Chapter 11 Fortune in a muffled voice
After returning to Fulin Island for less than ten days, Xu Haibao also decided to go back to his home in the city. Although he lived a very leisurely life in the village, his mother called and asked him to take time to go home, Xu Haibao naturally didn't dare not listen.
The most important thing is that my sister, who is really loved by thousands of people, has also come home from vacation. Earlier, Xu Haibao had just been discharged from the army, and this baby sister had been clamoring for him to go to the provincial capital to see her.
was originally transferred to a non-commissioned officer, and Xu Haibao also had a family leave. It's a pity that the submarine force he is in is different from the regular submarine force. Most of the time, his unit was tasked with some secret and experimental missions.
It can be said that it is more difficult to take family leave when serving in that unit. As a result, he has been a soldier for five years, even if the army station is not too far from home, Xu Haibao still hasn't returned for five years, which really makes his family complain.
In fact, if it weren't for something wrong in the previous mission, with Xu Haibao's ability to be good at deep diving, it shouldn't be a problem to become a second-class non-commissioned officer. But as far as the officers and men of that unit were concerned, no mistakes were allowed.
Many times, if something goes wrong, it often means a major accident or disaster. Even if Xu Haibao was later transferred to that secret unit, in the three years since he became a non-commissioned officer, he has actually encountered many dangerous situations.
Even if he is now discharged from the army and returned to the local area, the tasks he carried out during his service in the army are still kept secret. If there is a leak of secrets, I believe that the secret management organ of the army will also investigate the responsibility of Xu Haibao for leaking secrets.
As a soldier, Xu Haibao is also very aware of this. For this reason, Xu Haibao never mentioned his service in the secret submarine force to his family. Even his comrade-in-arms Chen Xingcheng didn't know what Xu Haibao's attendance meant.
After all, the naval base where Xu Haibao is located, in addition to submarine forces, also has naval forces. Although stationed together, most of the soldiers who could actually board the boat to carry out the mission were selected through strict political selection before they could get on the boat.
Compared to later generations when there were ferries directly to Fulin Island, Fulin Island has not yet been developed for tourism, and if you want to go to the city, you must first take a fishing boat to the town. Once in town, take a ferry that runs only four times a day to the inland county seat.
In the event of bad SH weather, the ferry may also be suspended. For this reason, many times it is a troublesome thing to go out of the island. Perhaps because of this, many islanders want to move into the city.
Of course, if you don't want to take the ferry in a hurry, you can find a freighter that will sail and you can still go back to the city. It's just that the taste of taking a freighter is naturally much more uncomfortable than taking a passenger ship.
Xu Haibao, who didn't want to squeeze the first ferry with others, had breakfast directly at home, and then entrusted his third uncle to send a trip to the town. As for today, it is rare for the third uncle to decide to take a day off.
Xu Licheng, who was about to start the boat, looked at Xu Haibao, who was carrying foam boxes on the boat, and was also very curious: "Baowa, what's inside?"
As a result, Xu Licheng was a little surprised, Xu Haibao smiled and said: "Promise someone else's things! When you get to the sea, I'll show you again! If you see it, you will definitely be surprised." ”
"What's the matter, it's so mysterious!"
After laughing and scolding, Xu Licheng was not too reluctant. When the fishing boat drove out of the dock, Xu Haibao opened one of the foam boxes and said with a smile: "Third uncle, give you a rising eye, look at my harvest in the past few days!"
When the foam box was opened, I saw that it was full of packaged fish bags. A large foam box even contained two fish, and Xu Licheng was also surprised and said, "This big grouper was caught on the side of Echo Rock?"
In fact, I've been fishing for a few big groupers these days, and I haven't dared to say anything. You're right, there's definitely a grouper's nest underneath Echo Rock.
Yesterday on the ship, didn't you ask me how I promised to send a big grouper to my comrades? Actually, I was asked to raise this big grouper a long time ago, and I was waiting to deal with it together when I returned to the city. It's rare to see such a big wild grouper, right?"
"You kid, a thief!"
Thinking that Xu Haibao had nothing to do in the past few days, he ran to Huiyinyan, and he was able to catch some fish every day. But in the eyes of many villagers, Xu Haibao's harvest is not very good. It's just that who would have thought that Xu Hai treasured private goods.
This situation is also common in fishing villages. Sometimes, when the fisherman finds a place where he can catch a school of fish with relatively high value, he will not tell others where the place is, so as to make more money.
Earlier, people in the village also went fishing at Echo Rock, and occasionally they could catch groupers. But similar to the foam box, this kind of big grouper that looks at least seven or eight pounds is really rare.
If people know that Xu Haibao has such a harvest from fishing in the past few days, it is estimated that many people who are good at fishing will run to join in the fun. After all, a large grouper like this is not cheap if it is sold in the town.
The current price of wild large groupers can reach hundreds of yuan a catty. Although it is not as outrageous as the price of the big yellow croaker, a fish is hundreds or thousands of yuan, which is also a comparable income for many villagers who rely on fishing for a living!
Xu Licheng still agrees with his nephew's practice of making a fortune quietly. After all, the truth that wealth is not revealed has always been the life principle that many ordinary people follow.
Four large foam boxes, even if they contain two in each box, there are at least eight of these large groupers. If you sell it in the city alive, it is estimated that it can be sold for tens of thousands. And Xu Haibao has no expenses at all except for wasting some time.
"Don't be a thief, how can this kind of opportunity to make a fortune be my turn?
Xu Haibao, who was chatting with his third uncle with a smile, naturally didn't dare to tell him the truth. In fact, in the space of the Nameless Pearl, there are dozens of large groupers, waiting to be slaughtered at any time!
Sometimes, Xu Haibao also has some expectations about whether it is possible for those large groupers to produce seeds in the nameless pearl. If it can really produce seeds, maybe in the future, Xu Haibao will not worry about wild groupers at all.
Even Xu Haibao has decided that when he has the opportunity to go to sea in the future, he will find a way to make some live big yellow croaker and receive the nameless pearl to be stocked. In the future, the fish produced in the nameless pearl will also become the top seafood.
Xu Haibao, who has already tasted the taste of grouper farmed in nameless pearl water, can clearly feel that the taste has an irresistible impulse. And this fish seems to have a certain effect on strengthening the body.
The longer it is stocked, the better it tastes. Many times, while Xu Haibao enjoyed these superb seafood delicacies, he could also feel that eating this superb seafood would also help improve his cultivation.
The pier where you take the ferry is not the same as the pier where the fish are sold. In this way, Xu Haibao also saves the trouble of letting people watch the fish around. Once it is known that the foam box contains live large groupers, it is estimated that it will cause a lot of trouble.
Asked the third uncle to help look at the foam box, Xu Haibao bought a ticket for the morning and went through the procedures for consignment of goods. Four foam boxes, because they want to occupy some places, if they don't give money, the boat boss will definitely not be happy.
After buying the tickets, the uncle and nephew carried two boxes by themselves, and they quickly moved the foam boxes to the ferry. For the sake of safety, the foam box was not put into the warehouse, but directly placed in a place where Xu Haibao could see it.
Compared to the first ferry in the morning, it was crowded, and the second train had fewer passengers and not much cargo. After moving the goods, Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Third uncle, it's troublesome, drive slower on the way back." ”
"You know, you still need to teach this. When you get home, send me a text message. Yesterday I called your dad, and I told him about going back to my hometown for the New Year. If your family goes back to the village for the New Year, I will also call my rabbit cub back.
As a family, we haven't celebrated the New Year together for a long time. Although the Chinese New Year in the city is lively, the village is the hometown after all. When you go back this time, you can talk to your parents about it. After all, they have only been back once this year. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of that. As long as Qingya agrees to go back to the village for the New Year, my parents should not object. Of course, the most important thing is that it depends on the weather. If the weather is bad during the Spring Festival, it is estimated that it will be more troublesome. ”
"In that case, let's wait until your parents are on vacation!"
"Good!"
After a brief goodbye, the third uncle quickly got off the boat again. Seeing the third uncle watching the fishing boat leave early, Xu Haibao also quietly waited for the time to start the boat. As for the four foam boxes, he sealed them all tightly with plastic bags.
The grouper inside is packed in a plastic bag filled with oxygen. So it doesn't matter if you seal the foam box tightly. The reason why the foam box is sealed tightly is also to eliminate the possibility of people opening it at will.
When the time for the ferry to depart, after the whistle sounded, the ferry slowly left the dock and headed for the direction of the county. Next, the ferry had to sail for nearly three hours to reach the county seat where Xu Haibao was located.
It is this tedious travel that makes it very troublesome for many villagers living on Fulin Island to sometimes want to enter the city. The time spent going back and forth on the road alone seems to be wasted in the day's work!
