The fish was dragged ashore, and the people on the pier surrounded them.

"Ouch, this big fish, how long has it been since I've seen such a big cobia?"

"Yoko, how did you get it? This big fish has to be trawled and cleaned up, you have a sampan, can you get it up?"

"This fish can't be more than 100 catties? Yangzi, you earned it this time!"

Ao Muyang smiled: "It's just luck, I met it on the beach, and the shallow water blocked me." ”

This is the only reason that can explain that cobia is super athletic in the sea, and the deeper the sea, the more ferocious it is.

However, they are characterized by seasonal migration, spawning in flocks offshore, so that juvenile groups can feed in shallow gravel while avoiding predation by large, carnivorous fish in the deep sea.

In the past, when there were many cobia, fishermen would go to the offshore sea to plug them during their migration season, and there was always a good harvest.

Nowadays, wild cobia are rare, and they are concentrated in tropical waters, and occasionally fish migrate mainly in individuals or small groups, and it is difficult to find out their migration routes, so this trick is not good.

For this reason, it is becoming more and more difficult to catch wild cobia, they do not flock into groups when they return to the deep sea, and most of them live as individuals.

Ao Muyang's fishing method cannot be replicated, after his eyes enter the seawater, his vision is not hindered and affected by the seawater, so he can set a trap for the cobia, and immediately close the net after seeing it fall into the trap.

Even if ordinary people can set up a trap, they can't close the net as soon as it is caught. Cobia react quickly and quickly, and if they are not caught in the first place, they tend to run away.

Looking at the curious onlookers, Ao Muyang patted the fish and said, "Uncle and aunt, this fish is still alive, how rare it is, do you know, who wants to buy it? Just give me a market price." ”

He didn't plan to send it to the Red Ocean Pier, because cobia is a good fish, as the nickname of the tropical salmon attests, but it's not uncommon, because China has already farmed it in captivity.

Ao Muyang was very concerned about the fishing industry when he left his hometown, and he read reports that China farmed the fish in large quantities, producing about 20,000 tons a year between 2006 and 2007!

In Kyoto hotels, the market price of this kind of fish is about 100 yuan per kilogram, but there is definitely no such price in my hometown, and it is estimated that one kilogram in the wholesale market is only 20 or 30 yuan.

However, he is a wild cobia, and the price can be sold a little higher, and it is not a big problem to sell it for about 3,000 yuan overall. In this way, even if you go to Hongyang to sell, you can sell it for an extra four or five hundred yuan at most, and it is not worth wasting this effort and time.

Hearing his words, a young man named Ao Mufeng smiled and said, "Who in our village buys this fish? ”

Ao Muyang said with a smile: "Fengzi, don't you have a fishing house at home? This wild cobia, how big is it, don't you want to buy it back and make a sign?"

That's why he came back, and the fishermen in the village would love this fish, because cobia is a white-fleshed fish with a high oil content, similar to salmon, in fact, it has a nickname of tropical salmon.

This fish is great for sashimi, sushi or sashimi, and can be cooked in many different ways, either hot or cold, and is very popular for its value.

Ao Mufeng really wanted to buy this fish, he said that it was to reduce the price, but Ao Muyang saw it through at a glance, so he smiled dryly: "I have this idea, but I can't afford it." ”

Ao Muyang asked, "How much are you willing to pay?"

Ao Mufeng said: "My family can't eat so much, cobia eats fresh, like salmon, the more you put it, the more it will be finished." The market generally sells for fifteen yuan, can you sell fifteen yuan a catty?"

Hearing this offer, Ao Muyang shook his head: "They are all members of their own families who have not come out of the five suits, it is boring to come to the void, fifteen yuan a pound is a farmed cobia, I am wild, twenty-five pounds." ”

"It's too expensive. Someone next to him immediately smacked his tongue.

Ao Muyang laughed, he said: "Uncle Pen, don't you get cheap and sell well, twenty-five pounds are expensive? I don't have to go to Hongyang, I go to the town dock as soon as I appear, thirty-one pounds are rushing to ask you to believe it or not?"

He looked at the crowd and continued: "This kind of wild army is rare, I want to bring it back to make a name for the fishermen in our village, to be honest, I don't miss the road on the water, if I want to make money, I will go to the town early." ”

An old man with a cigarette pouch in his mouth smiled and said, "The baby of the Qianzheng family is telling the truth. ”

The others laughed, and a few fishermen bought the fish at a price of fifty kilograms.

Ao Muyang's estimate was good, the fish was more than sixty-one kilograms after weighing, and he erased the odds and only needed three thousand yuan, which was in line with expectations.

In this way, a few neighbors save some money, and he collects some good reputation.

After collecting the money and walking back, Ao Fugui came to meet him, and when he saw him, he shouted: "Brother Wo Riyang, why are you back so soon? I heard that you have caught a large army of cobia?

Ao Muyang said angrily: "Speak quietly, your loud voice is louder than the broadcast of the village committee's loudspeaker." It's also a whole meal at night, the whole fart, I ask you, didn't I tell you, don't spread the news that I caught a big lobster. ”

Ao Fugui smiled: "I didn't spread it." ”

Ao Muyang said: "Your mouth is quite hard, you didn't spread the word, a kid on the dock just asked me about the lobster......

"You're talking about the calf? Oh, yes, I think I mentioned that to the calf. Ao Fugui suddenly realized.

Hearing his words, Ao Muyang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Xiao Niu, that child is Xiao Niu, the son of Brother Dazhi's family?"

Brother Dazhi's full name is Ao Muzhi, and Ao Muyang is the same generation, he is old, he was the king of children when he was a child, Ao Muyang, Ao Fugui and Ao Mufeng, who just bought cobia, all played with him.

But he is no longer here, the ocean storm six years ago swallowed not only Ao Muyang's parents, but also Ao Muzhi and several others, they are all people who followed Ao Muyang's parents to the sea.

That was a painful past that Ao Muyang had been reluctant to look back on, when his parents had just bought a small-tonnage fishing boat and wanted to go to the deep water area to make a living, but they didn't go to sea a few times, and all the people and boats were lost!

This accident destroyed not only Ao Muyang's family, but also several other families, Ao Muzhi's family was particularly badly injured, his wife has been in poor health, and his son has just been preparing to enter primary school.

The reason why Ao Muyang left away from home is that he has no face to face these villagers who wanted to get rich with his parents but gave their lives, even if the villagers are very good, no one comes to trouble his family, and no one embarrass him as an orphan.

Thinking of the sun-tanned face and skin of the young man on the pier, and the embarrassed and inferior smile that the young man showed after being treated indifferently by him, Ao Muyang suddenly fell silent.

He licked his lips and said, "Brother Dazhi's house hasn't moved, sister-in-law hasn't remarried, and does he still live in the east of the village with Xiaoniu?"

Ao Fugui nodded, and Ao Muyang said, "Okay, I know." ”
