"Dad, how about we go take a look? If it's a rocky island that no one visits, we can find a lot of good stuff there."
Su Chenggong was also tempted. If no one had ever been there, the goods on the reef island would remain, and even if it was just some oysters, they would definitely be of good quality.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Su Dahai nodded. Anyway, anything could happen in a new place. The sea was here and couldn't be moved, but the things on the reef island were uncertain. If they didn't go there, other ships would come and see them and go to the island first.
When you go out to sea and see rocky islands, whoever sees them first owns them.
Su Dahai steered the boat over and chose a good spot to land on the island.
Su Chenggong and Su Chengguo both carried buckets of water and jumped up to climb first.
As soon as she went up, Su Chengguo started screaming.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god... they're all little green dragons!"
The reef island is small, only a few hundred square meters, and is high on all sides, but has a depression inside.
There was still a lot of seawater in this depression, and Su Chengguo saw that it was full of small green dragons as she climbed up from below.
This rocky island is like a bowl, and these little green dragons are the food in the bowl. Anyone who sees this would scream.
"My God, this, this must weigh over a hundred pounds!"
Su Chenggong climbed up and took a look, and he gasped, his blood rushing to his head. He was so excited.
"What are you standing there for? Arrest him!"
Su Dahai came up later and, upon seeing this, quickly patted his two sons.
The three men then went down together to catch the little green dragon.
These wavy-patterned baby green dragons can sell for two yuan per kilogram.
They don't have pincers, so they're easy to grab, but they're full of energy, frantically flapping their tails inside the bucket.
The father and his two sons had little experience dealing with this little thing, and before long they were all covered in seawater.
This needs to be packed in a bag.
So Su Dahai went back to the ship to get the bag.
The seawater touched my calves, and these things were still flexible. It took me two hours to catch them all.
Two whole bags.
"We've made a profit! This must be over 150 yuan, hehe. How should we cook this little lobster tonight? Steamed or salt-baked?"
Su Chengguo's mouth started watering at the thought of eating the baby lobster today.
"All you do is eat. I don't think anyone has ever been here before. The oysters on the rocky island are huge. Let's dig some up later."
Su Dahai took a breath, unable to stop smiling.
Today's harvest was another huge profit. His only frustration was that he couldn't have gotten the direction wrong today.
The three men carried the lobsters onto the boat and returned to the island to start digging for oysters.
Su Chengguo opened one and ate it.
"Wow, what a tiger! Aren't you afraid of parasites?"
Su Dahai frowned at the idea of eating raw food; he was rather old-fashioned and insisted on eating everything cooked.
He'd often heard others talk about eating raw food, but he wouldn't dare try it.
Su Chengguo said with a smile, "Dad, Big Brother, you should try it too. It tastes a bit strange, but it's delicious."
Su Chengguo was inspired to try the oysters on a whim. He couldn't quite describe the taste; it wasn't bad, but he wasn't used to it.
Seeing the disgusted looks on his older brother's and father's faces, he urged them to eat as well.
But Su Chenggong waved his hand and refused: "I'd rather go home and have my mom and the others cook it before I eat it."
Su Dahai also waved his hand; he couldn't accept it.
When they got hungry while digging, they ate some of the sugar cakes they had brought.
They've dug up almost the entire island; looking at the sky, it's well past noon.
These oysters weigh several hundred pounds each.
Today's harvest was very good.
As they were about to head back, Su Chengguo said, "Dad, we haven't cast the net yet today. Why don't we cast it and see?"
This is a sea area I've never been to before. I went ashore as soon as I saw the rocky island. I haven't even cast my first net yet.
"You come and do it."
Su Dahai looked at Su Chengguo and felt that the kid seemed to be very lucky. Today's first and last net was better left to him.
It's getting late, and there's not enough time for them to cast more nets. It will take more than an hour to get back, and they still need to sell all the goods.
Su Chengguo nodded, took the net, and cast it into the water.
"We had oysters and baby lobsters today. It would be great if we also had some mackerel. It would be so delicious to make pan-fried tofu stew."
Su Chengguo moved her lips and muttered something like a wish.
"I was wondering why we went off course today. There was a reason. When did your clothes get ripped? There's some fabric stuck here."
Su Dahai was checking the rudder, still bothered by the fact that he had gone off course.
Upon inspection, they found a piece of clothing the size of a thumbnail. Looking at the two sons, they noticed that Su Chengguo's sleeve had a tear.
"When did my clothes get torn? I didn't feel anything at all."
Su Chengguo looked annoyed. His clothes were torn, and he knew his wife would pull his ear when he got home.
"You're lucky, kid. If it were the Air Force today, I'd teach you a lesson."
Having found the reason, Su Dahai felt relieved.
Su Chengguo touched her nose: "If I could have a great harvest every time I tore my clothes, I would rather wear tattered clothes every day."
"Shall we try setting up the net?"
Su Chenggong patted Su Chengguo on the shoulder and said.
Su Chengguo nodded, and the two brothers cast their net together, quickly gathering their strength.
Seeing his two sons like this, Su Dahai couldn't help but peek over the screen, and then he exclaimed, "It's all over the internet again!"
"You little rascal, your mouth is blessed! You get whatever you want! It's all mackerel!"
Su Dahai was shocked. Su Chengguo had just muttered something, and he actually caught a lot of mackerel.
Each one looks very plump and juicy; I estimate they all weigh six or seven pounds.
Worried that the net would burst, Su Dahai immediately grabbed a landing net and stood guard nearby.
Fortunately, this time it was just a small tear, and he caught the few that fell out with a net.
Lively mackerel covered the entire deck and flowed into the cabin.
Su Chengguo collapsed to the ground, her arms trembling as she gasped for breath: "I'm so tired, so exhausted."
He wants to flood the internet when it's not flooding, but he can't handle it if it floods every time.
"Dad, should we cast another net?"
Panting, Su Chenggong looked at Su Dahai. He was so lucky today that he couldn't help but be greedy.
Su Dahai shook his head and said, "No need, we've had enough to eat and drink today. It's getting late to go back now, and they'll worry if we go any later."
In the past, Su Dahai would have refused to leave because of greed, but after experiencing that shipwreck, he has come to terms with it.
He's very lucky these days, but he wants to get home safely at the right time so his family won't worry.
Without hesitation, Su Dahai started the engine and returned to base.
After resting for a while, Su Chenggong and Su Chengguo began to sort through the mackerel caught in the net.
Six large barrels in total.
With the oysters and baby lobsters, I've made several hundred dollars today.
Upon arriving at the port, a familiar face approached them. It was Xiao Zhao, a worker from the fish-collecting company. Seeing them, he immediately greeted them with a smile: "Brother Liu said that your boat's delayed arrival must mean there's good cargo, and told me to wait here. Brother Liu was right! You guys are incredibly lucky!"
