After seeing the eel, Tang Chen aimed his speargun at it from a distance.
Taking advantage of the eel's inattentiveness, he fired a shot.
The speargun drew an arc in the water.
This seven- or eight-pound eel was instantly locked in.
Tang Chen effortlessly and easily caught the eel.
As Tang Chen surfaced with the eel, Yang Mi had a look of astonishment on her face.
“It's a big eel!”
Tang Chen put the eel into a net bag and said to her, “We can have a feast tonight!”
“Ah? Is it an eel?”
Yang Mi blushed, her face filled with embarrassment, and she said, “I'm sorry, Captain, I didn't mean to…”
“It’s okay, we all have to thank you!”
Tang Chen looked at her and shrugged, “If it weren’t for you, we wouldn't have a chance to eat eel tonight!”
Speaking of eels, there aren't many in the waters of Madagascar.
On the other hand, Mauritius, not far away, has a lot of eels.
Moreover, the most common eels there are a mix of freshwater and saltwater eels.
Therefore, they really have to thank Yang Mi for her sharp eyes for being able to eat eel in the waters of Madagascar.
Catching an eel in the sea is very difficult.
After finishing his words, Tang Chen handed the net bag to Yang Mi and said to her, “We have a good haul already. You wait for me here, I’ll go catch two more fish!”
Then, Tang Chen took his speargun and dived back into the sea.
When he resurfaced, he already had two four- or five-pound parrotfish in his hands.
Parrotfish look like parrots, with a green body.
This fish has delicious meat, perfect for pan-frying or grilling.
Because its skin is thick, it can be grilled over a fire.
When grilled to the color of charcoal, you just need to peel off the skin to eat the juicy and delicious meat inside.
…
When Tang Chen and Yang Mi returned to the shore, Liu Shi Shi and Zhao Jin Mai had already built a fire.
Reba and Liu Tian Xian, seeing today's harvest, excitedly started trembling with their hands and mouths.
“Wow, so much seafood!”
Reba's exotic features were filled with excitement.
She gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, “Captain, you are truly our idol. From now on, I will definitely learn to dive from you!”
The net bag, besides the lobsters and crabs, also contained a large eel.
This is a new product unlocked today.
For many people, they love to eat broiled eel.
While there's no chance of broiling eel on this deserted island, making grilled eel seems pretty good too.
Most importantly, eel meat is very delicious.
No matter how it’s made, it will be delicious.
“Wow, a new harvest?” Liu Tian Xian, who was standing nearby, also walked over, “Captain, you are too amazing!”
“Just so-so,” Tang Chen laughed and shrugged, “This eel was actually discovered by Yang Mi...”
“Ah? Sister Mi Mi?”
Liu Tian Xian and Reba were both stunned upon hearing this.
“Um, well...”
Yang Mi, carrying her snorkeling gear, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, “I'll go change clothes first...”
After she finished speaking, she quickly ran away.
Thinking back to the scene where she hugged Tang Chen, Yang Mi felt a little flustered.
After all, it was just an eel.
Being so scared by an eel, she was afraid of losing face in front of Tang Chen.
After all, she is Yang Boss in the eyes of many, the most popular female star.
She still needs a little face.
When Tang Chen returned to the camp, Liu Shi Shi and Zhao Jin Mai had already built a fire.
Not only that, but they had also moved a pile of cassava from nearby.
They presented it to Tang Chen as if offering treasure.
“Yo, cassava?”
Tang Chen picked up a cassava and looked it over, asking curiously, “Shi Shi, did you two go dig this up?”
“Yes, Captain!” Liu Shi Shi said happily, “While Jin Mai and I were cleaning up the camp, we accidentally found a cassava patch next to it…”
She pointed to the cassava in front of them and said, “So we dug up a little bit, there are still a lot there!”
“Really?” Tang Chen nodded thoughtfully, “Good, it can be our staple food!”
Their current staple food is roasted green bananas.
Now that they have cassava, it can solve this problem.
Seafood will get boring if you eat too much of it, and lobster and grouper cannot be staple foods.
The appearance of cassava can perfectly offset this.
Thinking of this, Tang Chen raised his head and said, “Good job, you two have earned a reward, you can eat a little more lobster tonight!”
“Hee hee, thank you, Captain!”
Liu Shi Shi and Zhao Jin Mai responded in unison.
They were not happy because they could eat lobster, but because they received praise from their Captain.
To them, receiving the Captain's approval is more important than anything!
