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

We came back early today, it was only five o'clock when we approached the dock, and the sun was still high.

Because Kaihai Pier is already busy, many people have boats at home. Although they know that they will not come back so early, they will still wait at the pier early.

There are also some gourmets who want to try something new, also waiting here, thinking about tasting the first seafood after the sea is opened.

Some fishing boats operating at night have already docked at the dock, with some unloading and some unloading.

Zhao Qin and his boat waited for about ten minutes before they were notified that they could dock.

The more people there are, the more people will talk about it. Those aunts and busybodies, whether it is their own fishing boat or not, will always come up to ask about their income.

Seeing so many people, Zhao Qin felt dizzy for a while, "Brother, you and Ah He wait a moment and move the buckets and other groceries ashore first. I'll go to Brother Dong's house to ride a tricycle, and we'll come over later to unload the white pomfret together." .”

He was afraid that so many white pomfrets would come ashore and everyone would gather around to watch them. It would not be a big deal if one or two of them were taken away, but it would be bad if they were squeezed and fell into the sea.

"Okay, then you go."

As soon as Zhao Qin jumped ashore, enthusiastic people started asking questions.

"How's the harvest? It should be pretty good today, the first day out on the sea, right?"

"Young man, are there any fresh goods on board? Take them out and let me take a look."

"Everyone, wait a minute, my boat is owned by Xianlong Fisheries. If you want to buy goods, you can go to his house. Please give way."

Zhao Qin explained with a smile, then squeezed through the crowd and ran away.

As soon as he left, everyone's eyes glanced at Zhao Ping and the two who were carrying the goods. They found that the baskets were all empty, and many people dispersed angrily.

Others muttered that it seemed like today’s harvest was not that good.

When Zhao Ping saw that there were so many people, he asked Ah He to stand on top, and he handed it up under the boat. Ah He received it on the shore and could also look at the goods. If both of them were moving, no one would look at the goods.

Seeing the fish coming up, some of the people who had dispersed gathered around him again.

"Hey, you guys are out in the cage. These blue crabs are pretty good. I'll cover the price of this basket."

"Why is this harvest so mixed? You also trawled the net?"

"Do you have any shrimp mushrooms? How much does it cost per pound?"

Ah He thought to himself, no wonder he usually rides a bicycle by himself, but this time my brother rushed to go, he is so good at it.

Damn, I feel like I'm among hundreds of ducks.

"I'm sorry, these are products from Xianlong Aquatic Products. If you want to buy them, go to the store." Ah He followed Zhao Qin's behavior before and said to the people next to him with a smile.

Everyone rolled their eyes and came to the dock to intercept the goods. They just wanted to be cheaper than the buying station, otherwise why would they come here.

……

Zhao Qin ran to the purchasing station. Chen Dong was settling accounts with someone. There were more than a dozen baskets scattered beside him. It was obvious that he had just received goods from another family.

Father Chen had just come out of the cold storage. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and said, "The sea is open today, why did you come back earlier?"

"Uncle, I was lucky today. I encountered a school of fish, and the harvest was a bit more. The ice was less. I didn't worry that it would take too long and become stale, so I came back early."

"Hey, what kind of fish school?" Chen Dong asked first as he pointed out the money to the seller.

There are fixed purchase stations in some places. They usually give orders directly and settle the accounts at regular intervals. The fastest is a week, and the slower is monthly.

But there is no such thing in the local area. Money and goods are all settled on the spot.

"Big white pomfret."

When he heard it was Bai Pomfret, the man who was counting the money couldn't help but stop and look over.

"Hey, good stuff. How big is it? How many are there?" Father Chen also said with surprise.

"They are all over one kilogram, probably more than a thousand kilograms."

Hearing such data reported, Father Chen, an old man in the world, couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed, "Why are there so many?"

Chen Dong excitedly jumped on his tricycle and said to Chen's father: "Dad, please take a look at your home, and I will help you along."

After saying that, he also urged Zhao Qin.

Zhao Qin had no choice but to climb onto the back of the bucket, while Chen Dong lit the fire and the two rushed to the dock.

"Excuse me, we need to unload the goods." When we arrived at the dock, Chen Dong said to the people around him.

Zhao Qin was fighting in the back. Because the hood of the tricycle was still there, he couldn't see clearly what was going on at the dock. When he saw the tricycle slow down, he jumped out of the car.

"Ahe, you and Brother Dong are here to look at the goods. I'll go down and move the goods."

"I'll go, you watch here." Ah He walked down without waiting for him to say anything else.

Chen Dong took out his cigarettes and smoked one for everyone he knew or not. He smiled and asked everyone to make some space.

When the first basket of white pomfret was carried ashore, everyone's expressions changed.

"Damn it, why didn't you take out this good product earlier?"

"Hey, silver pomfret, this head is quite big, it's great to steam it."

"Young man, I've rounded this basket. What's the price?"

"Are there any more? How many have been caught?"

Chen Dong next to him had a dark look on his face. At least a third of the people here knew that he was the owner of the buying station. It was unkind to just pry into his own business.

"Everyone, this boat is owned by Xianlong Fisheries. I am a wage earner. The boss is here. You can ask him."

Chen Dong heard this and smiled reservedly at everyone, "Everyone, the ones that just got off the ship are fresh. If you want to keep the goods, please tell me in advance. There are a lot of them this time. I plan to send them away while they are fresh."

"How much is a little too much?"

Before Chen Dong could answer, he saw Zhao Ping and others bringing up another basket.

"Oh, that's quite a lot. Here's another basket."

"Is there more?"

"Good boy, look at how they opened the sea. They made a lot of money on the first day."

"These two baskets must weigh more than a hundred kilograms, and they are worth several thousand."

"Well, the white pomfret is still so big, so the price is definitely not low."

"Mr. Chen, keep the two biggest ones. I will pick them up from your store later."

"Leave one for me too."

Everyone knew that they would not be able to take advantage of it, but some still wanted to try it. After all, catching white pomfret also depends on luck, and some boats may not catch such a big one, so they still thought of ordering one or two.

When the third, fourth, and fifth baskets were brought up, people who had not wanted to join in the fun also learned the news and immediately surrounded the tricycle.

It took 27 baskets to be moved before it was finished, and everyone was shocked.

Oh my god, is this an offshore fishing boat?

Usually, only those offshore fishing boats that go out for ten and a half months can achieve this harvest once dozens of baskets are landed.

"Brother Dong, why don't you take a trip first?" Zhao Qin asked Chen Dong who was bragging to others. This guy really thought that these fish were collected from his own boat.

It couldn't be piled up, and 27 baskets of tricycles couldn't fit in it. Chen Dong came back from his excitement, said yes a few times, got on the tricycle and went home first.

Then came the second trip. When they saw so many fish taken out from the live cabin, everyone was completely speechless. Their eyes kept scanning Zhao Qin and the other three. These three guys must be very lucky.

Chen Dong was even more happy when he saw that there was still a living cabin. He picked up the tiger striped tail and took one look at it, and it was booked immediately.

"Brother Dong, go back quickly."

Although Zhao Qin was not afraid of such a scene, he was not used to being the focus of other people's discussions. Of course, he couldn't hear the discussions behind his back, so it didn't matter.
