After the water was almost pumped out, Wu An moved the pump to the fourth water pit. Less than a minute after it was placed in the pit, his luck value dropped a little.
There's hope.
Wu An gave a silent thumbs-up, then started the water pump. He put on his onesie and followed him into the third puddle.
As soon as I got down, I felt something under my feet and I was still struggling.
I bent down and grabbed it, and upon closer inspection, I found that I had actually grabbed a shoe sole. It was actually a fish, which they call a shoe sole fish.
It is a type of flatfish, scientifically known as Sole.
The price is also good, it should sell for around 50 yuan per catty. It is worth mentioning that some unscrupulous vendors in the market will use basa fish to impersonate sole fish.
He had been fooled before.
"Brother, there are so many fish."
"Luckily you didn't listen to me, otherwise we would have lost a lot of money."
"Look, what a huge flower crab!"
“My lobster isn’t small either, it must weigh about a pound.”
Aqing and Mai Hangyu showed off the seafood in their hands.
Wu An smiled and nodded, glancing at the buckets next to them. They had only come down a little earlier than him and had already filled a small half-bucket.
There is indeed a lot of seafood in this pit.
Although they were all fairly common seafood, the sheer quantity was overwhelming. In no time, Wu An had filled a bucket with fish, shrimp, crabs, octopuses, and two squid. He even accidentally got sprayed with ink, but luckily he was wearing a fishsuit and escaped unscathed.
The main food is fish.
Black sea bream and yellow sea bream are the most common. Yellow sea bream, also known as yellow-legged sea bream, is one of Wu An's favorite foods. Whether steamed or pan-fried, it suits his taste very well.
There are plenty of sea bass here; they're everywhere.
After working for more than half an hour, the three of them explored the entire edge of the puddle, turning over all the stones, big and small. When they came out of the puddle, they quickly sorted the fish, shrimp, and crabs, put them into several snakeskin bags, and then threw them into the water to soak.
Aqing quickly took out a cigarette, lit one, and gave one to Mai Hangyu as well.
Mai Hangyu, puffing on his cigarette, said with a satisfied smile, "That felt so good."
After saying that, he glanced sideways at the few people who were making sarcastic remarks.
"You guys are in luck!"
"Now I can make a small profit."
"What incredible luck!"
These people stopped making sarcastic remarks and started being sarcastic and mocking.
That's normal.
These people, who are not related to them, are just here for the spectacle. Seeing that they didn't make any money, they naturally want to make fun of them and ridicule them.
Seeing them make money, it's natural to feel envious and jealous; it would be strange if they said anything nice about it.
Wu An ignored him.
He discovered that two-thirds of the water in the fourth puddle had been pumped out, and his luck points had been exhausted, so he quickly added more luck points.
Once the water in the pit had dried up, signs of drawing water were visible all over the bottom of the pit.
Wu An was quite happy.
Good luck.
Aside from the first two puddles being rather unremarkable, the puddles I randomly chose afterward were all quite good.
So far, 20 points of luck have been used up.
There are 15 points left.
There are still about two hours until high tide, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to use up all my luck points.
He estimated that he could earn at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Just as I was getting distracted, I heard Ah Qing call out, "Brother, I'm going downstairs first."
"Hangyu, hurry up."
Mai Hangyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, responded, and followed him down.
Wu An threw the water from the pumping pit into the fifth water pit, not bothering to check the situation, and walked into the fourth water pit with the bucket in his hand.
There was a small puddle in front of her, and the water was a bit murky, so she couldn't see what kind of fish it was, but it looked quite big, so she reached out and grabbed it.
He grabbed it in one go.
Then I picked it up and saw that it was completely red, with some raised bumps on it. It looked ugly, like a big stone statue.
After looking closely, it turned out to be a tigerfish, not Shi Jiugong!
His hand trembled, and he quickly threw the fish into the bucket.
"Damn, that scared me to death!" Wu An exclaimed in lingering fear. He took off his gloves and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing was wrong. "Thank goodness I was wearing gloves."
When Aqing saw that Wu An had thrown a tigerfish, she laughed and said, "Brother, you're really something, catching a tigerfish with your bare hands."
Mai Hangyu caught one, handed it to Aqing, and asked, "Is this a tigerfish?"
"Not Shi Jiugong?"
Startled, Aqing plopped down in the puddle and yelled, "Move it away! You'll get hurt if you get pricked by this thing!"
"You should throw it away too."
Mai Hangyu threw the fish into the bucket.
Wu An asked, "Is your hand alright?"
Mai Hangyu shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't feel anything. If I had been stabbed, it would have hurt like hell."
Wu An took two steps forward, moved a stone aside, and saw two tigerfish below. He said, "These tigerfish are clustered together."
Mai Hangyu also shouted, "Brother, I found a tigerfish too!"
"This is a toxic waste pit."
Aqing said, "I'll go upstairs and get the clips and net."
After saying that, he jumped to the edge of the pit with his hands horizontal and ran towards the motorcycles by the roadside. With the net and traps, Wu An and Mai Hangyu dared to continue catching them.
Besides tigerfish, sea catfish were also found. They look a bit like catfish and are also poisonous. They won't kill you, but they can cause you excruciating pain.
Although poisonous, it is much cheaper than tigerfish.
"Ah Qing, you were right, this is a poison pit. Look what this is!" Wu An shouted, holding up a net. Ah Qing looked closely and exclaimed, "Hua Jingu!"
“I found one too.” Mai Hangyu also picked up an unremarkable-looking fish and said, “It’s a mudskipper, and it’s not small.”
Goodness.
These highly venomous fish, which are among the most dangerous in coastal waters, were actually found in this one puddle.
What's wrong?
What about this battle of wits?
Or do you still want to raise a treacherous spirit?
Thankfully they were prepared today; otherwise, if they had rushed into the puddles like last time, they would all be sitting in the hospital getting IV drips by now.
Several people on the shore sighed.
It's really frustrating and infuriating to watch.
How come these three hotheads are so lucky!
They didn't get infected!
After Wu An and his two companions climbed out of the fourth water pit, the fifth water pit had already been pumped out. Wu An looked at it and saw that his luck value had dropped by 5 points.
There weren't many fish in the puddle, but they were of good quality. I caught several groupers, and the miscellaneous fish, shrimp, and crabs together filled a bucket.
Then they pumped water from three more puddles, with mediocre results, but under the envious and jealous gazes of those idlers, they managed to grab a sack of seafood.
With his luck depleted, Wu An stopped operating the water pump.
Mai Hangyu asked, "Brother, aren't you going to arrest them anymore?"
Wu An nodded: "We won't make any more arrests."
"The tide is coming in."
"Let's hurry up and clean up this puddle."
"I still need to sell fish and wash up later. I don't know what time it will be when I'm done."
Mai Hangyu shouted "Yay!" with joy: "Finally, they're not catching us anymore. If they kept doing that, I'd be exhausted."
Those few bystanders who were watching eagerly began to have their own thoughts.
I'm on my way north.
What kind of talk is that?
If they could make money like that, I'd be willing to work myself to death.
By the time Wu An and the other two finished their work and came upstairs, it was already dark. Looking around, they realized that the few idlers had already left.
Mai Hangyu was still a little disappointed: "Why did they leave without saying goodbye?"
"They're not stupid, they're not going to wait for you to come and attack them head-on."
"Alright."
"Let's hurry up and pack up and leave, while the fish are still alive, so we can get a good price for them."
"Yes, yes, hurry up."
The three of them quickly got to work, but loading the truck still took a little longer.
The motorcycle tricycle is still too small.
Sometimes, having too many fish can be quite a nuisance.
