Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue both nodded vigorously; this was absolutely feasible.
It smells delicious just thinking about it.
Su Luo nodded, "Okay."
"Ah~"
Okay, okay.
Su Tiantian also made a sound to indicate that she agreed.
Everyone laughed.
...
The father and his two sons had a very smooth voyage.
The first cast of the net was a disaster. The two brothers gritted their teeth and pulled the net up, and fresh golden pomfret bobbed in the net, their bodies gleaming in the sunlight.
Both brothers smiled.
"Dad, today it's golden pomfret! We're rich! We're rich!"
The price is similar to that of Spanish mackerel; the larger the fish, the more valuable it is, and these ones are all quite large.
Each net can catch hundreds of kilograms, earning several hundred yuan a day.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
Su Dahai smiled.
The three of them smiled at each other and got back to work.
The basking shark sea god has brought the fish right to their mouths, so there's no reason for them to slack off.
His arms gradually became too heavy to lift, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and the fishing net tore again.
It was already late afternoon, and they were about to head back to Hong Kong.
"Phew... I'm exhausted."
Su Chengguo lay on the deck and stuffed a sugar biscuit into her mouth, chewing it slowly.
Su Chengguo sat there, observing the situation on the sea.
I just saw that the basking shark's dorsal fin has moved away.
Su Dahai took the helm and began his journey home.
As they approach the coastline, the number of fishing boats increases.
Liu, who was collecting fish, was on the shore. He waved to Su Chengguo from afar and said, "Hey, there are a lot of golden pomfret today. Many people have caught quite a lot, but you guys still have the most."
Not only was it the largest, but the goods were also the best; the Su family's boat alone carried several thousand kilograms of cargo.
This brings in several hundred more dollars.
"Brother Liu, stop joking. Let's get weighed quickly so we can go home. I'm so tired I can't even lift my arms. All I want to do now is go home, take a shower, and lie down."
While moving the fish, Su Chengguo talked to Liu, the fish buyer, because his arms were really tired and swollen.
"Okay, I have good news for you. Your family picked a lot of sea cucumbers today. You'll have plenty to eat when you get home. No matter how tired you are, eating these good things will make up for it."
Liu, the fish collector, said with a smile that the sea cucumbers were delicious, and he had already eaten them at noon, but he still wanted more.
Su Chengguo's eyes lit up: "Wow, then I have to hurry home."
Liu, who was collecting fish, laughed it off.
After the fish were weighed, Liu, the fish buyer, spoke again: "You guys really pulled out all the stops today! Two thousand seven hundred catties, three cents a catty, that's eight hundred and ten yuan in total. Take the remaining two buckets home and eat them yourselves, you're in for a treat."
There were also two buckets of good fish, all of which were large ones personally selected by Su Chengguo, making Liu, the fish buyer, exclaim that she was too generous.
In the past, people would sell the best products, but now it's the other way around. They'd rather have smaller, cheaper products to enjoy themselves.
Su Chengguo smiled and nodded: "A person only has a mouth to feed."
Looking back on the past, my mind was filled with the words "not worth it"; looking at the present, my mind is filled with happiness.
"By the way, the date for seeing the boat is set for the day after tomorrow at noon. Come find me the day after tomorrow at noon and I'll take you aboard to see it."
When Liu, the fishmonger, remembered the Su family buying a large boat, he smiled and gave them a definite answer.
Su Dahai and his two sons all nodded happily, as this was the most important matter.
Liu, the fish collector, said hello and went to collect fish from other boats.
Su Dahai said to Su Chengguo, "You take the fish home first, and your older brother and I will pack up the tools later."
Let's take these fish home early so we can add some to our dinner tonight.
Su Chengguo nodded, picked up the two buckets of fish, and set off.
As usual, he shouted loudly at the door, "Mom, Chunmei, I'm home."
Upon hearing the shouts, Zhou Chunmei ran to open the door to greet them.
"There are so many golden pomfret! We can't finish them all. We'll dry the rest and eat them slowly."
Liu Xiaohua then came out and, seeing so many fish, smiled and made arrangements.
The fish I brought home that I didn't finish in two meals was dried and will be eaten slowly when we're not at sea.
"Fish Collector Liu said you guys had a great catch today too."
Su Chengguo asked Zhou Chunmei with a smile.
Zhou Chunmei chuckled and replied, "A-Luo was incredibly lucky. We picked so many sea cucumbers that our backs ached, and we made several hundred yuan from them. A-Luo was generous and gave my sister-in-law and me two hundred yuan each."
Zhou Chunmei felt happy just thinking about it, and the porridge she ate at noon tasted delicious.
"That's right, even an old woman like me who never leaves the house has to pay fifty yuan."
Liu Xiaohua chimed in.
Su Chengguo laughed: "Then you guys are really lucky."
Thinking about it, I feel both envious and impressed. They just hold the little guy and have good luck every day, while Su Luo holds and feeds him. She wants the whole ocean to be hers.
"Everything is fine, everything is fine."
After Liu Xiaohua finished speaking with a smile, she reached out and pinched Su Chengguo's arm, causing Su Chengguo to hiss in pain.
Liu Xiaohua stopped her hand with a pained expression: "Go wash up quickly, and I'll have your wife give you a good massage later."
Su Chengguo nodded and went to wash up first.
When Su Dahai and Su Chenggong returned, they put away their tools and went to wash up.
Liu Xiaohua quickly picked out three of the largest golden pomfret to process.
This is used to add dishes.
Su Luo brought Su Tiantian out. She put Su Tiantian in the cradle and then put on gloves to help kill the fish.
"That's unnecessary..."
Liu Xiaohua was interrupted by Su Luo before she could finish speaking.
"Mom, I'll help kill them faster."
Su Luo smiled slightly; she used to be an expert at cleaning fish at home.
On the contrary, her two sisters-in-law only learned to live in the fishing village later. In a family, everyone should be considerate of each other. Her two sisters-in-law were busy cleaning fish all day and had other things to do later. How could she just stand by and do nothing?
Liu Xiaohua didn't say anything more, she just focused on quickly processing the golden pomfret, she just wanted to finish it as fast as possible.
There were two buckets of golden pomfret, with more than forty fish in total. By the time Su Chengguo and the others finished washing up, they had already processed most of them.
The fish's internal organs were all piled up in a heap.
After all the fish were killed, Liu Xiaohua quickly said, "You all wash your hands and go back inside. Leave the rest to me."
Both sons were very filial; their arms were red and swollen, but Su Dahai was alright.
Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue nodded, washed their hands, and went back inside.
"Ah Luo, you've only recently finished your postpartum period, you shouldn't overexert yourself. Rest, Mom can take care of these things."
Liu Xiaohua took over the rest of the work, forcing Su Luo to rest.
Su Luo sat by the cradle, slowly knitting a sweater.
The weather will get colder in a few months, so I have time to knit a sweater now. It will be perfect for my little darling to wear when it gets cold.
Su Tiantian lay comfortably in her cradle, laughing as she listened to her second uncle's occasional screams.
"Oh dear~"
My second uncle and aunt are having so much fun playing inside the house.
She was infected by it too, and couldn't help but laugh, she just couldn't stop.
During dinner that evening, Su Dahai took a sip of wine and said, "We won't be going out to sea tomorrow. We'll rest for a day, and then go to see the ship the day after tomorrow. If there are no unexpected issues, we'll finalize the deal with the big ship."
