At the same time.

A family in the village.

"devil!"

"I heard that Rotten Ba caught a lot of octopuses with some tin cans and made a fortune from it."

A middle-aged woman with a sharp and mean face was speaking to her husband with great envy.

Their tone was filled with jealousy.

It's obvious they've got their eyes on this.

You can catch so many octopuses just by going out to sea. You should know that these things cost two or three yuan per kilogram now, which is considered a relatively expensive seafood.

"Really?"

"Where did you hear that news—?"

Fang Qingming immediately frowned.

There was clearly some doubt and disbelief in my heart.

How could a thug catch so many octopuses?

Even the villagers who specialize in catching octopuses don't have the ability to get that many.

Catching ten or twenty pounds of these animals on a normal day is considered quite impressive. They're not easy to catch, otherwise they wouldn't be more expensive than pork.

You should know that pork only costs two or three yuan per kilogram these days, and an average person's daily income is only enough to buy one or two kilograms of pork.

"Absolutely true!"

"It's already spread throughout the village."

"Could we try catching some bottles and jars too? Even if we can only catch a few dozen pounds a day, we'll be rich—"

Quartz couldn't help but fantasize.

How could this be fake?

No matter how small the noise is in the village, it will reach everyone's ears and spread from one end of the village to the other in no time.

Fang Hao did indeed sell nearly a hundred catties of octopus to Wang Mazi at the dock today.

Now it's being rumored that she weighs over 100 pounds, and it might get even more exaggerated as the rumors spread.

This is how rumors always spread!

"If it's really that powerful, we can give it a try. I just wonder where they got all those bottles and jars—"

Fang Qingming muttered to himself.

A strange glint flashed in his eyes.

Everyone now knows that Fang Hao caught a lot of octopuses using a large batch of tin cans, but it's still unclear where he got them.

"What's so difficult about this?"

"I remember the convenience store sells similar bottles and jars; maybe we can go ask around and see—"

Quartz couldn't help but say.

Jianlibao is sold in the convenience store.

I've seen her a few times before when she went shopping.

So I still remember it a little!

"Um."

"But what if we follow suit and make this? Will we offend Lan Ba? He's no pushover. I heard that Shen Ba from Donghai Village had to pay five hundred yuan to fix one of his fishing nets—"

Fang Qingming couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Getting bottles and jars is relatively easy.

I'm just a little worried that following Fang Hao's lead and doing this bottle and jar thing might offend him.

If it were an ordinary person...

Even if you follow the trend, it's not a big deal.

But Fang Hao is not a normal person at all.

If he feels that his way of making money has been taken over by others, he might do something outrageous in a fit of anger.

He was notorious in the village!

"Are you stupid?!"

"We can do it secretly. Do you think he can keep an eye on the whole village?"

"We'll release a batch into the sea first. As long as we avoid him, he won't be able to figure out how we caught the octopus—"

Quartz couldn't help but snort coldly.

I certainly don't want to miss out on such a great opportunity.

If this thing can really catch that many octopuses, it could sell for a lot of money, considering how little an average family's monthly income is.

Now, faced with this temptation, how could they possibly sit still? They would definitely want to follow the trend and take a bite, and compared to that, the risk is negligible.

"Sigh... better safe than sorry!"

"If we really provoke him, it'll be troublesome; things might get chaotic—"

Fang Qingming was still somewhat worried.

It might be fine if it were someone else.

But what is Fang Hao's reputation in the village?

If we want to follow his lead and catch octopuses now, wouldn't that be like directly challenging the law of nature?

There's a possibility of getting beaten up!

After all, he had just led dozens of men to Donghai Village last night to cause trouble for that tyrant Shen Laoba.

There are precedents for this.

"We just need to be careful and stay hidden."

"Even if you don't dare to do it, there will still be others in the village who will follow suit. I don't believe that Lan Ba ​​is so domineering as to prevent everyone from doing it—"

Quartz immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction.

The timid starve, the bold feast.

She didn't believe Fang Hao could keep an eye on the entire village.

Does that mean that just because Fang Hao was the first to use a bottle to catch an octopus, no one else can use it? Even bandits aren't that domineering and unreasonable.

"That's hard to say."

"Don't you know what kind of person this scoundrel is? Even the village chief gets a headache just looking at him—"

Fang Qingming shook his head directly.

Others may need a reason to cause trouble.

Fang Hao doesn't need a reason to cause you trouble; he might just smash up your house.

Even if you don't provoke him, you'll still get into trouble, let alone if you actively provoke him.

Although many people look down on him behind his back, they are openly very afraid of him.

If you were facing a gang leader who could command dozens of thugs, wouldn't you be scared?

"Alright."

"You're just a coward, always worrying about this and that. Let's do it secretly for now, and we'll talk about it if anything happens—"

Quartz snorted softly.

My mind became more determined.

Who could resist such a tempting offer? If you could really catch dozens of kilograms of octopus in a day, you'd be rich!

Although they were afraid of getting into trouble for following Fang Hao's lead, the huge profits made them restless.

You can catch octopuses with just an aluminum can or a tin can; there's absolutely no technical difficulty involved.

Anyone can follow the trend and imitate it!

In fact, in rural areas, people always follow suit as soon as they see someone succeeding in making money.

This is how shrimp farming was done in my previous life.

After seeing that his cousin Fang Yong made money from raising livestock, almost every household in the village followed suit.

I'm so envious of the money you've made!

"Alright!"

"Anyway, the ocean doesn't belong to him."

Seeing that his wife had spoken up like that...

Fang Qingming finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

The wages of avarice is death.

I've decided to give it a try anyway.

actually!

They only dare to murmur here.

She probably wouldn't dare to say a word in front of Fang Hao, since offending him is no good thing.

Even calling the police was useless.

Chen Gang had cleaned up Fang Hao's messes many times before, basically helping him resolve the aftermath of any trouble he caused.

So over time...

Everyone knows that Fang Hao is not someone to be trifled with; he has some influence in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Even if she looked down on him in her heart.

They dared not offend them on the surface.

Scenes like this.

The same thing is happening in many corners of the village.

The news that Fang Hao had caught a lot of octopuses with a tin can spread like wildfire.

This has already triggered a series of reactions!

These days, as long as you can make money.

Many people will be envious and follow suit.
