"Ah! So many fish! They're everywhere..."
"Not just fish, but also all kinds of shrimp, crabs and shellfish..."
"Haha, what a huge cucumber! And it's right next to my feet! I'm rich!"
"Quick, pick it up, quick, pick it up..."
"Watch out for the waves, or you'll get hit again..."
The crowd was shouting and yelling, and the scene was in complete chaos.
After that giant wave, besides leaving behind a mess and their disheveled state, there were also all sorts of seafood scattered all over the ground.
Everywhere you look, there they are.
Some were already killed by the waves, some were just stunned, and some were still lively and energetic...
There were so many fish on the ground that they hadn't had time to collect them all before another wave came.
Although the wave was much smaller, it still carried a lot of seafood back into the sea.
Feng Ye set his sights on a large mackerel weighing at least twenty pounds, but he hadn't run more than a few steps before he was pulled back by the rope around his waist.
He was incredibly frustrated.
"Damn, this is really in the way."
Helpless, he could only watch helplessly as it returned to the sea once again.
Untying the rope is impossible; this is the last resort.
Fish may be delicious, but nothing is more important than life.
He hadn't even considered untying the rope on the previous yellow croaker, let alone this large mackerel.
Just as he was about to turn around to pick up other goods, he suddenly saw a familiar orange-yellow color in the churning waves ahead.
"Were the yellow croakers swept back by the waves again?"
Judging from that head, it should be the yellow croaker Wuyu that escaped earlier.
Feng Ye was no longer in a hurry to pick up other goods. He stared excitedly at the yellow croaker and stood there waiting.
If we can catch it, today's harvest will be complete.
It doesn't matter if we don't find any more seafood.
He stared intently, afraid that if he blinked, the yellow croaker would disappear into the waves again.
It's finally appeared again; we can't let it escape again.
The waves surged and crashed against the yellow croaker, pushing it ever closer to the shore.
However, the speed is a bit slow.
The waves were much smaller than before, and the crests barely reached where he was standing.
The yellow croaker was still several meters away from him.
"Damn it, the waves were so big just now, and now they're so small. Are you deliberately messing with me?"
He was extremely anxious, yet helpless, and dared not untie the rope and rush into the waves.
Now all we can do is stare blankly and wait anxiously.
"Ah Ye, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pick it up."
Seeing that he was standing still, Ye Chenliang urged him on.
"You keep picking your things, don't worry about me. That yellow croaker has reappeared, I have to catch it."
Feng Ye answered without turning his head.
From beginning to end, his eyes never left the yellow croaker bobbing up and down in the waves.
"Oh, it's happening again?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenliang quickly turned his head to look and indeed saw that orange-yellow hue in the waves.
He also picked up the seafood on the ground, ran over, stood next to Feng Ye watching, and was ready to help.
Fish worth ten or twenty thousand yuan, we can't miss this opportunity again.
Finally, another powerful wave formed on the sea surface and surged towards us.
Feng Ye clenched his fists nervously, staring intently.
The waves roared in, instantly engulfing the yellow croaker and slamming it ashore.
With quick reflexes, Feng Ye lunged forward and grabbed the yellow croaker as the waves pushed it towards him.
No matter how much it struggled, no matter how much the seawater engulfed it, it did not let go.
“Ah Ye…”
Ye Chenliang, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise and wanted to step forward to help, but he was unable to do so at the moment.
The waves were quite large, and he was swayed and became unsteady. He had to take care of himself first to avoid falling.
Fortunately, Feng Ye was prepared and held his breath as he lunged forward.
Therefore, although it was tossed around by the seawater, it did not choke on any water.
He stood up, holding the yellow croaker, only after the waves receded.
"Got it, got it, hahaha..."
He shouted excitedly, holding the yellow croaker high in the air with a silly grin on his face.
"Impressive, you're really something."
Ye Chenliang was also happy for him, "This is a yellow croaker that's even more expensive than a hairy fish, and it doesn't look particularly special."
"This fish is like the hairy fish; the expensive part is its swim bladder. As for the fish meat, the taste is just average, so it's not worth eating."
"Really? How much does it weigh? How much can it sell for?"
"It weighs about 30 jin (15 kg), and it's no problem to sell it for over 15,000 yuan."
Feng Ye chuckled, picked up the yellow croaker, and went home first.
This fish is not to be underestimated.
If he puts the fish back in the basket and continues collecting them, and then another big wave comes and overturns the basket, taking the fish back into the sea, he'll have no way to regret it.
Secondly, the fish needs to be processed first.
Although the most valuable part of this fish is its swim bladder, its appearance can't be bad either, right?
Therefore, we must bleed it first.
Once inside the house, he found a knife and made a cut each on the gills and tail of the yellow croaker.
Immediately, a spurt of blood gushed out from the two wounds.
He didn't care about anything else and let the blood flow on the ground.
Anyway, when the waves come in, they will seep in through the cracks in the door and wash the ground clean.
He didn't wait for the blood to dry before throwing it into an empty basket.
Just as he turned to go out and continue collecting fish, he suddenly felt a pain in his left knee.
