The crowd hadn't completely dispersed even after several fish buyers had taken their catch off the dock.
They were still enthusiastically discussing the various grouper that had never been seen before and had only been heard of in legends, which had been unloaded from Chen Hong's boat. Today, everyone had their eyes opened.
The vast majority of fish are tropical fish that live in the southern seas, and only a very few appear in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in the north.
Seeing that Chen Hongguang had live and frozen fish, the settlement amounted to over 700,000 yuan, not even including the price of eleven bluefin tuna!
Everyone present was filled with envy and discussed the feasibility of going fishing in the southern ocean together, as it seemed that the further south one went, the richer the marine resources became.
Looking at Chen Hong's luxurious fishing boat and then at his own dilapidated tin sampan, he could only sigh in vain, unable to compare. Unless his family could afford a new boat worth a few hundred thousand.
The combined value of half the boats at this dock is only about the same as Chen Hong's boats. Who would really be willing to spend 700,000 or 800,000 yuan to buy a fishing boat?
Unless it's a joint investment, but that won't work either; past life experience tells them that joint ventures are not a good business.
Not only will you not make money, but you may also cause friends and relatives to turn against you.
There's no other way now, I can only envy others. Tomorrow I'll just take my little wrecked boat and wander around in the coastal waters.
I don't ask to get rich anymore, I just want to live a peaceful and safe life, and make sure my family has enough to eat and drink.
After seeing off the four buyers, Chen Hong cleaned up the fishing boat with Uncle Erhu's family and transferred 1,000 yuan to Uncle Erhu.
Uncle Erhu was shocked when he saw it. "Chen Hong, you transferred the wrong amount, didn't you? There shouldn't be this much, right? It should only be a little over 700 yuan."
Chen Hong smiled and said, "I'm happy because we've had a good harvest this time. I'll give you all a bonus too. It's not much, Uncle, you can keep it. Let's all be happy."
After saying that, he handed Uncle Erhu a bucket containing four or five pounds of ribbonfish and two large crabs. "Take these back and eat them too. I specially kept these for our families to share."
Uncle Erhu stopped refusing, knowing she was sincere in giving it to him, so he took the bucket of fish and, along with his wife and daughter-in-law, pushed the fishing gear home.
After Chen Hong and the other two uncles had gone far away, they returned to the cabin. The dock was already deserted, with only a few people still waiting for the fishing boats to return to port.
Chen Hong put on a military overcoat, entered the cryogenic chamber, pulled the five underwater vehicles out from under the ice, and stored them in her spatial storage. She planned to deliver them to the coast guard department on her way to settle accounts at the Dragon Palace Hotel the next day.
There were too many people watching the excitement at the pier tonight. I brought back too much fish from this trip, and even though I had tried to control the quantity, it still attracted a lot of attention.
Chen Hong didn't dare reveal these underwater vehicles. After locking the fishing boat and the live water tank, he took Black Tiger and got into the pickup truck, then sped home.
I've been busy all evening and haven't had a chance to ask Uncle Erhu about the hotel. How are things going? Chen Hong was still quite concerned about it when she went out to sea.
After driving back to the villa, Chen Hong got out of the car, took out her keys to open the door, and Black Tiger followed her out of the car. Black Tiger lay down at the door and barked softly. Chen Hong then heard Glasses scratching at the gate from inside the yard.
It turned out that Glasses had heard Chen Hong and Black Tiger return and was waiting at the gate. Chen Hong opened the gate and pushed it open as wide as possible, preparing to drive the car into the yard.
With a "snap," the light at the first-floor entrance turned on, and the living room door opened. It turned out that Uncle Village Chief had come out after hearing the noise. When he saw that Chen Hong had returned, he quickly came over to help open the door.
After driving the car into the yard, the father and son closed and locked the gate together. "Chen Hong, what time did you get back? You haven't eaten yet, have you? You didn't even call ahead so I could wake your aunt up and cook for you."
Chen Hong quickly stopped the village chief, "Uncle, please don't disturb my aunt. She's sleeping soundly. Don't wake her anymore."
I'm already home, so there's nothing else to do. You should go back to sleep. I'll make myself something to eat and then go straight to bed. You should go back to sleep too, don't worry about me, it's too late.
Chen Hong sent the village chief back to sleep, changed her shoes first, and without even washing up, went to the kitchen to cook herself a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
She fed the two dogs a few meat buns and two pieces of beef, and then wolfed down her noodles; she was really hungry tonight.
Less than an hour after entering the house, the woman and her two dogs had eaten their fill. Glasses also got a late-night snack and kept rubbing against Chen Hong's feet and circling around. It was hard to tell whether he missed his owner or was happy with the meat buns.
The village chief and his wife couldn't bear to feed their dogs meat buns; they would only give them leftovers and raise them like pigs.
Chen Hong and her son Yu Yang never stopped the dog from eating leftovers. The elderly woman had been frugal her whole life and didn't intentionally mistreat the dog.
The older generation always fed their dogs and cats this way, without ever using cat food or dog food, and the dogs and cats still grew up healthy and shiny.
Not only do they rarely suffer from delicate illnesses, but they also help guard the house and yard. Some dogs can even help hunt and look after children, and they are particularly intelligent and humane.
Sometimes Chen Hong and Yu Yang would secretly feed the dog some good food, but of course they couldn't let the village elders see it.
After all, they are from two different generations, and some of their views are different, but there is no need to create a clash or try to figure out who is right and who is wrong.
For better or for worse, the older generation has lived for fifty or sixty years and has some experience that younger people don't have.
Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Sometimes, young people should learn from the elderly, especially in terms of interpersonal relationships and how to conduct themselves in society.
