Chapter 322 Small Yellow Croaker
Because Bei Rong vomited blood, the atmosphere in the courtyard was very tense. However, this had nothing to do with Jiang Wan, because she followed Lian Yue's raft to his breeding base early in the morning.
The tide just receded early today, so I could catch some sea at his island.
Also coming with them were Yinzhu, Xiaoman and their families. They were not here to chase the sea, but were hired by Lian Yue to work here.
The tide recedes for about two hours each time, so it is impossible for Lian Yue to clear out all the "invaders" on the island by himself.
If the cleaning is done one day later, more oysters will be eaten, so Lian Yue will spend money to hire a few good friends in the village to help clean the oysters from time to time.
Not only can you make money, you can also take the cleaned conchs and other items home. Many people in the village envy this job.
Yinzhu and Xiaoman greeted Jiang Wan and went about their own business. Jiang Wan walked around the island and saw that the oysters were growing well and the number of shelves they had built was increasing.
It is winter now, which is the time when oysters are plump and juicy. The next few months will also be the best time to taste oysters. It would be a pity to just use them to make oyster sauce. We should grill them and sell them, which will definitely make money.
She suggested it to Lian Yue, who was tempted but refused.
"Xiao Wan, you know that I'm the only one in my family who can do heavy work. Now I'm already spending all my energy just looking after this place. I'm too busy to run a barbecue stall. If you have an idea, just come to my place and pick up oysters. I'll give you half price."
Jiang Wan waved her hands repeatedly.
She was already busy with her own affairs, and she didn't want to set up another stall.
Besides, it is not easy for Lian Yue to run this oyster farming. The whole family depends on the oysters to make money and eat. She is embarrassed to take advantage of Lian Yue at half price.
"I'm not interested, but if any of my friends want to do it, I'll introduce them to buy oysters from you at the same price as outsiders."
The two talked and walked around the island again.
They picked up a lot of small fish and shrimps, but nothing big. Lian Yue was not very busy at the moment, so he took Jiang Wan to row the raft and cast the net in the surrounding sea.
Jiang Wan was a lucky girl, and fishing with her was always a pleasant surprise. Lian Yue simply handed the fishing net to Jiang Wan and let her cast the net.
"The fishing net on my raft is the smallest one, so you can definitely cast it. Just let me cast it out and I'll pull it up later."
Jiang Wan was full of excitement. After arriving here, she often went fishing and rowed the boat, but she really didn't do much to cast the fishing nets.
Now holding a fishing net in her hand, she can't wait to try her luck.
But she had a feeling in her heart that now was not the right time to cast her net.
"Brother Lian Yue, let's head east. There were seabirds chasing us just now. Maybe there are schools of fish there."
Lian Yue obediently rowed the raft over.
At first, there were only a few seabirds flying overhead, but after half a cup of tea, there were seven or eight more.
Now, without Jiang Wan telling him, he knew there must be a school of fish nearby. He just didn't know what kind of fish it was.
It would be a shame to catch a bunch of small fish.
Small fish are the most common. They are small in size and have many bones. Their price is at the bottom among fish.
It is not pleasant to eat whether steaming or boiling, but it is better to fry it in oil until the fish bones are crispy, then it will taste very delicious.
However, most people would not be willing to use oil to fry fish except during festivals, so the price of the fish cannot be increased.
Lian Yue saw that Jiang Wan was about to throw the net out, so he immediately concentrated and prayed to the gods to bring him some good fish.
After the net was cast, he took over. When he started to pull it in, he was suddenly delighted based on his previous experience in fishing.
Because he could feel that there was a lot of goods in the fishing net.
As the fishing net was pulled up little by little, the golden color under the sunlight almost blinded him.
Golden yellow!!!
Oh my goodness, could it be a yellow croaker?
Oh no, that's so stupid, how can a big yellow croaker come to the shallow sea waters? It should be a small yellow croaker!

I can't even express how happy I am. Although small yellow croaker is not as valuable as big yellow croaker, it is much more valuable than ordinary small fish.
At the dock, a pound of it can be sold for about ten cents.
Jiang Wan also discovered that there were small yellow croakers in the fishing net, and her saliva was watering.
The yellow croaker is tender and delicious, with only one main bone and very little fishy smell. Even children who don't like fish can eat a few more bites if it is steamed.
The most delicious thing is fried fish. A little bit of oil and salt can make the small yellow croaker become extremely delicious.
She and her mother love to eat.
I'm really lucky today~
Lian Yue continued to pull the fishing net upwards, mentally estimating the number of small yellow croakers in the net.
If you measure it by hand, it must be at least 40 kilograms!
Jiang Wan is a girl who is really lucky.
Although she had the money to catch this one net of fish, she would be happy even without the money if she could catch a school of fish in one net.
If anyone in a fishing village encounters a school of fish while fishing, he can brag about it in the village for several days.
Last time, Lianqiao was on display in the village for quite a while.
Ahem…
It was difficult to catch the fish at sea at the moment, so Lian Yue concentrated on pulling up the fishing net and returned directly to the island.
