I really just want to make money

Chapter 128 Fishing
After playing for more than an hour, Zhang Hua made a pair of miscellaneous pairs, a pair of all-color pairs, a pair of pairs, and a big pair of pairs. In the end, he even became the Eighteen Arhats. , received a few leveraged money, so there is no use losing.

After five o'clock, it was time to call for dinner. The three people who played cards with Zhang Hua breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The girl from the next house wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed: "I will never play cards with you again. Losing a little money is still a trivial matter." , I was scared to death by you."

The young people watching the game all said that Zhang Hua was too greedy, and he was always trying to make big names, which would make it easy to lose money. The older people exchanged glances, smiled and nodded slightly.

Zhang Hua wanted to help serve the dishes, but was called by Chen's father to sit down beside him and drink.

Father Chen frowned and said, "Washing and cooking are women's business, why are you joining in the fun!"

An old man next to him smiled and said, "Haha, Sichuan people are not like this. Both men and women have to do housework. I used to have a comrade-in-arms who said that if you go to your husband's house, you have to do a lot of things. Not only do housework, Planting seedlings, threshing rice, picking manure, etc. have to be done, and we have to rush to do it!"

"Haha!" Everyone at the table laughed, and someone even asked Zhang Hua, "Is it like this!"

Zhang Hua nodded with a smile and said, "Life is not easy. You have to let people see that you are hardworking and energetic, so they are willing to give you their daughter. People who are too lazy will not be able to marry a wife."

Father Chen, who has been stern since meeting Zhang Hua, couldn't help but smile at this time, and said cheerfully, "This custom is very good!"

The people at the table suddenly burst into laughter, and someone said: "If you really want to feel good, then you can put away the dishes and wash them later!"

"I'm not from their side!" Father Chen quickly shook his head.

Zhang Hua made a round of toasts next to each other, and then pretended to be drunk and lay down on the table. Everyone who asked questions said, "Well, ah, eh, I can handle it." After a while, Father Chen asked Chen Jun and Chen Tao to take Zhang Hua away. up.

Someone at the table said to Father Chen: "Your son-in-law is not bad, but his drinking capacity is a bit weak."

"Hmph, we have to talk about whether it's okay or not. That kid is very cunning, and he can drink a lot!" The old man who was talking about the customs of Zhang Hua's hometown just now said with a sneer.

"You said he was pretending to be drunk?" someone asked.

The old man nodded, and said with a smile: "It's quite a fake. If Ah Jun hadn't pinched him just now, I would almost have been tricked by him."

"Hey, it's not a big deal, it's better if you know about alcohol!" someone said.

Someone echoed: "That's true. Ah Jun will be 23 after the Chinese New Year. It's rare to find someone she likes. This kid is also in good condition in all aspects. There is nothing to be picky about. Besides, the two of them are happy, this is the best." .”

Father Chen nodded and sighed, and said, "Girls shouldn't read so many books. They're in their 20s as soon as they graduate from college. That's not good!"

Someone at the table agreed, and someone smiled disapprovingly.

After Zhang Hua was carried into the room, he stood up by himself, stretched his back and said to Chen Jun: "I'm still hungry, bring me a bowl of rice later!"

"Then you have to wait at least an hour!" Chen Jun said with a smile.

Chen Tao looked at Zhang Hua dumbfounded, and asked, "Brother Hua Zi, are you not drunk?"

Zhang Hua patted Chen Tao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You should drink less wine, keep it away when you are happy, and don't even drink it when you are unhappy. It is easy to lose your morals after drinking!"

After Zhang Hua finished speaking, he sighed all over his face. When people are drunk, they will feel that they are awesome. After doing something, they often have no face to see others when they are sober.

Half an hour later, Chen Jun came in with a bowl of rice for Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua ate, and Chen Jun turned on the TV to accompany him. When he saw the weather forecast on the TV saying that there would be a strong wind of level [-] at night, Chen Jun became happy.

Zhang Hua swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "What's so happy about Dafeng?"

"When there is a strong wind, there will be big waves. The fish and shrimp will be brought to the beach by the wind and waves. Tomorrow, the harvest will be more. However, the seventh-level wind is still a little bit weaker, and there is no heavy rain. If it is a hot day, the wind and rain come together. Then the harvest will be even more!" Chen Jun explained.

Zhang Hua was stunned for a moment, and said, "It will be Chinese New Year in two days, do you still have to go fishing at this time?"

"Fishing doesn't matter when, so if you have an opportunity, you must seize it!" Chen Jun thought for a while and asked, "Are you seasick?"

"I grew up by the Yangtze River. Of course, if the wind and waves are too big, I may not be able to bear it!" Zhang Hua didn't finish his sentence.

The next morning, there was not much wind, so the family got up early. When Zhang Hua got up, he saw Chen Tao and Chen Wei excitedly moving their things. motorcycle.

After breakfast, before dawn, Dad Chen led the way in a tricycle dragging things, while Zhang Hua and Chen Tao followed on motorcycles with Chen Jun and Chen Wei respectively.

The Chen family's fishing boat is about ten meters long and three meters wide, which is enough for an offshore fishing boat.

The fishing method is also relatively primitive, with rope hooks and small trawl nets. Chen Tao explained: "It is best to get the rope hooks at night and take them in the morning, but because of the Chinese New Year, these things have already been put away.

Today is a rare opportunity, and there should be gains during the day. "

Chen Wei pointed to the beach in front of him and said with a smile: "This area of ​​more than 100 acres is contracted by our family, most of which are raised oysters, and some shrimps and crabs are also raised.

Now we actually seldom fish. We just collect the hooks every day. The main reason is that we can’t catch much, and sometimes we don’t even have enough money. Today, there are opportunities to make money. "

After the opening, the population along the coast has increased dramatically, and the demand for seafood has also increased. After a period of destructive fishing, although everyone has made some money, the resources have also decreased a lot.

Most of the traditional fishermen like Chen's father also switched careers and started farming.

As for those who did not make money, they had to be forced to change their careers. After all, relying on water and water is not enough to feed so many people.

After boarding the boat, hang the bait and put it on the rope hook. It took more than an hour to start fishing with the net. Dad Chen used a very dense fine net. The net scraped the ground and dragged it, not to mention the fish, which were as big as chopsticks. Don't even think about running away with shrimps, the most harvested ones are also white shrimps.

One net weighs about forty to fifty catties, and there are some miscellaneous fish, shrimp and crabs. Chen Wei, Zhang Hua, and Chen Jun are responsible for sorting the fish, and Chen Dad and Chen Tao get into the net.

After downloading the net three times in total, Dad Chen didn't plan to log off again. He looked at the harvest and said with a smile, "It's not bad, it's worth more than 2000 yuan."

Then they started to collect the rope hooks again, and the tilapia that caught the most was actually tilapia, and the taste of saltwater tilapia was even better, but it was still not worth the price. Chen Tao and his brothers would be happy to pull an eel once in a while.
