By the golden autumn of October, the morning sea breeze was especially cool, chilling her to the point of shivering, thinking that she needed to find a way to make money, or else how would she get through this winter?
The feeling beca more pronounced when she stood on the rocks because her fingers had frozen stiff.
Goodness, it’s only October, and it’s already this cold. In previous years, she hadn’t felt this on the island, had she?
"That’s because you knew to layer up on the island, wearing whatever you wanted. Now that you’re on soone else’s turf, you can’t be as carefree, can you?"
Liang Tian’s voice made Xiao Yu sigh, but the excitent of awaiting the harvest lessened the biting cold when she pulled up the first fish cage. To her delight, it contained crabs of various sizes, seven or eight of them. She placed the larger ones into the bucket she had brought while choosing to release the smaller ones.
Reaching further back, huh, was there even a sea eel?
Ever since leaving Naless Island, she had not seen a sea eel. This one was quite plump too, ha-ha, she could have a feast for lunch—grilled eel was on the nu now.
The first fish cage’s final catch was four big crabs and one sea eel. This ti, all the crabs were male, two of which had mated before, and were very plump.
She then turned to look for where she placed the second fish cage. The bait she put in the cages last night was mixed with spring water from her space, Crab Sauce, and Shrimp Sauce, in addition to modern fish feed, so the sll was very strong. This was the bait she used on Naless Island, and it always yielded a good catch.
As expected, as soon as she started pulling up the second cage, she felt a promising heaviness—a sign of a bountiful catch!
As she pulled up further, this feeling beca more real, and when she finally got it to the surface, she saw a large grouper at first glance.
And beneath the grouper was a——
Oh, heavens, she actually caught a big octopus, wow haha, an octopus!
Upon seeing the octopus, Xiao Yu automatically transford it into various delicacies in her mind—octopus balls, grilled octopus, octopus sashimi, and so on.
Such a huge catch made the usually vegetarian Xiao Yu very excited. However, the harvest didn’t end there.
Because inside the third fish cage were two sea bass, a blue shark, and a sea bass, all lively and kicking. But since she already had enough food in the first two cages, she didn’t plan to bring this cage ho. Instead, she added so bait to it, deciding to farm them until the family finished the current supply before fetching them.
The fourth fish cage was disappointing, containing only a few large crabs.
The fifth cage held two more sea eels and two yellow croakers, also quite nice. Similarly, she fed them bait and started farming these too.
Of course, she also replenished the bait in the first two cages, anticipating even greater future hauls.
Having made a catch, she walked ho almost floating. Her swaggering manner made it obvious to anyone she passed that she had a good haul. On her way back to the village, she t nurous fishern who still rembered the Purple Star Grass she had brought back a few days prior. They greeted her from a distance but did not engage much further.
Xiao Yu didn’t mind and hurried ho instead, eager to share the good news with Yaya and Grandma.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she called out, "Yaya, Yaya co out and see what I’ve caught!"
Yaya was in the house helping Grandma wash her face and hands after just having used the bathroom, so there was still a bit of odor in the house. Hearing the call, she responded, turned to open the windows and doors for ventilation, and then rushed out, startled by the large octopus in the wooden bucket.
"Sister, you’re so amazing, catching an octopus on your first try. Did you use an octopus cage to catch it?"
