Suddenly, someone said in a surprised tone, "Have you noticed? It seems like those two are incredibly lucky?"
"It was discovered long ago that they are the sons of the sea, and no one has their luck."
“That’s not what I meant. I meant that as long as you fish in the same place as them, you can have a good harvest, just like Chen Fusheng and his group today.”
The crowd was quiet for a moment, then became even noisier; it could be said that one sentence stirred up a huge wave of discussion.
"It really seems so. Do you guys remember the squid from a few days ago?"
"I remember, I heard that the dolphins' calls stunned the squid, making them float to the surface and easy to catch. That's right, those two were there too..."
"And the needlefish from a while ago, they're also there..."
"Yes, yes, now that you think about it, it does seem to make sense."
"Have you all forgotten Guo Changling...?"
"..."
When everyone recounted the lucky people in the village over the past year, they found that most of them were related to Feng Ye and A-Can.
It seems that as long as you get involved with those two, your luck will improve dramatically.
Those who owned boats at home were immediately filled with excitement.
If we could follow behind the Rising Sun to fish, wouldn't we benefit from its catch and catch even more fish?
"It's a pity they bought a big boat. Starting tomorrow, they won't be fishing in the coastal waters anymore; instead, they'll be sailing to more distant places."
These words shattered many people's illusions, and the light in their eyes dimmed, revealing disappointment.
Yes, they're setting sail in their big ship tomorrow, so we can't benefit from it.
"Sigh, if only we had discovered it sooner, we could have benefited a little from it."
"Yes, it's no use talking about this now, they've already replaced the ship."
"This...sigh, why didn't I think of that before?"
"It's no use thinking about it now, they're leaving tomorrow."
Everyone spoke up, their faces filled with regret and remorse.
Feng Ye and A-Can were naturally unaware of what the people on the shore were talking about.
In reality, even if they did find out, they wouldn't care.
Tomorrow, they will set off in the Dong Sheng, without worrying about those small boats following behind.
It cannot be denied that some small fishing boats can survive at sea for several days, but there are only a few such boats.
Especially now that maritime radio stations are not widespread, virtually no boats less than 20 meters long dare to venture too far out to sea to fish.
They only fish in coastal waters, going and returning on the same day.
The Rising Sun finally docked at the pier and came to a steady stop.
The crowd on the shore also turned their attention to the Rising Sun, staring intently at the trawl net still submerged in the water at the stern, all wanting to know how many flat-tailed sea snakes they had caught.
After Feng Ye and A-Can tied the rope, they went to the stern of the boat.
Then, the net-lifting machine is started, and the trawl net is pulled out of the water, with most of it exposed on the surface.
"My God, they really caught so many flat-tailed sea snakes!"
Another gasp erupted from the crowd, their eyes widening as if they were about to bulge out.
The trawl net was bulging and packed full of flat-tailed sea snakes.
They didn't pull the trawl net onto the boat, but left it half-submerged in the water.
Then, the two walked to the side of the boat and looked at the busy boat next to them.
"Uncle Fa, what's the price of sea snakes?"
“4.6 yuan. We originally charged 4.5 yuan, but since you caught a lot, Lao Zhu, Lao Lin, and I discussed it and added 1 mao (0.1 yuan).
Feng Jiafa said without turning his head.
At this moment, he dared not turn back.
He was standing on Chen Fusheng's boat, holding two sticks with wires tied to them, staring intently at a large group of flat-tailed sea snakes.
Once he detects any signs of them waking up, he quickly sticks the stick in his hand in and stuns them again.
"Oh, they added another cent? That's great!"
"Wait a moment, we'll come and collect your things as soon as we've settled things here."
"Okay, we're not in a hurry."
Feng Ye smiled and responded, then looked at Old Zhu and Old Lin beside him.
Like Feng Jiafa, these two men each guarded a boat, not daring to blink or be distracted for even a moment.
If so many flat-tailed sea snakes were to awaken, it would be a huge problem, and someone might even get bitten.
Even if we take a step back and assume that no one gets bitten, these sea snakes darting into the sea still pose a significant threat.
Who knows where these sea snakes will go?
Some might remain in the nearby sea, or even on the adjacent beach.
Don't forget, there are many people gathering seafood on the beach every day.
Therefore, none of them dared to be careless in the slightest.
This is for our own safety, and also for the safety of this sea area.
After being stunned by an electric shock, the flat-tailed sea snake becomes docile and motionless.
By this time, all three boats were filled with several nets of flat-tailed sea snakes, and the net openings were tied up and thrown aside.
Some of the flat-tailed sea snakes in these nets have already awakened, wriggling around inside as if searching for a way to escape.
But the mesh of the net was too small, and they couldn't squeeze through at all; they could only struggle in vain.
More than half an hour later, Chen Fusheng finally managed to put all the flat-tailed sea snakes into the net. He then took them to Feng Jiafa's shop to be weighed.
Feng Ye and A Can also joined in the fun and checked the weight.
After weighing them one by one, they totaled a full 876 jin (approximately 488 catties).
