Chapter 131 Comforting Da Yuanyuan
The group came to the kitchen and each gulped down a large bowl of salt water to relieve the dryness in their mouths.
After taking a breath, Zhang Ze found that his mood had recovered a lot after he had vented some energy by fishing for a tiger shark.
After looking at the pork and other things he bought in the afternoon, he finally decided not to go tiger shark fishing that night and go home first.
"Qing He Qing Hu, why don't you go back first? I'm sorry for bothering you today. I'll invite you to have dinner at Weiyou Restaurant next time when I'm free."
Zhang Qinghe was startled, then smiled and said, "Are you feeling better?"
Zhang Ze shook his head: "I can't say I'm in a bad mood, I just have some anger stuck in my heart that I want to vent."
He didn't want to tell outsiders about the two elders' weird remarks and the final decision made by Zhang's mother, but this matter did make him very unhappy.
He has lived for decades and has seen many strange people, and even some things that have shattered people's worldviews have happened in the village.
But when it happens to me, I feel speechless and it's very frustrating.
He felt that his previous life was better, at least he knew nothing. After the two old people passed away, he just went to see them off.
Now that I think about it, it's not just these two old people who are weird. The families of the so-called eldest uncle and second uncle seem to be similar, all quite weird.
There is also an uncle in the village who took in his niece who had lost her parents and raised her as his own daughter.
As a result, their so-called relatives either hated them for not going down to accompany their son, or planned to take the family property and kicked them out in disguise.
Fortunately, I was able to vent my anger through the shark, and I felt much better.
He chose to go home now because he was considering that even if he caught a tiger shark later, he would not be able to collect it into the space to gain experience points. So why waste the effort? Then Zhang Ze drove the boat back to the dock. When he was thinking about how to deal with the tiger shark, he found that there was a new announcement at the dock.
It turns out that the fishery administration believes that the large number of ferocious sharks near the coast may threaten the lives of fishermen and ferry passengers, so it has issued a special announcement to encourage fishermen to catch sharks that may threaten personal safety.
For example, large sharks such as white sharks, tiger sharks, blue sharks, etc.
All fishermen who catch this type of shark can transport the shark to the aquaculture station, which will give the fishermen a certain reward based on the type of shark, weight, etc.
"Fuck, my shark fin factory is gone just like that?"
This thought popped into Zhang Ze’s mind after he saw the announcement.
As long as there is money to be made, he knows very well how powerful the people are. This is just like a village near a mountain organizing hunters to collectively hunt wild boars that destroy the farm.
One organized action can almost eliminate all the wild boars in the mountains.
Even if he were reborn, he would still remember the tiger-hunting operations a few years ago. Three of the five tigers died that day, and the remaining two were forced to jump into the sea to escape and were eventually buried in the sea.
It is obvious that sharks in the coastal waters of Wenshui City will face an extinction-level blow in the next period of time.
"Fuck, why are we going home now, Aze? Let's continue fishing for sharks tonight?" Zhang Qinghe also saw the announcement and looked very excited.
"Let me see what the situation is. You can make your own arrangements. You don't have to come with me." Zhang Ze had planned to go out to sea at night, but he was only going to go alone.
It was too big a target during the day, and now the sea was filled with boats, so he had basically no chance of catching the shark in his fishing space.
He could only do it at night when it was dark. If the visibility was poor, he could make it more hidden and make use of the space.
In other words, my wife must be feeling sorry for herself. She will probably have to stay alone in the empty room for the next few nights.
Zhang Qinghe was a little disappointed. He actually wanted to be with Zhang Ze and felt that he could learn a lot from him.
But after fishing the shark, he was sore all over and was not in the best condition. He wanted to go back and have a good rest before doing some big work tomorrow.
So he nodded and helped to send the tiger shark on Zhang Ze’s boat to the fishery station.
As soon as they entered the aquatic station, they saw all kinds of sharks with sharp teeth in their mouths. However, his three-meter-long tiger shark was still quite conspicuous and attracted the attention of many people.
At present, everyone is lining up to buy sharks. Some people send one like him, while others directly send several baskets.
The aquatic station buys all sharks regardless of size, and there are staff on site to cut the shark fins.
The sharks with their fins cut off will be sent away, and their livers will probably be taken out to make cod liver oil. As for the shark meat, Zhang Ze is not sure how it will be handled, but it will probably be used.
Soon, it was his turn.
"This tiger shark is big enough!" The staff praised it, and then several people arranged to weigh and measure it.
Just now, Zhang Ze had seen in the announcement that some of the more dangerous sharks were measured, but ordinary, non-dangerous sharks were not measured, and he felt a little curious.
"Do you measure every shark?"
"No, only the dangerous sharks listed in the notice need to be caught. Our aquaculture station has cooperation with shark fin factories and pharmaceutical factories. Such sharks will be given extra rewards based on their length."
"Your shark is three meters and two meters long. You are very lucky. You can get an extra thirty yuan reward."
Zhang Ze suddenly realized that it was no wonder that they were buying so many sharks. It turned out that they were cooperating with shark fin factories and pharmaceutical factories.
"You guys are rewarding ten yuan per meter!"
The staff pointed to the door and said, "Look, there's a notice at the door. Five yuan for sharks under two meters, twenty to fifty yuan for sharks between two and five meters, and one hundred yuan for sharks over five meters."
So that's how it is. Zhang Ze thought that the reward would be ten yuan per meter, and the fishermen would make a fortune.
If the reward is only five yuan for fish under two meters, the reward cost paid by the fishery station will be greatly reduced, although the money may not only be paid by the fishery station.
After weighing, Zhang Ze's shark weighed 466.5 jin, and the fishery station purchased it at a price of 0.22 yuan.
So he got 132.63 yuan for this fish, which was not a low price. But Zhang Ze knew that the two factories could make more money from this shark.
Therefore, when he thought about the fact that the great white shark was only sold for 200 yuan, his heart ached. It was a huge loss. That shark was probably more than two tons. Even if it was 2.2 yuan per pound, it could be sold for more than 400 yuan, and there was a 100 yuan reward. But the rip-off Ocean Research Institute only gave him 200 yuan.
Although he felt sad, he still gave fifty cents to Zhang Qinghe and his brother.
After all, I contributed in the afternoon, so it’s not inappropriate to be blamed.
However, the two brothers refused to accept it and refused no matter what. Finally, they agreed to treat them to dinner at Weiyou Restaurant.
After cleaning the fishing boat, Zhang Ze went home carrying the meat and vegetables he bought in the afternoon.
When he returned home, he thought all the doors were closed, but he didn't expect that Zhang Qian and others were doing business with the door open.
"Brother, why are you back? Where's mom?" Zhang Qian, who had just packed a portion of fish balls for a customer at the door, noticed him the first time.
Hearing her voice, Tong Shuyao and Zhang Qing also hurried out.
"Mom is going to stay in the village for a few days, so I came back first. How did you open the store?" Zhang Ze parked his bicycle directly at the door and took the meat and vegetables in.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Tong Shuyao explained: "You made too many fish balls this morning, and we couldn't finish them all, so we shared some and ended up with a lot left. We were afraid they would go bad, so we tried to sell them, and they turned out to be quite popular."
Zhang Qing raised her little face and asked for credit: "Brother, are we awesome?"
"Great!" Zhang Ze gave a thumbs up and praised without hesitation.
As for whether several women opening a shop would cause trouble, he was not that worried about that.
The streets here are mostly state-owned stores, so no hooligans dare to mess with them.
To collect protection money or extort money, they would go to those small streets that are not strictly managed or are more remote.
Here, if one store is in trouble, people in other nearby stores will definitely not stand idly by. Although this era is chaotic, the people have a strong sense of justice and there are many people who do good deeds.
Judge Jinling was a great man who successfully changed the national atmosphere with his own personal ability.
"Aze, what happened in the village?" Tong Shuyao asked.
"Zhang Wen, my blood cousin, went fishing with two people and encountered a tiger shark. Two of them were eaten by a shark. He luckily escaped, but he also lost a leg."
"My grandpa and grandpa are seriously ill. Because of my dad, my mom decided to take good care of them in their final days."
Ever since Zhang Ze knew the reason why the two old people ignored them, he couldn't call them grandpa and grandma anymore.
Sisters Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing did not react much after hearing this. They also had no feelings towards that family.
Only Tong Shuyao was surprised. She didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Zhang Wen was lucky enough to survive. Fishermen from the production team on Lumen Island also encountered giant sharks several times before, and some people died."
Zhang Ze shook his head: "There's nothing we can do about it. The wooden boat is too small. If the shark hits it a few times, it will either capsize or fall apart."
"By the way, there is an announcement at the dock that you can get extra rewards by fishing for sharks. I plan to go out to sea at night in the next few days. Sharks are more active at night and easier to fish for, so I will leave Shuyao to you two to take care of at night."
"Isn't it too dangerous to fish for sharks?" Tong Shuyao looked a little worried when she heard this.
"It's okay. When I came back today, I caught a three-meter tiger shark. Big sharks like this can't threaten me. Besides, there are javelins on the boat, and I can kill them with one shot." Zhang Ze waved his hand with a relaxed look, indicating that there was no problem at all.
A few people thought about it and it made sense. He had encountered a six-meter great white shark before, and he was fine, right?
Zhang Ze prepared dinner and closed the shop early when he saw that the fish balls were almost sold out.
He was going to go out again late at night, so he took a shower and then lay down on the bed with his wife in his arms.
The sisters Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing brought their quilts and pillows to the house next to theirs and lived next to his recently. If anything happened to Tong Shuyao, they could come over immediately.
But generally speaking, there won't be any problem, and she can move around easily in the early stages of pregnancy.
Zhang Ze hugged his wife and touched her belly with his big hand. It was still as flat and soft as before.
"It's so itchy, what are you doing!" Tong Shuyao's body trembled noticeably when her waist was touched, and then she took his hand away in annoyance.
"I'm just checking to see if your belly has gotten bigger!" Zhang Ze chuckled and stretched his hand back to comfort the somewhat angry Da Tuan Tuan.
"It's been less than two months, there's no change at all!" Tong Shuyao had no way to deal with his hands. Every day when she woke up, either Tuan Tuan was comforted or Yuan Yuan was subdued. She had gotten used to it.
At first I thought it was a period novel, so I drew on real stories of my friends. But I found that book fans now don’t like family gossip, so I changed the outline and plot a lot.
But the background storyline has been explained, and there is no way to revise it from the beginning. It feels inappropriate to put it aside, so I just end it.
Weird people are indeed weird, and their train of thought is really incomprehensible. But now the two old people are gone, and my friend has already let it go.
This friend is a real friend, not me. My family is quite harmonious. Although my grandparents are partial, my grandma is the only one who treats my mom badly. She is still nice to me.
The next plot is about fishing and some interesting things told by my father, and nothing else.
After writing a period novel, I realized that it was not suitable for me. I felt very restricted when writing it, but since I had started writing it, I had to finish it.
If you are willing to read, please continue reading. I will finish the book. If you don't like this kind of subject matter, please don't force it. You are welcome to come back for the next book.
