Wu An disagreed.
Even with trawlers, there's no guarantee of a catch.
Why?
Because I don't know how to use it.
Moreover, under the circumstances at the time, trawls might not have been effective.
Old Xie asked, "Besides manta rays, what other good stuff do you have? Stop hiding it, show it to us."
We went out to sea.
Everyone is like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.
Because of the different fishing methods used by the fishing boats, everyone's catch was different. Some people caught a lot of mantis shrimp and made a fortune, while others caught pomfret, causing a small-scale sensation.
Old Xie knew that Wu An had prepared fish traps and longline fishing, which is why he said that.
Wu An shrugged: "That's all."
That's all.
"We can't collect the rest today, so we'll go out to sea to collect them first thing tomorrow morning."
Old Xie suddenly realized.
He called to his helpers, "Unload the goods."
Be careful.
"The stingrays in the live fish tank haven't had their tails removed yet."
The two helpers walked over.
"Don't worry, Boss Xie."
"It's not like we're new to this job."
"Don't worry, as long as you pay the medical expenses, I won't cause you any trouble if you get stabbed."
"Hahaha."
Everyone chatted and laughed as they got to work.
After disembarking.
Some vendors were also buying up their goods. When they saw Wu An, they knew the young man was lucky and asked curiously, "It's the opening of the fishing season today, a very auspicious day. What good stuff did you get?"
Old Xie shook his head.
The vendor scoffed, "Look how scared you are, still trying to keep it a secret."
"We're already overwhelmed with receiving goods; we wouldn't be so blinded by greed as to rob someone."
Old Xie ignored their words.
When they really come across a good deal, these people can be shameless.
The vendor called out to Wu An, "Hey handsome, what good stuff have you gotten your hands on?"
Wu An shrugged: "Just some stingrays."
"Devil ray?"
How big is it?
"You managed to catch a manta ray with that little boat?"
The vendors were filled with doubt and surprise.
By this time, the helpers had already caught the manta rays, put them in boxes, and carried them out of the boat. Ah Qing and Mai Hangyu were also helping.
Only when they saw the manta ray inside the box did everyone believe it.
"It's not very big."
"These stingrays aren't worth much."
"Hey kid, this kind of fishing trip is no good. How come you only brought back so little cargo?"
Everyone chattered amongst themselves, then dispersed to attend to their own tasks, no longer paying attention to him.
Wu An smiled but didn't say anything.
He thought it was great.
Old Xie didn't say anything more; he couldn't be happier.
Back at the dockside store.
Overweight.
Calculate the money.
These stingrays weighed a total of 610 jin (approximately 300 catties). Wu An was quite satisfied with the weight, feeling that his efforts to catch them with the net until his hands cramped were worthwhile.
I finally received 9150 yuan.
The income from the first day at sea was not high, but Wu An was quite satisfied. He was still looking forward to the catch from fishing with fish traps and longlines.
After all, I used up most of my 166 luck points today on those two things.
The money from selling the manta ray was a windfall, so what more can be said?
After receiving the money, Wu An said, "Old Xie, please save some bait for me."
Old Xie nodded: "No problem."
"I'm always in the store, you can come anytime."
"Knock on the door if it's locked."
Wu An nodded, went back to the boat and looked around. Mai Hangyu and A Qing had already tidied up the fishing boat. He paid Mai Hangyu his wages. It was settled daily, and with just the two of them, settling accounts was not troublesome. After receiving the money, Mai Hangyu drove back to town.
Originally, Wu An wanted Mai Hangyu to stay and go home with him.
Mai Hangyu was unwilling.
Since Wu An insisted on going back, he didn't insist anymore.
After splitting the profits with Aqing, he hurried home.
On the way, he chatted with Gu Anran and told her about the interesting thing about encountering the orca pod. Gu Anran was very interested. She was also quite busy. Today was the opening of the fishing season, and she bought a lot of cheap seafood.
With the opening of the fishing season, street vendors can continue their businesses for a long time.
It's hard work, but it's also quite lucrative.
In recent years, she has been the sole breadwinner for the family. Not to mention the daily expenses and the old lady's medical bills, her scoundrel uncle also comes to freeload from time to time.
Although the family had no debts, they didn't have much money left either. Otherwise, with her diligence, the family would have been living a very comfortable life.
During the meal, Wu An recounted the day's sea voyage.
Even without using Ah Qing's exaggerated words, the three people at the table were so captivated that they forgot to eat for a moment, and Mei Yueqin even murmured, "May Mazu bless us."
Wu An smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can cook the stingray I brought home for us to eat tomorrow. It's full of collagen and very nutritious."
Mei Yueqin laughed as she heard this: "Why should I bother with supplements? I'm already like this, your brother wouldn't dare to look down on me."
"But it's you."
"They work from dawn till dusk every day, fishing at sea day and night, and they are so tired that they need to replenish their energy."
"I'll go to the Chinese medicine shop tomorrow and buy some nourishing herbs to make soup for you."
Wu An glared at her: "Sister-in-law, I really don't need it."
This day is like a pillar supporting the sky.
I dare not make up for it.
With nowhere to use his skills... he also had to fight with both hands simultaneously, which was already exhausting enough.
We've eaten.
Wu An walked towards the old house.
It's already past 8 p.m., and I have to get up early tomorrow morning. I won't get more than a few hours of sleep, so I have to make the most of every minute.
When we arrived at the old house, we saw a figure squatting by the door.
Upon closer inspection, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Mao Wang," he called out.
Mao Wang looked up and saw it was him. He stood up abruptly: "Wu An, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
"Come with me to town quickly."
Wu An looked annoyed; this was never going to end.
He took a step back, dodging Mao Wang's hand that was grabbing him, and said, "I have to go out to sea early tomorrow morning, I don't have time to mess around with you."
Mao Wang was almost in tears: "This isn't nonsense, something really serious has happened."
Wu An opened the door and walked into the house. Mao Wang wanted to follow him in, saying as they walked, "That guy Chen Long is going to harm Shen Fang. He... he's going to bully Shen Fang."
Wu An reached out and pushed Mao Wang out of the house, saying calmly, "Shen Fang isn't stupid. If Chen Long's dog really fights, who knows who will suffer the loss."
Mao Wang choked for a moment.
That might be the case.
But... the problem now is that Shen Fang doesn't intend to resist; she wants to submit, and even deliberately let Chen Long bully her. Of course, she can't really let Chen Long bully her, which is why he came here to guard Wu An and, at the crucial moment, send Wu An to rescue Shen Fang.
He has to do it!
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain to Shen Fang, and I'm even more worried that Shen Fang will be bullied by Chen Long!
Wu An yawned: "I can't go."
"If you're really worried, go by yourself."
"But I advise you... not to get involved."
After saying that.
Close the door.
Mao Wang called out twice at the door, only to see that Wu An had turned off all the lights. Helpless, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran away.
Wu An sat on the edge of the bed. Although it was dark around him, his eyes were very bright.
Through the moonlight, you can see the figure of Mao Wang running.
Um.
Set aside your desire to help others and respect their fate.
He should wash up and go to bed.
