One hour later.

The fishing boat successfully reached its destination.

"Yankees!"

"First, set out the fishing nets and crab nets!"

"Then collect the bottles, jars, and baskets—"

Fang Hao spoke directly to Fang Qiang.

Every time they set sail and reach the fishing area, they would first put down the fishing nets before starting anything else.

Fish are most active when the sun is just rising in the morning, so you're more likely to catch more fish when you cast your net.

"Okay!"

Fang Hao responded in response.

Then control the speed of the fishing boat.

Fang Hao began casting the fishing net backwards in the direction the fishing boat was moving, while simultaneously controlling the net to prevent it from being tangled by the boat.

Mix it.

If the net gets tangled or stuck during the netting process, it should be untangled and dealt with immediately.

Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!

At best, the fishing net will be torn; at worst, it will be rendered unusable.

This is why fishing boats need two or three people or more to go out to sea; one person simply can't handle so many things at once.

soon.

The fishing nets and crab nets have all been set.

It won't take much time at all.

"Done!"

"Now we can start collecting the bottles and jars."

Fang Hao prepared for his next task.

Today's tasks are quite heavy.

"Wife!"

"When I bring the bottles up later, could you help me pry the octopus out of them?"

Fang Hao said to Song Yaxin.

We started by assigning her some simple tasks.

After all, it's not difficult to pry an octopus out of the yard.

"OK!"

Song Yaxin nodded.

I'd be happy to help.

"Let's get started!"

"The first jar—! There it is! A huge octopus—!"

"Wow!"

"They really can catch them."

Unexpectedly, the first bottle Fang Hao collected contained an octopus.

It must weigh at least three or four ounces!

"~Again!"

"My darling—"

When he received the fourth bottle and jar, another message came in, and Fang Hao's tone immediately became even happier.

Looks like this effort wasn't in vain.

You can actually catch octopuses.

"Another one!"

"Wife!"

"Catch it quickly—don't let it get away!"

.

"Another one!"

"There's one more!"

Next.

:

That's Fang Hao's performance time.

A whole bunch of bottles and jars were brought in.

There were more octopuses than I had imagined.

Song Yaxin is having a hard time keeping up.

I've never seen this kind of setup before.

A mix of happiness and exhaustion!

"Brother Hao!"

"This thing is amazing!"

"I didn't expect to catch so many octopuses, at least two hundred. This yield rate is terrifying."

Fang Qiang also seemed excited and happy.

I never expected this bottle to actually be useful.

Many of the bottles and jars we collected contained octopuses, ranging in size from about one or two ounces to three or four ounces.

I roughly estimated the number I caught earlier.

You should know that on a good day, you can only catch one or two octopuses with a single trap, and it's considered good if you can catch a few dozen with a hundred traps.

There was never such a terrifying harvest before.

You can catch one with just two or three bottles or jars!

Some bottles and jars were even attached together.

This feeling of reaping so much rewards is just so amazing, it's like I'm on the verge of taking off with excitement.

It's practically a magic tool for catching octopuses.

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

"It's a pity it's not octopus season, otherwise there would probably be even more. But catching this many is good enough; they should be able to sell for a good price."

Fang Hao couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

The method proved effective in practice, and many fishermen in later generations used octopus-shaped jars extensively.

Release thousands or tens of thousands at once.

Now, he considers a thousand bottles and jars to be a small number.

However, the octopus resources in those days were definitely more abundant than in later generations; at least the probability of catching one was quite good.

In short.

This attempt yielded very good results.

These bottles and jars are inexpensive to produce.

Catching an octopus once is enough to recoup your investment.

At this moment.

A faint smile graced Song Yaxin's face.

Today, I went out to sea with a fishing boat and experienced a great harvest. I admire Fang Hao even more now.

In her opinion!

The opponent is really too powerful.

It's amazing how a random bottle or jar could catch so many octopuses.

This is completely different from the rumored image of a good-for-nothing who just loafs around and waits to die. On the contrary, he is quite capable and quick-witted.

Like a treasure trove waiting to be discovered!

It brings surprises and delights to me from time to time.

The things I experienced after marrying into the Fang family were completely different from what I had imagined.

"Hurry up and collect all the bottles and jars!"

"Next, we need to collect the traps—"

Fang Hao continued speaking.

After collecting over a thousand bottles and jars, there are still more than a hundred ground cages waiting for them to collect.

The main event today is using bottles, jars, and fish traps; as for the catch of fishing nets and crab nets, that depends entirely on luck and the weather.

For those who go out to sea to fish.

They definitely want their fishing nets to burst open, their fishing boats to be fully loaded, and to buy their catch and return home.

"Okay~"

Fang Qiang nodded as well.

My heart is full of energy.

The more seafood you catch, the better.

At least the reward from my childhood friend won't be small.

Nobody dislikes something so great!

"Wife!"

"How are you feeling?"

"Was it hard work?"

Fang Hao then spoke to Song Yaxin, who was standing next to him.

He and Fang Qiang were responsible for collecting the bottles and jars, and Fang Qiang was responsible for putting them back down, while Song Yaxin was responsible for getting the octopus out.

This division of labor kept them busy.

He and his childhood friend were both young and strong men who were not afraid of hardship or fatigue.

I'm afraid Song Yaxin won't be able to handle it.

"fine."

Song Yaxin shook her head.

This job is just simple manual work.

All you need to do is use a spatula to get the octopus out of the jar.

I'm still quite happy!

They even felt that a wonderful life was beckoning them.

After all, if you can catch so many octopuses every day, you'll become rich in a month.

It's incredibly efficient at making money!

Others wouldn't have gotten this much.

"Hahaha~"

"That's good! Next, I might need your help sorting the seafood when we collect the fish traps—"

Fang Hao continued with a smile.

One more person will definitely make it one minute faster.

Previously, he and Fang Qiang divided the work.

That's so dry it's practically smoking!

After all, they've invested too much.

Ordinary fishing boats probably don't even have one-fifth the number of fishing nets and traps they have.

Fang Hao was willing to spend money to buy equipment!

"Okay, sure!"

Song Yaxin nodded.

There were no objections.

She is not the kind of person who is spoiled.

Actually, when she was at her parents' home, she was very diligent in helping with chores and housework.

However, after she married into the Fang family...

Chen Fenglan simply didn't let her do farm work.

Normally, I just do housework or laundry at home.

"Oh my god!"

"Just do it!"

Fang Hao clenched his fist and shouted.

Today's harvest should be enough to make a good profit, and I'm still full of energy.

Actually, collecting bottles and jars isn't difficult.

Just pull it up and check if there are any octopuses inside. If there are, pry them open with something. If not, put it back in the water and wait for the next collection.

There's no need to sort the seafood like when using a fish trap, nor is there a need to untangle the net like when using a fishing net.
