Vol 3 Chapter 469: Xiaoying suddenly wanted to manage money

 After seeing the fish on the sticky net, Zhang Mingsheng and Chen Wenchao's eyes widened and they were not ready to rest.

 Brother-in-law was so excited that he was incoherent:

 “There are many fish, hurry up and go online, don’t let the fish escape.”

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

This fish hasn’t even come out of the water yet, so he couldn’t tell what kind of fish it was just by looking at the details.

 Seeing Zhang Mingsheng so excited, it is most likely a very expensive sea fish.

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

With the rumbling sound, the net hoisting machine started to rotate again, and the sea fish hanging on the sticky net were brought up one by one.

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

laymen may not understand much about large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, and yellow croaker, but for fishermen who used to often catch large yellow croaker.

This fish is really easy to recognize.

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

 Unfortunately, most of the large yellow croakers caught during the day are white, with only the fins, tail fins, and belly being a little yellow.

Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng, who once owned two boats, was naturally very happy to catch a large yellow croaker again and wanted to kiss him a few times.

 Speaking of which, he hasn’t caught this thing in nearly two years. During the New Year, this fish is just a piece of silver.

At this moment, he completely forgot in his mind that there was a drowned ghost nearby, but even if there was a drowned ghost, it didn't matter to him. After all, there was no sea where no one had died.

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

Seeing large yellow croakers being pulled up one after another, Chen Wenchao was very excited and kept thinking silently: "This one costs two yuan."

 “This one is heavier, there should be four pieces.”

After his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng caught more than ten large yellow croakers, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity. These fish are too small. The largest one only weighs more than two kilograms. Three or four years ago, I could often catch four or five kilograms." Yes, one is over half a meter long.”

 Chen Wenchao said with envy: "It's so big."

“There are even bigger ones, but it’s a pity that they can’t be seen now. If the super-large yellow croaker I caught five years ago had been sold now, it might have been sold for a hundred yuan.”

Li Duoyu smiled. He was not picky at all. Being able to catch a large yellow croaker now was pretty good.

I'm afraid that the number of large yellow croakers will only become smaller and smaller in the future. Fortunately, the Sharp Fisheries Research Institute next door has begun research on large yellow croaker breeding technology.

 Otherwise, if this trend continues, the large yellow croaker may become functionally extinct.

 And all the disasters can only start from the big fishing in the 1970s.

In this era, large yellow croaker was not particularly expensive. According to Old Tang in his previous life, by the 1990s, the price of wild large yellow croaker weighing more than two kilograms in good quality had already exceeded three digits.

 Large yellow croakers move in groups, and when a fish is caught, the whole net is often there.

Li Duoyu has two sticky nets, all of which are large yellow croakers. This fishing trip can be said to be full of harvest.

The most caught was large yellow croaker, which weighed about two hundred kilograms. The second most caught was sea bass and various groupers, which together weighed almost a hundred kilograms. There was also a basket of other miscellaneous fish.

Since too many marine fish were caught, the sampan boat drafted heavily, so Li Duoyu could only drive the boat back to the dock carefully.

 It took almost an hour to get here, and a full hour and a half to get back.

After his sampan docked, the fishermen on the shore stared straight at the two baskets of goodies on his boat, and they all surrounded him in an instant.

A fisherman who had just returned from "turtle hunting" said sadly: "Oh my god, it's so unfair. The village director is so rich and yet he is allowed to catch so many large yellow croakers."

 “I really want to rob the rich and give to the poor.”

Many fishermen present were all red-eyed. This boatload of fish could be sold for a lot of money.

As for those villagers who did not have boats and were doing odd jobs at the pier, they felt as if something was tickling them in their hearts after seeing this boat of fish.

They are also very aware that there are fewer and fewer large yellow croakers. Every time they are caught, there will be one less one. They are really anxious because they are afraid that when they buy a boat, there will be no large yellow croakers for them to catch.

A father and son, who have been working at the dock all year round, thought carefully for a while and gritted their teeth and said: "Dad, after next spring, we will also seek a loan from a credit union to buy a fishing boat."

“I’ve been there a long time ago, but the credit union won’t lend us a loan.”

“Dad, I heard that the credit union in town seems to be cooperating with our village. As long as you go to the village committee and write a letter of introduction to Director Li, the credit union will relax its conditions.”

“Then after next spring, I’ll go find our Director Li and ask for a letter of introduction.”

“Dad, should we buy a shrimp boat or an ordinary fishing boat?”

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

Li Duoyu’s sampan had not yet docked, and several fishmongers with glowing eyes jumped on board immediately.

The boat was relatively small, and the hull shook instantly. Old Man Mi cursed: "You little bastards, if you shake me off, I will lie down in front of your house."

One of the fishmongers is Uncle Zhuang’s eldest son, Zhuang Liangyu, who opened a seafood shop in the county town.

Since 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 them all to you? 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 something like this, Uncle Mi, we have already let you go once, please don’t grab it again this time.”

“There’s no need to take turns for 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, I will pay two yuan and fifteen cents."

 “Two yuan three.”

Just now, they received news that the price of large yellow croaker has risen again, and it may rise to three yuan tomorrow. But 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 is a snake.”

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

"You are so brave, you don't have the guts to **** fish from us with only a few dead spoons."

 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. He seemed to have guessed it, but he still couldn't help but asked: "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 give you two or three yuan for the big yellow croaker. I'll take it all."

 “Two dollars and thirty-five cents.”

 In the end, almost all the seafood in the whole 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 the boat, which was more than what many fishermen earn from fishing for a month.

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

 After returning home, he saw that Zhou Xiaoying had tidied up the house. Li Duoyu proudly took out a wad of money and slapped it on the table.

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

 “What’s wrong, 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 most of the 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, I will collect the money from you first. By the way, if you make any money in the future, give me 100% for safekeeping."

 Li Duoyu was a little surprised:

 “Why do 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 of it yourself?"

“I think about it myself. After listening to what my sister-in-law said, I feel 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 will 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 off his skills by hanging up the cobra and cutting a circle under the snake's head.

 Then, turn the skin up and gently pull it down to remove the entire snake skin.

However, the scene of Li Duoyu killing the snake became Xiao Pangdun's childhood nightmare, because after killing it, 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.

 “Stir-fried general’s hat with green garlic.”

 “Red flower crab vermicelli.”

 “Bamboo razor clam king with scallion oil.”

 “Ginger Snake Soup.”

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

 Also tried to drink a bowl of snake soup.

 “Uncle, this soup is so fragrant.”

Zhou Xiaoying, who has not played mahjong for a long time, made a rare suggestion: "How about we play mahjong tonight."

"sure."

 But with the disappearance of the novice halo, Teacher Zhou no longer has Tianhu cards such as "Golden General" and "Three Gold Down".

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

Just when everyone was playing three rounds and preparing to collect the mahjong, the second sister-in-law came to Li Duoyu's house in the dust.

Normally, she would have said a few words about Li Duoyu's new house, but now she had no such idea at all, and said excitedly and anxiously:

 “There are many fish, whether they are there or not.”

“Our big boss has agreed to the price you proposed.” (End of chapter)
