Fate is truly amazing. A person's future is indeed unpredictable. Of course, a person's destiny depends on their own efforts, but the course of history must also be taken into account.

For example, in the past, when there were plenty of fish in the sea, leading a fleet and becoming a top performer was definitely a competitive endeavor. Everyone would fight for that position.

But in the current environment, with no fish or shrimp in the vast ocean, our ships will most likely lose money. At this time, no one wants to lead the fleet, let alone be a leader.

Li Dahai had almost begged Lu Wuyai in a certain field to let him go to sea with him.

Under such circumstances, what could Lu Wuyai say? He could only reluctantly agree to try sailing on a ship belonging to Li Dahai Island.

So the next day, after he returned, he didn't rest much. Li Dahai, Li Qianpan, and Li Mubing boarded a fishing boat and went out to sea with him.

His pockets were full, but in a certain area of ​​Li Dahai Island, their money was poorer than their faces, and their bank cards were emptier than their cabins.

Having no other choice, Lu Wuyai had no choice but to agree to take them out to sea immediately to see if they could find a way for everyone to make some money, at least enough to solve the problem of food and drink for their wives and children.

Lu Wuyai was squatting at the bow of a fishing boat at sea, while Li Dahai and two others were busy working. He was waiting for them to finish packing before setting off.

Before the three of them could finish their work, Li Zhibing called: "Boss, someone came to buy loach and eel from you. They said their surname is Liao and that they were introduced by a leader named Du Lei."

Lu Wuyai suddenly realized that this must be the rich man Du Lei had mentioned.

So he turned around and said, "Uncle Guo, you pack up first, I'll go to the new building. Call me when you're done, let's go."

"Alright, Captain, you can go now," Li Dahai said in a low voice from a certain area of ​​the island.

Lu Wuyai smiled slightly: "What do you mean by 'dragon head' and 'tail'? We'll still call them two ships. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Just call me Yangzi."

Li Dahai, speaking seriously about a certain area of ​​the island, said, "This won't work. We must have rules, we must have rules when we go to sea. As the old saying goes, without rules, there are no rules..."

Li Mubing said, "Yang Zi, just listen to Uncle Da Guo. Trust me, Uncle Da Guo can beat someone to death if he starts talking."

"What Yangtze? In the future, it will be called the Dragon Head at sea," Li Dahai cursed in a certain field.

Li Mubing gave a military salute: "Yes, Dragon Head."

"One less grinning face." Li Dahai frowned as he looked at a certain area.

As Lu Wuyai left, Li Qianpan said sullenly, "Brother Daguo, don't take it so seriously. There are four of us and one more Dragon Head Raising."

Li Dahai, speaking with a straight face, said, "If we want to ride on someone else's ship, we have to abide by the rules of the sea. Tell me, why would a human trafficker take us away? He doesn't owe us anything. If we don't treat him as our leader, he can abandon us at any time."

Li Mubing said, "Oh, I see. You're using your status to stall him."

Li Dahai shook his head at a certain point: "No, there's no need to play pranks in a small local village. But Yang Zi definitely has the ability. It's not surprising that there are many polite people. It's not a bad thing for us to be polite to him."

Li Ganpan pondered for a moment and then said, "Yes, that's exactly it."

Lu Wuyai strode towards the east of the village, where several people were waiting at the entrance.

As soon as Li Zhibing saw Lu Wuyai at the door, he waved and said, "Boss, here you go."

After hearing the old man's words, a fair-skinned middle-aged man immediately walked up to him, extended his hand, and said, "Hello, you are Mr. Lu Wuyai. My name is Liao Laixi. Officer Li Lei recommended that I buy you loach and eel."

Lu Wuyai shook hands with him warmly: "Hello, Mr. Liao, how much do you want?"

He glanced at them and recognized one of them as a familiar face: Li Zhiyi's beautiful granddaughter, Mao Min.

Mao Min clearly recognized him first, and the girl felt embarrassed and kept her head down.

Liao Laixi, unaware of the story between the two, simply said, "The output is not a problem with the same ten kilograms."

Lu Wuyai shook his head: "Loach is no problem, but there aren't that many rice paddy eels, at most five catties of rice paddy eels."

"That's five jin." Liao Laixi nodded.

Lu Wuyai said, "Okay, but I don't know if Officer Li Lei told you that my things are more expensive. Loach is 151 catties and eel is 501 catties."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people stared in astonishment.

A young man exclaimed instinctively, "Five hundred and one jin! My God, wild eels aren't that expensive! Your price is outrageous!"

Lu Wuyai understood his thoughts and laughed, "It's really expensive. Lobsters on the market are about this price now, right? Wild eels are only a hundred yuan per catty, right?"

The boy nodded: "Yes, your prices are outrageous."

Lu Wuyai smiled and said, "I can only say that this item is worth the price. I have already clearly marked the price here. Think about it carefully. If you don't want to buy it, no one will force you."

Liao Laixi asked, "Young man, could you give me a discount?"

Lu Wuyai shook his head: "I'm telling the truth, really, everyone, I won't kill you."

“This won’t kill us,” Mao Min said, dissatisfied.

Lu Wuyai smiled and said, "If I force you to buy, that would be like killing you. But I won't force you. And if you really buy, you can try it out. Then you'll understand my price."

The guy said, "Manager, let's not buy it. Minmin's relative is the island owner here, he must know which store is cheaper. Let's go to another one."

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Lu Wuyai.

This wasn't a provocation, but a reminder. He wanted to tell Lu Wuyai that he wasn't being taken advantage of, but rather that someone was a relative who knew the local island owner.

Lu Wuyai shrugged and said, "Besides my family, loach and rice paddy eel are very cheap throughout the town. However, the taste and effects are definitely different from mine."

Liao Laixi frowned and immediately called Mao Min.

After a while, Li Zhijie appeared.

Mao Min recounted the situation at the time, and Li Zhiyi was astonished to hear that there were 150 catties of loach and 500 catties of eel. "Making your child a shrewd merchant is a good idea."

Lu Wuyai ignored him. At this moment, Li Dahai walked up to him from another field: "Boss, we're all packed. When do we leave?"

"Let's go." Taking this opportunity, Lu Wuyai slipped away, leaving Li Zhibing with the words: "The price is the price I set, there is no other price."

Li Zhibing nodded honestly: "Hey, boss, I understand."

Li Zhijie stopped him and asked, "What did everyone call you just now?"

Lu Wuyai felt awkward being called 'leader', so he pretended not to understand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Dahai calmed himself down and said, "Island Master, Yangzi is sailing my ship out to sea; he's my boss now."

Li Zhijie couldn't help but laugh: "Leader. Damn, Yangzi, you really surprised me today."

He paused, then continued, "Yang Zi, being a leader and leading a fleet sounds awe-inspiring, but you need to understand that you're not leading a chicken or a puppy, but a person with an open mouth."

"If you can hold on, these mouths will call you the dragon head; if you can't, these mouths will eat you up."

Lu Wuyai waved his hand and said, "I know, Island Master. Thank you for your concern. Goodbye."

He left easily, and Mao Min was very anxious: "Second Master, I called you here to negotiate the price, you..."

Li Zhijie snapped out of his daze and said, "Hey, hey, Yang Zi..."

Lu Wuyai walked faster than he ran.

Whether it's eel or loach, the price is extremely high, ridiculously high.

But Lu Wuyai didn't think it was excessive. The eels and loaches he raised were fed with golden drops, and he would eat them himself. Their meat was more beautiful and even had medicinal effects.

He usually eats loach, but he doesn't dare to eat eel, and he feels uncomfortable every time he eats it at night.

If he were eaten by the little count (dog), the village scoundrels would be very sad.

If Jindi had fish raised elsewhere, no matter what kind of fish it was, even the cheapest grass carp, he would be willing to buy it at that price.

Because his eyes cannot be fixed on the spring, he could easily miss the golden droplets flowing from it.

When the gold droplets are in the spring water, they will not dissolve into the water. However, when they flow out and are exposed to sunlight, they will quickly dissolve into the spring water and be absorbed by loaches and eels.

In his opinion, this might be the only one of its kind in the world, and its price is definitely not excessive.

After boarding, he started the engine, and the fishing boat rocked and broke through the waves, heading against the wind.

Both ships have radios; after adjusting the frequency signal, you can contact them via walkie-talkie.

As they left the port one by one, Li Dahai's voice came through the radio: "Boss, every time you go out, you rely on a yacht. Tsk, tsk, that's too expensive."

Gu Yuxin picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "I want to change to a different fishing boat. I want to change to a different fishing boat. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Kiki, Kiki, I heard you very clearly."

“I plan to buy a fishing boat, but I don’t have enough money. I plan to buy a second-hand one, but I haven’t found a suitable one yet.”

Going out to sea with a few people is more comfortable. What Lu Wuyai fears most at sea is loneliness and solitude. Time passes much faster when he has villagers to chat with.

About a kilometer after the fishing boats set sail, Lu Wuyai began to circle the sea.

Li Dahai, a member of a certain team, was completely baffled and asked, "Boss, what are you doing? Are you looking for traces of prey?"

Lu Wuyai laughed and said, "No, I'm looking for a fish. Just wait and see. This is my secret. Don't go back and tell anyone, or we'll be enemies in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Dahai and the three people from the same field quickly shook their heads: "Absolutely not, absolutely not."

What he said earlier was correct. Lu Wuyai is now the most prestigious and respected person in the local village. Everyone in the village knows that as long as you go online with him, your life will definitely be better. Now everyone is too busy trying to please him to want to be his enemy.

Under the curious gaze of the three, the fishing boat sailed on the sea for a while before suddenly heading into the deep sea.

This made the three very curious: "Leader, what is your secret?"

Lu Wuyai switched the boat to autopilot, then, as usual, grabbed the lifebuoy with a rope, put it on, and entered the sea.

Soon, the tiger's sickle-shaped dorsal fin surfaced.

“Damn shark,” Li Qianpan exclaimed in shock.

The baby killer whale chased after Lu Wuyai all the way, and when it caught up, it jumped out of the water.

Lu Wuyai, who was laughing, suddenly changed his expression: "Don't do that."

With a loud "bang," the golden mountain and jade pillar were pushed aside, and Lu Wuyai, along with his lifebuoy, was thrown into the sea.

Upon seeing the tiger leaping out of the water, the well-informed Li Dahai exclaimed in a certain field, "It's not a shark, it's a killer whale, a killer whale!"

Li Qianpan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, this is an orca. I saw people selling orca meat in Hongliu Town a few years ago. They said the meat was delicious, and then they were arrested by the government."

The baby orca was waiting for Lu Wuyai. It was still young. Young orcas are very playful, like babies. They spend half the day playing with their kind.

The tiger can't find any of his kind anymore, so he can only play with Lu Wuyai.

After being knocked into the water, Lu Wuyai was about to surface when he looked down at the seabed and found a muddy area.

Some yellowish-green seaweed grows in the silt on the seabed and then slowly floats to the surface, with small seashells scattered among the seaweed.

The water here isn't very deep, only about ten meters.

Gu Yuxin broke free of the lifebuoy and dived into the water, picked up a small seashell, and examined it carefully.

This thing looks a bit like a clam, rectangular in shape with an oval shell, about the size of a lentil, and snow-white in color. It feels hard to the touch, and the surface looks like it's been carved, with some spiral lines.

After a cursory look around, he emerged from the water with a few shells in his hands.

The three people on the island of Aoda at sea were stunned. They turned off the engine of their fishing boat and looked at the sea in panic:

"Damn, where's the tap?"

"The orca just jumped up and fell back into the water. Does that mean orcas don't kill people?"

"It's over, it ... now."

The three were thrown into chaos. Li Dahai took off his clothes in a certain area, intending to go into the sea, but Li Qianpan quickly stopped him: "Brother Dahai, what are you doing?"

"What else can we do but go down and look for them?"

"There's an orca underwater. They say it doesn't attack people, but it's attacking the dragon's head now. Are you going down there to die?"

The three of them delayed again and again, and Lu Wuyai finally floated up from the sea.

Under the watchful eyes of the three men, he remained motionless, gradually rising to the surface of the sea, and finally sat cross-legged on the water.

All three of them were stunned.

The taciturn Ou Muming rubbed his eyes hard and blurted out instinctively, "Damn it, wife, come out and meet God."

"Where is your wife from?" Li Qianpan turned around and asked.

Li Dahai patted him on the shoulder in a certain area and shouted, "Is this the important point? The important point is, it is! The orca is right below him."

When Lu Wuyai tried to float up, the tiger used its round head to support his buttocks from below, pushing him out of the water like a ball.

Seeing this, he simply moved his legs away, because the orca's head is very smooth, and if he didn't cross his legs, he would easily slip down.

After surfacing, he swam back to the fishing boat, turned off the autopilot, and then waved to a group of people on the island of Ao Da.

As the two ships approached, Li Dahai and his two companions remained expressionless: "Boss, what happened to the orca?"

Lu Wuyai said with a smile, "I rescued a little guy, and it has been following me ever since."

The three of them wanted to ask more questions, but Lu Wuyai didn't give them a chance. He just threw what he was holding at them and said, "Listen, we were very lucky on this voyage."

A few small seashells landed on the boat. Li Dahai looked at a certain area and immediately became excited: "Dragon head, mud snail. This is a mud snail."

Lu Wuyai nodded: "Yes, they are mud snails. I found a group of mud snails down there."

Yes, the shellfish he saw earlier were mud snails.

The name "mud snail" sounds a bit rustic. Its scientific name is *Tutie*, a type of mollusk. It has a long history of being eaten in a certain area of ​​a certain island, with records of its consumption dating back to the Song Dynasty.

Its name is Earth, but its value is not Earth. This type of shellfish has a very small yield, exists only in the wild, and is not farmed. Its value remains high in the market, selling for several hundred yuan per kilogram.

The reason why the price is so high is that most of the buyers of mud snails are not ordinary people, but hotels, especially high-end hotels.

This relates to the way mud snails are eaten. Mud snails are best eaten pickled. Let them purge the sediment first, then pour in wine. After pickling, it's a great side dish with wine.

Mud snails are purchased and pickled by major hotels and served as appetizers, especially high-end dishes, and are very popular.

The three men on the boat were immediately excited when they discovered mud snails on the seabed.

Li Qianpan took off his clothes and asked Lu Wuyai, "Dragon Head, how deep is it here?"

"Go see for yourself." Li Dahai got impatient at a certain point, so he simply took off his clothes and bent down to jump into the water.

Lu Wuyai understood his feelings perfectly. If he were burdened with so much debt and hadn't harvested for days, and suddenly discovered a group of mud snails, he would be incredibly excited.

Back on the boat, he took out a diving suit and handed it to Li Mubing, who was about the same size as him: "Brother Bin, put this on and go into the water."

Without these people, he could collect mud snails by hand in the water. But since there were people in front of him, he couldn't be too conspicuous.

However, everything has two sides. After bringing his subordinates in, he had to hide some of his secrets, but he also happened to have time to rest. According to the rules at sea, leaders don't work.

After discovering the habitat of mud snails on the seabed, the three of them put on diving suits, put on small net bags, and jumped into the water to start diving and collecting mud snails.

Lu Wuyai checked that his phone still had a signal, so he called Land Rover.

After hanging up the phone, Land Rover laughed and said, "Brother Yang, what's wrong with you? I just caught a batch of silver pomfret yesterday, and now I've caught something good again. Really, you're the Dragon King's son-in-law."
