Vol 3 Chapter 382: Moon Fish, heading to Hangzhou Pier
Chapter 382 Moon Fish, heading to Hangzhou Pier
They had never seen this kind of fish in their whole life of fishing. All the crew members put down their work and gathered around to watch.
Someone with itchy hands stepped forward and touched it, and said in shock: "Why is this fish so warm?"
“I’ll touch and see whether it’s real or fake.”
Li Shuguang asked: "Second uncle, you have been fishing for the longest time. Do you know what kind of fish this is?"
The second uncle shook his head: "I don't know. I have never seen this kind of fish. It may be from the deep sea. If there weren't a fishing boat with many fish leading the way, your father, third uncle and I would never have arrived." Come to fish from the open sea.”
The second uncle also stepped forward and touched it, and found that this fish was really different. It was actually a little warm, and the temperature was a little higher than other fish.
“It’s strange, isn’t the fish always cold? Why is it still hot?”
“Isn’t this fish poisonous?”
“I heard someone say that the prettier the fish, the more poisonous it is.”
Li Duoyu came to Sanshu’s trawler and looked at the “beautiful fish” in front of him with a smile on his face, filled with joy.
This fish is flat, like an enlarged version of pomfret. Li Duoyu made a simple visual inspection and found that the fish was more than one meter long and felt to weigh more than a hundred kilograms.
The red fins kept flapping back and forth, and the small mouth kept opening, as if to say:
“Let me go quickly, I can still be saved.”
After seeing Li Duoyu coming, Li Shuguang asked: "Duoyu, you go to many places, do you know this kind of fish?"
Li Duoyu smiled and nodded.
“You really asked the right person.”
The crew all looked at him. The second uncle didn't believe it. He didn't even know this fish. Did Li Duoyu know him?
“Duoyu, do you really know this fish?”
Li Duoyu said in disgust:
“I am also the director of your village, why don’t I pretend to know how to lie to you?”
After hearing this, everyone suddenly laughed. They were used to getting along with each other. When Li Duoyu said this, everyone suddenly realized.
Li Duoyu is the director of their village.
Li Duoyu cleared his throat and introduced: "This kind of fish is called moon fish. It is rare in coastal waters and usually lives in the open sea. It is a very rare warm-blooded fish."
Seeing that Li Duoyu hadn’t even touched it, he knew that the fish’s body would become hot. The second uncle frowned and said:
“Duoyu, you are not a breeder, but I discovered that you seem to know everything, even this kind of fish.”
Li Duoyu grinned and said: "Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. Only by going out can you understand the world."
After hearing this, Li Shuguang couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "As expected of someone who has a Chinese teacher at home, he speaks well."
Li Duoyu pursed his lips and said, "Can't it be said that I am good at it?"
Li Shuguang smiled and said: "I graduated from junior high school after all, and you just graduated, okay?"
The corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched, and he began to make up nonsense again: "Actually, I only saw this fish for the first time when I was inspecting the island country. This fish is sold very valuable there, one fish can be sold for two Three thousand.”
The second uncle asked in surprise: "How much is it?"
“Almost two or three thousand.”
Li Duoyu is really not lying. In this era, in an island country, the price of this fish is considered conservative, let alone one or two thousand. The price of this fish is considered conservative.
Li Duoyu felt that he said it was cheap, but when everyone heard the price, they couldn't help but gasped. Chen Liang couldn't help but asked: "Brother Yu, how much can we sell for it here?"
“I don’t know about this, but it won’t be much cheaper than in the island country.”
The crew members said one after another: "Yes, I don't think it should be sold too cheaply. They sell it for two to three thousand, so we must sell it for at least two to three hundred."
Li Zhengfa, the boss of the boat, said: "Duoyu, you are more experienced, why don't you sell this fish later?"
The second uncle also said: "The best thing is to sell fish if you have a lot of fish. I think you can let him sell it."
Li Duoyu thought for a while and said, "No problem."
After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he picked up a knife and held the cloth in his left hand to hold down the moon fish.
After being covered with cloth, Moon Fish suddenly became quiet for a while, while Li Duoyu directly pushed the big fish with his knee.
“Shuguang, help me press the fish together.”
The two of them held down the fish.
The fish knife in Li Duoyu's right hand was directed towards the tail of the fish, and he made two quick cuts.
The moon fish resisted and struggled violently, but it was pressed hard by the two men and could not move at all.
Li Duoyu skillfully made two more cuts on the aorta of its head.
After the cutting, the red liquid spurted out and splashed on Li Duoyu's hand, which was really slightly hot.
He has dissected several moon fish before, but when he got his hands on them, they were often frozen into big blocks of ice. He had never touched a living moon fish before.
When a big fish like this is caught, it must be bled immediately. Otherwise, if it dies, it will be difficult to release it if you want to. And the taste of fish that has not been bled will be many times worse.
Old fishermen still understand the operation of bleeding. If some deep-sea groupers are caught without bleeding, the taste will indeed be much worse.
But Li Duoyu’s operation made many old fishermen present frown.
Intuition told them that Li Duoyu must be very familiar with this. He had definitely bled this fish before, otherwise he would not be so skilled. .
"well."
The second uncle, who was smoking a dry cigarette, couldn't help but said: "The times are changing too fast. If we don't go out for a walk, we will have nothing to do in the future."
The uncle on the side rolled his eyes at him: "You are already old, and if I have anything else to do with you, I will let you continue working for five years at most. After five years, no one will want you even if you want to get on the ship."
“You are not the same.”
“Stop talking nonsense, come over and tie up the swimming crabs together.”
As the sound of "rumbling" sounded, the fleet sailed towards the Shenjiamen Pier.
At about four o'clock in the morning, the fleet arrived at Shenjiamen Pier, and it felt like there were many fishing boats at any point in this pier, and there were always fishing boats queuing up at the stalls in front.
As soon as their fleet entered the port, there were many fishmongers on the oars, trying to get on their fishing boats.
They were already experienced and shouted directly: "There is no need to climb up, it has been booked."
Li Duoyu took the fleet to the fishmonger who bought their large yellow croaker last time.
After seeing Li Duoyu's fishing boat, the fishmonger immediately knew who was coming and was hesitant to move the boarding ladder.
This young man is so smart. The last time I did business with him, I really didn’t make much money.
What he didn't expect was.
This young man actually took the initiative to move the boarding ladder. This shocked the fishmonger and he quickly said:
“Why did you start moving without even asking the price?”
Li Duoyu smiled and said: "We are so familiar with each other, you will definitely not trick me."
The corner of the fishmonger's mouth twitched and he cursed secretly: "You're a **** fool."
He quickly glanced at their fishing boat and directly quoted: "The swimming crab is worth 16 cents alive, 6 cents dead, and the fish is 5 cents."
After the fishmonger quoted the price.
Li Duoyu did not counter-offer at all, but directly agreed: "Okay, that's the price."
Seeing that this young man did not negotiate the price at all, the fishmonger was stunned: "Why don't you raise your hand?"
Li Duoyu handed over a cigarette.
“Everyone wants to make money, and it’s not easy. If I raise my hand every time, you’ll probably drive me away next time you see me.”
After hearing this, the fishmonger was inexplicably moved. This guy was a good guy, but he didn’t expect him to be quite understanding of the ways of the world. “Okay, let’s unload the goods.”
After hearing this, everyone carried the swimming crabs off the pier one after another.
The whole process of selling fish is very refreshing, but the fishmonger always feels something is wrong.
“Do you still have the goods?”
Li Duoyu nodded: "There is indeed some stock, but it is relatively rare. I don't know if you know how to eat it or not."
The fishmonger suddenly laughed and said: "We are all so familiar, don't move to the dock first, let me take a look first."
"no problem."
Li Duoyu led the fishmonger directly into the ice cabin of the trawler and saw the moon fish wrapped in broken ice.
The fishmonger took a breath of air.
“It’s strange, you are obviously not from our local area, but you are so lucky that you can even catch this kind of fish.”
Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It's okay. This is our first time to catch this kind of fish. Boss, please give us a price."
The fishmonger frowned and thought, then slowly stretched out three fingers.
Li Duoyu held out five fingers: "I think this number is more appropriate."
The fishmonger shook his head: "You really can't sell this amount. It's too expensive. This kind of fish can only be sold to big hotels that receive foreign guests."
The fishmonger held out four fingers: "I can only give you this number, and I will use it as a commission for running errands."
“Okay, that’s the number.”
The fishmonger was stunned. He frowned and looked at the young man in front of him. Did he have a new boy in his family? Why was he so talkative this time?
After the two parties have agreed on the price.
Li Duoyu moved the moon fish to the dock, which instantly attracted many fishmongers, and they also wanted to talk to Li Duoyu.
“Brother, do you still remember me? I bought yellow ham from you last time.”
The fishmonger who had already bought the moon fish said disgustedly: "No need to say hello, I have already bought this fish."
“Old Zheng, how much did you pay for it?”
“Fifty yuan.”
“That’s nonsense, you want fifty yuan to buy it, I’ll buy it for you for two hundred yuan.”
And because I caught this moon fish on this trip, I still made a lot of money from it.
There are more than 80 great unity sheets.
But moon fish accounted for half of the total. If no moon fish were caught, this trip would not be particularly profitable.
After selling the fish.
The two trawlers directly found a place to park. Many crew members chose to go to the dock to eat at the stir-fry restaurant, and some even ran back to the cabin to sleep.
Li Duoyu’s fishing boat is heading north. Until now, we still don’t know that Li Duoyu hid a woman’s second uncle on the fishing boat.
“There are so many fish, where are you going?”
Li Duoyu replied: "I have something to do and I have to go to Hangzhou."
“Won’t you follow us?”
"If something happens, Dawn will bring the boat back and fish with you."
"Oh well."
As the fishing boat headed towards Hangzhou Bay, Li Shuguang was studying the nautical chart of Hangzhou Bay, which he had just exchanged with another boat boss for the chart near Rongcheng.
This chart shows some dangerous places in Hangzhou Bay, such as reefs and even sunken ships.
For those who sail a boat.
A reliable nautical chart is very important, and Li Shuguang and Li Duoyu discussed it and the two of them drew a sailing route to Hangzhou Pier.
From Zhoushan Islands to Hangzhou Pier, there is still a hundred nautical miles. Even Li Duoyu, a fishing boat, would have to drive for a long time.
Hangzhou Bay has a very large number of fishing boats, and it is adjacent to Zhoushan Fishing Ground.
There are a lot of big boats and small boats.
However, Li Duoyu, this white fishing boat, will attract the attention of others no matter where it goes. According to the words of future generations, it is definitely the most beautiful boy in the sea.
Even after arriving at Hangzhou Pier, other fishing boats gave up their positions and gave it priority to dock.
After Li Duoyu polished his leather shoes, he reached out to the dock like a gentleman and pulled Zhou Xiaoying onto the pier.
But in the eyes of the fishermen, the two of them instantly became upper class. Looking from a distance, the man was quite handsome and the woman was beautiful and elegant.
As they walked forward, the fishermen on both sides of the road stepped back unconsciously.
After seeing everyone’s reactions, Zhou Xiaoying realized that Li Duoyu’s anti-thief routine was really good.
The two of them took two steps towards the pier, and a man-powered tricycle master pedaled over:
“Comrade, are you here for fun or for a meeting? If you are here for fun, I can introduce you.”
The coachman's words reminded Li Duoyu: "Xiaoying, the West Lake, Lingyin Temple, and Leifeng Pagoda seem to be not far from here. Would you like to go and have a look."
When the rickshaw driver heard this, he smiled and said, "Comrade, you seem to be very familiar with us in Hangzhou."
“It’s not bad, I’ve been here a few times.”
In fact, he has only been here once. When Zhou Xiaoying fell ill, she suddenly wanted to go out for a walk, and the first stop was the West Lake.
Zhou Xiaoying frowned slightly. She was curious about how many places Li Duoyu had been to during the time when he was selling goods.
How come she is familiar with this place, but when it comes to the West Lake, she really wants to go there. There is a piece of "West Lake" in the primary school textbook.
She can recite it by heart, but she has never been here. If she could visit it, it might be more vivid when she goes back to give lectures.
But when she thought about the size of the West Lake, it would probably take a day to look around it. What worried her the most in the past two days was whether little Tutu didn't sleep with her at night and whether she cried or made a fuss.
“Forget it, let’s not go now. Next time when Tutu grows up, we will bring him here with us.”
"sure."
Li Duoyu shouted to the master: "Master, let's go directly to Wulin Bus Station."
“Okay, comrade, your accent sounds like it’s not from our area.”
“I’m from the Zhoushan Islands.”
“No wonder you smell like seafood.”
As the tricycle drove forward, the driver directly turned on the chatterbox mode, and Li Duoyu also chatted with others without saying a word.
Seeing that Li Duoyu is so good at chatting, he can have a lively conversation with a coachman.
Zhou Xiaoying suddenly remembered what the principal of their elementary school said. It would be a waste to stay on Dandan Island. If he knew so many leaders, if he wanted to climb up, our island might really be able to produce a high-ranking official.
Looking at the houses and buildings along the way, Li Duoyu found that in this era, the city of Hangzhou didn't seem to be much better than Rongcheng. Everyone seemed to be the same.
But why is there such a big difference in the back?
After arriving at Wulin Bus Station, Li Duoyu found that the station in front of him was full of people carrying large and small bags.
“Comrade, the Wulin bus station has arrived.”
Li Duoyu didn’t ask about the price and gave the other party fifty cents. The driver was a little surprised, and then said with a smile:
“Comrade, be careful when you get in the car later. There are a lot of three hands here. Pay special attention to those holding large and small bags to squeeze you. They are all part of a gang and most likely want to steal something.”
“Thank you, master.”
