Chapter 820 More than 30 Kilograms of Large Yellow Croaker

They are the ones who talk about getting up early and staying late.

Fishermen are much more tired than farmers. Farmers work at sunrise and rest at sunset, while fishermen work under the stars and the moon, going out at night and returning at night.

By the time the two boats reached the shore, the stars were almost out.

The same goes for other people's boats. As long as the wind is sunny and the cargo is plentiful, everyone is greedy for money. If the fishing net is dragged in the sea for a while longer, the harvest will be more.

Anyway, when I go home, I have a meal, a shower and then sleep. If I go back early, it will be the same time, and if I go back, it will be the same time.

It's just that when they docked today, the atmosphere at the dock was a little different.

Although there were many people on the pier every evening, with fishermen coming and going ashore to unload their cargo, the atmosphere was obviously different today. It felt very lively. He could clearly feel it as soon as he docked.

"What's wrong? What happened at the dock today? Everyone seems very excited?" Ye Yaodong said while tying the rope. When the tide is high, the fishing boat can dock directly on the shore.

Father Ye also stretched his head to watch, and he could clearly feel the excitement on everyone's faces, "I don't know, there must be something good going on. We'll find out if we go down and take a look."

The father and son first moved a basket of goods down, and then they heard everyone on the shore talking about getting rich and so on. From time to time they mentioned Aguang, big yellow croaker and so on...

They were all a little confused. Could it be that Aguang's boat caught a large yellow croaker?

"Uncle, what are you talking about that makes you so excited? Did Aguang catch a net of large yellow croakers?"

"Ouch, I didn't catch a net, I picked one up. You just came back, right? But you didn't see that the old Pei and his son lifted a 32-pound large yellow croaker from their fishing boat. This shocked everyone. My eyes almost fell to the ground.”

"Ah?!" Ye Yaodong's eyes widened after hearing this, and he was shocked.

"You heard it right, it's 32 pounds of large yellow croaker. Holding it in your hands is almost like holding a piglet. It's so big. I've never seen such a big yellow croaker in my life."

"Really?"

At most, he has seen large yellow croakers weighing more than 10 kilograms, but he has never seen one weighing more than 30 kilograms. Is it really that big? Is it too rare?

Father Ye was also excited, "Did you really catch a large yellow croaker weighing more than 30 kilograms?"

"Of course it's true. How can it be false? That fish is still in Ah Cai's little hut. Everyone who comes ashore must go over and lift the cloth to take a look."

"Did Ah Cai take it? What's the starting price for such a big one?" Ye Yaodong was very suspicious. It should be temporarily stored there and asked him to help find a buyer.

"No, I'm waiting for him to call people over to see the fish. I don't know who will buy it or how much it will sell for. Everyone is reluctant to leave for fear of missing out."

"I asked why there are so many people around here."

"You can't bear to leave. Are you waiting there to see how much it can sell for? You guys should go and see Boss Ichijo. It's good to open your eyes."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father and said impatiently: "Let's take a look first and unload the goods later."

"Let's go and take a look first. I haven't seen such a big fish before. Let's take a look first. Those who are not in a hurry to move."

In the small room, Ah Cai was driving away the people who had been coming in to join in the fun. His face was full of impatience, "We'll see it later, we'll see it later, and we'll see it when the boss comes. This big yellow croaker is flipping around, and it's not exposed to the light." No good. Everyone who hears about it comes and takes a look, so there’s no need to cover it with a cloth."

Aguang was also driving people away inside, "Go, go, wait a little later. We'll see when people come. It's too late."

Ye Yaodong squeezed into the crowd and said quickly, "I can't watch either!"

"Ah? Yes, yes, of course you can. Haha, you don't know how I picked up this fish at that time, it's so amazing..."

Aguang was driving people away impatiently just now, but now his whole face was shining, not to mention how excited he was.

"How did you pick it up? Did you really pick it up? Take a look first..."

There is a bamboo basket next to it, with a rag inside to cover the fish to prevent it from losing its golden color after being exposed for a long time. The large yellow croaker caught during the day is originally lighter in color.

Aguang lifted up the rag on top and said: "I picked it up on the way back. Thinking that we would collect goods from another ship, my father and I planned to dock early. Who knew that on our way back, this A fish actually floated on the water and followed our boat."

He excitedly slapped his thigh again, "Fortunately, I didn't keep lowering my head to sort the goods. My mouth was itchy, so I wanted to step aside and smoke a cigarette. I held it in for the whole day. Fortunately, God was wise and didn't let me miss it. I just happened to see a fish that has been following the boat."

"I thought I was dazzled, so I kept poking my eyes, only to find out that it was true. I wasn't dazzled. I was so excited that I threw the whole pack of cigarettes into the sea. It almost made me panic. I didn't know what to do... …”

Ye Yaodong was also a little excited when he saw the large yellow croaker with a light yellow body and some whitish colors. It was really the oldest one, and it looked bigger than a newborn child.

Listening to A Guang talking excitedly next to him, he was also envious. How could he be so lucky? Changing his name could be so powerful, and he immediately turned over.

He felt that Aguang, who had changed his name, had become Mazu's biological son, almost closer than him, and he had really always been the God of Wealth.

"Did you worship the God of Wealth as your godson? What kind of bullshit luck do you think you can pick up a 30-pound large yellow croaker casually? Isn't this like pie in the sky? Damn it, why don't I have this luck?"

A Guang was about to say how he caught it when he was interrupted, "You haven't had this luck yet? You have better luck than anyone else, and you have the nerve to say it. How could I just catch it all for you?" Score a point and let others take advantage of it."

"I'm telling you, at that time..."

"My luck is not as good as yours. Just change your name and you will be at the top of your life."

"Oh shit, this is the pinnacle of life, can you finish what you're saying? I haven't even told you how I got it..."

"How else could you catch this? You could just catch it with your eyes closed. It would float to the surface of the water and follow you, automatically delivering it to your door. How could you let it escape? If it escaped, it wouldn't be lying here now."

Just don't let him tell you how you caught it, it will kill him!

Ye Yaodong watched him cover the rag again and was so envious that this piece of shit was so lucky!

The people nearby also used Ye Yaodong's light to see this 30-pound large yellow croaker. They were also pointing and whispering, discussing how much this fish could be sold for. If it costs 5 yuan per pound, it can be sold for 150 yuan. This is just picking up money, blah blah blah...

A Guang said proudly: "You just caught it with your eyes closed. I know you are very envious. Just like when I saw you catching good things and making a lot of money recently, I was so envious."

"Let me tell you, I was so excited that I almost jumped down and caught it myself..."

"Then you ask, why don't you jump down and catch it yourself?"

"Am I a fool?"

"Yep!"

"Damn, I mean I'm not a fool."

"Speak seriously." Father Ye saw that they started making jokes again without even saying a few words. It hurt to hear them. "Then what does this fish say now?"

The father-in-law spoke, and Aguang also smiled and said seriously: "I asked Acai to find someone to see if there is any rich boss who wants it. I went to the village committee and called the village committee to say that I would come later. So I waited. Here, let my father go back first and ask him to come out to replace me later. I don’t know when he will arrive.”

"It's okay, a fish this big is not cheap, and it's also a big yellow croaker."

only……

Father Ye pulled him to the corner and whispered, "A Dong said before that the price sold outside is much more expensive than the purchase price of 5 yuan per catty. Nowadays, there are many rich people, including those who are officials. , I said I want to eat well, but I don’t know if Dongzi is right or not.”

"But your fish is not only sold for 150, it may be doubled. You have to be more discerning later. If it is too cheap, don't sell it. Don't listen to others..."

"I know, dad, don't worry."

"Well, your father isn't here either. He hasn't come over yet. I'll just watch here and help you take a look."

The two said and returned to their original positions.

Ye Yaodong didn't know what his father was talking about when he took A Guang to the corner. He watched A Cai busy on the side and asked him what price he paid for needlefish.

"Needlefish? Did you catch needlefish too?"

"I just happened to encounter a school of fish, so I pulled up two nets. Did you catch any?"

"Uncle Jingye also caught a net, weighing more than 200 kilograms."

"By coincidence, I should weigh four to five hundred pounds."

"You're very lucky. You didn't lose anything and were able to drag one or two nets up."

"With luck, I almost got to meet Mazu."

"How do you say that?" Ah Cai had just finished weighing a basket, and paused while keeping accounts, and looked at him curiously.

"We'll talk about it later when it's empty. How much will it cost?"

"I don't know that you don't encounter this kind of fish every day. Anyway, I'll keep track of it first, and I'll fill it in for you when the price comes out. I can't trick you."

"How much is it approximately?"

"About five or six cents, it shouldn't be much different."

Ye Yaodong calculated in his mind that the four or five hundred kilograms should cost more than 20 yuan, which is not bad.

"OK."

Seeing that Brother A Sheng and his eldest cousin had moved a bunch of things in the corner one after another, he quickly urged his father.

"Dad, are you finished? Let's go move the goods first."

"Oh okay."
