The next day.

Early in the morning.

Fang Hao and Fang Qiang then hauled all the prepared bottles and jars to the fishing port dock.

To avoid the rope getting tangled!

They were all packed in large baskets.

It took five large baskets to barely hold over a thousand bottles and jars.

This grand spectacle naturally attracted the attention and interest of many people at the fishing port.

"Ah-Ba!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Exactly!"

"What are you two planning to do with all these bottles and jars? They don't even look like buoys—they'll sink if you fill them with water—"

In a short time.

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.

It was clear that everyone was curious and puzzled about what Fang Hao and his companion were doing with all those large baskets of bottles and jars.

After all, they had spent half their lives at sea and had never actually seen this thing before, so many people didn't really see its purpose and even thought it looked a bit like a buoy on the sea surface.

"Uh—it's used for fishing!"

Fang Hao responded with a few words of helplessness.

There's nothing to hide about this.

If people see him catching octopuses with these bottles and jars, I'm sure many will follow suit, since no one would turn down a profit.

Speaking of which...

Buy so many aluminum cans to catch octopuses.

He really was just one of the few in the village!

"Fishing?"

"Is this thing even capable of catching fish?"

"Hahaha~"

"Hey, are you planning to use this to catch octopuses???"

"An octopus? Oh my! How come I never thought of that? These things love to squeeze into narrow caves and spaces. Maybe putting them in the ocean would actually be useful—"

"Ahem~ That's hard to say—no one has tried this before, and whether you can catch an octopus remains to be seen."

"I think it's a bit risky! It's just playing around. If octopuses were that easy to catch, everyone would be rich by now—"

When Fang Hao said it was for fishing.

Some people still didn't realize it.

They even burst out laughing.

However, some people have a keen eye.

I immediately guessed the purpose of these jars; they're perfect for catching octopuses in the sea.

After all, many fishermen have used traditional fishing methods and are quite familiar with the habits of octopuses, so it is still possible to catch them with these bottles and jars.

But...

Some people have reservations.

No one in the village had ever bought soda cans on such a large scale to catch octopuses before, so there was some skepticism.

That's actually how it is in the countryside.

They are skeptical of many new things.

Anything that no one has done before is likely to cause controversy or suspicion.

Fang Hao wants to be the first to try something new, so he has to face the doubts of others. Only by succeeding can he shut them up.

Many people don't have a high opinion of him.

He used to be a good-for-nothing who just lazed around doing nothing, but in the blink of an eye he became diligent and sensible, and even came up with new fishing methods.

Anyone would have doubts!

"Yankees!"

"Let's get going!"

Regarding the reactions of the crowd.

Fang Hao didn't really care.

They didn't even bother to pay much attention to it.

"Alright!"

Fang Qiang immediately nodded.

Then quickly start the ship and set off.

Today we have to put all these octopus-catching jars into the sea, then collect the traps we set earlier, and also put in all the new traps and crab nets we bought yesterday.

In short, the workload has doubled!

These days, if you want to make money, you have to work incredibly hard.

You should know that Fang Hao spent a lot of money to upgrade his fishing equipment, including fishing nets, crab nets, fish traps, bottles and jars, etc.

We must recoup our investment first.

Then.

The fishing boats are sailing fast at sea.

Occasionally, we encountered a few fishing boats heading out to sea.

These days, not many families own fishing boats. It will be quite a sight when hundreds of fishing boats set sail together in twenty or thirty years after the fishing ban is lifted.

"Yankees!"

"Let's put the bottles and jars here!"

"We collected a lot of octopuses here with fish traps the day before yesterday; there might still be some in this area."

Fang Hao spoke up directly.

The fishing boat is currently located at the same spot where they collected the fish traps the day before yesterday. They figured there were a lot of octopuses here, and they should be able to catch quite a few by placing the traps here.

That's actually the reason.

He then made a special trip to town to buy bottles and jars.

All for the sake of catching some octopuses.

"Okay!"

Fang Qiang nodded and had no objection.

Then, controlling the speed of the boat, he coordinated with Fang Hao to drop the cans.

Same old rules!

Using the ship's inertia, a series of cans were thrown directly into the sea from the ship.

Then make sure to label it properly!

We can just send a boat to collect it when the time comes.

Small fishing boats don't employ many fancy maneuvers when fishing at sea; it's simply a continuous repetition of casting the net, waiting, hauling in the net, untying the net, and casting it again.

As for whether we can catch any seafood!

That depends on luck!

"Brother Hao!"

"I wonder how many octopuses these bottles and jars can catch."

Fang Qiang said with some anticipation.

Whether this is reliable or not is still unknown!

No one in the village had ever thrown out such a large number of aluminum cans before, so the final outcome remains to be seen.

But...

He still hopes to succeed.

After all, so much effort and money have been spent on this project, and if it doesn't work, it would be a huge loss.

"Hahaha~"

"That's hard to say."

"We just need to release it, and leave the rest to fate."

'

Fang Hao smiled and said.

No one can guarantee success when fishing at sea.

Ultimately, it all depends on luck and fate.

If you're lucky, you can make a fortune.

If you're unlucky, the boat might capsize and you'll die.

Although Fang Hao was very confident in these bottles and jars for catching octopuses, what he would ultimately catch was another matter.

In the blink of an eye.

Ten minutes passed in no time.

"Done!"

"All the bottles and jars have been placed."

"Next, lower the crab net and fishing net, then go and collect the fish traps. After collecting the fish traps, you can come back and collect the nets."

Fang Hao clapped his hands and said.

Every task is tightly scheduled to maximize efficiency.

"Um!"

"Hopefully, today's traps will be a good catch, considering they've been set up for two days now —"

Fang Qiang nodded as well.

Yesterday, the wind picked up and the waves were high.

They didn't come out to collect the traps.

"GOGOGO~"

"Hurry up, let's log off first—"

Fang Hao continued to wave.

There are still several fishing nets and crab nets to be cast on the boat.

We also need to install new fish traps!

After we finish all that.

Then take back the fish traps that were set out a couple of days ago.

Those fish traps were just a short distance away.

I put it away before and then put it back. It seems that the seafood resources in this area are quite good.

In fact, the situation is different in every sea area.

Some places have a lot of things.

Some places have limited supplies.

Some veteran fishermen set their nets and traps based on past experience.

Fishing is a technical skill.

But you also need a bit of luck.

Some people are lucky and make a fortune, even buying luxury cars and mansions.

Some people lost everything.
