When the fishermen on the boat approached, they greeted them one after another, and asked them why they came back early.

Only then did they know that after a day and a night, there had been no rain or thunder and lightning in the village, and the bad weather was only in the open sea.

After Father Ye explained to them with a smile, everyone moved all the goods on the boat to the small boat.

As for the hairy carp in the main event, it was only carried out by him and Chen Shi at the end.

At a glance, the old fishermen present all exclaimed.

"Wow, such a big fish?"

"What kind of fish is this, so big? Oops, how is the fish head black? So weird? It's been a long time since I've seen a fish this big. ”

"This fish looks taller than a human, taller than Adong, right?"

"There are those who are taller than you, but they are taller than me...... Seems like a little bit? I'll go home and compare it later. Ye Yaodong was also full of smiles.

It was dark when he got it up last night, it was still raining, and there was thunder and lightning, and he didn't have the heart to lift it up for comparison, and it was not easy to take pictures in the rain and night.

When you carry it home, you can take a picture by the way, and then ask someone to help lift the fish up and put it next to him to compare his height.

Of course, such a big hairy mackerel has to be photographed, and you have to take a picture of yourself, and then take out the preserved fish glue later, proudly saying that he dried it, and it was produced from this fish.

Oops~ Just thinking about it is enough to be proud~

The AK on the corner of his mouth was hard to suppress.

"What kind of fish is this, such a big one?"

Father Ye smiled proudly and said loudly: "This is a hairy fish, hairy carp, it is expensive, it weighs more than 100 catties, and it has to be carried by two people to carry it." ”

"Hairy fish? I'm going, it's a hairy fish, isn't it, I let you catch such a big hairy fish, oh my God......"

"Boom~Such a big hairy fish~"

"Is it hairy fish? It's so big, how much is it worth? I'm a good ......."

"This fish head is black, is it a hairy fish? Did you admit your mistake? Haven't seen anything like this? ”

The fishermen in the surrounding small boats were all there to exclaim and talk, even the boatmen on the Harvest were also there, they didn't know that the Dongsheng had caught such a hairy fish at night.

Father Ye happily hurriedly explained, "There has been lightning and thunder in the open sea at night, and we panicked and wanted to come back directly, but we saw a fish jumping out of the water and happened to be struck by thunder." ”

"I didn't look carefully, but I saw a shadow, and the fish floated to the side of our fishing boat, and I saw it when I stood on the helm, and then quickly called Dongzi to salvage it."

"Originally, I just thought that this big fish had already floated to the side, just catch it to see what kind of fish it was, and see if it could be sold for more money, who knew that it would be a hairy fish when I caught it, and all of us were shocked."

Father Ye stood on top of the Dongsheng and talked eloquently, and the others were loaded with goods on the ship, and they were not willing to leave, and they were still standing there listening.

Pei's father stood on the boat with thick dark circles under his eyes, his face was tired but envious, and he didn't call the old fisherman to immediately rock the oar to the shore, wanting to hear for a while how he caught it.

"The black top of its fish head was struck by lightning, and we didn't distinguish it at first, but we only saw it clearly when we fished it up......"

"I'm rich, this fish is worth a lot, and the fish gelatin in the stomach is estimated to be forty or fifty centimeters long, right? The best! ”

"Yes, fortunately, the head of this fish was split, and other fish were split and it was worthless, this fish is fine, the fish glue in it is still good, and it is always valuable."

"I'll have to ask Ah Cai later, talk more about the price, sell it for more money, I haven't seen this good thing for many years, I saw it 10 years ago, but it's not so big."

As soon as he talked about selling money, Father Ye was full of depression, and he was not interested in bragging.

No matter how valuable things are, they have to be sold for cash before they can be called earned, otherwise, how can they be called earned when they are put in their hands? Then smash it in your hands.

"Okay, okay, put the fish, let's hurry to the shore, toss all night, everyone hasn't rested well, hurry up and dock first, sell these goods first."

Ye Yaodong wanted to see if it was raining at home, and was in a hurry to come back from the shore, Pei's father stayed up day and night, and he didn't want to toss the goods on the way, it would take several hours to toss and turn it casually.

So the two hit it off, and directly pulled it back and sold it to Ah Cai, and they all saved trouble, and by the way, let him take advantage of it, the fertilizer and water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, and he didn't dare to pit people.

Seven or eight small wooden boats rowed at the same time, carrying people and goods, and slowly rocked for ten or twenty minutes before landing at the dock.

Ye Yaodong's younger brothers were originally sitting at the door of the workshop looking at the gate, and when they saw the two big boats coming back from afar, they had already gone to inform Lin Xiuqing.

So when a bunch of small wooden boats docked, the younger brothers and Ah Qing were waiting by the dock.

Lin Xiuqing's first sentence was also, "Why did you come back suddenly?" I just left yesterday at noon, why did I come back this morning? ”

"There is thunder and lightning in the open sea, and it is raining, so I will come back early, you go to the workshop to check and see if there are any dried fish, and put them away in advance, so that the rain will not drift directly to the land, and it will probably be the turn of rain on the land."

"Huh? In this case, then I'll check it first, and put it away if I can collect it. ”

When Lin Xiuqing heard this, she immediately hurried to the workshop again, anyway, there are so many people here, it doesn't matter if she is there or not, there are so many people helping.

Ah Cai had already seen some good goods on the small wooden boat on the shore, and he came up with a smile, "Little brother, old buddy, it's rare to see you bring the goods back, you didn't sell them halfway, are you going to cheapen me today?" ”

Ye Yaodong didn't dislike his messy title, and responded with a smile: "It's cheaper for you, give us a good price, otherwise, next time you won't take the shore, and you will sell it directly on a dock halfway." ”

"Alas, speaking of this, who of us is with whom, no one can pit you, I can rely on the villagers to take care of it to eat, come and come, I will help you carry, help you carry, which boats are your family? Don't get confused with the goods of the two. ”

"We have enough people here, you go and push the scales out first, and pass the scales faster as you lift them."

"Good, good...... What kind of fish is that half black and half gray on the boat over there, it looks a little strange. ”

Ah Cai's eyes were very poisonous, and he had already seen an oversized fish on the boat, and seeing that they were not in a hurry to inquire about the price, he asked questions first, and stretched his neck and didn't see what kind of fish it was, which was strange.

Without waiting for Ye Yaodong to speak, the fishermen who were already there to help move the goods spoke first, "This is hairy fish, the eldest hairy fish, they are all taller than us." ”

"How much do you charge?"

"yes, how much do you charge? The fish boss is big, and the fish gelatin may be able to have a pound when it is sunburned, which is the best. ”

Ah Cai's eyes widened, "Hairy carp? Really? Don't you scare me, that half-black and half-gray hairy fish? ”

"That half of the black place was struck by lightning, didn't you hear it, just now Ah Dong said that there was thunder and lightning in the open sea? That's why they came back early. ”

"I'll be obedient, show me how big it is, lift it down first, you carry it down first......"

Ah Cai's eyes lit up, and they all took a few steps forward, only because of the water under their feet that they did not continue to move forward, but also urged them to carry it down first.

"What's the hurry, move slowly, this basket of big goods will be moved down first, you let go first, don't block in front of you, affect our moving goods."

The words were all told by the boatmen and the fishermen, but it was not Ye Yaodong's turn to open his mouth.

Actually, what Ye Yaodong wants to say is that he won't sell it, but he is also curious about the price of this fish, which is so big, I don't know how much it can be sold?

So just don't squeak, and when you will lift it down and pass the scale, ask about the price by the way, and then tell him that you don't sell it.

There will be a little more goods in the harvest, so the goods of the Dongsheng will be weighed first, and Ah Cai should not think about holding up the fish as soon as possible, so he will call the goods first to Dongsheng.

The number of goods today is indeed relatively small, from night to dawn, a total of 5 nets were dragged, only one net was pulled up by Ye Yaodong at dawn, and the others were dragged at night.

Remove the goods that are not used to throw into the sea, there are more than 10,000 catties here, and after deducting the worthless groceries, only less than half of them can be sold for money.

The two younger brothers had already loaded the worthless goods on the vacant land onto the tractor, ready to transport them back to the workshop first.

Thousands of pounds of goods are weighed, said fast is not fast, said slow is not much slow, after all, they are all the same variety, has been divided, as long as a basket is lifted up, to the end of the more miscellaneous goods and then separately picked out and weighed.

The manifest was written on one piece of paper after another, and the columns were full, and finally after an hour, all the goods were weighed.

"Take a board and put it on the mat, this fish is too big to fit on the scale."

"Hey, it's ......"

The fishermen who had just helped deliver the goods did not leave after moving the goods, their curiosity was not satisfied, how could they be willing to leave, they all gathered around the shore, ready to see how many catties the fish was? How long? How much can it be sold for?

Finally waited until all the goods were gone. After this fish, everyone also talked about how much money they could earn a day to how much the fish could be worth.

"The plank is 5 catties, 157 catties after weighing, and the fish is 152 catties, which is amazing, I have never caught such a big hairy fish in recent years, this fish is worth a lot? How about I help you find a boss to sell? Three points for two rakes? ”

"How much do you think this fish can sell for?"

Before Ah Cai started, the surrounding fishermen had already started to talk about it.

"At least 500 bucks, right?"

"It should be more than that, the fish gelatin is always valuable, and the most expensive is this whole fish gelatin......"

"Seafood is eaten in a big word, not to mention this fish gelatin, I bet this fish gelatin is taken out and dried at least more than nine taels......"

"Phew, who wouldn't say, I also said that this fish gelatin has been dried for at least nine taels ......"

Ah Cai hesitated for a moment, and he was not sure, "Your fish was struck by a thunderbolt, and the head of the fish is burnt, the fish itself must be discounted, but its fish gelatin is valuable, and the key depends on how the boss bids." ”

"It's best to ask a few more for them to bid, so that they can sell a little more, after all, the gelatin of this fish is rarer than eel, and it is a little worse than yellow-lipped fish."

"Seafood is a big word, the bosses also love face and love competition, if anyone buys it, carry it around on the street, and say that they have face, to be honest, there are more and more rich people in our town in the past two years, and there are Taiwanese businessmen."

"Then can you give me a rough estimate and a range, so that I know in my heart?"

"The minimum guarantee is 500, if it is more, it may be 800, in case they compete for popularity, there are Taiwanese businessmen, and it is very possible to have 1,000 yuan." Ah Cai gave him a rough idea.

As soon as the words came out, the crowd became a sensation, and everyone's mouths opened wide.

"Ahh A thousand! ”

"Oh my God, this fish sells for 1,000 yuan? Really? Get rich! ”

"Hey, shouldn't the God of Wealth also be surnamed Ye? Oh my God, a fish sells for 1,000 yuan, I can't even think about it, this is too powerful, what kind of luck is this? ”

"That's right, a fish sells for 1,000 yuan, and I don't have to dry it for a year."

"How come I haven't met with such a good thing? Can you still pick up a fish that has been struck by lightning at sea? ”

"I'll be obedient, where is this fish, this food is money, who can afford to eat?"

"That's a scary price, isn't it? Just now, everyone just talked about it, and I didn't expect it to be worth so much money! I really don't have to do it, I'm rich, how come I haven't encountered such a good thing. ”

"Hey, it is said that rich people are richer the richer, this is not wrong at all, you look at the three sons of Ye Laosan's family, each of them is powerful, each of them is rich, can you imagine that his family can be so rich a few years ago?"

"Adong, tell me quickly, how you usually put on incense, how to worship the gods, teach me, and I will learn from you."

"Yes, yes, let's learn from you, and let us make a fortune."

Everyone is envious, this price is really scary enough, it can make them not have to dry for a year, and a fish is worth a year.

Ah Cai also smiled and said, "I'll ask someone to help me pass the scales here first, go and make a phone call?" ”

"And how much would this fish be worth without gelatin?"

"Then it won't sell for much, at most because it's big, it's worth a few dollars, after all, the fish head is still burnt, if you sell it, you will definitely sell it together."

"Forget it", he beckoned Chen Shi and his father, "Carry it home, dad." ”

Father Ye asked with regret on his face: "It's really not for sale?" ”

"Not for sale!"

Ah Cai glared, and hurriedly stopped in front of Father Ye, "Wait, wait, why don't you sell it?" How expensive is this fish, you still don't sell this fish after a year? I didn't ask you for a price, I was for you to sell, take a commission, and I didn't lower the price...... If you want me to smoke too much, let me smoke a little less, two points will do, right? ”

"I don't sell ......"

"One point, just one point, the lowest, you can't let me do it for nothing, just one point, I'll help you ...... right away"

"No, I don't sell it, this fish gelatin is so big, so rare, I want to keep it home."

"Ahh

Ah Cai was surprised and disappointed.

As long as he keeps it for himself, then he really has nothing to say, he wants to keep the fish he catches by himself.

"Alas, Mazu has made you earn too much, and the God of Wealth has helped you earn money. I won't let you earn it, damn it, such an expensive fish still has to be kept at home, and it won't be sold? it, I'm so envious. ”

"You've made enough, not bad money. People are really angry compared to people, it's only been a few years, you can eat hairy catfish? Thousands of pieces of fish said to stay home to eat? I'm so angry, when will the God of Wealth take a look at me? ”

Ah Cai was left home by his sentence, and he was scolded and envious, poverty simply limited his imagination, and he didn't expect Ye Yaodong to stay home to eat.

Ye Yaodong didn't say that he would stay home to eat, but he was right when he said so, he might have eaten it, or he might not have eaten it, and he would collect it.

Then let's eat it directly, so as not to have too many good things and attract people's attention, although he is now a big man, but he can also have fewer shameless people to come to the door.

The thief who should be provoked will not be worried because he has one less good thing, but the shameless relatives can be less troublesome because he has one less good thing.

This fish gelatin is good for children, good for growing the body, everyone knows, lest there is really moral kidnapping, you can't imagine how thick the human skin is.

"It's a pity, it's really not for sale?" Father Pei also asked Father Ye with regret on his face.

Father Ye was also very uncomfortable in his heart, "My son's wings are stiff, what I say as a father is useless, and he won't listen to me, this fish is also caught by him, if I catch it, where is his turn to speak, he will definitely have to listen to me, and sell it immediately." ”

"Tell me more? Hundreds or thousands of dollars of things, can't just be wasted, what can't be eaten, you have to eat such expensive fish? ”

"I've said it, I've spoken it hundreds of times on the ship, and if you don't listen to me, you still think I'm verbose, then I'm not in the same place."

"Hehe, fortunately, Adong now has a thick background, well, if he doesn't sell it, it's not so difficult to accept that he is distressed."

"That's what I said, otherwise, if you tie him up and beat him to death with a whip, you will have to secretly take it and sell it."

"Hehe, if you really slaughter yourself and eat it, don't forget to leave me a mouthful of meat, fish gelatin is not expected in this life, but fish meat can be divided into two bites for me."

Father Ye also smiled on his face, "That's for sure, if you stay home to eat, then you will definitely have to chop two pieces of meat and send them to you." ”

The fishermen are all sour to death, and they are still staying at home to eat?

"Tut-tut, I don't know what such an expensive fish gelatin tastes like?"

"Don't think about it, you won't be able to eat in this life."

"When will the Bodhisattva bless me?"

"It doesn't matter if the Bodhisattva doesn't bless me, the God of Wealth bless me......" someone in the crowd said with a laugh and a joke.

Everyone kept talking sourly, until the fish was carried away, and they all craned their necks to watch.

Ah Cai is also very regretful, a large amount of money has not been earned, that is a loss!

"Don't look at it, hurry up and weigh me here, I'm tired, I've been waiting for a long time, and I still can't call it?"

"Weigh it, weigh it right away."

Pei's father urged, and Ah Cai didn't care about the money he was distressed about, so he hurriedly went over to weigh the goods, and the day's goods brought back by their big ship could top him to collect the fragmentary goods at the dock for several days.

"It's still a big boat like yours that has caught a lot, and in just one day, you have caught 10,000 catties of goods."

"Most of it can't be sold for money, what's the use? It was sent back to Adong by the way, hoping to calculate a little gas money from him and subsidize it. ”

"That's enough to earn......

"I haven't given my manifest yet." Ye Yaodong asked on the side.

"Wait a minute, I didn't count it just now, I was thinking about the fish on the list just now, who knows if you don't sell it, I haven't calculated the general account yet, you wait a while, I'll calculate the price for the two of you after I finish calculating it."

"Okay."

I'm not in a hurry, anyway, when the groceries of the harvest number will come to the end, I have to weigh them again to see how many catties they can have.

It doesn't matter if you don't have to weigh your own groceries, you still have to weigh the harvest number, so that they can have a number in their hearts, and when they settle accounts later, they will see how much the groceries will be subsidized.

Next, before Qingming, it seems that there will be no more sea, after all, the weather seems to be repeated.

He had to settle the accounts about once in the past two days, and he had to calculate the accounts for the two trips he had left for the harvest number to come back, and the money for the groceries had to be counted a little more, otherwise there should be other words.

Ye Yaodong asked the boatmen to go back first, there was no need to wait here, when there was a time to go to sea, they would be called.

Pei's father also asked the shipwrights to go back first, anyway, these goods were to be sold, and they didn't need anyone's help.

The surrounding fishermen watched the boatmen go back separately, but they didn't leave immediately, they were still very curious, this is only a day, how much can the goods brought back be sold?

Usually, they rarely see so many goods ashore, and their returning ships usually sell the goods in advance on the way back, so as not to eat too much oil all the way back.

They don't have much cargo today, just a day's volume, so they are not so careful.

Father Ye waited for the boatmen to leave before whispering: "Fortunately, you didn't say to give them a red envelope this time, it's all left to eat at home, and then give them a red envelope, then it's not a loss?" ”

"This is what I fished, it's different from the previous two times, it wasn't the first day of work and I didn't let them help, why should I send red envelopes? It's not that people are stupid and have a lot of money. ”

If you give out red envelopes as soon as you get good goods, it will give them bad habits, and it is easy to make the shipwrights on the Harvest dissatisfied.

The two boats work in and out together, and the Dongsheng can often receive red envelopes, so what should the harvest think?

"That's right, it's not that we're stingy, but we also have to take care of the fact that the two boats go in and out together."

"Yes."

Whose boss frequently sends red envelopes every time he makes a lot of money, and if he doesn't let his employees contribute, it is already good to be able to give a generous year-end bonus at the end of the year.

"Then you'll have to kill it when you get home, take it out and hang it up to dry."

"Hmm."

The father and son stood on the sidelines and muttered and chatted, and only went up to help when they needed a hand.

After waiting for another hour, it was almost noon, and all the goods on Pei's father's side had been weighed, and the groceries had also been weighed and lifted onto the tractor.

Ah Cai also counted all the lists and handed them to the two of them separately.

The surrounding fishermen couldn't wait to go to sea for a long time, and they wanted to wait to see how much they could sell, but who knew how much they could sell, and some of them were impatient, and they had already left one after another, and the nets on the sea were still waiting for them to collect them.

Ye Yaodong and Pei's father had already given them the shipping fare.

"Your total is 931 yuan, 1 cent, 6 cents, and Lao Pei's is 1122 yuan, 6 cents and 2 cents, and sure enough, there are still a lot of big boats."

Father Pei saw that he sold more than him, and he was satisfied with the list.

"I catch a lot, and I eat oil well."

"Although it rained on this trip, the harvest of each net was quite okay, but it was a pity that there was thunder and lightning, and we were afraid that the lightning would hit the fishing boat, so we hurried back first."

"When I went out, I added more than 500 more than 500 to add ice, but the oil will not be wasted, and it can still be used when I go to sea on the next trip, but the ice may have to be wasted, and I don't know when I will go to sea next time, the weather looks very unstable, and I bought dozens of ice cubes."

"Sell it to me cheaper, it looks okay this day, the thunder and lightning are estimated to not reach the shore all of a sudden, and it just so happens that my stored ice has bottomed out."

Father Ye's eyes lit up suddenly, "Yes, sell it to you at a discount, save it from waste, ask Ah Gui on the side if they want it, anyway, you receive the goods every day, and ice cubes are indispensable, and when these goods leave at night, you have to sprinkle some ice cubes on it." ”

"Okay, I'll ask."

The ice cubes that were supposed to be lost can be sold again, and they can regain a little health.

Father Pei also chatted with them while waiting.

"Let's go to my place and settle the score, right? It's also the end of the month, it's time to settle the accounts, and the accounts haven't been calculated since the end of the year. ”

"Okay, I have to calculate the general ledger, and I asked you to keep a large number of goods the first two times, and the account hasn't been counted yet, and it will be counted at night."

"Well, I have to sleep first when I go back, it's probably afternoon when I wake up, let's count it after dinner, and I'll find out the list in advance and fix it."

"Okay."

"You're lucky, every time you go out, you can meet good things, I thought the villagers exaggerated before, everyone said that you were blessed by Mazu, and now I have to believe it, what good things have been met for you, I also saw lightning at night, but I didn't see any fish, it was too far away."

Pei's father only learned about the hairy carp when he was just moving the goods, and he hasn't digested it for a while, and he still remembers it.

"It's really all about luck."

"Yes, it all depends on luck, otherwise how could it be delivered to you, Adong's shipping is really good."

Ye Yaodong smiled, and Father Ye also smiled and complimented back.

"Ah Guang is not bad, he has gone to sea with Ah Guang twice, and the harvest is also good, and he has picked up a big yellow croaker for nothing."

Father Pei also smiled sincerely, "It's all good, it's all good, the two of them are not bad at shipping." I'm just that my son has too few births, and I can't compare to you, and you're about to enjoy happiness just by looking at it. ”

"I'm still too early to enjoy happiness, they are big ships one after another, and I have to die half to death."

"It's boring for you to say this, you're laughing like this, and you're still talking about it."

"Hehehehe~"

Father Ye's face was about to smile like a chrysanthemum, and it was indeed something to be proud of when comparing his in-laws.
