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

Are you serious?

Wu Anshun looked at Xiao Liu with suspicion. He had sealed off all the largest sardine fishing areas in Hai'an County.

Hai sent people to keep watch along the edge of Widow Sea, just in case, even though the islands and reefs of Widow Sea are not suitable for sardines to live on.

All these people were sent out to keep watch, but they didn't even see a single person?

"Brother, do you think Yang Bai and his crew might be fishing in other small sea areas?"

Xiao Liu asked.

Wu Anshun immediately shook his head.

"Unless he's stupid, the waters we're not monitoring either have few fish or require a lot of time to catch. In short, without fishing in the waters we're monitoring, even if he had five days, he wouldn't have caught 40,000 catties!"

Wu Anshun felt uneasy; Yang Bai couldn't possibly abandon a catch of 40,000 jin of fish.

There's only one conclusion: he knows a new place where sardines can be caught in large quantities.

"Go and ask the old fishermen by the sea where there are still places where you can catch a lot of sardines. Go quickly."

"Okay, big brother."

Xiao Liu nodded quickly, then turned and ran out.

Wu Anshun picked up a piece of raw beef and dipped it into the copper hot pot.

"Yang Bai, I refuse to believe you can go off and fish it out!"

......

maritime.

Following the map and compass, Chen Dahai sped off, and after arriving at the target sea area, he stepped out of the cabin.

Looking at the sea, I felt a pang of panic; sardines were floating on the surface.

Diatoms, in large patches of brown, appear to the naked eye as only a few silver scales occasionally churning on the surface of the sea.

There are hardly any sardines to be seen.

"What's going on? Are there really sardines here?"

But Yang Bai spoke with absolute certainty, saying that since they were already here, they might as well catch a few fish and see what happens.

He called to his men, "Lower the net! Cast it thirty meters deep and start retrieval!"

Chen Dahai wanted to test the waters little by little. Once the first net was caught, he would try to dig deeper with the second net, until it was suitable.

On Yang Bai's boat, Liu Dade also had doubts.

"Xiao Yang, I see seaweed all over the water, and I don't see many sardines."

The newly arrived fishermen were somewhat disappointed.

They all began to suspect that Yang Bai was deceiving them.

Based on the following number of sardines, it's unlikely that even by next year, we could catch 40,000 jin (20,000 kg).

Have you ever wondered why there are so many seaweed but not many sardines?

Yang Bai looked at the sea and asked in return.

Everyone shook their heads; how could they possibly know?

Yang Bai pointed down and said, "Because they're all down there, as I said before, we need to fish at a depth of 30 meters or less, using nets."

They were all stunned for a moment, feeling that Yang Bai's words were as if he hadn't said anything at all.

Where are the fish if they're not in the sea? The key question is how many there are.

The fishermen began to worry. If there were no sardines, would Yang Bai renege on his promise to pay them?

They started going online with a sense of unease.

The drift net was gradually lowered, stopping when the rope had descended more than thirty meters.

Everyone's hearts began to race.

Yang Bai steered the boat, slowly scooping up the fishing net in the sea, and the boat gradually sank as it rose in water.

The amplitude was small, but most of the people present were experienced fishermen who could sense it.

Their eyes gradually lit up, and while they were nervous, they prayed that they could catch two thousand catties of fish.

Two hours later, the net rope was very taut.

Yang Bai stopped the boat and shouted, "Begin hauling in the nets!"

As the net-hauling machine continued to pull in the nets, the fishermen on the boat were on tenterhooks.

This makes my heart beat faster than when my baby was born.

Splash!

The 2,000-pound net was lowered into the air by the crane.

Yang Jun pointed at the net and said, "You see, my older brother's words sound like bragging, but he never brags."

At this moment, all the fishermen on the boat were dumbfounded by the scene before them.

My mind was even more muddled than if I'd drunk fake alcohol.

They thought there were no sardines in the sea, but they ended up catching a basket that was 80% full of sardines!

While they were shocked, they were also extremely happy.

This net proves that Yang Bai was not lying; there really are a large number of sardines in the sea.

Ten thousand catties a day, forty thousand catties in two days.

If they actually achieve their goal, they will make a fortune and be rolling in money.

The fishermen unconsciously smiled broadly.

"Yang Bai is truly amazing! How did he know there were sardines down there?"

"That's amazing! If they could really catch 10,000 jin a day, wouldn't they be looking down on everyone when they got back?"

"I was worried that Yang Bai would break his promise, but now I can rest assured."

"Make big money by following Yang Bai."

......

Yang Bai used to be a gambling addict, an uneducated man, and a bully of his children in the village, but things have changed drastically in recent days. Now he is leading the villagers on the road to prosperity.

They don't know what triggered the change, but they are now truly seeing a new life.

A group of people were overjoyed.

Liu Dade shouted.

"Our goal for two days is 40,000 jin (20,000 kg). Does everyone have confidence?!"

The fishermen shouted in unison.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

This greatly boosted morale, and with a catch of 1,600 jin, 10,000 jin a day was just around the corner.

Then, all the fishermen set off, some picking fish and others setting their nets.

Yang Bai felt a warmth in his heart as he watched from outside the cabin.

On the other boat, Chen Dahai looked at the fishing net full of sardines and fell into deep thought.

He even started to suspect that Yang Bai was a fortune teller who could predict the location of sardines.

Every old fisherman who passes by has been at sea longer than him.

No other sea area he knows knows as many fish as he does.

But it was him who discovered two areas in the Widow Sea, found the location of the red-spotted fish, and even spotted the underwater sardines that the old fishermen passing by hadn't noticed.

A group of old fishermen who had lived at sea longer than he had lived had all drifted into outer space.

"Keep scooping! I want to see if we have enough for 20,000 jin!"

Chen Dahai, with his glasses squinted, plopped down in his seat, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Both ships started work simultaneously, casting their nets one after another.

Soon it was evening and the two ships met.

Chen Dahai came aboard Yang Bai's boat and gave Yang Bai a thumbs up.

"Xiao Yang, you're amazing! You even know there are sardines underwater. Tell me, where else do you know where there are big fish?"

Yang Bai nudged his stomach and said.

"These are my secrets to getting rich. Let me tell you where I make my fortune!"

"How many kilograms did your boat salvage today?"

Chen Dahai held up his fingers and made a nine.

"Over 9,100 jin (4,500 kg), how about you?"

Yang Bai extended a single word.

Chen Dahai's eyes widened in surprise.

"Ten thousand catties?!"

Yang Bai nodded slightly, "I'm more familiar with this area than you, so it's normal that I can retrieve these. We'll all sleep on the boat when we get back to shore today and continue retrieving tomorrow."

Both ships are small steel vessels of about ten tons, and carrying 10,000 jin (5,000 kg) is already the limit. We must go back and unload all the cargo before continuing tomorrow.

After the two ships sailed back...

The next morning, the cannery's transport and loading personnel came to count the sardines.
