The three of them, Chen Fusheng and his companion, already weighed eight or nine hundred jin, which was quite a lot, while the two of them weighed two or three hundred jin more.
The difference is just too big.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, none of them would have believed it was true.
"My goodness, that's a lot! How did they manage that?"
"Yes, Chen Fusheng and his group were already enough, but I didn't expect Feng Ye and his group to be even stronger. They're simply inhuman."
"They're so lucky! How come they always seem to run into all sorts of good things?"
"Sigh, the difference between people is just so great..."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, their gazes towards Feng Ye and A-Can filled with envy and jealousy.
Even Feng Ye and A Can themselves didn't expect there to be so many flat-tailed sea snakes in this net.
They originally thought that having a thousand or so kilograms would be quite good.
Unexpectedly, it exceeded 100 kilograms.
The two of them were overjoyed.
In addition, the goods from the two nets in the early morning and morning also made some money.
However, compared to the price of the flat-tailed sea snake, it's negligible, less than a fraction of the price, only 108 yuan.
After receiving the money, the two squeezed through the crowd, took the flat-tailed sea snake they had left behind, and other seafood, and hurried towards the workshop.
They couldn't stand everyone's enthusiasm; they were all green with envy, as if they were about to be devoured.
As soon as Feng Ye stepped into the workshop, he noticed that there was an extra person inside.
It turned out that his brother-in-law, Ye Chenliang, had already arrived.
The people who were busy in the workshop were pleasantly surprised to see them return.
Xiao Chunxiu went even further, asking, "How many sea snakes did you catch? How much money did you make selling them?"
"Huh? You all knew?"
Feng Ye was somewhat surprised.
He didn't see them at the dock and assumed they didn't know him.
Little did they know, they already did.
"The news has spread throughout most of the village. I heard that around noon, a large number of flat-tailed sea snakes gathered at sea, numbering in the hundreds of thousands or even millions, stretching for more than ten nautical miles."
Feng Ye was stunned.
This is way too exaggerated.
Is this where the saying "three men can make a tiger" comes from?
It's not surprising that it spreads quickly, but it's a bit outrageous to spread it like this.
He didn't know exactly how many flat-tailed sea snakes had gathered, but it was definitely not in the millions; at most, it was only tens of thousands.
Moreover, it couldn't possibly be more than ten nautical miles long.
It's important to know that one nautical mile equals 1.8 kilometers.
A dozen or so nautical miles, that's twenty or thirty kilometers, how could there be such a large group of sea snakes?
This isn't the deep sea, it's a near-shore area.
If it were the deep sea, it would indeed be possible for millions of them to gather, stretching for tens of nautical miles.
He shook his head: "There aren't that many. It's just an exaggeration. I'd estimate it's only a few tens of thousands. Maybe it's because our perspective is limited and we can't see what's going on further."
Ah-chan also said, "What we saw was fifty or sixty meters wide. We're not sure exactly how far it was, but it could never be more than ten nautical miles long."
"That's a lot too."
Xiao Chunxiu said with a smile, "You haven't said how many you caught or how much money you made from selling them?"
Ah-Can proudly chimed in, "There were four boats in our village that hauled in one net, and we had the most, totaling 1158 jin (5327 catties) and 5327 yuan."
"hiss……"
"so much!"
Everyone was stunned.
There were far too many, exceeding their expectations.
Ye Chenliang, in particular, couldn't help but gasp.
One net can actually sell for more than 5,000 yuan.
That's such a great deal!
Think about it, he farms at home, works himself to the bone all year, and only earns less than a thousand yuan.
Moreover, this was the result of him doing temporary work during the off-season.
Relying solely on the produce from the land, one would be lucky to earn five hundred yuan a year.
The money he earned from catching one net of sea snakes was equivalent to several years of his income.
Ye Chenliang's gaze towards Feng Ye changed.
After that bastard brother-in-law turned over a new leaf, he actually became quite good at making money.
When Ye Qingyu went home for the Spring Festival last year, she told her family about it, and they didn't quite believe her.
Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he has no choice but to believe it.
Then, he turned his gaze to Ah-Can, and was extremely satisfied with his future brother-in-law.
Ye Qingling had already told him that A-Can and Ye Qingyu were dating.
After all, once he arrives, he can only stay at Feng Ye's house, and it's inevitable that he'll notice something's off between the two of them, and misunderstandings will arise.
Immediately, Ye Chenliang's heart burned with excitement.
If a small boat of a dozen meters can yield such a harvest, what about a 30-meter-long boat?
It will definitely be better, right?
He gets a 0.5% commission for working on the ship.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, to the point of being incredibly excited.
This earns much more money than farming!
At this moment, Ye Qingling looked at the net bag on the cart and asked curiously, "Why didn't you sell all the sea snakes? Why did you keep so many?"
Feng Ye smiled and said, "It's not that we want to keep it, but Dad and Uncle Ling said they want to keep some to make medicinal wine."
"There's no need to keep so many. There are already a dozen or twenty of them."
"Exactly twenty, no more, no less. They didn't say how many to keep, so we thought we might as well keep a few more. We could give them away or stew them."
After hearing what he said, everyone felt that the twenty items left behind were not too many.
However, considering the price of a sea snake, it seems too extravagant.
