Chapter 642: I say town house is town house

~11 min read 2,076 words

After the fishing net was completely collected, the three avoided the tail and worked together to lift the fishing net and this super big black-backed ray onto the wooden table.

Ye Fu's mouth was about to close with a smile, "This didn't catch a whole net of devil fish, but it's a profit to catch such a big one."

"This one is so heavy, it must be over 100 jin. If you collect it for 2 cents a jin, it will be more than 20 yuan! Made a fortune, I have never seen such a big one for the first time..."

"Such a big one, who still takes it to acquire? Isn't this directly halved? Seafood is about a big word. The bigger it is, the more face it has to eat."

Ye Yaosheng looked at Ye Yaodong confusedly, what do you mean?

Ye Fu guessed his idea, "Are you going to send it to Hongsheng?"

"Definitely, sea chicken feet are only wanted by the young master there. Others don't know the goods. Anyway, I have to run a trip. I must send this black-backed ray there too."

"Such a big one, not to say no, but it is not common, right? Send it to see, sell it for two more yuan is two yuan, anyway, it is a trip on the way, don't pull it back to Ah Cai."

If you have money and don't earn it, you are a bastard!

Ye Fu nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, rich people want to eat something rare. Such a big squid was bought back last year. This one should be easy to sell. If you can sell a few more yuan, it is a few more yuan."

Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "I don't know if such a big squid is delicious, how to eat it, eighteen ways are enough to open 20 tables?"

It's a pity, I didn't have experience the first time I caught it. If I meet it next time, I will definitely cut off a tentacle and keep it for myself.

"You care how others eat? Take something to poke it and see if this fish is dead? These are all poisonous. Such a big one, I'm afraid that cutting the tail will not look good. What if it can't be sold for a price? I heard that some people are particular about completeness."

The tail sting part of the black-backed ray carries highly toxic poison, just like the dorsal spine of the stone fish. Once stabbed, it is painful, and it can cause shock or even death.

However, under normal circumstances, black-backed rays disdain to use poison, and only reluctantly release toxins when they are threatened with life. It is just so willful and kind.

Ye Yaosheng turned around and took a short stick, and pumped its tail a few times, but saw no movement, "It should be dead, it can be untied, and it is estimated that it can be used as a lid if it is lifted into the basket."

"I'll do it, I'm wearing gloves, it's better."

Ye Yaodong gestured with his hand, feeling that it was a whole circle bigger than the toilet lid. His dad and Brother Brother Asheng's metaphor had no problems. This occupied more than half of the table, and two sole fish were pressed underneath. Fortunately, it was a flat fish.

He skillfully untied the fishing net. He didn't care about other fish. He first dragged the black-backed ray out by the nostrils. Ye Fu and Ye Yaosheng also helped untie the fishing net from the black-backed ray on the side and helped support the body.

There was no space on the table, and they dragged it to the ground while untying it.

"It's really heavy..."

"Heavy is valuable, I'll go get a basket, and then get a broken cloth to cover it, don't be exposed to the sun, although it is winter, it won't work if it is exposed for a long time..."

"If you can catch good goods every day, why worry about not making money?"

"Then you go to worship Mazu more, burn incense..."

"Drag it into the cabin first..."

After being busy for a while, after they settled the black-backed ray, they continued to collect the net. The discussion in the words was all about the black-backed ray, and the excitement was beyond words.

Until the sun set, they collected all the sticky nets in the sea, and then started to lay the nets from the beginning, preparing to collect them tomorrow. It is rare to have a few days of good weather, so they have to seize the time to work.

After laying the nets and returning, after docking, there was only a little light left in the sky. The return trip had to be driven for nearly an hour.

However, they were not the only boat returning late. It had been too long since they went out to sea to work. Everyone was greedy for the dark and reluctant to close work early. There was no wind in the evening. Except for some small wooden boats full of docks, the big boats were still outside.

There were many people coming and going on the shore. Some were waiting for their families, some were helping to pick goods, and some had just returned from the shore.

They didn't rush to lift the small wooden boat and the black-backed ray off the boat, but first lifted the goods that should be weighed, and the goods that should be left to dry were also lifted onto the board cart. Finally, they lifted the black-backed ray.

At this time, two big boats also docked, one left and one right, directly opened on both sides of their boat. Their super big black-backed ray had not been lifted off the boat yet, and it had already attracted the attention of people on the fishing boats on both sides.

"Ah? Dongzi, my god, did you catch such a big devil fish?"

"So big! I have only heard of it, and it is the first time I have seen someone in our village catch it."

"Dad, how did you catch it? Did you stick it on the sticky net?"

"This is bigger than the pot of our earth stove..."

One of the two boats that just docked was Ye's eldest brother and second brother's. Today they took their wives to dig shellfish on the small island. They were also greedy for the dark and returned late, and just happened to dock together.

Ye Fu was full of smiles and said happily: "It was collected by the sticky net. I was also startled when I saw it. I didn't expect to be able to catch such a big one. This one is over a hundred jin."

"Dongzi's luck is really good, often can meet such big fish..."

"I collected it, it wasn't him today."

"Dad collected it? Really amazing..."

Ye Yaodong and Ye Yaosheng lifted the basket off the boat, while Ye Fu walked on the side and kept looking back to talk to the two brothers. Even a fool could hear the joy and pride in his tone.

People who hadn't left on the shore also saw it, and everyone whispered, saying that such a big devil fish was rare.

Ah Cai ran up happily to help lift, "This is a black-backed ray, this one is really big, rare, picked up a treasure. Yesterday, someone in the neighboring village said that someone caught a 40-50 jin devil fish by trawling. That one was big enough, but I didn't expect this one to be bigger. This is a whole circle bigger than a sieve..."

"Hey hey hey? Where are you lifting it to?"

"Lift it to the board cart!"

Ah Cai's happy expression froze instantly, "Don't you sell it? Such a big one, dozens of yuan, don't you sell it?"

"Not selling! Take it home to town house first."

Ah Cai: "???"

"Town house my ass? Hurry up and lift it in, I'll weigh it for you, I don't know how heavy this is..."

"That's fine..."

Ye Yaodong signaled Ye Yaosheng to lift it to the small shed first, weigh it once, and then lift it to the board cart.

Others were also curious about how many jin such a big black-backed ray could have, and followed.

Even Ye's eldest brother and second brother couldn't care about unloading, and gathered around to see how many jin this big one could have?

"Must be over 100 jin~"

"I also think it must be over 100 jin..."

"Must be bigger than the one dragged up in Gutao Village yesterday..."

"That's for sure, theirs is only how many jin, this one is obviously bigger..."

Everyone was guessing there, watching Ah Cai keep adding weights to the big scale.

"Oh, 108 jin, it really exceeded 100 jin, wait... wait... the basket has to be deducted by two jin... 106 jin..."

"That's also big..."

"How much can this one sell for?"

"20 something yuan..."

"That's not bad... worth two or three nets of goods..."

Ye Yaodong was also beautiful, and he hadn't caught such a big cargo for a long time.

"Thanks~"

"Thanks for what, I'll calculate it for you..."

"Hmm? No need to calculate, I'm going to lift it back."

Ah Cai was shocked, "Are you really going to lift it back to town house? Use it as a mascot?"

"Don't you think this little appearance is very domineering?"

Ah Cai: "?"

Everyone: "?"

Ye Yaosheng: "Little?"

Ye Fu: Just convinced by his mouth.

Ye Yaodong didn't care what everyone thought, he said whatever he wanted.

After speaking, he waved his hand to signal Ye Yaosheng to lift the basket together and lift it onto the board cart.

Ah Cai watched the big fish pass by like this, cursing in his heart, really cunning! Keep the good ones, and give him the ones you don't want!

The crowd was also whispering, saying that he actually didn't sell it, and lifted it away?

"Took the wrong medicine?"

"Really lifted it back to town house?"

"Nervous... obviously want to lift it somewhere to sell it more expensive?"

"Ah yes, he has a shop in the city..."

"People compare to people, people die... actually watching him shake up like this..."

"Yes... heard there are two shops..."

"How long has it been, actually have everything..."

Everyone whispered, without affecting Ye Yaodong at all. If you are not envied, you are mediocre.

The board cart was already full, and there were two baskets on the ground that couldn't be lifted. Ye Yaodong let his dad and Brother Brother Asheng push a car home to unload first, and he waited here first.

Ah Cai thought about it and came over again, "Are you really planning to send it to the city yourself? Isn't it selling dried fish? Suddenly got a fresh one..."

"Doesn't affect..."

"You don't have ice... although the weather is cold..."

"Ah yes, you have to spread a layer of ice, and then cover it with cloth to keep it fresh, so it is safer. Give me a bucket of ice later, thank you."

Ye Yaodong shouted to his second brother to borrow an empty bucket. He didn't use the bucket just now, hung it directly on the board cart, and let his dad pull it back.

Ah Cai glared at him, didn't earn money, and had to stick a bucket of ice?

Talkative!

"What are you glaring at? I just sold you several baskets of goods, hurry up and get busy, my eldest brother and second brother's fish have been lifted in, I will load the ice myself later, I am familiar with the road, don't need you."

Saying that, he waved at him and let him get busy.

Ah Cai was helpless.

At this time, people in the small shed were also calling him to weigh the goods, so he had to shake his head and turn to walk inside.

If you don't sell, don't sell!

And Ye Yaodong was bored waiting, pulled out a cigarette, smoked and thought, it is already dark, it is too late to go to the town, so he can only wait until tomorrow to go.

Then tomorrow he has to call one more person to go out to sea with his dad and Brother Brother Asheng.

Let his dad call one himself when he goes back later.
