Chapter 78: Uninhabited Reef Island [First Order Request]
After a while, Ou Shuxiang came back on his bicycle. Zhang Ze felt relieved when he saw that he was alone.
However, he did not go over immediately. Instead, he waited for a while before pushing his bicycle over.
He took out the key and opened the door. When Ou Shuxiang saw him, he asked in confusion, "You've already delivered all these things, why are you out again? Aren't you afraid that I'll take your things and run away?"
Zhang Ze parked his bike and couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say that: "If you only came with these little things, why would you cooperate with me? After I delivered the things, I saw that you hadn't arrived yet, so I took a walk around to get familiar with the surroundings."
Ou Shuxiang didn't think much about it. When he saw him come back, he took out the beam scale he brought with him.
Zhang Ze first weighed his bamboo basket with a beam scale, showed him the weight, then picked up the scoop net to scoop up the fish, weighing the oil spots first.
The oil stain weighs 11.7 jin, and the weight it gets is the same as the data given by the space. Obviously, this scale is accurate.
"You should know this spotted grouper, right? Besides the red grouper, this is the most delicious grouper here."
Ou Shuxiang nodded: "Of course I know you. I've received a few messages before, but none as big as yours."
After that, he hesitated and asked again: "This fish is so big, will the meat be tough?"
"It's only about ten pounds, how can the meat be old? This fish is just like the red grouper, the bigger the fish is, the tastier it is, especially when it's this fat. The red grouper is about 6.5 yuan now, and this fish is 4.5 yuan a pound. Is this acceptable to you?"
Zhang Ze actually didn't inquire about the specific price, but his impression was that the price of sea grouper after two years was about eight yuan, and the fishmonger bought it for about six yuan.
It's a few years early now, and the asking price of six dollars and fifty is actually about the same. He feels that the oil spot should be about the same if it's two dollars cheaper.
When he heard that it would cost four dollars and fifty cents, Ou Shuxiang hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
The ones he collected before were almost dead, and the price was three dollars and eighty cents. Zhang Ze's fish was really lively. The water almost splashed on him when it swung its tail. It was normal for such a fresh fish to be more expensive.
If there were more of this kind of high-quality grouper, the price would be higher, but in the end the money will be paid by the factory anyway.
Seeing that Ou Shuxiang agreed, Zhang Ze picked up the notebook, wrote down the weight of the oil spot, and put it back into the bucket, and then continued to catch ordinary grouper.
He himself had 29.5 jin, Tong Yuanhang had 7.8 jin, and the other two brothers of the Tong family had 13.6 jin combined, a total of 50.9 jin, worth 76.35 yuan.
Zhang Ze took out a little more than thirty-three pounds of green lobster, totaling sixty-six pounds.
Hualong took five that weighed five or six kilograms. After weighing them, he unexpectedly weighed thirty-three kilograms, a total of ninety-nine.
Add the fifty-two dollars and sixty-five cents from the grease stains, and the total is exactly two hundred and ninety-four yuan.
Ou Shuxiang got a 10-cent kickback, which adds up to 12.86 yuan.
"Your sale of fish this time was a little unexpected to me, so I didn't prepare any tickets. How about I pay you in cash first, and then I'll give you some tickets when we trade again on Sunday?"
As Ou Shuxiang spoke, he took out a handful of money, some in small change and some in whole bills.
Zhang Ze naturally had no objection, he was not in a hurry for the cloth coupons.
Seeing that he agreed, Ou Shuxiang pointed out two hundred and eighty-one dollars and fourteen cents, which was just right, not a cent more or less.
"You don't want to click?"
"No need, I've watched you order it once."
Zhang Ze collected the money, said goodbye to Ou Shuxiang, and rode away on his bicycle.
Today's transaction has made them trust each other a little more. If nothing unexpected happens, they will continue to cooperate until next year.
Zhang Ze left the abandoned house and went straight back to the dock without wandering around the county.
It was still early today, and since it was rare for him to go out boating alone, he wanted to wander around the sea.
After moving the bicycle onto the boat, he first went to collect the fish nets in the puddle, and then collected the lobsters as well.
As the weather turned colder, the harvest of lobsters in the puddle became less and less. Zhang Ze felt that he really needed to move to another Feng Shui location.
As a result, the experience of frequent sea fishing in later generations came in handy immediately.
In his previous life, Zhang Ze often went fishing at an uninhabited island reef on the southeast side of Lumen Island. If he rowed there from Lumen Island as slowly as Tong Yuanhang usually did, Zhang Ze estimated that it would take at least an hour and a half.
Because it was too far away, he never thought of going there to fish.
Without a thruster, it would take several hours just to go back and forth. How can you fish?
However, this uninhabited island reef is closer to Wenshui City. It is estimated that it will take about an hour and a half to get there, just like going to Lumen Island.
In the days of manual rowing, it was inconvenient to go anywhere.
Zhang Ze is going there now because he has time today, and he is also curious about the ecology around the uninhabited islands and reefs in this era.
In the future, the fish resources around are still pretty good, which will definitely make anglers ecstatic.
Zhang Ze twisted his waist slightly and felt that the symptoms in his waist had improved a lot. He began to exert force with both hands and rowed quickly towards the uninhabited island reef along the direction of the waves.
The distance from Yuewan County to the uninhabited islands and reefs in a straight line is not as far as the distance from the county to Lumen Island and then from Lumen Island to the uninhabited islands and reefs combined.

Moreover, Zhang Ze rowed with all his strength, and his speed was much faster than Tong Yuanhang's usual speed, so it only took him nearly two hours to arrive.
This is a reef island about the size of two football fields. During high tide on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, most of the reefs will be submerged by the sea water, and only a small area in the center will stubbornly emerge.
Zhang Ze used to climb up these reefs to fish with a few fishing friends. They always had a good harvest, including a lot of sea bream and the like. Sometimes, if Shi Jiugong was lucky, he could catch a large plate.
It was a pity that the resources in later generations were much worse than they are now. He often came here to fish, but he seldom caught wild grouper, and there were not even many lobsters.
Today is December 3rd, the 14th day of the 10th lunar month, and it happens to be a high tide.
However, this is the calm period after the tide receded, and many reefs are exposed.
Zhang Ze walked around the periphery and found a good spot. He rowed closer, tied the rope to a reef, and then climbed onto a reef that was exposed above the water.
"There are so many, really too many!" Zhang Ze couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the densely packed oysters, volcanic barnacles, mussels, etc. on the surrounding reefs.
When he came here later, there was nothing but a small piece of spicy snail.
Zhang Ze felt a little regretful that he didn't bring any tools, otherwise he would have been able to pry something out of the way and put it into the space.
Now the space of ten cubic meters is 2.14 meters in length, width and height. If you say it is big, but if you put a box of this size in front of you, you certainly won’t feel how big it is, but it can indeed hold a lot of things.
Since there was no way to pry it open, Zhang Ze continued to wander around the reef island to see if he could find anything good.
After walking more than ten meters inside, some abalone attached to the reefs were clearly visible under the clear sea water.
Zhang Ze was surprised. He didn't expect there were so many abalone here.
These abalones are all in waters half a meter to more than one meter deep. It is really not easy for him to go down and catch them, mainly because the weather is turning cooler now, and it will be very cold when he comes out of the water.
Zhang Ze hesitated for a moment, but finally decided not to take off his clothes and go into the water to touch the abalone.
He continued to search nearby and found some abalone in shallow water, which he then collected into the space.
After being busy for a while and catching more than five kilograms of abalone, Zhang Ze looked in the direction of the sun and knew it was almost time to go back.
He didn't linger and walked back directly.
Although this island reef is not big, it is full of treasures for Zhang Ze, and he needs to explore it slowly.
Even if he came here in the morning, it would be unrealistic for him to explore all the reef islands. He could leave it for later!
