I rely on fishing to achieve freedom in life

Chapter 81 The sinister Tang Dahai
Town pier.

Tang Dahai drove his seafood truck to a stop, then got out of the car and went directly to the front of the pier.

"It's going to be daylight soon, and the weather looks nice!"

As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, flicked one, lit it and took two puffs, exhaling thick smoke.

"Boss Tang, Bailang's ship will be back soon, right?"

Someone asked next to him. Now everyone here at the dock knows that Tang Dahai has almost become Bailang's specialized seafood purchaser.

"Haha, you are right. Boss Bai has already called me. His ship will be docking soon."

He looked around as he spoke.

"Hey, it looks like everyone got a good harvest today."

Only then did he notice that the people at the dock who had returned from the sea today, or some other seafood merchants, were very busy.

The fish placed in rows of baskets on the pier are not only big in size, but also in good quantity.

It can be seen from this that the group of people who went to sea in the early morning had quite a harvest today.

Although it is impossible to make as much money as Bailang did a few times before, it is definitely no problem to make one thousand, eight hundred yuan, or one, two thousand, two or three thousand yuan.

"We followed Bailang for a two-day rest in the past two days. Last night we watched him go out to sea to release hooks. Many of us also followed him to release hooks. Needless to say, today's harvest was very good."

The person who just asked the question replied.

When Tang Dahai heard this answer, he couldn't help but laugh.

In the eyes of these fishermen, Bailang has undoubtedly become the most powerful one, and has even become a weathervane and beacon.

As long as he does something, others will rush to learn and imitate.

Not to mention, these people followed Bailang out to sea to release hooks, and the harvest was pretty good.

After this experience, many people must have secretly sworn in their hearts that they will do whatever Bailang does next time!
"By the way, Boss Tang, Bailang must have caught a lot of fish this time he went to sea, right?"

"Yes, I'm also curious about how many fish he caught this time. Isn't it tens of thousands of catties again?"

People on the dock seem to have become accustomed to Bailang’s huge harvest every time they go out to sea.

And many people will stay here specifically to wait for him to come back from the sea to see how many fish he has caught.

This seems to have become a repertoire here at the town pier.

"Haha, I'm not afraid to tell you. I really know how many fish Boss Bai caught today, but you all guessed wrong this time. He told me that there weren't many fish caught this time, only about 200."

Tang Dahai had nothing to hide, so he directly told the numbers he heard from Bai Lang.

But no one noticed that when he said this, there seemed to be an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, intentionally or unintentionally.

And he only mentioned the quantity, not the weight, nor what kind of fish it was.

He is digging a hole.

"How is this possible? I caught two to three hundred fish when I set the hook last night. How could Bailang catch less than me?"

"Yes, with his ability, he should not only catch more than 200 fish."

"It seems that Bailang is not as awesome as everyone thought, and there are times when he stumbles."

"This damn fat guy only talked about the quantity. Maybe the fish Bailang caught this time is extraordinary."

Tang Dahai stood on the pier and smoked quietly.

All the voices of people talking around him reached his ears.

No matter whether other people were surprised, envious or jealous, or said some weird words, he didn't care.

He just said this on purpose. When Bai Lang comes back, these people will definitely be shocked.

"Hey, it seems I'm still too bored to want to watch these people's jokes."

Tang Dahai shook his head. He felt that he was starting to feel a little guilty.

The dark sky slowly began to become brighter, and a trace of fish belly white appeared on the horizon in the distance.

Although the sun has not risen yet, you can already vaguely see the surrounding scenery.

Not long after, Tang Dahai saw a larger fishing boat approaching.

Standing at the bow of the boat was Gao Qiang, with many fish piled on the deck.

Needless to say, I went out to sea early yesterday morning to release the hook, and I definitely got a good harvest.

After Gao Qiang's fishing boat approached the dock, he sold all the fish. He didn't say anything and just stood in the crowd smoking silently.

Tang Dahai glanced at him and found that there was no expression on his face.

"It seems like this kid was hit hard by Bailang."

At this time, Gao Qiang no longer looked as arrogant as before. Although he was good at fishing, he was not at the same level as Bailang.

If he insists on being competitive, he will be the only one who dies miserably in the end.

After Tang Dahai waited for more than ten minutes, Bailang's small boat finally slowly docked.

Seeing this, he couldn't wait for a long time, and he had already jumped on the fishing boat without even tying the rope.

"Boss Bai, I have to take a closer look to see what good things you caught today!"

As soon as Tang Dahai got on the boat, he couldn't help shouting loudly.

The people on the pier who were waiting to watch the excitement suddenly became noisy when they heard his shout.

"What does Fatty Tang mean by saying this? Is there anything different about the fish Bailang caught this time?"

"Someone just said that Bailang only caught about two hundred fish this time. Could it be that he caught another big yellow croaker?"

"Big yellow croaker? Are you kidding? You think big yellow croaker is Chinese cabbage. This is something that is rare to see in ten years."

“I don’t believe it’s a big yellow croaker either.”

The pier was crowded with people, and everyone wanted to see what kind of fish Bailang had caught this time.

After Tang Dahai got on the deck, he shouted and picked up a big fish directly from under the cabin.

It was already bright at this time, and everything around could be seen clearly.

Seeing the big fish in his hand, many old fishermen recognized it at a glance. It was a rice fish.

"Oh my god, is what Fatty Tang is holding in his hand a rice fish?"

"Yes, it's a rice fish, but this rice fish is too big. I'm afraid it weighs more than ten kilograms!"

"Isn't it possible that all Bailang caught in this sea trip are this kind of rice fish? If this is the case, it would be simply terrible."

"Rice fish are naturally scattered in the sea. How could he catch so many at once with a row hook?"

The people on the dock were in an uproar.

If Bailang only caught some big bass this time, then everyone would have been accustomed to it and even become numb.

But now they saw that what Bailang caught was actually a rice fish. They were all shocked and couldn't even believe what they saw.

They know very well how popular such large rice fish is in the market.

The one Tang Dahai is holding now is worth at least more than 1000 yuan, and it is the kind that will be sold immediately.

"Hahaha, everyone, have you seen it clearly! This is rice fish. One of these will definitely weigh more than ten kilograms. If it appears in the market, there will be too many to say. Someone will definitely want one thousand and fifty!" Tang Dahai looked a little proud. shouted loudly.

Just now he deliberately said that Bailang only caught about two hundred fish, and did not tell others that they were rice fish.

Seeing his deliberately showing off, the people watching around him couldn't refute it for a moment.

Rice fish is indeed a fish with high economic value and is particularly popular in the market.

"Boss Tang, stop yelling and deal with these fish first."

Seeing his deliberate giggling, Bai Lang shook his head and smiled.

It's okay to show off, but it's better than delaying the business.

"Hey, don't worry, Boss Bai, there won't be any delays!"

After Tang Dahai finished speaking, he immediately asked Tang Dayang to bring several large baskets from the pier, and then threw the rice and fish into the baskets one after another.

Rice and fish will die after they come out of the water, so you have to take the time to keep them fresh.

In just over ten minutes, they loaded all the rice and fish onto the seafood truck.

After half an hour.
Inside the largest teahouse in town.

Bailang, Tang Dahai and others were sitting around having breakfast.

"Boss Bai, the rice fish have been counted, and the list has been sent to you. The purchase price of this batch of fish is 29, and the money has been transferred to your card. Please check it."

Tang Dahai poured Bailang a cup of hot tea as he spoke.

Of course, you have to take good care of your God of Wealth.

Booking a private room like this for breakfast is also for the convenience of talking.

"Ah."

Bailang nodded.

This is the case for every transaction between the two of them, and they never count overnight accounts.

This was also the rule Bailang set when he started doing business.

Although the two have traded many times and are relatively familiar with each other, they never talk about feelings when it comes to money.

"What are you going to do with these rice fish?"

Bailang asked while eating breakfast.

After working all night, it feels wonderful to be able to sit down and have a good breakfast at this time.

"These rice fish are very big and have therapeutic effects. They are perfect for giving as gifts."

For people living on the coast, seafood is also a very important gift, especially such rare rice fish.

Tang Dahai planned to sell it at first, but after thinking about it, he decided to use it as a gift.

When Bai Lang heard what he said, he also gave him a thumbs up.

If this batch of about [-] rice fish were sold wholesale to others, he could earn tens of thousands of yuan, but this little money no longer meant much to him.

You must know that rice fish are very rare in the market, especially such big ones, and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.

If these fish are given to wealthy people or some business partners, they will definitely be able to maximize their value.

"Boss Bai, did you catch all these rice fish in the nearby sea?"

Tang Dahai has been in the town for several years, and he knows very well what seafood is available in the nearby sea.

In fact, rice fish is not rare, at least not rarer than large yellow croaker, but it is a bit rare to catch so many rice fish at one time with a hook.

This made him wonder, could there be a huge school of rice fish in the nearby sea?
"There are indeed a lot of rice fish in our waters, but they are very scattered. It is basically impossible for others to catch so many rice fish at once."

Bailang was not bragging.

The water layer where rice fish lives is relatively deep, generally below 15 meters. It is basically impossible to catch them with ordinary fishing nets.

The only way is to arrange hooks or fish with fishing rods, but it is definitely not easy to get a good harvest in such deep water.

In addition, rice fish rarely gather in large numbers. If Bailang hadn't been able to pinpoint their positions accurately, he wouldn't have been able to catch so many at once.

"Haha, Boss Bai, you caught so many rice fish this time, I think the people in the town are going crazy again. Starting tonight, many people will go out to sea to catch rice fish."

When Tang Dahai thought about this, the expression on his face was a little strange.

Now Bailang's every move can be said to be watched by people in the town. Now that he has such a good harvest, other people will definitely follow suit and catch rice fish.

"I can't control what other people do, but I'm sure they won't be able to catch too many rice fish."

Bailang knew very well that those who blindly followed the trend would definitely end up in vain.

Even if someone catches rice fish, the number will not be large.

If you give up other easier-to-catch seafood for rice fish, this is definitely a waste that outweighs the gain.

But these have nothing to do with Bailang, and he won't remind them. Even if he reminds them, no one will listen.

"Boss Bai, don't you plan to continue catching rice fish?"

Tang Dahai was a little strange.

It's normal for others not to catch rice fish, but Bailang has his own unique secret skills. He can definitely do what others can't do.

Although rice fish is not as precious as large yellow croaker, it is also a fish with high economic value.

Especially now that the existence of these fish has been discovered, why doesn't Bailang pursue the victory and catch more.

Originally, he had planned that if Bailang caught some more rice fish, he would sell them on the market, and sell them at a high price.

Now it seems that his plan to purchase a large amount of rice fish may be ruined.

"If you look carefully, you can indeed find rice fish, but it is very difficult to encounter a relatively large school of rice fish, so whether you can continue to catch rice fish still depends on luck."

Bailang knew very well that the reason why he was able to catch so many rice fish at once this time was because he encountered waves of rice fish.

But this kind of opportunity doesn't happen every time.

Even if he can directly lock the position of Rice Fish, it will be difficult to encounter such an opportunity again.

If the rice fish don't gather in large numbers, it would be a waste of time and the gain would outweigh the loss if he placed the hook specifically to catch the rice fish.

Tang Dahai thought about it carefully and seemed to understand this truth.

"Boss Bai, you are right. If you want to encounter big schools of rice fish, you really need to be lucky. If you only focus on this kind of fish, it is really not cost-effective."

Although he was a little regretful that he could not continue to purchase Rice Fish, he had to admit that Bailang's choice was the right one.

If you have this time to catch other things, the harvest may be greater and you will earn more money.

"My plan is very simple, that is, after the big boat is repaired, I will go farther to fish and catch whatever I encounter, as long as the quantity and quality meet the standards."

Next time he goes to sea, Bailang doesn't plan to just put out hooks, but also prepare some fishing nets and shrimp nets.

Because no one knows what seafood they will encounter the next time they go to sea.

Tang Dahai nodded and said nothing more.

Bailang definitely knows better than him about fishing. He just needs to do his part.
