Chapter 79
Afterwards, the three of them wandered around the island for more than half an hour and found a source of fresh water.
The water was clear and tasted cool and sweet.
It was much better than the fresh water source in the village. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect...
After seeing the sun gradually setting, the three of them also walked towards the location of the boat.
After all, it was quite dangerous to walk in the jungle at night. If you encounter spicy strips or something, it would still hurt if you were bitten!
When they got to the boat, the three of them simply had dinner to deal with it.
Uncle San couldn’t wait to say, "Xiaochuan, let’s go to the beach nearby to catch the sea!
I hope we can dig some good stuff today. Even if it’s cat’s eye snails, it’s a good harvest if we can dig a few hundred kilograms."
He felt that he couldn’t rest a bit, especially after he got outside, he always felt that every minute and every second was money.
Especially the last time he caught the sea on the deserted island, it was also a good harvest for them.
"Okay..."
"Then let's go and have a look." Jiang Chuan wiped his mouth, then nodded with a smile.
Uncle San and A Gang were very serious about going to the sea.
Occasionally, they could dig up one or two moon shells or cat's eye snails, so they made a lot of money during this period, but adhering to the principle that mosquito legs are meat, they naturally couldn't miss these little things.
Jiang Chuan was walking slowly on the beach!
Maybe because there was a lot of balance on his bank card, he really looked down on these one or two shells and conchs.
I don't know if my heart began to swell!
Along the coastline, Jiang Chuan walked all the way to a reef area.
When the searchlight shone around a reef, Jiang Chuan suddenly found that there was a sea eel around the reef!
The back of this eel was bright green, the abdomen was yellow-white, and the body length looked about 50 to 60 centimeters.
The mouth was pointed, and it looked different from the sea eels you usually see.
"Is this... a golden eel?"
Golden eel
When Jiang Chuan saw the eel, he was instantly delighted.
The golden eel, also known as the sharp-nosed eel, is an eel that lives in the area where freshwater and saltwater meet, and is also an eel that likes to live in reef areas.
The meat of this eel is tender and firm, especially the fish skin is very gelatinous, and the number is less than that of other eels.
Therefore, the commercial value of this golden eel is also extremely high.
Because the number of golden eels here is relatively rare, the price is relatively high, and the price per catty should be around 400 yuan.
This eel, which is about 50 to 60 centimeters long, should weigh about one catty.
"Since there are golden eels in this area, there should be more than just this one.
In this case, let's use the golden liquid to make a nest. Maybe there will be unexpected gains later."
After thinking of this, Jiangchuan was not in a hurry to catch the golden eel. Instead, he dropped two drops of golden liquid into the sea water under his feet!
Almost as soon as the golden liquid entered the water, the golden eel that was still motionless just now became active instantly.
It twitched its body frantically, and its small mouth was still constantly absorbing energy from the water.
Plop...
Just then, Jiangchuan heard the sound of splashing water from all directions.
The entire water surface seemed to be boiling at this moment.
This scene reminded Jiangchuan of the scene of feeding ornamental fish in those scenic spots...
Then, golden eels of different lengths began to swim towards Jiangchuan quickly.
"Fuck... So many eels!! Is it so crazy?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Chuan couldn't help thinking of the scene in the movie Anaconda.
It was almost exactly the same as the scene in front of him.
At this time, Jiang Chuan didn't care about being too surprised, and immediately shouted to Uncle San and A Gang, "Uncle San, A Gang, come here to pick up the money!"
After that, he slowly picked up his plastic bucket, and then picked up the sea catching tongs to start catching eels.
After hearing Jiang Chuan's voice, the two of them immediately showed ecstasy on their faces.
Uncle San ran so fast that his pants were almost taken off.
A Gang was even more amazing, and he directly threw back the cat's eye snails he had picked up with great effort.
He ran with a big belly.
He was chubby and funny...
Since I said I came here to pick up money, then what I found must be much more valuable than these cat's eye snails and small shells.
So keeping these cat's eye snails will only take up spaceOnly one side.
The two ran along the beach, just like Sun Wukong who had just jumped out of the stone.
The moment he walked to Jiangchuan, Uncle San couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Eels... So many eels!!
Golden eels, and sea red eels...
So many, I'm rich, I'm rich!!!" At this time, looking at the boiling sea water and the eels in groups, Uncle San began to tremble when he spoke.
His hands were shaking with excitement. If all these eels were caught, there should be at least 300 to 400 kilograms.
The price of these wild sea eels is not low. Even the cheapest price should be 150 yuan per kilogram.
If all are caught, it will be more than 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
"Brother, it's like this, and you still say you are not the godson of Mazu?" Ah Gang stared at Jiangchuan with shining eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to see an angel's golden halo from Jiangchuan's head.
Jiang Chuan smiled unhappily, "Okay, get to work..."
The three of them immediately began to pick up eels happily.
That's right, there was no need to lock the target at this moment, just pick them up with the sea tongs.
Basically, one tong can easily catch an eel.
Sometimes, two or three eels can be caught with one tong.
The atmosphere became heated for a while...
Time passed quietly without knowing it.
A bright moon hung over the heads of the three.
Although the moon on the ninth day of the first lunar month was not too round, it was bright enough.
After two or three hours of hard work, the eels harvested by the three had filled two snakeskin bags.
After raising these eels in the live warehouse, the three of them each picked up a large bucket.
All the eels added together should weigh nearly 400 kilograms.
They are basically golden eels and sea red eels.
The prices of these two kinds of wild conger eels are quite high, especially the golden eel, which basically lives in the area where fresh and salt water meet, so the meat is more fresh, sweet and tender, and is loved by gourmets...
"Wow!! Finally there are no eels. I want to vomit when I see eels now.
This is the first time I feel that picking up money can be so hard..." A Gang slowly straightened his body.
I felt that my waist was not my own at this moment.
"Ouch!! My waist~~"
"Alas! It seems that I am really old, and I can't help but admit it.
This waist is just not as strong as you young people..."
The moment Uncle San got up, it seemed that his waist was accidentally twisted, and he bent down again in pain.
After all, when he is old, his body is indeed not as good as that of young people.
Especially just now, he worked almost bent over for three hours at the beach.
"Uncle San, are you okay? I'll help you over."
Jiang Chuan also hurried forward to support Uncle San.
At this moment, after a close observation, I found that Uncle San has really aged a lot in recent years.
The wrinkles on his face are very deep, and there are gray hairs on his temples.
The three of them came to the boat quickly.
Seeing Uncle San and A Gang rubbing their waists and beating their arms with tired faces, Jiang Chuan also had an idea.
Prepare to give Uncle San and A Gang two drops of golden liquid each!
After all, I even gave them pets, and it seems a bit too inhumane not to give them to Uncle San and A Gang, the closest people...
Of course, the better their physical fitness, the faster they will work in the future, which can improve the overall efficiency.
I just don't know if the golden liquid has any effect on other people.
After thinking of this, Jiang Chuan immediately took out the kettle and quietly added two drops of golden liquid to the kettle.
"Uncle San, A Gang, drink some water quickly to calm down.
This water was fetched from that spring when I was there. It is cool and sweet, and it quenches thirst." Jiang Chuan handed the kettle to the two of them.
"Okay..."
Uncle San took the kettle and drank it.
Then it was Agang's turn. The two took turns drinking, apparently not noticing any difference in the water in the kettle.
After just a moment, his body underwent a very strange change.
