actually.
The simplest way to verify this is to look at the rest.
It's normal for one or two fish traps to not yield a large catch, but if most of them don't catch much, then that's definitely not normal.
He's got the luck stat maxed out, so it's impossible for his harvest to be dismal.
There were very few mantis shrimp left in the third row of traps, but there were several small green lobsters, two of which were eating mantis shrimp, which made Ah Qing very angry.
There weren't many mantis shrimp to begin with, and the baby lobsters ate quite a few of them.
"You came in here to eat at the buffet, didn't you?"
"I'll let you eat."
Aqing tied him up while cursing him.
The fourth row of fish traps was almost empty of mantis shrimp, but there were no empty traps either. There were quite a few small green lobsters inside, still fighting each other.
Several of the small blue dragon pincers broke off.
That's how it is; if they don't tie them up, they won't even spare their "fellow inmates."
"This cage has more than thirty small green lobsters, which is the most we've caught since we started using the traps." Wu An was very happy. It seemed that the small green lobsters were attracted by the mantis shrimp, but when the small green lobsters arrived, the mantis shrimps promptly ran away.
As a result, the little green dragon ended up in the cage.
I don't know if it's due to luck or what, but the baby green dragons in the cage are all quite big, with the smallest weighing over a pound.
The larger ones weigh three or four pounds, and their menacing appearance is quite intimidating.
The small green dragon is not very dangerous, unlike the Australian dragon which has pincers.
The fifth and sixth rows of fish traps yielded a good harvest, including not only small green lobsters but also a considerable number of whelks and conch shells, even among the whelks.
Seeing such a good harvest, Old Fu was overjoyed and put aside his suspicions about the Fan family father and son.
Why?
If the Fan family father and son had secretly salvaged the fish, would they have stopped after seeing such a good catch?
That's impossible.
Once a person's greed is unleashed, it is very difficult to control.
There aren't many mantis shrimp, and the same goes for small lobsters. As long as the harvest is good, we're happy no matter what.
Rows of fish traps came up.
There were even more small green lobsters in the fish traps behind, but no matter how many fish he caught, Ah Qing could manage on his own. He tied them up very quickly, his hands moving so fast they left afterimages.
Seeing this, Wu An didn't hold back his praise: "Ah Qing, you're amazing! You're fast and steady."
Ah Qing chuckled foolishly.
He was even happier to receive Wu An's verbal performance than to actually receive the money.
"Splash!"
"Bang bang bang".
Wu An struggled to untie the fish trap and emptied the catch inside. The little lobster was dazed and confused from falling on the deck, and the sea snails alone piled up into a small mountain.
"Wow, this basket is amazing!"
Even Ah Qing couldn't help but exclaim when she saw it, which shows how much she had gained from this basket. Wu An couldn't help but grin and say, "We've struck it rich!"
After saying that.
My stomach started growling.
Ah Qing asked, "Brother, why don't we rest for a bit and then eat first?"
Wu An thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Never mind."
"I'll go see what I can eat right away, just to have a couple of bites to tide me over."
"There are only a few fish traps left, let's retrieve them quickly."
It's better to finish homework early so we can go home earlier.
If we stop to cook, it will take at least half an hour.
If we go back and forth like this, and something else happens, we'll probably have to go back in the dark again.
Aqing nodded.
Wu An went back and got some biscuits and bread, which he shared with A Qing and Lao Futou. They ate and drank with water to temporarily satisfy their hunger, and then the three of them returned to the salvage operation.
That's how it is on a ship.
Old Fu was used to it; it was normal for him to be so busy that he couldn't eat.
It's good to be busy.
You can only make money if you're busy.
They were all so busy that none of them had time to speak.
"There's only one cage left." Wu An tied the cage's rope to the winch and reminded them with a smile. A Qing and Old Fu both felt a heavy burden.
We're finally almost done with our work.
Wu An glanced at the time; it was already 3 p.m., and said, "Old Fu, go and set sail."
"Let's go collect a batch of gillnets, and then we'll head back."
"We'll definitely get to the dock before dark today."
Ah Qing happily exclaimed "Yay!" He was busy every day, but he also wanted to be able to have dinner with his mother at home. Going home earlier would allow him to have dinner earlier as well.
Old Fu nodded and strode over to start the boat.
When leaving.
Just then, they saw the Fan family father and son still working on the salvage operation. Aqing curled her lips and said, "They're still busy. It looks like they've set quite a few fish traps."
Wu An nodded. They were "newcomers" to the field, and all their equipment was prepared on the spot. Even so, they still had to face various unexpected events and losses.
The equipment on the ship was becoming less and less useful.
But they're professionals; father and son work together, so they naturally have all the necessary equipment.
Ah Qing looked through the binoculars and said, "Brother, I see those three men are grinning from ear to ear. They must have reaped a lot, maybe even more than we did."
Wu An didn't say anything; he wasn't envious.
We arrived at Twin Islands.
When retrieving the buoy, I discovered that the luck points I had accumulated had been depleted, which gave me peace of mind. The net harvesting should still be successful. As the winch was in operation, the net was brought out of the water, trembling violently.
"Brother, it's an eel."
"Wow, this eel is huge, it's as thick as my arm."
"If I call you King of the Eels, will you dare to answer?"
Wu An warned A Qing to be careful. He didn't know if the sea eel would agree, but he was certain it would bite.
The net continuously discharges water.
Most of the fish hanging on the net were moray eels. These moray eels were very active and were still struggling. The more they struggled, the more they became entangled, and the net was twisted into a pretzel shape.
Old Fu looked at it and felt a chill run down his spine: "These sticky nets are all ruined."
Wu An didn't care.
Since his luck was already gone, he didn't plan to put the net back into the sea this time.
Ah Qing, wearing gloves, hesitated to start: "Brother, this is difficult."
Wu An said, "Then let's not do it."
"Just leave it there and go back."
"Go back and find someone to help you solve it."
Aqing looked at Old Fu, who nodded: "That works too."
He hurried off to set sail.
Add oil.
Turn the rudder.
Head straight to the dock.
On the other side.
The Fan family father and son were all grinning from ear to ear, they were so happy they were practically going crazy.
Before Wu An and his group arrived, they had been working nearby besides guarding the traps, but their harvest was quite meager.
Under these circumstances, they didn't have much hope for a good catch from the fish traps.
With only a last-ditch effort, he opened the cage.
result!
It gave them a big surprise.
Mantis shrimp!
Conch shell!
Little Green Dragon!!!
Each row of traps yields a lot of valuable catches!
"Thank God, thank Mazu."
"It's been many years since the three of us have had such a good harvest. Goodness, look how big this little green dragon is!"
Old Man Fan shouted excitedly.
Fan Dali was also very happy and said with a smile, "We should thank him, but the person we should thank the most is Wu An."
Fan Xiaozhu nodded: "Brother, you're right."
