Chapter 243

When he hurriedly borrowed a bicycle from A-Cai and found a tractor, the shore was already surrounded by people three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Everyone make way, make way..."

No need to think, he knew that the news of them catching an oarfish must have spread. These villagers on the shore were all surrounding there waiting to watch the fun.

Just as Ye Yaodong was about to squeeze into the crowd, he was grabbed by Xiao Xiao and A-Zheng.

"Holy crap... Dongzi, you're here, just preparing to find you. Where did you catch the oarfish?"

"Right, where did you catch it, holy crap, such a big one, almost blinded my eyes."

The villagers nearby saw him and also surrounded him and asked: "How many meters is that oarfish, looks so long, where was it caught?"

"Just heard that it's called an earthquake fish..."

"Is an earthquake coming here?"

"Heard it might be a tsunami..."

Everyone surrounded him and asked questions, throwing out a bunch of questions. At this time, it was just when the fishing boats docked. Except for the early morning, this was the liveliest time on the wharf, and there were people everywhere.

Ye Yaodong was asked by everyone's words, and his ears were buzzing. He hurriedly raised his hands, "Wait, wait, talk later. Let me lift the fish ashore first, everyone cooperate, make way..."

"Oh... make way... make way... you guys make way for Adong first..."

"The ones in front make way... Adong is here..."

Ye Yaodong finally squeezed out of the crowd and climbed onto the boat. Xiao Xiao and A-Zheng also followed and climbed onto the boat.

There were already several villagers his father was familiar with discussing there, and several relatives of his family. A-Cai was also measuring the length at a close distance.

Just right, he also wanted to know how many meters it was. Ye Yaodong hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Ready? How many meters?"

"6.3 meters, holy crap, this oarfish of yours is incredible. There hasn't been one in decades. Shall I contact a buyer for you?" A-Cai looked at him longingly.

"Didn't my father tell you? I plan to send it to the town wharf, warn everyone, and see if there are any competitive bids?"

"Sigh, said it. Isn't this wanting to ask you? It's so much easier for me to contact a buyer for you..."

"Keep the cargo on the boat first, and there is a parrotfish. I have to send this oarfish to the town."

Sending it to the wharf is more eye-catching, more sensational, and more people know about it. Advertise it widely, and there will definitely be more bosses bidding than the people he contacts. He doesn't do loss-making business!

Ye Yaodong said while greeting his two friends to lift it together. Others saw this and also stepped forward one after another.

My god, such a big oarfish, first time seeing it in this life! Of course, have to lift it!

Ye Fu had already touched it I don't know how many times. At this moment, he stayed on the boat to watch the cargo. It wouldn't be too late to move the cargo and weigh it after sending it away.

A-Cai hurriedly followed and said: "Don't pass my hand, let me weigh it too. Everyone is curious about how many jin this oarfish weighs."

"Can."

"I'll go call someone to move the scale out first."

The width of this oarfish's body was almost as wide as an adult's body, and the size was scary.

Seven or eight people lifted the fish body and walked slowly from the boat. Actually, it didn't need so many people, but everyone was very curious and wanted to help.

Ye Yaodong felt a bit regretful. If there was a camera, he would take a photo to record it. This is his rare highlight moment.

"Everyone make way, make way..."

"Make way, let us lift the fish ashore..."

"Holy crap~ such a big hairtail, never seen such a big one in my life."

"Said it's an oarfish, you still hairtail hairtail... this is an earthquake fish... very rare..."

"My god... really so big... so long... never seen it before..."

"Really or fake, will an earthquake come? Or a tsunami? Then the next few days won't be peaceful?"

"Is this going to be auctioned in the town..."

A-Cai greeted the people watching the fun nearby and helped move the scale out from inside, placing it on the open space at the entrance.

Afraid that the fish was too long to weigh, he took a wide broken wooden board and padded it on the scale, which was easier to weigh.

The crowd automatically flashed a path. Everyone lifted this long oarfish together, curled it into several circles, and placed it on the wooden board to weigh.

Everyone surrounded it, all stretching their heads to watch A-Cai add weights one by one. Until the balance started to float, he moved the scale back and forth until the balance swung back and forth in the middle, and then he said excitedly: "Holy crap, 202 jin 4 liang, damn so big, heavier than the big grouper weighed a few days ago."

The villagers were in an uproar, and exclamations rose one after another in the crowd.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly reminded him, "There's still a board, the weight of the wooden board must also be deducted!"

"Know, know, you move the fish away first, didn't have time to weigh the wooden board before you lifted the fish up."

After they moved the fish away, A-Cai took all the weights down, and then put on a five-jin one and a one-jin one.

"The wooden board is exactly deducted by 6 jin, this fish weighs 196 jin 4 liang."

Everyone kept saying holy crap, the excited mood, maybe people from other villages came to see it, which would make people think it was caught by everyone together...

"Alright, measured, weighed, let's hurry up and move it to the car."

Amidst the villagers' discussion, and with everyone's help, the group lifted the oarfish toward the tractor again, and then curled it into several circles before placing it on it. Ye Yaodong followed and jumped onto the tractor, carefully standing in the gap, not stepping on it.

He took the opportunity to greet Xiao Xiao and A-Zheng and others to come up together. Of course, have to call more people to help with such a big fish.

More people, more power, of course stronger than fighting alone.

What if you run into someone unreasonable?

"Dongzi, let your two cousins go together? More people can move and lift, and can help if something happens." Ye Mu felt that they had a few people, and the eldest and second son hadn't returned from the sea yet. She prepared to call the two eldest nephews to help together.

"Can, I was just preparing to call the two cousins to go together."

Others were also eager to try, wanting to follow to watch the fun, but people didn't speak, so they were embarrassed to follow.

After everyone stood on the car, the tractor started to turn. The villagers then cooperated to give way. Just as the tractor planned to drive away, a shouting sound came from behind.

"Wait, Dongzi, wait for me, I haven't got on the car yet..."

Ye Yaodong looked over when he heard the words. It was A-Guang squeezing over from the crowd. He hurriedly told the tractor driver to stop first.

"You just came back?"

A-Guang ran forward quickly, supported the tractor with one hand, and then jumped up.

"Holy crap, damn, really so big? I didn't believe it when your father said it on the boat, really damn big..."

He said while touching the fish head, "How many jin is this one, how many meters?"

"6.3 meters, 196 jin 4 liang."

"I grass mud horse, got rich again. Where was it caught? How come I didn't run into such a good thing? Looks like I still have to mix with you?"

Ye Yaodong said with a happy grin: "It was when I was going to collect the longline fishing, I found it on the sea surface. But at that time, I didn't know what it was, just looked a bit strange under the water, so I steered the boat and followed..."

He briefly told everyone on the car about the process of encountering the oarfish, and everyone couldn't help but curse his dog shit luck.

They are all working at sea, how come they don't have such an encounter? All good things are his first, angry to death.

"Damn, take me to that island you met tomorrow, see if I can pick one up too?" A-Guang said with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Give us one each too!"

"Grass, dreaming?"

"I haven't even heard of what an oarfish is? If I saw it, I might have ignored it directly, you actually followed it."

Ye Yaodong said triumphantly: "So today I'll give you a lesson. If you encounter strange things at sea, it's best to follow and take a look. If you are afraid of danger, don't follow too close. Maybe there will be different discoveries."

"Really is."
