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

Braving the wind and waves, the two ships continued to venture deeper into the open sea.

Wu Sui kept his eyes on the radar in his mind, and only when he saw a large number of green dots did he tell Wu Lei to stop the boat.

With the clanging of the chains, the anchor sank into the sea, securing the fishing boat firmly to the edge of the rapids.

"Dazhu, Lei-ge, get ready to go longline fishing!"

At Wu Sui's command, everyone immediately sprang into action.

Along the way, Wang Dazhu could stay idle, hanging live shrimp on the longline fishing hook early on.

Baiting is a skill; you have to thread the bait through the shrimp's tail without damaging its internal organs. This way, the shrimp can stay active in the water and attract larger fish to bite.

Wu Suiben thought that the big and burly Wang Dazhu would be more careless, but he didn't expect that he was not as careful as Dazhu when hanging things.

Well, now that he's the one being disliked, Wang Dazhu simply won't let him hang up.

Fishing hooks were cast into the sea, and the main line drew a long arc on the surface.

On the boat next door, Wu Gang, along with Chen Yang and Chen Yongqiang, were also working enthusiastically.

In less than an hour, all ten longline fishing trips brought out by the two boats were completed.

The sea surface was covered with buoys bearing the character "吴" (Wu).

Wu Lei straightened up, rubbed his sore shoulders, and looked at the undulating sea.

"Ah Sui, this area is relatively flat, what good stuff could there be?"

"Hard to say, but it's definitely better than those near the coast."

Wu Sui washed her hands and then picked up a towel to wipe her face.

He walked to the side of the ship and pointed to a dark reef area that was faintly visible in the distance.

That's where they put the traps yesterday.

"Let's go check out the blind boxes we ordered yesterday and see what good stuff we can get!"

Although no one understood what a blind box was, they knew from the direction it was a cage.

"Brother Sui, the mesh of that cage is so big, everything that goes in must be a big one, right?"

You'll find out when you get there.

Wu Sui shouted, "Weigh anchor, target: the reef area!"

The two ships sailed across the sea and soon arrived at the black reef area where the traps had been placed the day before.

The engine noise gradually subsided, and Wu Sui stood at the bow of the boat looking down.

It was low tide, and large black reefs were faintly visible underwater, like the spine of a monster.

"Ah Sui, the boat can't go any further."

Wu Lei poked his head out and gestured to indicate the water level.

"There are reefs all over here. If you're not careful, the bottom of the boat will be scratched and the propeller will be easily ruined."

On the other boat, Wu Gang also dropped anchor and shouted over, "Second brother, the water's too shallow, what do we do?"

"Wade through the water and feel your way across!"

Even in the middle of summer, the seawater temperature was just right.

Chen Yang couldn't wait to take off his clothes and jump into the water.

Others followed suit, wearing only shorts as they went into the water to collect the fish traps.

Wu Gang and Wu Lei walked at the front.

When they reached the first buoy, the young men were about to reach out and pull the rope when Wu Gang stopped them.

"Go away, go away, stay over there." He glared at Chen Yang.

"The fish traps are hanging on the rocks. You guys are so clumsy, you broke the nets with the slightest force. These things are expensive."

Wu Lei nodded in agreement: "Later, we'll haul the fish traps onto the boat for sorting. This job requires finding the right angle and slowly pulling them up with the current, otherwise they'll easily tear."

The group was indeed inexperienced and didn't try to be brave, so they just stayed in the seawater and watched them collect the fish traps.

Wu Lei and Wu Gang each held one end of the rope, working in perfect coordination to pull it up little by little.

The first fish trap broke through the water.

"Wow!" Chen Yongqiang leaned over for a look, and his eyes lit up immediately.

The trap was heavy; orchid crabs were waving their large pincers and bumping around inside the net, conches were clinging to the net walls, and several large octopuses were trying to squeeze out of the mesh.

Although it doesn't have that exaggerated, overflowing quality, this solid, high-quality product gives you peace of mind.

"Brother Lei, these crabs are plump, at least half a pound!" Wang Dazhu walked over cheerfully.

"Hurry up and tug the boats up to sort them, and move quickly," Wu Gang commanded.

The thrill of pocketing gold coins fueled everyone's enthusiasm, and they quickly cleaned out the goods from the first trap.

The two then moved toward the second buoy.

As the second fish trap was slowly pulled out of the water, Wu Lei suddenly exclaimed "Huh!"

"What's wrong, Brother Lei?" Chen Yang peeked over.

"Holy crap, a little green dragon!" Chen Yang's voice was filled with barely suppressed surprise.

Inside the cage net, several brightly colored little green dragons with long whiskers were jumping around energetically.

When the sunlight shines on it, the carapace gleams with a beautiful sheen.

"I'm rich! I'm rich!" Chen Yongqiang rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Small lobsters are a rare find, and their prices have always remained high. These things are hard to come by in coastal waters.

Everyone worked together to lift the fish trap onto the boat and carefully untied the opening.

"One, two, three..." Chen Yang shouted as he picked them into the bucket.

"Twelve in total, Brother Sui. Just from this one cage, we've already made back the cost of the fuel." Chen Yang was excited, his face flushed.

Wu Lei grinned from ear to ear: "That's right, this is a good thing. Be careful not to break the beard, otherwise the quality will be poor and the price will have to be reduced."

Wu Sui suddenly felt that he had gone to sea for nothing and that he might as well have just waited on the boat.

I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you want me to do?

He and Wang Dazhu carried buckets and were responsible for sending the sorted seafood into the ship's live water hold.

Looking at the lively little green dragon in the bucket, Wu Sui couldn't help but swallow hard.

Steamed with minced garlic, this stuff tastes absolutely amazing.

His eyes darted around, and while everyone was busy with their heads down, he reached out and pinched the whiskers of a small green dragon.

"Oh dear!" Wu Sui suddenly shouted exaggeratedly, looking heartbroken.

"How did this tendril break off? Oh dear, what a pity."

Chen Yang was looking down to take crabs out when he heard the noise and looked up, completely bewildered.

"Brother-in-law, no way! I was so careful when I was taking it out, how could it break?"

Wu Sui shook his head in anguish: "It was probably squeezed in the fish trap. With its whiskers broken, it's worthless."

As he spoke, he casually picked up the "disabled" little green dragon.

"Never mind, we'll keep it for ourselves. I'll just throw it in the kitchen."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Yang's reaction, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Chen Yang scratched his head and muttered, "Did I really break it?"

Next, the third trap, the fourth trap...

I don't know if this rocky area is particularly appealing to the little green dragons, but almost every trap I pulled up had several inside.

Excited cheers rose and fell among the crowd.

Wu Sui also fully demonstrated her acting skills during the round trip of transporting goods.

"Oh dear, how come this one's leg is broken? What a pity, take it to the kitchen!"

"Ouch... This one probably got pinched by a crab, it's disfigured. Go to the kitchen."

"Oh dear, this one doesn't look well, it's about to die, isn't it? Quickly take it to the kitchen and try to save it."

All ten traps have been collected.

Wu Sui shouted in surprise seven or eight times.

There were already more than a dozen little green dragons lying in the kitchen sink.
