Chapter 92 I am not confident in your self-control
18 experience points, then if you use the exclusive bait to fish, the experience points will be lost! Now it needs to be upgraded, it seems that the exclusive bait will not be available for the time being.
But if you catch it with ordinary bait, it's very profitable, one fish can be exchanged for eighteen portions of ordinary bait.
Zhang Ze put the ordinary bait on again and continued fishing.
This time, a fish was caught almost as soon as the bait was put in the water. It was a big one and took some time to hook it. It was a dark red red friend fish. It was much bigger than the red snapper just now, weighing 11 kilograms. The experience value was +6.
Next, Zhang Ze entered the linkage mode, and soon all ten baits were used up, much faster than the speed at which he used up ten grouper baits.
The fish caught were of various kinds, with black porgy being the most numerous. The only grouper was the red grouper caught at the beginning. Zhang Ze suspected that it would be difficult to catch grouper here before the bait on the hook was eaten up.
His guess was not wrong. Zhang Qinghe, who was fishing on the same boat, had already caught five fish. He successfully experienced the joy of being a fisherman and had a smile on his face all the time, but none of his fish were groupers.
The three brothers of the Tong family who were fishing in the east were also affected to a certain extent. They did catch a grouper, but among the three of them who caught more than 20 fish, there was only one grouper.
The probability was lower than usual, which made them wonder if there were few groupers at the fishing spot they chose.
But in terms of resources, they can indeed feel that there are many fish here, and basically there will be bites as soon as the bait is thrown down.
Fortunately, after an hour and a half, they were almost back to normal.
Because Zhang Ze had already collected all the hooks, twenty-five hooks, and caught a total of nineteen groupers, including five sea red groupers. The smallest weighed two kilograms, and the largest weighed five kilograms.
There were six hooks left, four of which were unhooked, and two of them were used to catch the stupid red fish, but it was still a good day for Zhang Ze.
Zhang Qinghe was helping out on the side. Seeing so many groupers coming up, he was very jealous and asked, "Aze, how much are these fish for?"
"The prices are all over the aquatic station. Ordinary grouper is 65 cents, and this kind of sea red grouper is very expensive, selling for 4.2 yuan."
When Zhang Qinghe heard the price of four dollars and twenty cents, his eyes widened and he took a breath.
"This fish is more expensive than pork, and it's so much more expensive?"
"You think the delicacies from the mountains and the sea are a joke?" Zhang Ze said with a smile, "Pork is something we farmers can't afford. When have you ever seen rich people not being able to afford it?"
"Perhaps you may not be able to imagine that they are tired of all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and these fish are just an ordinary dish on their wine table."
Zhang Qinghe was shocked after hearing this. Having always lived in the village, he didn't realize how big the world was.
But after coming to Wenshui City, he found himself accepting new things every moment.
After being stunned for a moment, he came to his senses and suddenly remembered what Zhang Ze had said to him before.
I already knew the price at the fishery station, so I was curious about what price he would give me.
Zhang Qinghe didn't think too much about it. He asked directly out of curiosity: "Aze, you said before that you wanted to buy it from me, so what price will you give me?"
"I currently only accept grouper and lobster, not other fish, so you can only sell other fish to the aquatic station, but you never know if they will accept them in the future."
"Because I have my own channel to sell grouper, the price is slightly higher than that at the aquatic station. I sell regular grouper for 80 cents per pound, tiger grouper for 1.3 yuan, oily grouper for 3 yuan, and sea red grouper for 5 yuan."
The price Zhang Ze offered to Zhang Qinghe was naturally a little lower, mainly because he was currently fishing on his own boat and was not his employee, so of course he had to calculate the boat rental fee.
The price given to Tong Yuanhang and his friends was a bit higher, mainly because they were his brother-in-law. Also, the boat was used in the first place because of their face.
The price of ordinary grouper is 15 cents higher than that at the aquatic station. It’s because he himself is not so keen on being a seafood dealer, and also because Zhang Qinghe is his friend.
"Aze, you're giving me such a high price!"
Zhang Qinghe opened his mouth slightly. He didn't expect that the price Zhang Ze gave him would be so much higher than that offered by the aquatic station. Fifty cents is not a small amount of money.
Ten kilograms only cost one dollar and fifty cents more, which can buy more than one kilogram of pork.
But when he thought about how he had been fishing for most of the day without catching a single grouper, his face fell again.
Zhang Ze had been observing Zhang Qinghe's reaction. Seeing that he was simply surprised by the price and had no extra thoughts or dissatisfaction, he felt quite satisfied.
If you ask him the price he sells to others, or are dissatisfied with the price he gives, then you have no place as a friend.
A greedy person is inevitably selfish and may even sell out his friends for profit. Such a person is obviously not worth making friends with.
These groupers were all caught in shallow waters, with the deepest estimated to be only about 40 meters. Therefore, there is no need to deflate them specifically and they can all be put into the live water tank.
It was impossible for him to put it into the space in front of Zhang Qinghe, so he could only talk about it after he returned in the afternoon. It was only a few hours, so considering the vitality of the grouper, it would not be too late.
Then he asked Zhang Qinghe to drive the boat while he continued to set out the hooks. The remaining grouper bait from the morning had already been used for fishing.
This time he did not use grouper bait, but replaced it with ordinary bait in the space.
Grouper bait can attract a group of groupers to gather in the water area where the fishing hooks are placed. The second time when I changed to ordinary bait, the harvest was not bad.
This was also the experience he gained from fishing with hooks in the past few months. The main reason was that he had been using grouper bait, which caused the experience value to increase very slowly. So he changed the method, and unexpectedly the effect was very good.
After switching to ordinary bait, the types of fish attracted nearby became more diverse, and the proportion of grouper attracted was greatly reduced, making the impact on fishing nearby much less than before.
After the hooks were collected, some groupers scattered and looked for new hiding places. Therefore, when they returned to the original fishing spot to continue fishing, the proportion of groupers caught was much higher.
Especially Zhang Qinghe, after knowing the price of grouper, when he caught a dense spotted grouper, he happily ran to him with the fish in his hand to show off.
Zhang Ze was very pleased to see that a newcomer had joined the fishing world.
The morning passed quickly, and after I reeled in the hooks for the second time and caught thirteen groupers and various other fish, it was already noon.
Tong Yuanhang was very punctual. He drove the boat over immediately at twelve o'clock.
Stop beside him, drop the anchor, and then turn off the engine.
After his boat was parked and the three of them came onto the deck, Zhang Ze drove the boat slowly approaching from behind at an extremely slow speed until they were almost side by side.
The two ships were very close, only half a meter apart.
Zhang Qinghe threw the rope over, Tong Yuanhang caught it, and then used force to pull the boat closer.
Wait until the boats are almost touching each other before tying the cable to your own boat.
The waves shook slightly, and the two ships touched each other lightly with a bang.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, there are several tire-like foams hanging on both sides of the boat, which can act as a buffer.
The three brothers of the Tong family nimbly climbed over the side of the boat and jumped over.
"Don't you think it's too much trouble for a lunch?" Zhang Ze turned off the engine and walked out of the cab, looking at his brothers-in-law and sighed helplessly.
"Hehe, here's some good stuff!" Tong Yuanhang said as he took out a bottle of Moutai.
Zhang Ze was shocked: "Where did you get your Moutai?"
He was surprised not because Moutai was expensive and they were willing to buy it, but because Moutai tickets were difficult to get.
"When we went to buy bicycle tickets, we were asked if we wanted other tickets. I saw the Moutai tickets and bought two because I had never drunk Moutai before."
There is a town in Wenshui City that specializes in producing Moutai. It was established in 1956 and is one of the earliest liquor companies in Wenshui City, so Moutai is sold here.
Zhang Ze didn't know much about liquor, because a fisherman would like to be sober all the time while fishing.
Looking at the liquor in Tong Yuanhang's hand, he said with a sullen face, "From now on, when you go fishing, boating, or riding a bicycle, you can't drink. If you want to drink, go home and drink at night. If you get drunk, you can go straight to sleep."
Tong Yuanhang thought that his brother-in-law would be very surprised after seeing Moutai, and he even wanted to brag in front of him. However, his reaction was completely beyond his expectations, and he seemed a little angry.
"It shouldn't be a problem to drink a little wine, right?"
"Why is it okay?" Zhang Ze warned the people in front of him seriously, "Even if you don't drink much, alcohol has an aftereffect. It will slow down your reaction. If you encounter a big fish later, you will either fail to react in time and the fishing line in your hand will be pulled away, which is still good. In serious cases, you will feel dizzy and lose strength in your hands, and the fish will directly pull you into the water."
"It's not that serious, right?" Tong Yuanhang's voice gradually became lower, as if he was a little lacking in confidence.
"How can it not be serious? Once you are dragged into the water by a fish, the fish will continue to carry you to deeper waters. Can you guarantee that you can swim to the surface while being drunk? By then, it will be difficult for the people on the boat to save you."
"The result is that your relatives will be sad, and your wife will either remain a widow or remarry. If you remain a widow, your children will be fatherless and bullied every day. If you remarry, your children will have a stepfather and be beaten every day, and your wife will also be beaten by others."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who said them all blushed and felt angry. When they thought about their wives being beaten after they died and their children being beaten, they were so angry that they were about to explode.
Tong Yuanhang looked at the Moutai in his hand and was about to smash it.
Zhang Ze was quick-witted and snatched the Moutai away, saving it from disaster.
"What are you doing? What does this have to do with Moutai? I don't allow you to drink at work, but I don't forbid you to drink at home."
"." Tong Yuanhang and the others looked embarrassed after they came back to their senses. It was mainly because what Zhang Ze described was too weird and they unconsciously brought it into their minds.
Seeing that they had listened, Zhang Ze continued to remind them: "Not only is fishing dangerous when you are drunk, it is also easy to fall into a ditch when riding a bicycle. If no one finds you in winter, you will be frozen to death. The same is true for driving a boat. You may hit a reef and the boat will be destroyed and everyone will die. So you can only drink when you are resting. Do you know?"
There was no concept of drunk driving at that time. For everyone's sake, he still warned everyone and said the consequences were very serious, but these consequences were indeed possible.
Tong Yuanhang and others nodded in unison, indicating that they would only drink at home in the future.
Zhang Ze nodded in satisfaction and walked into the cabin kitchen with Maotai.
Tong Yuanhang followed behind him and saw him put the Maotai into the cabinet, hesitating to speak After a relatively hearty lunch, the three brothers of the Tong family took a rest and prepared to go back to fishing.
Before leaving, Tong Yuanhang seemed to remember something, turned around and asked, "Aze, can you return the wine to me?"
"Leave it to me first. I'm worried about your self-control and you might drink it secretly later. I'll give it back to you when I go back in the afternoon." Zhang Ze waved his hand, then put his arm around his shoulders and led him out of the cabin.
"You make it sound so serious. I won't drink this afternoon." Tong Yuanhang muttered, but he followed his force and walked out. He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't think too much about it.
After sending a few people back to their own boat, Zhang Ze reeled in the cable, went to the cab, started the fishing boat, raised the anchor and returned to the fishing spot.
