"How come I didn't think of that? You're quick-witted."
Despite this, Xiao Guowen did not feel annoyed.
Even if he had thought of it, he wouldn't have done it.
The reason was that his home was quite far away, and he received the news a bit late.
This round trip, plus the time spent setting the trap, will take at least an hour.
With so many people, by the time the traps are set up, there probably won't be much cargo left on the beach.
Instead of wasting time, you might as well find some fish, shrimp, and crabs, and dig up more shellfish.
"I'm just giving it a try; I don't know how much I'll catch. It's a pity we don't have any nets at home. If we used nets to block the tide and wait for it to recede, we'd have a much bigger catch."
"No matter what, it's still more than what we gained, right?"
Why don't you just say I get up early?
"You got up early? Are you up earlier than me? I didn't sleep all night, look at my dark circles."
Xiao Guowen pointed to his dark circles and looked at Feng Ye with a resentful expression.
"I just didn't expect so much cargo to wash ashore, otherwise you wouldn't have had a chance."
Feng Ye immediately laughed: "So you're just jealous of me?"
"Of course I'm jealous, how could I not be?"
Xiao Guowen rolled his eyes. "The house is leaking terribly. I spent the whole night looking for a place to shelter from the rain."
"Damn it, you actually took a nap."
"Haha, how can you blame me? It's your own fault for not building a new house."
"Damn, it seems we really need to build a house. The tiled roof is no good. It's okay when it drizzles, but it leaks when it rains heavily, especially during typhoons, when the tiles are blown off."
Feng Ye patted Xiao Guowen on the shoulder and laughed, "Perfect timing, build over here, let's be neighbors."
"Isn't this place a bit awkward?"
Xiao Guowen frowned. "The terrain is too low. The typhoon was so strong last night, it must have flooded."
"It is indeed flooded, but there are advantages too. We can see the situation at the beach as soon as we step outside, so we have an advantage today."
Feng Ye said proudly, "Moreover, we collected a lot of fish yesterday afternoon; the waves washed the seafood right to our doorstep."
Xiao Guowen's mouth dropped open: "There's such a good thing?"
"Of course, I also found a 30-pound yellow croaker."
"Damn, what kind of luck did you have? How come all the good things happened to you?"
"Hehe, if I hadn't built my house here, how could I have encountered such a good thing?"
Feng Ye chuckled, feeling exceptionally pleased.
Xiao Guowen immediately fell silent, his face full of envy.
"If you really want to build a house, I sincerely suggest you build it here."
Feng Ye added fuel to the fire, "Besides, the location is low-lying, so what's the big deal if the first floor gets flooded? We can just move to the second floor when the typhoon comes. It's impossible for the waves to be so big as to flood the second floor, right?"
Xiao Guowen nodded: "Okay, I'll think about it."
If the idea of building a house was just something he said casually, now he's really considering it.
It seems that building it on the beach side is indeed quite nice.
"By the way, go check on the workshop later. Yesterday afternoon, a lot of fish were blown into the sky by the typhoon. Your workshop probably lost quite a few as well."
Feng Ye suddenly remembered this and offered a reminder.
Xiao Guowen was stunned. After regaining his senses, he asked in disbelief, "Fish falling from the sky into the workshop?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. Countless fish were falling from the sky, like dumplings being dropped into a pot."
We were just picking up fish outside when we got hit by the falling debris…
Feng Ye vividly recounted his extraordinary encounter yesterday afternoon.
"When I got up this morning, I saw that we had a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs in our workshop. I'm sure you have some in your workshop too."
Xiao Guowen was stunned and it took him a long time to react.
"Okay, I'll go take a look right away."
He finished speaking hastily, then turned and ran away.
Feng Ye didn't stay long and went home with the others, pushing a cart full of goods.
They unloaded the goods at their respective doorsteps and first picked up the goods scattered around their doorsteps.
Afterwards, he, Feng Xuan, and A-Can went into the workshop to collect the scavengers.
Yesterday afternoon's fish rain left fish everywhere in the workshop; we need to quickly collect them and sell them.
However, the workshop doesn't belong to just one person; all three have a share.
Therefore, they were all thrown together, and the money would be split directly after they were sold.
The workshop was very large, and naturally there were many goods inside. All sorts of things were added up, filling a full twelve baskets.
This shows just how crazy and spectacular yesterday's fish rain was.
The three of them were very happy to see the twelve baskets full of seafood.
Feng Ye glanced in the direction of the dock: "Uncle Fa should be coming to the dock by now, we'll deliver it there to sell."
Feng Xuan chimed in, "Yes, these fish had already been here overnight. Luckily, the temperature was low, so they're still fresh."
If it stays there any longer without ice to keep it from getting stale.
"Then hurry up, we all have goods to deliver to our three homes."
Ah-Can urged him on.
Without further delay, the three of them put the goods on the cart and pushed it out.
There were still many people on the beach at this time, all guarding the piles of goods.
Every household collected quite a lot; those who arrived early collected a dozen or twenty bags, and even those who arrived later collected several bags.
With so much cargo, it's impossible to carry it back bag by bag by hand; tools are necessary.
Everyone is waiting for their family members to come over with their carts.
Their home is quite a distance from here, so it will take some time.
Some people figured they had nothing better to do, so they stood on the edge of the shallow water and waited for the waves to bring the goods up.
The three of them pushed the cart out of the workshop gate and saw a person standing in a deeper part of the workshop.
The seawater was up to his thighs, and waves kept crashing against him.
But this person disregarded the danger, bent over, and put both hands into the water, doing something unknown.
"Holy crap, with such huge waves, how could this person go this deep? Are they crazy?"
Ah-chan exclaimed in surprise.
Feng Xuan saw it too, frowned, and said uncertainly, "That person must be slacking off, right?"
"It seems so; they really value money over their lives."
Ah-Can pursed his lips, his face full of disapproval.
Feng Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "This is bad."
That spot looks like where they set up the traps.
It was a shallow area before, but it has now become a deep area due to the rising tide.
"Damn it, this guy is stealing our goods from the cage."
"What? Stealing our goods?"
Ah-Can's expression immediately changed.
He put the cart down on the ground and dashed off in a flash.
