Thank you to the reader for providing the beautiful sunset photos.
With the help of the bait, various marine creatures nearby swam towards Chen Zhiyao.
The fishing net spread out in a perfect circle in mid-air before falling onto the sea.
Various kinds of seafood underwater were caught in the net and got stuck in it while trying to escape.
Chen Zhiyao has been fishing every day lately, and she has developed some muscle in her arms, making her much stronger.
With a strong pull of her hands, she lifted the net, laden with fish, from the sea.
The net was teeming with fish, including lobster, blue crab, golden pomfret, turbot, yellowtail, black sea bream, and cuttlefish—a total of seven varieties.
The catch waits for no one, so Chen Zhiyao quickly untied the delicious seafood.
Then, the net in his hand once again drew a perfect circle in mid-air.
When the fishing net was pulled up again, she was amazed.
Blue wrasse, striped pepper bream, angelfish, butterflyfish, and spinytail are all beautiful coral fish with vibrant colors and delicate patterns.
Chen Zhiyao is somewhat attracted to beautiful things, and seeing these colorful and pretty sea fish, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
One net after another, the catch on the nets kept changing.
From various sea fish to blue crabs and small blue lobsters, and then to all sorts of worthless small fish and shrimp.
Happy times always fly by, and before we knew it, it was already 4 p.m.
The fishing bait on the boat had long been used up, and today's catch was bountiful. The family was happily preparing to return home.
Grandpa Chen had just reached the driver's seat door when he suddenly slapped his forehead:
"I almost forgot, we still haven't collected the gillnets and fish traps."
Before landing on the island, the group set up sticky nets and fish traps nearby, but they were so excited that they forgot about them.
Fortunately, it wasn't far away; the fishing boat arrived in about 5 minutes.
The family worked for half an hour and harvested more than 30 kilograms of crabs and more than 100 kilograms of various kinds of sea fish.
In addition, there are quite a few good things inside the system's cage.
Small green lobster, sesame grouper, wavy scallop, pepper snapper, and bluefin tuna are all expensive, high-end seafood.
Today was a great start, and everyone's faces were beaming with joy.
After cleaning up the fish caught on the boat, Chen Zhiyao pulled out two bags of sunflower seeds from somewhere.
The family sat casually on the deck, enjoying the beautiful sunset in the distance while chatting and eating sunflower seeds.
The cheerful laughter scared away many seagulls circling in the air.
Amidst laughter and conversation, the fishing boats returned to the town's dock.
A corner of the pier
Many people are still celebrating the holiday at home today, and the dock looks much quieter.
Compared to the usual hustle and bustle, there was a more peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
I must say, it has a unique charm.
During the Chinese New Year holiday, all the people at the purchasing station were on vacation, so Yang Jiajun and Li Qingqing had to carry the fish themselves.
The first items to be settled were the fish caught using fishing nets and traps.
Six small green dragons, totaling 1286 pieces; two sesame grouper, totaling 1990 pieces; one wavy slab fish, totaling 2880 pieces.
Three pepper snapper, totaling 1680 pieces; two bluefin tuna, totaling 860 pieces. Various sea fish caught with gillnets, totaling 4200 pieces.
17 jin of mud crabs, totaling 935 yuan. 15 jin of blue crabs, totaling 825 yuan.
The total came to a total of [number] blocks, and Yang Jiajun rounded it up to an integer, settling the payment by the block.
A family of five, 2940 yuan per person.
Next up is Chen Zhiyao, who caught the most fish.
Grouper (slanted stripe) 23.6 jin, 208 yuan per jin, total 4909 yuan. Croaker 28.8 jin, 60 yuan per jin, total 1728 yuan.
Sesame grouper, 16.6 jin (approximately 8.8 kg), 98 yuan per jin, totaling 1627 yuan. Various types of rock bream, totaling 6200 yuan…
"Reset to zero..."
"Reset to zero..."
"Reset to zero..."
Chen Zhiyao went beachcombing and fishing, catching so many different kinds of fish that Yang Jiajun spent a long time calculating it with a calculator.
Adding the 2940 yuan she received, her total income for the day was [amount missing].
Upon hearing this long string of numbers, Chen Zhiyao was overjoyed, her mind filled with thoughts of 28,000.
The people around her were also happy for her, and they grinned broadly.
The remaining few also caught quite a lot of fish.
Grandpa Chen made a profit, Grandma Chen made a profit, Yan Shuting made a profit.
Besides beachcombing, all three of them fished on fishing boats, but Grandma Chen earned 4,000 yuan less than the other two.
Chen Zhiyao thought the old lady's catch was less because she was missing a lucky fishing rod.
It seems we should also prepare a lucky fishing rod for Grandma.
Chen Weiqiang had a good harvest from beachcombing in the morning, and with the fish he caught, he earned a total of [amount missing].
This was the first time Chen Weiqiang had earned more than 20,000 yuan, and he was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear.
Just as they were having a good time, Yang Jiajun told them another piece of good news.
It turned out that he had invited several well-known big bosses over in the morning, and the abalone, pearls, and Melo pearls had already been sold.
"I was just about to tell you about this at noon, but I didn't expect you to be out at sea. I've been waiting for you to come."
As he spoke, Yang Jiajun took out a receipt issued by the purchasing station and handed it to Chen Weiqiang.
After glancing at it a few times, Chen Weiqiang grinned and handed it to his daughter.
Chen Zhiyao looked down at the receipt in her hand: 36,000 for Melo pearls and 38,000 for abalone pearls, totaling 74,000.
I didn't expect these two beads to sell for such a high price. Even after deducting Mr. Yang's 20%, there's still a few dollars left.
Yang Jiajun had made a lot of money from the Chen family's fish catch during this period. He wasn't greedy, so he rounded it up and transferred 60,000 yuan directly to Chen Zhiyao.
Upon seeing the amount in the payment information, Chen Zhiyao was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to the back of her ears.
Unexpectedly, she earned 88,000 yuan on the first day of the new year. In just one day, she earned more than she had saved in two years of work.
After receiving the money from selling the fish, the family walked out beaming, as if they had taken some kind of magic potion.
Looking at the distant sea, Chen Zhiyao felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
"Let's go, let's go have a big meal! It's on me today! Order whatever you want!" Chen Zhiyao turned around and said with a bright and cheerful expression.
On such a wonderful day, we should definitely have a big meal to celebrate.
Chen Weiqiang, always eager to join in the fun, cheerfully chimed in:
"Our Tangtang is so generous. Let's go to the most expensive restaurant in town."
The family soon arrived at a magnificent restaurant, and Chen Zhiyao ordered all of the restaurant's signature dishes.
The family enjoyed their meal, but poor Ah Huang and Xue Tuan waited so long their necks grew long, and no one came back.
