Chapter 4: Can it be sold so expensively?
An old fellow nearby noticed the plastic basket in the cabin and asked, "Something's wrong. They look so happy. Did they get something?"
"Still keeping it a secret."
"Show it to the uncles and aunts."
They were all experienced fishermen. When the fishing boat docked, they keenly noticed that the waterline of the boat was very high, which meant that there were heavy objects on the boat.
What can be put in a fishing boat? Besides water, there are fish.
Of course, they didn't think the two guys could gain anything big.
Uncle Ba was so distracted by his concern that he didn't notice anything. Only after hearing what his old friend said did he carefully examine the fishing boat and ask, "Did you catch any fish?"
Kangzi nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice.
He shouted excitedly: "I caught a boat full of flying fish!"
What?
Ba Shu and the others were shocked and shouted in unison: "Is this true?"
"How did you catch it?"
The other old fishermen also looked curious and incredulous.
Kangzi said with a strange look on his face, "It wasn't caught."
When Uncle Ba heard this, he immediately became furious and interrupted him, shouting, "You little bastard, you're making fun of us old guys."
"So he was just playing a trick on us."
"I told you, there aren't any flying fish in our area. Even if there were, they'd be hard to catch."
Kangzi said hurriedly: "The flying fish jumped up by itself."
"We caught the King Flying Fish."
"Look."
After saying that, he lifted the plastic sheet covering the cabin.
Uncle Ba and others jumped onto the deck out of curiosity, and were all stunned when they saw so many flying fish.
Uncle Ba still had a cigarette in his mouth, and it fell to the deck with a "click".
Ye Qing picked it up.
Stuffed it back into his pocket.
An old fisherman suddenly grabbed Kangzi and asked in a trembling voice, "Where did you encounter the flying fish?"
Kangzi was shaken back and forth.
Uncle Ba quickly grabbed the man and said, "How can I say anything if you do this?"
"Kangzi, you are worthy of being my son."
"Tell me where you found the school of flying fish."
"I have to ask the village chief to commend you."
They all thought that it was a school of flying fish discovered by Kangzi. After all, Ye Qing went out to college and hadn't gone fishing with them for several years.
Although Kangzai is young, he has been fishing for several years.
Kangzi smiled bitterly: "I didn't discover the school of flying fish."
"It's Ah Qing."
He really wants to pretend to be this good.
But reality doesn't allow it.
Uncle Ba's smile, which was full of pride, froze, and he felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that all his pride and praise were in vain.
He then looked at Ye Qing, gave him a thumbs-up, and praised, "Qingzi, that's great."
"I haven't been to the sea for several years, but this time I went, I got such a big harvest. I didn't embarrass your father."
Ye Qing smiled. He was proud to have brought honor to his father. He said modestly, "I'm just lucky."
Uncle Ba shouted, "What incredible luck this is!"
"How come young people nowadays are even more pretentious than us?"
"Qingzi, tell me in detail how you discovered it."
"Let us old folks open our eyes."
Ye Qing didn't hide anything.
In the village, anyone who finds a school of fish will share it. This is a tradition passed down from generation to generation.
And hiding it is not realistic.
The sea is so vast, it is all water, and it doesn't belong to any family. Even if you can hide for a while, you can't hide forever. If someone is willing to follow you, you will always be discovered.
Anyone who keeps something to himself will inevitably be pointed at and criticized by the villagers afterwards.
Let’s talk about it later.
What's wrong with telling everyone? He has dragon balls and electric eels. If they go fishing together, he will definitely catch more than other fishermen.
He said that he just followed his feeling and ended up encountering a school of flying fish. Luckily, he caught the king of flying fish while it was flying. This was how he "got something for nothing" and got a boat full of flying fish.
Old fishermen like Bashu were shocked and confused, shouting, "This is unscientific."
"Why are there schools of flying fish in that sea area?"
Ye Qing smiled secretly. Of course it was unscientific. The school of flying fish he found by living in symbiosis with electric eels seemed unscientific, but it was also very scientific.
It’s no wonder that old fishermen like Uncle Ba reacted so strongly.
Through generations of exploration, our ancestors have basically explored the situation in the nearby waters.
What kind of fish?
What fish are available in what season?
The schools of fish are big or small.
In fact, it has been summarized very clearly.
Seeing that Uncle Ba and the others were still in shock, Ye Qing changed the subject and asked, "Why can't we see any vendors at the dock?"
Uncle Ba said sheepishly, "Old Feng and the others left when they saw that there were no fishing boats coming back."
"But I'll be here early tomorrow morning."
Ye Qing's expression relaxed. Since the merchant would come tomorrow, he didn't have to rush to the seaside port to sell fish late at night. He could just wait for the merchant to come and collect the fish tomorrow.
After a day of fishing, he and Kangzi were exhausted.
Uncle Ba asked his old friends to help, and everyone naturally agreed. They came to help. They kept most of the live fish with oxygen pumps, and put the dead fish into the low-temperature storage of the fresh fish collection ship.
Everyone was busy and happy.
After finishing my work and having a simple meal, it was almost dawn.
Uncle Ba stood on the deck and sighed, "This boatload of flying fish weighs at least 2,000 kilograms. If we sell it at the highest price, it could fetch over 30,000 yuan."
Ye Qing thought about it and realized that this trip to the sea only cost less than a thousand yuan for gas.
A huge profit!
Just as he thought, fishing at sea is very profitable, provided that you can return with a full load.
