Chapter 5 Surprise Fish
Compared with large fishing boats, it is more common to harvest hundreds of catties each time you drop the net. But for many fishermen who fish inshore, it is very gratifying to be able to catch dozens or hundreds of catties every time they go to the net.
After all, small fishing boats have a limited trawl area and distance, and if there are no fish on the trail, then they will not be able to catch fish. If you want to catch a few hundred catties in one net, it is even more unthinkable.
As the easternmost island from the mainland, the fishermen living on Fulin Island are not without their advantages. At least they fish in the waters where they fish in larger numbers than in other inshore waters.
However, the number of fish is decreasing, and if the inferred course is wrong every time the net is released, it is difficult to catch a large number of fish. In short, the number of fish that can be caught each time you go into the net is naturally less than in the early years.
But looking at the first net that came out today, Xu Licheng looked a little dumbfounded. In his opinion, this situation is clearly wrong. A net dragged hundreds of catties of fish, this situation changed more than ten years ago, it is estimated that it is still possible.
Nowadays, it's really very rare!
"Third uncle, there are a lot of fish! This net should be hundreds of catties! It seems that the third uncle's fishing skills are still very good!"
Hearing Xu Haibao's praise, Xu Licheng also smiled honestly and bitterly: "If I really had such ability, I would have made a fortune a long time ago." I haven't seen so many fish in one net. ”
"Ahh
"It's a blessing to have a hundred pounds. In many cases, the next net is often only able to catch some bits and pieces. It seems that today's net can pull this much, and it is estimated that it is also borrowed from your kid's good luck!"
"Really! I'll just say, my luck has always been quite good! Third uncle, hurry up and bring the box and see what fish there are!"
Xu Haibao did not deny that the third uncle attributed such a bumper harvest to the good luck he brought. After all, this net can catch so much, and I think it is those two drops of pearl water that play a role.
This incident made Xu Haibao more aware that the water in the nameless pearl has an irresistible temptation to fish. If he wants to build an offshore fishing ground in the future, he has no nameless pearl water, and it is estimated that he does not even need to buy fish fry.
As Xu Haibao dragged the fishing net into the fishing boat and untied the tail of the fishing net, the fishy smell that came to his nose still made Xu Haibao feel like he had come to the seafood and fish market. After the net began to shake, the fish in the net also began to jump.
Small yellow croaker, hairtail, mackerel, silver pomfret, moray eel, mackerel, yellow croaker, meagre, squid, pike crab and various shrimps are dazzling. These fish are all relatively common fish in the East China Sea.
Xu Licheng, who was holding a plastic box on the side, looked very happy when he looked at the fish that kept shaking out of the net. Even though these fish are not expensive, the amount looks spectacular!
At this moment, Xu Haibao, who was pouring fish, suddenly lit up and said, "Third uncle, you're going to get rich!"
"What?"
"Look, what is this?"
Even if there were still fish in the net that had not been shaken out, Xu Haibao had already put down the fish net, reached out and pulled out a sea fish that was five or six catties in size and golden in color from the fish pile that was poured out. Seeing this fish, Xu Licheng was also a little dumbfounded.
"Golden Dragon, how is this possible? Quick, show it to me!"
The golden dragon is the common name for this fish, and just from this common name, you can see how rare this fish is. In fact, the scientific name of this fish is 'big yellow croaker', and it is also one of the four major seafood in the East China Sea, but its economic value is undoubtedly the most expensive.
The larger the size of the large yellow croaker, the higher its price. In recent years, even though the East China Sea has implemented a fishing ban, the large yellow croaker that was common in the early years is still very rare. This has also led to its price, which has also skyrocketed.
Taking over the big yellow croaker that was about to take his breath from Xu Haibao's hand, Xu Licheng couldn't help but grin and said: "It seems that your kid is really rich! This fish is at least more than five catties, and it is not a problem to sell it for forty or fifty thousand!"
Xu Haibao, who had also eaten this fish in his early years, did not think that this fish was amazing. But he knows that the big yellow croaker is very rare at the moment, and the big yellow croaker with three catties is even more precious. The value of the large yellow croaker is also related to its weight.
The higher the weight, the higher the price!
"Third uncle, do you plan to auction this fish at the fish market in the town?"
"Yes, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the price of this big yellow croaker is soaring. I used to only see other people's auctions, but I didn't expect me to have this luck! With this fish, I can have a good year this year!"
"Third uncle, this is where I am! I just looked at it, and it seems that there are still a few!"
"What! and?"
As soon as he heard Xu Haibao's words, Xu Licheng suddenly felt a sense of surprise that he was hit on the head by the gold ingot. When Xu Haibao opened the pile of fish, he pulled out three smaller but two or three catties of large yellow croaker from it.
These four large yellow croakers alone, if they are sold at the fish market, I believe it will be enough to make the fishmongers go crazy. As a province with many wealthy people in Jiangnan, many people are not short of money at all, but only the increasingly rare wild yellow croaker!
Looking at these four unexpected gains, Xu Haibao thought for a while and suddenly said, "Third uncle, you plan to take this fish out of the town to auction, how much money can you fetch for it?"
"Sixty or seventy thousand should be fine!"
Although he didn't understand why Xu Haibao asked like this, Xu Licheng thought about it and felt that it should be able to be sold at this price. After all, at present, the big yellow croaker is a situation where there is no market, and once someone catches it, there will be fishmongers to auction and bid for it.
Hearing the price Xu Licheng said, Xu Haibao also said directly: "Third uncle, you put these four fish together, and I will take a photo." I have a comrade-in-arms who runs a big restaurant at home, so I asked him how much he could produce!"
In Xu Haibao's view, it is better to sell the large yellow croaker to the fishmonger than to sell it directly to the hotel. In that case, it will also save the fishmongers a lot of money. Selling this kind of fish is also selling favors in many cases!
Although he didn't understand why Xu Haibao did this, Xu Licheng naturally understood that it was more valuable to sell the fish directly to the hotel. With the four fish laid out on the boat, Xu Haibao took out his mobile phone and quickly took a photo.
Find out the mobile phone number of a comrade-in-arms, Xu Haibao sent the photo over, and attached a sentence 'Make a price'!
Knowing that the preservation of large yellow croaker is very important, in order to maximize the freshness of large yellow croaker, the preservation method is also different from other marine fish. Ignoring the other fish, Xu Licheng began to carefully handle the four 'fish gold'.
Xu Haibao, who felt that he was really lucky today, was just about to put his mobile phone back in his pocket when he heard a pleasant ringtone. Looking at the number displayed on his mobile phone, Xu Haibao knew that the other party must be very excited.
Sure enough, the person on the other end of the mobile phone saw that the mobile phone was connected, and said happily: "Brother Bao, you won't fool me, right?"
"Fatty, friend! It looks like I've found the wrong person! If you don't believe me, then I'll sell it to someone else!"
"Oh my God, Brother Bao, did you really catch those four big yellow croaker?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Lao Tzu is still fishing at sea! This is what I just called, and my third uncle hit me. If you don't want it, we're going to send it to the fish market in town for auction when we're done loading!"
"Don't! Don't! Bao Ye, the small one is wrong, you have a lot of adults, don't keep it for me. I've heard you say before that you've gone out to sea to fish, but I don't believe it. Now it seems that you really grew up in a fishing village!"
Listening to the other party's flattering voice on the mobile phone, Xu Haibao also laughed and scolded: "Okay, fatty, the weight of these four fish has not yet been weighed, but the big one is at least more than five catties." What is the price of this fish, you should know in your heart.
You should know that this fish is also auctioned when it is sent to the fish market. I thought, let the fishmonger sell it for a profit, it might as well sell it to you kid. After all, you should know that this fish is not very common these days.
Give a sincere price, my third uncle rarely has such luck. If you kid is interested, wait tomorrow, I'll get you a few wild groupers of about ten catties. How?"
"Don't worry! Your third uncle is my third uncle, and the price will definitely satisfy you. However, you kid can really get a wild big grouper, and it weighs ten pounds, although this thing is not as valuable as the big yellow croaker, but it is just as rare!"
"You kid is just a chatter! I've been messing around with Lao Tzu for so long, when did I tell a lie?"
"Delle! It's a little mistake! Wait for me in a few minutes, I'll make a few phone calls first, and I'll call you back later!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Haibao told the third uncle about it, and Xu Licheng had no opinion on it. Even in Xu Licheng's opinion, if he has such luck today, he may also be stained with the light of his nephew.
No matter how much this fish can be sold for, Xu Li CD feels that he is half divided with his nephew. After all, the brothers settle the account, and the fish was caught by the two of them together, so it is natural to give half of it to the nephew!
