Chapter 5 Surprise fish

Compared with large fishing boats, it is more common to harvest hundreds of catties each time.But for many offshore fishermen, it is very happy to catch tens or hundreds of catties every time they cast their nets.

After all, the trawl area and distance of small fishing boats are limited. If there is no fish on the hauling route, then naturally no fish will be caught.Wanting to catch hundreds of catties in one net is even more unthinkable.

As the easternmost island from the inland, the fishermen living on Fulin Island are not without any advantages.At least in the waters where they fish, there are more fish than other offshore areas.

It's just a reduction in the number of fish schools. Every time the net is released, if the inferred route is wrong, it will be difficult to catch a large number of fish schools.In short, the fish that can be caught each time the net is lowered are naturally less than in the early years.

But looking at the first net played today, Xu Licheng seemed somewhat dumbfounded.From his point of view, something was obviously wrong with this situation.It is estimated that it is still possible to drag several hundred catties of fish in one net.

Nowadays, it is really very rare!
"Third Uncle, there are so many fish! This net should weigh several hundred catties! It seems that Third Uncle's fishing skills are still very good!"

Hearing Xu Haibao's praise, Xu Licheng smiled honestly and said: "If I really had such ability, I would have made a fortune long ago. I haven't caught so many fish in one net for several years."

"Ah! Then how many fish can you catch at most when you cast a net?"

"It's a blessing to be able to have a hundred catties. Many times when you cast a net, you can only get some fragments. It seems that today's net can pull so much, I guess it is because of your good luck!"

"Really! Let me just say, my luck has been pretty good! Third Uncle, quickly bring the box and see what fish are there!"

Xu Haibao did not deny that the third uncle attributed such a good harvest to himself.After all, the net can catch so much, presumably those two drops of pearl water played a role.

What happened this time made Xu Haibao more aware that the water in the Wuming Pearl has an irresistible temptation for fish.If he wants to set up an offshore fishing ground in the future, he probably doesn't even need to buy fish fry if he has Wuming Zhushui.

As Xu Haibao dragged the fishing net into the fishing boat and untied the tail of the fishing net, the fishy smell came out, which still made Xu Haibao feel like he had come to the seafood fish market.After shaking the net, the fish in the net also started to jump up.

Small yellow croaker, octopus, squid, silver pomfret, conger eel, mackerel, yellow croaker, white croaker, squid, swimming crab and all kinds of shrimp, it looks dazzling.These fish products are relatively common fish in the East China Sea.

Xu Licheng, who was holding a plastic box by the side, also looked very happy watching the fish being shaken out of the net.Even if these fish products are not expensive fish, the quantity looks spectacular!

At this moment, Xu Haibao, who was pouring fish, suddenly brightened his eyes and said, "Third Uncle, you are going to get rich!"

"what?"

"Look, what is this?"

Even if there are still fish in the net that have not been shaken out, Xu Haibao has already put down the fishing net, stretched out his hand from the dumped fish pile, and pulled out a golden-colored marine fish that weighed five or six catties.Seeing this fish, Xu Licheng was also a little dumbfounded.

"Golden dragon! How is this possible? Come on, show it to me!"

Golden Dragon is the common name of this fish, but this common name can also tell how rare this fish is.In fact, the scientific name of this fish is 'big yellow croaker', and it is also one of the four seafoods in the East China Sea, but its economic value is undoubtedly the most expensive.

The bigger the large yellow croaker, the higher the price.In recent years, even though the East China Sea has implemented a fishing ban, the large yellow croaker, which was common in the early years, is still very rare today.This also caused its price to soar all the way.

After taking over the dying big yellow croaker from Xu Haibao, Xu Licheng couldn't help grinning and said: "It seems that you are really rich! This fish is at least five catties, and it can be sold for forty to fifty thousand yuan." It's not a problem!"

Xu Haibao, who had eaten this kind of fish in his early years, didn't think it was so miraculous.But he knows that large yellow croakers are very rare now, and large yellow croakers weighing three catties are even more precious.The value of large yellow croakers is also related to its weight.

The higher the weight, the higher the price!

"Third Uncle, are you going to auction this fish at the fish market in the town?"

"Yeah! Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the price of this big yellow croaker has skyrocketed. I only saw other people auctioning it before, but I didn't expect to have this luck! With this fish, this year will be a good one!"

"Third Uncle, it's just over there! I checked just now, and it seems that there are still a few more!"

"What! What else?"

Hearing Xu Haibao's words, Xu Licheng suddenly felt pleasantly surprised by being hit on the head by Jin Yuanbao.After Xu Haibao scraped away the pile of fish, he pulled out three smaller large yellow croakers that weighed two or three catties.

These four large yellow croakers alone, if sold in the fish market, are believed to be enough for fishmongers to snap up them.As a province in Jiangnan where there are many wealthy people in the country, many people are not short of money at all, but only short of the increasingly rare wild large yellow croaker!

Looking at these four unexpected harvests, Xu Haibao thought for a while and suddenly said: "Third uncle, you plan to take this fish out to the town to shoot, how much money can you get?"

"Sixty to seventy thousand should be enough!"

Although he didn't understand why Xu Haibao asked such a question, Xu Licheng thought about it and thought that he should be able to sell it at this price.After all, right now the large yellow croaker has a price but no market. Once someone catches it, there will be fishmongers bidding for it at auction.

Hearing the price Xu Licheng said, Xu Haibao also said directly: "Third Uncle, put these four fish together and I'll take a picture. I have a comrade in arms who runs a big restaurant at home. I'll ask him How much can you pay!"

In Xu Haibao's view, selling large yellow croakers to fishmongers is better than selling them directly to hotels.In that case, it will save the fishmongers from changing hands to make a fortune.Selling this kind of fish is often selling favors!
Although he didn't understand why Xu Haibao did this, Xu Licheng naturally understood that it would be more valuable to sell the fish directly to the big hotel.With the four fish laid out on the boat, Xu Haibao took out his mobile phone and quickly took a photo.

After finding out the mobile phone number of a comrade-in-arms, Xu Haibao sent the photo over, and attached a sentence of 'make a price'!
Knowing that the preservation of large yellow croaker is very important, in order to maximize the freshness of large yellow croaker, the storage method is also different from other sea fish.Putting the other fish aside, Xu Licheng began to handle the four 'golden fish' carefully.

Xu Haibao, who felt that he was really lucky today, was about to put his phone back in his pocket when he heard a pleasant ringtone.Looking at the number displayed on the phone, Xu Haibao knew that the other party must be very excited.

Sure enough, the person on the other end of the phone saw that the phone was connected, and said happily, "Brother Bao, you won't play tricks on me, will you?"

"Fatty, Friends! Looks like I found the wrong person! If you don't believe me, I'll sell it to someone else!"

"Oh my god! Brother Bao, did you really catch those four big yellow croakers?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I'm still fishing at sea! This was just caught by my third uncle. If you don't want it, we plan to send it to the fish market in the town for auction after loading it!"

"Don't! Don't! Master Bao, I'm wrong. Your lord has a lot, so please keep it for me. I heard you say that you went fishing before, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that you really are I grew up in a fishing village!"

Hearing the flattering voice of the other party on the phone, Xu Haibao also scolded with a smile: "Okay, fat man, the weight of these four fish has not yet been weighed, but the big one weighs at least five catties. You should think about the price of this fish." There are many.

You should know that this fish will also be auctioned when it is sent to the fish market.I thought, let the fishmonger change hands to make a profit, it is better to sell it directly to you kid.After all, you should know that this fish is rare these days.

To give an honest price, my third uncle rarely has such luck.If you are sensible, wait until tomorrow, and I will get you a few wild big groupers about ten catties.How about it? "

"Don't worry! Your third uncle is my third uncle. The price will definitely satisfy you. However, you can really get a wild big grouper, which weighs ten catties. Although this thing is not as valuable as a big yellow croaker, it is just as rare!"

"You're just a chatterbox! I've been with Lao Tzu for so long, when did I ever tell a lie?"

"Dele! You're wrong! Wait for a few minutes, I'll make a few calls first, and I'll call you back later!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Haibao told his third uncle about it, and Xu Licheng had no objection to it.Even in Xu Licheng's view, such luck today is probably due to the credit of his nephew.

No matter how much the fish can be sold for, Xu Li always feels that he and his nephew are equally divided.After all, the brothers settled the accounts clearly, and the two caught the fish together, so it is only natural to share half with the nephew!
