The two sacks in front of the two men can be estimated to have a capacity of 200 kilograms, and there are two buckets, which are full of sea cucumbers.
Wu Sujuan and Qiao Xin looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Zheng Gan had picked up sea cucumbers before, but the sea cucumbers at that time were large, and basically each one had two heads, weighing only eight or nine pounds in total, which was enough to surprise people.
But what about these more than 200 kilograms of sea cucumbers in front of me?
What's going on? I've never heard of this.
Qiao Xin was a little better off, as she had witnessed the sky-high price of the wild yellow croaker with her own eyes. But Wu Sujuan was not so lucky. There were so many sea cucumbers in front of her, and she wondered how much they would cost.
"These sea cucumbers are not too big. Many of them have seven or eight heads. They can only be sold for about 120-130 yuan per kilogram," Lin Gang explained.
Thirty or forty thousand yuan may not sound like a lot, but that's because you saw Zheng Gan catching large yellow croaker and large sea cucumber, so you think it's not a lot.
But is it really not a lot? In fact, it is a lot, of course it is a lot. Picking up so many sea cucumbers in one night, it would be in the newspaper, right?
"Huh." Wu Sujuan took a deep breath. "Hurry up and sell it. We can't just leave it at home like this."
Lin Gang knew that his wife was no longer so angry, so he immediately said with a playful smile, "Xiao Gan has already contacted the seafood store in the county, and they will be here soon to take it away."
Lin Gang was coaxing Wu Sujuan on this side, and Zheng Gan was coaxing Qiao Xin on the other side.
"Can you please tell me whatever you are going to do in the future? I'm not stopping you from going, but you're making us worry so much." Qiao Xin didn't care much about the money. He was concerned about Zheng Gan.
"My dear wife, please rest assured. No matter where I go in the future, I will report to you as soon as possible. I was just afraid that you would follow me. The beach is not safe in this weather, right?" Zheng Gan made the promise with a playful smile.
"I'll forgive you this time. If you do it again, I'll tell my dad and let him deal with you." Qiao Xin raised her fist and threatened Zheng Gan.
Zheng Gan shuddered when he heard that. If he had to say who he was most afraid of, it would naturally be his father-in-law.
He quickly swore and promised that this situation would never happen again and he would never inform his father-in-law.
At the beginning, when Lin Hao saw his father and Zheng Gan being scolded, he was still laughing with glee, but as he was laughing, he realized something was wrong. Why did he feel like an extra person?
"It's so unlucky that I've been fed a mouthful of dog food." Lin Hao came to the corner of the yard and started cursing.
After a while, Wang Dongqiang came over in person.
He had already been lying down, and had been a little worried recently. First, because of the sea closure, all the good seafood was gone, but it was still okay. If the wild ones were gone, there were still farmed ones.
But then another typhoon came and destroyed the farmer's business. His seafood store almost became a decoration.
At the critical moment, Zheng Gan called and said that he had more than 200 kilograms of sea cucumbers ready to sell to him. Wang Dongqiang was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears, and he rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.
"Brother, you are so nice. You don't know how much I miss you." Wang Dongqiang came in and shook Zheng Gan's hand, saying excitedly.
Zheng Gan was speechless. He pulled his hand out without leaving a trace and said, "Brother Qiang, don't get excited. Let's take a look at these sea cucumbers first."
Wang Dongqiang then walked over and took out a few sea cucumbers from the sack to examine them. "They are of good quality, all wild sea cucumbers, and they are of decent size."
"Well, brother, if you're at ease, I'll take these sea cucumbers back, sort them out, and then charge you according to their size. What do you think?"
There are so many sea cucumbers, and the sizes are not differentiated.
Zheng Gan nodded. "No problem. Just take it away. When you're done, just transfer the money to me."
He didn't want to waste time picking and choosing at home. There were so many things that he didn't know how long it would take to finish them, and he had things to do tomorrow.
Qiao Xin and the others were chatting about the new house construction tomorrow, not caring about the selling price of these sea cucumbers at all, and left it all to Zheng Gan himself.
However, the news was still heard by the attentive Wang Dongqiang, who planned to come and take a look tomorrow anyway.
After a brief chat, Wang Dongqiang moved all the sea cucumbers back and planned to work overtime tonight to sort them all out.
All the work was done and it was time to rest. Zheng Gan sent Qiao Xin home, packed up and lay down to sleep. He had to start work on the new house tomorrow morning and needed a good rest.
......
Starting construction of a new house is a very important event in the village. First, you have to choose a good day, and then you have to prepare auspicious items, such as red incense and candles, as well as red envelopes for the start of construction, gold shovels, gold hammers, firecrackers or salutes, etc.
After that, we have to offer sacrifices, post notes, say some auspicious words, give out red envelopes, and finally eat.
Anyway, there are a lot of rules. Although Zheng Gan doesn't need to prepare the things, he must perform the ceremony.
The start time of work was set at 9:36 in the morning.
Zheng Gan and Lin Gang arrived earlier at seven in the morning, and Lao Hong from the construction team also came early to help.
Fortunately, the typhoon left last night and the weather is good today, otherwise the groundbreaking ceremony would not have gone so smoothly.
By nearly nine o'clock, everything was ready and we were just waiting for the auspicious time to officially begin.
Because the typhoon had just passed, most of the villagers went to the beach to pick up seafood, so there were not many people at the scene.
Qiao Xin's family of three, Lin Hao's family of three, all the people at the scene were family members, and then there were people from the construction team.
Besides them, the first person to come over was the village brigade secretary, Zheng Shantong.
"Fifth Master, how can I trouble you to come over for such a small matter?" Zheng Gan took a few quick steps to Zheng Shantong and said with a smile.
"You call me Fifth Master, how can I not come?" Zheng Shantong looked at the construction site with a smile, "Agan, you've grown up now. It's time to build a house and start a family."
Zheng Gan smiled shyly, looked at Qiao Xin who was not far away, and said, "What you said is true. I have grown up now, and naturally I have to take on the responsibilities of a man."
"Okay, okay, that's a good point. I was right about you. You are a man. If you have any problems in the village in the future, just come to me. Go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me." Zheng Shantong patted Zheng Gan on the shoulder and went to chat with Lin Gang and Qiao Zhengdong.
"Brother, I'm not late, am I?" Wang Dongqiang also came.
Zheng Gan was stunned. "It's not Brother Qiang, why are you here?"
"What you said is that today is a good day for your family's new business. As your elder brother, can I come over and lend a hand?" Wang Dongqiang deliberately put on a stern face.
