Chapter 114 Only those who love to fight will win
Ah Cai praised with a smile on his face, "It's amazing that you can catch such a big fish! I'll call more and ask to see which restaurant has the best value."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Can't we just call Hongsheng and ask?"
The Hongsheng Hotel was the largest in the town and carried out the most business. After doing business a few times, he had a good impression of the prince, how generous he was!
"No, after the big croaker was bought by Prince Hongsheng last time, other restaurants I knew well said that I was dishonest and didn't notify them, and told me to inform them next time I have something good. I can't buy it.
The purchase is their business, not notifying me is my problem."
"Then you do it. It would be good if there are more people bidding. There are still good things on the boat, so we can pick them up."
Ah Cai's hand while flipping through the phone book suddenly stopped, and he looked at them in surprise, "What other good things are there? What other good things are there? How is it better than this big dragon?"
A Guang said proudly: "It's no worse than it. Just wait, we'll go lift it right now."
"What is it?"
"You'll know later when you see it."
After the two of them finished speaking, they walked back to the shore. A group of good-hearted people heard this and followed them, asking, "What else is there? Did you get a good harvest this time?"
"Is it still a grouper? Or something big?"
After the two people excused themselves perfunctorily, they got on the boat one after another, intending to lift the basket of saury fish off first. However, as soon as they got on the boat, they saw one fish fell on the deck, and it was more than one meter away from the basket.
.
Ye Yaodong bent down and picked it up, frowning and saying, "Has someone boarded our ship?"
Otherwise, how can we explain that the swordfish fell on the deck and was still so far away from the basket? Even if it was alive, it would not be able to jump this far.
"Is there a thief?"
Ye Yaodong thought for a while. When he just came over, he seemed to see a man wearing only short sleeves and his coat balled up in his hands as he hurriedly walked ashore towards the path.
In case he was wronged, he went to the swordfish basket and looked at it. There were obviously fewer fish in the originally full basket.
"It seems less?"
"It must have been stolen. You are here watching. I seemed to have seen someone just now. I will go down and take a look."
"who is it?"
"I just looked at the back of my head, but I didn't see it clearly. You should watch here first, and don't let anyone take you away again."
As he talked, he got off the boat. People on the shore were waiting to see what other goodies there were, but they saw him getting off the boat alone with a foul look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened? Did you have a fight?"
"Our fish has been stolen. Please help me look for it. Someone seemed to have walked toward that path just now." After saying that, he ran quickly. He had to catch up quickly to avoid being run away.
The path is a long dirt road with a slight twist, but you can still see from the beginning to the end.
The man was probably afraid of arousing suspicion, so he didn't start running, but walked quickly. Ye Yaodong didn't waste much time before he ran out and saw him at a glance.
Feeling the running movement behind him, the man panicked and started running quickly. Only then did Ye Yaodong say, "There is a thief, don't run~"
The more he shouted, the faster the thief ran.
"The one who rides on the horse~"
Human potential is endless. His legs would be so sore after walking for an hour, but at this moment he was able to explode and actually shorten the distance to catch up with him at an extremely fast speed.
However, he was almost caught up with him, but the thief quickly turned around and pushed him to the side, causing him to stumble and put his hands on the ground.
As a result, the thief himself slipped on the stones under his feet when he was running quickly, and he was thrown into a dog's excrement. The clothes in his hands were thrown out, and swordfish fell all over the ground. At the same time, a scream suddenly sounded.
A fall on such a gravel road would be serious. For such a big person, the center of gravity would fall directly, and blood would immediately appear on the palms and knees.
Seeing this, Ye Yaodong rushed forward and stepped on his back, and then stepped hard twice, "A grass mud horse, you can run so well, and you dare to push me, I almost let you run away!"
The person at his feet groaned twice, struggling to get up but unable to get up.
At this time, Aguang also ran over, followed by two meddling people, "Caught him?"
"Didn't I ask you to watch from the boat? What if someone takes me away again?"
"I took the basket of saury off the boat and took it to Ah Cai. It doesn't matter if we put the other fish on the boat. There are people at the dock watching over us."
"That's good, you go pick up the fish on the ground first."
"Let me first see who is so bold and dares to steal our fish!" A Guang directly grabbed his short hair and lifted his head up, "Oh, it's Ah Wei's brother-in-law."
The two people who were following him also pointed at Ah Wei's brother-in-law, "Oh~ why is it him..."
Ye Yaodong checked it carefully and found that it seemed to be real.
"Don't let him go yet. Take him to the dock. Let's weigh the goods and ask someone to help notify his family to come and pick them up."
Ye Yaodong grabbed his collar and said, "Okay, or we can send him home after the scale is over and let's talk by the way."
The three-swordfish is not cheap. Although the theft was attempted, and it is Awei's brother-in-law, it is not easy to give him a beating, but an apology is necessary, right? He looks very young, and he is still doing such things as stealing.
When Ah Guang picked up the fish and wrapped it up in his clothes, Ye Yaodong grabbed him by the collar and was about to walk to the dock, but was pushed again, and Ah Wei's brother-in-law took the opportunity to turn around and run away.
"Fuck~ this bastard."
A Guang stopped him and said, "Stop chasing him. Everyone has seen it anyway. We are not wronging him. We still have the clothes in our hands and will deliver them to him later."
"It's really disappointing. It's such a happy thing. It's annoying. I'll go to his house later."
The two of them cursed and walked back to the dock.
Two other good-hearted people also followed and muttered: "It's outrageous to steal fish even when it's on the boat. This three-swordfish is quite valuable."
"Yes, these are not just a few fruits on the tree that you can pick and play secretly. This is a rare fish that you need to come and talk to the adults at home..."
As soon as Ye Yaodong and A Guang walked back to the dock, everyone asked: "Have you caught anyone? How much was stolen?"
"They ran away, but the fish came back after them. There were more than a dozen of them. Thank you everyone for helping to watch the boat. Let's go to the boat first to unload other goods."
After all the goods were moved off the boat, they cleaned the dozen saury fish at Ah Cai's place, threw them into a basket and weighed them together.
Ah Cai was also there cursing, "Who is so desperate? The goods were stolen before they could be unloaded on the ship."
"Weigh it first, we are in a hurry."
"Wait a minute, we haven't said how much it will cost yet?"
"Don't worry, I can't blame you. I just made three or four phone calls and told you that there are big dragons and saury fish. They will come over to see them soon. The one with the highest price will get it, and I will earn you a referral fee."
"That's pretty much it!"
"Excluding the weight of the basket, the three saury fish weighs 22 kilograms. You are really good. All the good stuff has gone into your net. This three saury fish costs 8 yuan per kilogram."
The clouds on their faces suddenly turned sunny again, "Weigh the others too."
Ye Yaodong puts the goods in his cage separately. It belongs to him alone, so he has to weigh and bill separately.
After everything was weighed, Ye Yaodong put the two lists in his pocket, and then waited at the dock for people to come from the town's restaurant.
There are quite a few restaurants in their port town, but there are only two or three large ones.
Not long after the accounts were settled, a boss from the town came over to see the fish.
The first person who came said the price and wanted to take it away directly. But they stopped him and said that there were other people who wanted to see the goods. The one with the highest price would get it, so he waited regretfully.
After people arrived one after another, before Ah Cai could say anything, the three bosses started arguing among themselves, each one holding his neck and shouting.
It is really rare for a giant dragon to be so big. You may not be able to catch it for several years. Occasionally, fishing boats catch it, but it is not this big. They are all knowledgeable people, and there is no need for them to brag. The three bosses are competing there themselves.
.
There are occasionally ocean-going ships docking to catch triple swordfish, but ocean-going ships rarely dock after being there for several months, and fishing wells and piers are also rare.
The three of them argued hard, while the others watched and waited for the result.
Ye Yaodong thinks this is good. They raise the price themselves without having to waste any words. For restaurants, only good products can attract gourmets. There are many wealthy bosses in port towns.
In the end, Wang Maoquan from Hongfa paid 550 yuan for the 190-pound giant dragonfish, while the saury fish was divided equally among them at 8.5 pounds per pound. Otherwise, no one would return empty-handed.
Once the price was discussed, everyone was shocked. Ye Yaodong and A Guang made more than 700 yuan for these two kinds of fish alone, not counting other goods. If other goods were included, they made more than 800 yuan for this trip.
Everyone looked at them with envy and jealousy.
Ye Yaodong quickly exaggerated the power of the storm at sea, lest everyone think that he was making money easily, but they had taken a big risk!
"When we just finished dragging a net, the waves rushed up more than ten meters high one after another, and the waves splashed on the deck. We almost didn't have time to run..."
"No, the boat was swaying. We could only squat there and couldn't stand. We almost capsized. Fortunately, we saw the opportunity quickly and didn't pull up the last net, so we ran quickly and reached the inland sea. There were no waves.
I just pulled it up, but I didn’t expect that there was a big dragon standing inside..."
Ah Cai smiled and praised, "Sure enough, only young people dare to work hard. How can these older people in the village dare to go to sea when a typhoon is coming? Is it because they think their lives are too long?"
"We just got lucky for a while."
Wang Maoquan said with a smile: "You will win only if you love to work hard. It is right for young people to dare to venture and fight hard. Call me and let me know if you have good products next time. Our boss is very generous."
"You can also tell me that as long as the product is good, the price is negotiable."
"Yes, let me know if you have something good."
The other two people also followed suit.
"Okay, okay, thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work." Ye Yaodong smiled and greeted politely.
