Only when it's actually hoisted up can you see the whole picture; it's at least half again as big as the previous net.
Xiao Hu went up and pulled the rope at the bottom of the net. In just over ten seconds, he piled up a crab mountain on the deck that was even higher than before!
More than the previous net!
Even purer than the previous net!
They're all swimming crabs!
Lively swimming crabs!
"Damn it, this is what a net-bursting is all about!" Ye Cheng roared. This is more like it. One ton is nothing.
The only worry is the lack of manpower.
Ye Cheng didn't dare to continue browsing the internet and came over to help sort and pick through the items.
It took almost two hours to finish this job.
Ye Cheng checked the time; it was already 4 a.m., and there was still time to cast another net.
He and Xiaohu tidied up the net, and this time they sped up considerably, setting the net directly.
The remaining tasks were left to the three of them to continue tidying up, while Ye Cheng began to pull the net.
The sky grew incredibly dark; it was the darkest time before dawn, but many lights could already be seen flashing across the sea.
Around 4 o'clock, many fishing boats began to return to port, as they were rushing to bring the first batch of seafood of the day back to the dock.
By 6 a.m., it was already completely light. After working all night, all four of them were exhausted and had no energy left.
However, seeing the fishing net being hoisted up, the group instantly regained some of their energy.
This net was a huge success, but the four of them had absolutely no interest in seeing the crabs scattered all over the ground.
"Brother, I don't want to move anymore. My hands are numb from tying up the crabs." Little Tiger pitifully held up his two hands, which had now turned into claws.
"Hey, second brother, how about we skip tying up this batch and just get them ashore?"
Although Widow Zhang didn't say anything, she looked worried, as this was the first time she had ever been troubled by having too much seafood.
Ye Cheng was even less willing to be tied up. He was fine with being put in the net, but he really didn't want to do it for another two hours.
"Okay, let's go back and recruit people at the dock, we'll do it on the spot."
Damn it, as long as you have money, you don't have to worry about not having people to do the work.
Let's be straightforward and just put this batch of swimming crabs in one of those big water tanks and take them back. We'll deal with it when we get there.
Halfway through tidying up, Xiaohu suddenly let out a strange cry.
"Hey bro, look at this fish!"
Among the crabs, a strange group of large fish was lying.
Ye Cheng glanced at it twice, and immediately understood what it was upon seeing its peculiar shape.
"Take them all back with us, they're all goods that can be sold for money anyway."
It was already past 7 o'clock when we got back to the dock. The first group of people who came back had already sold their goods and gone home, and the shopkeepers who had collected the goods had also started to rest.
However, upon seeing a large ship preparing to enter the dock from afar, these people instantly jumped up.
This ship is clearly Ye Cheng's; it's the only one of its kind at the dock.
"Quick, look! Ye Cheng's ship is back!"
"It's great that this ship is big; we can see it from this far away."
"I wonder how much cargo he hauled in this boat. Most people only get 30 baskets, so this big boat must have 60 baskets."
"How is that possible? One net from a big boat is more than three nets from a small boat. I'd say it's definitely over 100 baskets."
"Oh dear, stop talking nonsense. We'll be docked soon, and we'll know how much we take out in a bit."
The large ship slowly approached the shore. Duan Chunsheng jumped off the ship and secured the mooring ropes. Then, a group of people who had come to collect the goods and those who had come to watch the spectacle gathered around.
"Chunsheng, how many have you done?"
"Yes, yes, are there 100 baskets?"
Duan Chunsheng smiled mysteriously.
"Guess?"
"Damn it! Guess my ass! Hurry up and give us a number so we can have some fun too."
"Damn it, Chunsheng, why have you become so slutty?"
As the group chatted, Ye Cheng and his two companions began carrying the crabs upstairs.
10 baskets.
20 baskets.
30 baskets.
A group of people stood on top, counting as the number of items increased, their voices rising higher and higher.
After carrying a few baskets, Ye Cheng saw that they were all just onlookers. "Why not take advantage of this?" he exclaimed loudly.
"Hey everyone, stop counting! Come on up and help us out, there are too many."
Upon hearing Ye Cheng's offer to lend a hand, a group of people rushed over immediately, eager for a lively gathering.
A dozen or so people worked together and quickly carried all the baskets of swimming crabs up.
"Quickly count how many there are!"
60.
80.
"100, 100."
"Damn, it's 130."
"150!"
"150 baskets!!!"
The crowd cheered. 150 baskets! That's the most there's ever been at the dock.
Although it wasn't theirs, everyone was very excited to witness this moment.
They all gathered around the crab and started yelling and screaming.
The poor swimming crab had never seen anything like this before.
You won't let me stay in the sea peacefully.
Not only do you insist on making us come up here to be eaten, but you also put on this chaotic, disorganized spectacle for us.
If you're so capable, why don't you sing "The Song of the Sea Dragon King"?
Seeing everyone so happy, Ye Chengcheng's mood inexplicably improved. However, he couldn't just be happy; he still needed to make money.
"Alright, alright, everyone stop for a second," Ye Cheng shouted, raising his hands.
Soon, the scene quieted down, and everyone looked at Ye Cheng, wanting to see what this record-breaking man had to say.
"Uh, I know you're all in a hurry, but don't rush me." Ye Cheng calmly made a little gesture, which immediately drew laughter from the audience.
"Ye Lao Er, you really know how to talk."
"Since you're so good at talking, just say more, hahaha."
Ye Cheng gestured for everyone to quiet down again.
"Everyone, there are still a few things to do. First, is there anyone free? I still have some swimming crabs that haven't been tied up yet. I need ten people, 150 yuan each, to help me tie up all the crabs and then sort them by size."
Open to both men and women! First come, first served!
As soon as Ye Cheng finished speaking, the crowd below erupted in cheers.
It's 150 yuan per person.
Moreover, it's suitable for both men and women; tying up crabs doesn't take long.
Even if it's only half a day, that works out to 300 a day, which is almost equivalent to a monthly income of over 10,000.
"My wife's here, I'll go get her!"
"I have two, I have two."
"Forget calling me 'wife,' I'll have one!"
"I'm free too, I'll come!"
"Damn it! Forget about buying seafood, I'll just work as a laborer!"
Soon, there were 12 people standing on the boat.
There was nothing Ye Cheng could do; the crowd surged up all at once, and he felt too embarrassed to rush off.
It's only a matter of 300 yuan more, so everyone's happy.
"Alright, everyone take a look. I have three more large water tanks here, and there are still quite a few crabs inside. Please help me tie them up." Ye Cheng led 12 people to the boat and took a look, which instantly startled everyone.
"There are still so many?"
"No way, there are probably dozens of baskets left."
"At least fifty or sixty."
"My goodness, that's over 200 baskets on this boat!"
Upon seeing so many crabs, someone immediately ran to the bow of the boat and shouted.
"There are still 50 baskets left, that's over 200 baskets!!!"
