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

Chapter 012: Are you planning to sell it?

"Wife!"

Fang Hao returned carrying the bucket.

It was discovered that Song Yaxin was no longer surrounded by many people; they had obviously all gone elsewhere.

After all, one can't stay in one place while searching the sea; one has to go around and dig everywhere to find something. No matter how much stuff is in one place, it will eventually be all gone.

at this time.

Song Yaxin should be waiting for him where she is!

"Where...did you go?"

Fang Hao finally returned.

A fleeting look of joy crossed Song Yaxin's face.

It was a bit scary late at night, especially with fewer and fewer people around me.

She originally wanted to go with Zhou Xiuping.

Later, she worried that Fang Hao wouldn't be able to find her when he came back.

All I could do was stay here, dig for snails, and wait for him.

"I went and got some good stuff."

"Look..."

As Fang Hao spoke, he handed the bucket over.

Use pliers to pry open the branches and leaves inside, revealing your big haul for tonight: octopus, giant blue crab, and more!

These are all good things.

Ordinary people can't catch them while beachcombing.

"Wow!"

"So many... such big crabs."

Song Yaxin also exclaimed in surprise.

I never expected Fang Hao to have caught so many.

At a glance, there were at least a dozen crabs, three of which were as big as an adult male's palm.

"Did you catch a crab?"

"Let me see..."

Song Yaxin's commotion indeed attracted the attention of those nearby.

Two middle-aged women immediately came over, wanting to see if they had really caught a crab.

"What a huge blue crab!"

"These three must weigh at least a pound each, they could probably sell for several yuan each..."

"Ah-Ba!"

"Where did you catch it?"

The two middle-aged women immediately perked up.

One blue crab is worth more than many snails and clams, and their hearts immediately warmed up.

Clearly, they also wanted to get some information from Fang Hao and see if they could still try their luck.

"Um...over there by the rocky outcrop at the water inlet."

"But there probably aren't any more!"

Fang Hao said directly.

I understand what they're thinking.

Right now, seeing him eat meat makes them want to have a sip of soup too.

"I'll go take a look!"

One of the women immediately spoke up.

He then packed up his tools and hurried to the place Fang Hao had mentioned, afraid that he would miss something if he was late.

After all, Fang Hao caught more than a dozen blue crabs by himself, which proves that there may be quite a few more there, and there may be some that escaped the net.

If only we could catch two or three big blue crabs.

Then it's worth it!

"..."

Fang Hao shook his head helplessly.

There might indeed be blue crabs in the reefs and shallow waters over there, but finding them won't be an easy task.

But that's their problem!

After all, he wasn't lying; those blue crabs were indeed caught there.

"Ah-Ba!"

"I didn't expect you to be so lucky."

"These mud crabs can probably sell for tens of yuan, which is equivalent to more than half a month's income for some people..."

"Um."

The people around continued to express their envy.

After all, there are so many large blue crabs and octopuses.

Anyone who saw this would feel a little envious and jealous.

They all clearly thought that Fang Hao was just incredibly lucky to have caught so many things.

More than a dozen large blue crabs!

This thing is worth quite a bit of money.

Let's go!

"I'm going back..."

Fang Hao gave everyone a perfunctory response.

Then he said to Song Yaxin.

After being out and about for so long, I've returned with a full load of goodies.

When I get back, I'll get myself a late-night snack first, at least to fill my stomach before I can go to sleep.

"Uh-huh."

Song Yaxin had no objections.

I'm a bit tired after digging for snails for so long, but I've managed to collect more than half a bucketful, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

"Give me the bucket!"

Fang Hao reached out and took the bucket from Song Yaxin.

Then let Song Yaxin use lighter tools so she wouldn't be so tired.

"Um?"

"You even want cow dung snails? Those things are full of mud and don't taste good; nobody usually wants them when they're beachcombing..."

Fang Hao looked at Song Yaxin's bucket and saw a variety of snails, including cow dung snails, red-mouthed snails, white snails, and clams, all of different species and sizes.

He shook his head, somewhat speechless.

As expected, they didn't grow up by the sea.

They don't even know how to choose good items when going beachcombing.

The cow dung snail is large.

But it didn't taste very good.

Most people wouldn't take it when they go beachcombing.

I didn't expect this girl to have dug up quite a lot.

"what?"

"I thought this was a snail too."

Song Yaxin was completely dumbfounded.

She seemed quite happy while she was digging.

Although this cow dung snail looks dark and unremarkable, it is much larger than other snails.

It's so exciting to dig!

I originally thought I had gained a lot.

Unexpectedly, what they dug up was something that no one else wanted.

"never mind."

"Since you've gone through the trouble of digging... let's take it back first."

Fang Hao shook his head.

It's the result of their hard work, so there's nothing wrong with taking it back.

Just because it doesn't taste good doesn't mean you can't eat it!

Let's just take them all home first.

"..."

Song Yaxin pursed her lips.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

The two then walked back one after the other.

"Fang Hao! You're so good at beachcombing... could you teach me sometime?"

Song Yaxin couldn't help but ask softly.

She had seen the envy and jealousy of those women earlier, and she also learned from them that these blue crabs might be worth tens of yuan.

I was both shocked and impressed!

Tens of yuan is a lot!

If you learn how to beachcomb yourself.

It can also help earn some money for household expenses in the future.

"no problem."

"As long as you're not afraid of getting tired, it's fine."

Fang Hao smiled and nodded.

Living by the sea, isn't it easy to go beachcombing?

As long as the tide recedes.

You can get off anytime, anywhere!

"Are you planning to sell these crabs?"

Followed by.

Song Yaxin's eyes were fixed on the crabs in the bucket.

"Let's get a few to eat when we get back."

"If we can't finish it, we'll sell the rest..."

There were more than a dozen large blue crabs.

Fang Hao estimated that they probably wouldn't be able to finish it.

This stuff should sell for a few yuan per kilogram now, but it's been so long that he can't remember the exact price.

"oh oh."

Song Yaxin nodded.

Then he didn't say anything more.

After all, these crabs and octopuses were Fang Hao's own catch, and it was his business how he wanted to deal with them.

However, she still felt it was better to sell it.

It can supplement the family income to some extent.

"So... will you come again tomorrow night?"

Song Yaxin thought for a moment and then asked another question.

She found beachcombing quite interesting.

At least we gained something!

This is much better than farming.

"I'll watch it tomorrow night!"

"Come if you want! The tides have been good these past few days, and there's something to catch..."

Fang Hao pondered for a moment before speaking.

Around the first or fifteenth of each month.

Large low tides are perfect for beachcombing.

During this time of year, villagers would also go beachcombing on a large scale. If they caught something good, they would sell it for money; if they caught something ordinary, they would eat it at home.

Why not do it?

"All right!"

Song Yaxin nodded.

It's up to Fang Hao to decide this.

If he's willing to come, I'll come along; if he's not willing to come, then I'll just leave it at that.
