Chapter 177 Chapter 177 Flood
Fortunately, the examination results came out and both adults and children were in good condition, just needing some nutritional supplements.
Su Guizhi took on a job knitting sweaters and also bought some quick-cooking vegetable seeds to plant some vegetables on the balcony.
She has been farming since she was a child, and she also grows some onions and garlic at home, so she is quite experienced.
Vegetables are more expensive than meat these days. Even the most common bok choy costs 80 yuan per jin. Even if you grow it just for your family, you'll still save a ton of money.
Besides, staying at home can help me take care of Wei Lingyu. She is going to give birth in two months and needs someone to take care of her during this period.
He Junxia and Miao Yueze also found jobs successfully. To be more precise, it was Miao Yueze and Wei Mingjie who found jobs successfully.
They plan to work in a nearby shipyard. It is pure manual labor and requires no skills. The advantage is that the salary is not low, with a monthly salary of over ten thousand yuan.
As for He Junxia
He decided to become a freelancer.
Short name: fishermen
Su Guizhi was angry: "No, the sea is so dangerous, you have seen those fish eat people before."
He Juanxia touched her nose and said, "Mom, it's okay. I'll just be wandering around the coast."
The government has special fish purchasing points, and the purchase price of some rare fish is as high as several thousand yuan per kilogram.
Like the black bone shark they had seen before, its body was full of treasures.
Because of its special cortex, it has excellent hemostatic effect, and its meat can quickly replenish blood. The bone on the top of the head is very effective in treating tumors. It has been sold for 4,500 yuan per catty and is still in short supply.
Of course, the Blackbone Shark's lethality is also astonishing, justifying its high price.
Not only are its teeth as sharp as knives, the power stored in its tail can directly break human bones, and it also has a certain degree of intelligence.
It's like catching the fish, throwing the net into the boat and that's it. Don't even think about it. The fish in the other world will teach you a lesson.
Su Guizhi sternly refused: "That won't work either. If you dare to go, you won't recognize me as your mother anymore."
No mother wants to see her children take risks. It's not like their family can't survive and they have to do such dangerous work.
He Junxia touched her nose: "Mom--"
To be honest, he wanted to go out to sea and be a fisherman, not only because he could make more money fishing, but more because he wanted to fight with fish from another world.
He Junxia touched his nose again.
Maybe it's because he has lived too long, but since when, he has become more and more fond of challenging things and interesting new things.
Su Guizhi ignored her youngest son's cries. Miao Yueze looked at his younger brother and sighed. He also didn't understand why his younger brother insisted on doing such a dangerous job.
Not only is it dangerous, but there's no fixed salary. It all depends on the day's harvest. If the harvest is good, you earn a lot, but if the harvest is small, you earn less and even lose money.
Why bother?
There is a shortage of various medicines now, and there is no guarantee that there will be medicine to treat injuries.
He Junxia clasped his hands together and said, "Brother, please help me persuade Mom."
Miao Yueze sighed.
Ever since his brother came back from his internship, he has never asked me for help in such a pitiful way again.
But now I'm asking him for this kind of thing.
Miao Yueze looked into his brother's eyes and said seriously, "Xiaoxing, do you think rowing out to sea is very impressive and impressive?"
"That's not the case."
"Every day, many people go out to sea and never come back. Those who make a lot of money are only a minority among the minority."
"We don't ask our children to be rich and powerful, we just want our family to be safe and happy."
He Junxia lowered his eyes.
Unfortunately, he is not the real Miao Yuexing. He is a tasker of the Space-Time Administration and he has his own home.
There are only more than two months left before Wei Lingyu gives birth, and he can only stay in this world for a maximum of five years and two months.
He Juanxia raised his head: "Brother, do you think I'm such a naive person?"
Miao Yueze thought about it and felt that his previous guess was a bit unreasonable. He was not that kind of person.
"Then why do you want to go fishing?"
He Junxia's eyes showed a thirst for knowledge: "I'm very interested in those fish that suddenly appeared. I want to get close to them and observe and understand their habits."
Miao Yueze: ...
Miao Yueze rubbed his face, feeling somewhat helpless. Although it is said that being eager to learn is a good thing, this is too...
He Juanxia: "Brother, please help me persuade Mom. A good man has ambitions."
"Fang, you big-headed ghost. My parents are still here, so I won't travel far away."
He Junxia added: "When parents are still alive, one should not travel far away, and if one does travel, one must have a plan."
Miao Yueze rolled his eyes and didn't bother to talk to him, what a stubborn brat.
"Whatever you want."
*
No matter how much Miao Yueze and Su Guizhi disagreed, He Junxia still persuaded them.
The prerequisite is that he must first pass the free training course organized by the government, obtain a fishing qualification certificate, and earn at least 5,000 yuan per week without getting injured.
If you cannot meet these conditions, then go to the shipyard and work with Miao Yueze.
Of course, passing the fishing training class was a piece of cake for He Junxia. After seven days, he successfully obtained the fishing qualification certificate.
The morning of the eighth day
The sun was shining brightly and the weather was just right. He Junxia carried a folding boat to the sea near Kangyang City.
Everyone else was in groups of three or four, but he was alone, standing out quite conspicuously on the beach.
When he fully unfolded the folding boat, a two-meter-long boat appeared in front of everyone, and the sense of incongruity became even stronger.
An old man in a vest and shorts came forward and said, "Young man, are you going out to sea alone?"
He Junxia: "Yeah."
The old man advised: "It's too dangerous to be alone. You should at least find a companion so that you can take care of yourself when the time comes."
He Junxia: "Thank you for reminding me. I'll just walk around for a few laps."
The old man disagreed: "Young man, don't be so brave. Once the wind and waves start to blow, you won't be able to row by yourself..."
Before he could finish his words, the old man saw He Junxia pick up the boat with one hand and throw it into the water, splashing a lot of water.
grandfather:……
The old man shut his mouth silently. It seemed that the young man was quite capable. No wonder he dared to go out to sea alone.
He Junxia jumped onto the boat and paddled. The water near the shore was a little turbid, and it was difficult to see the situation underwater clearly.
He paddled forward for nearly a hundred meters before the water became clear and he could see the situation underwater clearly with his naked eyes.
However, there were already quite a few boats nearby, and the silverfish were attracted away by the bait they had spread, so He Junxia decided to change location.
He rowed a few hundred meters further and came to a patch of water plants, where there were only three small boats far apart.
He Junxia retracted the oars.
Various small fish swim and shuttle through the dark green water plants, among which silverfish are the most numerous.
Of course, they are also the fish with the least economic value. No one would want them even if they were given away for free. Moreover, they become ferocious when out of water and can easily hurt people.
But everything has two sides.
The small silver fish, which is not liked by humans, is the favorite of carnivorous fish such as black bone shark, white tip shark and thorn fish.
He Junxia spread bait near the boat, and soon a small group of silverfish were attracted.
He took out a scoop net and easily caught a dozen lively little silver fish.
The silk thread used to make the scoop net is made from the scales of another new species of fish. The small silverfish cannot bite through it with their sharp teeth, so they can only be caught by humans with hatred.
He Junxia skillfully threw all the silverfish into the water tank. Those carnivorous fish were very picky and only ate live silverfish.
Then, he quickly grabbed the small silverfish, cut it open, and took out the internal organs and blood.
Although carnivorous fish from another world do not like to eat dead fish, the viscera and spread of fish blood of small silver fish are good things to attract them.
He Junxia moved a little further away from the water plants, scattered the collected fish intestines and blood near the boat, and hung many lively little silver fish to flutter nearby.
The viscera and blood were very effective, and in less than five minutes fish appeared to the scent, their scales an alluring and mysterious deep purple in the clear water, and their tails had a round red spot.
Purple-tailed red grouper fish, the purchase price of live fish is 5 yuan/kg, and the purchase price of dead fish is 1 yuan/kg. The meat is chewy and similar to shrimp, and it is a common fish in Kangluo City.
The first meal He Junxia had when he arrived in Kangluo City was steamed purple-tailed red grouper.
This larger red grouper fish, estimated to weigh about twenty pounds, bit the small silver fish beside the boat in one bite.
He Junxia didn't hesitate and directly grabbed the fish's gills, lifted it onto the boat and threw it into the water tank.
Today's profit +100
However, the economic value of the purple-tailed red grouper is also very low, and He Junxia only caught one big one and one small one.
The larger one is placed in another tank, and the smaller one is used to attract other carnivorous fish.
After waiting for about ten minutes, He Junxia finally caught a few black and white sea bass with high economic value.
The pattern distribution of this fish is similar to that of a zebra, both of which are black and white. The fish gall can relieve cough and asthma, clear away heat and detoxify. The fish meat has a tender texture and a faint grassy flavor.
The purchase price of live fish is 45 yuan/kg and the purchase price of dead fish is 10 yuan/kg. In today's season of alternating cold and hot weather, the supply is in short supply.
These black and white sea bass are relatively small in size, weighing only about five pounds to the naked eye, but they are also of a catchable size.
Two black and white sea bass jumped up and bit the small silver fish tightly, and He Junxia immediately grabbed the fish's gills and lifted it onto the boat.
As soon as they got on the boat, the two fish struggled hard, their tails slapping the boat planks, and they rushed towards He Junxia with their sharp teeth like rakes.
"Snap" "Snap"
He Junxia used the bricks she had prepared in advance to give each of the two fish a head massage, with just the right amount of force without damaging their brains.
He Junxia threw the fish into the water tank, took out a few small silver fish as bait, and used a scoop net to catch another black and white sea bass that had surfaced and was ready to go.
Small silver fish have the habit of jumping out of the water.
Although scientific research has not yet analyzed the reason, this habit has led many carnivorous fish that feed on them to also develop the habit of jumping out of the water to hunt.
It is convenient for people who go out to sea to fish.
Today's earnings +337.5
He Junxia sprinkled some blood and internal organs of small silver fish onto the side of the boat. This is currently the most common way of fishing.
It’s not that no one knows how to fish with a fishing rod, but there are too many huge creatures underwater.
The newly emerged large fish will not surface to feed, but if a hook is cast, they will not mind taking a few bites of small whitebait to satisfy their hunger.
If someone therefore regards them as prey and tries to catch them on the boat using this method, they are completely wrong.
These giants from another world will swim up the fishing line, using their terrifying strength, hard scales and terrifying bite force to wake up anyone who underestimates their enemy.
The premise is that those people can still survive after falling into the water.
After dozens of such incidents, no one dared to fish from a boat with a fishing rod anymore.
Nowadays, only teams specializing in capturing giants dare to use this method, and casualties often occur.
He Junxia took a breath as he watched the huge black shadow swimming slowly under the boat. The fish's tail was even longer than his small boat.
He decided to change places.
