Wu An took a sand shovel out of the bucket and called out, "Get to work."
Add some points.
Luck value: 48 (28).
Target: Sand shovel (+2)
It's worth mentioning that today's luck score is exceptionally high, reaching a full 32 points.
Whether you're going beachcombing or fishing, you're sure to have a good catch.
There's no need to fight with these people here.
If you make too much money from beachcombing, you'll only attract envy. It's better to go fishing and quietly make your fortune.
He tossed a sand shovel with a bit of sand to Aqing, who stopped complaining and shone his headlamp upwards, quickly finding the hole.
A flurry of digging began.
Someone walked by, saw the two men digging furiously with shovels, and laughed, "What are you two digging for?"
Aqing didn't even look up: "Razor clams."
The man laughed: "You don't dig razor clams like that."
"You have to rub it with salt."
"The razor clams will come out on their own, and you can catch them one by one."
Wu An listened without stopping his work.
He certainly knew this method of digging for razor clams, but using salt spray wasn't a tool, and he couldn't enhance his luck, so it was more reliable to dig with a sand shovel.
At this moment.
Aqing suddenly stopped, rummaged around a couple of times, grabbed a large razor clam, and threw it into the bucket. In Lao Xie's words, this was a king of razor clams.
"Clatter".
Wu An also threw a king razor clam into the bucket.
Not long after.
The two of them dug up razor clams one after another, leaving the other person stunned: "This works too?"
"Damn, you two are incredibly lucky."
At this moment.
Exclamations came from not far away, clearly someone had discovered something good.
Attracted, the man also hurriedly went to the mudflats to collect seafood.
The tide is going out now, and everyone is going downhill. Wu An and A Qing are digging for razor clams up there, and no one is competing with them. When their luck with the sand shovels runs out, the two of them have dug up half a bucket together.
It's more than enough for fishing.
These razor clams cost 20 yuan per jin (500g), and this small half-bucket can easily sell for a hundred or two hundred yuan. And this is just the bait that Wu An prepared for fishing.
While beachcombing only requires time, fishing has a cost.
Just as he was about to leave, he ran into Lin Hu.
Seeing the two men carrying buckets heading east, Lin Hu asked, "The tide hasn't even receded to the bottom yet, why are you leaving already?"
Wu An casually remarked, "There are too many people."
"Are you here to go beachcombing?"
Aqing pouted and said, "You know perfectly well why you asked. My brother and I left because you all came here to go beachcombing."
Lin Hu hid the bucket behind his back and said with an embarrassed smile, "I haven't been fishing very well lately. My family keeps saying that I'm not fishing, but feeding the fish."
"I had no other choice but to try beachcombing."
"If that doesn't work, I'll go fishing."
Wu An nodded and they passed each other.
Lin Hu turned to look at Wu An and A Qing, and muttered to himself, "Isn't this a case of identity swapping?"
"It's good that those two left; maybe we can snag a bargain today."
"We have to grab some good stuff to take home today."
"Otherwise, life at home would be really difficult..."
He muttered to himself as he walked into the mudflats, where he greeted familiar villagers.
"Ah Hu, you fisherman, you've come to the beach too."
"I heard that this mudflat is teeming with blue crabs and tiger crabs. Who wouldn't be envious?"
"Those two lads, A-Dong and A-Qing, didn't come."
"They came, then left; it seems they went fishing at the rocky beach."
"They'd better not come. Those two are too lucky; if they come, they'll definitely steal from us."
"They're going fishing? Even Lin Hu comes to the beach to gather seafood, and these two are going fishing? Have they lost their minds?"
Lin Hu, who was used as a negative example, said somewhat awkwardly, "My fishing luck hasn't been very good lately."
"I know, I know, Lin Bin has been out of the running for several days now."
"Going to the beach is better. It's just a matter of staying up all night. You need bait to catch fish, and you can sell those small fish and shrimp. Even if you don't sell them, you can eat them yourself. Instead, you just end up letting the fish benefit for nothing."
Lin Hu couldn't bear to listen any longer and silently walked away.
Although I felt uncomfortable hearing it, I had to admit that what they said was the truth.
He searched for a while, scooping up a lot of mud, but only managed to find a few clams. Where were the promised blue crabs and tiger crabs? He didn't see a single hair.
...
Wu An and A Qing arrived at the rocky beach. The tide was not strong when it lapped against the rocks; instead, it was gentle and slow. Such a small tide was destined not to leave any seafood on the beach.
Standing on the reef, Aqing could see the mudflats and said, "It must be half the village here, Ganlinmu, you've lit up the sky."
He was still somewhat indignant.
Wu An thought to himself, with so many people trying to make money in the mudflats, it would be impossible unless someone had the same kind of cheat code as him.
Add some points.
Luck value: 48 (18).
Standard sea rod: (+5)
Description: This is an ordinary sea fishing rod. With a bit of luck, you are guaranteed to catch fish weighing less than 20 pounds in areas where fish are plentiful.
The two had fished before, so they quickly prepared their fishing rods, baited them with razor clam meat, and cast them into the sea.
Aqing was a little slower, and after half a minute, she also cast her line.
Pointing the headlamp at the sea surface, the visibility was actually quite poor.
When it comes to night fishing, it mainly depends on your feel for the water.
Wu An had confidence in the system; as long as the fish were caught, he could just pull them out.
The fishing line is taut.
The tip of the rod bends.
We've caught a fish!
See? This is something you can do with just your hands.
Aqing was still waiting when she saw him raise his rod and asked in surprise, "Brother, did you catch a fish?"
Wu An nodded.
Feeling the pull of the fish, I have to say, fishing is much more interesting than beachcombing.
Raise the pole.
Reel in the line.
Raise the rod again.
Then reel in the line.
Soon the fish reached the surface of the sea, splashing around violently and creating a spray of water.
Aqing asked, "Brother, do you need a net?"
Wu An shook his head. The fish wasn't very big. After quickly reeling in the line, he flew the fish directly onto the reef. He went over to take a look and saw that it was a yellowfin tuna.
He picked it up by the eye of the fish; it probably weighed a little over a pound.
This fish is quite common. Wu An used to eat it often. It's delicious whether steamed or pan-fried, and it's also good for making soup.
This one fish is worth at least ten minutes of digging for razor clams.
Ah Qing also caught a fish, and soon pulled it up. It was a sea bass, not very big. Ah Qing was so happy that he forgot about the mudflats.
No matter what kind of fish it is, as long as it can be pulled up, it's definitely more valuable than razor clams.
This is a sure thing, you won't lose money.
Ah Qing's idea was simple: he re-baited the clam meat, cast the line, and soon caught another fish. While reeling in the line, he shouted, "Brother, I caught another fish!"
Wu An smiled and said, "That's good."
He had just pulled up another yellowtail catfish, slightly larger than the first one, and said, "Save your energy, we'll have some fish to catch today."
Aqing shouted, "It's okay, my mom told me to get a lot of eggs and put them in a thermos. We can eat them while we fish when we get hungry."
Wu An nodded.
A child with a mother is like a treasure, a child without a mother is like grass.
Having someone at home is so important.
