"It's good that you know I'm capable." Jiang Han stuffed the money into Zhang Haidai's hand again.

"Are you going to the beach tomorrow?" Jiang Han asked.

"Why go fishing? Aren't you tired?" Zhang Haidai felt that if someone like him went fishing, the villagers would laugh at him.

"This time when I came back, I planned to develop in our village. So I went to the beach today and will go tomorrow as well. Now I'm in need of a helper."

Zhang Haidai immediately patted his chest and assured, "Brother Han, don't worry, I have plenty of strength. I have endless energy in my body, so you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Han was amused by him, "Why, you are not afraid of being tired now?"

"Did I say I was tired? I must have said that wrongly."

Jiang Han was really impressed by him, "Are you still going to fight?"

Zhang Haidai shook his head vigorously. "I have serious things to do right now. Why would I want to fight?"

He was too embarrassed to tell Jiang Han that when he first got out of prison, he also wanted to find a good job.

But the island is so small, and you can find out that he has been in jail by just asking around.

He won't get any good jobs.

Even if he wanted to sell his physical labor to work on a ship or at the dock, the ship captain and the people at the dock would still think he was unlucky.

After a while, he started to live a slacking life again.

Anyway, I'm free anyway. Instead of not knowing what to do, I might as well follow Brother Han and help him.

Jiang Han knew that Zhang Haidai was not a bad person by nature. If his parents had been nicer to him, he would not have become like that.

"Okay, let's settle accounts clearly, brothers. Do you want wages or a share of the profits?"

Zhang Haidai knew that fishing wasn't very profitable these days, maybe only a few dozen yuan a day. If he took the wages, Han Ge would be at a huge loss.

"I just want a share of the profits. Just give me 10%."

If Brother Han earned twenty yuan, he would only take two. It was better than him living aimlessly.

"Okay, it's done." Jiang Han felt that he was quite generous to his brother.

"Where's your motorcycle? Take it out and use it." He wanted to go to town, and it would be much more convenient to use a motorcycle.

He remembered that this motorcycle was bought by Zhang Haidai after he was imprisoned. His parents had used the money given by those families to buy a lot of nice things. The money for his eldest son's wedding also came from this money.

Later, the motorcycle was also given to the eldest son.

Zhang Haidai was a little embarrassed, but when he heard that Jiang Han wanted to use it, he didn't hesitate. At worst, he would be beaten by his parents and then by his elder brother when he came back.

Zhang Haidai stole the motorcycle while his family was not paying attention.

Jiang Han was driving a motorcycle and Zhang Haidai was sitting behind him.

"If your family asks you, just tell them I'm paying you. Eighty dollars a day, understand?"

Zhang Haidai felt that Brother Han was trying to save face. "I understand. From now on, if anyone asks me, I'll tell them you give me eighty every day."

Jiang Han nodded in satisfaction, and half an hour later, the two arrived in town.

Jiang Han went to the fishing tackle store first. He needed to buy some tools for fishing.

The things at home are rusty and old and are really not easy to use.

Jiang Han first looked at the pliers, which were more useful on rocky beaches. The pliers in the store were eel pliers, which could also be used to catch octopuses.

Jiang Han bought two of each, one with a straight mouth and one with a curved mouth.

After some bargaining, the four pliers finally cost me one hundred and fifty dollars.

He also bought two pairs of high-top rain boots and a dozen beach-hunting gloves.

These professional sea-hunting gloves are non-slip and anti-puncture, but they are also consumables, so I bought some more.

I also bought two sets of sun-protective clothing. When I go to the beach on a sunny day, I need to protect not only my face but also exposed areas like my arms.

Otherwise, the sun at the seaside will let you know what it means for black and white to appear on the same person.

If you go fishing at night, you need a headlamp. If you use a flashlight, you will have one hand less to do the work.

He also bought a shovel and a rake.

These two things have short handles, so they are easier to use and the seafood is not easily damaged.

He also bought a long-handled shovel, which was heavier and saved a lot of effort.

The boss saw Jiang Han holding a bunch of things, so he took the opportunity to sell him something: "Buy some traps. The new ones we've got are of very good quality."

Seeing Jiang Han's hesitation, the boss said, "Although it's the sea closure period now, you can put the trap in the reservoir or river."

Although the island is surrounded by water, it is relatively short of fresh water resources.

Jiaowa Island is an exception. It has a river with abundant water and a reservoir.

But this river and reservoir are quite far from where Jiang Han lives.

Since Jiang Han chose to return to his hometown, he didn't want to overwork himself.

But under the boss's repeated salesmanship, he finally bought six small ground traps, as he would need them next time anyway.

He bought another large can of bait.

When I was about to leave, I was attracted by something that looked like a long water gun placed in the corner.

"Boss, what is this?"

When the boss saw someone asking this, he immediately became excited.

The villagers have a poor ability to accept new things. This thing has been brought in for many days, but no one has paid any attention to it.

"This is a shrimp extractor. It's very easy to use. Just point the head at the air hole and apply force to pull the shrimp out."

"Although it's called a shrimp extractor, in addition to extracting regular shrimp, it can also extract mantis shrimp and sea cucumbers."

Jiang Han liked this as soon as he heard it. It was much more convenient than doing it directly or using a shovel.

"I hope this shrimp extractor won't suffocate or crush the shrimp."

When they were young, they used special noose to catch mantis shrimp. Although it was a sharp tool, it was difficult to control.

If you use too little force, the shrimp won't be able to be caught. If you use too much force, the shrimp will be torn apart.

"How could it possibly break? This thing is much easier to use than a noose. It saves effort and is efficient, and it guarantees that the things you pull out will be alive and kicking." The boss assured, patting his chest.

"Does this thing come with an instruction manual?"

The boss was stunned by the question. The people on the island are all country bumpkins. Few people buy things and ask for instructions.

"Yes, I'll find it for you."

The boss brought the instruction manual to Jiang Han to read. After reading it, Jiang Han felt that this was simply a magical tool for catching sea.

I didn't expect that even the tools he used for sea fishing had kept up with the times after he hadn't gone there for so many years.

"How much is this shrimp extractor?"

"Eighty yuan each, that's the lowest price."

"I've bought so many things, can't I get a discount?"

The boss shook his head, "It really can't be any lower."

He originally planned to sell them for 200 yuan each, but who knew that no one would buy them for so long? Now he just hopes that the goods won't be a waste of money.

Jiang Han gritted his teeth and decided to buy two.

Zhang Haidai asked Jiang Han if he wanted a scoop net. Long-handled ones were inexpensive, ten yuan each. Jiang Han bought two more.

Jiang Han only had 2,500 yuan on him, but he didn't expect to spend 1,600 yuan in this fishing tackle store.

Walking out of the fishing tackle shop, Jiang Han saw a small, closed shop next to it.

There was a cardboard hanging at the door: Collecting seafood.

There was also a phone number written on the back.
