Today's beachcombing haul was pretty good; she almost couldn't carry it all the way back.
Instead of going to her second uncle's purchasing station, Chen Zhiyao planned to send the seafood to the Yang family's purchasing station in town.
Before going to town, she made a point of sending Ah Huang and Xue Tuan back home.
Chen Zhiyao squatted at the door and patted the two dogs' big heads one by one:
"Stay home obediently, and I'll cook you something delicious when you come back."
Everything was fine until the door was closed, at which point the two little ones became unhappy and let out two pig-like screams.
"Shut up, don't shout anymore."
Fortunately, the houses in the village are quite far apart, so there's no fear of disturbing others.
Ignoring the pitiful looks in the eyes of the two little ones, Chen Zhiyao quickly got on the tricycle and drove off with half a load of seafood.
Today is high tide, and there are a lot of people going to the beach. Compared with the past few days, Yangjia Buying Shop is much busier today.
The shop was packed with fishermen, and almost everyone's face was beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
There were too many people, and Chen Zhiyao waited for quite a while before Yang Jiajun finally had time to come and settle the bill for her.
"Tangtang, you're here! The seafood prices are pretty good today; they've gone up quite a bit compared to the past few days."
Chen Zhiyao's face immediately lit up with an excited smile, "Really? There are a lot of good stuff like baby lobsters, abalone, and conch today!"
Hearing her say that, Yang Jiajun's already pleasant mood instantly became even more excited, and he quickened his pace.
Small lobster, 1.7 jin, 235 yuan per jin, total 400 yuan. Large abalone, 3 liang, 4 jin, 220 yuan per jin, total 880 yuan.
Coconut snails weigh 2.3 jin (1.15 kg), priced at 128 yuan per jin, totaling 295 yuan. Conch shells weigh 3.2 jin (1.15 kg), priced at 135 yuan per jin, totaling 432 yuan.
4.6 jin of whelks, 48 yuan per jin, totaling 221 yuan. 13 jin of various shellfish, 12 yuan per jin, totaling 156 yuan...
After a series of "reset to zero", the fish caught from the beach that morning were finally accounted for.
Chen Zhiyao earned a total of 3280 yuan today.
Looking at the payment information on her phone, she felt that marine resources had clearly decreased, and it seemed that she should release more fish fry into the sea.
After receiving the money, Chen Zhiyao was about to leave when Yang Jiajun suddenly called her back.
"Tangtang, I have a friend who owns a yacht and is planning to go fishing in the open sea in a couple of days. There are still seats available on the boat. Do you and your dad want to come along? There's no boat fare."
Since her trip to Guilin, Chen Zhiyao hasn't touched a fishing rod for 10 days.
As a seasoned angler, I really can't stand not going fishing for 10 days.
Hearing Yang Jiajun say he was going fishing in the open sea, she was itching to go and grab her fishing rod and head out fishing right away.
However, she didn't agree immediately, but instead asked:
"Brother Yang, how many seats are left on your friend's boat?"
"There are only 2 spots left. We're leaving tomorrow night for a four-day trip. Why don't you invite your dad to come along?"
She went fishing at sea with her grandfather and father before, and her mother was very envious.
Moreover, after these few days, my grandmother has also become completely hooked and has become a fishing enthusiast.
With a lucky fishing rod and bait companion in hand, there's no need to worry about not catching fish.
Chen Zhiyao plans to bring her mother and grandmother along this time, so the whole family can go fishing in the open sea together.
There were only two seats on the yacht, which wasn't enough, so after thinking about it, she declined.
After leaving Yang's purchasing station, Chen Zhiyao immediately called her father.
"Dad, can you book five seats on the fishing boat near the Yan family's place? In a few days, our whole family will go fishing in the open sea. I'll pay for the boat tickets."
She spoke with great bravado, but Chen Weiqiang on the other side disagreed.
"Tangtang, it's the fishing ban period now, and there are many more people going out to fish than before. Yan Rui's fishing boat has also raised its price. A ticket costs 9,980 yuan. It's not worth going now."
A single boat ticket costs nearly 10,000 yuan, and if the whole family goes together, it will cost 50,000 yuan. Chen Weiqiang really couldn't bear to spend that money.
If my daughter gives me money, I'll be even more reluctant to part with it. It's 50,000 yuan! Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
Seeing that her father was reluctant to spend the money, Chen Zhiyao started to make empty promises to him.
"Dad, you need to have confidence in yourself. Didn't you make over 6,000 yuan fishing yesterday?"
"With the fishing skills of our family's fishing masters, we'll probably earn back the cost of the boat tickets in less than two days."
"But……"
Chen Weiqiang had barely opened his mouth when his daughter interrupted him again.
"Think about it, it's the fishing ban period now, seafood in the market is so expensive, and there are lots of big fish in the open sea, you might be able to make 20,000 yuan a day."
Immediately afterwards, Yan Shuting's loud voice came through the phone:
"You've got quite the nerve, aren't you? Earning 20,000 yuan a day? What kind of daydream are you having?"
"Why not? I earned 20,000 yuan a month when I went to Wanyu Island. You have to have dreams. What if you succeed?"
Chen Zhiyao tried her best to persuade her family, making all sorts of promises, and finally convinced them to go fishing in the open sea together.
As for the boat ticket, the elders in her family refused to accept her money, so in the end, they each paid for it themselves.
Despite the price of boat tickets rising to nearly 10,000 yuan, the number of people going fishing in the open sea has only increased.
Chen Weiqiang managed to buy a ferry ticket for next week through connections.
This time we had plenty of time to go out to sea, so my family prepared over 100 kilograms of fish in advance to use as bait.
Most of the fish were fish that Chen Zhiyao picked up while beachcombing, as well as small miscellaneous fish that Chen Weiqiang and the others caught.
Freeze them in advance and bring them directly to the boat to use as frozen bait.
Chen Weiqiang and his grandfather had already prepared all the fishing lines, hooks, and bait needed for fishing.
Chen Zhiyao even secretly replaced Grandma Chen's first-class lucky fishing rod with an enhanced version of the lucky fishing rod.
Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting were very excited as it was their first time taking a fishing boat to fish in the open sea.
I started packing in the morning, and they urged me to go there early in the afternoon.
Chen Zhiyao thought they had arrived early enough, but when they boarded the boat, she found that there were already several fishing friends there.
These anglers, holding fishing rods, were carefully checking their condition and sitting together, quietly exchanging their fishing experiences and insights.
These people were all in high spirits and full of enthusiasm, looking forward to their fishing trip.
Practice makes perfect, and Chen Zhiyao quickly led her mother and grandmother to their room.
She had already learned from the young lady who was showing her the way that there were a total of 4 people in the room she was staying in.
Besides the three members of their family, there was also a young girl.
Pushing open the door, Chen Zhiyao saw a dashing and sophisticated young woman packing her things.
