Reborn in 1990, a life of fishing and gathering seafood.

Chapter 043: Closing the Cage, A Good Start

the next day.

It was a long time ago.

Fang Hao was woken up by Song Yaxin.

Judging from the other person's expression, they were clearly overly expectant and excited, and couldn't wait to collect the trap.

……

"You didn't sleep at all last night, did you?"

Fang Hao looked at Song Yaxin's faint dark circles, which made her look like she hadn't had enough rest.

That's why I couldn't help but have some doubts.

I remember when he was a child, the first time he put a fish trap in a net, he couldn't sleep all night. He even went to the beach in the middle of the night to see if the tide had gone out.

I woke up very early.

Song Yaxin shook her head.

Perhaps it was because I was too expectant.

I woke up before the roosters crowed in the early morning.

It was mainly the huge profits from beachcombing that fueled her enthusiasm and anticipation.

The first time I went beachcombing, I caught blue crabs and sold them for several tens of yuan; the second time I went beachcombing, I caught grouper and sold them for three hundred yuan.

This is the third time I've used fish traps for beachcombing, and it's even more anticipated than the previous two times.

"oh oh."

"Let's wait for the Yankees to arrive first."

Fang Hao nodded.

We had already arranged to meet at home this morning, and then go directly to the sea to collect the fish traps.

"Brother Hao!"

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Just then, Fang Qiang's voice came from outside the door.

"Yankees!"

"I've been waiting for you."

"Hurry up and get on the cart, let's go!"

Fang Hao said to Fang Qiang.

We need to hurry and collect the traps.

Then.

The three of them pulled the cart and headed to the seaside.

There were also several buckets and winnowing baskets on the vehicle.

……

At the sea gate.

People came early to collect sand worms from the beach.

After all, this is a good season for beachcombing, and many people go to the sea to dig for sandworms.

"Yankees!"

"Let's pull this cage up and take a look first."

Fang Hao said to Fang Qiang.

Let's get ready to bring up the first fish trap.

It should be noted that even at low tide, there is still seawater at the sluice gate; this area is more like a pool, with the fish trap still submerged in the water.

I'm actually quite looking forward to it!

After all, whether we can get off to a good start depends on it.

Song Yaxin, who was standing next to her, had already been staring intently at the fish trap inside the sluice gate.

"good!"

Fang Qiang didn't waste any words.

Then they immediately started working;

Actually, setting up a fish trap is simpler than setting it up.

Grab one end of the fish trap and pull it up continuously. Each section of the fish trap can be folded and retracted, and then the seafood inside is gathered towards the tail.

Each section of the trap has the potential to yield a harvest.

"Splash!"

The sound of splashing water immediately rang out.

As soon as I picked it up, I saw something inside.

You can see plenty of fish and crabs at a glance!

Wow!

There's something there!

Song Yaxin immediately exclaimed in surprise.

His tone was filled with excitement and enthusiasm.

Only those who set the traps truly understand the value of the moment they retrieve them; the joy in their hearts is almost overflowing.

The fish traps have caught some seafood!

"good!"

"Several crabs~"

"And mudskippers! Dogfish!"

As the trap was pulled up.

Fang Hao finally smiled.

Unexpectedly, the first trap yielded a pretty good harvest, with a good amount of seafood, mostly fish, and several crabs.

There were three blue crabs among them!

They vary in size.

In addition, there are several stone crabs that are worthless.

As for miscellaneous fish, there are even more.

"I'll pour it into the bucket first."

Fang Qiang picked up the entire fish trap and shook it vigorously, then untied the tail and released the seafood inside.

Boom!dong dong!

The sound of impacts continued to ring out.

The seafood was all poured into the bucket.

I estimate that all of it weighs over ten kilograms, some good and some bad, a whole bunch of different kinds of seafood.

"A great start!"

Fang Hao was in a good mood.

So much was harvested from just one fish trap.

The next forty fish traps will surely yield a huge harvest; indeed, the seafood resources of this era are quite different from those of later generations.

The strategy of winning by sheer numbers can also work.

Even if the seafood caught in fish traps isn't very valuable, you can still make some money if you have a large quantity.

"Hey Northwesterner, let's split up and collect them! Let's get them up quickly, or they'll all die and become worthless..."

Fang Hao said to Fang Qiang.

At this rate, wouldn't it take a very long time to make forty fish traps?

"OK!"

"Then I'll go collect the sluice gate."

Fang Qiang nodded as well.

He was the one who set up the fish traps at the sluice gate yesterday.

Now that he's handling the collection, he's more familiar with it.

Division of labor and cooperation!

"Wife!"

"Let's go, let's go to the trench."

Fang Hao said to Song Yaxin.

The joy of the harvest filled my heart.

For a moment, I was also looking forward to the harvest of other traps.

"Uh-huh."

Song Yaxin nodded.

Collecting fish traps is more fun than digging for sand worms.

The two then carried their buckets and quickly walked towards the trench, with each trap placed at a distance.

They need to be put away one by one now.

Then take the seafood out of it.

……

At the trench.

"Wife!"

"Quick, bring the bucket over!"

Fang Hao held one end of the cage.

Then they started recycling.

Haha~

"Looks like we're in luck; there's quite a lot in this cage..."

Fang Hao felt that his hands were a little heavy.

Then, when the fish trap is pulled out of the water, the harvest can be clearly seen, and there are quite a few scattered pieces!

There were mostly small, miscellaneous fish among them!

Shrimp and crab are also available.

And shellfish and the like.

After all, there are all sorts of things in the sea.

Setting up sea cages can potentially catch many strange and unusual things.

"This cage has a lot too."

Song Yaxin was somewhat excited.

I didn't expect this basket to have so many more than the previous one.

For a moment, I was a little dazzled.

Many of the creatures in the fish trap are alive.

After all, there is water in the sluice gate and the trench, and the seafood inside is not so easy to die.

"Hahaha~"

"Looks like you really are my lucky charm, honey, I've reaped so much good fortune..."

Fang Hao said with a smile.

We've already caught quite a few fish traps that we put away; with forty fish traps, we could practically take off!

In fact, many people usually set up a few fish traps to catch a few kilograms of seafood.

Fang Hao set up dozens of fish traps.

That's really a bit of an exaggeration!

"GOGO!"

"Let's move on to the next one..."

Fang Hao finished quickly and efficiently.

Then I couldn't wait for the next one.

There might be a pleasant surprise waiting for you.

Collecting fish traps is like opening a blind box!

It fills people with anticipation and surprises.

No one can guarantee what good stuff will be next; it's like opening a blind box.

Each one is full of surprises.

Nobody knows what will happen next.

The anticipation process is often more enjoyable.

"Uh-huh."

Song Yaxin nodded as well.

The joy of the harvest lingered in my heart.

I never expected collecting fish traps could be so enjoyable.

This is much better than digging for sandworms!

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel excited.

If each trap can catch so many things, wouldn't it be able to sell for a lot of money?

Will life be prosperous from now on? At least the wish to have enough to eat and wear can be fulfilled.

These days.

Marry a man, and you'll have food and clothing!

Who wouldn't want to marry a man with a promising future?
