Chapter 71: Red Grouper

Ye Fu was also pleasantly surprised, "There's still red grouper?? Didn't expect there's still red grouper running here?"

Ye Yaodong picked out this fish and held it in his hand to look at it back and forth, happily saying: "Can, can, thought this net didn't have any good things, didn't expect there's still red grouper! Perfect finish!"

"Let me take a careful look!" Ye Fu was also a bit impatient.

"Winter has pufferfish, summer has red grouper. This one is two jin, should be almost 3 jin, should be able to sell for a good price."

He remembered, before rebirth, farmed red grouper was already two or three hundred a jin, wild ones were all 800 plus!

"Mm, this is much bigger than the sea bass you caught during the typhoon."

"Just say my luck is good, tsk tsk tsk~ big red grouper!"

"Put it separately, don't damage it, if the appearance is not good, it will be greatly discounted." Ye Fu carefully took a small basket to pack it.

"Today's harvest is the day with the most harvest in so many days of trawling, except for the large yellow croaker, it can sell for over a hundred yuan."

Ye Fu squinted at Ye Yaodong, who was beaming with joy, "Mm, your luck is indeed not bad, then don't come for the eldest and second in the future, just stay at home and help build the house, you come out with me every day."

"Ah?" His smile stagnated for a moment, wanting to protest, but thinking that going out to sea, besides having to get up early, eating badly and sleeping badly, seemed to be easier than doing physical labor, picking stones, and moving stones, the stagnant smile suddenly hung on his cheeks again.

"Sure."

"Thinking beautifully, hurry up and work."

"Then you still said..."

Ye Fu ignored him, fiddled with the goods of the last net, and had a count in his heart, "Except for that big red grouper, the harvest of this net is also okay. You sort the things, tie the crab legs, pick out the thin and small ones, I'll drive the boat back, the sun is west-slanted, go back early, otherwise the tide is too shallow, the boat is not easy to dock."

"Oh."

Ye Yaodong had no opinion. Drifting from 2 o'clock at night until now, he was also a bit tired, going back early was also good.

He sorted the various seafood and put them in baskets, and then sat leisurely and tied the crab legs.

There weren't many crabs today. By the time he finished tying, the boat wasn't far from the pier. On the sea, he could also see several returning fishing boats.

They were all from their village, and everyone was very familiar. Seeing them, they couldn't help but say hello and ask about the harvest.

"Eh? Ye Laosan, why did you bring Dongzi out today?" The one speaking was his father's friend, Lin Jingye, Lin Shu.

"The three brothers have to take turns working, right? If I don't bring him to work, he'll be wasted to what extent? In the future, he won't even be able to support his wife and children."

Do it, have to scold! Don't do it, also have to scold!

This is his own father, only his own father would scold him out of hatred for not being promising.

Hey, since rebirth, besides gathering with friends, haven't I been working properly?

Ye Yaodong said helplessly: "Dad, haven't I been performing quite well and quite diligently recently? Can't you say something good?"

Lin Shu also said happily: "Right, Dongzi has been quite diligent recently, quite promising, heard he caught a lot of big goods, we have been fishing for a lifetime, and haven't caught any rare fish goods."

"Sigh, that's all luck, who can have luck for a lifetime? We rural people should be diligent, who can guarantee that they can return with a full load every day? There are many things at sea that can't be said, and the risk is higher than on land."

"It is precisely because the risk is high that luck is important, otherwise, it's the same going out to sea, some people have low harvest, some people have high harvest, some people might even lose their lives at sea."

This is indeed true, Ye Fu couldn't refute, Ye Yaodong also very much agreed and said: "Lin Shu is so right, luck is too important for us people who work on the sea!"

"Right, so how much goods did you pull today?"

This question hit Ye Fu's heart, he smiled and said: "Dragged three nets of skate, one net of Japanese horse mackerel, one net of shrimp and crabs..."

Before Ye Fu finished speaking, Lin Shu said in surprise: "Harvest is so big? And three nets of skate? Adding up to over a hundred jin? Tsk tsk tsk... and Japanese horse mackerel and shrimp and crabs, today's harvest is not small, you guys."

"More than that, just skate we caught three or four hundred jin, we also caught a big red grouper that is almost 3 jin!"

"What? Red seal?"

"It's red spot! What's so rare about a red seal, is it worth bringing up?"

"Ah, red grouper? And 3 jin? Take it out and let me see? Really caught red grouper? What kind of luck does your family have recently, how come all good things are run into by you?"

Lin Shu stretched his neck, only to see Ye Yaodong take a big red fish with stripes and spots out of the foam box, he widened his eyes.

"Heaven, it really is big red grouper, your family's feng shui is a bit good recently! Could it really be the reason for the feng shui of your new house?"

"Really hard to say, possibly." Ye Fu also heard people say yesterday that the feng shui of their new house was good.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ made a fortune again today, skate alone is three or four hundred jin, can sell for sixty or seventy, right? This red grouper is worth at least ten or twenty yuan, right? And other seafood..."

"What red grouper?"

When the two drove the boat to dock, the sound of talking also attracted the attention of villagers on boats nearby, because the sound of the boat machine was loud, they had to shout to talk, and this immediately poked a hornet's nest, everyone asked what red grouper?

Ye Yaodong had already put the fish back into the foam box, not wanting to take it in and out, "You'll know when we unload the goods in a while."

He didn't take it out, naturally Lin Shu, who saw the goods, helped them blow it. Everyone was even more curious, what kind of dog shit luck did Ye Laosan's family have recently?

With this episode, when they unloaded the goods, there were many more people watching at the pier.

Waiting for them to lift the skate off the boat, everyone still didn't think much of it, until they lifted several baskets in a row, everyone was surprised!

"Ye Laosan, did you explode the net?"

"These skates are not few! How many jin?"

"Heard there's a red grouper that's almost 3 jin!"

"Really or fake?"

"Ah, it really is red grouper!"

Seeing the basket containing red grouper placed on top of the basket containing miscellaneous fish, everyone gathered around and discussed how much this fish was worth.

"Everyone let go first, let us take the goods to weigh first, after weighing we will know how much money." Ye Mu was full of smiles, very happy, she also didn't expect the harvest today to be so big.

A-Cai saw the red grouper, and his face also bloomed with joy. Recently, several rare fish came out, and the youngest son of the boss of Hongsheng Hotel in town remembered him and told him to send any good goods to him.

Hongsheng was the biggest hotel in their town, and there was also a karaoke hall inside. Rich people played very wildly inside. In this era, the crackdown on prostitution here wasn't tight, and there were many rich people and officials from surrounding towns and cities who liked to play there.

He smiled and said: "This red grouper is good stuff, weigh this first!"

Ye Yaodong handed a cigarette over, "Say the price per jin first, Brother Cai!"
