"knock off!"

"Let's go home early today—"

After Fang Hao and his companion finished collecting the ground cage.

They put the cage down again.

We're not going to use fishing nets today; the sea is a bit rough, and it's hard to stand steadily on the deck.

Fishing operations at sea!

Safety is the most important thing.

"OK!"

Regarding Fang Hao's arrangements.

Fang Qiang naturally had no objections.

The dozens of fish traps still yielded two to three hundred pounds of seafood, with crabs and octopuses being the most abundant, followed by various miscellaneous fish.

During this time, many unwanted small fish and crabs were thrown back into the sea.

In Fang Hao's words.

That means we'll catch it when it's grown up.

It's important to know that in later generations, the extermination nets were used to completely wipe out coastal resources, almost depleting them.

"Brother Hao!"

"I didn't expect to catch so many octopuses today—they're already out of season, did we stumble upon their lair?!"

Fang Qiang said as he steered the boat.

It's not surprising to catch a lot of blue crabs and swimming crabs, but catching dozens of octopuses is a bit unexpected.

It's important to know that this season isn't the peak season for octopuses.

"Who would understand!"

Fang Hao shook his head and said.

Anything is possible in the ocean.

Even catching a small shark isn't anything to be surprised about.

The dozens of fish traps yielded nearly a hundred octopuses, which was indeed a very good haul.

"Hopefully we can catch just as many tomorrow!"

"Brother Hao, should we buy some more traps? I feel like traps are a good way to catch fish. If we add more, we can catch more. Anyway, traps are quick to set, much more efficient than nets."

Fang Qiang continued.

They've clearly tasted success.

You know, today we collected two or three hundred catties of seafood from seventy or eighty fish traps, and the crabs, octopuses and shrimp should be able to make some money.

My heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.

They must be thinking about continuing to grow stronger and bigger.

If we continue to increase the number of fish traps on top of the existing ones, does that mean the harvest will continue to double?

There are two or three hundred fish traps.

The harvest will surely be greater than it is now.

"Um."

"Hey, you're coming to town with me later! We'll buy some crab nets and traps, and while we're at it, we'll get some gear to catch octopuses—"

Listen to Fang Qiang's words.

Fang Hao planned to go to town with the other party.

I'll take advantage of the fact that I can get back early today.

Go out and buy some fish traps and fishing nets!

Let's get some more stuff to catch octopuses.

Although it's already past the peak season, we still caught quite a few octopuses today when we were collecting fish traps.

This gave Fang Hao some ideas.

While it's still fishing season, we must continue to increase "production" and make some money as soon as possible.

The fishing season is active from March to May and from September to November each year, which is the best time for fishermen to go out to sea.

There are many typhoons in July and August.

It affects overseas expansion.

"oh oh."

"What equipment should I buy? A net cage?"

Fang Qiang frowned slightly.

To my surprise, my childhood friend actually took my suggestion; he had only mentioned it casually earlier.

After all, buying fish traps costs a lot of money.

"Buy some Jianlibao cans or tin cans, and make a magic octopus catcher."

Fang Hao explained casually.

This thing is incredibly effective at catching octopuses; it's practically guaranteed to catch one every time, making it much more efficient than a fish trap.

"What?"

"Buy a jar!?"

Fang Qiang was also somewhat stunned.

I can understand buying fishing nets and fish traps.

However, I have some doubts about buying aluminum cans and tin cans. Can these cans really catch octopuses?

"Um."

"Don't underestimate this thing."

"Catching octopuses is a piece of cake—it's the same principle as how they use bamboo tubes and jars to catch them in the village; these things love to burrow into holes—"

Fang Hao said with a smile.

Actually, this isn't anything special.

People have been using bamboo tubes or bottles to catch octopuses in the sea for a long time.

Never underestimate the wisdom and power of the people.

This is similar to the cigarette-clamping gadget invented by tobacco technology experts, which was used to clamp drill bits many years ago.

Fang Hao is currently planning to buy a large number of aluminum cans and tin cans, drill holes in them, and connect them with rope.

We'll throw it into the sea then.

The octopus naturally came to them willingly.

Bring back a few hundred jars; that's much more efficient at catching octopuses than using fish traps, and you might even make a profit.

Anyway, these things aren't worth much.

It can be made from some waste bottles and cans and rope; there are no technical difficulties involved.

"oh oh."

Fang Qiang nodded.

They still seemed somewhat skeptical.

Although they roughly understood what was going on, they had reservations about the effectiveness of Fang Haohao using aluminum cans and tin cans to catch octopuses.

In short, will it work?

We'll have to wait and see the final result.

"We'll sell the seafood at the dock and then set off!"

"Leave early and come back early."

Fang Hao nodded slightly and continued.

The reaction from childhood friends is understandable.

Although people have used cans and bottles to catch octopuses before, no one has ever planned to buy a large number of cans like Fang Hao to mass-produce them.

In later generations...

There are even special octopus cups for sale.

Many fishing boats and fishermen catch croakers directly using this thing.

"OK!"

Fang Qiang nodded.

Then they continued to increase the speed of the fishing boat.

We returned to the fishing port in about an hour.

The two of them packed up all the seafood they had caught with fish traps that day and sold it to Wang Mazi.

Two to three hundred pounds of seafood!

It sold for over four hundred yuan.

I earned more than I did yesterday by fishing with nets.

The main issue is that crabs and octopuses are quite expensive, and the two together weigh over 100 jin (50 kg).

The remaining items were shrimp, miscellaneous fish, and so on.

It weighs around 100 to 200 kilograms.

After selling all the seafood.

The two set off on their old-fashioned bicycles to Haisha Town to buy things.

We didn't arrive in town until after 2 p.m.

With a clear goal, I went straight to the store to buy fishing nets. I bought five crab nets and fifty fish traps, and the owner enthusiastically agreed to personally deliver them to my door.

After all, Fang Hao and Fang Qiang had already bought dozens of fish traps before, and now they wanted another fifty, making them a consistently large customer.

"Boss!"

Do you have any empty cans of Jianlibao?

After buying crab nets and crab traps.

Fang Hao and Fang Qiang rushed to a scrap yard in town to inquire about the can.

If you want to buy these aluminum cans and tin cans in bulk, the waste recycling station is definitely the first choice. It gathers most of the waste from the whole town, including cardboard boxes, bottles, scrap copper and iron.

-

"Um?"

"What are you trying to do? Do you have any aluminum cans to sell?"

Liu Bing asked with some doubt.

Looking at the two young men in front of me, who were empty-handed, they didn't seem like they were there to sell scrap.

"How much do aluminum cans like Jianlibao cost these days?"

Fang Hao did not respond to the other party's words.

Instead, they continued to ask about the price.

Let's find out the situation first!

"These jars can be bought by weight or by the piece, basically five cents each."

Liu Bing continued.

There are quite a few in the store now.

Those casual customers who collect garbage and waste products directly collect the waste from the village and bring it to the town to sell to him.

"oh oh."

I want to buy some.

"I don't know how the price is calculated?"

Fang Hao asked directly.

This price isn't too expensive.

You should know that Jianlibao wasn't cheap back then; you could even get a deposit back at the convenience store after taking the can.
