I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

In the past two days, every time the ship sailed to a place, Song Anning would ask Xiangxiang to scan the surrounding area to see if there were any special islands.

There is still no news about Song Feng and Song Zeyu. It would be a lie to say that I am not anxious.

With so many things weighing on her mind, she was content to be able to spend a day relaxing on a rainy day.

She had no experience with trawling and was looking forward to it.

"Xiangxiang, I'm going to sleep first. Please wake me up early tomorrow."

Maybe I used my brain too much when fantasizing in the afternoon, so even after sleeping for a whole morning, my eyelids were still drooping. After washing up, I fell asleep.

The next day, just after dawn, Song Anning was called by Xiangxiang.

In fact, before Xiangxiang called her, she secretly checked her body and found that there was nothing wrong with her, so she woke up Song Anning.

Come to think of it, the master has taken the detoxification pill, and yesterday he took the special antidote for mushroom poisoning, and with the support of the physical fitness pill, it's hard not to be in good shape.

"Master, are you setting down the net so early? It's really early."

Song Anning shook her head and drove the boat towards the island that she had imagined yesterday, with its medicinal herbs and crocodiles. She was now wide awake and wanted to go up and see what was there.

After getting off the boat, the small island in front of me was similar to the island where we pumped puddles that day, except that it was a little bigger and there were several puddles.

"Xiangxiang, is there anything inside?"

While asking Xiangxiang, Song Anning threw a few pebbles into the water. The water was quite deep, so there must be something there.

Sure enough, after Xiangxiang carefully tested it, she excitedly said to Song Anning:

"Master, get started, you deserve it!"

He placed the pump next to the puddle to draw water, while Song Anning carried a small wooden bucket and wandered around the reef area.

There are many oysters and barnacles on the reef, and abalone can even be seen further down.

"Master is lucky to have encountered this."

As Song Anning picked up the next one, Xiangxiang also started to popularize science.

"Ding, wild two-headed abalone and wild three-headed abalone were detected...

Abalone: Also known as nine-hole snail, sea ear, etc. It is nutritious, delicious and a treasure among seafood.

In her popular science lecture, Xiangxiang emphasized how to count the number of abalone heads.

One abalone is one abalone weighing one catty, and two abalone are two abalone weighing one catty together. To put it bluntly, the smaller the abalone, the cheaper it is.

Most abalone on the market are five-headed and six-headed abalone. Three-headed abalone is considered rare, and two-headed and one-headed abalone are even more scarce.

Among these abalones in front of me, five or six are three-head abalones, and the rest are five-head abalones.

Decisively let Xiangxiang take it back.

"Ding, I collected six three-headed abalone, and the amount was 12 taels.

Thirty-seven five-head abalone were recovered, and the amount received was fourteen taels.

"Wow, the price difference is so big..."

Song An Ning smacked his lips and picked up a lot of shellfish on the beach and asked Xiangxiang to collect them. The puddle on the other side was almost cleaned out.

Apart from dozens of black-haired fish, the pit is basically full of crabs, and the large blue crabs are particularly eye-catching.

“Is this a crab pit?”

After gently poking them with her feet a few times, Xiangxiang became particularly enthusiastic in collecting them. This batch of blue crabs grew particularly large and the price was also good.

While cleaning this pit, Song Anning placed the water pump in another pit, so when this one was almost cleaned, the other one was also ready.

This pit is bigger than the previous one, and the bottom of the pit is full of crabs.

"This is like poking a crab nest..."

Song An Ning smiled and joked, and just as she was about to ask Xiangxiang to take it back, she discovered something different.

Many of the crabs in this pit are somewhat different from ordinary blue crabs. There is a faint golden tint in their blue shells, and their bodies are filled with golden grease.

"Master, these are butter crabs! On average, only one or two out of a thousand blue crabs can metamorphose into butter crabs, but there are so many here! This is incredible wealth!"

In fact, Xiangxiang had discovered the butter crabs as early as when Song Anning arrived on the island, and she exclaimed in surprise. Generally speaking, the metamorphosis of butter crabs occurs from June to August. It is only the beginning of May now, so it may be that the climate here is a little different.

"Ding, wild butter crabs detected. Every summer, mature blue crabs will inhabit the shallows of the river while spawning. When the tide is low and they are exposed to the sun, the crab roe in their bodies breaks down into a golden oil."

After Xiangxiang's explanation, Song Anning understood a little bit. It turned out that the butter crab was not a special species, but was transformed from the giant blue crab.

"Take it, Xiangxiang! I want to see how expensive this one-thousandth of a crab is!"

"Okay, Master. I will never let you down."

Xiangxiang said, and then turned on the system to start recycling.

"Ding, I bought a butter crab, and it cost me 13 taels.

Ding, I bought back two butter crabs, and the amount received was 29 taels."

Wow, Song Anning exclaimed wow, after the system upgrade, the price of a pound of blue crab is between five hundred and eight hundred coins, I didn’t expect the price of a butter crab to be so high!

Among the pile of crabs in front of me, there are at least dozens of butter crabs.

Xiangxiang collected most of them, leaving more than ten, which she put into her backpack and prepared to take home for her family to taste.

It's a bit expensive, but what's the meaning of life? Isn't it to provide a better life for yourself and your family?

The price of more than ten butter crabs is about two hundred taels, but Song An Ning didn't feel sorry at all. He picked dozens of large blue crabs and put them into his backpack.

Anyway, the backpack keeps the food fresh, so you can just take it out whenever you want to eat.

After harvesting from these two puddles, the income from butter crabs alone was more than 700 taels. Blue crabs, flower crabs, swimming crabs, and red flower crabs also brought her more than 300 taels of silver.

After putting the water pump into his backpack, Song Anning circled the island again. This time, it didn't matter. The reef on the other side of the island was densely covered with abalone.

"Oh my god, the mushrooms I ate yesterday were worth it. There's really something special on this island."

Looking at the abalone in front of him, Song Anning's eyes widened. They looked like small silver ingots lying on the reef.

Abalone is like a big suction cup. You cannot use brute force to catch it. Instead, you can take it down easily when it is not prepared and before it can exert any force. The main thing is to catch it off guard.

If you encounter abalone firmly attached to the reef, don't worry. Use a small knife as a crowbar and you can easily pry the abalone off.

There were mostly five-head and six-head abalone on this large piece of land. Song An Ning spent a full hour prying it out before he could barely clean up the large area.

The sun slowly rose from the distant horizon, and the sky was cloudless. She wiped the sweat from her head and returned to the boat carrying the small wooden bucket.

After a busy morning, Song Anning didn't feel tired at all. After a short rest, he went into the small warehouse behind the cabin and took out a trawl net that was neither too big nor too small.

"Master, are we going to cast our nets and catch fish?"

"The answer is correct, good luck in starting the work!"
