Chapter 1092 They look so alike, I can't tell them apart.
Mi Xiaonan explained, "Sister-in-law, it wasn't me who drank it, it was my grandma. She loves food and enjoys eating. After retiring, she wasn't interested in anything else, so she just stayed home making all sorts of food and snacks. Before she knew it, she ate too much and gained weight. If she ate less, she wouldn't be happy, and if you tried to stop her, she would sneak some."
"Although I exercised, the amount of exercise from walking wasn't very effective, and I just kept getting fatter. Since I bought the slimming tea and had my grandma try it, she lost eleven pounds in six months. After losing weight, she felt lighter and more willing to go for walks. Unlike before when she was fat and would get tired after just a few steps!"
Wang Miaoxiang smiled and said, "When my mother-in-law and I were developing this slimming tea, we put a lot of effort into it! This slimming tea doesn't just aim to reduce weight; it only reduces some excess fat and helps the body maintain a balanced state! You can drink it or not!"
Tang Ying thought for a moment, "Miaoxiang, do you sell this slimming tea where we are?"
Wang Miaoxiang laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you're so thin, you don't need to at all!"
Tang Ying smiled wryly, "I'm not using it for myself either! Although the economy there isn't developing rapidly, there are still people who have gotten rich first, and there are many obese people there too!"
Wang Miaoxiang nodded, "There are distributors over there, and major supermarkets have also launched it! If anyone needs it, just tell them to buy it from the supermarket!"
"Then you can ask the distributors which supermarkets in our city sell it!" Tang Ying replied. "For those who can't control their diet, I'll have them drink this slimming tea!"
Wang Miaoxiang nodded, "Okay! This is a health tea; anyone without a serious illness can drink it!"
While the three sisters-in-law were chatting, Wang Nuannuan and Wang Chongyang had already set up the shrimp traps.
"Aunt Meilan, have we arrived yet? When can we put the shrimp traps down?"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Almost there! We'll be there in two minutes!"
She just found a place with lots of yellow crabs.
Seeing that oily body, Liu Meilan felt her mouth water.
Not only that, there were also quite a few lobsters nearby.
After navigating the yacht to the designated location, Liu Meilan, along with Wang Nuannuan and Xu Chongyang, began setting shrimp traps.
"Watch me operate it. I'll take the boat and you guys operate it!" Liu Meilan instructed.
Xu Chongyang nodded quickly, "Sister Meilan, I know how! Don't worry about sailing!"
Liu Meilan nodded, then helped Xu Chongyang tighten the straps of his life jacket. "Be careful!"
Liu Meilan steered her yacht to a new location, about ten meters away from the previous shrimp trap!
Wang Nuannuan and Xu Chongyang indeed loved fishing for seafood, and they learned quickly and did a very good job.
They worked together to set 10 shrimp traps before going fishing.
The place Liu Meilan chose really has a lot of good seafood.
After mooring the boat, Liu Meilan took out the fishing gear. "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, would you like to give it a try?"
Tang Ying was very interested. She was usually busy with work, and even when she went back to her mother-in-law's place, she would come and go in a hurry, and she didn't have the chance to play leisurely on the yacht like this.
"I'll give it a try!" Tang Ying said with a smile. "I heard there's a beginner protection period. Will I be able to catch any good seafood?"
Liu Meilan gave a thumbs up, "The ocean is generous; the newbie protection period is very effective!"
Wang Miaoxiang and Mi Xiaonan also took fishing rods, baited them with live, wriggling shrimp or small fish, and went to different fishing spots.
There are three fishing spots on each side of the yacht, enough for everyone.
Wang Nuannuan and Xu Chongyang couldn't wait any longer. They baited their hooks and quickly threw them into the sea.
Liu Meilan, meanwhile, was holding a large net to see what everyone had caught that day.
The newbie protection period was really something else! Tang Ying was the first to exclaim, "Meilan, come help me take a look! Is this a fish that's been caught?"
Everyone looked over when they heard this, and Mi Xiaonan quickly said, "The fish is here! It looks pretty big!"
Liu Meilan also came over. She had just checked and found that her sister-in-law was indeed lucky. She had caught the only grouper in the area, and it was quite big.
It's not the closed season for fishing, and they're fishing by hook and line, not with nets, so it's permitted.
"Sister-in-law, don't rush, take your time..." Liu Meilan taught Tang Ying how to fish, and after a few minutes, the fish finally surfaced.
Liu Meilan immediately grabbed the large net and swiftly caught the Napoleon wrasse. "Haha, sister-in-law, Napoleon wrasse, it's delicious and expensive. Even during the newbie protection period, it's working so well."
Liu Meilan quickly put the fish into the live water tank.
Mi Xiaonan swallowed hard. "Sister-in-law, thanks to you, we're in for a treat tonight."
Tang Ying blinked. "This fish looks a bit strange; its mouth is really thick. But the color is quite nice, like it's wearing a layer of greenish-blue clothing. Since you all say it's delicious, I'll try more. Hurry up and bait the hook; maybe my 'newbie protection period' is still on today. Let's keep fishing!" (Picture)
Speaking of which, today is strange too.
Tang Ying had barely cast her bait when the fish bit again. This time, with experience, Tang Ying pulled the fish to the surface herself. "Meilan, net it. Another Napoleon wrasse."
Liu Meilan was taken aback. Impossible. There was only one Napoleon wrasse on the seabed nearby, and it was already in the fish tank.
"Here it comes!" Liu Meilan quickly used a landing net to bring up the second fish that her sister-in-law had caught, and then smiled, "Sister-in-law, this isn't a grouper, it's a bluefin wrasse."
Tang Ying leaned closer to look, "The colors look about the same, and the sizes are about the same too."
“Look at their mouths,” Liu Meilan pointed to the fish in the net. “Just because they’re similar in color doesn’t mean they’re the same kind of fish. These are wrasse.” (Photo)
Tang Ying looked closely and said, "It seems their mouths are different."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Actually, there is another kind of fish that looks a lot like the blue wrasse, called the parrotfish."
Mi Xiaonan laughed, "Speaking of parrotfish, I remembered when my grandfather asked me to buy some bluefin tuna. When we got there, the owner saw I was a stranger and gave me a parrotfish. I thought it was bluefin tuna because it was greenish-blue, so I took it home. When I got home, my grandfather was furious and dragged me to find the fishmonger." (Photo)
“My grandfather taught me how to distinguish between parrotfish and wrasse at his stall. If you can’t tell the difference by color, you can tell by the mouth. Wrasse have small mouths, their upper and lower jaws are immobile, and their teeth are also quite unique. Parrotfish have large mouths, and their upper and lower jaws are immobile, so they can bite harder things, and their mouths generally can’t close completely.”
Tang Ying was confused. "Never mind, the chances of me going to buy seafood are very low anyway. I'll just remember the differences between Su Mei and Qing Yi."
Liu Meilan nodded, "That's good too. Both kinds of fish taste very good. Parrotfish have a high content of heavy metals, so try to avoid eating them. They're not expensive either. Some unscrupulous vendors often use them to replace bluefin tuna and sell them at a higher price, which is very annoying."
