Reborn in 1990, a life of fishing and gathering seafood.

Chapter 117: Too many to catch, the entire ship is full! [Please subscribe]

"Brother Hao!"

"There are too many squid!!"

"There's simply no way to catch them all—"

Fang Qiang shouted, his face a mixture of excitement and exhaustion.

They were quite surprised to find so many squid here.

Originally, I just wanted to try my luck at sea.

Who would have thought that after arriving here...

Suddenly we encountered a school of squid.

The two of them were busy working non-stop.

The sea surface was teeming with squid attracted by the lights, so many that it seemed impossible to catch them all, and there seemed to be more and more of them.

Happiness mixed with exhaustion!

"Hahaha!"

"A great harvest tonight."

Fang Hao looked at the squid in the cabin.

My mood naturally became more cheerful.

I estimate it weighs at least two or three hundred pounds!

The current purchase price of squid should be around two yuan, which means that I will have five or six hundred yuan in my account tonight.

of course!

This money doesn't even include the cost of fuel for the fishing boat and labor. Overall, there's still a profit to be made; at least a small fortune has been made.

Before coming, I didn't expect to encounter so many squid. I thought I would catch as many as I could, since the catch of fishing boats at sea depends on luck.

No one can guarantee a perfect catch; otherwise, fishermen would have become rich long ago.

If you're lucky.

That way we can catch more.

If you're unlucky.

They might even lose money.

Fishing boats need to burn fuel and pay labor costs to go out to sea, which are all expenses that require real money.

In short.

Go out to sea to fish!

Sometimes the harvest is good, sometimes it's bad; it's not very stable. Otherwise, fishermen would have become rich long ago.

They only earn more during the fishing season.

There's not much income when there's a typhoon or it's not fishing season.

"Brother Hao!"

"It's a pity we don't have a large boat with professional squid fishing equipment, otherwise we could definitely have caught more—"

Fang Qiang continued.

Now they just use a net to copy the grains.

The squid were floating directly on the surface of the sea, layer upon layer, and after being scooped up, they were thrown directly into the cabin.

Human resources are ultimately limited!

"Forget about professional equipment."

"We're just trying to capitalize on this short-term opportunity!"

Fang Hao shook his head and said.

We don't catch these things all year round; we only catch a few when squid are active.

The two of them are quite tired after catching so much fish; going out to sea to catch fish is inherently a hard job.

Humans aren't machines that can work indefinitely.

"Brother Hao!"

"If I had that kind of luck every night, I'd be rich!"

Fang Qiang said with a smile.

My hand cramped up from catching squid.

The main reason is that squid are very sensitive to light.

Shining lights into the sea late at night makes it easy to attract them.

It feels like a moth drawn to a flame!

Fishermen often base their fishing methods on the habits of the fish.

"You bastard!"

"If it's like this every night, I'm afraid you wouldn't want to go through all that trouble."

Fang Hao shook his head and said.

Even picking up money every day would feel tiring.

Moreover, the risks of going out to sea at night are much higher than during the day.

In case of an unforeseen event.

That could mean the ship wrecks and everyone dies.

It's okay if they come out a few times occasionally.

It's not realistic to go out every night!

"Hahaha!"

"I'm not afraid of being tired, I'm just afraid of not having money."

"If I can make money, I don't mind working from day to night."

Fang Qiang spoke up.

Now is the time when you are young and strong.

I have so much energy I can't use it all!

As long as I can make money, that's fine.

"You have to be alive to spend money, even if you earn it."

"A balance between work and rest is important in everything you do."

Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head.

It seems I didn't suffer much in my past life.

I still don't want to suffer anymore in this lifetime.

Fortunately, I was lucky after being reborn!

They made a small fortune.

"It's getting late—time to pack up and head home! We have to come out and collect the traps again tomorrow!"

Fang Hao spoke up.

It's probably time to head back!

After all, we still need to go out to sea to collect fish tomorrow.

I haven't gone out to collect bottles, cans, and traps for two days now; there's probably quite a bit of seafood already.

After all, we're going to the county town today.

It wasted a whole day!

"OK."

Fang Qiang nodded.

The sea voyage tonight yielded a very good catch.

The entire cabin was filled with squid.

In Fang Hao's perception, no fishing boat could possibly catch that many.

He just looks for places with lots of squid.

They immediately sent Fang Qiang to sail there.

Squid are phototropic!

Once they appear, they will appear in large quantities.

"Brother Hao!"

"I estimate it's about 300 jin (150 kg). If we can have this kind of harvest every night from now on—we can still make a fortune!"

Fang Qiang continued.

That's absolutely true.

Ever since Fang Hao bought a fishing boat and went out to sea, his catch has always been quite considerable, whether it's fishing nets or fish traps, he always manages to get something.

If things continue like this...

You can definitely make a lot of money over the course of a year.

"Who can predict luck?"

Fang Hao shook his head.

They have had a good catch of fish recently.

That's because they use more fishing nets and traps, which increases the chances of catching something.

Other fishing boats don't have that many tools.

The harvest was naturally less.

"oh oh."

"That's true."

Fang Qiang nodded.

As someone who lives by the sea, I know very well that fishing at sea depends on luck and the weather.

Sometimes the results aren't good!

Sometimes the harvest is very good!

The main problem is instability.

He and Fang Hao have had incredible luck at sea recently, reaping a series of good harvests.

The reason is...

The marine resources in the 1990s were much better than in later years; at least the probability of a harvest was relatively higher.

soon.

The two then sailed their fishing boat back to the fishing port.

Because people have been going out to catch squid frequently at night recently, the peddlers also wait at the dock at night to collect the squid.

Wang Mazi was there too!

At the fishing port pier.

"Myna bird!"

"You guys had a pretty good haul tonight, huh?"

Wang Mazi praised him as he spoke.

Fang Hao and Fang Qiang caught a lot of squid.

You can make a profit even if you eat it all.

"good."

"I'll set some aside to dry the squid."

"Just weigh the rest!"

Fang Hao nodded and said.

The squid that were caught were all very fresh.

Taking some back to dry into squid jerky would be a good idea; we could then stir-fry some and enjoy it with some wine.

Pure, natural, wild-caught premium goods!

"Alright!"

Wang Mazi had no objections.

Fang Hao only kept a few dozen kilograms.

Less than a third!

The rest probably weigh over 200 jin each.

Recently, many villagers have been going out to sea to catch squid at night.

Some were caught weighing over ten kilograms.

Some were caught weighing dozens of kilograms.

Some even weigh over a hundred kilograms.

It mainly depends on luck and skill.

For example, that guy Ang Shiu caught a lot of squid, and everyone else got envious after seeing him make money, so they all went out to sea at night to catch squid.

""

Upon seeing this.

Fang Hao didn't say anything more.

Tonight is my side job.

Whether you earn a lot or a little, you've still made money.

While you're at it, grab some fresh squid to dry into squid jerky; it's a great snack to have with drinks.
