Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 125 Fish King
Both brothers-in-law's eyes widened, and they shouted at the same time, "Damn it, really?"

"What a long kiss, is this really a Chinese sturgeon?"

Ye Yaodong's face was full of joy, "It should be? Pull it up first to have a look."

From September to November every year, the Chinese sturgeon travels up the Yangtze River from Haikou to the area from the Yangtze River to Pingshan for breeding.

Every autumn, when the Chinese sturgeon goes up the river to breed and migrate, a large number of Chinese sturgeon can be caught in each section of the river.

Ye Yaodong felt that it was no different from the Chinese sturgeon he had seen in the mobile phone news in his impression, and it was super big, so let's treat it as a Chinese sturgeon for now.

The two brothers-in-law were very pleasantly surprised. Whether it is Chinese sturgeon or not, it is something to be happy to be able to catch such a big fish.

What if it is?Should be able to sell for a good price!

After dragging the net ashore, Ye Yaodong smiled and kicked the fish that was still trembling, "It looks like it's one meter long, and it's quite heavy. There are also a lot of river prawns in it, which are quite big."

"Yes, there are a lot of shrimps in this river. We will come here every three days to catch some to improve our food. If we can't finish eating, we will sell them in the town and sell them for some money." Lin Xianghui rubbed his palms a little excitedly, "Ah Dong, I caught this fish, take a closer look to see if it is a Chinese sturgeon?"

Lin Xiangrong also looked at him expectantly.

Ye Yaodong coughed twice, and said with some embarrassment: "This... Actually, I haven't seen this fish before, I just heard about it, and it looks very similar!"

"what?"

"You were so sure of what you said just now, I thought you knew each other!"

The two brothers were a little speechless, thinking that he really knew each other, but it turned out to be just a guess!

"I think it should be. Hurry up and get a bucket of river water, and put it in the bucket while it's still alive. If it's too big to fit, it can barely breathe. It's dark now, and it's not easy to sell it. It has to be fed until tomorrow morning."

It is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not.What if it's really a Chinese sturgeon?If it is dead and left overnight, it will not be fresh, and it will be a big loss.

Lin Xianghui went to fetch a bucket of river water full of anticipation, and put the struggling big fish into the bucket alone, and comforted himself: "Even if this is not a Chinese sturgeon, it can be sold for some money. It is too big. In our It’s also very rare here.”

"Let's raise it for one night first, and bring it to the farmer's market in the town tomorrow to see if anyone can recognize it?" Lin Xiangrong suggested.

Ye Yaodong pointed to the shrimp pot in his hand, "Do you want to put it in? I think there are more than 10 catties of river shrimp in the bucket, and there are many other small fish. You just went into the water and caught more than half of the bucket."

Lin Xianghui shook his head, "I won't let it go. Let's go back quickly. The fish is too big and the bucket is too small. If we delay it, we may die easily. Take it home and keep it in a tank."

"Then put on your clothes and let's go back early."

Ye Yaodong said while putting away the shrimp nets, the two buckets brought out were full, if you continue to put more shrimp cages, the goods can only be carried back in the shrimp cages, anyway, it is enough to eat, it is better to go back early , save the small space of the bucket and kill the fish.

After packing up, the three walked and discussed how much this fish could be sold for.

"Get up early tomorrow and go to the farmer's market. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the market is very lively. This fish must be a good seller."

Ye Yaodong said with a playful smile: "Whether it is or not, you just insist that this is a Chinese sturgeon. Those who know the goods will naturally bid. Don't foolishly say that you don't know what it is. It's easy to be led by the nose."

Lin Xianghui and Lin Xiangrong were stunned.

"But we're not sure, are we?"

"Then you just insist on it! You haven't seen others, and you may not have seen them."

"That... isn't that a lie?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "How can this be called a lie? Maybe this fish is originally a Chinese sturgeon, but you don't know it, so I'm not sure, but it doesn't mean it's not a Chinese sturgeon? Right? How to say it is, That's it?"

The two were confused by what he said, but they felt quite reasonable.

Lin Xiangrong laughed awkwardly and said, "This...we're not very good at talking and selling things, why don't you come with us tomorrow morning?"

Lin Xianghui also nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, this fish is still caught by you, and you have a share, so let's go together. Don't be sold cheaply by us. We are not as good at speaking as you, and we are not as good at speaking as you. I'm really afraid." Just a few words and I sold it casually."

It's not like I haven't bought it at such a low price before. There are many aunts and aunts in those farmers' markets, but they will bargain.

Many times when they went to sell fish and shrimp, they were utterly hampered by those aunts. They obviously sold it for 5 cents a catty, but when they bought two catties, it became [-] cents, and they just gave you [-] cents. Let's go, you can't ignore the stalls and catch up, and you will lose [-] cents for nothing!Two cents is a lot!

"I'll share one-third of the money after selling it, right? That's no problem. I'll go with you guys at what time tomorrow morning." If you're sure that he has a share, then of course he will do his best.

If they were greedy and wanted to sell them for a penny and didn't include him, he wouldn't be able to say anything, after all, he was the one who asked to follow, and the two were his brothers-in-law.

"It should be. This is the best place under your shrimp cage to catch it. If we were to release it, we would definitely not put it here, and of course we would not catch it."

"Yeah, if this fish is valuable, it must be divided among three people. My brother and I usually put shrimp pots together and sell them for a penny."

"It's okay, we are all a family, you can do whatever you want..."

Brother, you have to settle accounts clearly, but you still have to speak beautifully.

The big fish in the water moved a bit, and a piece of water splashed onto Lin Xianghui. He asked happily, "Ah Dong, how much do you think this one could sell for if it was a Chinese sturgeon?"

"A few tens of dollars, right?"

He didn't really understand the price of freshwater fish at first, he only knew the common ones, not to mention it's 82 years now.

If you want to find someone who knows the goods, besides the boss, you are an official, maybe take it directly to the town government building tomorrow morning?Save time wasting time at the farmer's market gate.

"So many?" The two brothers-in-law said in unison in surprise.

"Not too many. If it were a Chinese sturgeon, it would be very rare. Otherwise, why would it be called the Yangtze River Fish King? It is huge and full of treasures."

Its liver can be used to treat scabies, and the fish can be used to replenish deficiency and Qi.

Its bone marrow has anti-cancer factors, known as "shark fins, sturgeon bones, food prolongs life, nourishes yin and strengthens yang".

Its swim bladder is called "huso maw", which is rich in colloid and can be used to prepare high-quality paints and be used as medicine.

The most valuable is the roe of the Chinese sturgeon. The "caviar" made from the roe of the sturgeon has a very high fat content and is regarded as one of the world's three major delicacies.
