Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

Whoosh!

A huge, dark blue-green figure burst out of the water.

"Blue spots!" Wu Gang craned his neck and shouted excitedly.

This blue-spotted animal is robust, with clearly visible markings that gleam with a faint blue light under the lamp.

Chen Yang caught it in the net, and the two of them worked together to lift it onto the deck.

"My goodness, that must weigh at least ten pounds!"

Wu Gang ran out of the cockpit, squatted on the ground, gestured with his hands, and rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Wild green spot weighing over ten pounds costs at least one or two hundred yuan per pound, so this one alone is worth over a thousand."

He quickly grabbed a syringe and used it to release the gas from the bruise.

After the fish were put into the live water tank, I couldn't help but give Wu Sui a thumbs up when they came out.

"Second brother, your luck is much better than Xiao Yang's."

"He made over a thousand yuan right off the bat, but Xiao Yang spent half a day trying to sell them and couldn't even sell them for 200 yuan in total."

Chen Yang pursed his lips but didn't dare to say a word.

How dare you criticize him?

My brother's luck isn't good either. Apart from that spring cat, which is worth something, the rest of his items only add up to two or three hundred yuan.

He doesn't have time for that many hooks, does he?

It may not be worth much, but at least it didn't kill a turtle, which is already quite good.

But he dared not say it, for fear that his older brother would slap him again.

Wu Sui smiled but didn't say anything. He hung up the leader and continued pulling.

Before I had gone two hooks, my hand suddenly felt heavy.

Another blue spot!

Although it wasn't as big as the previous one, it still weighed three or four pounds.

Wu Gang was so happy he couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.

"We're rich! We're rich! This voyage tonight has been incredibly profitable!"

Wu Sui threw the smaller blue-spotted fish onto the deck, watched his older brother deflate, and swallowed hard.

"Brother, keep this one for your own family."

Wu Gang was taken aback and quickly picked up the fish.

"Second brother, are you crazy?"

"These green spots cost over a hundred yuan per pound, this one alone is worth at least several hundred yuan. It's such a waste to eat it ourselves!"

"We can just grab some rock goby or a few sea catfish to tide us over."

Chen Yang nodded repeatedly, "A fish that costs several hundred yuan, can make you immortal by eating it?"

We must sell it!

Wu Sui shook his head.

"Brother, we're not short of a few hundred dollars right now."

"My sister-in-law and Xiaoxue are busy at home, and my parents aren't in good health either."

"These green grouper are highly nutritious and have good meat quality. Let's take them back to help them recover."

"Especially Ya Ya and Xiao Hu, they are at the age of growth. Eating more fish will make them smarter, and maybe they can get into a good university in the future."

Wu Gang held the spotted cat, his face contorted with pain.

"Catfish is still a fish, there's no need to eat it so expensively..."

"Buy two pounds of pork ribs, or buy an old hen to make soup; it's just as good for your health."

Wu Sui was too lazy to waste words with him, so he simply snatched the fish from his hand and threw it into the bucket next to him.

"I'm in charge of this."

"The purpose of making money is to improve our lives. What's the point of making money if you're just eating sea catfish every day?"

"It's settled then. We'll take this blue-spotted fish home and have my sister-in-law steam it tomorrow."

Wu Gang looked at the bluish spots in the bucket and sighed.

He knew his younger brother's temper; once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

"Fine, fine, you decide."

"What a spendthrift! He ate several hundred dollars' worth in one bite."

Wu Gang muttered under his breath, his face full of reluctance.

The remaining dozens of hooks were quickly collected.

Although no large catches were added, a few black sea bream and sea bass were added sporadically.

All five hundred hooks were collected.

The live water tank was already packed full, with all sorts of expensive seafood swimming around inside.

The deck was still piled with the "junk" that Chen Yang had fished up.

With those two buckets of basil, tonight's harvest can only be described as a bumper crop.

"Xiaoyang, go rinse the deck. We're getting ready to head back."

Wu Sui stretched, feeling his bones cracking all over.

Chen Yang agreed and picked up the hose to start washing the deck.

Wu Gang entered the cockpit and started the engine.

The fishing boat turned around and headed towards the dock.

The sea breeze on my face carried a slightly salty, fishy smell.

After Chen Yang finished rinsing the deck, he went into the cockpit and moved closer to Wu Gang.

"Brother, can you teach me how to sail the boat?"

"The way you steered the ship just now was so cool."

Wu Gang was in a great mood, thinking that with another person knowing how to drive the boat, they could take turns driving in the future, and he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, starting the boat isn't difficult. Come and stand next to me."

"Driving a boat is actually much simpler than driving a car, but you have to be careful of the waves and reefs at sea."

"Look at this steering wheel. Turning it left makes it turn left, and turning it right makes it turn right..."

Wu Gang patiently explained the essentials of sailing to Chen Yang, who listened with great interest.

Wu Sui leaned against the door frame of the cockpit, enjoying the sea breeze.

"Brother, let's go back and buy more materials."

"Longline fishing is much more effective than beachcombing; it's specifically for catching these valuable catches from deep water."

"Have your sister-in-law and Xiaoxue tie up a few more at home, so they can bring back two thousand hooks next time they go out to sea."

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang's hand trembled, and he almost steered the boat off course.

"Two thousand hooks?!"

"Second brother, you're not kidding, are you?"

"It took the three of us more than an hour to pull those 500 hooks. We were exhausted, like dead dogs."

"Two thousand hooks? Wouldn't that take until dawn?"

Wu Sui smiled.

"We can buy a net-collecting machine and modify it to collect the nets, which will save a lot of effort."

"As long as we can get the goods delivered, what's a little hard work?"

Wu Gang thought about the cargo in the live water tank tonight and gritted his teeth.

"Okay! I'll do as you say!"

"I'll go buy the materials when I get back tomorrow and tie up a few more sets."

The fishing boat cut through the waves and sped towards the dock.

On the distant coastline, the sun can already be faintly seen peeking out.

I was really tired that night, but the pleasant surprise of what I had gained made up for all the physical exhaustion.

On the way back, Wu Sui heated up the food he had brought.

I was so busy all night that I didn't even have time to eat. I could only grab a bite on the way back.

By the time we arrived at the dock, it was already completely daylight.

Chen Yang voluntarily jumped onto the dock and ran to the purchasing station to call Lin Tao to come and pick up the goods.

"Tell Brother Tao to bring the oxygenator and a few more buckets," Wu Sui instructed him as he walked away.

"Okay, brother-in-law."

While Chen Yang went to call Lin Tao to collect the goods, Wu Gang first put the fish from the live water tank into the buckets they had brought.

There were actually quite a lot of goods, but Wu Sui was lucky; he managed to bring in only the best items.

It would be such a waste if these fish died, so Wu Gang specially put them in a bucket separately.

Once everything is moved to the dock, things will get really complicated.

Whether they were dockworkers or gourmets, they all crowded around.

When Lin Tao arrived on his three-wheeled motorcycle with Lin Yang, the Wu brothers were already surrounded by a huge crowd.

Even from a distance, you can hear the calls for bids coming in waves.

There was also Wu Sui's apologetic refusal.
