In no time, Bai Yu's plastic bucket was full of his harvest, and the nets hanging from his waist were also filled with various kinds of catch.
The net was filled with crustaceans, which didn't have much meat on them, but they were quite heavy.
With four or five nets hanging around his waist, Bai Yu's pants would sag down with every step he took, making each step extremely difficult, as he was afraid that if he took too big a step, the nets would break his belt!
However, he was just too lucky today. Even though the nets were making him uncomfortable, he didn't want to send them back before they were full.
Now everything is full, and Bai Yu has no choice but to go back, since there's nowhere to put the things he catches.
"Yueyue, Ahai, how did you two haul? I'm already full, I need to go home first!"
"Brother Yu, I've almost finished packing. Let's go back together."
"Brother, Hai-ge, how come you guys are so lucky? I've been busy for half a day and I've only filled half of the plastic bucket, not to mention the net bag, there's hardly anything there!"
Why don't you and Hai go back first, brother? I'll keep looking here and you can come back later.
Bai Yu's question received two answers: Wang Hai could share Bai Yu's luck value, and his beachcombing harvest was also quite good.
However, Bai Yue wasn't so lucky. While Bai Yu and Wang Hai were making a fortune, the little girl's harvest, though decent, paled in comparison to those who seemed to have cheat codes.
“Even if your bucket isn’t full, you have to come back with us. I don’t feel comfortable leaving you here alone to go beachcombing. Here, give me your bucket, I’ll help you…”
"Hey, hey, Yueyue, lobster! There's a lobster in this pit! Come and catch it!"
Is Bai Yue left here alone, gathering seafood?
It was pitch black on this rocky beach, and it was the early hours of the morning. How much heart must Bai Yu have to allow Bai Yue, a teenage girl, to go beachcombing alone here?
Even ten minutes wouldn't do, Bai Yu refused on the spot. But as he was about to go over and help Bai Yue carry the bucket, he caught a glimpse of the ground out of the corner of his eye.
He made a discovery in a crevice in a reef, where a lobster was hiding, and it was a large spotted lobster at that, its long tentacles giving away its location.
Summoned by Bai Yu, Bai Yue quickly arrived at the crevice in the rocks where the lobster was hidden. The little girl then lay down on the ground, reached her hand directly into the crevice, and after fiddling around for a while, pulled out a huge flower lobster.
Seeing her younger sister acting so recklessly, kneeling down and catching lobsters with her bare hands, she didn't act like a girl at all. Couldn't she have worn gloves?
Although flower lobsters don't have large claws, their small claws can still poke quite painfully, and their large teeth are sharp enough to crush even scallop shells!
However, Bai Yu would not say this aloud. On the contrary, he had to praise Bai Yue for doing a good job. He couldn't dampen the little girl's enthusiasm for beachcombing, and he couldn't say anything that would be detrimental to unity.
After receiving a four- or five-pound lobster, Bai Yue carried the bucket and skipped and hopped after Bai Yu home!
Sigh, kids are so easy to coax; a single lobster is all it takes!
Ten minutes later, the three, having unloaded all their catch, reappeared on the beach.
When passing by the beach, Bai Yu, with the mindset that he couldn't let the children suffer, called Bai Yun and the others along and took them to the rocky beach to collect seafood.
In Bai Yu's view, the resources on the rocky beach are much richer than those on the sandy beach. Taking Bai Yun and the others along so they can also pick up some good stuff and make a small fortune is no big deal.
When they found their first big crab, they couldn't wait to immediately acknowledge Bai Yu as their godfather. Their godfather was so good to them; he never forgot them when he had something good!
Although Bai Yu invited Bai Yun and the others, it actually had no impact on the three of them.
The rocky beach here is so vast that even if there were ten times that number, more than a hundred people, there would still be enough for them to enjoy the beach.
The white fishermen, returning to the rocky beach, continued their good fortune, finding a conch shell every step, a crab every three steps, and a lobster every ten steps.
Good heavens, these seafood are practically lined up waiting for the white fisherman to come and pick them up.
Just as Bai Yu was getting excited about picking things up, he unknowingly arrived in front of a large rocky pit.
This rocky pit is also a well-established spot; Bai Yu and Wang Hai had a very good harvest here when they were collecting eels and crabs before.
It's more like a pool than a rocky pit, because it's so big!
"Huh? What just ran by? It disappeared in a flash?"
When Bai Yu arrived, the overhead light shone into the pool, and he seemed to see something flash by.
However, because the other party was moving too fast, he couldn't see clearly and was a little unsure if he was seeing things.
"Brother, was what you just saw red? I think I saw it too, and it disappeared in a flash."
Just as Bai Yu was wondering if he was seeing things, Bai Yue beside him gave him an answer: he wasn't mistaken.
"You saw it too? Then hurry up and look for it! Red fish are usually quite expensive. We haven't found many fish tonight, maybe we'll get a good one!"
"Red fish are expensive? Bro, do you think it might be a red grouper? Red groupers are red, and they're really expensive; one can sell for a lot of money!"
"You know what, it really could be a grouper! Search! Quickly search this pit! Ah Hai, you come and search with us! If we find it, we'll be rich!"
When Bai Yu and Bai Yue were discussing what kind of fish that guy was, what Bai Yu said was half true and half just echoing what Bai Yue said.
Grouper is very valuable. Catching one might not make them rich, but it can at least allow them to make a small profit.
As for the fact that the guy just now was a spotted grouper, and that he was right there in the rocky pit in front of them, these words were entirely in line with what Bai Yue said.
The reason Wang Hai was also called over wasn't just because of the fish from earlier, but because there really was something in this rocky pit.
Although Bai Yu couldn't make out what kind of fish the red one was when he glanced at it, he did see a lot of crabs and several rock gobies in the pit.
Crabs were manageable, but these fish were really hard to catch in the water, so we had to call Wang Hai over to help.
But when Wang Hai arrived and their headlamps shone on the puddle again, this time they could see clearly that there really were red fish in it, and more than one.
As soon as the light shone on them, they immediately scattered as if in a panic. All Bai Yu and the other two could see was that these creatures were red and had many spots on their bodies; otherwise, it was really hard to tell them apart.
"It's red with spots on it, could it really be a red snapper? But can you really catch these things by beachcombing?"
For a moment, Bai Yu lost his confidence. He had never heard of anyone catching a grouper while beachcombing.
Bai Yu then explained to the camera on his chest, analyzing his judgment and stating that it was definitely not something they had put in beforehand.
Then he walked into the puddle with Bai Yue and Wang Hai!
This puddle is not only big, but also very deep. The deepest part of the water reaches their waists, more than a meter deep.
"Brother, there it is! There's a giant grouper over there! It really is a giant grouper, and there's more than one. The lead one is huge!"
Bai Yue had just stepped into the puddle when she quickly spotted the Eastern Star Spot. The overhead light immediately shone on it, pointing Bai Yu and Wang Hai in the right direction.
Because Bai Yu and Wang Hai were in different locations, they looked in the direction of Bai Yue's light but saw nothing but a reef. It wasn't until they got close that they finally saw the Eastern Star Grouper that Bai Yue had mentioned.
Hidden in the crevice between two rocks were four sea fish: three red and one pink.
They hid in a very good spot. Unless you pass directly above them, you can only spot them from a specific angle, like the angle Bai Yue was just at.
These four are indeed Eastern Star Spotted Groupers, one large one with three smaller ones, but the large one seems to be in poor condition, covered in injuries.
This is also the main reason why these East Star Spotted Groupers did not flee when they sensed Bai Yu and his companions approaching; the large East Star Spotted Grouper seemed to dominate among the four of them.
If they don't run away, it will be a boon for Bai Yu and the others.
After discovering the four East Star Spotted Fish, although Bai Yu was more experienced, he still made the right decision. He and Wang Hai blocked them from head to tail, while Bai Yue provided support and was ready to deal with any emergencies.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai then exchanged a glance. Each of them held a bucket, and one of them covered the grouper from the front and the other from behind.
As expected, none of the four grouper escaped; they were all stuffed into the bucket by the two brothers.
Bai Yu took the largest grouper in his hand and looked at the wounded creature.
His judgment was that the grouper had been brought to the rocky beach by the waves, but the process was not particularly smooth. It had had many close encounters with the rocks, and a lot of its scales had been knocked off.
Its only advantage is that this guy is quite big, weighing about seven or eight pounds, making it the largest grouper that Bai Yu has ever seen.
The other three smaller ones weren't too small either, weighing about three or four pounds, which is larger than most grouper on the market.
"Tsk, this guy is in pretty bad shape. Look at all the bruises on his body, and he's not very energetic anymore. I wonder if he'll even make it to the party the day after tomorrow."
"Brother, why is this big one pink while the other three are red? The grouper I saw at Uncle Sun's hotel were all red too."
"The different colors mean different varieties. As far as I know, there are also black grouper. I don't know what the black ones look like."
"Brother Yu, just talk, don't shake the fish! Look at that grouper in your hand, it's almost rolling its eyes!"
!!
Amidst the commotion, Bai Yu, carrying a bucket containing four grouper, raced home at top speed!
This time, he didn't bring Bai Yue with him, but instead had her go beachcombing with Wang Hai.
