Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

Chapter 82: Harvest of 1,000-pound sea wolf fish

Views:

Just as Ah Zheng was about to cast the net again, everyone saw sea wolf fish jumping out of the water near the isolated island in the distance, jumping continuously and hopping on the sea.

"They're over there!"

Ye Yaodong also saw it and paddled over directly, asking Ah Zheng to be ready at all times and cast the net when the opportunity arose.

There is no doubt that this network is accurate in its target and will certainly not miss.

Everyone was very excited because this was all money.

But Zheng was afraid that there were too many fish in one net and it would be difficult for them to pull them up with manpower, so he appropriately reduced the range of the scattering.

It was only the fifth time they cast the net, and nothing would be caught if they cast any more. Everyone looked at the boat full of sea wolf fish, with almost no place to land, and they were all laughing so hard that their teeth were visible.

Ye Yaodong also smiled and said, "Now your boat is safe. This boatload of sea wolf fish and several dozen kilograms of pomfret should be enough to sell."

"Ah, I'd like to buy a stake in your boat, what should I do?" A Guang squatted on the boat, looking at Ye Yaodong with hope on his face.

"Don't even think about it, it's private property!"

"Oh, how come you already have a boat? My brothers all want to go with you."

"If I didn't have this little wooden boat, how would you catch sea wolves and white pomfret today?"

Xiao Xiao said with some regret: "We did catch the sea wolf, but unfortunately there was no sea turtle."

"There are few sea turtles, and it's God's will that we can't catch any. Let's not commit such a sin. If we want to eat turtles, let A Zheng bring his hand-cast nets and let's go to the Yangping Village reservoir in a few days to try casting a few nets," Ye Yaodong suggested.

Ah Zheng's eyes lit up, "This is good, it can strengthen the kidneys and improve sexual function!"

He couldn't help but ask, "How weak are your kidneys? You don't even have a wife, right?"

"Is it not possible for me to make up for it in advance? I might get married in two months."

"Hmm? Something's going on?"

Ah Guang glared, "No way, if you get married, what should I do?"

"Fuck, what's going on with you two?"

Now Ye Yaodong and Xiaoxiao also glared.

"Get lost, how can you talk like that? You're my mistress. What can I do with you? I don't care what you do! My marriage is none of your business. When the time comes, just prepare some red envelopes and come to the wedding. And help me set off firecrackers."

Ah Zheng was speechless.

"No, I mean, you're the youngest among the group of people, and now even you're getting married, so I'm the only one who's still single, right?"

"If you want to be single, then stay single. Do you think I should get together with you?"

"Whether you agree or not, my father is counting on me to carry on the family line! Alas, when did you mention girls? Why didn't you introduce one to me at the same time?"

"My mother's relative introduced me, so I should be the first one."

Seeing that they were getting further and further away, Ye Yaodong quickly said, "Don't be so girly. There's no place to put our boat. I'm going to row back and sell these fish while they're fresh, so they don't get rotten in the hot sun."

Xiaoxiao touched the empty sack in her pocket and said, "Are we going to the island after we sell all the goods? I brought a sack with me today, but I haven't even used it yet."

Ah Guang also spoke up quickly, "My bucket of turtle eggs is still on the isolated island and I haven't brought it on board yet."

"Are you dumb?"

“Who knew we would catch so many fish in one go? We won’t be returning to the island!”

Ye Yaodong said affirmatively: "Go ahead, it's still early, it's only the middle of the morning, and today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, don't waste the opportunity to go fishing."

"Then row quickly."

"It doesn't hurt to talk while standing, but rowing will also make you tired, okay?"

"I'll rub it for you later. I'll rub whatever you tell me to do." A Guang said while deliberately blinking at him.

He felt a chill, thinking that being single for too long would turn him into a pervert. He simply turned around and pretended not to see it!

It was only the morning, but the sunlight was already very dazzling, reflecting on the sea level, making the waves sparkle. Ye Yaodong was filled with energy.

Today was also the first day of his official trial run of the boat, and he got off to an auspicious start. Even if four people share it, they should be able to get a lot of money.

It was low tide at the moment, and there were no boats on the shore. Only their boat was small, so they could barely dock not far away. However, they needed to go into the water and walk a distance. Otherwise, if they got too close, they would be stranded when the tide receded. They could forget about going to the isolated island today.

After the boat docked, Ye Yaodong watched on the boat while the others went to get baskets to load the fish. He estimated that the weight of these sea wolf fish was at least 800 kilograms, if not 1,000 kilograms. There were also pomfret, but they were all covered tightly by the sea wolves and could not be seen.

At this moment, apart from the people fishing for sea bream on the beach, there were not many people on the shore. They didn't find much when they carried the sea wolf fish down in baskets.

Ah Cai's eyes were filled with laughter. "Where did you catch so many sea wolf fish? I haven't seen this kind of fish for a long time. I didn't expect to see it today."

"Hurry up and help carry it. There's also pomfret, which weighs several dozen kilograms."

"Youhe, where did you guys go to play today? You actually got so much stuff again. You never go out to sea empty-handed?"

"That's right, go and help, move everything down first."

Acai, with his big belly, also went to help happily.

These sea wolf fish are all big, each one is more than one meter long and estimated to weigh more than 20 kilograms. Ah Cai's mouth is so big that it is crooked with smiles.

"As usual, let's talk about the price per pound first."

"Hey, you are so many, how dare I kill you? Here's the price: 45 cents per pound for sea wolf, 40 cents for pomfret over 6 taels, and 25 cents for less than 6 taels."

Ye Yaodong nodded in satisfaction. This time he was sensible and didn't give him a false warning. "Okay, help me lift it up and weigh it."

Ah Guang also poured out the sea wolf fish from his sack and said, "Put it in there and weigh it together. This one won't make a difference."

Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder, "Good brother!"

"Oh~ Isn't it all thanks to you? Let's just count them together."

"Let's weigh them together. This basket weighs 101 jin..."

"This basket weighs 96 kilograms..."

"Let me add them up. These sea wolf fish total 1010 jin 6 liang, the big pomfret 40 jin 3 liang, the small ones 28 jin 6 liang, and this small basket of miscellaneous fish, shrimps and crabs. You can weigh them after you have sorted them out."

The weight of the sea wolves exceeded their expectations, but the number of pomfret was less than expected.

"We're not selling these miscellaneous fish, shrimps, and crabs. Leave them here with you first. We'll come get them later."

"Hmm? You guys are still going out to sea?"

"Well, it's rare that today is the fifteenth. You should count the money and write the receipt."

Ah Guang reminded him, "I'll go to your house tomorrow to get the money for the fish, remember to prepare it."

You can only feel at ease when the money is in your own pocket!

"Got it. The total for Sea Wolf is 454.77 yuan, and the total for Pomfret is 23.27 yuan, so the total is 478.04 yuan."

The four of them were confused by his calculations and looked at each other uncertainly, "Is that right?"

Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and said, "It should be correct. Take the delivery note back and let my wife calculate it."

It is really inconvenient without a calculator. How can an illiterate person who hasn’t even finished second grade calculate

I can't even use an abacus!

He could barely write his own name.

Ah Cai patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, there will be no mistakes. There are so many of you, I was afraid you would overturn my table."

"That's good."

Ye Yaodong raised his hand and said, "Let's go, thank you very much...ah, wait, don't tell others that we caught so many sea wolf fish again!"

"Why?"

“Keep a low profile!”

I just replaced the foundation and got a boat for free, shouldn’t I be low-key

"Okay. I understand."
