Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

"A Ping, how's your catch? Oh, you got more than two tons of seafood, that's not bad.

Hey, our net is almost empty-handed, at most we only caught 20- kilograms of seafood, but there was a -kilogram large yellow croaker…"

"How many pounds?" Listening to the scream in the receiver, the old cat laughed, obviously very satisfied with the other party's reaction.

After chatting for a while, Lao Mao finally ended the call with satisfaction.

After leaving the wheelhouse, I found Zhao Qin, who was standing in a daze at the bow. "Aqin, if you can't keep it alive, you can keep it until the end of December after a strong cold."

Zhao Qin understood what he meant, and it was the same idea as his own. This fish must go to the capital.

"Well, let's hand it over to Brother Dong when we get back. He has better solutions than us."

"How much do you think it will sell for?"

"If it's auctioned in Beijing, I estimate it will be over 100,000."

The old cat hummed lightly, and it was obvious that he had expected as much.

This big yellow croaker is bound to become a topic of conversation for all the boatmen to show off. As for the situation of a single fish, Zhao Qin naturally would not issue a gag order, which was completely unnecessary.

"Brother Mao, we should rest for two days after returning."

"Just take a day off and restock some fuel and water."

Zhao Qin shook his head. "There's no need to rush. Just two days is fine. Today is November 11th. We can get home tomorrow and go out to sea on the 25th."

The old cat thought of another thing and said with a smile, "Ah He should have become a father by now."

Zhao Qin also had a smile on his face, "I didn't expect this kid to be faster than me."

The two laughed.

In the evening, another net was pulled up. This time it was much more normal, with more than two tons of hairtail. The two boats together caught more than 3 kilograms of small-eye hairtail in this trip alone.

After finishing this round of fishing, I discussed with the Diligent Ship and decided not to catch any more fish this time. We will rush home at full speed.

Zhao Qin began to count the fish catch and report to Chen Dong.

It was already past seven in the morning of the next day when the two boats returned to the town dock. Chen Dong and his helpers were already waiting.

Zhao Qin jumped off the boat and came closer. The first thing Chen Dong asked was about the big yellow croaker, "Is it really more than 20 kilograms?"

"There should be some, and they're still alive, kept in the cabin."

"It's no use keeping it alive. It has high water quality requirements and is hard to keep alive away from the sea. Let's freeze it to preserve it."

"It's up to you." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Dayu coming over.

"How is the quality of the hairtail? If it's good, I'll keep 10,000 kilograms."

"Is it too much?"

"The last batch of frozen fish sold very well. I estimate that it can be consumed in two weeks."

Since Tianqin was under Dayu's charge, the other party's decision must have been discussed with Chen's father, so Zhao Qin stopped talking.

"By the way, there are quite a few herrings this time. You can keep some to dry in the sun. Also, there are silver pomfret. This fish is expensive. Would you like to keep some?"

Dayu was a little unsure, so he simply called Chen's father and asked him to come over.

Chen Dong looked depressed. "The demand for good products is huge here. I have already contacted the seller of the big white pomfret."

"Tianqin, you also have shares." Zhao Qin said with a smile.

After a while, not only Chen's father came, but Zhao Anguo also came along.

After some negotiation, Tianqin would keep some of the goods, sell some of them to the farm as feed, and the rest would be sold by Chen Dong.

This made him mutter in frustration again, "How come I have become a leftover picker?"

"Brother Dong, have you arranged for the lionfish?"

"The quantity is too large. We have contacted two companies. Normally, this fish is rarely served on the table and is usually used as an ornamental fish. But this time there are a lot of them. They must be circulated. Don't worry, the price will not be low."

Lao Mao and Zhuzi directed everyone to unload the goods. Their own boatmen were responsible for escorting the truck. A small amount of goods needed to be sorted, which also had to be done by their own boatmen.

Zhao Qin is now completely lazy. Apart from settling accounts with Chen Dong, he is unwilling to take care of other matters, let alone unloading the goods.

Following Chen Dong back, he pointed at the person next to him, "Hey."

Zhao Qin looked in the direction he pointed, and the person over there happened to be looking over there as well. You can't hide the look in someone's eyes when he wants to kill them, and the other person didn't intend to hide it either.

That guy was Boss Gu, the owner of the ship that had run aground before. A quick glance revealed that his face was covered in bruises.

"what happened?"

"This guy tells everyone he meets that you didn't help him, saying that he saw his boat had a lot of gains, but he just watched his boat sink."

Zhao Qin smiled and thought that as long as he had a clear conscience, it would be too cheap to argue with such a person.

But thinking of the wound on that guy's face, "Brother Dong, you're not going to ask someone to beat him up, are you?"

"I don't have the time to spare. If you want to blame someone, it's his own fault. He has a narrow mind and is planning to find someone to beat you up.

As luck would have it, he found Da Gou and his men, and when they told him they were going to deal with you, Da Gou didn't hesitate to have them catch him and beat him up first."

Zhao Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head. This guy is so pitiful.

"He hasn't dared to tell anyone yet. After all, he was the one who wanted to hire someone to beat someone up first. If he dared to call the police, he would probably suffer the consequences in the end, so he has to suffer in silence."

Zhao Qin smiled, after all, it was the result of his evil intentions.

When the two arrived at the purchasing station, there were already several buyers waiting there, including the familiar Lao Jin.

"Aqin, do you really need to go out to sea with such a big boss?"

"Boss Jin, you are such a big boss but you still come to collect the goods in person every time."

"I say there's no need to flatter each other. Just sit down and have some tea." Chen Dong's words made everyone at the scene laugh.

There was indeed a lot of cargo this time, but fortunately there were many people, nearly 20 of their own boatmen, plus Chen Dong found 35 helpers. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon before they finally handled all the cargo.

The boatmen returned home one after another with their share of the seafood.

Zhao Qin stayed to settle the bill with Chen Dong. Before the bill came out, Zhao Anguo came over again.

"Dad, didn't you go to the village today?"

"I was in the village this morning and came back in the afternoon. I want to tell you that Ah He has a son. He was born yesterday afternoon."

Zhao Qin was overjoyed, "This is great news. I'll go back, take a shower, and go to the hospital for a checkup."

"There is one more thing. Peng Laoliu's father passed away."

The smile on Zhao Qin's face suddenly stopped. He had heard that the old man had cancer a long time ago, but he had not paid much attention to his condition afterwards. He did not expect that he would still pass away.

He sighed, there is nothing that can be done about birth, aging, sickness and death. "Respect the dead first and celebrate the living later. Then I'd better go to the Peng family first. Is the funeral held at Laoji's house?"

"I'll go to Lao Si's house to buy some paper money for you." Zhao Anguo heard that he was going there soon, so he left after saying that.

After a while, he and Chen Dong figured out the accounts. The total cost of the two ships was 502 million, which was much more than expected. After deducting Chen Dong's commission and various expenses for this trip,

On average, one ship earns about 230 million, which is pretty good.

Just as he finished signing, Zhao Anguo walked in again with a stack of silver notes in his hand.

"Dad, are there any taboos?" Zhao Qin still didn't know much about such local customs.

"He's over 80, it's considered a happy funeral, there's nothing to be particular about, just kowtow."
