CH.45 Dream Fish

"Fifteen gold coins? Can a fish sell for so much money? Shafi's eyes widened instantly, and she was speechless. She clearly remembered that a Weasel King fur could sell for ten gold coins, and it was unbelievable that a fish was worth more than that.

"It's not expensive, as I said earlier, those people are not buying fish, it's a sweet dream." An Rui shrugged.

"A single fish can be sold for a dozen gold coins, and if we catch a few more, won't we make a fortune?"

"Yes, it's easy to catch four fish and get enough money for us."

"So what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and try to get to that fishing spot early." Shafi was already a little impatient, and her feet picked up.

An Rui shook his head with a smile and quickly followed Sha Fei, who had already pulled away some distance.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at their destination without incident.

It is located by the sea and is full of gray reefs and is quite rugged.

The reef stretches from the shore to the water, welcoming the waves of the waves. Above the reef, there is a small, inconspicuous puddle, only about two yards wide. The puddle is filled with seawater, and the water level is about the same as the sea in the distance. It seems that this inconspicuous puddle is connected to the seabed, and the seawater inside comes from the sea next to it.

There wasn't even half a figure in sight around, it was empty, except for two seagulls flying by with their wings fluttering above.

"This is the fishing spot of the Dream Fish, and there are often Dream Fish haunting." Anrui stood at the edge of the puddle, crouched down, and looked beneath the water. From here, it's pitch black below, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.

"Why is the dream fish here?" Shafi wondered.

"There may be a nest of the Dream Fish down here, or it may be a place for the Dream Fish to eat. As for what the dream fish likes to appear here, I don't know the way, and there is no need to know the way. An Rui took off the fishing rod and package he was carrying and placed it on the wet reef, "I just need to know how to catch the dream fish." ”

An Rui opened the package and took out all the fishing materials he had purchased, including small pots, blenders, spices, minced meat, cereals, and a special liquor.

Sha Fei helped beside her, propping up two folding chairs, giving one to An Rui and keeping one for herself.

According to the unique proportions, Anrui puts various ingredients into a small basin and stirs them into a paste with a blender. A meaty aroma wafted out of it, mixed with a faint fishy smell.

"It's called 'nest material', and it's used to attract fish, and it's usually made by mixing things that fish like to eat with spices. Putting 'nest material' into the water can attract fish with fragrance, making fishing much easier. To attract different fish, you need to prepare different 'nest materials'. The 'nest material' I am making now is specially designed to attract the Dream Fish, and the Dream Fish are particularly fond of it. An Rui introduced while stirring, stirring the so-called nest material more and more evenly.

Sha Fei sat on the side, looking sideways at the gradually forming nest material, her big eyes blinking, as if she didn't understand.

By the time the stirring is finished, the nest has taken on a soft fleshy pink color, and the aroma has become stronger.

An Rui scooped out the mixed nest material and threw it into the puddle. The nest melts as soon as it enters the water, and slowly sinks downward, muddying the sea. Holding a small basin, he walked around the puddle, putting in the nest material as he went, so that the nest material occupied every corner.

"After the nest material is dropped, it usually takes about 20 minutes to attract the dream fish. But there's always a chance in everything, so it's better to put the hook down early, and if we're lucky, we might catch the dream fish all at once. Anrui put down a small half of the nest material, picked up the fishing rod and bait, and threaded the bait on the sharp hook.

The bait he chose was a small worm that resembled an earthworm and was small in size.

Just like the nest material, this small bug is also the favorite of the dream fish, and it has a great attraction to the dream fish. If you change to other baits, you won't have this effect, and you may not be able to catch them for several months.

Shafi followed the example of Anrui and hooked a poor little worm on the hook.

The two sat facing each other, each occupying a puddle and placing a hook hook hooked on a small bug into the puddle.

"There is also a need to pay attention to the line, it is best to put the line to about three yards, it is not good if it is too deep, and it is not good if it is too shallow, because the dream fish likes to swim at this depth the most. I've cut the line to the right length, and now I just need to keep it all the way down. An Rui put down the fishing line in his hand little by little, and felt that it was almost over, before he stopped, "There is nothing to say about the rest, just wait for the dream fish to take the bait." ”

"Eun, I hope we can catch the dream fish soon." Shafi said expectantly.

"There's no rush to fishing, so let's wait slowly. The fish is afraid of sounds, and if there is nothing to do, the two of us had better talk less, lest we scare the fish away. ”

"It's good."

Next, the two began to fish silently, saying very little, for fear of alarming the dream fish that had reached the bottom of the water.

Time passed in silence, half an hour passed, an hour passed, two hours passed...... After so much time, the fishing rods of the two still did not move, and they couldn't catch even half of the dream fish.

These were all expected by An Rui, and he was not anxious because of this, and the expression on his face remained calm. Shafi is a woman, women have always been more patient than men, and she also does not show impatience, but still looks excited.

"Poof."

Suddenly, the fishing line in Shafei's hand moved, and a force came out of the bottom of the water, pulling the line and rod, and creating a ripple on the surface of the water.

"Fish on the hook!" Shafi was overjoyed, quickly stood up, and pulled the fishing rod in her hand hard. The flexible rod curves in a curved arc, the line is pulled out of the water, and a small palm-sized fish is caught on the hook at the end.

The little fish shook its head and wagged its tail, struggling hard, and its tail shook off a few droplets of water as bright as a silver star.

An Rui's heart jumped, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly looked at the small fish that Sha Fei caught. But when he saw Xiaoyu's appearance clearly, the joy on his face immediately changed to a wry smile.

The small fish has a slender body, a sharp mouth, and a silver-white body, judging from its appearance, it is not a dream fish at all, and it is worthless.

"How's that, what's going on, is this a dream fish?" Shafei grabbed the small fish that was jumping around, faced An Rui, and asked excitedly.

"It's not a dream fish, it's just an ordinary little fish, but don't be discouraged, it's a good start, it's better than not catching anything." An Rui smiled and pointed to the metal jar not far away, "Put it there." Catch a few more fish, and we'll have grilled fish at noon today. ”

Sophie pursed her lips and looked stupid, plucking the fish from the hook and placing it in a metal jar.

This jar is specially used to hold the catch, and it is filled with fresh seawater, which is equivalent to a fish tank, and it is stronger than a fish tank, and it is not afraid of breaking if it falls on the ground.

The two continued to fish, honestly sitting on folding chairs.

The sun moved slowly, all the way from the east to the top of the two men, heralding the onset of noon.

In the morning, the two caught three small fish, but they were not dream fish, just ordinary fish.

Anrui took the three small fish to the woods by the sea, made a fire, and cooked the three small fish as a side dish for lunch.

Eat and drink enough and continue to work.

Because too much time has passed, the previous nest material has dissipated, and Anrui had to put in a new nest material to ensure the fragrance in the water. This technique of putting nest material to attract fish is called "nesting", which is one of the most basic fishing techniques, and the difficulty is all in the formula. Some special nest recipes are a secret for anglers.

An Rui held the fishing rod in his hand and waited patiently, not moving at all, like an old monk in his meditation.

After a while, the fishing rod in An Rui's hand suddenly moved, sinking a little towards the fishery, and a force passed through the fishing line, obviously a fish was hooked.

Here it comes!

An Rui's eyes, which were originally a little lowered, suddenly bloomed with two points of brilliance, and he immediately increased the strength of his hand by three points, and lifted the fishing rod alive.

"Poof!"

The slightly gray water exploded into a sparkling splash, and a small, colorful fish was caught, biting the hook in its mouth and shaking its head and tail vigorously. The color of this little fish is very gorgeous, very pleasing to the eye, like a dream color.

"Dream Fish!" An Rui shouted in surprise, and immediately showed a smile that could not be concealed, reached out and grabbed the little dream fish in his hand. In fact, it was not so much that he caught a fish, but that he caught a sweet dream, or a dozen gold coins.

"Really? This is the Dream Fish? Sha Fei Huoran, who was on the other side, stood up, threw the fishing rod in his hand aside, and came to An Rui's side full of curiosity, looking down at the colorful fish.

"You can't go wrong, this is the dream fish." An Rui held the colorful fish and affirmed.

"Great, we've finally caught a dream fish."

"Well, the emperor has paid off, most of our time in the past half of the day has not been in vain, so we have caught a dream fish."

Both of them were very happy and watched the magical dream fish for a while. After seeing enough, Anrui put the dream fish in a metal can and put it away properly.

Next, the two continued to fish, but they stayed up until the night and failed to catch anything, and it seems that the chance of catching a dream fish is still very low.

As night fell, An Rui and Sha Fei returned to the hotel in Iron Cannon Harbor with today's harvest.

"Shafi, do you want to have a sweet dream?" An Rui picked up the metal can in his hand and asked with a smile.

"You don't want to eat the Dream Fish, do you?" Sha Fei heard the meaning of An Rui's words and asked in surprise.

"Well, that's exactly what I thought."

"You're too greedy, aren't you? This fish is so valuable, how can we eat it, it's better to sell it. ”

"I don't want to eat this fish because I'm greedy, I just think that people live a lifetime, and they should try more new things, so that life will be wonderful. We are indeed short of money, but not to the point where we are lacking. After eating this dream fish, we can catch it again in the future, and it is not that we will never be able to catch it again. I finally caught this kind of fish with special effects, but I was reluctant to eat any of them, so I sold them all, which was a little too petty. ”

"That's right...... Sha Fei nodded, and then smiled, "Anyway, I listen to you, for this dream fish, you can eat it if you want, and sell it if you want to." ”

"Since that's the case, then it's decided, I'll cook tonight and make you a pot of fish soup." An Rui patted his chest and took the big bag. The dream fish is so precious, he doesn't dare to let the chef of the hotel cook it, he must do it himself, so that it is safe.
