The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 154 - 119: Going to the Sea, Fishing! (Please Subscribe)_2

Team Leader Zheng directly placed a reward certificate and a cash award into their hands.

The thick stack of cash felt substantial in their grasp.

Guessing... there were probably about a hundred thousand yuan in there.

Although this amount of money was nothing much for Fang Hao and Xiao Pang.

Fang Hao had over two million on him, and Xiao Pang had a considerable sum due to compensation from a previous land requisition by his family.

Both were not short on cash, so they didn't care whether it was a lot or little.

What they cared about was that this was a reward given by the state, an honor bestowed by the country.

The certificate also bore the national seal.

This was the real honor.

This was recognition from the nation.

Fang Hao wanted to keep the certificate, and neither had any objections.

Therefore, Fang Hao planned to compensate them with money, giving forty thousand to each, while he himself took twenty thousand.

Initially, they somewhat disagreed because before this, they felt that it was Fang Hao who hooked up the catch, and they didn't contribute much effort, so they didn't want the money.

So they thought getting over thirty thousand themselves was already quite unexpected.

However, Fang Hao insisted, forcibly stuffing forty thousand into their hands and not allowing them to refuse.

This is how the rewards were distributed.

Fang Hao got twenty thousand plus a certificate, while the other two received a cash award of forty thousand each.

"Alright then." Persuaded by Fang Hao, they reluctantly agreed.

"We thank the state for the reward, and if we ever hook something similar in the future, we will surely turn it in."

Xiao Pang said excitedly.

Getting a reward from the state made him genuinely happy.

"Good, I look forward to you catching such things again next time."

Zheng Xin'an thought it unlikely; there's no way one can catch such things every day while fishing.

Catching it once is already an incredible stroke of luck.

But he didn't dampen Xiao Pang and their enthusiasm, and simply smiled slightly.

However, he overlooked the information regarding Fang Hao.

Or rather, he didn't think of Fang Hao at the moment.

Fang Hao was someone who didn't play by the rules.

The more you think it's unlikely to catch something, the more likely it is that he will.

He just happens to be able to hook anything besides fish.

After receiving the rewards, the trio didn't linger and prepared to head to the bank.

They needed to take care of the money first and foremost, at least to deposit it in the bank.

They did not have the habit of carrying cash with them.

After depositing the money, Xiao Pang was still very excited, "I never thought that the thing we turned in would be worth so much, that we could get a hundred thousand yuan in reward. Initially, I thought it would only be five hundred yuan."

Five hundred yuan plus a certificate, that's what Xiao Pang initially thought.

But unexpectedly, this time the reward was so substantial.

A full hundred thousand yuan.

That was hard to imagine.

"So you can imagine how valuable the thing we turned in must be," Old Ye couldn't help but remark.

"Then, do we count as having done a good deed?" Xiao Pang was curious to ask at that moment.

"Definitely." Fang Hao nodded.

"Heh heh."

Now Xiao Pang was even more delighted.

Doing a good deed; that was something to be proud of for generations.

He planned to go back and speak of these matters with his family.

"Fang bro, how about making a photocopy of the certificate for each of us?"

"Let's go."

Fang Hao immediately led them to photocopy the certificate, then gave each person a copy to keep.

As a memento.

Everything was settled.

The group then returned to the hotel to rest.

They planned to properly rest for the next few days and play around near West Sea City.

After staying in the hotel for half a day, everyone got a bit restless.

"How about we go tide chasing?"

Old Ye suggested the idea of tide chasing.

"This I like." Xiao Pang immediately agreed.

"I have no objections."

Fang Hao also agreed to the proposal.

The three decided to go tide chasing together.

Xiao Pang and Fang Hao had never tide chased before and found the activity quite novel.

Before that, they had only watched others live-stream tide chasing on the internet.

But tide chasing required finding a spot away from the crowds.

They needed to find a place suitable for the activity.

"Let's find one ourselves."

The trio also prepared to drive and look for places suitable for foraging by the sea.

Those crowded beaches, or the coasts with lots of people, there's no point in going there. There wouldn't be anything to pick up.

"Let's go, first let's go buy some foraging tools, and then bring a small fishing rod,"

Who knows, maybe we can even fish by the seaside.

Not going out to sea to fish doesn't mean not fishing at all.

They could still fish by the seaside.

Foraging and fishing at the same time also seems like a pretty good activity.

Everyone first went to buy the foraging equipment, which meant buying three buckets, pliers, gloves, and stuff like that.

Then they also brought along fishing rods.

After getting their stuff, they casually asked a few locals where it was good to forage by the sea.

After getting information about two to three places, Fang Hao drove off.

After all, the locals knew best where the suitable foraging spots were.

That's definitely better than finding a spot randomly.

With the tools in hand, the group headed towards the first location, Silver Beach.

The reason it's called Silver Beach is because there are lots of little rocks by the seashore, clusters of pebbles on the shore, where many marine creatures hide underneath as the tide comes in.

These rocks scattered about, under the sun, glitter some light, looking just like pieces of silver.

So the locals call this place Silver Beach.

Following the hints, the group found Silver Beach.

Hey, it's really not bad here, there aren't many people.

Not like the previous beach, where it was horrifyingly crowded.

Fang Hao parked the car first, then took the foraging tools out of the car.

Everyone was ready to start their own sea foraging process.

Each person with a tool in hand, when they arrived at the beach, began looking for sea treasures.

At this time.

Fang Hao's Mechanical Eye came into effect.

His eyesight is much clearer than before, so it became even harder for marine creatures hiding under the rocks to escape his gaze.

Soon, he found two big seashells.

Becoming the first among the trio to find something.

This gave Fang Hao confidence.

Hey, even though I didn't catch any fish, foraging by the sea is still doable.

With the advantage of his eyesight, Fang Hao was faster at finding things.

Starfish, sea urchins, Cat's Eye Snails, razor clams, and also two crabs.

There weren't many other things.

These creatures weren't common at all.

Even with the advantage of his eyesight, he only found these few.

Like Lao Ye and Xiao Pang, they found even less, just a few clams and starfish.

Lao Ye was a bit luckier, he even found a crab and a big octopus.

This unexpectedly matched what Xiao Pang wanted to eat, the octopus.

Xiao Pang here found even less, with no real haul to speak of, his bucket was still empty, with just a tiny bit inside.

This made them resentfully rant about those who live stream foraging by the sea, where there's no way you can find so many things and just a few steps away there's a crab.

It's a trap.

Those live stream foraging videos, surely a lot of them are fakes.

After foraging for some time, Fang Hao also realized it wasn't easy to find things.

Perhaps it's easier to find something right after the tide goes out.

Suddenly, the interest in foraging diminished quite a bit.

They simply thought, why not go fishing instead.

Anyway, they came prepared with fishing rods, all ready to go.

"I'm going to fish."

So Fang Hao decided to change locations to try fishing.

"Okay, you go ahead, Hao-bro, we'll forage a bit longer."

Xiao Pang and Lao Ye, not content with their small finds, intended to forage for a while longer.

"Call me if you need anything, I'll go to another place to fish."

Silver Beach wasn't really suitable for fishing since it was shallow, and not much fish could be caught.

Fang Hao decided to go to the next place, driving there directly.

Later, he would come back to pick them up after they were done foraging.

It wasn't too far away anyway.

When he got to the new place, seeing the large rocks, it was good for fishing.

And there weren't any waves, with also someone else fishing nearby.

Seems like it's not bad for fishing.

Fang Hao then got ready to fish here.

After getting out the fishing gear, Fang Hao also started a live stream on the side.

Before, while foraging, there was no spare hand to hold the phone, so there was no live stream.

Now fishing is different, just staying in one place, as long as the phone is set up, he could live stream.
