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

Chen Feng's warning echoed across the dock.

Although Chen Fugui and Daqiang were separated, the veins on their necks were still bulging, and they were pointing at each other's noses and cursing.

Wu Sui ignored the two clowns and took out his phone to call Lin Tao.

"Hey, Brother Tao?"

Lin Tao's yawning came from the other end of the phone: "Ah Sui, calling so early, are you back from sea?"

"We just docked." Wu Sui looked at the churning water in the freshwater tank. "Bring some people over, and bring several large buckets, and also an oxygen supply machine."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tao's voice immediately brightened: "A good harvest?"

"Pretty much. Anyway, your little tricycle definitely can't carry all of it. Hurry up, we need to save time for a lot of the goods."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Sui turned to look at Wu Gang and Chen Yang, who were still standing on the deck.

"Big Brother, Xiao Yang, forget about those two dogs fighting, unload the cargo!"

Chen Yang had been holding back his energy for a long time, and upon hearing this, he immediately grabbed the long-handled net next to him and loudly agreed.

"Okay, brother-in-law!"

Wu Gang also turned around and went into the cabin, took out several empty large plastic buckets, and lined them up on the deck.

There was already a large crowd at the dock, and when they saw Wu Sui preparing to unload the cargo, they all rushed over.

When fishing at sea, the moment everyone loves to watch is when other boats dock and unload their cargo.

Whether you made a profit or a loss is immediately clear.

What's more, Wu Sui had just earned 20,000 yuan yesterday, and today Chen Fugui was shamelessly following him around. Everyone was itching to know what good stuff he had gotten this time.

Chen Yang took the net and walked to the edge of the live water tank. He used the first net to reach directly into the compartment where the stonefish were stored.

"Splash!"

As soon as the net was cast, water splashed everywhere.

Chen Yang gripped the net handle with both hands, pulled it up forcefully, and poured the full net of fish into a plastic bucket on the deck.

The crowd gathered on the shore craned their necks to look into the bucket.

The first few sharp-eyed fishmongers gasped when they saw what was in the bucket.

"Holy crap! That's a stonefish?"

A middle-aged fishmonger pointed at the ugly, bumpy fish in the bucket, his voice rising eight octaves.

"It really is a stonefish! My goodness, it's so big, this bucket must weigh twenty or thirty pounds!"

Another fishmonger squeezed over, his eyes wide with surprise.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see there's something else down there?"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Chen Yang triumphantly scooped up another handful and poured it into the second bucket.

A dozen or so brightly colored lionfish covered in sharp spines darted back and forth in the water.

Then came another half-bucket of lively, wriggling mudskippers.

This caused an uproar throughout the entire dock.

"Lionfish, mudskipper...this boat is incredibly lucky!"

"It's not uncommon to encounter one or two of these three types of fish normally, but to see them everywhere like they're being sold wholesale, with handfuls at a time, has anyone ever seen that?"

"How much are these worth? Just those stonefish alone must cost several hundred yuan per kilogram."

The people on the dock whispered among themselves, their faces filled with disbelief.

Several fishmongers couldn't contain themselves any longer, pushed through the crowd, and rushed to the diving board.

"Boat owner, I'll take your batch of stonefish. I'll give you an extra ten yuan per pound, which is the market price."

"Old Li, that's not fair!" another fat fishmonger nearby exclaimed anxiously.

"Don't listen to the boat owner. I'll add 15 to your price, and I'll cover all the lionfish and mudskippers. The price will definitely satisfy you."

"Sell me the mudskipper..."

Several fishmongers immediately started bidding against each other to snatch this rare wild animal.

Wu Sui stood at the bow of the boat, looking down at the group of fishmongers who were now extremely anxious, and waved with a smile.

"Sorry, bosses, I've already placed an order for this batch of goods. Brother Tao will be here soon."

Those who knew the details of this ship all shook their heads.

"Stop arguing. This boat belongs to Lin Tao. He runs his own purchasing station; why would he need you to buy from him?"

"Let's all go home, let's go home. It wouldn't be bad to go to the purchasing station later and buy some to try."

When Chen Yang heard the fishmonger raise the price on the boat, he felt incredibly pleased, and his hands moved even faster.

"Brother, give me a hand, let's carry these buckets upstairs!"

Wu Gang walked over, and the two of them, one on each side, carried the bucket filled with stonefish and lionfish onto the dock.

Next, they began cleaning up their longline catch.

Bucket after bucket of fish were carried out of the live water tank.

Large sea bass, lively black sea bream, yellowfin sea bream...

Okay, there are also some that are worthless.

The small fish, including the stone goby, were packed into a separate bucket to take home and eat later.

One bucket, two buckets, three buckets...

The plastic buckets on the deck were quickly filled, so Chen Yang simply put some of the less valuable fish directly into the basket.

The noise on the dock grew louder and louder.

"This...this is a total overload, isn't it?"

"Longline fishing can bring up so much cargo? That's incredibly lucky."

"My goodness! I've been fishing at sea for over ten years, and I've never seen anyone catch so much fish in one night. It's even more impressive than using a net."

The villagers stared wide-eyed at the buckets of fish piled high on the dock.

On the periphery of the crowd, Chen Fugui and Daqiang stopped arguing.

The two stared blankly as Wu Sui carried bucket after bucket of fish ashore, their faces even more ashen than if they had swallowed dead flies.

Chen Fugui, in particular, was so jealous he was practically grinding his teeth to powder.

He now finally understood why Wu Sui could earn 20,000 yuan in one night.

This isn't fishing, it's practically picking money out of the sea!

"No wonder this bastard wanted to stick with someone else; I would have wanted to too."

"Exactly! Seeing others get rich while you can't even get a sip of soup, how can you not feel resentful?"

The surrounding chatter reached Chen Fugui's ears like a series of loud slaps to his face.

Not only did he fail to find a fishing spot, but his boat was also damaged, and now he has to pay for repairs. This deal is a complete loss.

"Beep beep beep!"

A series of urgent horn blasts sounded outside the crowd.

Lin Tao, accompanied by two men, hurriedly squeezed into the dock in a tricycle.

"Make way, everyone make way."

He jumped off the bus, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and squeezed to the front.

When he saw the rows of large barrels filled with live fish on the dock, especially the barrels of stonefish and lionfish, he was completely stunned.

"Ah Sui, you...you've stirred up a fire!"

He squatted by the bucket, looking at the priceless seafood inside, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Luckily, we found a good trap." Wu Sui stepped off the boat and handed Lin Tao a cigarette.

"Brother Tao, hurry up and load the truck. It's getting hotter and hotter, and if we can't supply enough fresh water, the fish will easily die."

"Yes, yes, hurry up and load it onto the truck!"

Lin Tao snapped out of his daze and quickly called to his two men.

"Be careful, move the stonefish and lionfish up first, don't prick your hands, these are gold nuggets."

The two men didn't dare to be negligent and carefully lifted the bucket.

The fishmongers immediately surrounded Lin Tao, trying to get on his good side and squeeze some money out of him.

Lin Tao had no time to deal with them; he was busy managing the loading process while simultaneously directing the loading.

The tricycle was quickly filled, but more than half of the cargo on the ship was still unloaded.

"Ah Sui, there's too much of this stuff; we can't haul it all in one trip." Lin Tao wiped his sweat.

"I'll have them take this batch back to the store for oxygenation first, and then come back to pick up the second batch."

"Okay, you can arrange it."

For the next half hour or so, Lin Tao's two partners drove their tricycle back and forth between the dock and the purchasing station three or four times before they finally managed to haul all the fish away.

The villagers who had been watching the spectacle were now numb to it all.

This trip yielded at least several hundred kilograms of goods, plus those expensive stonefish; this trip was even more terrifying than yesterday's.

Lin Tao looked at the empty deck and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Come on, let's go back to the store, I'll settle the bill for you."

Lin Tao turned around to get into the car, and the crowd of onlookers prepared to disperse.

Wu Sui suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Tao's shoulder.

"Don't rush, Brother Tao."

"The grand finale hasn't been brought out yet."
