Cao Zhiqiang didn't dwell on it, taking it as Wu An showing off, and secretly cursing the guy for being so lucky.
Mai Hangyu shouted from the puddles that were being pumped out, "Brother, the water level here has dropped a lot. Can I go down and play in it later?"
Wu An went over to take a look and saw that the water level in the pond had dropped by two-thirds after he had been catching fish for half an hour.
He nodded: "Okay, but be careful."
The pit isn't stable, and if you bump into something, especially if you get a cut or bleed, it can be quite troublesome, since this environment is prone to infection.
Mai Hangyu agreed with some excitement.
Wu An and A Qing sorted the seafood a little and put the fish basket into a nearby puddle to keep it alive.
After finishing their work, Mai Hangyu and Cao Zhiqiang started shouting at each other.
Wu An hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mai Hangyu pointed at Cao Zhiqiang and sneered, "Brother, is your classmate out of his mind?"
"They actually asked me if I was a shill you hired."
"Who is he? Why would you need to show off to him?"
Wu An smiled and said, "Alright, don't bother with him."
Subtext: This person is definitely mentally ill.
Cao Zhiqiang's face was red and his neck was thick, it was hard to tell whether he was angry or frustrated.
Nobody cares what he does.
Wu An and his two companions saw the bottom of the pit and went down into it one after another.
The woman didn't say anything, but looked at the seafood thrashing around in the snakeskin bag. She just muttered to herself, "So this really can make money." She quickly walked to the edge of the puddle to watch them catch fish.
As soon as Mai Hangyu came down, he saw a big fish in front of him. He quickly reached out to grab it, grabbed it, and happily raised it up, only to be slapped hard across the face by the fish's tail.
Ouch, my face!
Mai Hangyu screamed and fell into the water. Enraged, he slapped the sea bass several times, which made the sea bass thrash even more violently.
A man and a fish started fighting in the water.
Wu An and A Qing were thoroughly enjoying themselves; sometimes, a man's happiness is just that simple.
"Hey, there's movement under this rock." Wu An muttered to himself, quickly walked over, reached under the rock and felt around. The gap was quite large, and he touched a fish as soon as he put his hand in.
It's quite smooth, and you can't touch it in the blink of an eye.
However, the crevice under the stone was a small, isolated puddle. Wu An quickly called A Qing over to help, and the two of them worked together to move the stone away.
"Clap clap clap".
The stone was moved aside, and the fish in the small puddle seemed to realize they had been exposed, and they thrashed about violently.
Aqing grabbed one and looked at it in her hand.
Wu An also stretched out his hands and pressed down on the largest one.
"It's black-haired."
They shouted in unison, both seeing the smiles on each other's faces.
The woman, standing by the pit, exclaimed excitedly, "I know this fish! It's very expensive, costing two or three hundred yuan per pound!"
Cao Zhiqiang looked surprised.
He had never seen this fish before and never expected it to be so expensive.
He saw several fish in the puddle, and realized that these could sell for six or seven hundred yuan, which was more than his daily wage.
Mai Hangyu was also a little surprised and asked, "Brother, is this fish so expensive?"
Wu An nodded: "It's quite expensive, delicious, and highly nutritious. It's also relatively rare; currently, it seems to be only found in the wild."
Actually, you can tell from Mai Hangyu's inquiry that this fish is very rare, and even the locals don't know much about it.
The price of any seafood is affected by the region, season, and market conditions. The price of black sea bream is also subject to change. Here, people can occasionally catch or fish for it, and the price is actually not bad.
In other coastal areas, it could fetch an even higher price.
If sold inland, the price is even more outrageously high.
Mai Hangyu asked, "How delicious can it be?"
Wu An said, "Let's go to your house tonight, steam a fish and try it, then we'll know."
Mai Hangyu hesitated: "If you're going to sell it for money, it's not appropriate for us to eat it."
Wu An waved his hand and said nothing.
Whether it's suitable or not, that's entirely up to him.
The puddle was full of black hairy cats, probably a whole family. Now they were all neatly put into Wu An's bucket, some big and some small. The one he caught was the biggest, weighing two or three pounds.
Even the smaller ones weigh about half a pound, which isn't actually that small.
I didn't count the smaller ones; I just grabbed them and threw them into other puddles nearby.
As expected of a water pit that can completely deplete your luck points, this trip was worthwhile with just this many black-haired creatures.
Keep catching them.
They splashed water everywhere in the puddle, which made everyone very happy.
Aqing took two steps and stepped on a blue crab.
Although there was so much seafood that it was impossible to catch it all, Wu An still reminded them, "You two should be careful. Use the tongs first, or make sure you know what it is before you grab it with your hands."
The two of them replied without even looking up.
Wu An continued moving stones, much like opening a blind box; who knew whether a surprise or a shock lay beneath each stone? Luckily, he was fortunate.
Basically, everyone gained something.
"Hey, another litter of black-haired fowl!" Wu An moved a stone aside and exclaimed happily. This litter must weigh four or five pounds in total.
That's about a thousand yuan.
The woman on the shore saw it clearly and said enviously, "Zhiqiang, your classmate is really lucky."
Cao Zhiqiang grunted twice.
Catching fish is a lot of fun.
The three of them began to search in the puddle, chasing the fish around, splashing water everywhere, but in the end, none of them could escape their "poisonous hands".
Mai Hangyu exclaimed, "Brother, this is so much fun!"
"Let's make another puddle."
Catching fish and shrimp can be addictive, and he's already somewhat addicted.
Wu An checked the time and said, "No, the tide is about to come in. It would be a disaster if we pumped it out halfway and the water rose up."
"Next time."
Mai Hangyu then gave up.
Before he knew it, the bucket beside him was full. Ah Qing took a snakeskin bag and dumped the contents into it all at once. He searched for more than half an hour and moved several stones, but to no avail. Only then did Wu An stop.
He slowly straightened up, his bones cracking and popping.
Aqing asked, "Brother, are we not going to look anymore?"
Wu An nodded.
Aqing also stopped and said, "We've been catching them for over an hour, hehehe."
Mai Hangyu exclaimed, "I feel like my back is about to break."
Wu An smiled.
Although it was tiring, it felt great.
Especially when catching fish, you can become completely absorbed in it and forget all your troubles.
He was initially quite tired from scheming against Liang Jun during negotiations with Lao Tan, but after all this work, he felt much better.
He really isn't suited for doing bad things.
The three climbed out of the pit.
"The tide is coming in."
"Let's go up there quickly."
There were four buckets in total, all filled with seafood and seawater. The three of them carried the buckets upstairs first, and then came back together to carry the burlap sacks.
There were two large snakeskin bags, mainly filled with shrimp, crabs, and other creatures that are less likely to die.
Ah Qing was in a dilemma and shouted, "Brother, the motorcycle can't fit it."
Wu An looked at Mai Hangyu.
Mai Hangyu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I can carry a snakeskin bag."
Wu An said, "I'll wash your car when we get back."
Mai Hangyu gave a wry smile. This Harley hadn't been on the market for very long, and a woman hadn't even ridden in it yet, but it had already loaded a sack full of seafood.
The seafood can't be delayed; it needs to be sent to the market immediately.
Wu An waved to Cao Zhiqiang, signaling that he was leaving. Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's dazed expression, he smiled.
He should be awake by now.
