When they arrived at the town pier, Ah He took the initiative to get ashore first. He wanted to ride the tricycle over first.

"Ahe, bring two big buckets and the oxygen machine." Zhao Qin shouted at his back.

"Got it, brother."

Zhao Qin and his eldest brother first lifted the big manta ray out of the cabin and placed it on the dock, and then lifted the fish box down.

In fact, there are quite a lot of things, and there are a lot of petty thieves these days. They don’t dare to put buckets and baskets on the boat. If they do, they probably won’t be found the next day.

I used to hear that boat engines were stolen at night, but not in the past two years.

After the things were carried ashore, Ahe also came on a bicycle, "Brother, Sister Xue is in the store. She has already called Brother Dong to ask him to come back."

Zhao Qin hummed softly and he and his elder brother first took the buckets they brought and added seawater to the big bucket. Then they used the small bucket to carry the fish in the live cabin into the big bucket, so that the big bucket did not need to be lifted down when placed in the tricycle.

Lifting it back and forth, it was so heavy.

As always, he and Ahe rode away first, while the eldest brother stayed to clean up the ship.

When they arrived at the purchasing station, Chen Dong hadn't come back yet, so Chen Xue called Chen's father down.

"How was going out to sea today?" Father Chen knew from upstairs that it was Zhao Qin who was selling fish, so he asked as he went downstairs.

"Uncle Chen, it's not bad. It's a good luck to get the new boat."

Zhao Qin said with a smile without being modest, still holding the cup in his hand, the tea that Chen Xue had just made for him.

Father Chen saw the manta ray in the basket at first sight and was surprised: "How did you get such a big one? You can't get it by longline fishing."

"Uncle, we went out to sea today. First we encountered a dolphin swarm, and then for some reason we attracted a killer whale. The killer whale caught one dolphin, and the others ran away.

Then the killer whale followed our boat. When my brother saw it, he threw the remaining bait to the killer whale. This was a favor from the killer whale.

Uncle, that killer whale's tail is so powerful. This manta ray was swept into the sky by its tail. Fortunately, my brother and I dodge quickly, otherwise we would have been hit. "

Ah He had long been feeling uncomfortable and wanted to brag. In his opinion, a killer whale giving gifts to one of his own people was a rare spectacle, but in the end he was hit by it. Now when Father Chen asked him, how could he bear it? He stopped and told the story of what happened before.

Chen Xue and his daughter were also stunned when they heard this. This was the first time they heard about this.

"Such a big fish was given to you by a killer whale?" Chen Xue looked incredulous.

"Orca whales have a naughty character. When they encounter manta rays, turtles, etc., they will slap them up. It may be a coincidence that the ones they fanned just happened to land on our boat."

Zhao Qin was sure that Huzi sent them as a gift, but it was a bit bizarre to say that, so he told another possibility.

Father Chen nodded and said, "That's true, that guy is not only naughty but also smart."

Chen Xue sighed. She also wanted to go to sea to see killer whales, but even if her family had a boat, no one would allow her to go to sea with her.

After all, it is troublesome for women to go to sea, and the three urgent needs are not easy to solve. Unlike men, standing on the ship's rail is like fertilizing the sea.

Father Chen turned his attention to the two large buckets again. The bucket he was looking at happened to be the bucket containing red eels and miscellaneous fish. "Hey, there are quite a few red eels here."

"Uncle Chen, you have run boats before, have you seen bigger ones?"

"Well, we used to have abundant fishery resources. Your father never told you that we also encountered an oarfish. It was called a big oarfish. It took several people to lift it onto the boat. I thought I had found a treasure.

As a result, the locals refused to sell it, so everyone divided it and ate it. The taste was very bad, but it was not as good as the red eel. "

In Zhao Qin's memory, he rarely chatted with his father, so naturally he had never heard of these things.

After chatting for a while, Chen Dong's car stopped at the door. He was on his way to deliver something to someone. He saw the manta fish at the first sight and exclaimed. Ah He took the trouble to tell the origin of the fish, Chen Dong was also confused.

"You are so lucky that no one has even given you a gift from a killer whale." Chen Dong looked at Zhao Qin and said.

"Brother Dong, by chance, there are many kinds of fish. Shall we weigh them first?"

Chen Dong pushed the electronic scale over. The first thing he weighed was the manta ray. The total weight was 109 kilograms. After removing the basket of 4 kilograms, it actually weighed 105 kilograms. Zhao Qin thought it was not over [-] kilograms.

“Brother Dong, what’s the price of this fish?”

"Don't worry, I don't know about such a big guy. I'll call you later and ask."

Chen Dong's eyes lit up when he saw such a big red eel. The bigger it is, the more delicious it is, and the bigger it is, the easier it is to sell it. After being weighed and peeled, it weighed 13 kilograms and 4 taels.

Then came the yellow snapper, which weighed more than 9 kilograms, the black snapper, which only had three tails, which together weighed less than four kilograms, and the sea bass, which also had four tails, totaling just over 4 kilograms. As for the white eel, Zhao Qin did not sell it and planned to keep it at home to eat.

I ate it last time and it was quite good. There were also some miscellaneous fish, such as drum fish, so I just kept them all and they were not worth selling.

Then came another bucket. Chen Dong didn't pay attention just now. He kept pumping oxygen and couldn't see clearly because of the blisters. When Zhao Qin said that there were no eels or anything in it, he reached in and took a look, "I'll go, this bucket That’s the good stuff.”

When Father Chen heard what he said, he also looked over and said, "Hey, it has tiger spots and it's so big."

Zhao Qin smiled and said nothing, then put the tiger stripe on the scale. The peeled weight was exactly 15 kilograms, which was considered quite large.

When he saw the red spots, Chen Dong's eyes nearly bulged out, "This one must weigh five pounds, right? Did it come from a longline?"

Zhao Qin hummed and fished out the other three tails. When he saw the biggest one, even Chen's father couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's so big, it must weigh ten kilograms."

"Aqin, your harvest will go to heaven."

"Brother Dong, I'd better stay on the ground and be practical. Let's get on the scale first?"

Seeing Zhao Qin put all the fish in a basket, Chen Dong also knew that this guy looked like a fisherman, but in fact he was just a layman.

"They are all separated. This is based on weight, one price per piece."

Zhao Qin was stunned, but he still followed the advice and put each fish into a separate basket. He picked up the smallest fish and was about to throw it into his own bucket, but Chen Dong stopped him: "What do you want to do? "

"Take it back to eat, Brother Dong. You said the customers had already ordered the lobster last time, but I couldn't get it. This time, no customers ordered it in advance."

Zhao Ping happened to be here too. He sighed when he heard this and didn't bother to stop him anymore. He felt tired.

"You...you can't...Aqin, do you know why this fish is so expensive?" Chen Dong rolled his eyes. He knew that if he said something expensive, Zhao Qin would definitely keep one, so he planned to take a roundabout way. one time.

"It must be expensive for a reason. It should taste good, right?"

Chen Dong shook his head decisively, "I'm telling you, this fish tastes similar to wild bass. The reason why it is expensive is because it is red and everyone thinks it is festive. You might as well save the wild bass and go back to eat it."

Zhao Qin was naturally not that easy to fool. He looked at his elder brother, who was nodding wildly. Well, if you ask him, he might say that it tastes similar to tarpon and can only be used to feed ducks.

"The taste is just that, Ah Qin. It's not cost-effective to eat this fish by yourself."

After hearing what Chen's father said, Zhao Qin believed it and put the fish into the basket on the scale.
