"How can the big fighting pomfret be compared with this big swallow pomfret? It's much smaller in size, and it has this layer of gelatin. It tastes better than grouper."
As Ye Yaodong spoke, he looked at the belly of the big pomfret.
The most distinctive feature of the big swallow pomfret is the thick circle of collagen on the back and mid-abdomen, which is like jelly growing on the fish's body!
The composition structure of fish collagen is closest to that of human body. It is the collagen that is most easily recognized and absorbed by body tissues and has the highest absorption rate.
Among the people watching on the side, some knew the value of the product, some did not, and some were skeptical.
"real or fake?"
"How did you know?"
"I know. Our team caught it a few years ago. The chef, Fatty, said it tasted better than grouper and was smoother and more tender."
"Damn, all the good food has been eaten by the cook first..."
"Adong knows a lot! Your friend Fatty told him, right?" Pei's father said with a smile.
Ah Cai continued to complain, "If you don't know, you would think he has eaten it all, and he knows it so clearly."
"Tsk, you better weigh it quickly. If you say another word, I'll tell Uncle Pei not to sell it and take it home to me!"
"Fuck!" Ah Cai's eyes widened, "How despicable!"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him and stretched out his hand as if to snatch the big pomfret from his hand, but Ah Cai freed up one hand and slapped his palm heavily.
"Go away, what do you have to do with this? Go away and don't get in the way here."
Then he quickly put the fish on the scale, weighed it at 3.6 jin, and put it separately into his own basket.
"Wow, it's over three pounds. Usually a big pomfret weighing one or two pounds is considered big. How many dollars can this one sell for?"
"Haha, 1.8 yuan per pound, this one is 6.5 yuan, this fish is no worse than grouper."
Hearing this, everyone started pointing at the fish again, sighing, "Most people can't afford to eat this fish."
"It's not meant for ordinary people to eat. It's not a big deal for rich people to spend a month's salary on one meal."
“Comparison makes one feel dreadful.”
"I was born into a bad family..."
Haozi and his wife were heartbroken and could only watch helplessly.
"At least I can get more than 3 yuan, so I made money..."
“Could have made more…”
Ye Yaodong happened to hear the two people's whispering, but pretended not to hear it. He felt that Uncle Pei would not just hide his secrets for the first time. People are greedy and will never stop trying to swallow an elephant. Sooner or later, he would have to take back Uncle Pei's boat.
After the fish were weighed and the bill was settled, Pei's father asked Ah Cai to help take the eight or nine baskets of fish that were to be kept back for drying on the scale before any boats came in, and to write down the weight and the price of the day. All the fish caught were divided.
In the previous times, Pei's father gave them the miscellaneous fish directly, just as a way of taking care of A Guang's friends. If he wanted fish, he would have it. But today he would not give him any!
He asked Ye Yaodong to help him load two large baskets of various miscellaneous fish and unwanted shrimps and crabs onto the cart.
This made Mouse's wife very anxious.
"Uncle, aren't these small fish given to us?"
"Who said that? We agreed that when the boat comes back, I will take all the goods and sell them for the money. We will split the money equally. Of course, the miscellaneous fish should also belong to me. I gave them to you before because I thought they were useless. Now that I have a use for them, of course I can't give them to you."
The couple hesitated to speak.
"Uncle, we also want to take advantage of the good weather to dry them a little more. Just consider it as our own money and you can deduct it from the money we share, okay? There aren't many of them. You can take back what you catch tomorrow." The mouse's wife said with a flattering smile.
"No, no," Pei's father waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm going to ask someone to kill and dry them tonight. You guys took a lot of them in the past few days, how come you still don't have enough to dry?"
Mouse's wife laughed awkwardly, "My family is big, so I want to show more. Otherwise, there are so many brothers, and each person may not be able to get enough..."
"I can't give you all of them. I want some too. If you still want some, just fill up the basket."
"What's the use of a basket?"
"Forget it if it's useless. You've taken a lot in the past period of time." Father Pei said unhappily.
He kindly asked them to fill a basket, but they complained that it was too little and said it was useless. If it was useless, then forget it. He turned around and looked at Ye Yaodong again.
"Adong, help me watch over the remaining baskets of fish. I'll come over later to get them."
"Okay, you go first, I'll watch over here."
Ye Yaodong looked at the anxious and somewhat unwilling couple standing by and wondered, it was just a few baskets of miscellaneous fish, why were they doing this? It was not like they had not been given it before.
"If you still want some fish, you can see who has a Korean net or ground trap later and ask them to buy it. Just give them some money as you like."
Anyway, he doesn't specifically collect miscellaneous fish. He only collects a few dried fish from those who have agreed in advance. He accepts all kinds of dried fish, and miscellaneous dried fish is just a bonus.
It is very easy to buy some miscellaneous fish. Anyway, they just told Uncle Pei to calculate the money and deduct it.
Mouse's wife didn't appreciate it, and said in a bad tone: "Can it be the same? No money?"
"Why is it different? He's not your son. Why are you still showing affection for him after all this time?"
Since he was being so rude, he wouldn't be rude either.
“Poof~”
People who passed by and heard Ye Yaodong's loud voice almost died of laughter.
The mouse's wife stomped her feet in anger and walked away with her hips twisted.
Haozi also had a sad look on his face. He smiled awkwardly, and followed him back without saying anything.
"What a weird thing!" Ye Yaodong muttered as he looked at their backs.
"You have such a sharp tongue!" Ah Caigang was also watching with great interest. He didn't expect it to end so soon.
"This is called being eloquent. You speak kindly to people and swear at ghosts!"
"Hahaha, damn, you're swearing! You're amazing, you always say things in a set way."
"If you saw a ghost in the middle of the night, wouldn't you curse first? Fuck! Fuck! How about cursing like that?"
"That makes sense!" Ah Cai agreed deeply.
The two men made peace with each other because of a few words and started chatting. There was no trace of dislike for each other just now.
Ye Yaodong also reached into his pocket and took out a handful of melon seeds to eat.
Seeing him grab such a big handful, Ah Cai said distressedly: "Eat so much, be careful you won't be able to defecate."
"Do you think I am as shameless as you? I only take in but never leave."
"Then give it back to me and don't eat it."
"Do you know how Pi Xiu died?"
"ah?"
"It only goes in but not out. You're suffocating to death by your own shit!"
Ah Cai: “…”
"I will obey you if you talk nonsense!"
"Tsk~ I call this chatting, what do you know? Move a stool over and sit for a while. It's so uncomfortable to just stand. Don't make yourself too tired and thin."
Ah Cai silently turned around and went back to his own dormitory to move a stool, but after taking just two steps, he turned his head back.
"You can't move it yourself, why are you asking me?"
"Stop talking so much, go quickly, walking will help you stay healthy and live longer!"
Ah Cai almost laughed out of anger. He had already said everything, what else could he say
