Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

"I'm so lucky today. I got lobster and yellow croaker. It's really worth the trip." Biaozi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Biaozi is the great-grandson of the clan leader. Although he is the clan leader, his family's living standard is similar to that of ordinary villagers. Fushui Village is mostly hilly and mountainous, with few farmlands, which are not fertile and produce average grain. Villagers cannot rely solely on farming, but also have to go out to sea to make a living.

Biaozi has many brothers and sisters, and his family is not well off, so he often goes out to catch seafood, not only to satisfy his hunger but also to come across some valuable goods.

However, is it so easy to find a big deal? Scarcity makes things valuable. If a big deal can be found by everyone, then it is no longer a big deal.

"Don't be distracted, keep pulling the net." Naonao said while standing in the water.

"Oh well."

Several people started pulling the net again and caught a few small fish, most of which were crabs. Nao Nao wanted to throw them away directly, but was stopped by Li Yuer, who then pocketed them all.

"Crash!"

When the net was almost pulled to the end, the hiding space for the fish trapped in the puddle became smaller. When there was only an area as big as the wellhead left where they could move freely, a group of fish made their last struggle at the end of the fishing net and the puddle.

"Wow! So many fish!"

"Erdan, Biaozi, don't be distracted! Pull the net tight and don't let them get away!"

Li Yuer and Nannan also came forward to help. The fishing net was tightened more and more, and the fish in the puddle struggled harder and harder. Their strength was amazing, and everyone tried their best.

Li Yuer thought quickly and shouted, "Just pull the net to the shore, don't use the scoop net!"

So Naonao put down the scoop net and helped push the net in the water. On the shore and in the water, the friends worked together to pull the net.

"persist in!"

"Oh my god! My hand is about to be broken!"

"It's almost there! Don't let go!"

The mermaids fought each other, and in the end, humans won! Several people worked together to drag the fishing net to the shore.

A group of fish were trapped in the fishing net, struggling and jumping.

Without taking a rest, they took a breath and started catching fish.

"Be careful, don't let the fish jump back into the water!" Nao Nao warned while catching the fish.

"Don't worry, Brother Naonao. Even if I jump into the water, I won't let the fish jump into the water." Erdan only picks the big fish first.

The fish was dragged ashore from the puddle by several people. Because it had struggled in the water for a while, the water in the puddle had been stirred up and there was some mud on the fish. At first glance, it was not easy to tell what kind of fish it was.

But some fish have obvious characteristics and you can tell what kind of fish it is at a glance.

"Snake! There's a snake!" Nannan's voice changed in fear. Li Yuer was closest to her and was the first to run forward to check the situation.

Sea snakes are generally poisonous. In this era, there is a lack of medical care and medicine, and medical technology is backward. If you are bitten by a sea snake, the neuroparalytic toxin will spread quickly and there is basically no hope of survival.

Li Yuer first pulled the frightened Nannan back, and then held down the snake with fire tongs.

She turned to Erdan and said, "Erdan, run some water over it and see what it is."

Erdan picked up a big shell, scooped some sea water from the nearby puddle, and splashed it at the water snake.

Most of the mud on the water snake's body was washed away, revealing its true appearance.

A spotted big sea eel opened its mouth wide, revealing its ferocious fangs, and kept twisting its smooth, scaleless body.

The moray eel is a ferocious marine predatory fish that likes to live in the crevices of reefs and hunt for food by surprise attacks.

Most of them have brown backs with patterns and spots on them, and their bellies are mostly silver. They have slender bodies, no scales, and are very smooth, looking very similar to snakes.

The eel has a pointed head and a particularly large mouth filled with rows of sharp teeth with amazing bite force.

If a person is accidentally bitten by it, blood may flow and the injury may be serious.

Li Yuer recognized that the "sea snake" was actually a moray eel, and he was no longer so scared.

She quickly said to her friends: "Don't be afraid, this is not a sea snake, it's a moray eel, it's not poisonous."

Naonao and the others also knew about moray eels, but they were frightened for a moment and didn't dare to get closer to take a look.

"It's really a moray eel. I was scared to death." Biaozi patted his chest, feeling a little scared.

"I really thought it was a sea snake. This thing looks like a sea snake." Erdan said as he took a closer look at the moray eel.

Although the moray eel looks scary, its meat is very tender and has high nutritional value. It can be used for medicinal purposes, generally to supplement nutrition and improve anemia, and is very suitable for postpartum pregnant women.

Nao Nao bravely stepped forward, held the moray eel's head with one hand and its body with the other, and said, "Yu Baoer, you can let go now."

Li Yuer let go of the fire tongs, and Naonao quickly picked up the conger eel and put it into the bucket.

"Moray eels are expensive and can be sold for a good price." Nao Nao said, "This moray eel is very big and fat."

When they heard that it was valuable, several children gathered around to see what was new. Even the frightened daughter came over and looked into the bucket through Erdan.

"This thing really looks like a worm, it's creepy." Erdan said.

Nao Nao said, "This thing is very nutritious. Rich people in the city like it. You can mind their business. We won't eat it anyway. We'll just sell it at a high price."

Biaozi smiled and said, "Brother Naonao is right. If we sell them, we can get a lot of food. Maybe we can even get a piece of meat."

Naonao waved his hands and said, "Don't look at it anymore. Hurry up and catch the other fish. Stay a while longer, or they won't die."

Erdan saw a big fish under the net and caught it. After a closer look, he said in disappointment, "It's a barracuda, and a white-eyed barracuda. ​​It's a waste of such a big fish."

He casually threw four or five pounds of white-eyed crickets into the bucket, and the bucket was immediately filled up by half.

There are two common types of sea mullets in the nearby waters. One has white eyes, which become whiter when cooked; the other has dark yellow and reddish eyes, and is called red-eyed sea mullet.

White-eye mullet is a common fish. It tastes average, has delicate meat but a faint earthy smell. It is a cheap fish in the fish market.

Biaozi caught several black carps, which were not worth much, so he just threw them into the bucket.

"Don't throw them here." Nannan stopped him, "We should pack them separately. Put the good fish together and keep them well to sell for money. Put the ordinary ones together and eat them when they die."

Naonao looked at Nannan approvingly and said, "Not bad, that's how it should be categorized."

Therefore, the fish were divided into two categories. The good fish were put together, so they had more space and water and would not be allowed to die. The ordinary fish were put together, so they were not afraid of them dying, and they would be eaten by themselves if they died.

Most of this group of fish are common fish, such as pike, bluefish, bighead carp, pointedhead carp, and bighead carp.

At this time, Li Yuer found that a fish had fallen under the rock, with only a tail covered in mud sticking out.

"There's another one here. It might have just jumped over here."

Li Yuer dragged the fish out from under the stone. Unexpectedly, the fish was quite big. No wonder it had the strength to jump so far.

After being dragged out by Li Yuer, the fish started jumping again, and then slid to the ground again.

Naonao saw it and went forward to hold down the fish.

"Haha, you're a fish that has slipped through the net and you still want to escape? No way." Nao Nao said proudly.

"what fish is this?"

After the other fish were caught and sorted, the friends gathered together to watch the fun when they had some free time.

"It looks quite big. Come, let me flush it with some water to see what kind of fish it is." Erdan scooped up a shell of water with a shell and flushed it towards the fish covered in mud.

"Oh my god!" The sharp-eyed Nao Nao shouted, "Giant grouper! Incredible!"

"Hurry! Pour more water!" Naonao urged Erdan to scoop water to rinse the fish. He was afraid that he had seen it wrong and wanted to rinse the fish thoroughly to confirm it.

"Splash!" Another burst of water washed away the silt, and everyone saw it clearly.

"What a giant grouper!"

"No one in our village has caught a giant grouper in a long time!"

"How much does this fish weigh?"

"It only weighs five or six pounds, so it's not that big. Be content." Nao Nao quickly picked up the fish and carefully put it into the bucket. "This guy is the most valuable here."

The giant grouper is the largest grouper. Li Yuer remembered that the largest grouper recorded in the previous life was more than 2 meters long and weighed more than 800 kilograms, about the same size as a calf.

Grouper is very delicious and has high nutritional value. Its meat is tender and white, and looks like chicken, so it is known as "chicken of the sea".

Moreover, many places regard the giant grouper as a lucky thing, implying good fortune and prosperity. For example, carp, because it sounds like "li", is believed to imply smooth sailing.
