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

To be honest, people are really cruel. The two brothers are now playing the role of a demolition team, and they don't even give the swiftlets any compensation.

Of course, compared to others, the two brothers were naturally lenient. Not only did they not touch the chicks and eggs, they also left the empty nests alone.

They only harvest about half of the crops every year and do not collect all of them.

Zhao Qin also planned to find someone to help him process the bird's nest. He planned to keep a few kilograms for his family.

Especially for people like my sister-in-law, who has just finished her confinement, or if Ah Xue is about to get pregnant, it would be beneficial to eat bird's nest regularly.

Zhao Qin raised his hand and glanced at his watch. They came in around nine o'clock. It was already noon.

Together, the two of us collected about one snakeskin bag. The rest was more difficult to collect because we had to use a ladder to get to the top.

The two of them decided not to pick it.

"Brother, let's go out and eat something first."

Zhao Ping stretched his arms. It was tiring to keep them lifted all the time. "Okay, I'll carry it."

"You go first, I'll carry you."

With Zhao Qin’s current physical condition, he couldn’t feel this amount of weight at all.

The two men carefully groped their way out of the cave and saw two people get on the boat. Ah He breathed a sigh of relief and began to take out the food he had brought. After a simple wash, the two men quickly washed up and Zhao Qin was busy cooking soup.

Only he can do this job. The eldest brother and Ah He are not incapable of doing it either, but the soup they cook is either too bland or too salty. They simply cannot control the saltiness.

A Yuan took a big gulp of his drink, burped, and then said excitedly, "Dad, I caught two fish."

"Ayuan was lucky today. He caught a rock snapper weighing more than three kilograms." Ah He praised with a smile.

"Okay, eat quickly. If you feel sleepy after eating, take a nap on the boat. We won't be back until the evening."

"Uncle, can this bird's nest be eaten?" A Yuan took a look at the bag and asked curiously.

"That won't work. There are too many impurities. We need to find someone to pick out the impurities and feathers."

After dinner, Ah He suggested, "Brother Ping, let me and my brother go in later. You can stay outside with Ah Yuan for a while."

"That's fine, big brother. You can just rest outside for a while. I'll take Ah He in."

Zhao Ping heard Zhao Qin say the same thing, so he nodded slightly and said, "Don't be too late, we'll work until four o'clock, and we won't pick any that we haven't finished yet."

"Let's go, Ah He."

Ah He was quite excited. This was the third year of mining and he finally had the chance to go in and take a look.

As a result, after only working for an hour, this guy wanted to pee and then poop, which made Zhao Qin so angry that he almost kicked him out.

At four o'clock, the two men had picked up half of the snakeskin bag and finally came out.

After tying the foam raft, start the boat to retrieve the hook.

"Brother, come and pull it."

Zhao Qin smiled, and seemed to have suddenly returned to the time when he had just bought the boat from Old Xue’s family two years ago.

They picked up the float and began to reel in the line. Originally, the three of them didn't expect to get anything, just some live fish to eat.

As a result, the first basket of fish caught more than 30 kilograms of fish, the largest of which was a perch weighing more than 10 kilograms.

The hook in the second basket was better, and it caught a red snapper weighing more than three kilograms and an eel weighing nearly ten kilograms. Eels of this size are quite enjoyable to eat.

The third basket was filled with fish from Ah He, and the results were good. He caught two three-tailed bream and two spring bream, and the rest were almost all black porgy.

The fourth basket was hooked, and Zhao Ping wanted to try it out. Although there were no good fish in this basket, it was the one with the most harvests. He caught seven or eight Bao Gong fish, each weighing more than five kilograms.

After pulling up all the fish from four baskets, we had more than 100 kilograms of catch, which we might not be able to eat all.

Zhao Ping was driving the boat, while Zhao Qin was using a scoop net to sort the fish. He kept the eels for himself, and also had two steamed eels that were also good.

Shi Jiugong kept a few big ones to use in making soup.

"Ah He, you can give the rest to your father-in-law. It's up to you whether you sell it or give it to him."

"No, my father-in-law no longer accepts fish."

Zhao Qin was stunned, "What is he doing now?"

"He plans to open a dry goods factory. As you said before, he will provide raw materials to Tianqin. He has already signed a purchase and sales contract with Brother Yu."

"That's not bad." Zhao Qin looked at the fish in the live tank again, "Then pick a few more and send some to Pingping's family. I'll send the rest to the purchasing station in town."

Arriving home in the evening, Zhao Qin rode his tricycle to deliver the fish to the town first. He did not sell the red grouper but gave it directly to his father. As for the rest of the fish, he asked Chen Dong to weigh them himself.

Just make an invoice for the amount and give it to Chen Xue when the time comes.

When he got home, Zhao Ping had already hung the bird's nest up to dry. "Will you take it away tomorrow?"

"Well, sell most of it, and I'll have someone clean up the rest for me to keep for my family, my sister-in-law, Axue, and Sister Yan. They can all use it."

Zhao Ping nodded, "Then I'll help you install it tomorrow morning."

……

Early in the morning, Chen Xue brought the clothes he was going to wear to the bedside and said, "You wear this today."

Zhao Qin finished washing up and came out of the bathroom to take a look. "No need to be too formal, it's just a meeting between friends."

"Your outfit matches mine very well."

Well, women think a lot.

That’s right, Zhao Qin asked Chen Xue to go with him to Xiamen today, since there wasn’t much business to do anyway.

This was different from the year before, when Zhao Qin didn't even have a driver's license and the two could only take the bus. This year, they drove.

Driving to his eldest brother's house, Zhao Ping put two bags of bird's nests into the trunk and said, "Take Ah Xue with you. Drive slowly."

Zhao Qin waved his hands, and when he saw Miaomiao running out, he quickly stepped on the accelerator and ran away. If he was entangled by this little girl, he would burst into tears and he would not be able to help but take her with him.

It was also very fast to take the expressway directly. They arrived in Xia City in two hours.

I went to Chen Xue’s uncle’s house first. I had contacted him yesterday. When I arrived, the buyer was already waiting.

"They are all old customers. Let's take a look at the quality and make a quick decision." Liu Naixun said with a smile.

The buyer's surname was Yang. This was Zhao Qin's first visit, and half of the bird's nests were taken away by him. He poured out the bird's nests and took a closer look.

"The quality is the same as in previous years, there is no problem. Ah Qin, I know you found a nest to harvest, in fact, you can harvest twice a year."

Zhao Qin smiled and changed the subject, "Uncle Yang, I have to trouble you again."

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"I want to keep a few pounds, but I don't know how to handle it, and I don't trust others to do it for me. Can you help me? Don't worry, just name the labor fee."

"It's not a big deal. You came to me, Old Yang, because you trust me. But it's really troublesome to clean it up. How about taking one out of ten?"

Zhao Qin didn't hesitate at all, "Then leave ten kilograms of wet ones, and you can help me dry them for me."

The so-called "10% off" means that the processing price is not mentioned. For processing ten kilograms of bird's nest, a handling fee of one kilogram is charged. It is difficult to say whether this price is high or low.

The main reason is that the two parties are in long-term cooperation, and I don’t think Lao Yang will do anything wrong.

Excluding the leftovers, the remaining weight totaled 43 jin 7 liang. The price was higher than the previous year, about 40 yuan per gram. These were sold for more than 80 yuan in total.

After paying, Lao Yang wanted to treat Zhao Qin, but Zhao Qin used the excuse that he had something to do at noon, so Lao Yang did not want to stay.

As soon as he left, Zhao Qin looked at Liu Naixun again, "Uncle, after Mr. Yang is done, you can leave some for Aunt to stew when she's free. Ah Xue won't need that much anyway."

"We'll talk about this later. Do you really have something to do at noon?"
