A worker was weighing the fish, while Li Qingqing was calculating the money on a calculator.
"These wavy grouper and green grouper are quite big, almost 10 jin each, and they're priced at 68 yuan per jin."
"Okay, let's do it your way, Sister Li."
Small striped wavy grouper and blue grouper are usually around 40 yuan per kilogram, but now they can sell for over 60 yuan, which is already a very good price.
8 catties of cloud-patterned grouper, 58 yuan per catty, totaling 464 yuan. 17 catties of wavy grouper, 68 yuan per catty, totaling 1156 yuan.
The grouper weighed 16.8 jin (approximately 8.4 kg), priced at 68 yuan per jin, for a total of 1143 pieces. The small grouper weighed 1.9 jin (approximately 0.8 kg), priced at 190 yuan per jin, for a total of 361 pieces.
16 jin of clams, 30 yuan per jin, totaling 480 yuan. 112 jin of various mixed clams, 8 yuan per jin, totaling 896 yuan.
2.8 jin of conch, 100 yuan per jin, total 280 yuan. 1.3 jin of three-knife fish, 420 yuan per jin, total 546 yuan.
Five catties of horseshoe snails cost 38 yuan per catty, totaling 190 yuan. Other smaller seafood items, added together, totaled 1080 yuan.
Chen Zhiyao earned a total of 6,596 yuan from beachcombing and fishing today.
Including the 4,400 yuan she received from fishing boats, she earned a total of [amount missing] yuan today.
Not bad, not bad, another day of earning over 10,000 yuan.
After all the money from selling fish today arrived in her account, Chen Zhiyao's mental points page also refreshed simultaneously.
The little dream in my mind couldn't wait to share it with Chen Zhiyao:
"Tangtang, you've leveled up again! You've successfully unlocked level 2 of the fishing section."
Upon hearing Xiaomeng's words, Chen Zhiyao immediately opened the points page.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing Level 2, Beachcombing Level 3
Points: 6352
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 30 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: three hours each day for both the land and sea areas.
The system showed that she had successfully upgraded, and the seawater vision function had increased from 10 meters to 30 meters.
The Level 2 fishing section was unlocked, and Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to open the system's shop. She wanted to see the potions that could enhance her physique.
Just then, she heard a familiar voice:
"Tangtang, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go, let's go to the market next door to buy a shopping cart."
Hearing her father's urging voice, Chen Zhiyao could only reluctantly exit the system.
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang earned more than 6,000 yuan today. They were extremely proud as they walked out the door, as if they were the chosen ones.
Chen Zhiyao, who had upgraded to the second level of the fishing section, was even more smug than the other two, her upturned lips never leaving her face.
The wealthy grandfather and his two grandsons bought three foldable portable strollers.
In the future, when you go fishing, you can put all kinds of fishing gear on it and drag it around. It will also be very convenient to use it to transport your catch when you come back.
In addition, Chen Weiqiang and his grandfather, who were completely carried away by their newfound wealth, devoutly bought a poached chicken and some pastries.
I plan to visit Tanah Lot Temple on my way back to thank the sea god for his blessings.
Chen Zhiyao also bought half a roast goose and a pound of char siu, planning to have a nice meal when she got back.
Grandpa Chen bought three raincoats and three small folding stools with backrests.
The grandfather, his grandson, and his grandchildren entered the market empty-handed, but when they left, their three small carts were piled high with all sorts of things.
On the way back, Grandpa Chen was in charge of driving the boat, while Chen Weiqiang was calling the newly hired employees at the shop to find out about the day's events at the fishing tackle shop.
As for Chen Zhiyao, she ran to the deck at the stern of the ship and lay down to look at the stars.
But actually, she was looking at the latest items in the system's shop.
Strength-boosting potion
One tube costs 10,000 points, is colorless and odorless, and increases strength by 10%. Up to 10 tubes can be used together, and the effect is long-lasting.
"10,000 points, and one of them only increases strength by 10%. This thing is too expensive."
After glancing at it twice, Chen Zhiyao, who couldn't afford it, continued reading.
Physical Enhancement Potion
One bottle costs 30,000 points. It is colorless and odorless. Drinking it can regulate the body and make the body function 5 years younger (each person can only drink a maximum of 2 bottles, and excessive consumption will not have an effect).
Upon seeing this potion that enhances physical fitness, Chen Zhiyao was incredibly tempted and planned to accumulate more points so that everyone in her family could have a bottle.
After looking at the medicine, Chen Zhiyao went to see the level 2 lucky fishing rod.
The catch rate increased by 30%, and the fish attracted were all large ones weighing 50 kilograms.
Chen Zhiyao's eyes reddened at the sight. It was a 50-pound behemoth! If only she could exchange it for it before going deep-sea fishing.
At this moment, Xiaomeng suddenly spoke up to remind her:
"Tangtang, you're still too weak. Even if you use the X-ray glasses to double your strength, you'll still only have about the same strength as an adult male."
"If you encounter something that weighs fifty or sixty pounds, you might not be able to pull it up."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyao was stunned; she had never actually thought about this.
"That's true. Although there's a crane on the boat to help pull the fish, fishing still requires strength."
"Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting work. Let's buy the strength-enhancing potion first, otherwise we won't be able to reel in a big fish."
Chen Zhiyao looked at her points again; she only had a little over 6,000, not even enough to buy a single potion to boost her strength.
The 30,000-point enhancement potion and the level 2 lucky fishing rod are ridiculously expensive.
Impoverished Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but complain under her breath:
"Sigh, these points are like money in my pocket; there's never enough of them every day."
Seagull Island is relatively close to the pier, and the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson returned to the village at 6 o'clock.
Chen Weiqiang carried large and small bags off the boat, while Grandpa Chen carried a bucket of various delicious seafood.
Chen Zhiyao also had a variety of delicious food in her hands, including roast goose, char siu, and a 4-pound wavy grouper that she had just bought in town.
There was so much stuff that it almost couldn't fit everything in the back of the tricycle.
They came back early today, and Yan Shuting has just started making dinner.
The wavy grouper was already quite weak, so Chen Zhiyao told her mother to cook it quickly.
After putting their things down, the three of them hurriedly went to the Temple of Poseidon.
Today is the 15th of the lunar calendar, and even though it's almost dark, the Tanah Lot Temple is still packed with people.
The grandfather, his grandson, and his grandchildren placed the various offerings they had brought on the table, and then kowtowed and offered incense with devout expressions.
After leaving the Tanah Lot Temple, Chen Zhiyao felt completely relaxed.
Tomorrow is high tide, and she plans to go beachcombing at Dolphin Island. She hasn't been to that mysterious cave in over a month.
As soon as she got home, Chen Zhiyao shared her thoughts:
"Dad, Grandpa, let's go to Dolphin Island tomorrow. The tide will be low tomorrow, so we can go check out the cave. The goose barnacles at the cave entrance should have grown back."
“Great! It’s been a while since I’ve been to Dolphin Island.”
Grandpa Chen always dotes on his granddaughter, and usually Chen Zhiyao goes wherever she wants to go, and this time was no exception.
Chen Weiqiang, who had never been to the mysterious cave on Dolphin Island, was even more excited than his daughter.
