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

It took half a day to scoop up all eighty crab traps.

There were 412 jin of green lobsters, 317 jin of green crabs, and the remaining 471 jin were all miscellaneous shrimp and crabs.

Even these picky dishes can end up on the dinner table of regional leaders.

Yang Bai came to the deck and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's good. All that's left is abalone. Let's raise these shrimp and crabs."

Shrimp and crabs are much easier to keep than red grouper; they can survive for three or four days in seawater without oxygen.

After raising shrimp and crabs.

Yang Jun and Liu Dade jumped into the sea to dig for abalone.

Yang Bai, on the other hand, was drinking tea on the boat, not because he was lazy.

There must be someone left on the ship at sea, and Yang Bai, being the best at sailing, the most knowledgeable in first aid, and an excellent swimmer, is naturally the one who should stay on the ship.

Abalone live year-round on hard reefs and rocky cliffs, and prefer uneven surfaces.

Such areas can be found almost everywhere in the Widow Sea region.

Therefore, Widow's Sea is a place where abalone are abundant. The water here is so clear that two people can see the abalone clearly while floating on the sea.

Liu Dade was shocked when he saw that most of the abalone had at least three heads.

"Any few of these could be pried off and served at a state banquet!"

This statement is by no means an exaggeration.

One-head abalone is the finest among abalone.

A single bird can weigh up to one pound.

Two abalones per catty (two heads) are the next best, followed by three abalones per catty (three heads)

No matter how many times you eat it, two-headed and three-headed abalone are still top-quality.

Fishermen can only catch abalone with eight heads, and if they're lucky, they might find a five-headed abalone.

Abalone, which others might not find even once in a year, is everywhere here.

Liu Dade picked up the iron pry bar used to pry open abalone, dived into the sea, and began to pry open the abalone.

Yang Bai went up to the deck to observe.

The two had to come up for air every twenty minutes or so, and the salty seawater made their eyes sting.

Liu Dade, needless to say, said that fishermen who had been around for many years were already used to it.

Yang Jun, on the other hand, needed to climb up and rest for a while before diving down again.

Yang Bai pursed his lips, knowing that he would still need to pry open abalone when building the abalone farm in the future.

"It's time to get professional equipment; we can't let our brothers suffer."

The two quickly finished a basketful and climbed up the ladder step by step onto the deck of the steel ship.

Yang Jun placed a full basket of abalone on the deck and simply sprawled out on it.

"Brother Yang, my eyes are sore."

Liu Dade put down his basket and laughed, "Eye strain is also a way to build muscle."

Yang Jun patted Liu Dade's thigh.

"I suspect you're talking nonsense."

Yang Bai brought a basin full of fresh water to him. "Xiao Jun, get up and wash your eyes to relieve the discomfort. Lao Liu, yours is in there."

"Brother Yang is still the best to me."

Yang Jun slowly got up and quickly washed his eyes clean.

Yang Bai weighed the abalone, and Yang Jun, being strong, ate two hundred catties of it.

Liu Dade was less strong than Yang Jun, but he still managed to pry open 180 jin (50 kg), and each abalone inside was at least two heads long.

"It seems you've put a lot of thought into your selection?"

Liu Dade wiped his body with a towel and said, "Of course. When regional leaders come over for dinner, you can't just leave without giving them gifts. You'll definitely have to pry good ones off to them."

Yang Jun raised his hand, "That's what I think too."

Yang Bai nodded slightly.

"Everything is ready. You can do whatever you want now. We'll go back first thing tomorrow morning."

Because we need to keep the red-spotted fish here, we must at least ensure that the fish are still alive tomorrow.

I can't go back for now; I have to stay until tomorrow morning.

Even in the worst-case scenario where all the seafood dies, it can be caught immediately to replenish the supply.

I caught three more nets of fish in the afternoon when I had some free time, and then I played cards until I fell asleep in the evening.

The next day, before dawn.

Everyone get up.

They scooped up the red spot to check its condition, and thankfully, it had a 60% chance of surviving.

The remaining 40% will be kept frozen with ice, and when we get ashore, we'll sell them along with yesterday's three nets of fish.

Keep the red-spotted plants in a water tank.

The ship began to leave the Coral Sea.

Seven o'clock, on the shore.

Jiang Xinmin stood on the deck of the steel ship, a deck he had secured by working tirelessly for the aquatic products company.

There were only a few scattered water tanks on the deck.

Fishermen from the surrounding village and younger members of the team all praised Jiang Xinmin.

"Wow, Boss Jiang is amazing. He finished the order in just one night."

"Yes, unlike Yang Bai. I haven't seen his boat since yesterday. Could it be that he's lost?"

"Him? He's just a lucky kid."

"What if you can't find it and have to cry and go home to your mom?"

The entire audience erupted in loud laughter.

Jiang Xinmin was so flattered by the people at the scene that he felt like he was floating on air.

He waved his hand as if he were truly invincible in the world.

"That brat Yang Bai, he still wants to take it from me."

Don't worry, everyone. When I get the order from the city's cannery, you'll all benefit.

I will then press Yang Bai for directions to the Widow Sea.

Let's all get rich together! Let's make a fortune!

Everyone cheered in unison.

They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Ever since they saw Yang Bai making a fortune, they had been so jealous that they were going crazy.

No one wants to miss out on a share of the widows' sea.

If you hand it over to Jiang Xinmin, that "generous" big fool, anyone can get a piece of the pie and a drink of the soup.

Hou Sanli rode over on his bicycle and saw them gathered in a circle. He coughed twice.

"Ahem, what are you guys talking about? Tell me about it."

They immediately stopped talking; everyone knew that Manager Hou was on Yang Bai's side.

Jiang Xinmin, however, was not afraid at all. In his view, Yang Bai would be finished after today, and Hou Sanli would have to turn around and lick his boots.

"Manager Hou, we were just talking about Yang Bai, and I was wondering, it's been over a day since we last saw him. What if he didn't get anything, or maybe he's already gone to the Dead Sea?"

A hint of feigned worry lingered on his face.

Hou Sanli's face darkened instantly.

"Jiang Xinmin, shut your mouth, or I'll fire you!"

"Fire me? You'd better ask my men first! Besides, if Yang Bai doesn't really get anything today, you'd better think carefully about whether you want to offend me!"

Jiang Xinmin shouted defiantly.

Hou Sanli pointed at Jiang Xinmin on the boat.

"You! Fine, fine, after today I'll see if you can still be so arrogant!"

He believed in Yang Bai.

But Jiang Xinmin has too much influence in the aquatic products company, so it would be easy to get rid of him.

The most important thing is to get rid of him and trigger a strike by the fishermen, which would cripple the seafood company.

So now is not the time to tear off all ties.

Just then, the roar of a ship sailing by could be heard.

They looked back and saw Yang Baigang's steel boat.

Hou Sanli smiled slightly; he had indeed arrived.

Jiang Xinmin's eyes were full of disdain; all his goods had been prepared according to the requirements.

Yang Bai, what makes him think he can win?
