Chapter 111 Semi-automatic Fishing Net
In the afternoon, A-Wu returned with the money he had won from horse racing.
"Really won?"
He only bet HK$1,000, but Ah Wu brought back HK$26,000.
26 times!
"Yes!"
Awu explained the information he had learned: "Number 7, Duobao, is a descendant of the previous King of Horses. Compared with the other sons of the King of Horses, his performance in previous training was mediocre. Not many people had high expectations for him, so the odds were relatively high."
His practice was unremarkable, but he made a name for himself in the competition.
Shu Ran was pleasantly surprised; she had just placed a random bet and hadn't expected to actually win.
The day after the letter was delivered, someone found an excuse to visit.
They were taken directly to the annex building, leaving the group ample space to discuss and exchange ideas.
It wasn't the young man selling tickets who arrived, but a middle-aged man with slightly balding hair and a somewhat plump figure.
It had absolutely nothing in common with what Shu Ran had imagined.
Huang Defa took off his hat and bowed slightly to Shu Ran: "I'm sorry to bother you. I'll need Comrade Shu's help with the arrangements later."
"It's a small matter, have you already decided?"
Shu Ran, who had been squatting by the door playing with Xiao Song, stood up.
"Yes, I'll go back and make the arrangements now. The guards will explain the details to you."
Huang Defa left Repulse Bay carrying his empty suitcase.
Shu Ran patted the white dog hair that had gotten on her body, turned around and went into the annex building.
"Comrade Shu!"
Upon seeing Shu Ran enter, Wei Jing'an stood up; a small box was placed on the coffee table.
"Okay, please sit down."
Shu Ran walked to the sofa opposite Wei Jing'an and sat down, with a coffee table between them.
"We'll have to trouble you again. We plan to leave in three days from tonight. Is that convenient for you?"
Time was tight. After disembarking, people would be arranged to meet them on the mainland, which would be another challenge. Thinking of the spies inside, Wei Jing'an felt uneasy.
Recalling the shipping company's arrangements she had seen the day before yesterday, Shu Ran nodded in agreement: "Okay, the timing is fine. How many people are going back? Where will we stop?"
Wei Jing'an was delighted: "Ten people, is Shenzhen possible?"
Shu Ran agreed, since it was on her way. "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. You two should take good care of your injuries these next few days."
"Thank you very much, Comrade Shu! This is the fare that our people in the port city prepared."
They ate and drank for free, but were too embarrassed to mention it was for accommodation and transportation...
Wei Jing'an subconsciously felt that the other party would definitely not accept it if he said that.
Seeing the insistence on the expression of the person opposite her, Shu Ran thought for a moment and did not refuse.
Shu Ran was well aware of Hong's style and didn't want to waste time arguing with him.
"Okay, then I'll accept it."
The following was a detailed discussion of specifics, which lasted for another half hour. Shu Ran then left the annex with the box.
Back in her study, Shu Ran opened the wooden box.
It is a yellowish seal with a warm and delicate texture and fine carving. It seems to be the work of Ding Dajia from the Qing Dynasty, the founder of the "Zhejiang School".
The inscription reads: "The true meaning lies within."
The value was neither high nor low, and Shu Ran accepted it without feeling any burden.
Store it in the drawer.
Shu Ran left the study and glanced at Yun Xi's weapon-refining room, which was still locked.
Yunxi went into seclusion early this morning after telling Shuran.
I had already decided what materials to use to repair the fishing net, and went in after breakfast. It's been more than four hours, and I still haven't come out.
Shu Ran didn't disturb them and went downstairs to have lunch.
I arranged for Shu Lichan to come over this afternoon to adjust the shipping company's schedule.
There are also issues such as the personnel arrangements for this ship.
"...Medical personnel must be deployed, as some of the people boarding the ship are injured..."
"Understood, Master!"
Hearing the noise from the door, Shu Ran had just finished giving her instructions.
“You can deduct the activity funds from your account yourself. The safety of these ten people is the top priority for this voyage, and I have approved all the applications.”
Having granted Shu Lichan considerable authority, Shu Ran waved for her to leave.
Hearing someone in the study, Yunxi waited at the door with a fishing net.
When Shu Lichan came out, she nodded and went straight inside.
"Ranran, I've fixed it!"
Yunxi enjoys weapon crafting; compared to the swordsmanship he's practiced since childhood, weapon crafting is practically his comfort zone.
Later, in order to seek revenge, his budding interest in weapon crafting was abruptly suppressed, and he frantically cultivated and practiced swordsmanship to improve his lethality.
"So fast? I want to see!"
Shu Ran saw a perfectly intact fishing net, a far cry from its initial tattered state.
It looks brand new, as if it had never been damaged.
"Besides the materials I initially planned, I added space stones, and I also added some fish bait..."
Yunxi enthusiastically introduced the product to Shuran, looking at Shuran expectantly, somewhat eager to try it out.
I understood immediately. I glanced at the time; it was almost four o'clock. The timing was perfect.
Shu Ran took Yun Xi's hand and led them into the scene.
"Let's go in and give it a try!"
The scene was calm and peaceful, perfect for testing fishing nets and small boats.
He took out a small boat model and threw it onto the sea; it instantly grew larger.
A small boat was steadily moored on the shore, quietly waiting for the two to board.
"Let's take a closer look. This area seems a bit shallow and not suitable for casting a net."
Shu Ran used her mental energy to probe the seabed, which was less than ten meters deep, making it difficult to cast a net.
"it is good!"
Yunxi steered the boat further in, and when she felt it was about right, she stopped.
Where the sea meets the sky, the dividing line is blurred. Shu Ran stands at the stern of the boat and casts her fishing net.
There's no need to scatter bait separately anymore. Yunxi added a lot of it during the refining process, so the fishing nets now have a natural, fragrant, and fishy smell that attracts seafood.
In his hand is a rope for hauling in fishing nets. After it's been refined, pulling down this rope will allow you to haul in the net and the catch inside.
It has a somewhat semi-automatic feel to it.
After waiting a short while, Shu Ran pulled the rope.
The fishing net automatically retracted and came ashore, stopping mid-air on the deck. It swayed left and right in a human-like manner before collapsing with a thud.
The catch from the fishing nets covered the entire small boat.
The small boat, anchored on the sea, showed no signs of shaking, remaining as stable as if it were on land.
"It's so easy to use! It saves so much effort and trouble!"
Shu Ran looked at the harvest on the small boat and sighed.
Turning to look at Yunxi, her eyes bright, she praised, "Yunxi, you've cultivated so well!"
Yunxi smiled, her eyes crinkling with joy, but she ruthlessly dealt with the haul that filled the small boat.
Only inanimate objects can be placed in the space; seafood must be processed before it can be put in.
"I simply made some modifications to the original design."
Shu Ran and Yun Xi looked at each other with smiles on their faces, neither of them looking away first.
At this moment, there was an extraordinary harmony.
Beautiful scenery and delicious, unprocessed food.
The sun is red overhead, and the sea and sky meet in a blue expanse behind us.
On the boat, lovers gaze into each other's eyes.
