Chapter 8

Arriving at the dock, Xiaoyuan took a few seafood items out of the plastic buckets, hired a tricycle motorcycle, and went directly to the courier service.

Since it was a courier service at the seaside dock, they all provided fresh seafood services. He sent the goods to the addresses, then sent the tracking numbers to the group chat, telling the classmates who bought the seafood to pay attention to receiving them. 520 official website

Then, he went with his parents to the county government office.

At the entrance of the county government office, his sister's family was already there. His brother-in-law had brought a Wuling Hongguang, saying it was from his workplace, as he was worried about the inconvenience of traveling back and forth to look at houses.

Looking at houses was simple; there were six people in the family, plus a government official. They looked at a few places, and the one they were most satisfied with was a building not far from the supermarket where his sister worked.

There was an elementary school nearby, which would make it convenient for Niu Niu to go to school, and it would only take his sister a few minutes to get to the supermarket.

After signing the relevant documents, they quickly got the keys.

His brother-in-law insisted on taking the whole family to a hotel in the county for a meal, and Ye Yuan did not refuse, seeing how happy his brother-in-law was.

At the dinner table, his brother-in-law thanked his parents multiple times and said, "The cost of renovating the house will all be covered by me and my sister. You two don't need to worry about it. We can move in after a month."

Thus, the whole family had a happy meal.

During the meal, the little girl was the most active, making the old couple laugh non-stop.

...

In the blink of an eye, six days had passed.

During these six days, Ye Yuan went out to sea every day. Each time he brought back seafood, it amazed the old couple.

Looking at the seafood in their small seafood pond, Ye Yuan's father couldn't stop smiling.

Today was the last day, and Ye Yuan planned to go a bit further to explore.

Before dawn, Ye Yuan set out in his boat. After these few days, his parents also believed that Ye Yuan truly had some skills, praising him for being capable.

The villagers also knew that Ye Yuan had learned some extraordinary skills at school, allowing him to catch large amounts of seafood in the sea.

Some villagers approached Ye Yuan, asking where he caught the seafood. After some thought, Ye Yuan did not hide it, saying, "I learned diving at school, and I can dive deeper than them. There are still some fish in the sea."

Many people were not convinced and went diving to catch seafood. A few of them managed to catch lobsters and mantis shrimps.

This proved that Ye Yuan was not lying, but it also showed that he was truly skilled. Others could only catch a couple of them in a few days, while Ye Yuan could bring back a lot each time.

After these few days of catching, Ye Yuan's points increased rapidly. Some economically less valuable fish were all converted into points.

Host: Ye Yuan

Points: 920 points

Looking at his points, he hadn't asked the system any questions for many days, so the points had been accumulating. He didn't know what these points would be used for in the end, but for now, he would leave them as they were.

The sea area where Ye Yuan was now, few people came to.

The reason fishermen didn't like to come to this area was because of the complex terrain.

There were many reefs underwater, making it difficult to catch fish and easy to run aground.

Ye Yuan stopped the boat far from the reef cluster, entered the water, and quickly swam towards the reef cluster. He had heard from the village elders that this reef cluster produced abalones, but few people had caught them.

Abalones are one of the precious "sea delicacies," known for their delicious taste and rich nutrition, and are called the "soft gold" of the sea. Abalones are valuable marine edible mollusks, known as the "gold of the dining table, the crown of sea delicacies."

After searching the bottom of the reef cluster for a long time, he found some abalones, but they were all small. These abalones were still good, but they didn't meet Ye Yuan's standards.

Since he had promised the boss to get some good goods, he decided that if he was going to do it, he would do it to the best of his ability.

Just as Ye Yuan was about to give up, he suddenly saw a large abalone under a big rock.

Ye Yuan swam over and removed the abalone.

Actually, abalones are very difficult to catch. The reason is that abalones mostly live on deep-water rocks, which are often steep cliffs with strong currents. When the current brings food to the abalones, they must ensure they are not swept away by the current. They must use a large suction force to attach to the rocks, which requires a large suction area. The suction area is the abalone's soft foot, and it takes a lot of effort to remove it.

After obtaining the "Water Control Technique," Ye Yuan practiced it every night. He found that with the practice of the "Water Control Technique," his body had improved in many aspects. Not only his underwater abilities but also his strength had increased significantly, making it relatively easy for him to catch abalones.

Looking at the abalone in front of him, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up.

He estimated that this abalone could meet the standard of a "two-head" abalone, which was a rare thing.

The value of abalones is determined by their weight, and many people are not familiar with abalones because they have a unique unit of measurement.

Abalones are measured in "heads." The number of heads refers to the number of abalones of uniform size in one catty (about 0.6 kg) of dried abalones. For example, two abalones that weigh one catty are called "two-head" abalones, and three abalones that weigh one catty are called "three-head" abalones.

Getting a "two-head" abalone was a pleasant surprise for Ye Yuan.

Nowadays, the abalones people eat are rarely wild.

Many hotels sell farmed abalones.

A wild "two-head" abalone is basically priceless and can even be auctioned.

Ye Yuan put the abalone into the fish farm space. Now, he could use the fish farm space flexibly and no longer needed to bring the seafood back to the boat.

Since he had found a "two-head" abalone, Ye Yuan continued to search the reef cluster.

The reef cluster was large, and even with Ye Yuan's ability to see far underwater, it took a lot of time to search.

After another half hour, Ye Yuan had caught 8 "three-head" abalones, and only one "two-head" abalone.

Finally, he caught a few smaller ones to take back for his parents and sister's family to eat, then returned to the boat to rest.

He drank some water and ate the bread he brought. Looking at the time, he decided to go down to the sea one more time before heading back.

Now, at home, there were already many lobsters and mantis shrimps, plus the few abalones he had caught this time.

Ye Yuan drove the boat to another sea area, which was the deepest part of the nearby sea.

He had always wanted to come and check it out but never had the chance. Today, he would go down and see what was there. As soon as he went into the water, he saw a dozen large yellow croakers about fifty meters away.

Large yellow croakers mainly inhabit coastal and near-shore sandy and muddy bottom waters, often living in mid-bottom waters. They avoid strong light and prefer turbid water. They tend to rise to the surface at dawn, dusk, or during high tide, and sink to the bottom during the day or low tide. They mainly feed on small fish and crustaceans like shrimp and crabs. Their swim bladders can produce sounds, and during the breeding season, they make "gagging" sounds. When the fish are densely packed, the sounds are like boiling water or pine waves. During the breeding season, they gather and migrate to near-shore shallow waters near river mouths or islands.

These fish are popular due to their good taste.

In recent years, these fish have become rare. A large yellow croaker weighing over five pounds can be priced at 50,000 yuan.

The ones in front of him were smaller, weighing about one to two pounds.

However, these were still good catches and would be highly sought after in the market.

After catching these large yellow croakers, Ye Yuan had achieved his goal for the day.

Catching some economically valuable fish to exchange for points from the system, he could then go home.

Today, he aimed to get his points to 1,000. After another half hour of catching, when his points reached 1,000, the long-silent mechanical voice sounded again.

"Congratulations, host, your points have reached 1,000 points. Reward: Intern Fisherman title, 3 Spirit Opening Pills."
