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

The net was pulled taut, Liu Dade, who was observing from where the net was cast, shouted.

"Xiao Yang, it's almost time to poop."

"it is good."

Yang Bai reduced the engine speed and stopped the boat.

Liu Dade and Yang Jun operated the winch to pull up the net.

Liu Dade stared wide-eyed at the fish jumping around in the net.

The net says "small, worthless fish" on it.

Below, however, is a mixture of top-quality pomfret and large yellow croaker.

After Yang Jun used a crane to pull the fish up, Liu Dade loosened the net.

One by one, the silver and golden pomfret and large yellow croaker fell onto the deck.

At a glance, the large yellow croakers weigh over a pound, and the pomfret are top-quality fish weighing over two pounds.

This net yielded at least 800 jin (400 kg), with pomfret and large yellow croaker making up 80% of it.

"Oh my god."

Liu Dade took a deep drag on his cigarette; he had never seen anything like this in his life.

Yang Jun grinned.

"Brother Yang, you can earn more here than there!"

Yang Bai ran up to the deck to look.

Indeed, large yellow croakers accounted for about 50-60% of the fish population in that area.

When you come here, the pomfret, which is of equal value, makes up a full 80% of the fish in the tank.

Including the other miscellaneous fish, it adds up to about a hundred dollars more.

"Old Liu, stop standing there and keep going."

About ten minutes later, the second net, now filled with bait, was lowered into the sea to catch fish.

Yang Jun pulled out a box filled with ice from the cabin, and the two began to select fish.

We worked until four o'clock, then hauled in the last, seventh net.

As for the weight, it had already broken through the five thousand and reached the six thousand jin mark.

When Yang Bai had a spare moment to help pick out fish, he suddenly noticed plump, golden fish scales among the other fish.

He brushed aside the miscellaneous fish, and a huge fish head appeared before his eyes. He continued to dig downwards, but even after more than thirty centimeters, he still couldn't see the whole head.

His breath hitched slightly.

Absolutely, this is definitely the king of yellow croakers!

"Old Liu, Xiao Jun, come quick! I've found a king fish!"

Liu Dade and Yang Jun perked up their ears when they heard the words "Fish King".

Hurry up and go check it out.

Yang Bai continued wiping away the miscellaneous fish, and a large yellow croaker nearly a meter long appeared before everyone's eyes.

Liu Dade swallowed hard; he had never seen such a large yellow croaker before.

"A giant yellow croaker! If this pound were on the black market, it would sell for at least fifteen yuan!"

Liu Dade's catch was small, and it would be a loss to sell it in the state-run seafood store, so he knew some people on the black market.

Yang Bai nodded slightly. The aquatic product company purchases the products according to the unified purchase price.

Although it is graded, the eight-pound king of fish is only purchased at the first-grade price.

In other words, even if the eight-pound king of fish is sold to a seafood company, it will still fetch 1.2 yuan per pound.

Selling in this way will result in huge losses.

"Old Liu, you know people on the black market, so I'll leave this King Fish to you to sell."

"The money will still be split tenfold. Xiao Jun, go and get another box to put the King Fish in. Make sure this box is well hidden."

Yang Jun knew the importance of the matter.

If it gets caught, it's considered speculation and profiteering.

He brought over a large box, put the King Fish inside, and placed it at the very back of the storage room.

"That's about enough for today, let's start putting the cages away."

Yang Bai clapped his hands, today's harvest was quite substantial.

They also unexpectedly acquired an eight-pound kingfish.

The boat moved slowly as Liu Dade and Wang Jun scooped up the crab trap.

It took Liu Dade some effort to scoop out the cage full of crabs.

It weighs about 15 kilograms.

Half of the crabs in the net were plump, two-pound mud crabs, along with other miscellaneous crabs such as stone crabs and swimming crabs.

Liu Dade opened the net, grabbed a blue crab, and weighed it in his hand.

"Tsk tsk, Widow Sea is full of gold bars. This one could probably fetch two or three dollars at a seafood company."

The blue crabs from the nine cities inside are all first-class crabs, which is why they are so big.

A healthy environment and the absence of fishing are crucial.

In shallow waters, you might only encounter a handful of crabs like this in a year.

"Yes, that's why I ordered these crab cages."

Yang Bai was very satisfied. It seemed he should order a dozen or twenty more and let them sit for a while.

Next, they scooped up all the crab traps.

They took out about ten wooden basins and poured seawater into them, then tied the crabs with hemp rope.

Liu Dade and Yang Jun are both experienced.

Yang Bai then sailed back.

They soon reached the shore.

A group of fishermen saw Yang Bai's boat coming and gathered around to watch.

They are now just waiting to see Yang Bai make a fool of himself.

After the boat docked and was secured,

As the plank was lowered, Yang Bai slowly disembarked from the boat.

Hou Sanli was already waiting.

"Has the Yangbai new sea area been completed?"

"Of course it worked out. I'm sorry to have disappointed you."

Yang Bai bowed to the fishermen watching the play.

They were so angry their faces turned green, but so what if they found a new area of ​​the Widow Sea?

If he catches less than last time, it means the area he found won't last more than a few days.

Hou Sanli's eyes lit up with joy upon hearing this, and he quickly ordered his men to unload all the cargo from Yang Bai's ship.

One by one, boxes and fishing baskets were carried down.

There were about ninety of them laid out on the ground.

All the fishermen's jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

Lifting the cloth cover revealed large yellow croakers inside, though the quantity had decreased.

But there's also the large pomfret! Its value is probably comparable to that of the large yellow croaker!

The onlookers gasped in shock.

He made even more money and a bigger profit in this sea area than in the previous one!

Hou Sanli grinned from ear to ear at the sight of the large amount of newly arrived fish.

"Yang Bai, I knew you could do this. You've scooped up so much at once, how big is the new sea area?"

"It's three times the size of what it used to be; it'll probably take several weeks to catch it all."

Yang Bai held up three fingers and said confidently.

In fact, if it weren't for the concern about not exhausting resources, it would probably take several months to catch all the fish.

The fishermen were practically grinding their teeth in frustration.

In a few weeks, Yang Bai will probably become a millionaire.

"How is that possible! That's several weeks' worth of supplies!"

"If Yang Bai finishes this job in the next few weeks, he probably won't have to work for the rest of his life."

"Yes, he became a millionaire by fishing. I reckon he's the only one in the whole commune who did it."

"Damn it, why don't I have such bad luck?"

.......

"Manager Hou, you don't know yet? There are still crabs up there that haven't been moved down."

Yang Bai looked up at the laborers on the boat, who were carrying wooden basins for holding crabs.

One by one, wooden basins were brought down, each containing a fresh and plump blue crab.

Hou Sanli's eyes widened in amazement; catching crabs is hard work.

Many fishermen go out to sea to catch crabs just to satisfy their appetite.

The company has never had many crabs, and sometimes there are even shortages, let alone the first-grade mud crabs with plump roe in the basin.

"I want them all! Calculate the price!"

Hou Sanli couldn't wait to speak.

The people in charge immediately began to take inventory.

Hou Sanli took out the leather bag tucked under his arm, unzipped it, and took out a few tickets.

"Yang Bai, I've gotten you two bicycle tickets."
