Chapter 506 A Great Harvest

Jiang Dong carefully pulled the fish up.

A red fish emerged.

Zhang Fuyan: "It's so big! What kind of fish is this? Grouper?"

"Yes, red grouper." Zhou Chenglei caught it with a hand net.

Jiang Dong cut the fishing line.

Jiang Xia took a look and said, "About 7 or 8 kilograms?"

Zhou Chenglei put the fish into the basin: "About eight pounds."

Zhang Fuyan reached out and touched it and asked, "Is this fish valuable?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "This fish can be sold for ten yuan."

So expensive? Zhang Fuyan immediately encouraged Jiang Dong: "Jiang Dong, keep working hard! Catch more of these!"

Jiang Dong had been pulling, but he missed a few hooks. He continued pulling, and then said excitedly: "This one also sinks! It's also red!"

But what came up this time was a red fish, which was not as expensive as the red grouper, but was bigger than the red grouper.

Zhou Chenglei also used a hand net to scoop it up: "This is a red fish, weighing nine pounds, and can be sold for about four yuan."

Zhang Fuyan laughed and said, "Big fish are still valuable! They are more expensive than a chicken."

Four dollars for a fish, that's really expensive! Jiang Xia: "Yeah, but a fish weighing eight kilograms is bigger than an ordinary chicken."

Zhang Fuyan: "Jiang Dong, keep going! Your hands are for catching big fish. All the fish I caught before were small, none of them weighed more than three pounds."

Jiang Dong also felt that he was lucky. He continued to pull excitedly. After a few empty hooks, he finally caught a big yellow croaker.

About one pound.

Then two large yellow croakers weighing about one kilogram came up in succession, and then another larger one came.

"Brother-in-law! Hurry up and use the scoop net to catch it!"

The fish that came up this time was a black grouper, a giant grouper, weighing about ten kilograms.

This fish is still very alive.

Jiang Xia looked at it and said, "Zhou Chenglei, see if this fish can be raised in a net cage."

"good."

Zhang Fuyan: "This fish is so big, do you still want to keep it?"

Jiang Xia: "This kind of fish can grow up to 400 kilograms, and anything under 4 kilograms is considered a juvenile."

The giant grouper can grow to several hundred kilograms, and it will be more valuable if it can be raised to more than 30 or 40 kilograms before being sold.

It is too difficult and impractical to raise a grouper that weighs several hundred kilograms, and it is not known how many years it will take to raise it. After all, giant groupers can live for more than twenty years.

They already have five giant groupers in their seabed cages.

Two of them have grown to about 10 to 20 kilograms, and they are growing quite fast.

Zhang Fuyan took a look at the giant grouper and couldn't imagine how big a 400-kilogram giant grouper could be. Could it be longer than the fishing boat? She asked.

Jiang Xia didn't know either, she had never seen it before: "It should be about the same!"

The next fish we caught were all weighing one or two kilograms, including large yellow croaker, three-toothed fish, yellow croaker, flounder, sea bass and some miscellaneous fish. There was quite a rich variety of fish.

In the end, I actually caught two big red snappers, one weighing 22 jin and the other 18 jin.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "What good luck!"

This time there were more control hooks, ninety-three in total, but many big fish were caught, including twenty-six large yellow croakers, so if they were sold, they could be sold for more than one hundred yuan.

Zhang Fuyan asked: "How much can these fish sell for?"

Jiang Xia estimated: "About one hundred and ten yuan."

Today is another fruitful day! Zhang Fuyan was amazed: "Fishing is really profitable. I can make almost 200 yuan in one afternoon, which is more than I can make by translating a thick original book. It takes me half a month to translate a book."

Jiang Xia: "It depends on your luck. Today is a good day for you two to go fishing. Besides, fishing is risky and not as comfortable as sitting at a desk."

"That's right."

Jiang Xia asked Zhang Fuyan and Jiang Dong what kind of fish they wanted to eat, and asked Zhou Chenglei to keep some, and then sold the rest when they returned to the dock.

Back at the dock, Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Dong moved the fish to the purchasing office. The villagers looked at their fish and said in surprise: "Alei, you caught so many fish in your small wooden boat? Did you encounter a school of yellow croakers?"

"It's not caught with a net, it's caught with a hook."

"I also used a row of hooks today, a total of 800, but I didn't catch as many big yellow croakers as you did. Where did you use a row of hooks to catch so many big yellow croakers? I will do it tomorrow as well."

"You make a lot of money driving a big boat to trawling, and you can make a lot more money driving a small boat like this to set traps. Are you going to let us live? All the fish in the sea have been caught by your family!"

"The fish in the sea only choose to be caught by your fishing nets and hooks!"

Zhou Chenglei ignored the sour remarks and just told them the location.

Everyone felt depressed when they heard this.

"It's too far. It's not convenient for us to row the boat over there."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"It seems that we still need to equip the boat with a power plant. There are not many fish near the coast."

"Some of the fish are cheap and worthless."

"But a set of equipment is not cheap. A second-hand one costs dozens of dollars. It is difficult to find a used one to buy, and a new one is too expensive. If you don't catch any fish, you will lose all the money on fuel."

"That's right! A-Lei, do you think it's fake?"

Zhou Chenglei: "You can go farther with it, but it does cost money for gas. You can decide for yourself. There are pros and cons to each."

“How much did you spend on gas today?”

"I bought eight and I haven't used them all yet."

"If I could make more than 100 yuan by sailing a small wooden boat like A-lei, I would do it without a second thought!"

"Nonsense, I'll do it right away like A-lei did! I'll drive the boat back this morning and make over a hundred dollars by going out to sea in the afternoon. I'll do it right away! Do I need to think about it?"

…

Zhou Chenglei did not join their discussion.

No one can guarantee that you can catch more fish by installing it and going farther away, but the chances are indeed greater.

However, he installed the power unit to make it easier for crew members to get to and from get off work.

It usually takes more than an hour to sail from the city dock to Abalone Island. Without a power device, is it relying on manpower? Zhang Fuyan looked at the fish caught by small wooden boats like theirs. Most fishermen could only sell them for 10 or 8 yuan, or even 3 or 4 yuan. The man was very happy when he sold more than 20 yuan.

Because most of the fish they caught were worth a few cents per pound, or even a few cents per pound.

Fortunately, they rowed the boat themselves, otherwise they would have lost all the money on gas.

But those larger fishing boats do make more, but they don't sell as much as they do.

So Xia Xia was really lucky when she said that she was lucky today! Not all fishermen can earn one or two hundred yuan a day by going out to sea to fish.

No wonder those small wooden boats are rowed with oars, otherwise they would lose money on fuel.

However, it is normal that there are people who do well and people who do not do well in every industry.

Just like studying, some people can get full marks in the exam, while others only get a dozen points.

Just like Jiang Dong and other seniors who developed several patents while still studying and earned more money than others could earn in their entire lives, she can only earn more than 200 yuan a month from translation and internship, which is already higher than many people, while most of her classmates are already satisfied with just a few yuan in scholarships a month.

Jiang Dong still had to go back to the city to have dinner with his father and mother.

Zhou Chenglei packed up six small blue dragons, six blue crabs, a two-jin large yellow croaker, two yellowfin croakers, a sea grouper and an eel and took them to the Jiang family.

There were three small blue dragons, eight blue crabs, two large yellow croakers, a few yellow croakers and an eel left for his parents and Zhou Zhou to eat.

Then he drove back with Jiang Dong and others to have a reunion dinner with Jiang's father and mother.

They were still transplanting rice seedlings today. Li Xiuxian went back to the village after school to see if they had finished. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw small green dragon crabs and blue crabs in the bucket and her eyes widened.
