Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

The target they found this time was not satisfactory.

The first net only yielded 8,000 jin (4,000 kg), and it appeared that only 40% of the eels were inside.

The second net yielded only 30% of the fish, which left Liu Dade feeling quite disheartened.

"Yang Bai, the conger eels are almost all gone. What do we do with only a day and a half left?"

There's still a shortfall of 40,000 jin (20,000 kg) to be made up, and if things continue like this, the supply will only decrease, and I'm afraid we won't be able to deliver on time.

Yang Bai sighed as he observed the situation.

"The conger eels here have probably all been caught, so they've moved to another spot."

He thought he could hold out in this place for a while longer, but he didn't expect to only be able to hold out for another day.

Finding habitats for moray eels is difficult, but with luck, you can find them after traveling several nautical miles.

If you're unlucky, you might not find a large hideout even after walking all day.

Zhang Kang drove over in his boat, and Yang Bai's walkie-talkie crackled to life.

"Yang Bai, there are no more moray eels in the waters we're responsible for. Is it the same here?"

Yang Bai responded to the past.

"Yes, I plan to look again."

What is the probability?

Zhang Kang was a captain before and had fished for eels, so he knew that these things were hard to find.

The abundance of moray eels in this area exceeded his expectations; it would be difficult to find a sea area comparable to this one.

"Very small, less than 30%."

Yang Bai spoke frankly.

Zhang Kang was silent for a moment, then said, "Thirty percent is enough. Let's go."

Yang Bai, leading his fleet, will search for possible locations based on his memories from his previous life.

They still hadn't found it by evening.

Yang Bai stopped the boat and took a sip of tea.

Liu Dade brought over a pancake. "Yang Bai, let's eat first. If all else fails, we can get through a 30-ton ship."

Yang Bai took the cake, shook his head and said, "I still want to try it. I'll go back today, and I'll take a risk tomorrow."

"adventure?"

Liu Dade frowned.

"Yang Bai, where are we going tomorrow? Is it risky?"

Yang Bai nodded.

"It's a big deal for ordinary people, but not so big for me. What I'm most worried about is the difficulty in coordinating with the other ships."

It would be very dangerous if we fell behind, so tomorrow I will persuade some of the wooden boats to retreat, leaving only the steel boats to capture them.

Liu Dade's expression turned serious. Even when facing the white mist last time, Yang Bai had not allowed the wooden boat to leave.

This time, however, some wooden boats have to be turned back, which is enough to show that the sea we are going to tomorrow is probably no less dangerous than the Widow's Sea.

"Yang Bai, don't risk your life."

Yang Bai took a bite of the pancake and smiled.

"What are you thinking? Your lives are far more valuable than a sixty-ton ship."

"Notify the other ships to return."

Yang Bai's sudden announcement of a collective return flight left everyone else puzzled.

Ma Yongkang rushed forward, his voice filled with anxiety: "Yang Bai, we've wasted an entire afternoon. In my opinion, we should return to port immediately and fish through the night. It's nothing for the brothers to stay up all night. If we don't hurry, we definitely won't be able to gather enough fish to deliver tomorrow."

He was burdened with heavy worries. He had just been transferred here, and if he couldn't save this 60-ton ship, he would have to be transferred back to the original dock. Not only would he not be able to take care of his grandmother at home, but he would also be the subject of gossip and ridicule from others.

Yang Bai calmly reassured him, "If we continue fishing in that area, the catch will only decrease with each attempt, eventually leaving only small fry. Not only will we not meet the quota, but we'll also damage the nearshore environment. Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to meet the deadline tomorrow."

Ma Yongkang's brows furrowed tightly, his mind filled with worry. Yesterday, they only caught a little over 30,000 jin of fish at the old fishing grounds, leaving a shortfall of 40,000 jin. He couldn't understand where Yang Bai was going to find the missing quantity.

"Don't worry, go back and get some rest."

After Yang Bai finished speaking, he got up, washed the crumbs off his hands, and then ordered the boat to return to port.

Upon arriving at the port, Hou Sanli was originally going back, but seeing the ship approaching the harbor, he waited for Yang Bai to disembark and asked him about it.

"Did they catch another 30,000 jin of conger eels this time?"

Yang Bai shook his head. "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you this time."

Hou Sanli's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Twenty thousand catties is fine. We can catch another twenty thousand catties tomorrow and that will be enough. As long as it's less than three thousand catties, I can handle it."

Yang Bai shook his head again, "It's less than 10,000 jin, and in the old sea area, the eels are gone, only small fish are left."

Upon hearing the news, Hou Sanli staggered twice, and Yang Bai helped him up.

"Are you alright?"

Hou Sanli shook his head and weakly waved his hand twice.

"No, it's fine. Three hundred thousand tons is also acceptable."

"I know you make mistakes sometimes, I understand, long live understanding."

He forced himself to leave, and the sixty-ton ship, which was practically in his mouth, just flew away.

Hou Sanli didn't even know where to cry.

Yang Bai tried to call out to him, but he walked further and further away.

When Yang Bai returned home, Su Wanqiu was sketching a suit on a draft paper.

She looked up and saw a hint of surprise in Yang Bai's eyes. "Yang Bai, why are you back? Weren't you supposed to be gone for three days?"

Yang Bai shook his head. "That was what I was thinking, but today's results weren't ideal. I'll have to try again tomorrow."

He decided not to tell the two women about his trip to the dangerous area.

Yang Bai picked up the draft paper of her words and began to read it. The person in the suit looked composed, dignified, and composed.

"This design is excellent; the specialist will definitely love it."

Su Wanqiu nodded. "I specifically designed it according to his style and temperament, and I hope the commissioner will like it. Is there a chance for a 60-ton ship?"

Yang Bai laughed and said, "We'll definitely win. Is there any food? I just had a pancake on the boat and I'm a little hungry now."

Su Wanqiu stood up upon hearing this.

"There's no leftover rice. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'll make you braised noodles. I happen to have dried scallops, red mushrooms, and shrimp. Ningning, start the fire."

Two women were cooking braised noodles in front of the stove.

A steaming bowl of braised noodles was placed in front of Yang Bai. His stomach was already empty from hunger. He picked up the noodles, the bright broth clinging to them, and slurped them up directly.

Take a bite of the noodles; they're chewy and smooth.

Yang Bai nodded repeatedly, "This was rolled out by hand, wasn't it?"

Su Wanqiu nodded, "We still have some flour at home, so I was thinking of making noodles. What do you think? Is that okay?"

"It's pretty good, just as good as what you get outside."

Yang Bai picked up a shrimp, peeled off its thin shell, and the shrimp meat inside was plump and juicy. One bite and you could tell how happy you were to live by the sea.

You can enjoy the best seafood anytime.

Yang Bai devoured the soup with the speed and efficiency of a whirlwind, leaving not a single drop uneaten, and the bowl was completely emptied.

He patted his belly, looking very satisfied.

"I'm full, it was cooked really well."

Su Wanqiu asked as she cleared away the dishes.

"Should I bring you food tomorrow?"

Yang Bai straightened his back, trying to help the food in his stomach digest faster.

"No need. If all goes well, I'll stay at sea for the rest of the day and come back in the evening."

"Even if things don't go smoothly, it's still the last day. Anyway, I'll be back."

Su Wanqiu held the bowl and chopsticks and said softly.

"Yang Bai, you will definitely succeed. The sixty-ton ship will be in your hands sooner or later."
