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

"Brother Yang, why are there such large crab traps over here?"

After finishing his pancake, Yang Jun got up to move around and happened to come across a larger cage in the corner.

He picked them up and saw that they were much larger than the crab traps from before, and the width of the nets was completely unsuitable for catching crabs and shrimp.

Yang Bai clapped his hands, picked up a cage, and said.

"This is not a crab trap, but a fish trap."

There were many fish hiding in the reef, so he added twenty more fishing cages to his order for Three-Headed Goldfish.

I never expected it would come in handy now.

"A fishing trap?" Yang Jun instantly understood. "Oh, Brother Yang, you want to use this to catch red-spotted fish?"

Yang Bai nodded slightly, "You've finally figured it out, kid. Hurry up and put the bait in."

The reason why erythroderma is expensive is that it is rare and difficult to catch.

Hiding inside the cave, if you try to lower a net down, the net will get caught on the bottom, and eventually it will break.

The only remaining options are fishing or spearing.

He chose the least strenuous, yet equally conservative, method.

He used sonar to probe for red spots inside the cave in the reef below.

Yang Jun and Liu Dade were in charge of setting the net.

They quickly got off and returned to the cabin.

Yang Bai began to rotate the sonar, positioning it at the most sensitive location of the erythema at 315 Hz.

Using feeding signals, they lure the red spots into a trap that has been set in a fishing net already laid on the seabed.

Liu Dade and Yang Jun watched in stunned silence.

"Brother Yang is fucking amazing, I have no idea what he's doing."

Yang Jun was amazed. He said that Brother Yang said this thing was very simple, but he still didn't understand how to operate it.

He only knew how to turn the machine on and off. When Brother Yang explained how to read maps and judge the terrain, he was a bit confused.

Having seen many grand occasions, Liu Dade spoke with a solemn expression.

"This is a sound-luring fishing method, which many people on large ships don't know how to use because it requires understanding the sound characteristics of the red spots to lure them in a specific way."

"There are dozens of sound signals emitted by just one red spot, and he seems to know them all by heart."

"How did he manage to do that?!"

For fishermen who are illiterate, understanding the habits of sounds is like asking them to read a foreign language.

Yang Bai had only been fishing for less than a month; how did he acquire this knowledge?

I used to think that his ability to fish in Widow's Sea was half skill and half luck.

It now seems that it's all about hard power.

Recalling his earlier rejection, Liu Dade felt a little ridiculous; he was laughing at his own foolishness.

After waiting for almost two hours, Yang Bai stopped what he was doing.

"Let's go check on the situation at the First Net first. Oh, and put some seawater in the bucket first, then temporarily put the erythema in the bucket."

Red spots die easily. Once they die, simply keeping them fresh with ice will result in a different smell every day, and they will become smelly in three days.

In his previous life, Jiang Xinmin overlooked this point, and the menu had strict standards, so he stubbornly tried to save face by bribing the chef to serve rotten fish.

The two were playing cards when they heard Yang Bai's order. They immediately put down their cards, picked up several wooden buckets, and went up to the deck.

After filling the wooden bucket halfway with water, they began to pull in the net.

The fish traps scattered in various locations were collected within half an hour.

Yang Bai stopped the boat and went out to investigate.

Yang Jun happily ran to Yang Bai's side.

"Brother Yang, this is a four-pound piece of red spot. Other red spots on the internet weigh at least two pounds. It's a real treasure."

He led Yang Bai to the nearest wooden barrel, where a four-pound red-spotted goat was swimming.

Yang Bai smiled and said, "Not bad. How many empty cages are there?"

Liu Dade reported: "There are about nine empty cages, weighing a total of forty jin."

For ordinary fishermen, this result would probably make them happy for a long time.

But for them, who catch fish worth seven or eight hundred yuan a net, this is no different from catching fly meat.

No wonder Yang Bai has never come here to capture the red spots.

"Okay, keep going."

Yang Bai turned and went back into the cabin.

He called out to the two people outside.

"Old Liu, Xiao Jun, come in and help!"

Yang Bai took out a large water tank, put ice blocks inside, then put a small water tank over it and poured seawater into it.

Liu Dade and Yang Jun followed suit.

Yang Bai took out a thermometer and measured the water temperature. When he saw that it was controlled at 15 degrees Celsius, he nodded and said, "It's ready to be put in."

The water temperature today is 15 degrees Celsius. Red-spotted goldfish are very precious, and they will die from stress if the temperature deviates.

After placing all the red-spotted animals into the water tank, Yang Bai instructed, "Keep the water temperature around 15 degrees Celsius, change the water every two hours, and drain half of it each time."

Yang Bai picked up the alarm clock, set the time, and returned to the driver's seat.

They released them again, and this time they scooped up about fifty pounds.

The two kept their eyes on the red spots, and the constant casting and retrieval of the nets was even more tiring than picking out fish.

Looking at the thirty-two red-spotted pigs, Yang Jun asked, "Brother, that's eighty jin in total. We've already caught ninety jin just from the red-spotted ones. Should we continue catching them?"

Yang Bai looked at Yang Jun's bitter face and smiled.

"Okay, that's enough. My main concern is that the red-spotted fish will die. Alright, put the rest of the fish in the net and release them into the sea. We'll get the abalone tomorrow."

The fish traps are made of nylon rope and steel rings, which allows the red snapper to move freely in the sea and prevents it from easily breaking the net and escaping.

Raising them in the sea is the easiest method.

There's no way around it; the red-spotted rabies are nocturnal, so catching them in the morning is even more troublesome. If we try to catch them tomorrow night, the boat will take four hours to go back and forth, and by the time we get to the hotel, we might not make it in time to finish.

The red spot was put back into the cage and sunk into the sea, where a rope was hung on a reef.

The three returned to the cabin and rested there.

The next morning, we checked the survival rate of the erythema.

One was on its last legs, but the rest were still alive and kicking.

Yang Bai scooped up the nearly dead fish and placed it directly into the ice to freeze.

"Start scooping out the crab traps!"

The two stretched their muscles and went outside.

Liu Dade stood on the deck, a cigarette dangling from his lips, enjoying the sea breeze.

"Xiaojun, did you sleep well last night?"

This was Yang Jun's first time spending the night at sea; he had slept on a deckchair the previous night.

"It's alright, but my neck hurts a little."

Liu Dade laughed heartily.

"It's normal for it to hurt; pain means you're building muscle."

Yang Jun scratched his head. "Is that so?"

Soon the boat approached the first spot where the crab traps would be placed.

Liu Dade held a hook in his hand, hooked it onto the rope tied to the reef, and pulled the crab trap over.

Slowly pulling upwards, the crab trap gradually floated to the surface and was placed on the deck.

Seafood thrashing about in Liu Dade's cage.

Inside were plump blue crabs and prawns, with the most ferocious blue lobsters thrashing about in the cage.

The crab claws kept cutting the nylon thread, but 12 strands of nylon thread are not so easy to cut.

Liu Dade brought over the water tank and dumped all the seafood inside into it.

A blue crab weighs at least ten taels, while a blue dragon weighs sixteen taels each, and some even twenty-four taels.

If these are sold, they'll fetch one yuan and fifty cents per pound.

In the past, catching him would have been a source of great joy, and we would even go back to the village to brag about it.

After following Yang Bai, he felt no emotion whatsoever.

After separating the shrimp and crabs, proceed to the next batch.
