After arriving at the Wanggou Village, Qi Jin discovered that the village was cold and even the door to Yang Xian's house was locked.

They had no choice but to drive to the shrimp circle s' side. The scene here was completely the opposite of the deserted village.

It could be described as a sea of people.

The workers that Yang Xian had hired were cleaning the sea cucumbers and abalone fish inside the shrimp circle.

There were at least four or five hundred people in the group. There were big and small trucks parked far away on the shore. The drivers gathered in groups of twos and threes to smoke and chat.

Yang Lihu brought more than twenty students to transport drinks, food and other materials into the small house. That place was where the workers who guarded the shrimp circle lived before, but now, it was filled with all kinds of food.

Wang Bai gestured around with a group of hoodlums as if they were evil spirits. From time to time, some of the hoodlums would give a few kicks to the workers and angrily curse them non-stop.

There was only one word to describe the situation: "Chaos."

It was only then that Qi Jin found out why Yang Xian did not go to the airport to pick him up.

The shrimp circle s needed to be cleaned one by one, with the huge net surrounding the entrance layer by layer. The most powerful water pumping machine was continuously pumping the water out of the shrimp circle, causing the shrimp circle s to boil up. Sea cucumbers, abalone, and other Cephalotaxus s that never appeared before to rise up high into the air.

For the past two years of breeding, nearly 200 million yuan had been invested into it. Now, the only thing that could be seen was the harvest of the past few days. People's eyes were all red with greed as they thought to themselves, "I've struck it rich!"

Not only did Yang Xian's family get rich, everyone present got rich as well.

Cephalotaxus is a type of wild fish in the shallow sea area. They were born in the past and died next year, so they only have one year to live.

This kind of fish was very savage, it could eat anything it saw, even sand.

When spring infused the sea water of shrimp circle, the sea water's fish seed mixed with the shrimp circle.

During the first year of raising sea cucumber seedlings, they had to clean up the Cephalotaxus in order to prevent these ferocious fish from eating the sea cucumber seedlings.

Yang Xian's shrimp circle had to survive in a warm room during the winter. After the second year, the sea cucumber seedlings had grown up and were no longer afraid of the Cephalotaxus.

Cephalotaxus s can grow to a length of one foot a year. Legend has it that the Cephalotaxus s boasted: "Every year grows one foot, every ten years grow one Zhang. In a hundred years, they catch up to the Old Dragon King."

The Dragon King became furious when he heard that. He ordered the Cephalotaxus to have a year of lifespan so as to not affect the Dragon King's position.

This legend suited the character of the Cephalotaxus. The most active shrimp circle was the wild Cephalotaxus, it rushed around randomly and chased the sea cucumber until it hid and hid.

The workers in underpants stood in the water, which was waist-deep, and with a bend, carried the sea cucumber and Cephalotaxus, which were filled to the brim with a sieve of sea cucumbers, to another person. Then, using the method of hands-on transmission, the sieve weighed about thirty to forty kilograms.

On the shore, someone swiftly poured the sieve into an iron trough that was about a foot high. They hired a worker to separate the sea cucumber and Cephalotaxus's hand-picked method, and most importantly, the sea cucumber.

Fresh sea cucumbers cost about four to five hundred yuan per catty, and each sea cucumber cost more than half a catty.

Some people say that the two-headed sea cucumber is not only two-headed, but rather that the weight of two sea cucumbers is one Jin. This is the origin of the two sea cucumbers, and the bigger the sea cucumber, the higher the price.

The nutritional value of the sea cucumber was slightly lower. The price of wild sea cucumber in the market varied from 3,000 to 10,000 yuan depending on the origin of the sea cucumber. This kind of sea cucumber was a delicacy, but also a tonic.

Yang Xian stood next to the sieve, and there were two scales on her left and right. The sea cucumber in each sieve had to be weighed and loaded onto the truck, and then dragged to a cold storage three kilometers away to be processed.

This was a job of seizing time. After wasting too much time, the dead sea cucumber would turn bad and become worthless.

Furthermore, after weighing them all, the number of points they had gained this year could be described as numbers.

This job cannot be left to anyone else.

Yang Changjiu was at the cold storage room, and every time he brought in a carriage full of sea cucumbers, he would have to weigh them. If someone drove a carriage and ran away with the sea cucumbers halfway, that would be Yang Xian's loss.

The hoodlums Wang Bai brought over didn't do anything else, they only stared at every single one of them. When they realized that someone had hidden the sea cucumber under their clothes and their crotch, they immediately went up to beat the person who stole the things.

Even so, it couldn't completely stop the people who were blinded by greed. Someone had committed a crime and used all means to steal sea cucumbers, because stealing a bigger sea cucumber would sell for several hundred dollars, which was more than what they could earn by working.

A sea cucumber can be taken away in a pocket.

It was such a chaotic scene. Those who pushed and shoved and cursed were already considered very civilized.

Seeing Qi Jin, Yang Xian was ecstatic and shouted: "Help me watch out for the thief, if you discover them, you will be killed immediately. Fuck, I have raised them painstakingly, they are here to take advantage of me, this is impossible."

The normally gentle Yang Xian was anxious, being robbed was the same as stealing money from her pocket.

Yang Xian who was familiar with the locals knew very well that everyone was stealing. This wind could not stop, and the only thing she could do was to minimize the losses.

In the face of wealth, human nature was a ridiculous term. There was no human nature here, only money, only a bunch of money.

When Qi Jin saw a hoodlum slap a woman fiercely on the mouth while the woman was covered in blood, and the hoodlum's foot kicked the woman's stomach and chest, Qi Jin could not bear to watch anymore and walked over and said: "Forget it, just chase her away."

Seeing that the lady looked a little familiar, Qi Jin thought for a moment and called out: "Xie Li?"

The woman who was beaten up because of stealing was Yang Xian's classmate, Xie Li.

"Mr. Qi."

Xie Li had a helpless look on her face.

Her face, which had once been radiant, had become a bag of bones, and it was gray, as if she had contracted a serious illness.

Qi Jin took out a stack of bills and handed it over to Xie Li, and said: "Don't steal anything, see how ruthless they are, to be able to beat you to death."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi."

Xie Li grabbed the bill tightly and walked away without even turning her head back.

Seeing that Qi Jin and Xie Li were acquainted, the hoodlum said in a low voice: "Mr. Qi, she is a drug addict and a drug addict, you don't have to pity such a person."

"Is that so?"

Qi Jin was surprised for a moment, and felt pain in his heart. He did not expect Xie Li to become like this, and it had already been completely destroyed.

Later, when Wang Rongbin was caught, he was sentenced to ten years in prison for being involved in drug trafficking and died from a serious illness.

In the evening, the temporary workers finished their day's work.

Assistant Jiang Xiaoyue was holding onto a box of bills. Yang Xian personally gave three to five bills to the workers.

The hoodlums' hands groped the workers, and those who found the thieves pulled them out of the crowd and smashed them with sticks. The thieves' heads were instantly covered with blood, and they rolled on the ground screaming incessantly.

One of Yang Xian's cousins and a female classmate searched for female workers and found those who stole from them. They were confiscated on the spot.

Qi Jin discovered that women stole even more things. It could be seen that in front of wealth, women did not have the heart to be ashamed.

When the hoodlums were about to leave, Qi Jin's fluoroscopic eye found out that these people's carriage was actually filled with a lot of sea cucumbers, and they were even carrying them with a sieve. If a sieve was thirty kilograms, then this sieve would cost ten thousand yuan.

The largest cart had five sieves, the smallest had two sieve sea cucumbers.

This was not stealing, but daylight robbery.

Qi Jin was furious and went forward to block the lackey's path. He then opened the cabin door and took out a sea cucumber sieve.

Just in time, Zhang Huashan arrived at the shrimp circle.

Zhang Huashan had a reason for rushing here. He knew that the lackeys would need his big brother to suppress them, and the lackeys would need to control the ordinary people.

Only Big Bro can deal with this hoodlum.

Zhang Huashan saw that the lackeys were stealing sea cucumbers, and his face was full of water. Zhang Huashan held onto a ball bat and smashed it onto the lackey fiercely, causing his face to be immediately dyed red with blood.

Then, Zhang Huashan shouted loudly, "Beat him, this is the result of keeping watch and stealing from him."

The lackeys who were following behind Zhang Huashan could be said to have nothing to worry about, they carried their long prepared baseball bats and smashed them down without caring about their heads or faces. The sounds of begging and miserable screams were mixed in the mix, and these lackeys even had sea cucumbers falling out from their clothes.

Yang Xian watched helplessly. She had the urge to cry, usually when she invested a large amount of money into the game and was wholeheartedly trying to manage the shrimp circle, no one cared about her expenditure. Now that it was the harvest time, there were a lot of people stealing, so other than her family members, everyone wanted to steal from her.

Qi Jin could not watch any longer, he went up and said: "wannabe, forget it, they did not bring the things out anyway, just a lesson will do."

Only then did Zhang Huashan wave his hand and said: "Alright, for the sake of Brother A Jin, you guys have taken advantage of me today. Remember, work hard for the next few days, I'll treat you guys to dinner."

As if they had been granted amnesty, the bullies fled with their arms around the head.

Today, Yang Xian had only cleaned up one shrimp circle. With ten of them, it would take at least ten days to clean up.

If it rained, it would take even more time.

At night, the entire shrimp circle area was under martial law, preventing people from entering and exiting. This mission was given to Qi Jin to do, if anyone wanted to steal a sea cucumber and fish it out with a net, it would be like stealing a few sea cucumbers.

Yang Changjiu watched closely from the side.

Everywhere Yang Xian went, she would be protected by the four men that Zhang Huashan sent. These people all had guns on them.

To China, which had strict firearms management, anyone who dared to bring a gun with them was a fugitive.

This was to prevent others from robbing Yang Xian. In society, there were many people who were worried about being poor, and even the banks would dare to rob Yang Xian, let alone a woman like Yang Xian.

On this day, Yang Xian's shrimp circle had harvested more than sixty thousand kilograms of sea cucumbers, while the Cephalotaxus had harvested more than thirty thousand kilograms.

Cephalotaxus s were not worth much, they were sold directly from shrimp circle s, only 3 yuan per catty, which was sent to the market, where it could be sold for 5 yuan, 6 yuan per catty.

This amount of money was only enough to pay Yang Xian her daily wages.

This kind of chaotic scene repeated itself every day, all the way until the ten shrimp circle were completely cleaned up. Furthermore, it was not only Yang Xian's shrimp circle that was in a mess, all of the shrimp circle were also in a mess.

Yang Xian's losses were unavoidable.

Yang Xian's cold storage took in a lot of seafood, and these seafood took up a lot of space. In the end, the sea cucumbers and abalone in the shrimp circle were no longer able to enter into the storage.

She was so anxious that her whole family was about to jump into the sea.

Sea cucumbers and abalone can't be processed in the freezer. Once they stink, it will be a huge loss. Compared to the things that were stolen, this side's losses were the greatest.

Later on, it was Zhang Huashan who used their relationship to find two cold storage houses and entrusted the Sea Ginseng and Abalone to the other cold storage rooms to store them.

This was an inexperienced management loophole. In the summer, the workers in the cold storage had nothing to do, collecting seafood so that people could work and reap benefits.

He did not expect that this year's shrimp circle harvest would be so bountiful, there were too many goods.
