Chapter 256: Drying Toadfish

Fortunately, they came back early. At this point, no fishing boats had docked yet, the pier wasn't busy, and fishmongers at nearby acquisition points heard the movement and hurriedly ran over to watch the excitement, sighing repeatedly.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ these abalones aren't small, Adong's luck is very good. Ever since your family caught a net of big yellow croaker, you've been lucky, as if you've been blessed by Mazu..."

"Who says not? Before, it was said that the feng shui of the new house was good, the foundation of the house was bought by someone, but the result was that changing the foundation didn't affect it..."

"That can't be said for sure."

"These sea snails aren't small either, most of them are fist-sized, usually you can't see so many at the pier at once, not to mention these few sacks of abalones..."

"These abalones aren't easy to get, who goes into the water in the middle of winter, didn't expect there to be a reef pushed up..."

"Luck is so good, you deserve to get rich..."

"I wonder if that small island will pop up again..."

Ye Mu said joyfully, "Oh, this is hard to say, it's good enough to encounter it once. It's also quite miserable, Dongzi and his father were soaked in the water, their feet were soaked and swollen, and his father still has rheumatism..."

"If I could encounter it, soaking the whole person in the water would be fine..."

"Hahaha... hurry up and help sort it..."

With many people, the strength was great. Amidst everyone's envy and jealousy, the sea snails and abalones were sorted out. The size of these sea snails was about the same. Except for a few that were particularly large, the others didn't need much sorting.

"Lift them all up to weigh, see how heavy they are."

"Abalone, abalone first..."

"Then abalone, weigh sack by sack..."

Everyone gathered around, stretching their heads to watch.

"This sack is 98 jin... lift it to the side, lift that one over... 92 jin 6 taels..."

"This sack is 86 jin 7 taels... there is also a basket of sea snails picked out here, lift it up too... 54 jin..."

A Cai read the weight after weighing, writing it down with a pen while reading.

"Boom, how many jin are these? Almost 300 jin?"

"277 jin 3 taels."

"My goodness... got rich... this abalone is several dollars a jin, right?"

"Several dollars, A Cai, how much did you collect it for?"

"How much? How much is A Cai paying?"

A Cai laughed. "The amount is too large, the amount is too large, weigh first, after weighing I have to contact a few more buyers."

A Cai laughed it off, "The amount is too large, too large. Weigh them first; after weighing, I still need to contact a few more buyers."

With such a large quantity, the introduction fee was enough for him to earn!

With such a large quantity, the referral fee alone would be enough for him to make a profit!

Ye Yaodong nodded; that was acceptable.

Ye Mu felt pained and couldn't help but keep saying, "Keep the small ones... keep the small ones..."

A Cai looked at his actions, widened his eyes, and snatched his bucket. "What are you doing, what are you doing..."

"Keep it to eat, what else can I do?"

"Holy crap, so extravagant? So expensive, how can you eat it? Sell it all to me, don't eat, don't eat."

"Damn, so extravagant? It's so expensive, how can you bring yourself to eat it? Sell it all to me, stop eating, stop eating."

"Give it back to me, you collected so many abalones, can't I keep a few small green lobsters to eat?"

"You spendthrift, you're keeping a few for me?"

"None of your business... go, go, go, weigh the fish first..."

"None of your business... go, go, go, go weigh the fish first..."

"Grab a few less... eat a little less..."

"Grab a few less... eat a little less..."

A Cai watched him grab constantly, heart aching, and had to weigh the fish first.

That giant cobia was relatively large, collected at 4 cents a jin. The whole fish weighed 27 jin 3, which could sell for 10.92 yuan. This fish could top that big yellow croaker.

It could only be said that the quality wasn't enough, and the quantity made up for it.

After weighing everything, he took the list and saw that the prices for abalone, sea snails, and small green lobsters were empty, while the prices for other goods were written down. After confirming it was correct, he put it away.

"I'll come over to settle the account in two days? No problem, right?"

After everything was weighed, he took the list and saw that the price column for the abalone, sea snails, and small lobsters was empty, while the other goods had prices written down. Only after confirming everything was correct did he put it away.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ these abalones aren't small, Adong's luck is very good. Ever since your family caught a net of big yellow croaker, you've been lucky, as if you've been blessed by Mazu..."

"Who says not? Before, it was said that the feng shui of the new house was good, the foundation of the house was bought by someone, but the result was that changing the foundation didn't affect it..."

"That can't be said for sure."

"277 jin 3 taels."

"My goodness... got rich... this abalone is several dollars a jin, right?"

"Several dollars, A Cai, how much did you collect it for?"

"Half of what we dried last time will go to the old house, and we can't eat the rest for long. I don't plan to go out to sea during the first lunar month. When there's no fresh fish then, we can eat some dried ones to change our palate. The temperature has been dropping day by day recently, but the weather is still quite good. Winter Solstice is coming soon, so it's a good time to dry a bit more."

A Cai laughed. "The amount is too large, the amount is too large, weigh first, after weighing I have to contact a few more buyers."

"Wait until Mother comes over to kill the fish at the door; it's not convenient for you to squat there right now."

With such a large quantity, the introduction fee was enough for him to earn!

After soaking his feet, Ye Yaodong originally wanted to nap for a while, but hearing the running and jumping sounds around the house and the constant noise of children, he had no choice but to go to the door to take a look.

He happened to see Lin Xiuqing's entire body sway as she stood up, which gave him a fright.

Ye Mu felt pained and couldn't help but keep saying, "Keep the small ones... keep the small ones..."

A Cai looked at his actions, widened his eyes, and snatched his bucket. "What are you doing, what are you doing..."

"Keep it to eat, what else can I do?"

"Holy crap, so extravagant? So expensive, how can you eat it? Sell it all to me, don't eat, don't eat."

Lin Xiuqing felt a bit embarrassed, "I'm fine, I'm better after steadying myself. It really was just standing up too abruptly."

"Give it back to me, you collected so many abalones, can't I keep a few small green lobsters to eat?"

"You spendthrift, you're keeping a few for me?"

"None of your business... go, go, go, weigh the fish first..."

Seeing her squat down again to pick up the scissors to kill the fish, Ye Yaodong quickly snatched them away, "I'll do it. You go wash your hands and cook dinner, be careful."

"Grab a few less... eat a little less..."

"Alright then, I'll go cook."

A Cai watched him grab constantly, heart aching, and had to weigh the fish first.

That giant cobia was relatively large, collected at 4 cents a jin. The whole fish weighed 27 jin 3, which could sell for 10.92 yuan. This fish could top that big yellow croaker.

It could only be said that the quality wasn't enough, and the quantity made up for it.

"I'll come over to settle the account in two days? No problem, right?"

He passed by the doors of every household and saw that some families weren't using long bamboo mats, but fish racks about 3 meters wide and 5 meters long. Neatly arranged fish were laid out on the racks: Spanish mackerel, leatherjacket, eel, mackerel, and most of all, toadfish...

"Tsk tsk tsk~ these abalones aren't small, Adong's luck is very good. Ever since your family caught a net of big yellow croaker, you've been lucky, as if you've been blessed by Mazu..."

"Who says not? Before, it was said that the feng shui of the new house was good, the foundation of the house was bought by someone, but the result was that changing the foundation didn't affect it..."
