A reborn woman abducts her husband: after emptying his pockets, she marries a military officer.

Chapter 98 Golden Fox

Qin Yingxue had eaten a lot of seafood in her previous life, including sea bass, but what was a golden turtle sea bass?

A nicer-sounding name?

However, the reactions of the people on the ship seemed unusual.

Qin Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, and she asked Zhang San beside her, "What is a golden turtle perch?"

Zhang San answered methodically, "The Australian giant sea bass is a very rare species, first discovered by humans in Australian waters. This fish is known for its excellent escape ability, as its extremely fast swimming speed presents a challenge for fishing. Australian giant sea bass have always been highly sought after by fish enthusiasts. They like to hide under rocks and feed on live prey such as devil shrimp. Once they leave their shelter, their vibrant stripes and rich colors make them one of the most dazzling and colorful fish in any aquarium. Currently, the price of an Australian giant sea bass on the market can reach as high as $5000 (approximately RMB 1,000)."

"One pound or one fish?" Qin Yingxue had never seen a golden turtle perch before and didn't know what the fish looked like.

“One.” Zhang San glanced at Qin Yingxue and then answered.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Yingxue was annoyed and glared at him fiercely. "Drive away right now, and you catch me a golden turtle bass too."

"Yes." Zhang San received the order and sailed away.

Meanwhile, on the fishing boat, several wealthy people who had come with Boss Hai for sightseeing heard that someone had caught a rare golden sea bass, so they all came out of the cabin and went straight to the first floor.

"Young man, name your price. I'll take this golden sea bass." A middle-aged man with a potbelly said, cigar in mouth, his eyes shining as he looked at the lively golden sea bass in the bucket that was trying to escape.

“Mr. Wu, don’t you understand the principle of first come, first served? I reserved this fish while it was still in the net, and I’m just waiting for the young boss to name his price,” another lean man said with a shrewd look on his face.

Boss Hai stepped out from the crowd and was surprised to see that Bai Haijian had actually caught a golden turtle sea bass.

Looking around at the crowd, apart from the two people who had just been fighting over it, everyone else had their eyes shining and looked eager to buy, knowing that Baihai Jianfa was ready to go today.

So he smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Since everyone likes the golden turtle sea bass, I'll make the decision for Haijian: the highest bidder wins, how about it, Haijian?"

The last question was asked of Bai Haijian by Boss Hai.

"Uncle Hai..." Bai Haijian's face flushed red, and he showed an embarrassed expression. He bowed deeply to Bai Haijian, "I know you mean well and want to take care of me, but I want to give this fish to my aunt."

"Auntie?" Mr. Hai was a little surprised that his good intentions had been rejected.

“Aunt Song,” Bai Haijian added.

Boss Hai instantly understood. He couldn't help but recall that yesterday, Battalion Commander Song's wife accompanied Bai Haijian to his shop to buy fishing nets. Moreover, he had overheard fishermen talking about how Battalion Commander Song had taken Haijian to the doctor when he was sick and had his wife take care of him...

Thinking this through, Boss Hai smiled approvingly: "It's good that Hai Jian knows how to be grateful. But golden turtles and sea bass can fetch a high price; if you want to express your gratitude, you can use lobsters and yellow croakers..."

“It’s different. You can buy lobsters and yellow croakers with money, but you have to rely on luck to catch a golden turtle and a sea bass. I might only catch one in my lifetime, and I want to give it to my aunt.” Bai Haijian interrupted Boss Hai, his face serious.

Boss Hai was speechless after Bai Haijian's words, and could only sigh in the end: "Alright! But you're lucky today, you might catch another one. Let's make it clear, I've given you face this time, but if you catch another one, you have to do me a favor and give some of my friends a break."

Bai Haijian instinctively wanted to refute, but seeing Boss Hai's serious expression and everyone on the boat looking at him, Bai Haijian swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and simply responded softly.

He never forgot that the first money he earned came from a business owner named Zhang, whom his aunt knew, who took his goods; he would never forget that kindness.

He wanted to sell all the seafood he caught to Boss Zhang, but judging from today's situation...

Bai Haijian secretly resolved to go out to sea more often, earn more money, and own his own fishing boat as soon as possible.

At the same time, he secretly prayed that no more golden bass would be caught; he would rather not make money than do anything that would let down his aunt and Zhang San...

But today, Bai Haijian seemed to have a cheat code. Not only did he catch another golden turtle bass, but he also caught a golden fox, which is even rarer than the golden turtle bass and, of course, more expensive.

The two men who had initially made an offer almost came to blows over the golden fox, but luckily Boss Hai was there to mediate, and the two men exchanged a cold snort.

A golden sea bass sold for two hundred yuan, while a golden fox was offered for three hundred yuan.

The two fish sold for 500 yuan, which is a year's income for an average fisherman.

Although fishermen earn more than ordinary people, their lives are still at risk. No one can guarantee that they will return safely from the sea. The dangers at sea are too great. Fishermen can be said to be risking their lives to earn money.

After that, it seemed that Bai Haijian's good fortune had run out, and he only caught very common seafood that could be found everywhere, but he still managed to catch a lot of fish.

Everyone was extremely envious and crowded around Bai Haijian, joining him in casting and hauling in the nets...

After leaving, Qin Yingxue naturally didn't know what was happening with Bai Haijian. She squinted her eyes, ate chilled fruit, and basked in the sun with her legs crossed.

Zhang San dutifully steered the yacht to the deep sea, stopped it, and began casting his nets to fish.

Qin Yingxue bought gillnets, seine nets, and trawl nets from the mall. The three complemented each other and worked together to double the effect.

Qin Yingxue didn't participate at all; she just watched from the sidelines while sunbathing. Zhang San was the only one who worked hard and dutifully fishing the whole time.

The first catch was brought ashore, and Qin Yingxue quickly got up from the deck chair, even taking off her glasses.

"Wow, what a great haul!" Qin Yingxue beamed with joy as she saw the net teeming with all sorts of lively fish.

Zhang San scooped all the fish into a large plastic bucket and continued casting his net to catch them.

Qin Yingxue walked to the plastic bucket with great interest. It was quite impressive; the bucket was completely full.

They came in all shapes and sizes and colors, but Qin Yingxue couldn't tell them apart and was too lazy to sort them, so she sold them directly to the mall.

Soon, a new category appeared in the online store:

180 catties of sea bream, 60 yuan per catty, totaling [amount missing].

230 catties of pomfret, 30 yuan per catty, totaling 6900 yuan.

80 jin of small yellow croaker, 20 yuan per jin, totaling 1600 yuan.

60 jin of swimming crabs, 50 yuan per jin, totaling 3000 yuan.

Total: Yuan

In less than half an hour, he earned more than 20,000 yuan from a single netting.

Qin Yingxue's eyes lit up, even without a large quantity of high-quality goods.

Seeing that Zhang San was about to pull the fish out of the net again, Qin Yingxue quickly went to help.
