Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Li Yuer slept like a little pig, successfully avoiding dinner and sleeping until the next morning.

Li Erlang has been hanging around Li Yuer since early morning, showing his courtesy for no reason.

Li Yuer took a bite of the fried cake that Zhao had left for her, glanced at Li Erlang who was smiling very attentively, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that. It scares me."

"Is this the kind of person I am in your heart?" Li Erlang had a pitiful expression on his face.

Li Yu'er was about to leave, but Li Erlang quickly stopped her and said, "No, no, no, my dear sister, let's talk it out nicely, don't be so irritable."

"What's your matter?"

Li Erlang said with a sly look in his eyes: "The banknote from yesterday..."

So it was about this matter. Li Yuer had no intention of embezzling it, so he said directly, "The banknotes cannot be moved for the time being."

"why?"

"You need to go to a bank to withdraw the silver bills, otherwise we will be targeted."

Seeing the regret in Li Erlang's eyes, Li Yu'er said, "Let me ask Sister Qingran if this banknote is accepted throughout Cangyuan. If it is, we can exchange it somewhere else if we have a chance."

"Okay then." Li Erlang turned away disappointedly, then suddenly remembered that he had something else to do, so he turned back and said, "Naonao said yesterday that he was going to the beach today, are you going?"

"Go ahead, it's okay anyway."

Still the old place, gathering under the big willow tree in the east of the village.

Nao Nao and his friends were very motivated and they earned more than 160 coins for their family in two days. They would definitely seize the opportunity to make a fortune before the New Year when seafood was still selling at a high price.

Laobie Bay is very beautiful after the snow, and the sea presents a strange collision beauty.

Unlike other beaches, Laobie Bay where the river flows into the sea is not covered with a complete snow coat, but messy and broken personalized clothes.

The slightly warmer river water from the mountains slowly flows into the sea, melting the ice and snow on the beach into small pieces of ice, a pile here and a piece there, floating in the sea or piling up on the coast.

After being baptized by the winter snow, the sea breeze blows towards you, but it has a somewhat light and ethereal temperament.

Li Yuer took a deep breath, feeling the primitive joy and freedom from nature.

"The tide is receding! The tide is receding!" Erdan cheered as he looked at the receding tide on the beach.

They have been worried that the snow will affect the low tide and they will not be able to go fishing if the beach is covered with snow.

Biaozi ran straight to the puddle as if he knew the way well.

Not far from the puddle, you can see crabs quickly running into the puddle and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Splash!" The fish, startled by the crab, jumped out of the water, left a beautiful silver flower in the air, and then quickly fell back into the water.

Fish are not afraid of the cold, but they are afraid of lack of oxygen. Therefore, Laobie Bay, which is not blocked by ice and snow, has become a good place for many marine creatures to exchange oxygen.

"There's something!" Biaozi said happily.

"I see! Judging from the situation, there must be a lot of things in the pit." Erdan said.

"It would be better if there were more large goods." said Nao Nao.

Since Li Erlang has the ability to get on board the Nongchao Tower, they won't have to worry about not getting a good price for their seafood, and they will be able to sell as much as they can.

"Brothers! Let's get started!" The loud and loud shouts encouraged everyone to be eager to try and get ready for a big fight.

It was still the same old lineup, Li Erlang was fishing underwater, Erdan and Biaozi were responsible for pulling the net, and Li Yuer and Naonao were responsible for picking up on the shore.

"Good start!"

Without waiting for Erdan and the other man to pull the net, Li Erlang casually scooped up a fish.

"It's a real sea bream! This is good!" Erdan said happily.

Li Erlang brought the fish ashore with a scoop net, and Naonao immediately grabbed the fish from the scoop net and threw it into the bucket.

Li Yuer tested the water temperature with his hand. The sea water was too cold today, so he said, "Brother, no, even if you wear boots, you can't stay in the water for a long time. You will get sick in the future."

"Or, let's put on boots and take turns going into the water later." Naonao had wanted to do this for a long time. He couldn't let Li Erlang stay down there alone all the time.

"I agree!" Erdan and Biaozi both agreed.

Li Yuer said, "That's fine, but we should find some big square rocks and put them in the water for people to step on. No matter who goes into the water, they may get frozen. It will be better with rocks. Besides, seafood likes to hide under rocks. With rocks, more seafood can be retained.

We have plenty of time, so putting a few stones there won’t hinder our fishing, and the fish won’t be able to escape from the pit.”

So, a few people carried a few square stones from the hillside near the beach, laid them in the water, and used them as footstools.

"Yubaoer is so smart. This is a good method. We can use it whenever we come here to catch fish in the future." Erdan said.

Laying down stones would affect the pulling of the net, so Li Erlang thought of a solution. When the net was pulled to the edge of the stone, the person underwater would use his hands to push the net along the stone, so that the fish could not escape.

No matter how Erdan and the other man pulled the net, there were too many things underwater today, so Li Erlang started to scoop up the net directly, taking whatever he caught.

"Dog shark, it's a dog shark!"

Li Erlang happily threw the dog shark onto the shore with a scoop net.

Naonao carefully pulled the dog shark out of the scoop net. "This thing's bite is very painful, so you really have to be careful. When you go back, be careful when you dump the fish out, don't get bitten."

The dog shark is a very small shark, not much different in size from an ordinary fish. Its scientific name is the bamboo shark. It has a slender, brown body, small eyes and a big mouth. It will bite people, but will not actively attack humans.

Dog shark meat is non-acidic, tastes great, and is rich in collagen, making it suitable for nourishing the body for the elderly and children.

Dog shark soup is a specialty, very nutritious and delicious. Dog sharks are bottom-dwelling fish and are generally difficult to catch with fishing nets, so the price is not low.

The dog shark that Li Erlang scooped up with a scoop net was not very big, about the size of an adult's arm, but it was very fat.

"Is this dog shark worth ten cents per pound?" Erdan asked.

Nao Nao weighed it over and said, "It's not possible during the sea season, but it's about the same now."

"Next!" Li Erlang caught another fish in a few tries.

"Oh my god! It's another real sea bream! This bait is really effective!"

Biaozi watched the fish come ashore one by one and wanted to go down and catch them instead of Li Erlang.

Naonao kept catching fish. Although his hands were a little cold, he was very happy.

His second elder brother will take part in the provincial examination next autumn, and that is the time when money is needed. A poor family can be rich on the road, so every extra penny means an extra security.

Biaozi and Erdan also hurried to pull the net, but they were not pulling it fast enough and often encountered resistance. This made them even happier because there were so many things underwater.

As the range of the net narrowed, Li Erlang was able to catch more fish.

"Look! What did I get?"

A green-shelled lobster was struggling in the scoop net. Its two large claws directly broke a small hole in the scoop net, scaring Li Erlang so much that he quickly threw it onto the shore.

Naonao and Li Yuer cooperated with each other, one holding the scoop net tightly with both hands while the other tried to remove the green shells from the net.

"Get it out quickly, otherwise the net will break." said Nao Nao.

"Be careful, Brother Naonao, don't break the pliers. If you break them, they will be worthless." Biaozi kindly reminded.

"You don't need to tell me, Naonao knows, that's right, that's right."

Erdan felt the resistance under his hands getting stronger and stronger. Following the constantly vibrating net, he could feel that there were many fish underwater.

"Just Biaozi, pull harder! I saw your mother cutting meat yesterday, and she still has no strength after eating the meat!" Erdan complained.

Biaozi said unconvincedly: "I have tried my best, I think it is you who can't do it!"
