In the end, Miao Xiuying and Lu Jianguo failed to catch the coconut crab. Instead, their hands were swollen from being pinched. Fortunately, no bones were broken.
Jiang Yan took out the small medicine box she brought with her and applied some swelling and pain-relieving medicine to them. She told them, "Don't touch water when you go back. This medicine will probably reduce the swelling in two days. I told you not to worry about it. You still don't believe me. Now you know how powerful the coconut crab is, right?"
The main reason is that the coconut crab is huge and most people cannot hold it down. It’s because the original owner was born with supernatural powers and has the blessing of the spiritual spring water in the space. How could the coconut crab be her opponent?
Miao Xiuying grimaced in pain, but she was still grinning, "Isn't this new? Now I've learned my lesson. I will never touch coconut crab again.
I'm going to have a big meal when I get home to make up for all my losses. I lost at least three pounds from running today."
Yes, the coconut crab moved very fast. She ran so fast that she was out of breath and almost suffocated and died.
Lu Jianguo was even worse off than her. The butt seam of his pants was torn, causing him to walk with a limp, which was very awkward.
Miao Xiuying laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back: "I told you, your old bones, to just stay away and be at ease, but you didn't believe me. Now it's okay, your pants are torn, and you don't have a pair to change into, so just wear them, we have to go back anyway."
Nian A'niang invited them into the cabin and prepared some simple meals, which they made do with the dry food that Jiang Yan brought.
Then they slowly sailed back. Looking at the seafood in the cabin, Jiang Yan felt a great sense of accomplishment. This trip was profitable.
So, she said to Miao Xiuying: "Mom, let's send these hundreds of kilograms of hairtail to the purchasing station! As for the small blue dragon top-grade abalone and so on, we can deal with them ourselves!"
Miao Xiuying knew that she had her own considerations and nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Abalone and small blue dragon can also be sold for a lot of money, so she can't be too greedy. The most important thing is that she has opened top-quality pearls.
Nian A'niang's hands were sore from driving, so Nian A'die took her place. She fished out the bottles and jars that had been thrown down before, and she got quite a few.
The small jars were packed with small octopuses, while the big jars contained large octopuses weighing seven or eight kilograms. The large octopuses also had a few groupers tied to their hands.
This is really an unexpected gain.
Nian A Niang smiled from ear to ear: "I've been out to sea for so many years, and this is the first time I've had such good luck."
She asked Lu Yan and Lu Li to clean up together. All of today's problems were blamed on the Lu family.
After all, the Lu family doubled the wages. They were the most generous family she had ever seen.
On the way back, he met many familiar fishermen. An experienced one saw his boat sinking and joked, "Hey, Lao Nian, you had a good catch. Are you going back so early? I had bad luck today. I only caught a blue shark weighing over 100 kilograms."
Nian Adie did not answer his question directly, but complimented him: "Your luck is unmatched. I haven't caught a blue shark in the past few months."
Blue sharks can be eaten now, and in the next 20 years, they will be listed as protected animals.
Jiang Yan listened to their arguing and drank the tea that Lu Li brought her, looking very relaxed.
The return journey was not far. Looking at the blue sea and the seabirds flying in the sky, and thinking of her lover who was sweating on the battlefield, Jiang Yan felt extremely satisfied.
Instead of going to the small fishing village, they drove the boat to the port and delivered the hundreds of kilograms of hairtail to the purchasing station.
The price of hairtail is not high now, only 30 cents per catty. I made a total of 183 yuan from 610 catties.
I bought eight small green dragons in a bucket and made fifty yuan, which is a relatively expensive price.
Jiang Yan grabbed three of the remaining two buckets and gave them to Nian A-mei, who waved her hand and refused: "Sister-in-law, we often eat this, you can take it back!"
No matter what Jiang Yan said, she just didn't want it. Nian A'mei also felt that Jiang Yan was too polite.
"You've paid us double the usual wages. If you tell anyone, we'll be taking advantage of you. Sometimes you can't earn that much even if you go out to sea for a whole day. Don't pay us, or we'll feel even worse and won't dare take you out to sea in the future."
Well, seeing that they insisted on not wanting it, Jiang Yan didn't force them. Anyway, she had already taken the opportunity to throw a lot of food into her space, and she could eat the lively little green dragon again next year.
As for the octopus, hairy shrimp, squid and so on, I plan to clean them, dry them and send them to the boss of Yun Province and Lu Jiandang after returning, so that they can taste the specialties of the island.
Lest you forget about them just because you come here to catch seafood.
The old couple were so busy that they had no time to rest, but they never complained at all.
Lu Jiandang was still mumbling to Zhang Yulan during the meal: "Look at this kid, he's been on the island for a few months, and he doesn't have a wedding. Is my eldest brother going to rush over to get him married?
Why didn't he send me some wedding candy so that I can share in the good fortune? Am I not good to him? He is half her father after all. This ungrateful little bastard is making me so angry."
As he spoke, he ate with big mouthfuls, which made Zhang Yulan speechless.
