Bai Yu naturally had his own plans regarding the unexpected acquisition of the gold watch and gold necklace: he would neither sell them nor melt them down, but simply leave them as they were for the time being.
After he finished editing the video of his beachcombing day and posted it online to see the reaction, he will make his next decision.
Although the style of the gold watch suggests that its previous owner was probably someone from the last century, and that the person may have been dead for many years.
However, before a substantial result is reached, Bai Yu shouldn't take it upon himself to dispose of the watch. At the very least, he should let the video circulate online for a while, observe the situation, and then make a decision. This way, he can avoid unnecessary trouble to the greatest extent possible.
As for whether or not you need to hand over valuables found on the beach.
According to Chinese law, such items should be handed over or returned to the owner.
But who owns these two items that Bai Yu and the others found? The name on the watch is Chen Yiyu?
They've never even heard of this name before, how can they possibly return it to the owner?
As for handing it over to the police station?
It's better not to bother the police. What if these things are cheap street vendor items, worth more than two cents? What's the point of handing them in then?
Although Bai's father confirmed that the two items were a gold watch and a gold necklace, he wasn't in the gold jewelry business and didn't have a clear understanding of gold.
If you want to find Chen Yilang, it's better to search online. Bai Yu has a large enough following on both platforms to allow more people to see this video.
After leaving the processing plant, Bai Yu and Wang Hai went home and summarized their day's gains.
They went beachcombing at 1 p.m. and returned before 4 p.m., meaning they only spent a little over two hours beachcombing in total.
Although the time was short, they gained a great deal.
Let's leave aside the cheap seafood, such as whelks, clams, hard clams, and mussels.
Not only were these seafood items cheap, but they were also plentiful. However, Bai Yu and his companion had no intention of selling them; instead, they planned to have them as a late-night snack tonight.
In addition, although there weren't many types of valuable seafood, there were plenty of them. The two of them caught eleven blue crabs alone, none of which were below the required quantity.
Or to put it another way, the two brothers wouldn't even look at crabs weighing less than six ounces, and the same goes for orchid crabs. There were even more of them, a full fifteen, each weighing more than half a pound, and each one was huge.
There were also quite a few other large conches; the two of them collected almost half a bucket of them, and even a few abalone, though there were only five or six of those.
In fact, Bai Hao and his group found quite a few abalone, but because of their size, they only picked out a few of the larger ones and took them away, ignoring the rest.
Whether fishing or beachcombing at the beach, avoid using a "catch everything in one net" strategy. Instead, release smaller seafood back into the water. Only by releasing these smaller seafood can they continue to thrive.
This way, fishermen will have more seafood to catch the following year.
The only thing that Bai Yu found a bit of a pity was that the two brothers, Lobster and Lobster, only encountered two flower lobsters, and they were the kind that they dared not catch.
Although they didn't catch any lobsters, they still managed to catch quite a few prawns in the classroom pit, which was enough to barely assemble a complete shrimp army.
As for sea fish, there weren't any—well, not exactly none. Just before returning, Wang Hai couldn't resist and attacked the catshark in the puddle.
He brought a catshark home and kept it in his aquarium.
These were all things Wang Hai told Bai Yu. If Bai Yu remembered correctly, Wang Hai's aquarium contained a group of Queen Angelfish.
Imagine putting a catshark among a group of queens and goddesses—oh my god, the scene is too beautiful to even imagine!
Today, Bai Yu and his friends' beachcombing harvest mainly consisted of crustaceans. The only non-crusted items they found were sea cucumbers, sea anemones, squid, and octopuses.
After taking stock of their catch for the day, Bai Yu and his brother had no intention of sending the fish to the purchasing station for sale or to the processing plant for packaging; they simply left them there.
As mentioned before, they were going to have a late-night snack tonight, and it was something they prepared themselves, so Bai Yu and the others' catch today would be used as ingredients for tonight's meal.
Actually, it's all Bai Yu's fault. You could say he didn't go to the company or the processing plant to help out today, and instead took Wang Hai to go beachcombing, and that's one thing...
Why did he post the beachcombing video to their group? He posts it every time he finds something good.
This displeased Li Shuang and the others. They had been incredibly busy today, overseeing the unloading of fishing boats at the dock and coordinating space in the cold storage at the processing plant.
Then I had to go to the courier company to check on the shipment status and to deal with the procurement of some items. I was constantly running around, with no time to rest.
While they were busy with their own affairs, Bai Yu took Wang Hai to go beachcombing, and then asked in the group chat if the crabs they caught were big enough, and that they were full of roe and yellow fat.
Isn't that infuriating?
Even if Bai Yu is the boss, he can't just do whatever he wants and deliberately puncture their lungs.
Finally, at Li Shuang's suggestion, they decided to have an open-air barbecue that night on the beach of their small fishing village, while also fishing.
It's been a long time since Li Shuang and Lu Sheng went fishing. Ever since Bai Yu started doing live-streaming e-commerce, they haven't had much time to rest, let alone go deep-sea fishing. Forget about it, they simply don't have that much time.
Bai Yu agreed to Li Shuang's suggestion and even invited everyone in the company to have a barbecue on the beach that night.
Thanks to the excellent sales performance last night, all thirteen of us in the company have been busy all day today. They've all worked so hard, so it's not unreasonable to treat them to a barbecue.
Then Bai Yu took Wang Hai out in his own car to do a big shopping trip, buying everything they needed for dinner and drinks.
Otherwise, it can't just be the little stuff that Bai Yu and his brother caught while beachcombing; there's not enough for all of them to share.
In addition to buying ingredients, Bai Yu also went to a fishing tackle shop and spent a lot of money to buy a batch of sea rods, which were then delivered to the company.
There was no way around it; there were quite a few people wanting to go fishing today, and most of them didn't have fishing rods. Their intention was to have Bai Yu buy one for them, and then they would transfer the money to Bai Yu.
After all, the company's employees are still working and don't have time to buy fishing rods yet. By the time they get off work, the fishing tackle shop will probably be closing soon.
Bai Yu had no intention of asking his employees for money for this batch of fishing rods; instead, he planned to give them to them as a benefit.
As the first batch of employees of Yuxue Shipping Company, it wouldn't be a problem to give each of them a fishing rod set worth seven or eight hundred yuan.
Around 7 p.m., after it got dark, Li Shuang brought his company employees to the small fishing village.
Their first stop was Bai Yu's house. They had a lot of ingredients to prepare for tonight, so they definitely needed to eat something late at night first, otherwise what would they eat for dinner?
"Brother Yu, I've brought my brothers and sisters. Is there anything we can do for you?"
As soon as Li Shuang arrived at Bai Yu's house, he saw Bai Yu in the yard and asked her a question.
"You're here. Let's move the barbecue grill and tables and chairs onto the beach first. It's getting late, so tell them to be careful and not to bump into anything. It wouldn't be good if they got all bruised and battered."
Bai Yu glanced at Li Shuang, then told Li Shuang to start working.
To prepare this late-night snack, or rather, to make sure it's good, since it's only a little past seven o'clock.
But Bai Yu was really busy. He had been working since he finished fishing in the afternoon, for a total of three hours.
To ensure the barbecue went well, Bai Yu even brought her father over to help prepare the marinade for the meat skewers, so they could be grilled directly on the grill later.
He also asked Bai's dad to cook a few dishes, which he only needs to heat up before serving.
Afterwards, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng led the other employees to get busy.
Bai Yu only prepared one large round table and ten chairs, which might not be enough for fifteen people, or even more.
But there shouldn't be any major problems. After all, you can eat barbecue standing up, and those of them who want to fish can sit on small chairs and eat while looking at the sea.
After half an hour of work, all the food, drinks, tables, chairs, and other items were moved to the beach and secured.
To create a lively atmosphere for the meal, Bai Yu specially set up two lights on the beach to provide some illumination.
When Bai Yu arrived at the beach, there were already more than fifteen people there. Liu Tianyu had also brought several of Bai Yu's cousins to join in the fun.
To Bai Yu and Wang Hai, these people were definitely their own people, and Li Shuang and Lu Sheng knew several of them as well.
"Cousin, you've come at just the right time! We've finished our work and were about to start grilling when you arrived. You didn't come here just to freeload, did you?"
Bai Yu looked at Liu Tianyu and joked with him.
"Who said I came here to freeload? Look what I'm holding! I brought a fishing rod. Once I catch a fish, I'll give you a treat!"
As Liu Tianyu spoke, he shook the fishing rod in his hand to show that he hadn't come empty-handed.
"Okay, it has to be my cousin. He's so conscientious about getting things done, he even brought his own fishing rod."
"Cousin, you go fishing first, I'll go grill some skewers. I'll call you when they're ready."
"Okay, don't just remember me, there are these little guys too."
After Liu Tianyu finished speaking, he took his younger brothers and left for the beach to go fishing.
As for the little girls, he kept them behind to help Bai Yu with his tasks.
"What skills do you guys have? If you don't know anything, that's okay. Just find a seat over there and sit down. Don't wander around."
Bai Yu looked at her three cousins in front of her. The youngest of them was only a few years old, and the oldest was only in high school. They were at the age where they were shy and knew how to be bashful.
"Cousin, I know how to barbecue. I'll grill the skewers for you. Yu Yan can just watch over Bao Zhu."
"Okay, if you know how, then come and help. If you find the smoke and fire too hot, then go and rest."
By the time Bai Yu brought Liu Xinyu to the barbecue grill, Li Shuang had already lit the charcoal fire, and some people had already started grilling skewers.
To accommodate more than ten people eating skewers at the same time, Bai Yu naturally didn't just prepare one barbecue grill, but rather two large barbecue grills to grill simultaneously.
At this moment, there are two people grilling in front of these two barbecue grills, one is Lu Sheng and the other is a male employee of the company.
As a native of Inner Mongolia and a wealthy family with herds of cattle and sheep, Lu Sheng was naturally adept at barbecuing.
"Ah Sheng, why don't you go fishing? How about I grill some food for a while and you go fishing?"
Bai Yu watched Lu Sheng busy at work and prepared to take the skewers from his hands so that Lu Sheng could go fishing and relax.
"Oh, that's great! Then I'll leave the rest to you, Brother Fisherman. I'm going fishing now, and I'm sure I'll catch a grouper so we can have a grilled fish together."
After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he put down the skewers in his hand, grabbed his fishing rod, and left.
Bai Yu simply shook her head and smiled at Lu Sheng's reaction, then started grilling skewers with Liu Xinyu.
As for Liu Tianyu's suggestion to catch a grouper for grilling, he only listened and didn't take it to heart. After all, who could catch a grouper on a public beach?
While Bai Yu's idea is perfectly reasonable, catching grouper here is indeed quite difficult.
But sometimes reality is the opposite of what we imagine. Half an hour later, when Bai Yu was grilling the third batch of skewers, he caught a glimpse of a figure running at an extremely fast speed from the beach toward their barbecue area.
"Brother Fisherman, Brother Fisherman, look what I caught! A grouper! It really is a grouper! Holy crap, there really are groupers here!"
? ? ?
As Bai Yu heard the voice approaching from afar, he looked up blankly and saw Lu Sheng standing in front of him holding a fish.
Looking at the orange fish with spots in Lu Sheng's hand, what else could it be but a red grouper? Moreover, this red grouper was quite large, weighing at least three or four pounds.
"Wow, Ah Sheng, you're really lucky! You said you'd catch a grouper, and you actually did!"
"This fish is quite big. Even if you took it to the nearby fish market, you could sell it for several hundred yuan. Are you really going to grill it?"
Bai Yu looked at the grouper in Lu Sheng's hand with great surprise. He really didn't expect that Lu Sheng could catch a grouper.
"Let's grill it! We absolutely have to grill it, it'll be an extra dish for tonight!"
To show his determination to grill the grouper, Lu Sheng immediately ripped out its gills and sent it to paradise.
"Brother Fisherman, there really are some good things here. Why don't you come down and fish for a bit?"
"Then let's fish for a couple of times."
At Lu Sheng's invitation, Bai Yu took out his own fishing rod and followed Lu Sheng towards the sea, ready to start fishing.
As for the task of grilling skewers, it was left to others. There aren't many other things on the beach, but there are plenty of idle people, and some of them are ready to grill the skewers.
You asked them if they knew how to grill skewers?
Who is born knowing how to grill? If you don't know how, just learn! Burn a couple of skewers, or undercook a couple, and you'll get the hang of it.
When Bai Yu goes fishing, he doesn't just carry a fishing rod; he also carries a large bunch of meat skewers, including beef skewers, lamb skewers, grilled shrimp, and grilled chicken legs—he has everything.
However, these things didn't stay in Bai Yu's hands for long. A minute later, when Bai Yu arrived at the beach, they were all divided up by a group of fishermen.
There were quite a few people fishing tonight. Besides Bai Yu and his three friends, there were also four employees fishing, as well as Liu Tianyu and several of his cousins.
The few skewers Bai Yu had were not enough for all of them to share.
Then, with a chicken leg in his mouth, Bai Yu hooked a shrimp onto his fishing hook and cast it out.
When fishing at the beach, in order to avoid being affected by the waves, you must cast your line as far as you can with the bait. Otherwise, if you cast too close, the waves will roll the hook onto the beach before the fish even come to bite.
That's why Bai Yu was surprised that Lu Sheng could catch a grouper.
If you said he caught the grouper on the rocky beach, Bai Yu would find it understandable, but he caught it on the sandy side.
Furthermore, to avoid their fishing rods and lines getting in the way of others, they all kept a very large distance between each other.
Anyway, this beach is long enough, and there are only a dozen or so people here, which is more than enough.
As the bait, laden with weight, traced a perfect arc above his head, accompanied by a series of whistling sounds, it sped straight towards the sea.
With that one flick, according to Bai Yu's estimation, the rod was cast at least twenty meters away, and it's not impossible that it could even have been thirty meters.
In order to cast the hook further, Bai Yu used a shrimp weighing nearly five qian (approximately 15 grams) as bait, and also attached a 50-gram lead weight to the fishing line.
That is to say, the lead weight that Bai Yu was using was much heavier than the bait they were using.
Once the bait is cast, all that's left is to wait for a fish to bite, and while you're at it, you can finish off the chicken leg you've been grilling.
Who has the most comfortable time while fishing?
This person must be Bai Yu!
After all, there are about twenty-one or twenty-two people on the beach right now, but eight or nine of them are related to him.
Li Xue is his girlfriend, and he also has three female cousins, four male cousins, and one male cousin.
As long as a new batch of barbecue comes out, Bai Yu will definitely be able to enjoy a hot plate of grilled skewers; this is something he doesn't need to worry about.
The only thing he needed to worry about was whether he could catch any fish, which was beyond his control.
In the next half hour, Bai Yu had already eaten more than a dozen skewers of grilled meat and vegetables by the sea, and there were quite a few skewers left at his feet.
Just then, Li Xue brought Bai Yu a large blue crab. Before she could even hand the crab to Bai Yu, Bai Yu suddenly felt the fishing rod in her hand sink sharply, and a fish had taken the bait!
"Damn, after waiting for so long, a fish finally took the bait! Xue'er, you can eat the crab first. I'll get this fish myself when I catch it."
Bai Yu sensed the movement from the fishing rod, and he immediately and instinctively lifted the rod upwards, then turned around and spoke to Li Xue behind him.
The action of lifting the rod to set the hook is an instinctive reaction that Bai Yu has developed over the years of fishing. Even though he hasn't fished for a long time, these reactions haven't faded, and he quickly adapted to the rhythm of fishing.
After seeing Bai Yu catch the fish, Li Xue, who was behind her, did not leave immediately, but stood aside and watched.
Li Xue had also fished before, having gone out to sea with Bai Yu and the others. She had made money and even caught some big fish.
However, she hasn't gone fishing since graduation, especially after Bai Yu started his own company, she had even less time to go fishing.
Bai Yu can be a hands-off manager, but she definitely can't be one. There has to be someone in the company who can keep the word.
After setting the hook on the fish, Bai Yu felt the weight on the fishing rod. In his opinion, the fish wasn't very big, only about ten pounds.
However, there are many things to consider when fishing at the seaside. Besides the size of the fish, you also need to consider the waves.
This wave is really annoying. Not only does it carry fish to deeper waters, creating some resistance for the whitebait, it also pulls the fish towards the shore, making things easier for the whitebait.
Distinguishing between resistance and convenience is something that fishermen must figure out for themselves. If they don't do it well, fishing will be a waste of time and effort, while doing it well will be twice as effective.
Like Bai Yu at this moment, it was his first time experiencing fishing in the waves, and he was completely unprepared.
One second the fish felt like it weighed only ten-odd pounds, but the next second, its weight suddenly jumped to thirty or forty pounds, more than three or four times its original weight.
This sudden turn of events caused Bai Yu to loosen the fishing line, giving the other fish a chance to catch its breath.
