Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!
Chapter 264 Qiongzhou Island 7
Xiaomeng was happily pulling the fish towards the boat when suddenly a gaping maw leaped up from the sea and snatched the rather large grouper into its mouth, startling everyone.
As soon as the fish sank, it tried to escape into the distance. But it still had another fish with a fishing line in its mouth, and Xiaomeng was almost pulled into the sea. Luckily, Xiaotang reacted quickly and held her down. The combined weight of the two of them managed to keep the fish afloat.
Two crew members rushed over to help grab the fishing rod, preventing them from being dragged into the sea along with it.
Xiaomeng exclaimed, "What the heck? Big fish eat little fish? Good heavens, who swallowed my grouper? And swallowed the hook too?"
Xiaomeng turned to the crew and asked, "Did you see what kind of fish it was?"
One of the crew members excitedly replied, "I see it! I see it! It's a tuna!"
Another crew member said, "It doesn't look like a bluefin tuna, it looks like a yellowfin tuna, and judging by its size, it must weigh at least 100 pounds."
"Wow, over a hundred pounds! That must be a tuna as big as a pig!" After Xiaomeng's fishing rod was taken from her, she squatted by the gunwale and watched the crew fight the tuna.
She felt completely helpless. Although she felt she was quite strong, she was no match for the 100-pound tuna.
As the crew reeled in the fish, they speculated, "It's probably because a school of squid came from the nearby waters, which then attracted many other fish, and that's how the tuna came in."
The two crew members worked hard to help Xiaomeng walk the fish, but the tuna was really greedy and refused to spit out the grouper in its mouth.
After battling the tuna for over half an hour, the two crew members finally managed to haul it aboard with a speargun.
This tuna is incredibly long, longer than DouDou, who is in kindergarten.
With such a big fish, today's sea fishing mission is a complete success. There's definitely enough meat for the whole boatload of people.
After everyone had taken photos with the fish, the ship's chef happily ran over to receive the prey, and together with another crew member, carried the tuna back to the kitchen.
It was only then that everyone realized the fishing commotion was quite loud, attracting the other people on the boat to come out and watch.
Knowing that a school of fish had appeared in the nearby sea, including a tuna this big, the owners got excited and started casting their fishing rods into the sea.
It was only then that Xiaomeng belatedly realized there were five or six extra guests on the boat. A conversation revealed that they were all business partners and friends of Attorney Lang, who had just flown in by helicopter.
The plane is still parked on the bow deck of the cruise ship.
Middle-aged men love fishing, so Xiaomeng simply left the yacht's aft deck for them.
He led his people to the side of the cruise ship.
The crew just said they've set up an inflatable water slide for them, so they can slide down from the side of the ship.
This long slide is really fun. The height of five or six meters is a bit too high for children, but it's just right for young people.
After sliding down from here, there is an inflatable platform on the sea surface where you can swim. It's very safe, and you don't have to worry about being targeted by wild animals like sharks while swimming in the wild.
Xiaomeng put on her buoyancy goggles and buried her head in the sea to watch the excitement.
The visibility in the sea was very high at noon, and she could see a lively scene beneath the surface of the sea at the stern of the boat.
A huge group of fish were gathered there, the big fish eating the small fish, the small fish eating the squid, and the tuna circling around, occasionally catching a big fish. No wonder she was able to catch a tuna earlier; her luck was off the charts.
After she finished looking, she asked Xiao Tang to go down and take a look. They both agreed that they were really lucky with their fishing today, as they had encountered such a large school of fish.
The main dish for lunch was, of course, the fresh, large fish that Xiaomeng had caught.
The chef sliced a large bowl of sashimi, piling it up to fill a small wooden boat, and everyone picked up their chopsticks. Xiaomeng only tried a small piece; she wasn't one to enjoy life and didn't like raw meat.
She ate several pieces of the pan-fried tuna belly that the chef made.
This stuff, once pan-fried, really does taste like beef. The crispy outer layer, with its caramelized aroma, releases a subtle crunch that melts in your mouth. The tender fish meat is delicate and smooth, so soft it seems to melt on your tongue. The texture is incredibly rich, and the mellow aroma of the fish oil adds a wonderfully unique flavor.
The chef's skills are excellent; the pan-fried fish fillets are perfectly salty and fragrant, with a lingering aftertaste that leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
Other seafood caught by other people during the meal was also carefully cooked and served by the chef, including grouper, pomfret, and squid. Since everyone had caught it themselves, they were in high spirits and had excellent appetites.
After a hearty meal, DouDou had already finished eating and rushed out. With the nanny following her, no one was worried.
Xiaomeng felt she had eaten too much and needed to take a walk to digest.
The four young people began their walk and tour on the ship.
As mentioned before, this ship is over 100 meters long and very tall, with at least four floors including the lower deck.
It contains many compartments.
Xiaomeng saw her brother-in-law leading a group of people up to the top floor, presumably to discuss something.
So they just lingered on it for a bit and then went down. Just as they settled on the second deck, Tang glanced down and noticed Dou Dou squatting on the waterfront platform, teasing the sea turtles. She quickly showed it to Xiao Meng.
That sea turtle is huge! It's much bigger than DouDou, who's squatting next to it.
Xiaomeng felt a little nervous, afraid that the sea turtle's forelimbs would flap and send little Doudou swimming into the sea.
She quickly called to the nanny next to Dou Dou, "Sister Wang, why are you letting Dou Dou get so close? Tell her to stay away from that thing."
Dou Dou wasn't afraid at all. She looked up and saw her aunt standing on the deck above her head, calling out to Xiao Meng, "Auntie, come quick! There's a big sea turtle here! These uncles said they'd help it remove the vines...?"
A sailor next to her explained, "Little girl, this is called a barnacle, a parasite that lives on sea turtles."
Xiaomeng climbed down the ladder next to her and found that the sea turtle was really docile, closing its eyes and not moving, letting people scratch and dig at it.
The crew member was chopping and slicing with a small dagger-like knife. Dou Dou imitated him, taking her small stainless steel shovel and rake and banging on the other side, looking quite diligent.
Because the barnacles were stuck so tightly, it took them a long time to clean the turtle's back. Xiaomeng thought that would be enough.
To everyone's surprise, the sailor flipped the sea turtle over and continued digging at it, explaining as he did so, "I don't know where this turtle got all these barnacles from; there are enough to cook a dish. Luckily, it can get help from people, otherwise, it would definitely be dragged to death by these barnacles."
Lately, sea turtles have been following us on our fishing trips. I don't know how they know we'll be cleaning barnacles.
Xiaomeng and the others also found it amazing, "The natural environment is much better now, right? Even the sea turtles know that humans can help."
"That's right. When our fishermen accidentally catch sea turtles in their nets, they have to throw them back into the sea. These guys know they won't be in any danger, so they become bolder."
After cleaning, the sailors turned the sea turtle around, and together they pushed it back into the sea. Then they watched as the turtle flipped over and swam away.
Checking the time, Xiaomeng quickly asked the nanny to take the child into the cabin for a nap.
……
During the rest period, the yacht lowers its anchor and various water recreation equipment, then heads to nearby islands.
When the sun wasn't so scorching in the afternoon, everyone went ashore to explore the island.
Children dig for treasure on the beach and build sandcastles. Assistants set up parasols and beach chairs on the beach.
Xiao Tang's colleague wanted to ride a bicycle on the island's ring road.
Xiao Tang told them to go by themselves, but he wasn't going. On such a hot day, he just wanted to lie under a parasol and enjoy a cold drink.
Xiaomeng thought so too, so the two of them simply sat down under the parasol and played cards with their assistant.
It's a rare opportunity to visit such a peaceful island, and these people just want to sit and play cards. What a waste!
Xiaoyu was speechless at the sight of them.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu came to terms with it and stopped worrying. She and Xiaowei then went cycling around the island together.
There are shared bikes on the island, and the rental prices are very reasonable. You can easily find one just by walking around on the street.
If you come during peak tourist season, you probably won't be able to enjoy the peace and quiet. Just take a quick snapshot with your phone, and you'll get great photos without worrying about capturing crowds everywhere.
They really made the right choice by going on this cruise trip; they owe it all to Xiao Tang's wealthy relatives.
