Just as he was about to speak, Feng Jiafa said, "You guys are lucky. Recently, someone has been buying otters at high prices. If it were before, I could only offer 3.5 yuan at most."
"They're probably offering such a high price for the otter's fur and liver, right?"
"It seems not. It's said that it's for research on otter breeding, which requires live, adult animals."
Feng Jiafa explained, "However, this is none of our business; we only care about selling."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye understood that there was no room for negotiation.
He nodded: "Alright, Uncle Fa, it'll be five yuan a pound, as you said. Weigh it."
Seeing that they agreed, Feng Jiafa said no more and quickly weighed the otter.
The eight otters together weigh a total of 156 jin (78 catties).
At a price of five yuan per kilogram, the total price is 780 yuan.
In terms of a single variety, this is the biggest gain today.
Feng Ye and A-Can were both very satisfied with this number.
In this way, in addition to the dried toadfish, today's harvest exceeded 2,000 yuan, reaching 2,259 yuan.
"I brought a thousand dollars with me, so I'll pay for the otter."
As Feng Jiafa spoke, he took out a wad of cash from his pocket, some in small change and some in large bills.
He counted the bills, handed Feng Ye seven 100-yuan bills, and then counted out one 50-yuan bill and three 10-yuan bills to make up the difference.
Feng Ye took the money, counted it, and after confirming that it was correct, carefully put the money away.
"Uncle Fa, we'll head back now and come back tomorrow to collect the rest of the money."
Pushing the cart full of empty baskets back to the boat, he put the baskets back on the boat, and then unloaded the toadfish he had left on the boat and put them on the cart.
Just as Feng Ye was about to push the cart, he saw Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing climb back onto the boat and couldn't help but wonder, "Dad, Uncle Ling, the fish have already been unloaded, why are you still coming back onto the boat?"
"I'll take the fishing nets to Aunt Lanhua for washing and drying."
Feng Jiaqing waved his hand, "You guys go back and eat quickly, you've had a long day and must be hungry."
"Uh, okay."
Feng Ye was really tired and hungry.
We do net trawling in the morning, and then we have a little time to rest in between.
In the afternoon, there was no time to rest while collecting the netting; I worked non-stop for three or four hours straight.
Moreover, I ate lunch quite early, and it was just rice noodles that weren't very filling, so it was already digested long ago.
