"Why are you still here?" There were enough people on the boat that Zhao Qin couldn't help at all, so he simply got off the boat and went ashore, and happened to see his father beside him.

"Approximately how many are there? I can't see clearly."

"We must have caught 2000 kilograms of fish, and most of them are large skinned fish and sole fish."

"A catch without money?"

Zhao Qin looked around and said in a low voice: "The lobster is estimated to be fifty or sixty pounds."

When he heard that there were fifty or sixty kilograms of lobsters, Zhao Anguo couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in a low voice: "This is a nest, but there are many of them, which means there are many rocks underneath. Will the loss of the net be big?"

As expected of an old fisherman, he immediately got to the point.

"Both nets have holes in them, but the others are fine."

"That's okay, I can accept the loss."

After chatting with me for a while, Ahe also came over on a tricycle, "Brother, Brother Dong said there is no rush. He will wait no matter how late it is. He also said that he just can't leave, otherwise he should come to help."

"Well, let's smoke one."

Zhao Qin took out his cigarettes and gave one to Laozi and Lao Liu first, then to himself and Ahe.

"Aqin, move what you have untied to the tricycle first, and put it aside to take up space." Several people untied the fish, and Zhao Ping was responsible for sorting the net.

"I know bro."

"Aqin, how about I help carry it?"

"No need, Old Liu, just hold my dad's wheelchair." There are a lot of people at the pier, so don't accidentally bump into the wheelbarrow, and it will be a lot of fun if it rolls into the sea.

There is strength in numbers, and they are all veterans. The ones with the slowest hands are Xia Rong, Lao Xing and Lao Zhu. They used to help untie and dry the nets at the dock, so they are very familiar with it.

It was getting dark, the net was almost untied, and there were fewer and fewer people on the dock.

Some people can't stand the sight of other people's good harvests and just walk away without seeing them. Some people have things to do at home and leave. Of course, some people just want to see how much they harvested today.

Zhao Qin first sent the goods to the town without paying attention to Chen Dong's questions, and then came back to pick up the goods.

Seeing that the fishing net was completely untied and several people were about to disperse, Zhao Qin stopped them.

He took out money from his pocket and handed one to each person.

"Aqin, what are you doing? We are here to help."

"If you don't accept it, it means you don't want to help me in the future. If you want to help me, then accept it, and each of you can take a skinned fish home to eat."

"No, you have too much."

"Today's harvest is good, we are all very happy. If we ask for your help in the future, we will count it as hourly wages at the dock."

After hearing what he said, everyone knew that they couldn't refuse. Lao Zhu took the money with a smile and said, "Thank you, boss, for the reward."

Zhao Qin smiled and kicked him, but Lao Zhu easily dodged it.

"Brother, save enough bait for tomorrow, take the rest back and share it with Grandma, and each family will pickle some salted fish." Zhao Qin pointed to two baskets of worthless small fish.

He turned to Xia Rong and said, "Sister-in-law, there are a lot of them. As long as we are still putting out sticky nets, there will definitely be no shortage of these. You can give some to your parents' family and let them marinate some too."

After arranging things, Zhao Qin got on the tricycle and rushed to the town. He knew that there was someone there to pick up the goods, so Ahe was unwilling to follow him.

Zhao Qin looked at the villagers dispersing one after another and sighed. It is estimated that in the next two days, the village will be full of legends about him again.

People, being too good is not very good either.

Riding his bicycle to the purchasing station, Chen Dong helped unload the goods and asked, "Is there any more?"

"Brother Dong, there are only three of us, you want to tire us to death."

"Haha." Chen Dong smiled, and when he saw the contents of his new bucket, he immediately exclaimed, "Fuck, there are so many lobsters!"

"Aqin, is the net yield so good?"

"I don't know, it just happened to us."

Father Chen glanced at the harvest and nodded slightly, "This season is quite suitable for sticking nets, but if you want to have a harvest like Aqin, you have to be very lucky."

When he saw the moray eel being lifted off, Father Chen's eyes lit up, "Hey, dear, it's so big, Ah Qin, the belly of this fish is the essence."

Zhao Qin's eyes lit up and he put the basket aside and said, "Uncle, I won't sell this one. Let us divide it later and keep half for each of us."

"That's a lot of money!" Chen Dong was a little depressed, secretly blaming himself for being too talkative. If he told a few customers about such a big moray eel, they would fight over him.

"I don't care about this, our family's financial situation is not that we can't afford it." After Zhao Qin finished speaking, he burst out laughing, which also made Father Chen amused.

"Weigh the live fish first. I see there are tiger spots and red spots." Chen Dong was very happy. Although the conger eel was gone, there were still lobsters and the big cat shark left. The market is shaking.

There were also a lot of live fish. After all, a lot of fish were caught on the boat, plus the income from longline fishing.

The most eye-catching live fish must be the big cat shark, which weighs 17 pounds and 3 taels. Even Mr. Chen, an old fisherman, said he has only seen such a big fish twice, which shows how rare it is.

The weight of the manta ray and the manta ray are about the same, both around 150 kilograms, and then there is the real sea bream, which weighs about 80 kilograms.

After weighing the live fish, they were lobsters. A total of more than 60 lobsters were caught, weighing 53 kilograms together.

The blue crabs weighed 107 kilograms, the orchid crabs weighed about 145 kilograms, and the pufferfish from the sole fish, a total of 26 and a half baskets, each weighing 1300 to 713 kilograms. The total weighed about [-] kilograms, and the pufferfish weighed [-] kilograms.

The last weighing was more complicated, including rattle snails, coconut snails, and black sea bream, all weighing around a hundred pounds.

After crossing the scale, he started to calculate the accounts. Chen Dong fiddled with the calculator for a while. The price of the fish he had sold before did not fluctuate much. The price of fish with more than one pound of red spots rose to 240 yuan.

The price of lobster has also increased by 10 yuan compared to before, with the partial price being 25 yuan. The small fish sole is priced at the same price as the pufferfish, which is 14 yuan per catty. The big cat shark is priced at 90 yuan per catty. Pretty good.

After a moment, the total comes out and the blocks are totaled.

"The sticky net you bought is so worth it. With just a fraction of what you harvest in a day, you can make more money from the net."

"Brother Dong, there are also gas expenses and labor costs." After calculating the total amount, Zhao Qin was a little disappointed. He was so busy that his income was only more than [-], which was not as good as the sardines that day. But after thinking about it, it was better than the sardines that day. Much easier.

"Like I don't know how much gas costs,"

After settling the bill, Zhao Qin remembered something and asked: "Brother Dong, last time my sister said that a cousin wanted to join the ship, and now he has found a job?"

"No, you didn't mention it, and your sister probably wouldn't be too embarrassed to say it again. Why, are you planning to add more people to the ship?"

"Well, the sticky net is a little busy, and the ship will arrive home in three months, so we have to consider the manpower there."

Chen Dong called his wife down, and she agreed with a smile. She called and said, "I can follow the boat early tomorrow morning. Aqin, if you don't understand, just scold me."

"Sister, I will definitely not show mercy to those who deserve to be scolded, but I am also a second-hand swordsman, and I am often bullied by my big brother on the boat.

My eldest brother's motorcycle is parked here. You ask him to ride it to the village pier early tomorrow morning and wait for me. Forget it, he may not know him. I'll do it..."

"It's okay. He knows him from your village. You don't have to worry about anything else. Just go back quickly."

"No, I still want to share this eel with my uncle."

……

PS: The big melon in the village will come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Hey, this sentence seems familiar, as if I said it sometime.

Haha, I can’t help it. I just followed the outline and it’s not easy to limit the number of words. I should be able to write it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
