Feng Xuan, quick-witted and agile, also spotted the little green dragon: "Hey, there's a little green dragon."
He picked it out separately and put it in an empty basket on the cart.
This is such a good thing, we can't let it get damaged.
"It's a pity there's only one. It would be great if there were more."
"One trap per animal, 40 traps, that's 40 animals, right?"
Feng Ye looked up at the sky: "It's not even dark yet, why are you dreaming?"
Feng Xuan rolled her eyes: "Get lost, can't I even think about it?"
"That's not exactly your idea. If you're saying there might be some more fish traps among all those behind, then that would be more accurate."
"Brother Xuan, hurry up and bring the basket over once you're done collecting them."
At this moment, Ah-Can on the other end also brought up a fish trap and was calling for Feng Xuan to come over and load the goods.
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore, I'm coming right now."
After Feng Xuan finished speaking, he pushed the cart over to A-Can's side.
"Ah Chan, how much stock do you have?"
Feng Ye asked a question without stopping, casually tidying up the fish trap he had brought and tossing it aside.
There's no need to organize it so meticulously now; it will need to be cleaned after everything is collected.
Ah-Can said happily, "The big net has collected more than 30 jin of fish from both ends of the fish collection bag."
Feng Ye was quite happy.
Although it wasn't as much as the batch of goods he collected from the trap, about 10 pounds less, it was still very good.
The typhoon had just passed, and the waves had swept up so much cargo that we had such a good harvest.
Normally, when using fish traps, it's considered good if you can get two or three pounds of fish from one trap.
He picked up the rope of the trap he had untied earlier and was stepping on, and continued to collect the next trap.
Soon, this fish trap was also retrieved.
Although it was still a good harvest, it was much less than the fish traps we caught earlier.
It's not even as good as the trap Ah-Can collected; it only weighs less than 20 kilograms.
Moreover, there were no surprises.
This was expected, and Feng Ye was not disappointed.
This is normal; it's impossible for every fish trap to have that many fish, and good fish are even more rare and hard to come by.
I collected several fish traps in a row, and the harvest was pretty good. Even the worst trap weighed more than ten kilograms.
The people queuing to sell their goods at the dock were very curious about what the fish traps were catching.
Some people, who were particularly interested and had family members with them, told their families to keep an eye on things while they went to the beach to join in the fun.
When they saw several baskets of miscellaneous goods laid out on the beach, they were all filled with envy.
Wow, so much stuff!
"How many traps did you collect to get this much stock?"
"So many scallops, and plenty of fish, shrimp, and crabs too. They can sell for a lot of money."
"How many traps did you set in total?"
"You guys are really smart; you actually thought of putting a fish trap down there..."
Faced with the envious glances and chattering questions from the crowd, Feng Ye simply smiled and gave perfunctory answers.
Everyone knew he was busy, so some people left after watching for a while, but others stayed and said a few words from time to time.
Feng Ye didn't have time to pay attention to them and focused on putting away the ground cage.
Each time he retrieved a fish trap, he felt a surge of joy.
Although some of the traps yielded fewer fish, the overall harvest was still quite substantial.
That fish trap was definitely the right choice.
I was so wise!
It's a pity there aren't enough fish traps, only 40.
If he had known he would have such a good harvest, he would have found a way to get enough fish traps, whether by buying or borrowing them at the last minute.
Then keep dropping it along the coast until you reach the rocky area.
Even one row isn't enough; you have to put several rows.
If that's the case, the rewards will be unimaginable.
Just as Feng Ye was indulging in hindsight and daydreaming, he suddenly noticed that the cage was getting lighter and lighter as he tightened it.
That's really strange!
As he was wondering, the entire fish trap was pulled out of the water.
He only realized what was happening when he saw that the fish-collecting bag was open and not connected to the next fish trap.
This cage was stolen by Xu Laosi in the morning.
"Damn Xu Laosi..."
Before he could finish cursing, he suddenly felt a pang of anxiety, tossed the trap aside, and rushed to check on the next one.
However, he searched in the water for a long time but couldn't find the next fish trap.
"That damned Xu Laosi..."
Clearly, the next fish trap had also been stolen.
After stealing it, Xu Laosi did not connect it to the traps at both ends.
As a result, the fish trap was swept away by the waves and its whereabouts are unknown.
They used small anchors to secure the traps when placing them, but not every trap needed them.
Instead, a small anchor is placed every few fish traps, which is enough to secure the fish traps and prevent them from being swept away by the waves.
"Brother Ye, what's wrong?"
Ah Can looked up when he heard Feng Ye's cursing.
"The trap is gone..."
"Damn it, I didn't beat him enough this morning. I should have given him a good beating..."
When Feng Ye recounted the incident, not only Ah Can but also Feng Xuan couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.
"That bastard is despicable. We only took one bag of goods from him; we let him off too easily..."
"Yeah, that's too easy on him."
Ah-Can echoed, then said fiercely, "We'll go find him and settle the score later. We can't just let it go like this because he lost our trap."
