When the fishermen on the boat approached, they greeted them one after another and asked them puzzledly why they came back early?

Only then did they realize that after a day and a night, there had been no rain, no thunder or lightning in the village at all, and the bad weather was only in the open sea.

After Father Ye explained to them with a smile, everyone happily moved all the goods on the boat to the boat.

As for the highlight of the show, Mao Kunyu was only carried out by him and Chen Shi at the end.

At just one glance, all the old fishermen present screamed in surprise.

"Wow, such a big fish?"

"What kind of fish is this? It's so big? Oh, why is the fish's head black? It's so strange? I haven't seen such a big fish for a long time."

"This fish looks taller than a human, taller than A Dong, right?"

"There are some who are taller than you, but taller than me...it seems a little bit worse? Let's compare when we get home later." Ye Yaodong also had a smile on his face.

It was dark, rainy, and thundering when he got it up last night. He didn't have the heart to lift it up and gesture with it. It was not easy to take pictures in the rain or at night.

You can take a photo when you carry it home later, and then ask someone to help lift the fish and put it next to him to compare its height.

Of course you have to take pictures of such a big hairy catfish, and you have to include yourself in the photo. Later, you can take out the preserved isinglass and proudly say that he dried it and that it came from this fish.

Ouch~ I feel proud just thinking about it~

The raised corners of his mouth were hard to suppress.

"What kind of fish is this? It's such a big one?"

Father Ye said loudly and proudly with a smile on his face: "This is a hairy fish. It's so expensive. It weighs more than 100 kilograms. It takes two people to lift it."

"Maoyu? Let me go, it's a hairy fish, isn't it? I let you catch such a big hairy fish, my God..."

"Oh my god~ Such a big hairy fish~"

"Is it a hairy fish? It's so big, how much is it worth? I'm kidding..."

"The head of this fish is completely black. Is it a hairy fish? Have you admitted your mistake? Have you never seen anything like this?"

A group of fishermen on the surrounding boats were exclaiming and talking incessantly. Even the boatmen on the Harvest were also talking. They had no idea that the Dongsheng had caught such a hairy fish at night.

Father Ye happily explained, "There was lightning and thunder outside the sea at night. We were so panicked that we wanted to come back directly, but we saw a fish jumping out of the water and was struck by lightning."

"I didn't look carefully at first, but I saw a shadow. The fish floated next to our fishing boat. I saw it when I was standing on the helm, and then I quickly asked Dongzi to salvage it."

"Originally, I just thought that this big fish had already floated to the side. I just caught it to see what kind of fish it was and see if I could sell it for more money. Who knew that when I caught it, it turned out to be a hairy fish. All of us were shocked.

One jump."

Father Ye stood on the Dongsheng and started talking. The others had all loaded the goods on the ship and were reluctant to leave. They were still standing there listening.

Father Pei stood on the boat with thick dark circles under his eyes and a face full of exhaustion but envy. He did not call the old fisherman to row to the shore immediately. He wanted to hear for a while how he caught it.

"The black spots on its head were struck by lightning. We didn't recognize it at first, and we only saw it clearly when we fished it out..."

"Now that I've made a fortune, this fish has become valuable. The isinglass in its belly is probably forty or fifty centimeters long, right? It's top quality!"

"Yes, fortunately, the head of this fish was chopped off. Other fish would be worthless if they were chopped. This fish is fine. The isinglass inside is still good, so it is still valuable."

"I'll have to ask Ah Cai later. Negotiate more on the price and sell it for more money. I haven't seen this good thing in many years. I saw it 10 years ago, but it wasn't this big."

As soon as he talked about selling for money, Father Ye became depressed and was no longer in the mood to brag.

No matter how valuable something is, it has to be sold and realized before it can be called a profit. Otherwise, how can it be called a profit if you put it in your hands? Then just throw it in your hands.

"Okay, okay, after placing the fish, let's get to the shore quickly. We have been working hard all night and we haven't had a good rest. Let's get to the shore first and sell these goods first."

Ye Yaodong wanted to see if it was raining at home and was in a hurry to get back to the shore. Father Pei stayed up all day and night and didn't want to mess around with the goods on the way. It would take several hours just to mess around.

So the two of them hit it off immediately, so they directly brought him back and sold it to Ah Cai, which saved them all trouble and allowed him to take advantage of it. The money would not go to other people's fields, and they wouldn't dare to cheat anyone.

Seven or eight small wooden boats rowed at the same time, carrying people and cargo. They slowly rocked for ten or twenty minutes before they docked at the pier.

Ye Yaodong's younger brothers were sitting at the door of the workshop looking at the gate. When they saw two large ships coming back from a distance, they had already gone to notify Lin Xiuqing.

So when a bunch of small wooden boats docked, the boys and Ah Qing were waiting at the dock.

Lin Xiuqing's first words when she greeted him were, "Why are you back all of a sudden? You just left at noon yesterday, why are you back this morning?"

"There was thunder and lightning and rain outside, so I came back early. You go to the workshop to check to see if there are any dried fish. Put them away in advance to prevent the rain from drifting directly to the land. It will probably take another turn.

It’s raining on land.”

"Ah? That's it. Then I'll go check it out first and put away what I can."

When Lin Xiuqing heard this, she immediately hurried back to the workshop. Anyway, there were so many people here, and it didn't matter whether she was there or not. There were so many people helping.

Ah Cai had already seen some good goods on the small wooden boat on the shore, and he went over to them with a smile, "Little brother, old man, it's rare to see you guys bring the goods back and not sell them on the way. Today is

Are you taking advantage of me?"

Ye Yaodong did not dislike his messy name and responded with a smile: "It's an advantage for you. Give us a good price. Otherwise, we won't bring it to the shore next time and just sell it at a random dock halfway."

"Oh, let's talk about this. Who among us is following the other? No one can cheat you. I can only eat by relying on the care of the villagers. Come here, come here. I will help you carry it. I will help you carry it. How can I help you?

Is this boat yours? Don’t mix up the goods from the two companies."

"We have enough manpower here. Go and push the scale out first, and then lift it up and weigh it faster."

"Okay, okay...that half black and half gray fish on the boat over there, it looks a bit strange."

Ah Cai had a very sharp eye and had already seen a very large fish on the boat. Seeing that they were not in a hurry to inquire about the price, he asked first and stretched his neck but could not see what kind of fish it was. It was strange.

Before Ye Yaodong could say anything, the fishermen who were already there to help move the goods spoke up first, "This is a hairy fish. The boss's hairy fish is taller than us."

"How much do you charge for this?"

"Yes, how much do you charge for it? The fish is so big, the isinglass may weigh a pound if it is dried. It's top quality."

Ah Cai's eyes widened, "Maoyu? Real or fake? Don't fool me. Is that half black and half gray one a hairy fish?"

"The half-dark area was struck by lightning. I didn't hear it. Did A Dong just say that there was thunder and lightning in the outer sea? That's why their ship came back early."

"I'm going to be a good boy. Show me how big it is. Lift it down first. You guys lift it down first..."

Ah Cai's eyes shone brightly, and he even took a few steps forward. It was only because of the water under his feet that he stopped moving forward, but he also urged them to lift him down first.

"Why are you in a hurry? Let's move slowly. These big baskets of goods will be moved down first. Please give way first and don't block us in front of us and affect our moving of goods."

The boatman and the fishermen helped to speak, and it was not Ye Yaodong's turn to speak.

In fact, what Ye Yaodong wanted to say was that he would not sell it, but he was also curious about the price of this fish. It was so big. How much could it be sold for?

So I just kept quiet, and when I took it down to be weighed, I asked him about the price, and then told him I wasn't selling it.

There will be more cargo on the Harvest, so the Dongsheng's cargo will be weighed first. Ah Cai doesn't think about getting the fish over early, so he will weigh the Dongsheng's cargo first.

The quantity of goods today was indeed relatively small. From night to dawn, a total of only 5 nets were hauled. Only one net was hauled up by Ye Yaodong at dawn, and the others were hauled at night.

Excluding the useless goods thrown into the sea, there are more than 10,000 kilograms in it. If you deduct the worthless groceries, less than half can be sold for money.

The two boys had already loaded the worthless goods on the tractor and were preparing to transport them back to the workshop.

Thousands of kilograms of goods are weighed, not too fast, not too slow. After all, they are all of the same variety and have been sorted. All you have to do is lift the baskets up, and the more miscellaneous goods will be picked out separately at the end.

Over weighing.

The goods list was filled with paper after paper, and finally, after an hour, all the goods were weighed.

"Put a board on it. This fish is too big and the scale can't fit on it."

"Hey, okay..."

The fishermen who had just helped deliver the goods to the shore did not leave even after moving the goods. Their curiosity was not satisfied and they were reluctant to leave. They all gathered around the shore, ready to see how many kilograms the fish weighed? How long was it? How much could it be sold for?

Finally, when all the goods were sold out and this fish was sold, everyone started talking about how much money they could earn in a day to how much this fish was worth.

"The board weighs 5 kilograms. It weighs 157 kilograms. The fish weighs 152 kilograms. It's amazing. I haven't caught such a big fish in recent years. Is this fish valuable? How about I help you find a boss to sell it?

?Commission three points from both ends?"

"How much do you think this fish could fetch?"

Before Ah Cai could start, the fishermen around him were already talking about it.

"It should be at least 500 yuan, right?"

"There should be more than one. The isinglass is very valuable. The most expensive one is this whole piece of isinglass..."

"Seafood is a big deal, let alone this kind of isinglass. I bet that the price of this isinglass would be at least nine taels if it was taken out and dried..."

"Bah, who wouldn't say it? I also said that this isinglass is worth at least nine taels when dried..."

Ah Cai hesitated for a moment and was not sure, "Your fish was struck by lightning and its head was burnt. The fish itself must be discounted, but the value of its isinglass depends on the boss.

How to bid.”

"It's best to call a few more and let them bid, so that you can sell more. After all, the isinglass from this fish is rarer than that of the catfish, and it's just a little worse than the yellow-lip fish."

"Seafood is a big deal, and the bosses love to save face and compete with each other. Whoever buys it can carry it around the street and talk about it in public. To be honest, the rich people in our town have become more and more popular in the past two years.

More and more people are coming, including Taiwanese businessmen."

"Then can you give me an approximate price and range so that I can have an idea?"
