As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 254 - 217 Zhang Wei Oppa I have the nighttime

Chapter 254 -217: Zhang Wei Oppa, I have the nighttime type here.
Zhang Wei panicked when he saw how big Chu Mingcheng’s fish was!
For the sake of his chrysanthemum, he unleashed his years of honed hand speed and finally managed to reel in the fish just seconds before noon.
A giant Dog Tooth Gold Spearfish, nearly two meters long with a plump belly—you could tell at a glance it was hefty.
Chu Mingcheng, whose heart had just settled, clenched it again—the Dogtooth Gold Spear felt no lighter than his Grouper!
Zhang Wei was also anxious, and when he saw the number displayed on the crane, his legs went weak, and he let out a wail, “Is this some kind of mistake, why is it just three pounds lighter?”
Now, Jiang Luoluo and the others felt sympathetic, and Chu Mingcheng took pleasure in his misfortune.
“Ah, two hundred and forty pounds…no, wait, there’s another seven taels. It’s really too bad!”
“You know, you wouldn’t need to ‘leak oil’ normally, but who made you actually fish up an oil fish!” Chen Yang sighed, patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder, and said.
This was indeed tough to handle—a stark weight difference wouldn’t have left such a big gap in his heart, but it was just a little bit short.
Luckily, the fish was big enough for Zhang Wei to reclaim most of his costs, which was some consolation, so after a short period of discomfort, he perked up again.
“It’s just eating oil fish, come on, let’s deal with this oil fish first!”
After saying this, he had no idea there was something even more uncomfortable waiting for him.
“What a man!” Chu Mingcheng gave a thumbs up, and while helping him deal with the oil fish, he picked a Big Mouth Bream weighing over ten pounds from his box and said to Jiang Luoluo and the others, “I’m hungry after fishing for so long, let’s have some late-night snacks together later!”
“Sure, I’m quite hungry as well!” Jiang Luoluo happily agreed.
“Mingcheng oppa, can I join?” Han Baola asked.
“Of course, you’re definitely included!” Chu Mingcheng smiled warmly at her.
No matter if Han Baola and Zhang Wei might have some issues, considering his plan to start a club, he subconsciously considered whether the people around him were suitable to join his team.
Of course, he normally wouldn’t manage the team himself and would definitely leave it to Chen Yang, so it was very important that potential members got along well with them.
From what he’d seen over the past few days, both his own impressions and those from Jiang Luoluo’s side, the overall feeling about Han Baola was quite positive.
She was a straightforward girl without too many twists and turns.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng planned to invite Han Baola to join his team; having a female coach for mermaid courses at his future club would be more convenient.
Jiang Luoluo would certainly learn free diving systematically in the future, but she also had her underwater dance job and clearly wouldn’t have the energy to be a coach.
It was just uncertain whether Han Baola would be willing to join; that was something he needed Jiang Luoluo to inquire about.
Chu Mingcheng finished dealing with the Big Mouth Bream, then went to help Zhang Wei with the oil fish.
When the Spiny Snake Mackerel was cut open, the flesh was very white, just like Antarctic silver cod—it’s no wonder that some unscrupulous merchants used this fish flesh to masquerade as silver cod.
He felt the flesh; it did have a layer of oil and was quite soft and tender to the touch.
Zhang Wei cut out a big piece of fish flesh and gave it to the fellow angler who had asked for it earlier.
Then, a few other anglers came forward in silence and also asked for some fish flesh.
Now Zhang Wei was a bit puzzled, “Ah Cheng, isn’t this oil fish? Why are so many people asking me for fish flesh?”
“Take a closer look, these people seem to be overheated, maybe constipated,” Chu Mingcheng whispered in his ear.
“Eh, how can you tell?” Zhang Wei looked doubtfully at the people taking the flesh and couldn’t see any signs of overheating.
“Of course, I’m just guessing,” Chu Mingcheng spread his hands, “Other than causing ‘oil leaks’, there’s no other effect after eating this fish! Apart from constipation, I can’t think of any other reason for them to eat this meat.”
“This fish can cure constipation?”
“I don’t know if it cures constipation, but at least it has the effect of an enema!”
“Bloody enema!” Zhang Wei immediately felt overwhelmed at the thought of experiencing at least two days worth of enema; he started to worry.
“By the way, can you buy adult diapers on the boat?”
Chu Mingcheng stopped working on the fish, fell silent for a while, then called a crew member to inquire about adult diapers.
However, reality was cruel—there were none.
It made sense, of course. On a fishing boat, they only prepared the necessary items, and adult diapers were not among them.
“…” Zhang Wei also fell silent. Without that item, wouldn’t he end up leaving traces on his pants as he walked?
Han Baola seemed to notice his dilemma and offered her help thoughtfully, “Then Zhang Wei oppa, I have some nighttime ones. How about you make do with those?”
Zhang Wei’s mouth fell open, even more upset, eventually squeezing out six words, “Thanks a lot, I guess!”
If it weren’t for Han Baola speaking up, he would have thought to delay the bet until he got back to shore!
That way, at least he could buy adult diapers that fit him and could hide at home for a couple of days.
But now, he’d have to make do with the ill-fitting nighttime ones; he guessed he still needed to figure out how to wear them correctly…
“Hahaha…” Seeing Zhang Wei’s tearful face, Chu Mingcheng and the others couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
After processing the oil fish, the two of them continued to work on their respective Groupers and Dog Tooth Gold Spearfish.
Normally, grouper should just be put into the freezer to freeze, but it would still be more than twenty days before we returned from Nansha, and preserving it directly would definitely result in poor freshness by that time, which would seriously affect the value of the fish.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng specifically bled the grouper before gutting it.
The belly of the grouper is a delicacy, but as it is an internal organ, it is also the first to start rotting, so he needed to take it out and clean it for separate vacuum preservation.
“Wow, this stomach is kind of big!” Chu Mingcheng exclaimed as he cut off the stomach that was right up against the fish’s mouth, noticing it was bulging and seemed to contain quite a lot of stuff.
The fish belly is the fish’s stomach, and many fish bellies can yield quite a few treasures.
Seeing this, Chen Yang left Zhang Wei’s side and joined him.
“Let’s open it and see what’s inside. The stomach of Ah Wei’s fish was empty, nothing in it at all.”
Chu Mingcheng didn’t hesitate and started cutting open the fish belly with scissors.
As expected of a grouper’s belly, it was thick.
When the stomach was fully cut open, several fish immediately fell out, including two long-tailed shore breams, whose bodies were exceptionally well-preserved, evidently having been swallowed not long ago – altogether they weighed about ten pounds.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wei felt completely defeated, bearing in mind that his golden spearfish was only three pounds lighter than Chu Mingcheng’s grouper.
And from the belly of this grouper, fish weighing at least a dozen pounds had fallen.
“Life is truly fucked up. If only my golden spearfish had just eaten a small fish, not much, just a four-pound one would do, I damn well would have won!”
“There are no what-ifs in life, you’d better just accept your loss!” Chen Yang knew how frustrating it was for him to lose, and he patted his shoulder in consolation.
Chu Mingcheng also felt extremely lucky that the grouper he hooked was a glutton. Had it eaten one fish less, he might have lost.
Half an hour later, the kitchen was bustling.
Not only Chu Mingcheng and his friends gathered there for late-night snacks, but other anglers also gathered in threes and twos, sharing the fresh delicacies they had caught with their own friends.
There were two pots on Chu Mingcheng’s side, one of which was a frying pan currently being used to fry oil fish steaks.
The originally white oil fish steaks were fried to a golden color, looking absolutely appetizing.
The other was a hotpot, with bin diao fish sliced into thin pieces, just needed a brief swish in the pot to be edible and incredibly delicious.
Chu Mingcheng fried two large pieces of oil fish steak, weighing exactly a pound, sprinkling a bit of salt and pepper on them.
“Ah Wei, do you want it spicy?”
“Don’t, do not put any chili powder!” Zhang Wei immediately refused in horror.
Even a tiny bit of chili powder could cause him to accidentally add fuel to the fire.
“A little bit of chili powder won’t hurt, and it can even enhance the flavor of the fish.”
“No, no, I think it’s very good as it is!”
Zhang Wei immediately snatched the fried oil fish steak from Chu Mingcheng’s hand and, looking at the fragrant steak, swallowed his saliva and bit into it with his eyes closed.
The delicious taste of the fish meat instantly exploded in his mouth: “Why does such delicious meat have to spill oil!”
Seeing his way of eating, Chu Mingcheng also craved a taste, so he cut a small piece of oil fish and fried it in the pan.
Zhang Wei looked at him again in horror: “You’re going for more? I thought we agreed on one pound, right?”
“Relax, I’m just curious about the taste of this fish, just trying a bit,” Chu Mingcheng said with a chuckle.
“Uh… Ah Cheng, aren’t you afraid of leaking oil?”
Jiang Luoluo hesitated, seemingly pondering how many night-use ones she still had left.

Chen Yang and Han Baola also paused their eating, curiously watching him.
Chu Mingcheng knew they all misunderstood and explained: “Don’t worry, eating just a little bit of this oil fish won’t cause any oil leakage, it’s fine.”
“I see!” Jiang Luoluo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed her boyfriend didn’t have any strange quirks after all.
But when Zhang Wei heard that eating a small amount wouldn’t cause oil leakage, his eyes immediately lit up with a glimmer of hope, and he asked expectantly: “Ah Cheng, how much exactly is this little bit?”
Chu Mingcheng knew what he was thinking and immediately dashed his hopes: “Rest assured, the amount of one pound that you have will definitely make you leak without realizing it!”
“…” Zhang Wei’s face fell, knowing there was no escaping it. He stopped struggling and started eating the fish in big bites.
In no time, he had polished off the full pound of oil fish steak.
After drinking the last sip of his Coke, he even let out a satisfied burp.
Chu Mingcheng enjoyed the bin diao meat that Jiang Luoluo fed him while continuing to fry fish.
The small piece of oil fish was quickly fried, and he placed it on a plate. Then, under Zhang Wei’s watchful eye, he sampled a very small piece.
“Come on, you’re just trying that little bit, can you even taste anything? Trust me, eat more!”
“The fish tastes not bad, if it weren’t for the oil spill issue, it would probably be quite popular.”
Chu Mingcheng naturally wasn’t going to listen to Zhang Wei. Having tried one bite, he had no intention of eating any more, he was simply curious about the taste.
However, the others were still not interested, after all, there was more delicious Big Mouth Bream available.
