Chapter 296 Eat chicken tomorrow
If someone else had such a big thing happened at sea, he would definitely choose to return to Hong Kong to rest as soon as possible. But for Zhuang Haiyang and his party, they had an open talk, and all their comrades felt that this matter was not as serious as they imagined.
If you really want to return early, it will easily arouse others' curiosity. Moreover, there is no harvest in this diving salvage, so you can't even ignore the empty water tank, right? Stay for two more days and occasionally work overtime, and you can still return as usual.
What excited the comrades was that when they felt that this time they went out to sea, they still had normal harvests as usual. When they went down the trawl for the last time, they looked at the sea fish that were pouring on the deck, all of their comrades' breathing became obviously faster.
"Hold a grass! Those piles of fish are big yellow croakers, right?"
"So many big yellow croakers, it seems that it will be difficult for us not to get rich this time!"
"Ocean, you're so awesome!"
Seeing the fish caught by the trawl, there were many golden figures, who were no longer comrades of the rookie crew, so naturally they knew what this figure meant. Although they had fished it before, the number did not seem to be so large.
Facing the thumbs up by his comrades, Zhuang Haiyang, who had just come up from the sea, smiled and said, "Don't be cool! Hurry up and pick fish! Lao Wang, drive the boat! With this batch of fishing goods, we are back with a full load."
"Okay! Get the boat!"
"Old Wu, let's pick a few big yellow croaker with a different taste. We will use it to make dinner. Although I had eaten it the last time, you all said that I didn't feel satisfied. Then this time, you can pick a few more and try to make everyone have enough food."
Listening to what Zhuang Haiyang said, the other comrades also smiled and said, "Eat enough! This is not fish, but money! Old Wu, don't listen to him. If you have good looks, put them all in the freezer compartment and taste them fresh, don't waste it."
"That's right! I support this! Haiyang is too extravagant and wasteful. When my sister-in-law comes back next time, she will sue him!"
"Yeah! I think it's OK!"
It was clearly to reward these comrades, but in the end they were criticized by their comrades. Everyone laughed at this result, but Zhuang Haiyang could only shake his head helplessly and rejected the previous suggestions.
In fact, people who have been fishing at sea all year round really value the so-called big yellow croaker, not its deliciousness. Some of these freshly salvaged seafood taste very delicious.
It is okay to taste some fresh food occasionally, but if you really want to eat enough, your comrades still think it is too wasteful. The public is angry, and Zhuang Haiyang can only respect the choices of his comrades. In his eyes, the big yellow croaker is just that, it is just seafood with a slightly better taste.
At night, the salvage boat was safely docked at the Nanshan Island Wharf. Seeing Zhou Hongjie who came to pick up the boat, Zhuang Haiyang also handed a box over and ordered: "Hongjie, steam two fish tonight, and let my sister-in-law and girl taste it."
"Okay!"
But when he learned that the so-called fish that was tasting fresh was big yellow croaker, he said speechlessly: "Don't this fish be sold?"
"This kind of fish should be caught occasionally whenever you go to sea. This is the first time that big yellow croaker has been caught this year, and I know the little girl loves it. We have eaten it on the boat, and you can try it with two steamed ones, so Ayi shouldn't have eaten it, right?"
Awayi, who was standing next to her boyfriend, heard Zhuang Haiyang mention him and nodded honestly: "No! But, this kind of fish should be very expensive, right? I'm fine, as long as the seafood that can fill my stomach, I like to eat it."
Instead, Lin Zitao took the conversation and said, "Ayi, do you know how much it can be sold for such a fish?"
"How many?"
"Just like this big yellow croaker, one is higher than your salary and bonus in the previous month!"
"Ah! It's so valuable! Then forget it! Let's sell it! I think other seafood tastes good too!"
Seeing Awayi shaking her head quickly, Zhuang Haiyang ignored it and hugged the little girl and said, "Mengmeng, is this fish beautiful?"
"Yeah! It's yellow, it looks so good!"
"So you want to eat it? You've eaten it before, it's as delicious as prawns!"
"I think! Uncle, but it was born!"
After listening to what the girl said, Zhuang Haiyang said, "Hongjie, have you heard it? Our little princess said that she wants to eat cooked ones. So, as I said, steam two pieces, you can try the rest. Let's wait until the concubine comes back two days later."
Seeing that Zhuang Haiyang was finalized, others couldn't say anything. Instead, Lin Xin seemed to know the boss's personality. She held her daughter and said helplessly: "You little foodie, you really know how to choose delicious food!"
"Well! Mom, it's delicious! Have something delicious to eat at night!"
Such innocent and childlike words also made everyone laugh. After getting some seafood used to make dry goods, the salvage boat set sail again and headed towards the town again. On the way, Zhuang Haiyang also called the fishermen.
When Chen Xingwang learned that Zhuang Haiyang had salvaged hundreds of big yellow croakers this time, he said in surprise: "You boy, what luck!"
"Fortunately! Uncle, every time I go to the Sea King's Temple to burn incense!"
After learning about the figures Chen Xingwang needs, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Uncle, if that's the case, then I'll give some to other fishermen. I'll inform them later and prepare the insulated box. I'll ask you to come forward for the bargaining matter."
"Okay! Logically speaking, it's enough to get so many big yellow croakers for auction. But I know, you guys think it's troublesome, and those fishermen are not bad at all. There should be no problem with eating the batch of big yellow croakers in your hand. I'll tell them about this."
Sure enough, other fishermen who received the call learned that Zhuang Haiyang had caught so many big yellow croakers, and they all pleased them on the phone: "Brother Zhuang, no matter what, I will give me more!"
"Don't worry! You are all my old customers. If you have good things, you will definitely think of you. I told Uncle Chen before that he will not ask for too much goods this time. So, I believe there are a lot of big yellow croaker left for you to buy.
We have dealt so many times, so I won’t do anything about auctions. You have to negotiate a price first. If you think it’s OK, I will sell this batch of yellow croaker to you. If the price is not appropriate, I can only send it to the island for auction."
"That's possible! Don't worry, I'm sure there is no problem with what price the big yellow croaker has to offer."
All fishermen said that they would not deliberately lower the price just because the number of big yellow croakers is large. In fact, they only need to make a few calls to such a batch of big yellow croakers, and believe that their customers will rush to buy them. Wild big yellow croakers are never too many!
When the salvage boat was docked at the fishing market wharf that was traded before, looking at Zhao Penglin who came out with Chen Xingwang, Zhuang Haiyang was also surprised: "Uncle Zhao, why are you here too? You should have rested at this point, right?"
"I woke up by this guy's phone call! I heard that you've gotten rich again this time, so I came here to join in the fun. How about it? Boss Zhuang, Chenghui also sold me a few big yellow croaker this time. How about it?"
"Uncle Zhao, even if you don't say it, I will give you a few. Buy it and slap me in the face!"
The other fishermen did not dare to interrupt when they heard the conversation between the two. The reason was very simple. As locals, they knew very well who Zhao Penglin was. Compared with the business they did, the business they did was simply incomparable!
After chatting, Zhao Penglin also said directly: "Although we can eat the big yellow croaker every year, this time, I plan to give gifts to some old friends. Later, you can pick me twenty fish of good quality and similar weight. Is it okay?"
"No problem! Although this batch of yellow croaker weighs a lot, most of them weigh two or three kilograms. They are used for steaming. I think it tastes good. However, there are not so many insulated boxes on the boat, so I'm afraid I'll have to help Uncle Chen."
"Don't worry, this matter is still something you can say! Hurry up, let's take a look at the fish!"
When Zhuang Haiyang opened the frozen and fresh-keeping cabin and saw the big yellow croaker neatly placed inside, everyone felt like they were looking at the gold bars in the vault. But in the end, Zhao Penglin and Chen Xingwang chose the fish first, while others bought the rest.
Fortunately, there are many yellow croakers in the fresh-keeping cabin. As long as the two of them don’t buy them in packages, they will definitely get a few. In fact, Zhao Penglin also knew that these fish were popular and did not compete with the fishermen for business too much.
In addition to the big yellow croaker that Zhao Penglin came here to buy, Zhuang Haiyang also installed one of the largest ones directly on the car. In terms of nutrition, the fish bladder of this big yellow croaker is actually very nutritious.
Facing Zhuang Haiyang's forced thrust, Zhao Penglin also smiled and said, "When you see this fish, your aunt will probably be worried again!"
"With Uncle Chen, the chef, you can just ask him to help deal with it. Aunt, please stop asking her to work hard!"
After retorting, Zhao Penglin said speechlessly: "Okay, it's too late today, so I won't invite you to visit. If it's okay tomorrow, you can come to my house. Some friends will come here too!"
"Can you not go?"
"You kid, you have invited so many guests and don't even show your face. It's not good. Although my old face is still effective now, who can guarantee what will happen in the future? Some things will eventually depend on you young people in the future."
"Okay! Since uncle said that, it would be a bit ungrateful if I didn't come. At that time, I'll bring some local specialties, so you shouldn't dislike it!"
"What do you think! Those guys are more picky than me! Compared to giving this fish, I think they will be happier if you give a chicken. Those guys have come to my house to taste the taste of your local chicken, and they are clamoring to eat chicken every day!"
Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "I will definitely not be able to bear it if I change to someone else. But since I am Uncle Zhao's friend, it is still okay to make an exception once a while. Then I'll make sure that it's good luck and eat chicken tomorrow!"
"You boy, okay! Then remember to come early tomorrow!"
Looking at the car going away, Zhuang Haiyang gradually realized that some things must be faced and taken on by them even if they were not what he wanted. Unless he was really willing to give up his current life, he would have to adapt and participate in such social occasions.
Although he had a headache, he finally smiled and said, "It's just a meal, maybe there's no need to have such a headache!"
