It was not until they had sailed several miles away that the waves became smaller and there were no more meter-high waves appearing around them. Only then did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, luckily you ran fast, I was scared to death, I thought I would die here today." Even after walking away, A Guang still felt a little sad. After all, he was just a 24-year-old young man, it was normal that he hadn't seen any storms or waves.
"That's not the case. Just run faster."
Although Ye Yaodong was a little nervous, he knew that he would not confess so easily.
"Okay, get up the net, pull up the net and then we can go back quickly. The wind and waves on the sea are getting stronger and stronger."
"Go, go, go, pull up the net, and you'll feel at ease when you reach the shore."
"Let's see if you dare to go out to sea on a typhoon day next time!"
Ah Guang looked at him with disdain, "Don't you want to go out for a walk?"
That was because he thought the typhoon would last for a few more days. According to his years of experience, if he didn't run too far, the waves wouldn't be too big, so he was safe today...
"Don't talk nonsense, this net is so heavy, come and help, it feels like it weighs about 100 or 200 kilograms?"
Ye Yaodong quickly reached out his hand, but found that he really couldn't pull it. "What is that? It's so heavy. Normally, our small boat can drag a net of hundreds of kilograms, which is already incredible."
“Push harder!”
"I'm using all my strength!"
"Whose milk are you drinking? There's a huge difference here."
"Why the fuck do you have to be so obscene? You're still talking dirty while you're online. It's true that being single for too long makes you a pervert."
"Then help your brother solve it."
"Fuck you, you still need me to help you solve it? You want to die? I'm straight and I only like my wife."
"You fucking ..."
The two men started to curse at each other, and their anger was released through physical force. It took a lot of effort to slowly pull the net up.
As soon as the goods surfaced, the two men saw the true face of the net!
"Big dragon grouper!
!”
"Big dragon grouper!
!”
They screamed in unison, and almost slipped and dropped the net down the slide again.
"Quick, quick, pull it up!"
The two of them took great pains to pull up the entire net of goods.
Looking at the huge grouper on the deck, both of them were very surprised.
The giant grouper, scientifically known as Epinephelus giganteus, also known as lamb grouper, is the largest species of grouper.
"Getting rich?!"
"No wonder the waves were so high before, it turns out there's a big one! The big brother among groupers!" Ye Yaodong patted the big guy with joy.
"This one weighs about 100 to 200 kilograms, right? We are truly a combined force!"
"We have to weigh it to know. It must be over 100 kilograms, but probably less than 200 kilograms. However, if it is over 100 kilograms, this giant grouper can be considered a treasure in the fishing net. Its value has greatly increased and it can be sold at a good price."
"Move it aside so it doesn't crush the small fish and shrimps."
The two of them worked together to lift the fish. There were quite a few fish and shrimps underneath, but in front of this huge grouper, those fish seemed a little small.
Ye Yaodong casually picked up a golden pomfret that weighed about one and a half kilograms and placed it on the head of the giant grouper. Instantly, a sharp contrast was formed. The excitement in his eyes almost overflowed, "I'm rich!"
"Damn, finally this trip was not in vain. As expected, risks come with opportunities. I made a lot of money, which is worth hundreds of dollars." A Guang wanted to pounce on her and give her a few kisses.
"And these three-knife fish look like they weigh more than 20 kilograms, which is also worth a lot of money. The big basket of swimming crabs over there is also good, and there are other fish products..."
“It’s worth it, I made a profit!”
As the two were talking, waves from the stern hit the deck again, and the wind got stronger. Ye Yaodong said with a smile on his face, "The waves are getting a bit bigger again. You sort the fish, and I'll go drive the boat and get these to the dock as soon as possible."
The best way is to cash in early!
"Okay, go ahead, I'll take care of this."
Ah Guang kept circling around the giant grouper with a smile on his face, and he was reluctant to sort out the small fish and shrimps.
None of those things are as important as this giant grouper. He still hasn’t had enough of them.
I spent several days fishing and finally caught a large quantity today. Before that, I only won by quantity.
Ye Yaodong's mouth corners were also raised. Seeing Ah Guang still smiling foolishly, he teased, "Hurry up and wipe your saliva, otherwise the giant grouper will be drowned by you."
A Guang wiped it and found there was really saliva. He rubbed it on his body and his clothes were dirty anyway.
"I'm not like you. Today is the first time I've caught a large amount of goods online."
That's true.
Although Ye Yaodong was also excited, his reaction was not as great as A Guang's!
The big sturgeon weighing more than 55 kilograms that they caught a few days ago is more valuable than this giant grouper. The big sturgeon is valuable because of its fish maw, but this giant grouper is sold at a high price solely based on its size and weight.
"When we get back, they will be envious again."
Ah Guang hesitated and said, "We risked our lives today without telling Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao. I wonder if they will feel uncomfortable after hearing about it?"
Ye Yaodong also frowned, "Not really! Who stipulated that every friend must be tied together? Do you need to ask other people for their opinions when choosing who to go out to sea with? Whether you can catch good stuff depends on luck. We got this by taking risks."
"I'm just afraid they'll think as much as Awei does."
"Not really. Ah Wei is a quiet person and has a lot on his mind. Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao are very cheerful. This is a risky thing to begin with. Staying out of it doesn't mean it's a bad thing. We're just gambling on our luck."
"Um."
A Guang was also scared by A Wei at that time. Even though they were good friends, he is still angry and doesn't want to associate with them.
Among friends, there are those who are relatively close and those who are relatively ordinary. When they want to buy a boat or go to sea, they will definitely choose to go together with the relatively close ones. Do they have to bring everyone along every time
Putting this matter aside for the time being, A Guang began to distribute the goods.
The giant grouper was too big to fit in a container, so it had to be thrown onto the deck.
On the way back, the number of ships on the sea surface gradually increased, especially near the safe harbor in their town, where there were a lot of ships queuing up on the sea waiting to enter the port.
There was a lot of cargo on their ship, so they had to unload it first. Ye Yaodong went around and drove towards their dock.
After most of the day, most of the boats at the dock had disappeared, and only a small number were still there, swaying with the strong wind and waves.
There were waves on the shore today, but the sea around the pier was calm yesterday, which means a typhoon is approaching.
After a careful search, he was relieved to find that his family's boat, Xiaoxiao's boat and A Zheng's boat were not there. He thought they must have already headed for a safe harbor.
Before the ship even docked, the few scattered people on the shore were already looking down with their eyes wide open.
"Look, what's that on that boat? What kind of fish? So big?"
The people next to her also looked in the direction she was looking and were also shocked, "Is that a giant grouper?"
The giant grouper is huge and very easy to identify!
"Fuck, someone actually went out to sea during a typhoon and caught a giant grouper?"
"Whose bastard is this? Are you trying to kill yourself? You're still trawling during a typhoon?"
After the boat docked, everyone could see clearly.
"A Guang and A Dong, two rascals?"
"I've made a fortune. I'm so lucky that I even caught a big one. The Ye family has been thriving lately. All good things have happened to them."
“I heard that a conch pearl was seen a few days ago, and a western grouper was also picked up.”
"This family's luck is unstoppable. If they sell the land with good feng shui, the family will be so prosperous."
"Why didn't we get such a good thing? That giant grouper must have weighed about 100 to 200 kilograms, right?"
…
There were not many people on the shore during the typhoon, except for a few people who were talking a lot. They gathered there, pointing at the big grouper and talking in a buzz, their faces full of envy and their words tinged with sourness.
They did not avoid suspicion and spoke louder than each other, and the content of their words was carried by the wind into the ears of the two men.
Neither of them took it seriously. After tying up and securing the boat, they took the lead in carrying the big grouper on the deck off the boat.
After reaching the shore, everyone could see more clearly.
"Oh my god, it's so big! It's more than half a person's height."
"Tsk tsk tsk ~ This giant grouper is really big. You two are going to get rich!"
"Where did you catch such a big fish? A typhoon is coming, and you still dare to go out to sea?" Everyone followed and talked.
A group of people gathered around them, making it difficult for them to walk. Ah Guang said unhappily, "They caught them at sea. Where else can they catch them? Make way."
Ah Cai also saw it at the door and rushed over, looking at the giant grouper with shining eyes, "Wow, this is so big, did you catch it?"
People from other purchasing points nearby also gathered around, "Such a big giant grouper? It's rare, sell it to me!"
"Go away, I will take their goods." Ah Cai glared and waved away the other people who were trying to grab his business. He immediately smiled and said to Ye Yaodong and Ah Guang, "Hurry up and take it to my place to be weighed."
The two men walked straight into Ah Cai's acquisition shop, intending to get to the fat guy.
"Weigh this first, there are some more goods later."
Ah Cai couldn't help but give them a thumbs up, "This weighs at least 100 to 200 kilograms. You two are really good and courageous. You can make a fortune!"
"Stop talking nonsense, weigh it quickly, how much is one pound?"
"Weigh it first, weigh it first, and then I'll help you contact the buyer."
After Acai put two 50-kg weights on the pile, he found that there were too many, so he took another one down and added a 25-kg weight, and then added 10-kg weights again and again.
A group of people were gathered around the scale, stretching their heads to look at the weight and talking.
"It's not 200 pounds. It's so big, I thought it was 200 pounds!"
"If there's not 200, there should be 180, right?"
Finally, Ah Cai saw the scale clearly and said, "190 pounds!"
The crowd was shocked. No one in their village had ever caught a 190-pound giant grouper, and no one in the town had ever caught one this big!
Ye Yaodong and A Guang grinned instantly. Wow, he actually weighs 190 pounds!
