Chapter 112

It wasn't until they sailed several nautical miles away that the waves became smaller, and waves several meters high didn't appear at every turn, so the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, it's a good thing we ran fast. It scared the hell out of me. I thought I was going to be finished here today." After getting far away, A Guang still had lingering fears. After all, he is only a 24-year-old young man, and it is normal for him not to have seen big storms.

"That wouldn't happen. It's just better to run a little faster."

Although Ye Yaodong was a little nervous, he knew it wouldn't be that easy to be finished.

"Alright, let's raise the net. After pulling this net up, we'll hurry back. The wind and waves at sea are getting bigger and bigger."

"Let's go, let's go. Pull the net up. We'll feel at ease only after reaching the shore."

"Let's see if you dare to go to sea on a typhoon day next time!"

A Guang looked at him with disdain, "Didn't you also want to come out and look around?"

Wasn't that because I thought the typhoon was still a few days away? According to his many years of experience, if you don't run too far, the waves won't be too big. Today can be considered a narrow escape...

"Stop talking nonsense. This net is so heavy. Come and help quickly. I feel like it's one or two hundred jin?"

Ye Yaodong hurriedly reached out and found that he really couldn't pull it, "Is there something in it? It's actually so heavy. Usually, it's already amazing if our small boat can drag over a hundred jin in one net."

"Use some strength!"

"I've used all the strength I have!"

"Whose milk are you using? There's a big difference in that!"

"Damn it, do you have to be so vulgar? We're pulling the net, and you're still making dirty jokes. Sure enough, you've become a pervert after being single for so long."

"Then you help your brother solve it."

"Screw you, you want me to help you solve it? You want to die? I'm straight, I only like my wife."

"You damn..."

The two of them started cursing at each other while bantering. Their anger was released through their strength, and it took a lot of effort to slowly pull this net up.

As soon as the cargo surfaced, the two of them saw the true face of this net!

"Big Giant Grouper!

!"

"Big Giant Grouper!

!"

They exclaimed in unison! They almost slipped and let the net fall back from the slipway.

"Quick, quick, quick, pull it up!"

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to pull the cargo of this net up.

Looking at this big giant grouper on the deck, both of them were pleasantly surprised.

The giant grouper, scientific name Epinephelus lanceolatus, also known as the pig-lamb grouper, is the largest species of grouper.

"Struck it rich?!"

"No wonder the waves were so high before. It turns out there was a big catch! The big brother of groupers!" Ye Yaodong happily patted this big guy.

"This one must be one or two hundred jin, right? We are truly a perfect match!"

"We have to weigh it to know. It's definitely over a hundred jin, but it might be a bit short of two hundred jin. However, over a hundred jin, this big giant grouper can be considered a treasure of the fishing net. Its value has greatly increased, and it can be sold for a good price."

"Move it to the side, don't crush those small fish and shrimp."

The two of them worked together to lift this fish. There were quite a few fish and shrimp underneath, but in front of this big giant grouper, those fish cargoes seemed a bit small.

Ye Yaodong casually took a golden pomfret that he estimated to weigh one and a half jin and placed it on the head of the giant grouper. It instantly formed a sharp contrast. The excitement in his eyes was about to overflow, "Struck it rich!"

"Damn, this trip wasn't in vain after all. Sure enough, risk is accompanied by opportunity. We've earned big, it's worth several hundred yuan." A Guang couldn't wait to pounce on it and kiss it a few times.

"And these three-knife fish look like they weigh more than 20 jin. This is also worth a lot of money. That big basket of swimming crabs over there is also okay, and there are other fish cargoes..."

"It's worth it, we've earned it!"

While the two were talking, waves hit the deck from the stern again, and the wind grew stronger. Ye Yaodong said with a smiling face, "The waves are getting a bit big again. You sort out the fish cargo, I'll go sail the boat. Let's get this cargo to the pier early."

Cashing in early is the real deal!

"Okay, you go, leave it to me here."

A Guang kept circling around this big giant grouper, the smile on his face never fading. He didn't go to sort out those small fish and shrimp for a long time.

Those are not as important as this big giant grouper. He hadn't had enough of it yet.

After dragging nets for several days, they only caught a big haul today. Before, they were all relying on quantity to win.

The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth were also constantly rising. Seeing A Guang still happily laughing there, he teased, "Hurry up and wipe your saliva, otherwise the giant grouper will be drowned by you."

A Guang wiped it, and there really was saliva. He rubbed it on his body; anyway, his clothes were already dirty.

"I'm not like you. This is the first time I've caught a big haul today."

That's true.

Although Ye Yaodong was also excited and thrilled, his reaction wasn't as big as A Guang's!

The big croaker weighing over 55 jin that they caught a few days ago was more valuable than this giant grouper. That big croaker was valuable because of the fish maw, while this giant grouper relies entirely on its body size and weight to sell for a high price.

"When we go back, they will be envious again."

A Guang said hesitantly, "We didn't tell A Zheng and Xiao Xiao that we risked coming out today. I wonder if they will feel uncomfortable after hearing about it?"

Ye Yaodong also frowned, "That shouldn't be! Who stipulated that every friend must be tied together? If you choose who to call to go to sea, do you still have to ask for other people's opinions? Whether you can catch good cargo also depends on luck. This was obtained by us taking risks."

"I'm just afraid they will overthink it like Uncle Awei."

"That shouldn't be. Uncle Awei was always quiet and had a lot on his mind. A Zheng and Xiao Xiao have very cheerful temperaments. It was an adventurous thing to begin with. Being less involved doesn't mean it's a bad thing. We were also gambling on luck."

"Hmm."

A Guang was also scared by Uncle Awei at that time. They were good friends, but now they are still so angry that they don't associate with each other.

Originally, there are relatively close friends and relatively ordinary ones among friends. When they want to buy a boat and go to sea, they will definitely choose the relatively close ones. Do they have to bring everyone every time?

Putting this matter behind him for the time being, A Guang also started to sort the goods.

That big giant grouper was too big and had no container to hold it, so it could only be thrown on the deck.

On the way back, there were gradually more boats on the sea level, especially when they were about to reach the shelter harbor in their town. The sea was full of boats queuing up to enter the harbor.

Their boat had a lot of cargo and had to be unloaded first. Ye Yaodong bypassed them directly and sailed toward their pier.

After more than half a day, more than half of the boats at the pier were gone. Only a small part remained there, swaying and rocking with the strong wind and waves.

There were waves on the shore today, whereas the area around the pier was calm yesterday, indicating that the typhoon was approaching.

Looking carefully, his family's boat and Xiao Xiao's and A Zheng's boats were not there. He felt a little relieved; they should have already sailed to the shelter harbor.

Before the boat reached the shore, the few scattered people on the shore had already stared wide-eyed from a high position.

"Look, look~ What is that on that boat? What kind of fish? So big?"

The people next to her also looked in the direction of her gaze and were stunned, "That's a giant grouper, right?"

The big giant grouper is huge and super easy to identify!

"Holy crap, someone actually went to sea on a typhoon day and even caught a big giant grouper?"

"Whose brat is that? Don't they want their lives? Actually still dragging nets on a typhoon day?"

After the boat docked, everyone saw clearly.

"A Guang and Adong, those two brats?"

"Struck it rich, their luck is really good. They actually caught a big guy. Ye Laosan's family has really been thriving lately. Every good thing happens to them."

"I heard they opened a conch pearl a few days ago and also picked up a leopard coral grouper."

"This family's luck has come, and it can't be stopped. Even if the foundation with good feng shui was sold, the family can still be so prosperous."

"Why didn't such a good thing happen to us? That big giant grouper must be one or two hundred jin, right?"

There were not many people on the shore on a typhoon day, but the few scattered people had a lot to say. They all gathered there, pointing at the big giant grouper and discussing it, their faces full of envy, and their words carried a sour taste.

They didn't avoid suspicion either, and each spoke louder than the other. The content of their words followed the wind into the ears of the two.

Neither of them took it to heart. After tying and fixing the boat, they took the lead in lifting the big giant grouper from the deck off the boat.

After getting ashore, everyone saw it more clearly.

"My god, it's actually this big! It's more than half a person high."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ This big giant grouper is really not small. You two brats are going to strike it rich!"

"Where did you catch such a big one? A typhoon is coming, and you actually dared to go to sea?" Everyone followed them, talking as they walked.

A group of people gathered around them, making it hard to walk. A Guang said angrily, "Caught at sea, where else could it be caught? Make way."

A Cai also saw it at the entrance and hurriedly greeted them, looking at this big giant grouper with glowing eyes, "Holy crap, good guy, so big, you caught it?"

Others at the acquisition point also gathered around, "Such a big giant grouper? Rare, sell it to me!"

"Go, go, go, their cargo is fixed for me to collect," A Cai glared and waved away others who were grabbing business, and instantly piled up a smile again toward Ye Yaodong and A Guang, "Quickly lift it to my place to weigh it."

The two walked directly toward A Cai's small acquisition shed. They were originally going to lift it to this dead fatty's place.

"Weigh this first, there is some other cargo behind."

A Cai couldn't help but give them a thumbs up, "This is at least one or two hundred jin. You two are really capable, bold, and can strike it rich!"

"Stop talking nonsense, weigh it quickly, how much is it per jin?"

"Weigh it first, weigh it first. After weighing, I'll help you contact a buyer."

After A Cai put two 50kg weights on it, he found it was too much, so he took one off, added a 25kg weight, and then added 10kg weights again and again.

A group of people around were surrounding the scale, stretching their heads to look at the weight, while discussing.

"It's not 200 jin, it's so big, I thought it was 200 jin!"

"Not 200, it should be 180, right?"

Finally, after A Cai saw the scale clearly, he said, "190 jin!"

The crowd was in an uproar. A 190-jin giant grouper, no one in their village had ever caught one, and no one in the town had ever caught one this big!

Ye Yaodong and A Guang's mouths instantly widened. Good guy, it's actually 190 jin!
