After seeing Boss Zeng off, Feng Ye and his group returned to their shop in high spirits.
"They're all sold?"
Looking at the empty shops, Feng Jiaqing felt a sense of unreality.
Others felt the same way.
Feng Jialing also said, "Yes, more than 6,000 jin, and one person is about to die. It's like a dream."
"I was thinking of looking for a shop at the city's trade plaza, but now I don't have to rush."
Ah-Can excitedly said, "With Boss Zeng as a big customer, we won't have to worry about selling our dried fish."
Feng Ye shook his head: "We still need to look for it, but there's no need to rush. We can take our time."
"Huh? Do we still need to look?" Ah-Can asked, puzzled.
“Ah Ye is right, we can’t put all our eggs in one basket.”
Feng Jiaqing said, "What if Boss Zeng doesn't want the goods one day? Wouldn't we be in a bind?"
“That’s right. We can’t just rely on Boss Zeng alone. It’s always good to have more clients.”
Feng Jialing also expressed his agreement.
"Okay, these next few days, Dad, you and Uncle Ling will go out to sea with me and A-Can to catch sea urchins."
Feng Ye said, "Once you've caught all the sea urchins, if you have time, go to the city's trade plaza and see if there are any shops for sale."
"good."
Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing both nodded in agreement.
"Sigh, if only I could run into a few more big clients like Boss Zeng in this market."
Ah-Can sighed.
Feng Ye laughed and said, "It's best to just think about these things and not have too high expectations. We still need to be down-to-earth and make more preparations."
"Indeed, we can't pin our hopes on such a low-probability event."
Feng Jiaqing added, "However, the fact that we were able to sell so many goods today is already a good sign."
The four of them talked as they tidied up their shop, locked the door, and left the market.
It was still very early, not even eight o'clock yet, and there were still many breakfast vendors outside the market.
"Dad, Uncle Ling, what would you like to eat?"
Feng Ye pointed to the vendors and asked.
They came out early and hadn't had breakfast yet.
"Anything is fine."
"How about steamed buns? Aren't we going out to sea to catch sea urchins? We can eat them on the go, it won't waste any time."
"Okay, then it'll be steamed buns."
Feng Ye walked up to a steamed bun vendor and bought 20 steamed buns.
At this time, the steamed buns were made very large with plenty of filling, making them very affordable.
Five per person is enough to fill you up.
They distributed the steamed buns to everyone, and ate them as they walked towards the sea.
Before long, the roar of the Rising Sun filled the air as it slowly left the dock and sailed into the boundless sea.
The sea breeze, carrying a salty scent, brushed against their faces, while the waves gently lapped against the shore, as if bidding them farewell.
...
More than two hours later, Feng Ye, who was standing at the bow of the boat, found the buoy that had been dropped the day before and then signaled to A-Can to come closer.
Once the boat was anchored, he took out his diving equipment.
There are four sets in total, one set for each person, so there's no need to take turns going into the water.
None of us had been in the water for the first time, so there wasn't much to tell us. We just put on our diving gear and went in.
Feng Ye naturally used the one he bought.
He also brought an extra net bag, which he tied around his waist, and a small net.
Yesterday I was thinking of catching some brightly colored, beautiful fish to keep as pets, and today I put that idea into action.
Dive to the seabed, and the beautiful coral reefs will appear before your eyes.
With sunlight filtering through the sea, dappled light and shadow sway gracefully on the seabed, adding a touch of dreamlike beauty to this mysterious marine world.
Ah-Can, Feng Jiaqing, and Feng Jialing were all momentarily stunned, captivated by the colorful underwater world.
Despite having seen it once yesterday, Feng Ye still couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.
After admiring it for a while, he simply and directly started working.
He opened the net, took the hook from his waistband, and reached for the sea urchins clinging to the coral reef.
With a gentle push, a giant sea urchin floated down into the waiting net below.
With a flick of the small hook, one sea urchin after another was hooked down...
Of course, if he saw any shellfish or other similar creatures along the way, they would also fall into his clutches and be happily taken away.
There were so many sea urchins clinging to the coral reef that the net was almost full in less than twenty minutes.
Before experiencing any discomfort, Feng Ye tightened the net and placed it on a relatively flat coral reef.
Then I hooked a sea urchin down and cracked it open with a small hook.
This immediately attracted a small group of brightly colored damselfish, who eagerly pecked at the sea urchin's internal organs and gonads.
Feng Ye looked at the little fish, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips.
With a quick twist of his little hook behind his back, he pulled out a small landing net and aimed at one of the clownfish.
In the blink of an eye, he flicked his wrist, and the small net accurately caught the unsuspecting clownfish.
Seeing this, the other fish scattered in terror, fleeing into the crevices of the surrounding coral reefs.
The clownfish, startled, thrashed around in the net but couldn't find its way out.
With a smile on his face, Feng Ye opened the net bag at his waist, poured the clownfish in, and then tightened the bag.
Then, he moved to another location and repeated the same method, catching several more attractive damselfish of other species.
Satisfied with his catch in the net, he prepared to use his flippers to float to the surface.
Just then, he suddenly noticed a small, golden-yellow fish swimming around in the distance.
"This is... a butterflyfish?"
Feng Ye's face lit up with joy.
The butterflyfish, also known as the butterfly toothfish, gets its name from its resemblance to a butterfly in flight when swimming.
It is lively and quick in action, but timid and often hides among coral reefs.
There are approximately 18 genera and 190 species of butterflyfish, of which about 57 species belong to 14 genera in China.
Their colors are very vibrant, and their body color can change depending on the environment.
The main colors include brown, yellow, blue, and gold, with specific color characteristics varying depending on the species.
Due to their beautiful appearance and unique habits, butterflyfish are widely kept as ornamental fish.
They are considered sea fairies, with vibrant colors and elegant postures, and are among the most beautiful marine ornamental fish.
The one Feng Ye is seeing now is yellow, and its scientific name is Yellow Butterflyfish. Yellow Butterflyfish have evenly distributed dark red vertical stripes along their sides, with only a noticeable pale blue spot around their eyes. Their vibrant colors make them very beautiful.
