All that's left is envy.
A couple of days ago, Ah-chan told them that it was pulled up from the seabed, which is more than ten meters deep.
These families don't have diving equipment on their fishing boats, so even if they know there's cargo underwater, they can only stare helplessly.
Even if you can dive this deep while naked, you can only do it for a short while before you have to surface immediately.
However, seeing so many sea urchins today, some people are starting to think about buying diving equipment.
Feng Ye, of course, knew nothing of this. He and A-Can made their way through the crowd and into Feng Jiafa's shop.
When Feng Jiafa saw that it was sea urchins again, he wasn't too surprised. He simply said, "Good lad, haven't you finished catching all the sea urchins yet?"
"It won't be that fast. We can at least make the most of the next few days."
Ah-chan looked smug.
This is their exclusive business, and they're not afraid of being found out by others, as they need to have diving equipment.
Besides them, only two other people in the village had diving equipment.
One was Chen Fusheng, and the other, though no one knew who he was, was someone from Changwei Island whom they had robbed at the reef last time.
It's unlikely that Chen Fusheng would follow them, especially since he doesn't even own a boat and is using his father's small wooden boat.
The other person doesn't need to worry either. If they dare to follow, we can just take them around and see who can outlast whom.
Actually, the person most likely to know the location is Guo Changling, as he has encountered him twice in that sea area.
However, this man was honest and simple, and he only fished in his own territory.
Apart from those two encounters with schools of fish, I have never entered their work area.
"Wow, there's more? You two are going to make a fortune again! No, you two are making a fortune every day, you must have made a lot of money from those dried fish, right?"
Feng Ye smiled but didn't answer. He just urged, "Uncle Fa, stop arguing and get it weighed quickly."
"You guys are really capable, bold, and daring. As for me, I can only earn a meager living through hard work."
Feng Jiafa shook his head, sighed from the bottom of his heart, and then began busily weighing the sea urchins.
On the way back, Feng Ye poured out the contents and sorted them by size, then weighed them.
There are more large ones, some weighing 112 jin (56 catties), and the price is 2.8 yuan per jin.
The smaller ones weigh only 64 jin (32.5 catties), and are much cheaper at only 2 yuan per jin, a difference of 8 mao (0.8 yuan).
I received a total of 441.6 yuan.
It's alright, considering it only went into the water twice.
If we have two more people tomorrow and go earlier, we can harvest even more; 500 jin shouldn't be a problem.
After receiving the money, the two put the basket back on the boat and then went to help out at the workshop.
Although the fishing boats haven't returned yet and no fish have been killed, the dried fish that has been dried today needs to be collected, and the uncooked fish need to be turned over...
There's plenty of work to be done; there's no way to stay idle.
...
The next day, before dawn, the Xuri ship set off for the county with the dried fish.
The main reason we went out to sea today was that the four of us were planning to go diving and catch sea urchins, so we arrived a little early.
Previously, because they took the ferry, Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing would arrive quite late.
After all, we're selling practical products, so there's no need to rush.
They bought a boat just two days ago, and they set off even earlier yesterday.
By the time they arrived at the seafood market, it was only a little past six o'clock, not even seven.
The sun had just risen above the horizon, and the sunlight was dazzling but barely warm.
The market is currently in the middle of its one-hour closure period, and only vendors can bring their goods in.
After unloading the goods and pulling them into the shop, Feng Ye saw the leftovers from yesterday, piled up against the wall in layers.
Yesterday, we brought over 4,000 jin of dried fish to the market, but only sold a little over 1,000 jin, leaving about 3,000 jin.
The amount of dried fish brought over today was also considerable, totaling over 3,800 jin (approximately 1,450 kg).
If nothing unexpected happens today, we can only sell about 1,000 jin (500 catties).
That would cause the inventory to soar to nearly 6,000 jin (3,000 kg).
And this number will inevitably continue to increase as time goes by.
You should know that we harvested more than 14,000 catties of fish yesterday.
Those families who dried their own fish will be able to dry them within a day or two and then bring them over to sell.
Thinking about this, Feng Ye felt a headache coming on, but for the time being, he was at a loss.
But to his surprise, shortly after the market opened to customers, they were hit by a windfall.
