Chapter 468 457. Selling Fish at the Wharf (35)

The fishing boat leaned up, and Wang Zheng used a sea rake to pull the rope under a rubber ball, then hooked it to the tractor and pulled it up.

Shrimp traps are strung together in a string, and about 20 shrimp pots can be tied to a thick cable, which are specially used to catch lobsters.

Waihai, Wang Bo’s hometown, is a famous producing area of ​​Chinese lobster. When he was a child, lobsters could be caught near the sea. Every family wanted to eat lobster. They went to sink a shrimp cage and put some chicken intestines and duck intestines in it, and fished it the next day. When the shrimp cage comes up, there are lobsters inside.

But now it’s gone, there is nothing in the sea, not to mention lobsters, even white shrimps.

The rope was put away, and a few minutes later, the first cage surfaced. Uncle Wang and Dad Bo stood at the stern and lifted the cage up together.

There are lobsters inside, only the size of two palms. Seeing this, Dad shook his head and sighed: "No, let's look at the next cage."

Harvesting shrimp pots is a very difficult task. Twenty cages are tied with a rope. Once the rope is broken, the cages that have not been caught cannot be recovered, so the risk is very high.

Fortunately, both Uncle Wang and Dad Bo were veterans, and they collected five cages without any risk, and finally found big lobsters in the fourth and fifth cages, each of which was 20 centimeters smaller and weighed one kilogram.

After catching six big lobsters, Bo Dae ordered the cage to be put down again.

After seeing it, Bo's mother smiled and said: "Baby has good food, this lobster is not small."

Wang Bo was stunned and said, "Is this considered a big lobster? I remember before, didn't a lobster weigh two kilograms to be a big one?"

Wang Zheng frowned and sighed: "That was when we were young. Can this be compared? When I was young, I remember that my uncle caught seven catties of big lobsters. Now let alone seven catties, seven taels are considered large."

Dad Bo and the others fell silent.

At night, the fishing boat finally docked at the port. As soon as the boat stopped, the fat cat brothers ran out. Their short legs moved quickly, and they jumped onto the pier along the shelf, whining excitedly there.

Wang Zheng first called the Hu brothers, the owners of the shrimp pots, and said: "My brother brought his wife back from abroad, and my brother went to your place to catch five lobsters. I will invite you brothers to drink tomorrow, and I will also prepare a box of hairtails for you. Come here." Naha."

A loud voice came out from the phone: "Grass, why are you being so polite? Is it Xiaobo who came back from abroad? He also brought his wife? If you want to eat lobster, come to my place. What are you going to do at sea? You can't find any prawns at sea now." gone."

Wang Zheng said that he would get some for drinking tomorrow, but Wang Bo shook his head and said no, these few are enough.

There is no shortage of big lobsters in New Zealand, and Australia is next door. In sea cities like Dunedin, Christchurch, one or two kilograms of lobsters only cost more than a dozen New Zealand dollars, which is absolutely cheap.

After going out to sea, and then coming back to sleep, Wang Bo fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, unlike the day before yesterday when he suffered from insomnia for a while.

When he got up early in the morning, he told Bo's mother about it, and Bo's mother smiled and said: "You are a bitch, you have to go to the sea to survive."

Wang Bo and Eva habitually take their young men to run. The entrance of the village is the beach road. Unfortunately, the sea breeze is blowing hard now. Otherwise, running along the beach would be very cool in spring and autumn.

The two stopped after running for a while. Their combination was too dazzling, and the early fishermen pointed at them after seeing it.

Many people in the village did not recognize Wang Bo because he had not been in his hometown for a long time, and Eva was a blond beauty whom the fishing village had never seen before. Stare at them like you're watching a play.

Someone recognized Wang Bo and came over and asked, "Hey, Xiao Bo? When did you come back? Is this foreign girl your girlfriend?"

People in the village didn't know Wang Bo, and likewise, he didn't know the people in the village very well. Some people looked familiar, but they didn't know their names.

In his hometown, it is not allowed to call people according to their age. People in the fishing village are very particular about seniority, and calling people wrong will make people laugh.

But you don’t have to be afraid if you bring Eva, Eva calls Big Brother and Uncle with a smile, she is not from the village, so she is not afraid of making mistakes.

Hearing someone call his name, others suddenly realized that he was actually very famous in the village. He was the only child who could buy a fishing boat for his family after going out to work for a few years. Everyone thought he was in the butcher business in a big city.

If it were a man, the rest of the villagers would be admiration.

Wang blogged a few words, and returned with Eva, the commander and the strong man.

At noon, he was chatting in the group. Dad Bo asked him to sell fish together. Wang Bo said, "Sell it directly at the pier? You might as well send it to the hotel. I think the fish we brought up are good. It's a pity to sell them at the pier." , go to the hotel to sell it and get a high price.”

Father Bo shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Don't, don't let the hotel take a fancy to it, just sell it on the pier."

When the two arrived at the pier, there were two boxes of small yellow flowers. After they moved down, a fishmonger immediately came up and asked, "Old Wang, how do you sell these little yellow flowers? Just a few?"

Bo Dae lit a cigarette and said, "Fifty yuan a catty, I want you to take it together."

The fishmonger took the cigarette and said with a smile: "You are joking, the little yellow flower is only fifty-one catties in the market, you can give me a little cheaper, twenty yuan, and I will take it all. You see, you have few fish, and the price is high." Are you suitable?"

Father Bo smiled calmly, and said: "Then you go down and have a look first, yes, I have few fish here, at worst, go to the market and sell it yourself. You said that the market is fifty-one catties, right? Chinese New Year is coming soon You tell me fifty? I am a wild little yellow flower, you know, I can't buy a hundred!"

As he spoke, he waved to Wang Bo: "Don't stand still, go to the boat and carry the pompano. When Dabao's car arrives, you can take it up."

Seeing that they were about to leave, the fishmonger was a little anxious and said, "Hey, Lao Wang, don't leave yet, let's talk about the price, or I'll give you an extra five yuan..."

"Fifty, don't bargain, you can see the quality of this little yellow flower for yourself, wild old Su, this is not the kind of yellow flower you raise, you buy it back and store it until years ago, a hundred and one catties will definitely be snapped up!"

Someone beside him laughed and said, "Old Su, do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, I'll do it. It's fifty-one catties. Lao Wang's fish is definitely worth it. It's not like you don't know how Lao Wang fishes. They are all good fish."

Old Su glared at the man, and muttered, "Paralysis, what's your business?"

Wang Bo saw that there were too many people involved, so he didn't want to sell it to him, so he said, "Dad, we will take you to the hotel later, just ordering fish, why waste your energy here?"

Everyone around could see his dissatisfaction. Old Su laughed and said, "This is your son? Old Wang, the young man has a bad temper."

Father Bo laughed and said: "Follow me, I also had a bad temper when I was young."

Lao Su grinded it with him for a while, and when he ground it to forty-five catties, he weighed it at one hundred and four catties, and sold it as one hundred catties, for 4,500 yuan.
