Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 601 Departure to the Island

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. You naturally have to abide by other people's rules wherever you go.

Fu Wan, Bai Qianzhou and the other two had just put away their fishing licenses when a boat rental man came over to greet them.

Jack communicated with the man in a gibberish manner, while Bai Qianzhou translated it to Fu Wan in a low voice.

The two people were standing so close to each other that passersby thought they were a couple whispering.

"He said most of the boats here belong to him, and if we rent them for a long time, he can give us a discount."

Fu Wan raised her eyebrows. There were at least twenty ships docked here. She didn't realize that this uncle was actually a landlord.

"Ask him how much it costs to rent a ten-meter boat for six hours?"

She raised her hand to look at the watch. It was not yet 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be o'clock in six hours, which should be enough time for them to go fishing and back.

Bai Qianzhou immediately started communicating with the uncle. When the uncle first saw that Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou were not talking to each other, he thought they were Chinese who did not speak the same language.

"Wan, which ship do you like?"

Jack excitedly pulled Fu Wan to choose a boat, as she had the most experience at sea here.

He has been empty-handed for so long, today he must let Fu Wan help him avenge his previous defeat!

Fu Wan looked around and found that the boats here were not the wooden boats in Fujia Village, nor were they even iron boats.

Instead, it looks a bit like the speedboat from a few days ago. I guess it can go faster than the ones at home.

In order to cater to the needs of the public, the hull was sprayed in various colors. Fu Wan was instantly attracted by a white and red boat at first glance.

The length of the boat also met their needs, and just at this time, Bai Qianzhou also came over after negotiating the price.

"Well, what did the boss say?"

"He said if we drove the boats ourselves, it would cost $100 a day, and if we hired someone to drive them, it would cost $200 a day."

"Oh my god, why doesn't he just go and rob it?"

Fu Wan complained in a low voice, saying that everyone said that salaries in the United States were high, but this was too high. One hundred dollars, based on the current exchange rate, was equivalent to nearly three hundred yuan in Chinese currency.

Three hundred yuan may be the annual income of an average family.

Although Fu Wan and the others are rich, they don't spend it like this.

Jack, on the other hand, was about to take money out of his pocket out of habit when he heard that. Fu Wan grabbed his hand and turned to Bai Qianzhou and said, "Tell him we can drive the boat ourselves. It's $60 for half a day. Do you want to rent it?"

"If they don't rent it, we'll go ask somewhere else."

She originally wanted to cut the price in half, but she was not sure how the Americans would bargain.

However, it was already halfway through the day, there were still so many boats docked at the pier, and there weren't many people around. Fu Wan didn't believe that this uncle would miss the opportunity to make money.

Bai Qianzhou communicated with the uncle for a few more words. The uncle was very surprised. He probably didn't expect that someone would bargain for the price.

He shook his head instinctively, and Fu Wan also instinctively pulled Jack, motioning Bai Qianzhou to follow her.

She counted in her mind, and sure enough, before she had taken three steps, the uncle took two steps at a time and ran over to them, saying "OK" repeatedly.

Jack was shocked when he heard this. Oh my God, what was the money he had paid before?

There is such an operation!

Although the deal had been done, the landlord still muttered a few words under his breath.

The gist of it is that if today wasn't a weekday and not many people were renting boats here, he would definitely not rent the boat to Fu Wan at this price.

Of course, another reason was that Jack had rented a boat here several times before. This sucker charged a hundred dollars every time, and most of his salary in the past few months was spent on it.

After getting the key to the boat, the landlord promoted his fishing rod as usual. This fishing rod was also rented. It looked very gorgeous and cost twenty dollars for half a day.

Fu Wan naturally did not agree to this price. When they set out, they also brought several fishing rods.

Seeing that these people were unwilling to give a penny, and just as a few more tourists came later, the landlord simply shook his head and gave up and turned to cheat others.

"Wan, you're awesome."

Seeing the boss leave, Jack gave Fu Wan a thumbs up.

Fu Wan smiled complacently. Just kidding, how could she not bargain when the price was so obviously a rip-off?

However, no matter how proud she was, Fu Wan did not forget to check the things they brought.

The boat has been rented, but if the fishing rods and other things are not prepared, the landlord will not refund the money.

The reason they rented a boat was because they were going to a small island near this sea area later.

According to Jack, this island was also a deserted island before, and the locals gave it a nice name, called Catalina.

In addition to fishing rods, fishing also requires auxiliary tools. Fu Wan first checked the hand nets and harpoons they brought.

These harpoons were prepared by Fu Fengying's family. Since they often live by the sea, they sometimes try their luck at the beach.

Of course, the fish must meet local standards before it can be taken home.

In addition to the harpoon, there are also fishing rods and fish hooks. These are different from the bamboo fishing rods that Fu Wan often uses. Instead, they are somewhat similar to the lure fishing rods that are more popular in later generations.

These lure fishing rods were purchased by Jack in the last six months. After he got into fishing, this guy started spending money non-stop. He owns five or six fishing rods alone.

The fish hook was also very sharp, as was the fishing line. Fu Wan pulled it a little and found that it was indeed much more resilient than the one at home.

As for the bait, Jack used the same small fish and shrimps that Fu Wan had used before. He had just bought them on the roadside. Because he couldn't use live bait, these fish and shrimps were completely dead. Even if they were put in a small bucket, there was a fishy smell that went straight to his head.

"Okay, everything is ready, let's get on board!"

To be on the safe side, Fu Wan put on a mermaid costume before leaving for the beach. However, the mermaid costume had obvious curves, and the material of the mermaid costume was special, so she also put on an outer coat on the outside.

After the things were loaded onto the boat, Jack went to start the boat.

Fu Wan watched him drive the boat for a while and quickly learned how to drive the boat.

In fact, it was not difficult. It was similar to the boat at home. The rudder controlled the direction. They drove for less than half an hour and Fu Wan saw the small island that Jack mentioned.

The island looked larger than Bird's Nest Island and Coconut Island. Although it was not close, Fu Wan still saw many people on the beach.

It seems that even on weekdays, there are people who don't have to work like slaves.

As they got closer to the island, Fu Wan's boat slowed down a lot.

The closer you get to the beach, the clearer the scenery becomes. Even Fu Wan, who grew up by the sea, couldn't help but sigh that Jack was right.

This island is really beautiful, even the beach is a rare white sand beach.

Just looking at it makes people want to step on it barefoot!

There is also the sea water swaying slightly in the sun. From a distance, it looks like a large ball of blue-green jelly, which is very beautiful.
