Chapter 54: Going to Catch Blue Crabs



"What the hell, I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone this shameless."

"That's right, he caught it. He kept playing with the fish for over half an hour, and it was already asleep when I saw it."

"What are you talking about? If I were to come, I would be up in ten minutes. If you don't believe me, just give it a try."

"The person upstairs is very calculating."

The live broadcast room exploded again, and Liu Feng's behavior was condemned.

"Sister Xin, how much is this fish worth?" Zheng Shanshan asked her question.

"Normally, cat sharks weigh three or four kilograms and sell for about 150 to 160 yuan. This one weighs over ten kilograms, so I figured it shouldn't be a big deal to sell it for over 300 yuan."

Qiao Xin thought for a moment and replied that she found that she couldn't keep up with Zheng Gan's pace recently, and that the seafood was almost touching her blind spot in knowledge. It seemed that she needed to supplement it.

"Wow, isn't this pure profit? More than 3,000 a day, which is 90,000 a month. Fishing is so profitable." Zheng Shanshan's eyes were shining.

"You can't calculate it this way. How can we get this much every day?" Qiao Xin patted Zheng Shanshan's little head lightly.

Zheng Gan was stunned when he heard this, and silently calculated that it seemed that he could earn 30,000 yuan a day on average since he came back.

"Agan, I won't say anything else. Today is really a great experience for me. I will definitely support your sister-in-law's live broadcast room in the future. If you have the chance, you must come to my place and I will treat you well."

Liu Feng's face was beaming. His circle of friends was almost exploding with messages, and they kept ringing, all asking him where he caught the fish, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

"You're welcome, Brother Liu. Whenever you want to go fishing, just come to me. I guarantee you won't come back empty-handed." Zheng laughed dryly. Liu Feng was a down-to-earth man and quite interesting. He also wanted to make friends with him.

And when they came, they brought a lot of gifts.

"Brother, you are so generous. I will definitely make you my friend."

The three of them fished for a while and had a decent harvest. Zheng Gan's biggest catch was the cat shark. Although Liu Feng didn't catch any valuable fish, he did catch the most among the three. Lin Hao's catch was average, with a harvest of 1,800 yuan.

No one had lunch, and under Zheng Shanshan's protest, they had to stop here for the day.

We took today's catch and rushed to the county to have lunch and sell all the fish. We can't keep it for too long. If it's not fresh, the price won't be high.

All the catches were handed over to Wang Dongqiang. The cat sharks weighed a total of 12.3 jin, and the price was 320 yuan per jin, for a total of 3,936 yuan. Together with the other miscellaneous fish, the total amount was sold for 5,500 yuan.

Zheng Gan counted out the money that Liu Feng had sold and gave it to Liu Feng, but was rejected.

"What are you doing, brother? Stop playing tricks on me. You should give me money. I'm lucky enough that you brought me to such a Feng Shui treasure land. Put it away quickly. If you give me more, you'll be disrespecting me." Liu Feng was unhappy. In his eyes, happiness was more important than money.

Damn, rich dog!

In desperation, Zheng Gan could only put the money away, and Zheng Shanshan was drooling as she watched.

"Why, do you have any other ideas?"

"Hehe, it's also my contribution." Zheng Shanshan smiled.

"You're overthinking it. I'm lucky I didn't deduct your money." Zheng Gan rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "But if you want to get some credit, that's fine."

Zheng Shanshan was just joking originally, but she didn't expect the conversation to take such a turn?

"How to do it? Tell me and I might do it." Zheng Shanshan said anxiously. She was just an ordinary college student, and it would be great if she could earn some extra money.

"I'll take you guys out for some fun tonight. If you do a good job, I might consider giving you a commission." Zheng Gan tempted. He planned to catch blue crabs in the evening, but he didn't have enough manpower. Lin Hao needed to tie the crab legs, and it definitely wouldn't be enough for him and Qiao Xin alone. It would be better to let Liu Feng and Zheng Shanshan join in.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, brother. I will work hard tonight." Zheng Shanshan was fooled.

Qiao Xin pinched the soft flesh on Zheng Gan's waist subtly. She understood that Zheng Gan was looking for cheap labor.

......

After eating some fried skewers in the county, everyone took a quick stroll and then drove back to the village.

This time our destination is the muddy and sandy beach in the intertidal zone behind the mountain, which is where blue crabs gather.

Blue crabs are not easy to catch. If you want to catch blue crabs on the muddy and sandy beach, you need to prepare complete equipment. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. There are already many flying insects and mosquitoes on the beach. You must change into long-sleeved shirts and long pants and apply some toilet water, otherwise you will easily be bitten.

Then you also need to bring a small shovel. Blue crabs live in holes. Even if they come out to look for food at night, they still need to dig holes, which is also a test of physical strength.

"Brother, I have prepared two hundred crab ropes for tying crabs. Do you think that is enough?" Lin Hao said.

"Are you crazy? Do you think we can dig up 200? Even if we do, won't we be exhausted to death?" Zheng Gan was speechless. 200 blue crabs, what a sweet dream!

"Hehe, take it. It's better to be prepared, right? Maybe we will get lucky today, and there are two free laborers." Lin Hao was more confident than Zheng Gan, and pointed at Liu Feng and Zheng Shanshan who were putting on their equipment.

"Okay, let's pack up and go." Zheng Gan was too lazy to say anything more.

The group of five put on their equipment and headed towards the mudflats behind the mountain.

The habitat of blue crabs is generally in intertidal muddy beaches or mangroves. However, there may be snakes in the mangroves, which is not very safe, so it is better to go to the mudflats.

After about twenty minutes' walk, we arrived at the muddy and sandy beach behind the mountain.

"We must pay attention to safety. These blue crabs are usually in holes on the beach or under rocks. You must be careful. If you don't dare to take action, call me." Zheng Gan instructed.

Qiao Xin and Lin Hao are both veterans, so needless to say, Liu Feng and Zheng Shanshan are both catching them for the first time, so they cannot be careless.

The key point is that Zheng Gan’s map shows that there are a lot of red dots on the muddy beach, each one is very large, and there are even a dozen particularly large red dots. Zheng Gan is very excited now, because all this is money.

It seems that Lin Hao might really use all the crab ropes he brought.

"Yeah, don't worry." Zheng Shanshan took the lead and started working. Zheng Gan promised her that he would give her dividends according to the number of fish she caught.

"Sister Xin, you should follow her first." Zheng Gan said to Qiao Xin. Zheng Shanshan is a bit reckless.

Liu Feng, on the other hand, followed Zheng Gan obediently, intending to see what to do first.
