Lao Li returned to the fishing grounds. Hai Ge, who was broadcasting live, asked him, "Why are you back?"
Lao Li waved the bait in his hand and said, "I went to buy bait."
Hai Ge thought to himself, these fish are like taking drugs now, no bait will work, right?
He looked at the number of people watching him and suddenly felt a little worried.
The fishing conditions in Xingzhou Island were good before, and he could gain a lot of fans every time he went fishing. For this reason, he canceled his plan to go out to sea and only broadcast the Xingzhou Island fishing special. The club supported his decision very much and even increased his salary. Who knew that the fish catch in the past two days was not very good!
Seeing that many viewers had left again, he was anxious!
Lao Li waited for the shrimp bricks to thaw, and then made a nest according to his previous habit, and then baited them.
There was no movement on Haige's fishing rod, so he simply went back to the fishing platform. These anglers did not get nothing, as their fishing rods did have some fish, but they were all the least valuable bluefin bream.
When Haige returned to his original fishing position, a fish happened to be bitten on one of Lao Li's fishing rods. He calmly reeled in the rod, and Haige pointed his phone at him: "Are you going to reel in the fish?"
Sure enough, the audience suddenly increased, and a group of people were guessing whether the fish was a big fish or a small fish.
Before the fish completely surfaced, Lao Li and Hai Ge saw it: "Is it a black porgy?"
In order to mobilize the audience's emotions, Hai Ge said excitedly: "It looks like it's more than half a catty, fifty yuan a rod, brothers!"
After the lively fish completely left the water, Lao Li smiled.
This fish is indeed a black porgy, and it looks like it weighs less than a catty. The market price during the fishing ban period is 70 yuan a catty. If he catches two more, he will make back his investment today!
Brother Hai, who knew the fishing conditions at the fishing grounds these days, said sincerely: "Brother, you are not bad!"
Lao Li smiled, put on the bait and cast the rod again: "Maybe the bait is good."
Brother Hai was itching to see that his rod had not moved for a long time, so he ran to the convenience store and bought some bait from Li Yaolin.
When he bought the bait, the camera just flashed by, but the audience saw Li Yaolin with sharp eyes and said: "This boss lady looks fair, beautiful and pure. Anchor, let everyone take another look at her."
"Yes, she looks very white. Wouldn't she get tanned on the island?"
"What do you know? That should be the boss lady. She stays in the store every day, how could she get tanned?"
Brother Hai saw the barrage, bought the bait and ran away quickly. After he walked away, he explained: "It is impolite to take pictures of people without their permission."
His words won the favor of many viewers, and more people gave him gifts. He was so happy that he said a few more words: "But the store manager is really beautiful and young. Listen to her!" He just graduated from college."
Some viewers started talking like a wise guy: "Those who can open convenience stores in scenic spots are all rich and powerful, not to mention a fresh graduate from college, he must have connections up there, right?"
Some people were just trying to take advantage of the situation: "Host, can you please get a V-signal for me? Funny.jpg"
Haige ignored these comments, thinking, not to mention that he had tried to add a friend but failed, even if he succeeded in adding a friend, he would not have pushed it to them.
As Haige returned to the fishing platform to continue fishing, the topic gradually turned back to fishing.
Lao Li over there had already caught his third fish. The second one was a blue grouper weighing about one and a half pounds, which he caught with a heavy rock fishing rod. This one was also a black sea bream.
He caught three fish in a row, and the anglers around him all ran to watch and talk. Now everyone knew that he used the bait and bait sold on Xingzhou Island.
Some anglers decisively went to buy bait, while others did not believe it and did not want to waste the bait they brought, so they continued to fish for their bluefin bream.
In the afternoon, the number of tourists who went to the manual window to buy tickets decreased, so Li Yaolin asked one of the ticket sellers to guard the convenience store, and he went back to the office to organize the documents he would bring to the meeting tomorrow. She had
to go to a meeting tomorrow morning, and it was inconvenient to live on the island, so she returned to the rental house she had not set foot in for a long time. The landlady saw her and asked her where she had been recently, and if she didn't come back, she would call the police.
Li Yaolin didn't expect that the landlady would still care about her so much, which touched her, who had always been a loner: "I work on Xingzhou Island, so I often live there."
The landlady said "Oh", and then said: "This month's rent should be paid."
Li Yaolin: "..."
Tsk, she returned her touch to her.
Li Yaolin had not planned to rent a house outside for a long time. Now that she has a place to stay on the island, she doesn't need to continue renting a house here, so she discussed the matter of canceling the lease with the landlady.
The landlady was a little unhappy, and even tried to retain her by reducing the rent. However, after learning that there was an employee dormitory on Xingzhou Island, she finally canceled the rent for her while muttering.
The landlady was hesitant when canceling the lease, but she was very straightforward after canceling the lease, allowing Li Yaolin to live until the day after tomorrow and move out.
After solving this problem, Li Yaolin prepared to go to the market to buy vegetables for dinner. When he walked around the pier, he saw Lao Li and other anglers who had just got off the last boat.
They were radiant, as if their stagnant careers had suddenly taken off, and everyone had a confident smile on their faces that said "I can do it again."
There were fishmongers waiting at the pier, and when they saw them, they greeted them: "How was the catch today?"
Lao Li put the bucket in front of the fishmongers and put on a reserved look: "Better than the last two days."
The fishmongers came over and laughed: "This is not your normal level, you really went fishing the last two days, didn't you?"
Lao Li's smile froze, not fishing at all, it was obvious that the fish on Xingzhou Island didn't like to eat bait from outside! Didn't you see that the big catch today was from anglers who bought bait at the convenience store?
For this reason, he even reminded his fellow anglers in the group, telling them not to bother bringing bait from outside, as the fish here only eat bait from Xingzhou Island.
"I'll give you 60 yuan per pound for black porgy and yellow grouper." One of the fishmongers picked out the black porgy and blue grouper, and sorted the other fish into different categories.
"No, 70 yuan." Lao Li said.
"Can I still make money if I buy it for 70 yuan?" The fishmonger bargained with him.
Lao Li snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know that the fish in the Xingzhou Island fishing grounds are much more delicious than those raised in fish farms. People will buy them no matter how high the price is."
In the beginning, anglers had to find fishmongers to buy the fish after they caught them. In most cases, the fish they caught were worthless, so anglers could only take them home to eat.
But now there are fishmongers squatting at the pier, just to collect the fish caught from the Xingzhou Island fishing grounds, because these fish are easy to sell, and there are many repeat customers, and some people even make reservations from them.
Other fishmongers envy their peers for their good business. After asking around, they found that their fish are all collected from the fishermen.
What good fish can you get from the fishermen? And only a dozen pounds, the profit is not enough to compensate for the shipping cost.
However, one or two fishermen may not have many fish, but there are many fishermen in Xingzhou Island!
At least 40 fishermen come to the island every day. Newcomers may catch less fish, but experienced fishermen like Lao Li, who have been fishing for more than ten years, can easily catch 40 to 50 kilograms a day. Together, these fishermen have caught nearly 1,000 kilograms of fish.
The fishmongers bargained with Lao Li and his friends, and finally bought black bream and blue grouper at 68 yuan per kilogram. The other cheaper fish generally ranged from 20 to 50 yuan. The fishmongers did not want to buy cheaper and more common fish, so the fishermen took them home to eat.
Lao Li received more than 500 yuan. He caught five black bream weighing more than half a kilogram, three blue groupers, twelve stone dogs, and one sea eel.
Excluding the expenses for boat tickets, entrance fees and fish bait, he earned nearly 300 yuan. Before buying fish bait from Li Yaolin, he brought some bait from outside, which cost 80 yuan. If he could save this money, he could still earn more than 300 yuan.
Old Li happily carried the fishing gear and the remaining fish home.
Li Yaolin watched the whole process and was a little confused. Is there any difference between the fish from Xingzhou Island and the fish raised in the fish farm?
She heard that the taste of fish raised in the fish farm is not much different from that of wild fish. The reason for the price difference is people's blind pursuit of "wild" and the economic principle of "scarcity makes things expensive".
Of course, even if the fish are raised from the same fish fillet, the price will be very different, which is mainly linked to the breeding technology: the breeding technology is difficult, the cost is high, and the price is high; some fish that can be raised in large quantities have mature breeding technology and low cost, so they are naturally cheap.
Li Yaolin bought a blue grouper weighing about half a catty from a fisherman, and then went to the market to buy a blue grouper of the same size raised in a cage. - To the naked eye, there is still a big difference between farmed and wild ones. For example, the skin of farmed fish is darker and the spots on the body are larger; the spots of wild ones are orange-yellow, small and have obvious stripes.
She used the steaming method to cook the two fish, put the same ingredients on them, and then used the same heat and time to cook the two fish.
After the fish came out of the pot, she ate the farmed grouper first and found that the meat was very thick and firm. To put it nicely, it was chewy, but to her, as an ordinary person, it tasted like chicken breast, with a general taste and a fishy smell.
Then she ate the grouper caught in the waters of Xingzhou Island. At the first bite, she felt that it was no different from the farmed ones, but after eating it, she found that there were still some differences: although its meat was equally firm, it was very tender and smooth when it entered the throat, and the fishy smell was not so strong. I don’t know if it was because of the sauce, but there was a little sweetness.
The second bite brought a better taste experience than the first bite, making people want to eat the next bite after eating this one, and soon the whole fish was eaten.
"No wonder these fish have become so picky." Li Yaolin had an endless aftertaste.
Although the taste of the farmed blue grouper did not meet her expectations, she still ate the fish in accordance with the principle of not wasting.
Fortunately, she did not cook rice, otherwise she would not be able to finish it.
Li Yaolin's move was not entirely to clarify the difference between wild fish and farmed fish. As the owner of the island, she wanted to increase the popularity of Xingzhou Island, so she had to tap into the advantages of the island. The seafood in the fishing grounds is one of the advantages.
She did not want to open a restaurant on the island before. In addition to the trouble, she was also worried that the food was not delicious and the high price would cause complaints from tourists.
Now, if she can open a seafood restaurant and get a stable supply of seafood from the waters of Xingzhou Island, she won’t have to worry about diners complaining that the food is not tasty.
However, a restaurant must provide a large amount of seafood ingredients, and the seafood recovered from the fishermen is not enough. If it is caught, it goes against her original intention of setting up a no-fishing zone, and it will also damage the ecological environment.
Thinking of this, she shook the APP: "Next time, go to the 'Poseidon Market' to do something practical, right? For example, seafood wholesale or something."
Poseidon Holiday APP: "..."
Are you the system or am I the system?
I have never seen an island owner who can turn the tables like this!

There will be another update at 18:00, which is tomorrow, the 23rd, and it will be updated in advance.

*Instant noodles mumbling*
Blue grouper has different names in different places. In Lingnan, it is called yellow grouper, and some call it blue grouper. However, another species of grouper is also called blue grouper. This blue grouper is cheap and can be raised, but the taste is much worse than blue grouper.
There are also red groupers that are called red groupers in some places, but the fish called red groupers are different species of fish. The names of these fish really make people dizzy_(:3」∠)_
