Fishing boats without refrigerated tanks are inconvenient, the living water tanks cannot be raised, and the ice cubes are not enough, so they can only be piled up in the fish tanks.

That is, Zhang Ze's second grouper harvest was very poor, otherwise the living water tank would not even be able to raise grouper lobsters.

By the time Zhang Zhenghong and their longlines were also put away, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning.

Tomorrow morning, the fish were to be sent back, so Zhang Ze asked them to go back to bath and sleep, and secretly collected all the grouper lobsters in the living water tank into the space, so as not to cause them to die of lack of oxygen.

More than 1,000 catties of grouper are almost crowded in the living water tank.

Many of them were about to suffocate to death, and Zhang Ze immediately saved them after entering the space.

Now the space of 14 cubic meters does not seem to increase much compared to the 10 cubic meters, but in fact, the whole space is still much larger.

In addition, most of his fish have been emptied, and only the blue crabs crawling on the bottom are left, so more than 1,000 catties of grouper plus 200 catties of lobsters are not crowded at all after being put in.

Zhang Ze looked at the total weight of groupers and lobsters, of which the ordinary grouper weighed 1,026 catties and 3 taels, and the tiger grouper was 123 catties and 6 taels.

The water temperature in the southern part of the Nanping Islands may be more suitable for the tiger grouper, resulting in a higher catch of fish than in previous places.

Fifty-two pounds and six taels of oil spots, and one hundred and thirty-seven pounds of sea red spots.

The ordinary lobster has one hundred and twenty-three catties and nine taels, and the flower dragon is seventy-seven catties and four taels.

Zhang Ze returned to the cab and took the notebook to calculate Zhang Qinghe and Zhang Zhenghong's gains.

The grouper lobsters on both sides of them are directly weighed and counted after they arrive on the boat, so when the longline will be harvested, and when will they finish counting these two aquatic products, so as not to mix and raise them together and have no way to calculate.

The total weight minus their harvest, then the rest is their own.

Zhang Ze calculated their catch, and by the way, counted his catch, and then calculated the price that should be paid.

The total weight of the ordinary grouper of Zhang Qinghe and Zhang Zhenghong is 721 catties and 8 taels, and the price is calculated according to 8 cents, and he should pay 577 yuan and 4 cents.

Originally, he planned to give his cousin a dollar price, but today longline fishing is too cost-effective for him, so he simply flattened the price.

The tiger grouper has a total of eighty-seven catties and three taels, and the unit price is three yuan, and one hundred and thirteen yuan and four cents and nine are required.

The oil spots are a total of 38 catties and 3 taels, and the unit price is 3 yuan, 114 yuan and 9 cents.

The sea red spot has a total of eighty-two catties, and the unit price is five yuan, four hundred and one.

The green lobster is only Zhang Qinghe's, with fifty-seven catties and two taels, and the unit price is three and seventy-four yuan.

Hualong is twenty-three catties and three, and the unit price is two yuan, forty-six yuan and six.

So this time, Zhang Ze just paid more than 1,300 yuan to the two of them, and the bill was not good, so he was shocked.

If you pay them so much, the overall price after selling it may reach three thousand, which is about the price of a ship.

And that's not counting the other fish, even if the price is not high, there are two or three hundred.

Kangji eel is 1,000 catties, and he estimates that he can sell it for four or five hundred, and the income from longline fishing is completely beyond his expectations.

It's just that this thing is too time-consuming, and if he is alone, he will only put two longlines a day at most, and there will not be enough time.

From this point of view, the rest of the longlines can indeed be given to Zhang Qinghe, and it is enough for him to keep one for himself.

Then go to customize a subline with a length of 100 meters, and then you can fish for deep-sea fish.

After keeping the account, Zhang Ze went back to take a shower and go to sleep, but he woke up very punctually at about five o'clock.

Tired until about two o'clock in the morning, the other people were still asleep, he got up and started the fishing boat directly to Tong Yuanhang's side, and a whistle woke up the people on both boats.

Tong Yuanhang walked out of the cabin after a while, and saw that it was Zhang Ze who woke them up, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he had an expression that wanted to scold but was not good.

"What time is it, and why don't you go to the net? It's noon to sleep again! ”

"Right now, you're going back?" Tong Yuanhang asked, wiped his face with his hand, and tried to be as sober as possible.

"Yes, I'll go back first, you can count the grouper and all these things." Zhang Ze had no intention of letting the other party send the grouper right now.

The groupers in his space haven't been put back yet, so it will be troublesome if he finds out that there are no groupers in the living water tank.

After being notified, he turned around and saw the eldest cousin who came out wiping his eyes, and the other two cousins were also following behind, and Zhang Qinghe, who was also experienced, was still sleeping.

"You don't have to come out, go back to sleep, and I'll call you when it's time to get ashore."

"Is it okay?"

"It's okay, I'll let you practice driving the boat in the afternoon."

"Okay, then I'll go back to sleep, and when you get to the shore, you remember to call us."

Sending away a few people who woke up, Zhang Ze drove the boat back, because he got up early, and it was only eight o'clock when he returned to the dock.

However, he came to the dock in Yuewan County first, and Ou Shuxiang was already waiting here at eight o'clock, which was the time they had agreed.

He also recently rented a house near Zhang Ze's house, and will move there with his wife and children after a while.

In the future, Zhang Ze will tell him when he will come back from the sea, and Ou Shuxiang can also prepare in advance, and he does not need to be notified every time he comes to Yuewan County.

"How's it going?" Ou Shuxiang came up and asked.

"The grouper and lobster are almost more than 1,500 catties, and I don't know the situation on the other boat behind, but according to previous experience, there should be three or four hundred catties."

Zhang Ze said and opened the living water tank, and the dense grouper in it made Ou Shuxiang's eyes light up.

He groaned for a while and said, "In this way, the grouper here will be 800 catties, the lobster will be 100 catties, and you will send the rest to Wenshui City for me, with your brother-in-law and them, and I will sell the rest in Wenshui City." ”

Hearing that Yuewan County had arranged less, Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows: "It seems that your current business in Wenshui City is doing well!" ”

"It wasn't your eel that gave me the inspiration that led me to a few restaurants." Ou Shuxiang smiled on his face, it is estimated that there should be a lot of oil and water in it.

The main reason is that the price of seafood has increased a little bit recently, which makes his business easier to negotiate.

Zhang Ze was not surprised by this, the price gap at the beginning of the 80s was not large, but there was a certain increase every year, and by the middle and late 80s, the price rose much faster.

He just cooperated with Ou Shuxiang, and asked others to give up the iron rice bowl to become a seafood merchant, and the price naturally can't rise again.

A group of people were busy together, and eight hundred catties of fish and one hundred catties of lobsters were quickly carried to the shore and sent away by the people arranged by Ou Shuxiang.

Then they continued to set off, passing through Lumen Island, handing over the longline to the weaver to repair the line, and ordering a longline with a length of 100 meters, and then returned to Wenshui City.

The price of Kang Ji's eels was much higher than Zhang Ze expected, reaching five cents and three, and he had a total of more than 1,120 catties here, which was sold for more than 600 yuan, plus other fish catches were also more than 100 yuan.

Zhang Qinghe is not bad this time, in addition to the grouper, the income is also more than three hundred, and Zhang Zhenghong and the others together have more than four hundred and fifty.

Zhang Ze, who saw this harvest, scratched his head a little, but longline fishing is so profitable, and those fishing companies have several trawlers to go to the open sea to fish, isn't it even more exaggerated?

No wonder the current fishing companies are still state-owned, and the profits in them are really eye-catching!

Zhang Ze actually didn't expect that he was a big collective before, and the fishermen couldn't work hard, so he was able to catch so many groupers.

Now that the market economy is open, there will be more and more trawlers at sea.

In the second half of the year or next year, even if he has magic bait, his future harvest will gradually decline, unless he can find a good spot that no one else has found every time.

In the following days, when many coral reefs and reef areas are plowed by trawlers and the ecology is destroyed, the grouper resources will be greatly reduced and the price will be further increased.

To the extent that ordinary income families have to spend half a month or even a month's salary if they want to eat a grouper.

Of course, the large catch of fish this time is also related to the big tide, and the harvest of the big tide itself is better than usual.

When Zhang Ze's catch was sold, Tong Yuanhang was finally late.

Because they didn't have a longline, the grouper's harvest was indeed the same as he guessed, only more than 430 catties, and the lobster was more than 100 catties.

In the end, after Ou Shuxiang sold all the grouper lobsters, Zhang Ze got 3,672 yuan, plus more than 700 other catches, and the deposit in his pocket came directly to more than 6,000.

He left a five-pound dragon and a two-pound sea red spot in his own space, and went back to make it for his daughter-in-law.

"Aoga, do you want to have a ship of your own?"

In the cabin, Zhang Ze held a dozen coins and patted them in his hands, these were Zhang Qinghe's income from the grouper this time.

"Goo Dong~" Zhang Qinghe looked at the money and swallowed his saliva, he knew that the harvest this time was very good, and he knew that he could get a lot of money, but he didn't expect Zhang Ze to tempt him directly with a boat.

After going to sea so many times, he is now a qualified fisherman, and after having a boat, he follows Zhang Ze, and he doesn't need to be afraid that problems will not be solved.

"You want to lend me money?"

"Write a loan, write down how much money you want to borrow, and I'll take you to buy a boat in the afternoon." Zhang Ze is not nonsense, after this longline fishing, he himself has the idea of letting Zhang Qinghe become independent.

Originally, he wanted to take some shares, but he said before that if he called his brother over, it would be the assets of other people's brothers, so Zhang Ze dispelled this idea.

According to his idea, he originally planned to arrange his cousin in the past, and the two were not afraid of falsifying the account books when they supervised each other, but now it is obviously unnecessary.

Zhang Qinghe did not hesitate to tear off a piece of paper from his notebook and began to write an IOU. This product is stronger than Zhang Ze before, and he finished junior high school.

Zhang Ze then looked at his three cousins: "Do you want to buy a boat too?" ”

Zhang Zhenghong was stunned: "We also buy it?" We can't even sail a boat, can we buy it? ”

"It's very simple to drive a boat, buy a boat and teach it, and you can practice it at sea. You will also be able to go down the net and under the longline, follow me in the early stage, and you will be able to go to sea at any time after you are proficient. ”

Zhang Ze glanced at the space that was still more than a hundred years away from being able to rise to level fifteen, and his thoughts that he wanted to continue with his three cousins suddenly stopped.

This time, as long as there was no one on the ship, he upgraded the space, and he was uncomfortable with a hundred thieves who couldn't go up and down.

Now that the money is just enough, then simply buy it directly, and you can use the space of a single ship as you like in the future.

Zhang Zhenghong looked at his two younger brothers, and the three of them discussed, thinking that they would buy it in the future anyway, so he simply tore up a piece of paper and began to write an IOU.

After both parties wrote the IOU, signed it, and pressed their handprints, Zhang Ze took the IOU and looked at it.

Zhang Qinghe borrowed 2,500 from him, and he contributed 500 of the remaining money to keep for other expenses.

Zhang Zhenghong and his colleagues directly borrowed 3,000, although they had a few hundred yuan on them, but there were a lot of fancy things in the future, and they had to keep some money for backup.

Both parties have written that they will pay it off within a year, and he has no opinion on this, and he will definitely be able to pay it back if there is no accident in a year.

signed his name and also pressed his handprint, and after a few people had lunch, Zhang Ze drove the boat directly to the shipyard.

Not only Zhang Qinghe, they wanted to buy a boat, but he himself had to add a drawstring winch to the stern of the boat.
