Chapter 39: The icing on the cake

~7 min read 1,391 words

Ye Yaodong's mood was also very excited. He didn't expect that he just wanted to come out to overcome the aftereffects of his fear of seawater, but he could have such a harvest.

Was he really possessed by a koi?

He smiled and joked, "More than worshiped, I dedicated my whole person to Mazu, only then did I get this good luck."

A-Zheng glared, "Ah... damn it, so it required sacrifice. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved you just now. Could we have caught more?"

"Get lost. If you are sacrificed later, maybe we can catch more!"

"Hehe, when I go back, I will also go to the Mazu Temple to worship."

A-Guang interrupted their chatting, "Do you still want to cast the net? After such a long time, the fish that escaped the net are estimated to have swum far away. I don't know which direction they fled in all directions."

Ye Yaodong said: "Our oil should be enough, right? Let's cast one last net. That net just now also had ten-plus fish. Don't let the fish that escaped the net go. Continue to drive a few more laps around. Even if there are no mackerel, we can net some other seafood. We can also celebrate with a good drink tonight."

"The oil is still enough, then cast one last net. Drag it for a longer time. Even if there are no mackerel, we can catch some stone crabs, small yellow croaker, etc. Gather a few bowls for a drink. We don't need to go to the pier to buy seafood."

Apart from mackerel, the few nets they dragged also had scattered seafood, all of which were picked out and put into buckets.

For the last net, they didn't expect to catch much either. After the net was cast, they didn't care about it and walked directly to the boat cabin. Looking at the mackerel full of the boat cabin, everyone couldn't hide their excitement. They really got rich today!

Since discovering the mackerel, Ye Yaodong's attention had been on the mackerel. The boat sailed on the sea surface to cast the net to catch them. He didn't feel any panic or fear. Only at this moment did he react that he was meeting the difficulty head-on and had completely conquered it!

Great!

He touched his chin, "Should there be thousands of jin of fish full of our boat cabin?"

"Definitely. Look at how big the size of those fish is. They are almost half a meter long, and one is over four or five jin. We cast seven or eight nets, so we should have caught half."

"I just saw one in the live cabin that was almost a meter long. That one must be over eight jin."

"I also noticed that one. Damn, this trip was worth it!"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone was chatting excitedly, one after another. It had been too long since they had been so excited. Who wouldn't be happy to get rich?

A-Zheng kicked the bucket beside his feet, looking at the tools for going to the sea inside, and hurriedly asked: "Then are we still going to the sea later?"

"Go to the sea my foot. After this net is pulled up, let's hurry back. With a boat full of mackerel, we have to hurry and sell them for money! I don't believe you aren't anxious!" Actually being able to ask such a silly question, Ye Yaodong was also drunk.

"Of course I'm anxious. I was just asking casually. What if you guys feel that it's not easy to come out once, and want to go to the sea for a while?"

"Are you stupid? Of course, selling the fish for money is important. Go back and ask A-Guang to ask her little aunt to rent it for another day. We can go to the sea tomorrow just the same. Anyway, the tide is slowly rising. The reefs around tomorrow should still be exposed."

A-Guang echoed and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, let's rent the boat and go to the sea tomorrow, and incidentally bump into good luck."

"The boat is rented? Not borrowed? Why didn't you say so earlier." After talking for a long time, only Hearing Xiao Xiao noticed this matter.

"Hey, what's the problem with renting or borrowing? It's just a little money. It's the same whoever pays. And today we earned a lot. Why care about that little money." A-Guang said indifferently.

Ye Yaodong also showed a sincere smile, "Yes, it's just a little money. After selling these mackerel, sharing the money is the priority."

"Yes, yes, yes, after this net is pulled up, let's hurry back. I don't know how long we've been out."

While talking, they put on the clothes and pants they had taken off. Before, they only cared about the mackerel and didn't care about anything else.

The last net was dragged for a bit longer. In order not to waste it, A-Guang simply drove toward the pier and turned a lap in the middle sea area before pulling up the net.

Originally, everyone didn't have much hope for the last net of goods, but didn't expect that there would be a surprise!

A 5-6 jin large sea bass was exposed to everyone's vision when pulling up the net!

"Ah, sea bass, large sea bass..."

"Hey... actually there are big goods!"

"Icing on the cake, hahaha, we were about to pull up the net and dock, didn't expect to net a large sea bass!"

"Haha, there are also quite a few small fish and shrimp. We have side dishes for drinking!"

If they had caught this sea bass before encountering the mackerel school, everyone would definitely be very excited. But now that there was a pearl in front, this large sea bass could only make them happy for a moment, and couldn't be as excited as when catching the mackerel school.

After sorting the seafood, apart from that large sea bass, there were a few mackerel, and the rest were some less valuable small fish, shrimp, and crabs. They filled two large buckets. They couldn't sell for much money, but it was quite good to eat.

"Should we sell the sea bass too? This also needs several cents per jin..."

Hearing Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Ye Yaodong's mouth couldn't help but twitch. In his previous life, the acquisition price of sea bass was about 35-40 yuan per jin, and the selling price depended on the place. Some places doubled it. Now it's several cents per jin, and it's still called "several cents"...

Returning to '82 made him feel that the biggest contrast was this price. He always couldn't help but compare it with the 2022 of his previous life.

Every time he compared it, his heart would twitch. If he were given a golden finger, allowing him to travel between '82 and '22, that would be great.

That way, he could take the seafood caught in 1982 and sell it in 2022...

*Sigh*, what he thought was very beautiful, but he only had slightly better luck, and no golden finger.

Think about it, being able to come again was already the biggest bug. He should cherish it. It was also possible that good luck was his golden finger.

Otherwise, who would have this luck?

A-Guang? Hearing Xiao Xiao? A-Zheng? He didn't believe it. Who told him he was a reborn person? He believed more that luck was brought by him.

When his thoughts went astray, A-Zheng's voice pulled him back to his senses.

"Do you want to sell it? There is only one sea bass. Why not keep it and cook a sea bass clear soup tonight? Anyway, there are so many mackerel, it's not missing this one sea bass!"

"I think so too. Let's keep the sea bass. Why not keep a mackerel for braising? Or making mackerel dumplings is also not bad."

"Then keep it? With so many fish, it's not missing this one or two... I haven't eaten sea bass and mackerel dumplings for a long time..."

*Slurp~* Ye Yaodong seemed to hear the sound of everyone drooling. Sure enough, everyone was a bunch of spendthrifts.

Not thinking of selling them all for money, but wanting to intercept a few to eat themselves.

But... he thought so too... ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
