Chapter 219 Pack up and leave
"Okay." Xiang Xiaoyu gratefully thanked Li Changle and others, "Thank you, Uncle Ale, thank you, Teacher Zhou, Uncle Awei, uncle, and aunt, thank you."
"Silly boy!" Brother Li rubbed his head and picked up another wild sea duck and handed it to him, "Take this one back too."
"Thank you!" Xiang Xiaoyu thanked him gratefully again.
Li Changle patted him and said, "Go back and rest for a while. We have to collect the jars in the evening."
"I know."
Brother Li said to Li Xiaoyang: "We still have to sort the fish. You take your brothers and sisters home, and ask grandma to call some grandmas to come home later to help kill the fish."
"oh!"
After the children left, several adults began to sort out the fish, including Qing Zhan, Shui Ging, Pi Pi shrimp and some other miscellaneous fish, which weighed sixty or seventy kilograms.
There are shrimps, conger eels, sea bass, Spanish mackerel weighing forty or fifty pounds, and a few sea carps.
After all, this network was not in vain. After deducting the cost of diesel for today's round trip, there was still a profit of about ten yuan.
Li Changle and Chen Yongwei fished out the fish from the live cabin and put them into rubber buckets. The tiger eel and the two big fish took up one rubber bucket.
The giant dragon, lobster and sword shrimp are placed in a bucket.
Brother Li went to Chen Dong's house to pull the cart to the fishing boat. Several people carried the rubber buckets onto the cart, as well as bamboo baskets containing sea ducks, sea duck eggs, as well as various snails, shells, and clams.
There were a lot of black snapper today. Li Changle picked out the ones weighing more than five or six kilograms. The small black snapper and the small sea bass were all sent to Adong's house. He also gave him a dozen sea duck eggs.
He walked out of Chen's house with more than ten yuan, leaving Brother Li at the dock to continue receiving the goods.
Li Changle and others pulled the trolley home, while Li's mother was drying squid heads and cuttlefish at home.
Father Li and the villagers who had been invited to help with small jobs went to the new foundation to receive the bricks and tiles delivered by the cargo ship.
Brother Li sorted out the fish caught to dry the carp heads, dried shrimps and eels, and weighed them according to the triangular weight of one kilogram, totaling ninety-four kilograms.
Then there are Qingzhan, Shuiji, Pipi shrimps and miscellaneous fish, more than ninety kilograms, an average of three-thirds a kilogram, all deducted from the money collected from the dried fish at home.
Mother Li saw the bamboo basket under the eaves of the corridor and saw that they had caught sea ducks, collected duck eggs, and bird eggs. "Ale, you can send some of these to your sister, and then send her some fish, shrimp, and crabs."
.”
"Okay, catch a duck and pick up twenty seabird eggs like duck eggs. You can take the fish, shrimps and crabs as you watch."
"Hey!" Li's mother happily took the household items and packed them with food for her daughter.
Li Changle said to Brother Li: "Brother, I will catch four sea ducks, pick up forty sea duck eggs, and some seabird eggs to paint under the bridge and give them to Uncle Kun and Boss Gu."
"Yes, why don't you pick some fish and shrimp to send?"
"No, just have these."
"It's up to you. You're better at doing favors than we are."
"They don't lack anything. We just need to give them some if they find it rare. We will also give a sea duck to Adonbo in the evening."
"Okay, thanks to A Dongbo's help this time for the foundation construction."
Brother Li helped lift the rubber bucket to the tricycle and hung two bamboo baskets on Chen Yongwei's bicycle.
Li Changle remembered the sea cucumbers in the bucket, carried the bucket into the house and said to Mother Li: "Auntie, pick out the big one and send it to Grandma Chen, and keep the rest to kill a chicken and stew it tomorrow."
eat."
Mother Li looked at the sea cucumbers in the bucket and glanced at him, "Why are you eating these? It would be great to sell such a big sea cucumber for money. You have such a mouth, you want to eat everything."
Li Changle grimaced, "You can't think of me in the best light! I was thinking that my father's leg was not healed yet and he still had to help us with the house. You kept coughing at night.
And Ah Nan, who has always been so thin, people have to spend money to buy it home to make up for it. We picked it up ourselves, so it should be kept for the whole family to make up for."
Mother Li looked at him and said, "This thing has no smell at all, so what's the use of it? It's better to sell it and buy two big pig hooves and come back to replenish it!"
"...Auntie, if you want to eat big pig's trotters, you can always go to the street and buy them." Li Changle knew that she was reluctant to part with them. As long as she caught valuable fish, she would like to exchange them all for money.
Brother Li, who came into the house and called Li Changle to start, also laughed and said: "Mom, a few sea cucumbers can't be sold for more than a few dollars, so just listen to A Le and kill a chicken and stew it for yourself. If you want to sell it later,
Just go pick it up again.”
"You are all willing to part with it, why should I be reluctant to part with it?" Mother Li said, grabbing sea cucumbers in a bowl and sending them to the Chen family.
"Ah Le, everything is installed. When you come back, take the things to Ah Xi."
"OK!"
Li Changle and Chen Yongwei pedaled non-stop, pulling fish on their bicycles to Tuxiaqiao for delivery.
About half an hour later, the two arrived at the restaurant and knocked on the kitchen door. Unexpectedly, the person who opened the door was Uncle Kun.
Li Changle smiled and pushed the tricycle into the yard, "I thought you didn't come back from Haimen!"
"I have something to do. I'll be back at noon." Akun helped lift the bamboo basket off the bicycle, "Why did you return to Hong Kong so early today?"
“I took my wife and kids to the island for a day.”
"No wonder we caught so many wild sea ducks and picked up so many eggs."
Li Changle smiled and lifted the bamboo basket containing four wild sea ducks, as well as the bamboo basket containing small abalone, sea duck eggs, and seabird eggs from the car.
"Uncle Kun, these small abalones were pried on the island, and they look pretty good. I also have these wild sea ducks and eggs, brought here for you and Boss Gu to try."
"Okay, I'm not polite." Akun accepted it readily and put it aside, looking at the rubber bucket, "Did you get any good stuff?"
Li Changle smiled and pulled open the net bag covering the rubber bucket, "Yes, there is a large flower dragon, a green robe, a large blue spot, and a tiger eel."
A Kun looked at it and said with a smile: "You're lucky, you have big goods coming out every now and then."
"Today's big stuff was all obtained by Awei and Ge." Li Changle smiled and told him about today's longline fishing, and Akun was very happy after hearing this.
"The big flower dragon will cost you twelve yuan, the big green spot will cost you two yuan and a half, the big green one will cost you one and a half, the tiger eel will cost you three and a half yuan, and the horse fish will cost you two and a half yuan. The rest are still the same price."
"Okay!" Li Changle and Chen Yongwei hurriedly fished out the fish and weighed it.
The Big Flower Dragon sold for 15 yuan and 6 yuan for one pound and three taels, the Big Blue Spot sold for 52 and 5 yuan for 21 pounds, the Big Tsing Yi and thirty-two pounds and four taels for 48 yuan and 6, and the tiger eel for 14 pounds and 49 yuan.
Several Mayou fish total 25 kilograms and 7 taels, 59 yuan.
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
The yellow fin fish and black snapper, totaling 95 kilograms, were sold for 102 yuan, and the selected rice fish, sea bass, mackerel, and conger eels were also sold for 35 yuan.
The fish catch sold for 361 yuan in total, followed by swimming crab, red crab, green crab, prawn, sword shrimp, and lobster, which sold for another 106 yuan in total.
After the fish were weighed, Li Changle took the large rattle snail, Buddha's hand snail, and the conch picked up by Xiang Xiaoyu and his brothers, the bergamot snails pried, the sea duck eggs, and seabird eggs out of the car, and then took the brothers out of the car.
I told Akun about their situation.
"His parents are still alive and dead, and their bodies are nowhere to be found. The two children look really pitiful. They picked them up and kept them to eat."
"My wife was thinking about the price difference and wanted them to be sold in the town, but she was worried that they would be extorted by those gangsters in the town, so I sent it to you here."
Akun nodded cheerfully, "We also have to collect these things. If they get them again in the future, just send them over."
Then he sighed and said, "Oh! It's all over once and for all when a person dies. It just hurts two children who have lost their parents. It's good that they can do this."
"Yes, the younger one will continue to go to school tomorrow, and the village will also waive his tuition and miscellaneous fees. But the older one will not be able to do that. He has to earn money at home to support himself and his younger brother."
"If it's not far away, let him come to the store to help."
"It's too young. I taught him how to catch octopus. With any luck, the brothers should have no problem eating."
"You also have a kind heart." A Kun patted Li Chang Le, then said angrily after thinking about it, "That boy A Sheng, I think he has a lot of eyes.
I thought I would let him learn from me for two years, but I didn’t know he was so talkative. Today I was chatting nonsense in the kitchen, but Manager Gu happened to catch me and asked him to pack up and leave."
Although Li Changle had long thought that Ah Sheng would not last long, he did not expect that he would leave so quickly.
Seeing that A Kun was fuming, he hurriedly comforted him: "You are still worried about having no apprentices. There are so many juniors in the store. If you pay attention slowly, you can always find one you are satisfied with."
"I think so too. I have to look at it carefully this time before making a decision."
Ah Kun pointed at the sea duck eggs and said, "Just one dime, and seabird eggs are worth five cents."
"This kind of Buddha's hand snails are still priced at the same price. Large ring snails are two yuan a piece, and large bamboo snails are also priced at the same price."
"Thank you, Uncle Kun!" Li Changle knew that A Kun opened the back door and paid a good price for the big bamboo shoot snail.
After weighing, the Xiang Xiaoyu brothers pried off 45 kilograms of Buddha's hand snails, 75 duck eggs, 80 seabird eggs, and 16 large bamboo snails, and sold them for a total of 88 yuan5.
The bergamot snails that Sister-in-law Li and her three sisters pried, plus four large rattle snails, were sold for a total of 137 yuan. The Li family played and worked together all day, and the total of all the fish caught was sold for a total of 655 yuan.
Li Changle and the two came out of the restaurant and drove towards Li Changxi's house.
Chen Yongwei thought about it and said happily: "Brother, if we continue like this, we will be able to earn back the money to buy a big ship by the end of the year."
Li Changle did some calculations, and with the money from selling Buddha's hand snails, he would be able to get more than four hundred today. "As long as everything goes well, there should be no problem at the end of the year."
The two of them were so happy that they pedaled very fast. They arrived at the entrance of Li'ao Village in ten minutes. Before entering the village, they met Zhang Dejin who was pedaling out of the village.
"Ale, where are you coming from? I was planning to go to Shatou Village to find you."
Li Changle turned and pointed at the bamboo basket in the carriage, "I've sent delicious food to your house."
"So many delicious foods? What a blessing." Zhang Dejin smiled and took out a cigarette and handed it to the two of them, "My father-in-law said that you have booked a big ship. Is it true?"
My brother-in-law is amazing. When he is not good at it, he can make people angry to death. When he is good at it, he can do it so well that people can envy him.
In just one month, he built a new house and bought a big boat. In the blink of an eye, he became a good young man praised by everyone.
"It's decided, we won't receive the boat until the year after tomorrow." The three said, turning around and walking towards the village.
