Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua came out and saw the boat full of fish. They were shocked. They were wondering how much the third brother had caught. How could he not be able to handle it? They needed help.
When I saw this, I was immediately dumbfounded!
No wonder when Ah Qing called them out just now, he just said that they would know after seeing it. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would definitely not believe it even if he told them.
Is this disturbing the sardines' nest
And there were not only sardines, there were also more than a dozen large fish, one or two meters long, piled in the corner. Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua's eyes widened even more.
There were several boats nearby that were also full of fish. Did they encounter a school of sardines in the same place
Why don't they have this luck
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were so envious that they were speechless.
Seeing them standing there in a daze, Ye's mother hurriedly called them to help, and excitedly told them how his father and the third son caught these sardines, and asked them where they went to trawl the nets and why they didn't encounter any? …
Their mouths were filled with bitterness due to their envy. They had no luck in getting rich...
There is strength in numbers. With the help of Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, things went much faster and we had less worries.
Seeing that everyone was loading fish, and he and Ye's father were still standing there motionless, Lin Xiuqing realized something was wrong, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm so exhausted that I can't lift my arms. I can only open my mouth."
She stepped forward and pinched his arm, and his face wrinkled with a grin, "It hurts, it hurts... Be gentle..."
"It's so serious. I didn't even try hard. Why are you trying so hard?"
"Don't you think it would be a pity to miss it? It's a rare sight, so if we can catch as many as possible, we will definitely catch as many as possible."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the boat full of thousands of kilograms of fish and then she realized that all of them were pulled up by manpower. She immediately felt distressed. She had been so happy before that she didn't think much about how much effort it took to pull up so many fish.
"When we're done, I'll apply tea oil on you. Rest at home for a few more days and don't go out to sea."
Ye Yaodong agreed happily.
In fact, he had to go out again at night, and he was worried because the fishing hook had not been retrieved yet.
Ah Cai couldn't stop smiling when he saw so many sardines and top-quality big fish. It was worth it that he waited until now before the shop closed.
In the past, it was hard to see any big fish at their dock, but today they appeared in large numbers. Although there were only two boats that regularly received the goods for him and the other boats were booked by other purchasing points, it was still enough for him to make a profit.
Ah Cai happily went in and out to help carry the goods, with a big smile on his face. The same thing happened at other receiving points.
People on other boats also carried goods back and forth dozens of times, with smiles on their faces that were happier than during the Chinese New Year.
The ship was full of goods, filling up dozens of plastic baskets at Acai's purchasing point and still unable to hold more. Ye Yaodong asked them to use his baskets for fishing hooks to temporarily hold the fish, but they were still full. Acai could only temporarily ask someone to send baskets over and receive the goods at the same time.
A basket weighs 50 to 60 kilograms, and is weighed continuously. After weighing, it is loaded onto a truck. Once the truck is loaded, it is taken away, and then another truck is loaded...
After the sardines are weighed, it’s the turn of the big fish, which is the highlight.
1 blue shark, 3 amberjacks, 4 bomb fish, 1 giant silk horse mackerel, 4 swordfish, 2 albacore tunas, 1 yellowfin tuna, and 1 marlin.
Acai looked at the fish, each one bigger than the other, with his eyes glowing blue, and there were also quite a few penguins!
Ye Yaodong was a little reluctant, though. It didn't matter if he collected the small fish, but with so many big fish, he would have to take in several kilograms of the fat once they passed through his hands.
However, looking at his eyes that were filled with wolfish light, if he said he didn't want to sell them, Ah Cai would probably eat him. It would be fine if he didn't see one or two and kept them for himself, but it would be too offensive if he kept so many and didn't give them to this guy.
After all, other people have received so many large quantities of goods. If he deliberately does not give them to him, he will lose face. After all, they still have to cooperate for a long time.
When Ah Cai saw Ye Yaodong standing in front of those big fishes, not allowing anyone to lift the goods for weighing, and looking at him with gloomy eyes, he finally understood.
She immediately stood on tiptoe with a smile and wanted to put her hand on his shoulder, but found that she couldn't reach it, so she smiled awkwardly and withdrew her hand.
"Brother, we have been doing business for such a long time, and you still don't trust me? I will cheat... others, but I won't cheat you... We have been friends for a long time, and I will never cheat anyone."
He also knew that it was inappropriate to say this, so he glanced left and right while saying it, lowered his voice, and then pulled him to a corner.
Ye Yaodong said calmly, "You have a criminal record," and stopped him from talking.
Regardless of whether he has this little idea or not, it’s always a good idea to knock it a few more times.
"Hey... what you said is really hurtful. I have always been fair in my business. I charge the same price as others. And because it's you, I even add an extra price to some of my products..."
"Then you'll give me a price increase for these too?"
Ah Cai's face immediately wrinkled, his mouth full of bitterness, "Damn Ye Yaodong, money is so hard to make."
"Brother, I have to make money too, right? There are so many people here today, and you are not the only one in the boat. Others are waiting in line to be weighed. If they knew that I gave you an extra charge, they would have objections..."
"It's okay. Just charge me whatever you charge others. When I come to settle the bill in two days, you can give me a little extra per kilogram of goods."
Acai: Damn, you really know how to plan!
Seeing that everyone was still waiting for him to weigh the fish, he said depressedly, "Weigh them first and tell me how much these fish cost. I'll discuss it with others later. Anyway, I won't let you suffer a loss. If you feel you have suffered a loss, come and smash my stall."
At this time, people from other purchasing points also came over. Today, a lot of big fish that were not common at their dock suddenly appeared. They needed to ask what the current market price was. After all, the prices of many fish fluctuated every day.
Then they also need to discuss how much to charge for each type of fish. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for some to charge more and some to charge less.
After getting his guarantee, Ye Yaodong reluctantly believed him. Anyway, he had to sell it to him no matter what. He just gave him a heads-up and let him make the profit slowly.
The big fish they caught, including blue sharks, tuna and marlin, all weighed over 100 kilograms. The marlin was the largest, weighing 182 kilograms. He asked why it was so hard to catch them. He thought it was because he was exhausted.
After all the goods were weighed, there were a total of 6,506 kilograms of sardines, which were purchased at 8 cents and sold for a total of 585.5 yuan.
There are 16 gannets, weighing 332 kilograms, but there is no price yet. The list of big fish only lists the weight but not the price, and they are still discussing it.
He even left two of them on purpose, planning to take them back and kill them tomorrow to make a good meal. He and his father were exhausted today.
He also kept another 300 kilograms of sardines, preparing to give 100 kilograms to his father. The fish was too cheap, so he planned to dry them and eat them slowly.
Otherwise, there would be no small fish in longline fishing, and they would have to spend money to buy and dry small fish if they wanted to eat them in the future. Fortunately, this fish is cheap, delicious, and of a good size, so they could take advantage of the north wind to dry more of it now, and give some to his father-in-law when the time comes, and send it together with the sea snake wine.
Their seaside specialties are just these dried seafood.
And I heard that eating too many sardines will make people smarter, so let his wife eat more. Maybe next year she will give birth to a child who can read, and bring honor to the family!
In fact, sardines are rich in DHA, which can improve intelligence and enhance memory, so sardines are also called "smart food."
After they had all weighed, it was A Guang and the others' turn. Ye Yaodong planned to go back to eat first. He was not afraid that he would run away. When he came back with the bill in a few days, he would ask the others and they would know how much they paid.
According to his estimation, the profit should be more than a thousand yuan, which is almost enough to recover the cost of the boat. Besides, his father is the only worker on the boat, and the fuel cost is not that high, which means it is a net profit. When the bill is settled, he can directly give a separate amount to his father without having to wait for the monthly settlement.
Lin Xiuqing happily put away the list, and said to Ye's mother with a smile as they walked away, "Dad and Mom, you can either come to our place to eat tonight. I have extra food cooked there, and it's still hot."
Mother Ye smiled and said, "No, no, Huimei should have cooked it, and we can eat it when we get back. Remember to apply tea oil to Dongzi when you get back, otherwise your arms will ache even more tomorrow, and you'll have to apply it on your back."
She smiled and nodded, "I know."
"Let big brother deliver the fish to you first?" Ye Yaodong said as he looked at the baskets of sardines on the cart.
"No, you guys push it back first. I'll go over and help kill them after dinner. Kill them all in the evening and put them out to dry while they're still fresh. You can just take some after they're dried."
He nodded and asked his mother to help kill them faster, otherwise his wife would have to do it until midnight.
As soon as he got home, Ye Yaodong planned to take a shower first. He had been saving people in the afternoon, and his clothes and pants were all wet, sticking to his body. Although he is young and barely strong, the weather is getting colder with the change of seasons, and he is prone to catching a cold. There is no need for him to suffer this.
If you catch a cold, it can easily be passed on to your wife and children.
However, he was powerless and could not lift his arms or take off his clothes.
"Ah Qing..."
Lin Xiuqing was putting away the bills in the room. When she heard him calling, she came out immediately and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Give me a bath..."
"ah?"
“I can’t lift my arms anymore.”
"Can't lift it at all?"
“I can’t lift it at all!”
Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending to tease her, she nodded, "Then you go into the house and wait. I'll pour you some hot water first."
Fortunately, the two children were playing next door. After she came in with the water, she locked the door first.
It was quite convenient to take off the pants without having to lift your hands. Ye Yaodong took off his pants as soon as he entered the room and waited there in just his shorts, waiting for Lin Xiuqing to help him unbutton his clothes one by one.
"Why are you all wet? Don't you know to be more careful? It's easy to catch a cold in this kind of weather. Drink more water later..."
Listening to her mumbling, he looked down at her fluttering eyelashes with a smile, and suddenly he felt like teasing her, so he grabbed her hand and placed it on the edge of his shorts.
"Take off your shorts too!"
Lin Xiuqing glared at him and said, "Wash your upper body first!"
"After washing the upper body, wash the lower body!"
She closed her mouth and stopped talking, then wrung out the towel and wiped his face...
Then I wrung it out again, put some soap on the towel and rubbed his neck... chest... armpits... arms...
"Hiss~Oh~gently...gently...it hurts...ah..."
"Don't shout!"
"You can even scream!"
"Shut up!"
"Ouch~ It hurts... You are so angry and you are taking revenge..."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him and stopped rubbing his arms. She told him to turn around so that she could rub his back. After turning her back to him, the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.
"Honey, your back is all red from rubbing, right? That's enough, it's time to wash your lower body..."
Even with her eyes closed, she could hear the anticipation in his tone.
By the time she took the towel and went back to the basin to scrub and wring out the water, he had already stood up impatiently, waiting for her to help him take off his pants.
"Take it off yourself."
"my hand… "
"You can take off your outer pants by yourself."
"Fine."
Ye Yaodong took off his shorts directly. He had nothing to be embarrassed about in front of his wife. Moreover, he didn't think he was any worse than others! Where was it too short
Everyone knows that men hate their own capital!
