Chapter 28: Caught a Tiger Grouper

~8 min read 1,494 words

"Yo, this fish is slippery!"

Ye Yaodong just poked it out, wanted to reach out and catch it, but it ran away again, and drilled back in.

This stone was too big, couldn't move it away, he could only continue to stir it with the fire tongs, let it run out again.

A-Guang squatted down, holding his bucket, aiming at the crack under the stone. "My bucket is empty anyway, borrow it first to catch this fish out."

Ye Yaodong looked at his empty bucket and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Everyone had a harvest, only his bucket was empty, nothing.

"Fine, pack it for me first!"

Azheng's eyes were smiling into a slit. "A-Guang must be depressed in his heart, but still has to force a smile, so pitiful! Good brother!"

"Sigh~"

"Hahaha~"

Listening to them continue to tease A-Guang, Ye Yaodong raised his mouth, stirred under the stone with the fire tongs for half a day, but found this tiger grouper hadn't run out for half a day. "You guys go to the other side and see, did it run to the other side?"

"Here! Here! Swam out here, give me the bucket!"

"Still quite big."

"Looks like it should be one or two jin."

"Dongzi really stepped on incredible luck!"

Hearing Xiao Xiao took the water bucket handed over by A-Guang, aimed at this tiger grouper and scooped it, directly scooping it into the bucket. "Done, caught it!"

Several heads stretched over, looking at the fish jumping around in the water bucket, faces full of envy.

Buy, everyone wasn't unable to afford it. Panning for seafood, what they wanted was the fun and satisfaction of catching seafood themselves, and this wasn't an ordinary fish, it was a tiger grouper. Everyone couldn't help but complain about Ye Yaodong in their hearts, stepped on dog shit luck.

"The seawater in this bucket is too little, draw a bit more, don't kill it."

A-Wei said, "I only have two jumping fish, pour them into your bucket, use it to draw water."

Hearing Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "Then I earned two fish!"

After drawing half a bucket of water, Hearing Xiao Xiao handed the bucket to Ye Yaodong. "Do you plan to keep it for yourself to eat, or take it to sell?"

"Sell! Definitely sell. If I take it to eat, I'll be scolded by my mother until my head bleeds, leg broken. Yesterday I caught two small green crabs and originally planned to keep them to eat, but was scolded by her, only after saying it was for the children to eat did her face look better, but still took them to sell."

This tiger grouper was much more valuable than the two small green crabs yesterday. If he stewed it, not to mention his mother scolding him, his wife would also be angry with him for a few days.

Taking it to sell for a few yuan for her was also good, saving her from not earning a yuan even after weaving nets for a day.

Although he didn't know how much family property his wife had saved up at present, he knew it definitely wasn't much.

"It should be taken to sell. People of the older generation are reluctant to eat and reluctant to wear. This jin is also one yuan and more, such a big one, can also sell for three yuan, worth 3-4 days of making nets, wasting it like this is too wasteful."

"That's right, worthless seafood can be taken to eat, this one should still be taken to sell!"

"While it's still alive, you take it to the pier acquisition point first, just take the opportunity to let us find if there are any big goods? Otherwise, the goods will all enter your bucket, I'll have to return empty-handed!"

Everyone said so, Ye Yaodong also nodded. "Fine, then you guys play here, I'll be back in a moment."

Azheng said mischievously, "No problem, you go for a while longer, it's fine if you don't come back, we have each other here, don't need you!"

He scolded with a smile, "Damn, jealous of my good luck, I'm not here, you guys definitely won't find good goods."

"Roll, roll, roll~"

He happily carried the bucket and walked toward the group of people digging sand clams. After finding Lin Xiuqing, he placed the water bucket in front of her. "I found a grouper, it's a tiger grouper, you take it to the acquisition point to sell."

"Ah? Tiger grouper!" Lin Xiuqing's eyes shone with surprise as she looked at the water bucket. "So big!"

"What tiger grouper? Third brother, you caught a tiger grouper?" Ye's mother also walked over in surprise.

"Tiger grouper?"

People around also gathered over after hearing it, talking all at once. "It really is a tiger grouper!"

"Where did you catch it? Luck is so good?"

"And a few stone crabs?"

"Oh, and blood clams..."

"Where did Dongzi find them? So many things, why haven't we seen them?"

"We go below the beach, only ever picked a few jumping fish and stone crabs, Adong's luck is not bad!"

Ye Yaodong didn't care about the surprise of the people around, only said to Lin Xiuqing, "You guys find a bucket to pack the fish, then take this tiger grouper to the acquisition point to sell. This bucket is A-Guang's, I have to take it back to him, and by the way, go turn around again, see if there's anything else to pick up."

"Fine, I'll pour the sand clams into Mother's bucket, you wait a moment." Lin Xiuqing smiled brightly and hurriedly and actively poured the bucket.

This tiger grouper, he estimated it could only sell for three yuan, so he was too lazy to go to the acquisition point. After pouring the fish into his wife's bucket, he took the empty bucket and his own bucket and continued to walk down to the beach.

"Wait a moment!"

Ye's mother stopped him. "Aren't there blood clams in your bucket? If there are many, just take them all out, let A-Qing take them to the acquisition point to sell, why keep them inside?"

"Ah? Blood clams also need to be sold?"

"Of course, valuable ones definitely need to be taken to sell," Ye's mother took his bucket and weighed it. "The size of these you picked is almost catching up to fish balls, looks like there's more than a jin, can also sell for one or two yuan, if you don't take them all to sell, do you expect to take them to eat?"

"Fine... then take them all to sell."

Lin Xiuqing actually wanted to say it just now, but was afraid he would be unhappy. After all, he had already contributed a tiger grouper. Now with Ye's mother's words, she happily wanted to dig.

"Be careful, the big pincers of those few stone crabs will pinch people, I'll do it."

Ye Yaodong stopped his wife from reaching out, went to the bucket himself to take out the few stone crabs first, stepped on them with his feet to prevent them from running around, and then took out the blood clams and threw them into the water bucket containing the tiger grouper.

"Is this okay now? Just a few worthless stone crabs and sword shrimp, and jumping fish, nine-section shrimp also only has one, can't sell for money."

Ye's mother nodded with satisfaction. "Your luck these two days is not bad, everyone goes to the beach to pan for seafood for years and might not encounter a tiger grouper once, you go turn around again, if there are good goods, take them over and let your wife go sell them."

"Where is it so easy to encounter, think it's Chinese cabbage? Only these two days have a tide, so there's something to pick up. Can pick up something, this is also luck, really think the whole beach is full of goods, pick it up whenever you want?" Seeing the women on the side were all moved, he hurriedly said.

Otherwise they wouldn't dig sand clams, all would go down to pan for seafood, he wouldn't have to go either.

Luck is really a bit good recently!

"I'm just saying, if I don't instruct you like this, you'll be able to waste it the moment you turn around!" Ye's mother glared at him irritably.

Who didn't know he was relying on luck, how many things could there be on their beach, could she not know?

"Didn't I send them over? Where was it wasted..."

"Go, go, go, go down and turn around again for me."

Hey, all handed over, his mother still had to nag. It was really not easy to change the family's view of him, but it didn't matter, according to his previous life living until 65 before dying, he still had several decades, accept it slowly, subtle influence is also good.
