Chapter 34: Great Harvest

"Hurry, the mosquito bites are terrible!" Li Changle took out the net bag from his backpack with a stern expression, pulled it open and opened the mouth of the net bag, "Pour out all the fish and put them into the net bag, I have to go down and pick up a few more A cage!"

????????????

He felt very happy, thinking that if he continued like this, he would soon be able to collect the funds to repair the fishing boats, and then go to sea to earn money to build a house and buy a big boat.

In this life, he wants to build a house at a seaside intersection that everyone in the village despises. After waiting for another 30 years, the beach will be built there, and the sea view houses will be built. The demolition money will still belong to his family for the rest of his life.

"Brother, don't worry, I've finished setting up the crab net. Let's go and set up the ground cage together when I finish it!"

Chen Yongwei grinned and untied the ground cage, poured the snow eel into the net bag, and saw that there was a dead fish in the fish collection bag. "Brother, do you think it was caught after it got in to eat fish?"

"It goes without saying that these fish can't be packed with it, otherwise there will be no bones left when the family is home!" Li Changle happily put away the net bag containing the snow eel, took out another net bag from the backpack, and then put Put the snow eel in the backpack.

Thinking that the snow eel has been classified as a second-level protected fish in later generations, the loudspeaker in the village shouted every day to catch it privately, and to go in and use the sewing machine to eat for free, but some people still caught it in the secret transaction.

And the more sneaky it is, the more expensive it is!

Li Changle thought of the prices of the giant flower dragon and the rice fish, and asked: "Awei, how much can the snow eel be sold for per kilogram?"

Chen Yongwei thought for a while, "I heard that there are quite a lot of people who like to buy this product for nourishment. It seems to be sold for three yuan a pound!"

Are you so happy for only three yuan a pound?

Li Changle shrugged, feeling that after passing the rice fish and the giant flower dragon, he shouldn't have any expectations for the current seafood prices.

When Chen Yongwei saw that he didn't respond, he smiled and said, "Brother, just be satisfied! We only worked for one morning and we can earn dozens of yuan, and the money from last night's sales was already hundreds."

Think about those people who go out to sea to help ships. They take risks and work hard for a month for only eighty or ninety yuan. Our earnings are already very enviable."

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied. I heard them say in town that a portion in a big hotel costs more than ten yuan. I thought it would fetch seven or eight yuan a pound!"

When Li Changle said this, he suddenly thought of the famous Phoenix Restaurant in Tuxiaqiao, and regretted that his intestines turned green. Why didn't he think of sending the Big Flower Dragon and Rice Fish there yesterday to ask?

"The things in big hotels are so expensive!" Chen Yongwei poured the mackerel into the net bag, opened the fish bag and poured the mullet into the net bag, "Brother, the mullet only sells for a few cents per catty, but the taste is better than The mackerel is still tender, so just keep these pieces for yourself!"

Li Changle also thinks that blackhead fish is delicious. Although this fish looks a bit like grass carp, it is much more delicious than grass carp. The meat is tender and delicious. Especially the blackhead fish before the winter solstice is called plump.

"Okay, just keep it for yourself." He put the net bag in his backpack, walked to another tree, untied the rope of the ground cage, and walked down.

After walking for twenty or thirty meters, I reached the ground cage. After I lifted it up, I felt that it was not as heavy as before. When the ground cage reached the surface of the water, I saw a few fish and a few dace fish in the fish collection bag. .

The small one weighs about one kilogram, and the larger ones are estimated to weigh two to three kilograms. This cage should be sold for three or four yuan.

Some fish, also called cobia, are warm-water fish that often migrate and inhabit the middle and lower waters of the open sea. They are carnivorous fish and like to eat fish, shrimps and crabs.

The shape and posture of this fish are somewhat similar to ?, with a nearly cylindrical body, a dark brown back, a flat and wide head, a large and domineering mouth, and a pair of small eyes.

The fish is a large fish, the largest weighing one to twenty kilograms. The meat is plump, tender, and delicious. It is most delicious steamed or braised.

Li Changle still likes the fish marinated into dried fish. There is a local saying called "one pomfret, two pomfret, three mackerel", which shows that it tastes more delicious than mackerel.

He walked to the shore carrying the ground cage, and Chen Yongwei also came over carrying another ground cage, "Brother, is the cage just now in stock?"

"See for yourself!" Li Changle put down the ground cage and went to get the net bag, "Where is the cage you are carrying?"

"Alas!" Chen Yongwei sighed, "I am just a rotten winter melon. There is only one mullet in it and two white crabs that add up to more than a pound."

"Be content, it's good to have an empty cage." Li Changle smiled and handed him the net bag. After the two poured the fish in, they continued to collect the cage. After he collected the cage, he found that there were two Blue crabs, a few mullet fish.

The two blue crabs were estimated to weigh a pound and could be sold for one or two yuan. He happily carried the cage back to the shore and asked, "How was the harvest of this cage?"

"I'll take a look at yours first!" After Chen Yongwei looked at his, he said with a frustrated face: "There were two white crabs just now, and this net only has a few aconites.

Brother, your luck is unparalleled. You can make more in two days than I can in several months. How about you pay me some wages in the future and I will help you."

Li Changle stared, "Damn, I've only been working for two days, don't you know that novices have better luck?"

Chen Yongwei curled his lips and said, "The first time I went fishing in the sea, I was not as lucky as you. I dug up more than ten kilograms of dragonflies and a few kilograms of sand and returned home. Look at you, rice fish, giant flower dragon, big blue crab, snow Eel...not like you."

Li Changle also felt a little proud after hearing this, "Then my luck is better than yours. But as you know in Taohai, it's good to get good goods if you're lucky. It's common to go home with empty buckets when your luck is bad. If I don’t catch any fish, how can I pay you for your work?”

Chen Yongwei smiled naively and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll open more if I have you. If you don't, I'll open less. I won't resent you for giving me less!"

Li Changle smiled and shook his head, "It's not as simple as you think. Besides, you can only make ends meet by fishing for sea food. I can't just spend my whole life fishing for sea food with a group of women on the tidal flats."

"Oh! I understand, your family also has a small fishing boat, and you want to go out to catch fish in a cage."

"Yes! I plan to save money to repair the broken fishing boat at home and convert it into a motorized boat, so that I can go out to sea to fish pots and crab pots, and I can also go fishing on distant islands.

You go back and discuss it with your grandma. If she agrees, we brothers can discuss whether we should go to sea together, or should I pay you and hire you to help the boat?"

Li Changle thought that they both know how to row an oar and paddle a boat, because Chen Ainai was worried that her grandson would be lost like her son when he went to sea, so she kept suppressing Awei and refused to let him go.

But I can't always rely on sea fishing to support my family. It's okay now, because in the future, I can only make ends meet by doing this. If I want to make a lot of money and live a decent life, I have to make money to buy a big boat and go fishing in big fishing grounds.
