The fishmonger said, "Young man, although these sea cucumbers are very rare, 1.5 yuan per jin is indeed a high price. Look at you, you haven't been here long and you've already caught two, which are almost more than a jin."

"You made 1.5 yuan in one go."

"Others have been digging here all afternoon, and they've dug up so many sea bean sprouts, but they still can't earn as much as you have."

Niu Bayi shook his head and said, "These sea cucumbers are much better than sea bean sprouts. If you don't set a higher price, I'll take them directly to the town or county and see if anyone will buy them."

"Anyway, sea cucumbers are quite resilient."

The fishmonger gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I'll buy it from you for 2 yuan a pound, that's the most I can offer."

Niu Bayi laughed heartily.

"Okay, deal! I'll sell you all the sea cucumbers once I've gotten enough of them."

Then, he took the sea cucumber from the fishmonger and put it back in his basket.

The fishmonger nodded and turned to look around.

"Hey everyone, you wouldn't believe it, there are sea cucumbers under the Kunlong Beach besides sea bean sprouts. You guys should dig around too. If you find any sea cucumbers, I'll buy them for 2 yuan a pound, just like I said before."

Sea cucumbers are extremely rare in the South China Sea; if you manage to get them to the county, you'll never have trouble selling them.

If it were brought to the city, even more wealthy people would be scrambling to get it.

They love to try something new! Something rare! And delicious!

Originally, a group of fishermen were planning to call it a day after they had dug up not many sea bean sprouts, but now they are busy again and rushing towards Kunlong Beach.

They looked at the mud pit they had dug earlier, touched it again and again, and even imitated Niu Bayi by pressing their palms into the depths of the mud pit and massaging it in circles while muttering incantations.

He looked a bit crazy, which made He Zhenzhen cover her mouth in amusement, and Niu Bayi also found it funny.

Then, He Zhenzhen stomped her foot.

"Damn it, Bayi! Now everyone knows there are sea cucumbers in Kunlongtan. They're all our competitors. We might have been able to dig up a hundred catties of sea cucumbers."

"Maybe she'll only have a pitiful twenty or thirty pounds left, or even less!"

Looking at the vast army of sea cucumber diggers, He Zhenzhen wished she could close her eyes and then open them again—

All of these people disappeared!

Niu Bayi laughed it off, not taking it to heart.

"It's alright. It's their skill that they were able to catch him, but the greatest skill is still mine."

Next, Niu Bayi unleashed his power.

First, find a large pit where sea cucumbers are definitely hiding, then place your palm in it and shake it up and down repeatedly.

Streams of spatial seawater surged in frantically. In the unseen depths of the earth, countless sea cucumbers were drawn by the spatial seawater and kept drilling towards this side.

The ability of these sea cucumbers to burrow into the mud is far superior to that of sandworms and the like.

When he sensed many sea cucumbers gathering under his palm, Niu Bayi didn't hold back.

Instead of sticking his hands in to grab them, he straightened up, picked up a specially made iron shovel, and said to He Zhenzhen next to him, "Zhenzhen, watch out, when I turn over the soil, a lot of sea cucumbers will jump out, grab them right away."

"Don't be afraid, sea cucumbers don't bite."

He Zhenzhen has gone from being scared at the beginning to being excited now.

She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Bayi, these sea cucumbers must be pretty hard to catch. Do you think you can just dig up several with one scoop, like turning over sea bean sprouts?"

Niu Ba nodded, spotted a spot, and plunged the shovel deep into the ground before pressing it down further.

The rectangular iron plate above the shovel is firmly pressed against the mud surface.

Next, they pried the burrow head out of the ground.

Instantly, mud flew everywhere, and several sea cucumbers jumped and twisted.

The smaller ones are about the thickness of an adult man's thumb.

The larger ones are as thick as a child's wrist.

As for the giant sea cucumber king, they are extremely rare and hard to come by.

Upon seeing this, He Zhenzhen exclaimed excitedly, "My God, Niu Bayi, you're amazing!"

She rushed over, ignoring the mud and water splashing everywhere.

Grab one with your left hand and one with your right, just like picking up fruit that has fallen from the tree.

Then, with quick eyes and hands, he stuffed it into the basket.

Niu Bayi spotted a spot, shoveled down again, and then pried it up with a sudden burst of speed.

Several more sea cucumbers then appeared.

It even flies into the air and then falls back down with a thud.

This scene was truly amazing and delightful, filling people with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Meanwhile, the fishermen around them, imitating Niu Bayi, pressed their palms into the depths of the mud pit and shook them aimlessly, then plunged their hands in, digging them in very deep, but could only grasp the bottom layer of silt.

They caught nothing else.

People kept pulling their hands out, looking at their empty hands covered in mud, and sighing.

Some fishermen are smarter; after shaking their hands for a while, they immediately pick up a specially made shovel and dig down hard.

If you're lucky, you might actually find one or two sea cucumbers deep in the water.

But that's far too little.

Suddenly, some people noticed what was happening on Niu Bayi's side and exclaimed in surprise:

"Look at that young man, he's amazing! It's terrifying! With just one shovelful of his, several sea cucumbers popped out!"

"What's going on? We've been digging and digging so hard, and we haven't seen a single sea cucumber, but he just casually dug up so many!"

"Comparing people is fucking infuriating! I can't stand it anymore, I want to cry!"

"Holy crap, could it be that the young man's area is a sea cucumber nest, while ours isn't? Let's hurry and dig around there!"

……

Then, these people picked up shovels and rushed around Niu Bayi, digging frantically.

But with each shovelful, all that came out was dirt, nothing else.

At most, there are some useless small seashells and snails.

It's even more impossible to dig for sea cucumbers around Niu Bayi than to dig in more distant places.

After all, the surrounding sea cucumbers had all been drawn over by Niu Bayi using his spatial seawater.

Niu Bayi didn't mind; he let them dig around as they pleased, as long as they didn't try to steal his money.

These fishermen are aware of some of the industry's unwritten rules.

Even though Niu Ba's shovel brought out many sea cucumbers that were jumping around, they didn't pick them up.

What others dig up, belongs to them.

Everyone understands this simple principle.

This simple-mindedness is still present in everyone.

Niu Bayi attracted all the sea cucumbers in this area, and after digging them all up, he found another place where sea cucumbers gathered.

Continue excavation.

Time passed slowly, and the number of sea cucumbers in the basket kept increasing.

Two hours later, the tide began to rise.

Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen's large baskets were also filled with sea cucumbers, and they could barely carry them.

It was a great struggle to carry them to the shore.

The fishmonger rushed over eagerly, his eyes shining like a little sun as he looked at the two baskets full of sea cucumbers.

He nodded repeatedly.

"Great! Great! There are so many sea cucumbers! Wow, we're rich! We're going to be rich!"

After thinking about it, he realized something was wrong and immediately changed his mind.

"No, I mean you've made a fortune."

Niu Bayi chuckled and said, "Boss, don't explain so much. Explaining is just covering up. Anyway, you said before that you bought it for 2 yuan a pound. I accept that. Does that still stand?"
