Chapter 469 Xiaoying Suddenly Wants to Manage Money (1/2)

After seeing the fish on the sticky net, Zhang Mingsheng and Chen Wenchao's eyes widened and they didn't plan to rest.

The brother-in-law was so excited that he was incoherent:

"Duoyu, hurry up and get on the net, don't let the fish run away."

Chen Wenchao was a little dazed. He could vaguely guess what kind of fish it was, but among the three people, he had been a fisherman for the shortest time.

The fish hadn't even come out of the water yet, and he couldn't tell what kind of fish it was based on those few details.

Seeing Zhang Mingsheng so excited, it was probably a very expensive sea fish.

Li Duoyu took the diesel engine key and started the diesel engine again.

With the rumbling sound, the net-lifting machine started again, and the sea fish hanging on the sticky net were brought up.

Zhang Mingsheng immediately untied a sea fish weighing about one and a half pounds, and said excitedly: "Wow, fuck, it's really a big yellow croaker."

Laymen may not know much about big yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, and yellow croaker, but for fishermen who used to catch big yellow croaker.

This fish is really easy to recognize.

First of all, the scales are fine, the jaw is more prominent, the body is slender, and the tail peduncle is 2 to 3 times its height.

Unfortunately, the yellow croakers caught during the day are mostly white, with only the fins, tail fin, and belly a little yellow.

Zhang Mingsheng, my brother-in-law who once owned two boats, was very happy to catch the yellow croaker again, and he wanted to kiss it a few times.

Speaking of which, he hasn't caught this thing for nearly two years. During the New Year, this fish is a lot of money.

At this moment, he completely forgot that there was a drowned ghost nearby, but even if there was a drowned ghost, he didn't care, after all, there was no sea without people dying, right?

After the fish was pulled up, Chen Wenchao finally understood why Zhang Mingsheng was so excited. Unexpectedly, it was really a yellow croaker.

Seeing one yellow croaker after another being pulled up, Chen Wenchao was also very excited, and he kept saying in his heart: "Two yuan for this one."

"This one is heavier, it should be four yuan."

After his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng caught more than ten yellow croakers, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity, these fish are too small, the largest one is only more than two kilograms. Three or four years ago, I could often catch four or five kilograms, and one was more than half a meter long."

Chen Wenchao envied: "So big."

"There are bigger ones, but it's a pity that they are no longer seen now. If the super yellow croaker I caught five years ago was put in now, maybe it could be sold for a hundred yuan."

Li Duoyu smiled. He was not picky at all. It was good to catch yellow croaker now.

I am afraid that the number of yellow croakers will only decrease in the future. Fortunately, the Sharp Fisheries Research Institute next door has begun to study the breeding and seedling technology of yellow croakers.

Otherwise, if the situation continues, yellow croakers may be functionally extinct.

All the troubles can only be traced back to the big fishing in the 1970s.

In this era, yellow croaker was not particularly expensive. I heard from Old Tang in my previous life that in the 1990s, the price of wild yellow croaker weighing more than two kilograms with good appearance had exceeded three digits.

Yellow croakers move in groups, and often when they are caught, they are caught in a whole net.

Li Duoyu had two full sticky nets full of yellow croakers. This time of fishing at sea, it can be said that he had a great harvest.

The most caught was yellow croaker, about two hundred kilograms. The second most caught was sea bass and various groupers, which added up to about a hundred kilograms. There was also a basket of miscellaneous fish.

Because too many sea fish were caught, the sampan was very water-intensive, so Li Duoyu could only carefully drive the boat back to the dock.

It took almost an hour to come here, and it took a full hour and a half to go back.

When his sampan docked, the fishermen on the shore saw the two baskets of good goods on his boat, their eyes widened, and they all surrounded him in an instant.

A fisherman who had just come back from fishing said bitterly: "Fuck, it's so unfair. The village director is so rich, but he still caught so many yellow croakers."

"I really want to rob the rich to help the poor."

Many fishermen present were jealous. This boat of fish could sell for a lot of money.

And those villagers who didn't have a boat and were doing odd jobs at the dock felt like something was constantly scratching their hearts after seeing this boat of fish.

They also knew that the yellow croakers were getting fewer and fewer. Every time they caught one, there would be one less. They were really anxious, fearing that by the time they bought a boat, there would be no yellow croakers for them to catch.

A father and son who worked at the dock all year round thought seriously for a while and gritted their teeth and said, "Dad, let's go to the credit union to get a loan to buy a fishing boat after the spring next year."

"I've been there a long time ago, but the credit union won't lend us money."

"Dad, I heard that the credit union in the town seems to have cooperation with our village. As long as we go to the village committee to ask Director Li to write a letter of introduction, the credit union will relax the conditions."

"Then after the spring next year, I will go to our Director Li to ask for a letter of introduction."

"Then Dad, should we buy a shrimp boat or an ordinary fishing boat?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the fish on Li Duoyu's boat: "Let's start with a small fishing boat first."

Li Duoyu's sampan boat was not docked yet, and several fishmongers with shining eyes jumped on it immediately.

The boat was relatively small, and it started to shake instantly. Mickey Mouse cursed, "You little bastards, if you shake me off, I'll lie down at your doorstep."

One of the fishmongers was Uncle Zhuang's eldest son, Zhuang Liangyu, who opened a seafood store in the county town.

Because Uncle Zhuang's legs and feet were inconvenient, he did not ask Uncle Zhuang to help collect the fish. Instead, he hired some people to help him look after the store, and he came to the island to collect the fish himself.

"Duoyu, we have been friends for so many years, you have to sell these two baskets of large yellow croakers to me."

Old Man Mi scolded: "How can I sell you all? Are you thinking about eating shit? At least two pieces per pound. Can you eat so much fish?"

"I must be able to eat it, otherwise I would say such things. Uncle Mi, we have already let you go once, please don't grab it again this time."

"There's no need to take turns with this kind of fish. The one with the highest price gets it. I'll pay two yuan a piece for this batch of large yellow croaker."

Seeing that old man Mi started to raise the price again, the other fishmongers twitched their mouths: "But they still shouted that I would pay two yuan and fifteen cents."

"Two dollars and three."

Just now, they received news that the price of large yellow croaker has risen again, and it may rise to three yuan tomorrow. There was a young fishmonger who did not intend to compete with them for these large yellow croakers, but planned to buy other seafood.

But when he opened a basket covered with weeds, his face instantly turned pale, and he was so frightened that he jumped into the sea.

"There's a snake."

Old Man Mi glanced at the contents of the basket, and then grabbed the cobra directly, looking at the young man pawing in the water with disgust.

"You're so brave, you don't have the guts to snatch fish from us with just a few dead rice spoon guns."

But the next second, Lao Mi's expression changed instantly. Didn't Duoyu go fishing? Why did he catch a snake?

It seems that this is the only place where they can catch this thing.

Lao Mi looked at Li Duoyu in horror, as if he had already guessed it, but he still couldn't help asking: "Duoyu, where did you catch these big yellow croakers and rice spoon guns?"

Li Duoyu didn't intend to deceive them: "I caught it at Dongjia Reef."

After hearing this, not only the fishmonger was silent, but also the villagers were silent and stopped quoting directly.

Old Man Mi struggled for a while. Anyway, he was not eating it himself, but selling it to rich people in the city. He was taboo with a hammer.

"You don't want the best. I'll take the big yellow croaker for two yuan and three yuan. I'll take it all."

"Two dollars and thirty-five cents."

In the end, almost all the seafood in the boat was sold, and two rice spoon guns were also sold to Lao Yang in the restaurant.

In the end, Li Duoyu made nearly 800 yuan from his boat, which was more than what many fishermen make in a month of continuous fishing.

After landing.

Li Duoyu divided the money directly. Of course he had the majority, but his brother-in-law and Xiaochao also shared a lot.

Li Duoyu went home carrying his general's hat, seven or eight red flower crabs, and some king razor clams.

After returning home, seeing Zhou Xiaoying tidying up the house, Li Duoyu proudly took out a wad of money and slapped it on the table.

"You did a good job. Here, I'll give you a reward. Help me process these seafood. I'll invite A Niang and Xiao Rong to eat seafood together tonight."

"Sorry, you've read too many novels." Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu with disgust and asked curiously: "Where did you get all this money?"

Li Duoyu said: "My brother-in-law and I caught a net of large yellow croaker today and made a lot of money."

After hearing that Li Duoyu caught a large yellow croaker, Zhou Xiaoying was slightly worried because Li Duoyu was really lucky.

The village had not caught this fish for more than half a year. He just went out to sea to fish once in a while and caught it directly.

Looking at the money on the table, Zhou Xiaoying thought for a while: "Okay, then I will collect the money from you first. By the way, in the future, if you make any money, give me 10% for safekeeping."

Li Duoyu was a little surprised:

"Why did you suddenly think of saving money?"

Zhou Xiaoying hesitated for a while, and then said: "Sister-in-law talked to me a lot about things in the city today. Now the city seems to be more open. I think when we have money, we can go to the city to buy some houses, stores, etc., even if we don't It’s okay to use it and collect rent.”

Zhou Xiaoying's words really frightened Li Duoyu, and he couldn't help but ask: "Did your sister-in-law tell you to buy a house or a store, or did you think about it yourself."

"I thought about it myself. After listening to what my sister-in-law said, I felt like every industry is good and everyone likes to buy things."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned: "I'm just discussing it with you. If you think it's inappropriate, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Support, 100% support."

Li Duoyu chuckled and said, "How about you stop being a teacher? From now on, we will be tenants and tenants. We can have more children and the house will be lively."

Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him.

"I don't want to be fined. If that's the case, I won't buy it."

That night, Li Duoyu personally took charge of the cooking and showed his skills to everyone. He hung up the cobra and cut a circle under the snake's head.

Then, he turned the skin up and gently peeled it off, taking off the entire snake skin.

However, the scene of Li Duoyu killing the snake became Xiao Pangdun's childhood nightmare, because after killing him, the skinless dead snake could still twist.

Li Duoyu gave the peeled snake skin to an old man in the village who played the erhu. It is said that the erhu instrument must be made of snake skin to sound good.

"Fried general's hat with green garlic."

“Red flower crab fans.”

"Onion Oil Bamboo Clam King."

"Ginger Snake Soup."

At first, Little Fatty was afraid of snake soup, but after smelling the fragrant soup, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

I also tried to drink a bowl of snake soup.

"Uncle, this soup is so delicious."

Zhou Xiaoying, who hadn't played mahjong for a long time, rarely suggested: "How about we play mahjong tonight."

"Okay."

But with the disappearance of the novice's aura, Teacher Zhou never had a "golden general" or "three golds" hand.

Instead, he kept firing cannons at the three old birds on the table. Because he lost so badly, Teacher Zhou suddenly didn't like mahjong anymore and gave his position to the eldest sister-in-law.

Just when everyone played three rounds and was ready to put away mahjong, the second sister-in-law came to Li Duoyu's house.

As usual, she would definitely say a few words about Li Duoyu's new house, but now she didn't have this idea at all, and said excitedly and anxiously:

"Duoyu, are you there?"

"Our boss agreed to the price you proposed." (End of this chapter)
