Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Seeing that Xu Kaifa didn't answer, Tang Changping snatched the telescope from Xu Kaifa and said, "You won't tell me even if I ask you. What did you see?"

Tang Changping looked through the telescope and looked in the direction that Xu Kaifa had just looked at.

He was also stunned when he saw the purple crabs crawling onto the shore one after another, gathering together to form a crab mountain. He said excitedly, "Medicine...Medicine crabs...Stop the boat quickly."

Xu Kaifa turned around and ran towards the cabin, looking for a suitable place to park the boat.

Tang Changping handed the telescope to Liu Meilan, and then immediately notified Captain Chen on the opposite side to sail towards the island and look for a place to park the ship.

Although Captain Chen had not seen the medicine crab yet, he knew that Tang Changping would not lie, so he immediately moved closer to this side and looked for a place to park the boat.

After finding a suitable place and parking the boat, everyone rowed the small wooden boat to the island.

There are many baskets on the boat, ready to catch crabs.

After a while, the boat arrived at the island.

Although it was still a bit far away, everyone could see some small purple things crawling towards one place.

With experience, we can guess based on the crawling movements and speed that it is a crab.

Purple crabs are generally medicinal crabs.

This crab has a light medicinal smell and tastes very delicious.

Local people like to eat medicinal crabs, believing that they grow up by eating herbs and have very good nourishing effects.

"No wonder Captain Meilan wanted to go to this island. It turns out he saw the medicinal crab!" Mrs. Chen is tall and has long legs. She ran over there carrying a basket.

Seeing the delicious seafood, the crew members were excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.

I ran very fast and didn't feel tired at all.

When he got there, panting, he didn't stop to rest. He just bent over and picked up the crabs into the basket.

I'll have to wait until I put these crabs back and sort them one by one. I don't have time now.

For some unknown reason, these medicinal crabs continued to crawl out of the sea onto the island and towards the mountain of crabs, as if they were going on a pilgrimage.

Liu Meilan instructed: "Everyone come here to catch crabs, don't scare these crabs that are climbing up."

After hearing this, everyone went around to the front so as not to hinder the crabs from climbing up.

Although everyone was very curious as to why the crabs kept crawling towards each other, they kept picking up the crabs and putting them into the basket.

Liu Meilan also instructed: "Keep the crabs that are more than 300 grams, and don't pick up the small ones."

Small crabs don't taste good and have little meat.

By next year, they can grow even bigger, and they are also resources in the ocean.

After hearing Liu Meilan's instructions, those who were originally reluctant had to let go of the smaller crabs.

If it were any other captain, he would have wanted to catch them all.

Baskets of crabs were transported to the boat in an endless stream.

This work lasted for two hours, and the boatmen from the two boats caught no less than a hundred baskets of big crabs alone.

Everyone stopped until no more crabs crawled out of the sea.

At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was gradually darkening.

Everyone stood up, pounding their aching waists and looking around.

Tang Changping urged everyone to get on the boat: "It's getting dark now, don't stay on the island! No one knows if there are any dangerous animals on the island!"

Xu Kaifa smiled and said, "You guys get on the boat first, I'll go take a look outside! Usually where there are medicinal crabs, there will be some precious medicinal herbs! Except for the coordinates being similar, I didn't expect such a big change in 5 years. I have to take a look, otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable."

Tang Changping replied: "You also said that you had been to this place five years ago! Your memory is not accurate. Maybe the island you know is nearby."

Xu Kaifa nodded: "I think so too! So I want to look around. If I can find some good medicinal herbs, I can make a lot of money."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Uncle Tang, Uncle Chen, take your people on board first and sort out these crabs as soon as possible!"

"There are still a lot of oysters here, but it's dark and we can't dig them. I think we should trawle around at night and come back to dig these oysters tomorrow during the day!"

Tang Changping nodded: "Okay, these crabs are restless! They have been kept for a long time, and they fight fiercely. Some of them are missing limbs, so they don't look good and the price is not good either."

Captain Chen also nodded: "Okay, let's get on the boat first! I looked around and didn't see any big footprints. I guess there are no big beasts on the island!"

"Although there are no wild animals, some poisonous creatures like snakes, rats, insects, and ants prefer this kind of lush and humid place. Remember to roll up your trouser legs and walk around the periphery. Don't go inside."

Xu Kaifa nodded: "Okay, we get it!"

Xu Kaifa and Liu Meilan each held a sharp machete in their hands and walked towards the lush trees.

Liu Meilan followed her second uncle to collect herbs in Northeast China and got to know many medicinal herbs.

Those are all medicinal herbs grown in the north. My second uncle’s house has many books recording medicinal herbs.

When Liu Meilan had nothing to do in the evening, she would read through all those books.

I not only remembered the northern medicinal herbs, but also many southern medicinal herbs.

Although the images of medicinal herbs in those old books were in black and white, combined with the text, Liu Meilan was able to determine that there were many medicinal herbs mixed among the lush trees, flowers and plants on the island.

Liu Meilan was quite shocked: "I never thought there would be so many medicinal herbs on an island!"

People in the south like to make soup, and most of them know some medicinal ingredients, but not all of them.

"We are fishermen. Finding medicinal herbs on this island is of little use to us! After all, it takes a lot of effort to harvest or process these herbs!"

Liu Meilan blinked, smiled mysteriously, then pointed to the rotten soil under the dense trees and asked Xu Kaifa to pay attention to the purple Ganoderma lucidum.

"Uncle Xu, you don't know other herbs, but you should know this one, right?"

Xu Kaifa looked in the direction Liu Meilan pointed and was slightly stunned: "Oh my God, isn't this Ganoderma lucidum? Next to it... I also saw the shell of a crab! Do medicinal crabs really grow up eating Ganoderma lucidum?"

Liu Meilan smiled and replied, "Maybe! These tropical ganoderma like to grow on the roots of tropical legumes or on dead tree stumps. They have the effects of nourishing, calming, inducing sleep, strengthening, anti-tumor, lowering blood lipids, and can also be used to treat coronary heart disease."

Xu Kaifa blinked his eyes and was very pleased: "Meilan, we have another kind of Ganoderma lucidum here, called Ganoderma lucidum thin-capped, which grows at the base of broad-leaved trees. Last time my father-in-law was sick, I took him to see a doctor. The doctor there said that this thing is good. Although it is expensive, it can enhance resistance and immunity, and it can also fight tumors! There is also something called antioxidant, I don’t know what it means, but it is very good anyway."

Liu Meilan took a look and pointed to something not far away: "Is it the purple one?"

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Xu Kaifa nodded. "Wild ones are very expensive. It's dark now, so don't pick them yet. If the people on the boat find out and leak the coordinates, all the good stuff on this island will belong to someone else."

Liu Meilan was surprised, and then nodded: "I do trust the people on our ship, but there may not be anyone on Uncle Chen's ship who can keep a secret!"

"Yes!" Xu Kaifa nodded, his expression quite serious. "Just looking at these Ganoderma lucidum, you can tell that they are very valuable! Not to mention the other medicinal herbs. This island is so big, and it is on the high seas. Whoever picks it up or digs it up will own it."

"After we return this time, I will drive a boat alone, take the people on our fishing boat, and add some people who are good at handling Chinese medicine, and go straight here to dig for medicinal materials."

Liu Meilan nodded: "Okay! Doctor Wang in the hospital is a famous Chinese medicine expert. He has several apprentices and grandchildren who are good at handling medicinal materials! Bring them along when the time comes. As long as we make sure that the coordinates are not leaked, there will be a steady stream of income in the future."

Xu Kaifa agreed with this, but at the same time he felt a little disappointed: "Yes, that's right! I can be sure that this island is not the same one I encountered before. This island has great economic value! It would be great if this was an island in our country. We could contract it and everything on it would be ours!"

Liu Meilan was not so greedy and just wanted to keep the secret as much as possible.

The longer you keep a secret, the more benefits you can gain.

The sun set, and Liu Meilan and Xu Kaifa also came out of the woods and rowed back to the boat.

Seeing that they had all come up, Tang Changping and Captain Chen started the boat and began to drag the net.

Everyone else, except Mrs. Chen who was cooking, started sitting on small stools and concentrating on tying crabs.

These medicinal crabs are purple, plump and tender, and very large.

Although the medicine crab is relatively gentle in temperament, crabs are still crabs after all. They walk sideways, and they have many legs and are crowded together. How can they not fight?

The boatmen were wearing gloves and tying the crabs very quickly, but even though they were very quick, there were still some aggressive crabs that fought back.

How can there be no injuries in a fight?

Then there were some more crabs with missing limbs.

These crabs are of very good quality and their prices will be affected by their appearance.

Liu Meilan saved all of this and either kept it for her own consumption or distributed it to the boatmen.

Although the boatmen didn't say anything, the upturned corners of their mouths showed that they were very happy inside.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. It is a time for families to get together and of course, eat something delicious.

The ship owner was generous and willing to give these good crabs with missing limbs to them to take home instead of selling them, which touched them deeply.

As for the missing arms and legs, it just makes it a little ugly and doesn’t affect the taste at all!

Some ship owners would rather sell it cheaply than give it to the ship workers.

Although the boatmen would not have any objections, they would still feel that the shipowner was too stingy and mean.

During dinner, each person was given a large medicinal crab and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

Everyone quickly finished their meal and continued to tie crabs.

In fact, the net could have been pulled up, but because there was no space on the deck and some of the medicated crabs had not been tied up, the time for pulling up the net had to be delayed.

Finally, after half an hour, we had caught most of the crabs and were ready to pull up the net.

This night, three nets were also dragged.

Everyone takes turns to rest, sleeping for two or three hours at most, and getting up early in the morning to eat.

According to yesterday’s plan, we returned to the island and started prying oysters on the periphery.

These oysters are of a very good taste and are very large in size.

Such high-quality oysters can be sold at a good price when brought ashore.

After prying for a whole morning, the fish hold was already full.

While having lunch, prepare to return.

"Meilan, are we going to drag the net again when we go back?" Xu Kaifa asked.

Liu Meilan waved her hands quickly: "No more trawling, let's go back to the dock. I didn't expect to be able to pry open so many oysters and pick up so many scallops here."

"We can catch a lot of seafood by trawling back, but where should we put it? The weather is very hot now. If we leave it on the deck, it might stink when we get to the dock!"

Xu Kaifa smiled and said, "It would be great if it was winter. The temperature is low and we can put the fish on the deck. It will be fine."

Liu Meilan chuckled: "It's not a pity. Summer has its advantages, and winter has its advantages! Although it's hot now, it's not cold!"

When everyone heard that they would no longer be dragging the nets, they breathed a sigh of relief and could take a break.

Some boatmen found a place to lie down and sleep, while others chatted on the side, looking forward to returning to the dock and going home early.

Tang Xiaoyu had just finished lunch and was about to go back for a nap when he received a call from Xiao Han, the cashier in the office.

"Manager Tang, I don't think you'll be able to sleep at noon! President Yang and the purchasing company CEOs have already arrived at the dock!"

Tang Xiaoyu was surprised: "I have received a notice from Meilan that they are not expected to arrive at the dock until 6 to 7 in the evening. What are they doing here so early?"

Cashier Xiao Han smiled and said, "We have the best seafood on our fishing boat. Although we have already determined the distribution ratio, they are worried that their share of the seafood will be taken away by others."

Tang Xiaoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can we change what we have already agreed on? These people are really stupid! Take them to the reception room, make them some good tea, buy them a few decks of cards, some snacks, and some good cigarettes, and let them play by themselves."

I'll probably finish work at 12 o'clock in the evening.

Tang Xiaoyu doesn't have that much energy. She has to sleep for an hour or two at noon, otherwise she won't be able to hold on.

Cashier Xiao Han was stunned: "Manager Tang, this is the big boss, isn't it a bit rude of you not to come over?"

Tang Xiaoyu was quite proud: "Now they are eager to buy our seafood, not us. We are in a hurry to sell our seafood to them! There are many buyers who want to purchase our seafood!"

"Besides, we all know each other so well, there's no need to be so cautious! Since they came early, let them play by themselves. I have to go to bed!"

After hearing what Tang Xiaoyu said, Cashier Xiao Han felt confident: "Manager Tang, I understand. You should have a good rest. We will be busy tonight!"

"Yeah!" Tang Xiaoyu nodded, "You should also take some time to get some sleep, don't force yourself!"

Cashier Xiao Han found some good tea in Tang Xiaoyu's office, boiled some hot water, and brought it over.

"I'm so sorry, bosses! Our Manager Tang has some work to do after lunch, and he will probably be back in the afternoon!"

Mr. Yang smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that your manager Tang takes a nap at noon?"

When cashier Xiao Han heard this, he complained in his heart, "Since you already know this, why did you still come?"

"Actually, we can't blame our Manager Tang. After all, once the fishing boats arrive at the dock, they have to work until midnight! It's very tiring!"

Mr. Yang smiled and said, "I understand! We are free to do whatever we want, and you don't have to entertain us!"

These restaurant owners appear to be very harmonious on the surface, but they actually don't trust each other.

Just now they saw whole fish catches, not to mention all kinds of mid- to high-end seafood, the key point is that now there are not only butter crabs, but also medicine crabs.

These are all rare and good things!
