Returning before the Lantern Festival, the happiest person is undoubtedly Liu Xiaohan. Looking at the happy appearance of the family, Xu Haibao, who returned to the family, also cherished it. For him, maybe there's not much time left.

Looking back on the experience and life since his rebirth, Xu Haibao feels that this life has really undergone earth-shaking changes from the previous life. If he hadn't cultivated the inheritance of the Nameless Pearl, maybe he wouldn't have faced this kind of life-and-death crisis at this moment.

But in the same way, if he didn't cultivate the inheritance of the Nameless Pearl, Xu Haibao would not be able to experience the magic of another world. After being a human being in two lives and experiencing two completely different lives, Xu Haibao felt that he should be content.

Back to the resort village of Washan Island, the tourist attraction of Fulin Island after the festival is still quite lively. With the designation of the waters around Fulin Island as a marine ecological reserve, the number of tourists who want to visit the island has also increased considerably.

It's just that the villagers are a little puzzled that Baoya Investment Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the management and development of the tourist area, has made the decision to limit the flow. Each time the scenic spot receives tourists, it must be guaranteed that the scenic spot can be supplied.

So much so that many tourists who want to visit here suddenly find that if they want to travel to Fulin Island, they have to buy tickets a long time in advance. As for many tourists, they plan to choose to go on their own, but find that this situation seems unlikely.

The reason is that backpackers who want to go alone must also buy a ferry ticket. If the number of people exceeds the limit, the shipping company will also apologize and say that it cannot provide tickets to Fulin Island for the time being, and tourists need to wait for notice.

But the more this happens, the more it arouses the curiosity of tourists. Although there are complaints from tourists, they spend money to travel and have to accept so many restrictions. It's just that as a protected area, Xu Haibao feels that he can't just think about money.

The real loss is not the villagers, but his investment company. Many of the leaders who agreed to make Fulin Island a marine protected area applauded the decision.

In the eyes of these leaders, Xu Haibao did not aggressively expand his tourism industry in the name of establishing a protected area. On the contrary, more money has been invested in the protection of nearby waters.

Many environmental departments who came to inspect the island have conducted relatively detailed investigations on the water quality and environment around Fulin Island. To their surprise, the ecology of the waters around Fulin Island is rapidly recovering.

Rare fish, which were rarely seen in the East China Sea in the past, have now made their home near Fulin Island. The number of lobsters and abalone living on the reefs of Shrimp Island alone is amazing to many experts engaged in marine research.

Coupled with the grouper population under the echo rock of Fulin Island, these experts feel that Fulin Island is really a treasure of feng shui. If it is properly protected, it is believed that the seafood produced in this sea area will also become valuable seafood in the future.

Only those who know Xu Haibao's identity understand this change, and it must have something to do with Xu Haibao. Even if there are occasional tourists fishing, it will not cause much harm to the surrounding fishery resources. The fish in the sea will definitely not be able to be caught just by fishing.

Rare to have leisure time, Xu Haibao also carried a fish bucket and a fishing rod, and took Liu Xiaohan, who was interested, to the top of Echo Rock in the evening to prepare for fishing. Looking at many fishing friends, Xu Haibao also felt that it was quite lively here.

From time to time, I heard a fishing friend say: "I heard that there are a lot of groupers in this place, but it is more difficult to catch." Two days ago, a guy caught a sixteen-pound grouper here, and someone offered 2,000 yuan, and that guy didn't sell it!"

"If you change me, I won't sell it! There are a lot of groupers here, but they are all thieves, and they are not easy to catch! I finally caught one, who doesn't want to try it! This kind of wild grouper is becoming more and more rare. Two thousand, not much!"

Listening to the chatter of these fishing friends, Liu Xiaohan, who accompanied Xu Haibao to fish, also smiled and said, "Is grouper so expensive?"

"Pretty much! Wild grouper can be sold for hundreds of dollars a pound. Most of the groupers that can be sold at a high price need at least four or five catties. Wild groupers that are too small still can't be sold for such a price. ”

"If that's the case, wouldn't they be able to catch a big grouper here, and they'd earn everything back?"

"Fishing is for fun, not for money! For these fishermen, they are more than happy to taste their loot. In addition, the grouper that inhabits the Echo Rock tastes better than anywhere else. ”

For Xu Haibao, the grouper nest in Echo Rock was actually caused by him. As the surrounding water quality improves, more and more groupers inhabit the area. Through spiritual power, you can even see a few giant groupers weighing hundreds of catties.

Since the opening of the fishing program, many fishing enthusiasts who are keen on sea fishing come here every day to make nests and fish. The bait they throw down every day also invisibly gives the grouper below enough nutrients.

However, most of the baits used by these anglers are ordinary baits, and it is basically impossible to lure groupers to take the bait. After all, most of the groupers living here have a lot of taste.

Finding a place with relatively little wind and waves, Xu Haibao took out his fishing tools. Some fishing friends also smiled and said, "Little brother, I don't see that you still have such leisure and leisure! This fishing rod should be homemade, right?"

"Yes, I belong to this village, and I made this fishing rod myself. Fish that are too big to hold up are estimated to be fine, but smaller ones are still fine. How's the harvest for a few guys?"

"Alas, don't mention it, the grouper thieves here are like thieves, and many times the bait is eaten clean, but the fish are gone. The little brother is from this village, so you should be a master fisherman, right?"

There are too many people who come here to fish every day, and most of the groupers below are full. It takes a bit of luck and skill to catch them. ”

"Yo ho! So, the little brother is confident that he can catch the grouper below?"

"Of course! If you don't believe it, then just watch. Who in the village doesn't know that I was fishing here two years ago and selling it in the city for money! Not to mention anything else, I can still catch groupers that I occasionally come to fish. ”

Liu Xiaohan, who stayed on the side, watched Xu Haibao chatting with these tourists, and also felt interested. For her, Xu Haibao usually feels a little cold to strangers. But today, he looks no different from ordinary people.

Even if it is an unknown fishing friend, Xu Haibao can also talk to each other. At least in Liu Xiaohan's opinion, Xu Haibao rarely puts on a stand in front of outsiders. It was also very polite to meet and greet the people in the village.

Xu Haibao, who is in his hometown, looks no different from the boy next door. But outside the base, Xu Haibao looked very majestic. At least Liu Xiaohan knows that many government officials will be very respectful when they see Xu Haibao.

"Little brother, don't brag! It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it on! Seriously, if you can catch it, you'll sell us one later." I'm here for the seafood!

According to my friend, the seafood here is particularly delicious, especially the grouper caught here, which is not sold in the market at all. Although the hotel restaurant also provides grouper, the number of them every day is not much, and the supply exceeds the demand!"

Listening to the tourist's complaints, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "This is no way! This place has been designated as a national marine ecological reserve, and the fishing boats in the village have been confiscated, and they are not allowed to fish privately."

At the inn restaurant, many of the seafood served to diners every day is purchased at high prices from outside. A lot of seafood was brought in, and most of it had just been fished out of the water. It tastes better than being frozen outside.

In order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, the restaurant has a special person who goes to the town to buy seafood in the morning and evening. The seafood was just caught by fishermen from the sea and ready to be sold at the market. Seafood, the fresher the seafood, the better it tastes!"

In fact, most of the seafood ingredients served in the restaurant of the old village inn are purchased from the fishermen in the town. The truly delicious seafood is undoubtedly sold at the resort. It's just that the price, the latter is too high.

The seafood sold in the old village hotel restaurant is at a civilian price, and the seafood sold in the resort is naturally a local tyrant price. I don't have any money in my pocket, and if I book a resort, I guess I don't dare to order a few secret seafood dishes.

While chatting, another fisherman said curiously: "Do you use live bait to fish for grouper?"

"Yes! Groupers, in fact, prefer to eat small fish and shrimp, the fresher the better! Ordinary sea fishing bait, they may not like it! These sea shrimp are also carefully selected by me, and they are the freshest to be alive!"

In the bucket he carried, Xu Haibao only contained ten shrimps, which didn't seem to have much bait, but in fact it was the best bait. Picking a shrimp and hanging it on the hook, Xu Haibao looked at it and threw it into the sea below.

Others think that Xu Haibao's fishing technique, which has no technical content at all, can't catch any fish at all. As a result, some of the slaps in the face were that not long after the bait, Xu Haibao's fish drift reacted.

Even Liu Xiaohan said happily: "Husband, the fish is drifting!"

"It's okay, I'm waiting, don't be too anxious!

It seems that he discussed and analyzed with Liu Xiaohan whether to take the bait, but in fact, Xu Haibao was selecting the grouper to catch. Previously, as soon as this shrimp fell into the water, it attracted many groupers to flock to it, and several large groupers wanted to swallow it in one bite.

The reason is very simple, these live shrimp are all caught from the nameless bead space, and the aura they contain is more abundant. This kind of superb sea shrimp, grouper naturally can't resist. But there is a side, and Xu Haibao doesn't want to be too shocking.

After choosing a grouper of about four catties and using his mental power to control other groupers not to approach, this grouper, who took the lead, was really not polite at all and swallowed the shrimp in one bite.

When the shrimp was swallowed in his mouth, Mo Fan gently lifted the fishing rod, and the grouper was immediately hooked. Looking at the suddenly taut fishing line, other anglers nearby immediately realized that this was a sign that a fish had been hooked!
