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

Investment deals certainly can't be finalized in a short time.

As the country develops and people have more money, coupled with the vigorous development of the tourism industry.

This part alone can drive many industries.

Su Ruoxue had a brief chat with the town leaders, expressing her interest in investing. She said a professional evaluation team would come to investigate later, and then she returned to the dock with Wu Sui.

The setting sun casts its rays on the sea, making the water sparkle.

The small fishing boats that operate in the nearshore waters have long since returned, and the docks are full of fishermen unloading their catch and fishmongers haggling over prices.

Lin Tao was standing on the shore with his younger sister Lin Jing, looking around, with a large plate of firecrackers at their feet.

"Brother Tao, how long have you been waiting?" Wu Sui walked over to greet him.

Lin Tao turned around and pointed to the firecrackers at his feet.

"I just arrived a little while ago. I was thinking that your big ship is making its first voyage to the open sea today, and I figured it'll be back soon, so I bought some firecrackers to welcome you back."

Su Yu leaned closer and stared intently at the plate of firecrackers.

"Brother Tao, are we going to set off cannons again when the fishing boats come back?"

Lin Tao nodded with a smile.

"It's an old custom here that when a new ship goes to sea, people who are on good terms with the crew will set off with firecrackers at the dock."

"Firstly, it's to ward off the bad luck from the sea, and secondly, it's to welcome the God of Wealth and bring good fortune."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu immediately perked up.

"That's a good rule. One string of firecrackers isn't enough for Brother Sui's boat!"

He looked around and ran straight towards the small supermarket outside the dock.

"Sis, Sui-ge, wait for me a moment!"

Su Ruoxue looked at her younger brother making a fuss, and either shook her head or gave him some instructions.

"Buy more, so your brother Sui can make him proud."

Wu Sui met his teasing gaze and felt incredibly embarrassed.

There is indeed a local custom of celebrating the first voyage of a new ship, but this is Wu Sui's second ship, so there's no need for such a grand celebration.

Su Ruoxue said this to tease him on purpose.

Su Yu actually took it seriously, and not long after, he returned with a tricycle piled high with rubble.

I bought firecrackers, fireworks, and all sorts of toys.

Lin Tao clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Ah Yu, are you trying to blow up the dock?"

The group carried the things down, and Su Yu didn't seem to care.

"Just for the sake of making a splash; Brother Sui's new ship has to be impressive!"

Just then, Linghua came over with the Wu family, carrying a basket.

Uncle Chen, also carrying his things, gathered around with several villagers who were on good terms with the Wu family.

"Ah Sui, the new ship hasn't returned yet?"

Seeing so many people, Wu Sui quickly offered cigarettes to each of them.

"It should be soon. The fishing season opens today, so we'll just do one net. We agreed to be back before tonight."

The fishing boats hadn't returned yet, but the sea fishing boats had already docked.

After seeing off the tourists on the boat, Wu Jianguo jumped onto the dock with a radiant face.

"Dad, how's business?" Wu Sui asked.

Wu Jianguo, with money in his pocket, couldn't stop smiling.

"Excellent!"

"Those city folks can be happy for half a day just by catching a few tiny fish the size of their palm."

"At noon, I cooked a pot of mixed fish soup for them on the boat, and steamed some crabs and shrimp that had been caught in fish traps. When they got off the boat, they insisted on paying a processing fee."

When Wang Feng heard that he had made money, she excitedly asked him all sorts of questions, and Wu Jianguo didn't hide anything from her.

Those who came to celebrate with the Wu family were all people with whom they had a good relationship.

Just like Wu Sui said, the sea is so big, one person can't earn all that money.

He openly and frankly explained how much he would charge for taking people out to sea for fishing.

Several families in the village were secretly astonished by these words and began to pester Wu Jianguo for advice.

The sun was almost setting when a deep, long whistle finally sounded from the sea.

"It's back! The big ship is back!" Wang Feng shouted, pointing into the distance.

A large ship, seventeen meters long, cut through the waves, its red ribbon at the bow fluttering in the sea breeze.

As soon as the ship entered the harbor, Chen Yang, arms outstretched, stood on the bow, jumping and shouting at the top of his lungs from a distance.

"The internet's bursting, brother-in-law, uncle...we're bursting the internet!"

That shout immediately drew the attention of most of the people on the dock.

Su Yu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when he saw Chen Yang, he quickly grabbed a lighter.

"Ignite! Ignite!"

Firecrackers exploded on the dock.

The explosion filled the air with smoke and scattered red paper scraps everywhere.

People on other fishing boats nearby also forgot about their work and rushed over to watch the excitement.

Wu Jianguo quickly pulled out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them out to everyone he met, his face beaming with joy.

"Congratulations! The new ship is launching its first online event. Let's all share in the joy!"

The large ship slowly approached the shore and anchored.

Wu Gang stepped out of the driver's seat, his face flushed purple, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.

Wu Sui jumped onto the deck: "Big brother, the net is down?"

Wu Gang could barely speak properly, pointing at the fish hold.

"Second brother, look for yourself, it's all top-quality stuff!"

Chen Yang, Wang Dazhu, and Chen Yongqiang were waiting at the entrance of the fish hold. When they saw Wu Sui arrive, they excitedly opened the door.

The people on the shore craned their necks to look inside.

The fish hold was completely full of fish.

More importantly, the fish were of a single species, indicating that they were all caught in one net.

The fish has a flat, diamond-shaped body, a slightly bluish back, a silvery-white belly, and fine, dense scales that are packed together with almost no gaps.

When Uncle Chen saw the fish, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Mother Selin, this...this is a pomfret?"

Lin Tao couldn't resist either. He jumped onto the boat, squeezed to the edge of the fish hold, and reached out to grab a big fish and weigh it in his hand.

"It weighs over two pounds, this is good stuff!"

Su Yu didn't recognize the fish, so he went up to Lin Tao and asked.

"Brother Tao, is this fish worth a lot of money?"

Lin Tao was so excited that he kept slapping his thigh.

"This is called Chinese pomfret, which we commonly call 'fighting pomfret' here. It's the finest pomfret!"

"The meat is thick and has few bones, and it's very succulent. Whether steamed or pan-fried, the taste is absolutely amazing."

Lin Tao paused, then turned to look at Wu Sui.

"Ah Sui, you've caught so many in one net, you've struck it rich!"

Wu Jianguo also squeezed onto the boat at this time. Looking at the full hold of pomfret, his hands were trembling.

"Boss, how many are in this entire cabin?"

Wu Gang raised his chin, his face full of smugness.

"Dad, it's not just this one compartment; the smaller one, the storage area, and the cold storage are all full too. I estimate... it must weigh four or five tons!"

The dock fell silent immediately after these words were spoken.

Four or five tons?

Ten thousand catties!

Uncle Chen started counting on his fingers.

"Currently on the market, the purchase price of pomfret weighing over one jin (500 grams) easily exceeds 40 yuan."

He suddenly felt like he was dreaming. On this trip to sea, he made a net worth of 40?

The crowd erupted in cheers.

"My God! 40 yuan earned from just one sea voyage? That's enough to cover the cost of the boat, right?"

"How come Wu Lao Er is always so lucky? My boat has never encountered such a thing."

"Who says otherwise? Other people are lucky if they don't lose money when they fish with longlines, but Wu Lao Er always makes a fortune."

"Now that the fishing season has opened, trawling is possible, and one haul is worth a year's income for most people. It's unbelievable."

Linghua was so moved that she kept wiping away tears.

"I knew Ah Sui was a lucky star; she shielded Mazu from disaster, and this blessing came immediately!"

Standing on the shore, Su Ruoxue listened to the discussions of the fishermen around her, and her heart was also filled with turbulent waves.
