After returning home.
Chen Fenglan happened to be there as well.
"Hiro!"
"You mean you caught nearly a hundred pounds of octopuses in those bottles and jars yesterday? And you sold them for a little over six hundred yuan today?"
Chen Fenglan still found it hard to believe.
He asked again to confirm.
My son's random tinkering with those gadgets actually caught a hundred-pound octopus?!
This isn't a joke, is it?
Do you know what a 100-plus kilogram octopus means? At current market prices, that's no small fortune.
"Um.
"I was lucky."
Fang Hao nodded in reply.
He knew before that these jars could catch octopuses, but he never expected that they could catch so many.
He summarized the reasons.
That means there were probably quite a lot of octopuses back then, unlike in later years when they were so rare and scarce in the near seas that they were almost completely depleted.
In short.
This time, the effort was worthwhile.
Moreover, those bottles and jars can be collected continuously; whether you catch a lot or a little, it's still a gain, at least you can earn more money.
"The money is with me."
Song Yaxin immediately cooperated and took out the money.
She experienced this firsthand; when collecting bottles and jars at sea, she pried all the octopuses out herself.
I can bear witness!
"My goodness!"
"I never expected this thing to be so powerful."
"The money you earned in one day is equivalent to more than half a year's income for your father—"
Chen Fenglan could barely keep her smile going.
I never expected that the thing my son made would actually be useful.
Previously, she and her husband Fang Dajun thought this was just a frivolous project, a pointless exercise for fun.
Now they've been proven wrong!
They made several hundred yuan from one trip out to sea.
Even if you told people, not many would believe you.
You know, most fishermen go out to sea to earn a meager living, and if they're lucky, they might make some extra money.
As it stands!
Her son seemed perfectly suited for a career at sea, as he consistently had excellent hauls from his beachcombing trips.
In superstitious terms...
Those are the people blessed by the old woman.
Shipping is booming!
"Mom!"
"There's nothing strange about that."
"People have been using similar methods to catch octopuses for a long time. I just modified it slightly, using more aluminum cans and tin cans —"
Fang Hao shook his head and said.
The person who first discovered the habits of octopuses and figured out how to use them was truly remarkable; he had only learned from experience.
but.
We were able to catch so many octopuses this time.
The main reason is the large number of bottles and jars used.
"That's because my son is amazing!"
"We can use these bottles and jars to catch octopuses later. Tell your dad to come back and help soon, because he's always so worried about this and that—"
Chen Fenglan was both happy and proud.
Fang Hao has been performing exceptionally well lately!
It made her feel like it wasn't quite real.
I'm afraid it's all just a dream?
After all, Fang Hao was known for his character before.
They, as parents, knew it perfectly well.
Such a sudden and drastic change is really hard to get used to.
"Fenglan?"
"Are you at home?"
Just at this time.
A sound came from outside the courtyard.
Then a middle-aged woman came in.
"Ah Ping?"
Chen Fenglan was also somewhat surprised.
The person who came to her door was a woman from the village with whom she had a fairly good relationship.
For a moment, I was a little surprised that the other party had suddenly come to my door. What could it be that they wanted?
"Ouch!"
"I heard that your Ah Ba caught a lot of octopuses today, using those tin bottles and cans—"
Wei Ping immediately began to praise and compliment him.
The meaning is already quite obvious.
It seems they heard the news from the dock and then thought of going there to find out what was going on.
In the countryside.
This kind of thing is very common.
The slightest rumor can spread like wildfire, and anyone interested in any potential benefits will immediately become eager to spread it.
Humans are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm!
Now that they see Fang Hao catching so many octopuses, they'll definitely want to follow suit and try their luck.
Who would turn down money?
In addition, Wei Ping had a decent relationship with Chen Fenglan, which is why she dared to approach her immediately.
Most people wouldn't dare to mess with Fang Hao, as he's not someone to be trifled with.
"Ah Ping!"
"Your information network is pretty accurate, isn't it?"
"I just talked to Hao about this—I originally thought all those things he tinkered with were just for fun (playing house)."
As Wei Ping began to recount Fang Hao's "achievements,"
Chen Fenglan immediately felt a sense of honor.
He immediately launched into a boastful and proud mode, wanting to praise his son to the skies.
Happiness comes so suddenly!
My son was such a scoundrel and didn't know any better before.
Now it's suddenly become powerful!
'
'
Fang Hao, standing to the side, couldn't help but feel helpless.
This kind of commercial flattery is a bit embarrassing to hear.
He had just sold octopuses at the dock when the other party came knocking on his door.
They seem to be here to gather information.
After all, Wei Ping's husband makes a living by catching octopuses.
"You really can catch them with those bottles and jars? Ah-Ba, where did you buy those bottles and jars?"
Wei Ping continued to inquire.
They obviously want to understand it clearly.
Then she would go back and have her husband do it.
This is quite a temptation!
"Auntie!"
"I bought this from the town's junkyard."
Fang Hao shook his head and said.
There was nothing they were hiding from the other party.
After all, the other party had a decent relationship with my mother. She was somewhat shrewd, but she would occasionally give my family some things.
That's how it is in the village; whether it's a man or a woman, they all have their own little cliques.
Even if it comes from somewhere, the relationship might not be good.
Currently, there is no one in the village who openly and blatantly has a conflict with Chen Fenglan.
It happened once before.
Fang Hao led his men to block the other party's house.
"A junkyard?"
"Ah Ba, would you mind if we put one of these in our house too? Don't worry! Wherever you put it, we definitely won't be able to find out anything useful."
Wei Ping immediately asked tentatively.
My family wants to follow the trend and make this.
We definitely need to ask Fang Hao's opinion!
Don't provoke him and then just take some people and sweep everything up. After all, a scoundrel like him is not someone to be trifled with.
He has a good relationship with his mother.
That doesn't mean you can compete with him for the job.
Blocking someone's path to wealth is no small matter!
"casual."
Fang Hao said casually.
This thing doesn't require much technical skill.
If I can catch a lot of octopuses, I'm sure some people in the village will follow suit.
This is just human nature!
People will fight tooth and nail for anything that brings benefits and profit.
"Okay!"
"Thank you so much!"
A smile immediately appeared on Wei Ping's face.
After receiving Fang Hao's promise, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If Fang Hao is unhappy.
I really wouldn't dare to risk offending them.
