At this time, everyone looked at Ou Shaotian. He was the only one who hadn't paid the tax yet. Could he get 500 catties of fish by himself?
"Xiaotian, how many do you have?"
Yun Hai asked.
If he couldn't, he could only use the spiritual stones saved in the village to make up for the missing fish.
Leveled spiritual fish couldn't be traded with sea coins. They needed spiritual stones or leveled pearls.
"Don't worry, Village Leader. I still have 500 catties of leveled spiritual fish. I'll make up for it!"
With that, Ou Shaotian entered the fish cabin and caught the level-one spiritual fish one by one. Soon, he got 500 catties of fish.
"That's impossible!"
Ge Wanjin said in disbelief.
How could such a good situation be ruined by a little brat?
How could it be possible?
"Captain Ge, nothing is impossible. We've collected enough taxes. Since you're in a hurry, I won't keep you any longer."
Yun Hai, however, revealed a smile.
Seeing Ge Wanjin's shocked and ugly expression, he felt as if he had drunk a cold drink on a hot summer day, and his whole body felt refreshed.
Ou Shaotian really gave him a lot of face!
"You're lucky this time. I hope you can collect enough next month!"
Ge Wanjin said with a gloomy face.
Then he ordered the boat to set sail and left gloomily.
"Oh yeah, we won. These bad guys are finally gone. Hooray!"
Someone couldn't help cheering.
"Okay, everyone is tired. Let's go back!"
Yun Hai said.
After a busy morning, they finally collected enough fish tax. He planned to let everyone go back first.
With Yun Hai's order, all the fishing boats began to return. The patrol team also followed them back and didn't stay in the fishery for the time being.
After returning to the village, Yun Hai summoned the leaders of Baiyun Village and the fishing masters for a meeting in the neighborhood committee.
Although the fish tax was settled this time, what about next month?
What about next time?
After everyone was present, Village Leader Yun Hai began to speak.
"Everyone should know what happened. The people of Flower Village bribed Ge Wanjin from the Fish Tax Department of Green Wood Town and wanted to seize our fishery.
This time, we were lucky enough to complete the mission, and it was all thanks to Shaotian. What about the next time?
So let's discuss what we should do! "
The elders of the village, Ou Shaotian, and the rest of the younger generation made up a total of more than twenty people in the meeting room.
Many people were at a loss!
What should he do?
"Ten thousand Level 1 Fish Tax every month. Coupled with the constant harassment from Flower Village, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to complete the mission!"
Elder Zhang took the lead and said.
"Flower Village is riding on the coattails of the Ge family. With the support of the Ge family, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to win. If we really can't, we can only give up on the fishery."
Old man Ma also spoke out.
He opened a small shop in the village. He usually looked very stingy, but in fact, he contributed a lot to the village.
"Back then, we paid a huge price to get the management right of the fishery. I really don't want to give it up just like that!"
Old Liu also spoke out.
"How about this? I'll make a trip to Green Wood Town tomorrow and use my connections there. You guys should focus on fishing first. Change the patrol team too. In the future, you'll fish while patrolling."
Yun Hai pondered for a moment and said aloud.
After paying the fish tax this time, they had another month's time. They had to make full use of this one month's time.
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Everyone responded in unison.
After the meeting, everyone started to move.
It was already two o 'clock in the afternoon and there were still a few hours before the sky turned dark. Everyone started to prepare.
Ou Shaotian and the rest were no exception.
Most of them went to the bamboo forest to prepare bait and the like.
Everyone started to get busy.
"Shao Tien, let's go prepare the bait together!"
After leaving the village committee, Yun Duo said aloud.
"Yes, let's go together!"
While Ou Shaotian spoke, he also looked at Zhang Pengpeng and Xu Haibo.
"Okay!"
The two of them also nodded.
Then, the few of them followed the large group and walked towards the green bamboo forest.
A few minutes later, everyone arrived at the bamboo forest.
Ou Shaotian turned to look at the few of them and said, "Duo and I will catch the green bugs. The two of you can dig for the earthworms. Is that okay?"
"No problem!"
The three of them nodded in unison.
Then, the group split into two groups and started to move.
Ou Shaotian's heart skipped a beat and he immediately activated the radar scan. It was clear to him where there were the most green bugs. He directly led Yun Duo to the place with the most bugs.
"Follow me!"
Ou Shaotian led Yun Duo into action. He took out a plastic box and placed the green bugs they caught into it.
In less than ten minutes, he had caught almost a box.
Yun Duo was slower but she also caught half a box. Compared to the others, she was many times faster.
"Shao Tien, why do I feel that you're so good at everything? You're catching bugs so fast too?"
Yun Duo could not help but exclaim.
"Don't flatter me. Hurry up and catch them!"
Ou Shaotian did not stop moving. He had already started to catch the second box.
"Alright, I'll speed up too. I can't be too far behind you!"
Yun Duo 'er nodded and also became serious. She carefully looked through the bamboo leaves one by one and caught the green bugs on them.
After an hour, Ou Shaotian had already caught six boxes of green bugs. Yun Duo had also caught three boxes.
An average person might not be able to catch so many in a day.
They could be considered experts at catching bugs.
"Let's go. This should be enough. Let's go find Zhang Pengpeng and the rest!"
Ou Shaotian called out and ended the catching of the green bugs.
"Okay!"
Yun Duo nodded. Then, the two of them went to find Zhang Pengpeng and the rest.
At this time, Zhang Pengpeng and Yun Duo had only dug three boxes of earthworms. This speed was obviously not very good. The quantity did not meet Ou Shaotian's requirements.
"Duo and I have a total of nine boxes of green bugs. You guys have only dug three boxes. It's not enough. Let's dig together for a while more!"
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
"Oh my god, you guys are too fast!"
Zhang Pengpeng and Xu Haibo were stunned again.
Then, Ou Shaotian and Yun Duo joined the team to dig for earthworms. They dug another box, one box for each of them.
After taking a box of earthworms, Ou Shaotian gave each of them two boxes of green bugs. He still had two boxes left, which was enough for him.
"Go back and have a good rest. We'll start early tomorrow!"
After preparing the bait, Ou Shaotian bid farewell to them. After a busy day, it was almost time to go back and rest.
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Yun Duo and the rest also nodded.
Then, the few of them separated and went back to their homes.
It was almost five o 'clock. After a busy day, Ou Shaotian was also very hungry. He went back home and started cooking.
While cooking, he also processed the spirit fish in the fish cabin.
The live ones were placed in the fish pond in the yard. The dead ones were eaten by Little Gold, and the rest were left in the freezer to keep fresh.
