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

Chapter 044: Blue Melon Seeds and Spicy Seafood Strips

"Wife!"

"Look...it's blue melon seeds!"

Fang Hao put away another fish trap.

Inside, a surprising figure was discovered.

Blue grouper!

Its scientific name is Fine-spotted Grouper.

It can also be called bluefin grouper.

However, locals prefer to call it blue melon seeds.

This thing has fine dots of varying shades on its sides, and its eye color changes depending on its mood, ranging from bright blue to deep cyan-black.

A type of grouper!

"what?"

"Is this fish very expensive?"

Song Yaxin asked with a hint of surprise.

I remember the last spotted rat I caught sold for three hundred dollars, so I instinctively assumed this blue melon seed would be just as valuable.

She doesn't know anything about these fish!

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

If it can sell for two or three hundred yuan, it would be a huge profit, like winning the lottery.

Beachcombing seems to be quite profitable!

"Uh... not really."

"This thing is nowhere near as good as a rat-spotted mouse..."

Fang Hao shook his head directly.

Not all fish are called "mouse grouper".

Blue grouper can still be caught frequently, but its price is nowhere near that of mouse grouper.

It's a pretty good fish, though!

It's at least more expensive than a blue crab!

"oh oh."

Song Yaxin was somewhat disappointed.

Sure enough, people's expectations keep rising, and the previous rat-spotted mouse gave her a point of comparison.

It's like you got 100 points on the last exam, but only got 90 points this time. You're bound to feel a little disappointed.

It's not that 90 points isn't good enough.

It's not that 90 points is better than 100 points.

"Okay!"

"It would be good to catch some blue melon seeds."

"This cage was worth it... Let's move on to the next one, maybe there will be a big surprise waiting for us in the next few cages!"

Fang Hao said with a smile.

We just caught more than a dozen fish traps.

Some people have a large harvest, while others have a small harvest.

No cage was used by the Air Force.

So both buckets are almost full.

At least several dozen kilograms of seafood!

It has all sorts of random things.

"Uh-huh!"

Song Yaxin nodded.

My anticipation rekindled.

After all, as long as the last trap hasn't been removed, there are still endless possibilities. Maybe the next one will be a spotted rat?

People always need to have hopes and dreams!

Then.

The two continued collecting the traps.

The anticipation and joy of the harvest made them forget their fatigue.

……

"Holy crap!"

Fang Hao suddenly started swearing.

He simply threw away the fish trap he was holding.

I was completely startled.

"What's wrong?"

Song Yaxin was also startled.

She was originally looking forward to some good reward.

I was suddenly startled by Fang Hao's "crazy" behavior; people can be terrifying.

My heart was still pounding for a moment.

It almost jumped into my throat.

However, they still quickly inquired about it with concern.

"..."

"There are spicy seaweed strips."

Fang Hao calmed himself down a bit.

When I pulled up the cage just now, I found a large black and white creature inside, and I immediately reacted excessively on my instinct.

After all, I was genuinely frightened.

"what?"

"Spicy sea noodles???"

Song Yaxin was clearly a little confused.

Why are there spicy strips in the sea?

For a moment, I was filled with question marks.

"snake…"

Fang Hao immediately explained.

He never expected to be so lucky as to catch a giant sea serpent.

It's important to know that snakes aren't only found in the mountains.

There are snakes in the water too.

Moreover, sea snakes are extremely venomous.

The flat-tailed sea snake in front of us is quite well-known; its black and white stripes are similar to those of a land cobra.

"what?"

Song Yaxin was startled again.

My body instinctively stepped back.

Women have a natural fear of snakes.

Now that I know this spicy snack is actually a snake, it's normal to feel some instinctive fear.

"I'll pull it up first."

After Fang Hao finished speaking, he picked up the ground cage again.

At the same time, carefully collect it first!

Avoid being bitten by sea snakes.

"You...be careful."

Song Yaxin quickly reminded her.

I started to feel a bit nervous.

They were afraid that Fang Hao might accidentally get bitten.

You should know that venomous snakes can be quite dangerous!

"Hi-yo~"

"Ah!~"

...

"..."

"Ahem~ Just kidding..."

Fang Hao suddenly pretended to shout.

Song Yaxin was immediately terrified and jumped up, her face turning pale.

He originally just wanted to tease the other person!

"..."

Song Yaxin glared at him fiercely.

I even reminded him to be careful.

As it turns out, this bastard even scared himself.

He's such a bad guy!

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

"These spicy sea cucumber strips are really big."

"I estimate it weighs about two or three pounds!"

Fang Hao then put the cage back up.

Only then can you truly see its full picture.

Its body is about the thickness of two fingers of a water pipe.

Black and white stripes.

It kept sticking out its tongue and swimming around.

"Don't be afraid!"

"It can't escape."

Seeing that Song Yaxin was somewhat frightened.

They even kept their distance.

Fang Hao couldn't help but speak up as well.

After all, once you're inside the cage, it's not so easy to get out unless you unlock the exit.

"..."

Song Yaxin shook her head.

No matter what Fang Hao said, she wouldn't get close.

He scared me twice just now.

"Leave it for now!"

"Come back and pick up the rest after you've collected everything else."

There are sea snakes inside.

Fang Hao didn't dare to release it directly.

This guy with the black and white tattoos is poisonous; it'll be troublesome if he gets bitten.

As he spoke, he temporarily put the fish trap back into the water.

I'll come back to get the other traps later.

"Uh-huh."

Song Yaxin nodded quickly.

Deep down, I couldn't wait to leave.

This snake looks a bit creepy.

"There's really nothing to be afraid of!"

"It's quite normal to catch snakes with fish traps; there are plenty of them in the sea..."

Fang Hao said to Song Yaxin.

The ocean is so vast and rich in species resources.

It's perfectly normal to see snakes!

"Uh-huh."

"Be careful when you put the trap away later."

"Check carefully for snakes before collecting them..."

Song Yaxin nodded and reminded her again.

I never thought that fish traps could catch snakes.

It's given her a bit of a psychological scar now. There's a saying, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy."

Even if you haven't been bitten yet!

But after what happened, I'm a little scared. It's always good to be careful.

"Know."

Fang Hao nodded.

As someone who lives by the sea, I understand.

Actually, sea serpents are good things!

It has many benefits and uses.

"There are still a few fish traps."

"We need to speed things up."

Fang Hao continued.

He and Fang Qiang each took in about twenty.

We've already collected more than a dozen.

We've already bought almost two barrels of seafood.

There are many small fish, shrimp, and crabs among them.

However, there are some good things too!

At least this time the traps worked quite well.

It seems like there's still a lot of potential!

"Uh-huh."

Upon hearing this...

Song Yaxin's mood improved a bit.

Today's catch from collecting fish traps was pretty good; at least we should be able to sell all this seafood for some money.

Fang Hao had spent a lot of money buying the traps, and he would suffer a huge loss if he didn't get any.

Done.

The two then moved on to collect the next trap.
