Feng Ye pulled all the fish traps to the shore and straightened them out.
Then, he estimated the distance between it and the previous trap he had retrieved, and found it to be around 20 meters.
This means that there should be two missing fish traps.
He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
It wasn't just the two fish traps that were stolen; the goods inside weighed at least thirty or forty pounds.
The cost of the fish traps, plus the value of the goods, resulted in a significant loss.
At the same time, he was also somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, only two were lost, which is barely acceptable.
If he lost a few more, he would be heartbroken and might even cause a scene at Xu Laosi's house.
"Brother Ye, how many are missing?"
Seeing Feng Ye's gloomy face, A-Can tentatively asked a question.
Feng Ye sighed: "Two, we lost two fish traps."
"Damn, two fish traps! How much cargo is that?!"
Ah-Can was immediately enraged and said fiercely, "Brother Ye, are we going to find this bastard and settle the score with him, making him pay up?"
"Forget it, two isn't much, it's fine if we lose them."
It's better to avoid trouble than to cause more problems. Feng Xuan didn't want to create any more issues.
However, it's certain that I'm unhappy.
Feng Ye also said, "Let's just let it go this time. We'll just accept this as a loss we had to swallow."
A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.
This incident also reminds us that no matter what happens in the future, we must consider everything carefully and not make hasty decisions.
After saying that, he sighed again and began to tidy up the fish traps that had been pulled ashore, emptying the contents into baskets.
"Damn it, he got off too easily..."
Ah-Can was still indignant, but he didn't mention going to settle scores with Xu Lao-Si again.
After emptying all the goods from the trap, Feng Ye quickly moved on to the next trap.
Fortunately, there were no further problems with the subsequent fish traps, and they were all successfully retrieved.
The results were quite good.
This made all three of them feel a little better.
There are forty fish traps in total...
Uh... no, that's not right.
There should be 38 traps, which collected about 14 baskets of goods.
The weight was less than Feng Ye had initially expected, only about 800 jin (400 catties).
The first trap had so many fish that it gave him overly high expectations.
Even so, such a result is already very satisfactory.
"Alright, we've finished collecting everything. Let's hurry back and pick through it slowly, it's getting dark."
The three of them pushed the cart and carried the baskets of goods that had been placed on the beach up there.
The fish traps were also folded up and placed on the cart.
It's getting late, and there's no way to clean these fish traps now, so I'll just have to take them home and deal with them tomorrow.
...
The goods we brought back this morning have all been sorted.
At this moment, everyone was cleaning their own doorsteps.
In particular, the empty shells left after sorting were all packed into snakeskin bags.
There are people who will buy the empty shells of these shellfish.
However, you need to order in large quantities for people to be willing to make the trip.
Moreover, they are very cheap, so they are better than nothing and can be sold for some money. At least it's better than throwing them back into the sea.
Seashells have many uses.
Oyster farming requires shells as a substrate for oysters to attach and grow.
Feed mills also use seashells, grinding them into powder and adding them to feed to increase the calcium content, which has a certain promoting effect on the growth of poultry and livestock.
Seashells, when burned to ash, can be used as fertilizer, to adjust the pH of the soil, and as an insecticide.
Moreover, shell ash has unique applications in the fields of architecture and decoration, with functions such as fire resistance, humidity regulation, antistatic properties, and light pollution prevention.
In addition, some handicraft factories also use seashells as raw materials.
They are processed into various exquisite handicrafts for people to appreciate and collect.
Of course, all of this requires a large number of seashells.
The shells that remained after they sorted through the seashells, though numerous, were still far from meeting the standard that would make someone willing to make the trip.
However, it's not just those three companies that have it.
The number of empty shells left over after the entire village had sorted them out was quite considerable.
Perhaps someone will contact buyers to come to the village.
In the end, everyone will be able to make some money from it, which can be considered a way to make use of waste.
"We just finished sorting and haven't even had a chance to rest yet, and you've brought back so many more. You don't want us to get any sleep."
Seeing them push the cart back, everyone put down what they were doing and gathered around.
Xiao Chunxiu even started complaining, but her face was full of smiles.
"No way, with so many people, it'll be done in no time."
Feng Ye laughed and said, "We'll split these goods equally among the three of us. When we release them later, don't mix them up with my goods."
"After sorting, put these into the workshop so that there won't be any mistakes."
As Feng Jialing spoke, he picked up a basket of goods and placed it on the ground.
Aunt Ling beamed and praised, "Ah Ye is so clever! He actually thought of putting the traps down. In just one day, he's brought back so much stuff."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "I just wanted to give it a try, and I never expected to gain so much."
"This harvest is truly amazing; no one would believe that it was brought up by 40 fish traps."
Feng Jiaqing chimed in, his words filled with amazement.
Ah-chan corrected, "It's not 40, it's 38."
"I remember there were supposed to be 40 traps, how come there are only 38 left?"
