teeth to break the shell, swallow the snail meat, and spit out all the broken shell pieces.

It eats very quickly, but given its weight, a snail weighing several tens of kilograms doesn't yield much meat after removing its shell.

After finishing most of the snails, it was still hungry, though a little better than before.

This amount of food won't fill them up, but it will stave off hunger and allow the big bluefish to stay active for a while longer.

It originally wanted to continue searching for its wife, but a splash on the water startled it.

When it turned its head, it discovered even more food: a freshwater clam whose shell had already been removed.

Compared to snails, river clams are its true love, just like the difference between humans eating sunflower seeds and eating tomahawk steaks.

The big bluefish instantly forgot about his wife and, without thinking, gulped it down.

It had never eaten such a large clam before, even though it was so big.

The big bluefish felt an unprecedented happiness as it swallowed the clam whole.

But this happiness came and went quickly. When it felt a sharp pain in its mouth, it realized it had fallen into a trap.

Suddenly, the big bluefish realized why it hadn't been able to find a wife for so long—it had fallen into a trap!

On the shore, Zhou Miao, who had been watching the water, noticed that the float suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the fishing rod was dragged along.

He reacted very quickly and immediately picked up the pole.

This time, the force transmitted from the bottom of the water almost made him think he was fishing for a giant swordfish on a boat.

That's intense?

I feel like this fish is in a completely different league compared to the previous one.

Seeing that Zhou Miao had already caught a fish, Yu Muzhou, who was standing nearby, could only reel in his rod in frustration.

Even though he knew that Zhou Miao had a higher chance of catching the fish, he couldn't help but hope that he would be the first to catch the fish this time.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Muzhou took out his phone and sent a message to the driver, telling them to come over now.

This time the fish were bigger, and the fishing time was longer.

By the time Zhou Miao had exhausted most of the fish's energy and handed the fishing rod to Yu Muzhou, the truck had already arrived.

Just like in the morning, the driver and his friend pumped water first, then pushed the crane and waited on the side.

The men looked at Yu Muzhou with admiration. Catching two big fish in one reservoir in a row, this wealthy fisherman is making some moves!

Yu Muzhou, who inadvertently noticed their gazes, suddenly felt that Zhou Miao's arrangement was just right, giving him every opportunity to show his face.

He truly deserves to be called my little brother; he's so sensible.

Now his hands weren't sore anymore, and his kidneys weren't tired. With a burst of strength, he pulled the big bluefish to the surface of the water like a bull.

The moment the fish appeared, a commotion erupted around them.

"Holy crap, that's a huge fish!"

"This one is even bigger than the one from this morning! That's incredible!"

In fact, the giant bluefish was already at its last gasp in Zhou Miao's hands.

Therefore, Yu Muzhou was able to pull the fish to the surface without much effort.

"Quick, quick, bring the car over here, hoist the fish up and put them in the bucket. Be careful when tying the rope, don't let the fish escape!"

Before the fish were even brought ashore, the driver had already taken the initiative to get things moving.

But Zhou Miao didn't ask any of them to help with tying the fish; instead, he took the rope himself and tied the fish's tail.

After all, I'm not a seasoned angler and don't understand fish habits. If I scare the fish away, it will be troublesome.

Even he wasn't confident he could lure fish onto the hook again in a short time.

Once he got used to the process, Yu Muzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief after the fish was successfully placed into the large bucket.

"Ah Miao, let's go together! By the way, do you want to open all these clams and get the pearls? We can put the snails over here; they'll be good food for the fish here."

Yu Muzhou wasn't worried about the abundance of snails here. Since there were two such large grass carp, there would naturally be plenty of other small grass carp as well, and the snails probably wouldn't be enough to eat.

Zhou Miao caught fish after opening just a few clams today, and he certainly wouldn't waste the remaining fish.

So he took a knife and quickly and skillfully opened all the clams, then took out all the well-shaped pearls.

In the end, a basket of river mussels yielded only six pearls, which were considered quite good.

Looking at the pearls of varying sizes in his hand, Zhou Miao suddenly realized that only the two largest and roundest ones could be used to make a bracelet, and only these two were roughly the same size.

"Well, all that work for nothing." Zhou Miao said speechlessly as he poured all the clam meat back into the water.

Yu Muzhou, who was smoking nearby, almost burst out laughing when he saw the pearl in his hand.

There's only this much usable stuff in the basket; it's really a pity.

"Having two pearls of such good quality is already quite good. If you get some gold, you can make two gold and pearl bracelets for your two girlfriends."

"That's the only way!"

"Let's go to my house first, and then we can try my chef's cooking tonight."

"Sure, I've been wanting to try it for ages."
