"Why are you here so late again today? Did you run into a school of fish again?"
As soon as Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing stepped onto the Rising Sun, their eyes couldn't help but look around everywhere.
"Father, Uncle Ling, no need to look anymore. We didn't encounter any fish, but we did encounter a snake."
"Huh, a swarm of snakes? Sea snakes?"
"Um."
Ah-Can nodded and briefly recounted his encounter with the long, winding formation.
Upon hearing this, the two were immediately stunned into silence.
Feng Jiaqing asked anxiously, "Where is it? How did you handle it?"
"The trawl net is still soaking in the water, we dare not bring it up."
Feng Ye gave a wry smile.
"Let's go take a look."
As Feng Jiaqing spoke, he lifted his foot and walked towards the stern of the boat.
Feng Jialing quickly followed.
When they reached the stern and pulled the trawl net out of the water, they were so shocked by the sight of the huddled flat-tailed sea snakes that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"My God, this is way too much!"
Feng Jialing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Feng Jiaqing also gasped and said, "It was the right thing not to bring them on board. If so many flat-tailed sea snakes were on board, it would be a disaster. The whole ship would be in chaos, and no one could stay there."
"That's what we thought too. Besides, Ye Ge and I are both afraid of snakes, so we didn't dare to pull them onto the boat. We could only leave them soaking in the water."
"Have you come up with a solution? We can't just keep dragging this on, can we?"
“At the beginning, even Uncle Fusheng and the others couldn’t think of a good solution.”
Ah-Can said smugly, "It's best that Brother Ye thought of that. We're going to tow them back to the dock, stun them with electricity, and then deal with them."
"To electrocute them?"
Feng Jiaqing paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "This is a good idea, it's feasible."
"Yes, that's a good idea. This way, we don't have to worry about any danger."
Feng Jialing nodded in agreement, then added, "Now that we've looked at it, let's put it down quickly. Sea snakes become worthless once they're dead."
The trawl net was lowered back into the water and submerged again.
"Dad, Uncle Ling, the noodles are ready, let's eat first."
"Okay, okay..."
After finishing a simple meal of seafood noodles, Feng Jiaqing urged, "Alright, you guys should go back now."
He clapped his hands, got up, and prepared to leave the Rising Sun and return to the small boat next to it.
"Father, aren't you coming back with us?"
"No, Lao Qi and I will stay and catch squid. We've already come all this way, what would it look like to go back empty-handed?"
Feng Jiaqing shook his head.
"You guys go back, we two won't go back to join in the fun."
Feng Jialing echoed this sentiment from the side.
"Oh well."
Feng Ye and A Can were preoccupied with the net full of flat-tailed sea snakes, so they didn't say much.
Just as Feng Jiaqing jumped back onto the small boat, he suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, don't sell all the sea snakes. Keep a few to make wine."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jialing quickly added, "Yes, keep a few to make wine. Sea snake wine is good for your health and very nourishing."
"Uh... okay."
Feng Ye responded, but the news he had seen in his previous life kept flashing through his mind.
It is said that soaking live snakes in alcohol makes the medicine more potent, so some people soak live snakes in alcohol.
Unexpectedly, after soaking for a year, the snake seemed to be dead, but when it was opened, it suddenly woke up, jumped out, and bit people.
Many people found this event unbelievable.
Logically speaking, how could a snake still survive in a sealed wine jar after being soaked for a year?
In fact, anyone with a little common sense should know that snakes are hibernating creatures that enter a dormant state when the weather is cold.
Therefore, for snakes, not eating or drinking is not difficult; they can simply take a nap.
However, during this process, the snake will remain motionless to reduce the loss of energy in its body, making it appear as if it is dead.
Another point is that when making medicinal liquor, the bottle is usually not filled completely, but rather some space is left.
This action allows the snake's head to come into contact with the air, preventing it from suffocating.
The third point is that the alcohol concentration did not meet the requirements.
If the alcohol content is not high, it will not have a numbing effect on snakes, and the resulting medicinal wine will easily spoil.
In addition, poor sealing is also a possible reason.
In short, soaking live snakes in alcohol is suicidal.
Can't you still soak a dead snake in alcohol?
Anyway, he values his life very much and won't do anything reckless.
At the same time, he also reminded them: "Father, Uncle Ling, when you are making the medicinal wine, you should kill the sea snake first. You must not use a live snake."
"You don't need to tell me. This isn't the first time we've made snake wine. We wouldn't make such a mistake. Don't worry."
Feng Jiaqing waved his hand, somewhat impatiently.
"Well……"
...
When the Xuri appeared in the waters outside Dongtou Village, several ships had already returned, including one belonging to Chen Fusheng.
As far as Feng Ye knew, there were more than a dozen ships that had caught the flat-tailed sea serpent.
However, these boats came from different places, some from the other three villages on White Stone Island, and others from other places.
They own only four boats belonging to their Dongtou Village, including their own.
They were delayed because they went to find Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing, so they returned a little late.
At this time, all three ships were docked at the pier.
As luck would have it, the cargo on the three ships was sold to three different dealers.
Each dealer's collection point had two electrical wires strung out and pulled all the way to the boat.
