Xiang Yang naturally agreed to Zhang Qicheng's request.
Zhang Qicheng was very excited when Xiang Yang agreed. He gestured with his hands and said, "I haven't seen such a big wild grouper in a long time."
As he said this, Zhang Qicheng opened his arms and wanted to hug the grouper.
Xiang Yang readily handed the grouper to Zhang Qicheng without hesitation, allowing Zhang Qicheng to feel the weight of the grouper.
Zhang Qicheng held the grouper for a while before letting it go. "Brother Xiang, you are so lucky. I haven't even started yet and you have already performed a hat trick."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Then are we still going to fight?"
"Of course we have to compete. There are a lot of groupers in this sea area. Wait, it will be my turn to catch a big fish soon." Zhang Qicheng said loudly.
Xiang Yang smiled again, "Okay, let's continue."
The result of the following fight was naturally self-evident. Xiang Yang kept casting the hook and reeling in the line, casting the hook and reeling in the line. After a short while, he caught more than ten big fish.
On the other hand, Zhang Qicheng was like Jiang Taigong fishing. For a long time, his night light did not move on the water surface.
Zhang Qicheng finally gave in and said, "No more competition, no more competition, I admit defeat."
Xiang Yang then smiled and put away the fishing rod. "We were lucky today. We caught more than ten groupers, and they were all very big. There were two that weighed ten kilograms, and most of the rest were four or five kilograms."
Zhang Qicheng rolled his eyes. He was very depressed. "Don't blame us. You are lucky. I am so unlucky today."
He Mingde was also amazed, "Xiaoyang, your luck today is too good, isn't it? You can catch as much as other fishermen in a week by fishing with a fishing rod in one night."
Zhang Qicheng looked at the sea again suspiciously, "I still don't believe you caught these fish by your own skill."
Xiang Yang put away his fishing rod and said complacently, "If I didn't have any real skills, how could I dare to borrow money to buy such a big boat to go fishing?"
Xiang Yang actually showed off his skills deliberately in front of Zhang Qicheng. Xiang Yang guessed that it would not be long before there would be many large ships in Yanlong Village, and he also needed to use some appropriate means to consolidate his position.
As for whether the secret of the mysterious jade shell will be exposed
This is just fishing on the surface. Even if Xiang Yang himself told Zhang Qicheng and the others the truth, they would just think he was joking and would not believe it at all.
Zhang Qicheng was indeed astonished after hearing this, "Brother, you are really capable."
Xiang Yang smiled slightly, "There should be a large coral reef under this sea area. Where there are coral reefs, there are a lot of groupers. Brother Zhang, do you want to fish for a while?"
Zhang Qicheng shook his head. "Fishing requires a certain state of mind. My current state of mind is not suitable for fishing."
"Let's talk later." Zhang Qicheng's mouth curled up slightly, "I've already caught a lot today, why should I fish again?"
Xiang Yang asked in confusion: "You didn't catch any fish, so how can you say you have such a big catch?"
"What you caught is what I caught, isn't it?" Zhang Qicheng put on his windbreaker and waved his hand, saying, "Except for the red snapper, I'll take all the rest. Just name a price."
Xiang Yang naturally had no objection to this and directly completed the transaction with Zhang Qicheng at the market price.
Is the deal complete? Zhang Qicheng suddenly said slyly, "Brother Xiang? Boss He, let me tell you something."
"you say."
"Mr. Zhang, please speak."
Xiang Yang and He Mingde both looked at Zhang Qicheng.
Zhang Qicheng first handed He Mingde a cigarette, and then said, "It's not a big deal. Just someone asks about it when you go back. Can you say that I caught these fish?"
"Uh." He Mingde made a sound.
Xiang Yang blinked.
"Yes or no? Give me a word."
"Pfft." Xiang Yang laughed out loud, "Brother Zhang, you want me to help you lie about your military achievements."
"I'll treat you guys to dinner later."
"Okay." Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head. "We'll tell everyone later that you were so awesome, Brother Zhang. You caught all these fish."
"Isn't that an exaggeration?" Zhang Qicheng said with a red face.
"It's not an exaggeration actually." He Mingde said with a smile: "These fish were all caught by one person. He just changed the person."
Zhang Qicheng blinked his eyes and said, "You said the same thing in front of Li Chao."
Xiang Yang and He Mingde both laughed, thinking in their hearts that this might be Zhang Qicheng's real purpose. He probably wanted to catch a few fish before going out to sea to show off to Li Chao.
After putting away the fishing rod, Xiang Yang wanted He Mingde to drive the boat back.
But Zhang Qicheng didn't want to? He said that he had finally gone out to sea and wanted to have some fun again.
Xiang Yang agreed after a little hesitation. On the one hand, Zhang Qicheng is now Xiang Yang's partner, as well as Xiang Yang's client and important sales channel. On the other hand, the reason why Zhang Qicheng did not return to Longcheng with Li Chao was because he was invited and retained by Xiang Yang. Now Zhang Qicheng is a guest.
Being courteous to guests has always been the most basic etiquette when entertaining guests.
As for the trouble, sailing on the sea in a small boat is actually a different experience for Xiang Yang. He doesn't think it is a troublesome thing.
However, Xiang Yang still reminded Zhang Qicheng that he could not play for too long because the mouth of the grouper was cut by the hook when it was caught. Xiang Yang estimated that the grouper would not live for too long, and once it died, it would not be delicious. Xiang Yang wanted to enjoy a sumptuous steamed grouper seafood dinner tonight.
Zhang Qicheng naturally agreed and told Xiang Yang clearly that he was just busy with work and it was rare for him to go out to sea. Since he was going out to sea, he wanted to have a good time, even if it was just to enjoy the sea breeze. He would definitely return before the Eastern Star Spot turned belly up.
After hearing what Zhang Qicheng said, Xiang Yang suddenly had an idea, "Brother Zhang, have you ever dived into the sea?"
"I've dived in water, but never in the sea." Zhang Qicheng was like a curious baby at the moment, "What's the scenery like under the sea? Is it fun?"
"It's probably not easy to describe the scenery of the seabed in just a few words." Xiang Yang said with a smile, "The ocean is very large, and the scenery of each seabed is different. Some places have magnificent corals, some places have worms as beautiful as flowers that amaze me, and there are also ferocious marine predators. If you are really interested, Brother Zhang, why don't we go diving together?"
Zhang Qicheng's eyes lit up, "Can I go down too?"
"Most of the villagers in Yanlong Village can go down by themselves. Mr. Zhang, you have Xiaoyang and I to protect you, so why can't you go down? But we have to go back and get the diving equipment first." He Mingde said.
Zhang Qicheng was very excited, but he still had some concerns. "What if we encounter a shark while diving?"
