Chapter 38 There is nothing to be picky about when you are poor
Zhao Dahai walked into the yard sweating profusely. The sun was hanging in the middle of the sky and it was very hot. He sold the jumping fish and bought vegetables and hurried back immediately.
"Grandma."
"The price of jumping fish is good."
"Sold for more than 1,300 yuan."
Zhao Dahai poured a bowl of water and walked into the main room to tell Zhong Cuihua how much money he made while drinking.
“Yo!”
“This is really good.”
“Why did you sell it for so much money?!”
Zhong Cuihua was very surprised , when did Digging Fish become so valuable?
"Grandma."
"I was wondering if I should continue to catch something."
Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua the whole story. Catching jumping fish is really hard, but the price is really good.
Zhong Cuihua shook her head. There were indeed a lot of jumping fish on the mudflat in front of the mangrove forest in the village. I caught them hard for a few days. It’s hard to say how many are left. One thing is for sure. This fish is not a fool. If it is frightened, it must not be that easy to catch. , the key is that it is impossible to maintain this price.
Zhao Dahai scratched the back of his head. That was indeed what happened. He had been driving on that mudflat for several days and had caught all the jumping fish that were easy to catch. The remaining ones were not easy to deal with. Liu Gang I'm not a fool. I happened to sell it at a high price today. It will definitely not be such a good thing next time. After thinking about it this way, it is not particularly cost-effective to continue catching jumping fish.
"Grandma."
"What you said makes sense."
"Think about something else first. There is really no way to catch the jumping fish again."
" Anyway, the jumping fish is there and can’t fly to the sky.”
Zhao Dahai is not worried at all that people in the village will know that he has made money by catching the jumping fish. This work is too hard and he doesn’t have a fishing boat. You can only do this kind of thing if you go to sea, and few others are willing to do it.
Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua that he planned to buy a second-hand motorcycle, or at least a bicycle, to save time when going to the town to sell fish or buy things. Now he only relies on two legs, and it takes four hours to go back and forth, which is too delayed. For many things, it is true that you have to save money to repair a fishing boat, but it is more cost-effective to buy a motorcycle or a bicycle instead of rushing back and forth to sell fish and earn more money.
“Hehehe!”
“The sea.”
“You make the decision on these things.”
“You are the one in charge. No need to do anything. Tell me all.”
Zhong Cuihua shook her head.
"One old man in the family is like a treasure. We must discuss everything!"
Zhao Dahai saw that it was almost time and went to the kitchen to start cooking lunch. Digging Fish was not willing to eat it, so he took everything I went to sell it, fried two salted fish, stir-fried a plate of vegetables I just bought, peeled two sweet potatoes, put them in the rice and cooked them together. This was the meal for lunch.
After Zhao Dahai finished his lunch, he couldn't help but tell his grandma Zhong Cuihua to go back to the room to sleep, and took the net to weave the fishing net by herself. She didn't stop changing hands until Cuihua woke up at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Dahai walked out of the yard and walked towards the small pier. He walked around a few times to see if he could figure out what to do next to make some money. As soon as he walked there, Zhong Shizhu shouted at him from a distance. He said something and waved, and walked over immediately.
"Are there any fish lately?!"
Zhao Dahai boarded Zhong Shizhu's fishing boat.
“Where did the fish come from?!”
“They are all small fish.”
“You can always catch three to five kilograms or ten to eight kilograms. ”
"It's no problem to make some money to support the family, but it's difficult to get rich."
"Didn't you catch jumping fish a few days ago?!" "Did you sell it? !”
Zhong Shizhu sighed, catching a few fish these days.
Zhao Dahai nodded and sold more than a dozen kilograms of jumping fish for more than a thousand yuan.
Zhong Shizhu did not expect that Zhao Dahai caught so many jumping fish. I made more than a thousand yuan in three days, which was much more than I earned. I was just thinking about catching jumping fish, but I gave up immediately. This job was really too tiring.
“Hehehe!”
“What kind of jumping fish can be caught by a fishing boat?!”
Zhao Dahai smiled, he had no choice but to have a fishing boat. Definitely not catching jumping fish.
“The sea.”
"How about going out to sea on my fishing boat?! In the next one or two months, I will only fish without casting the net. How many people can the fishing boat hold?"
Zhong Shizhu patted the side of his fishing boat and recently cast the net. I couldn't catch any fish, so I planned to try fishing on the reef. If you cast a net in a place like this, it will be hung up. The fish caught are not worth the loss of the fishing net. I originally wanted to say that I would have to go out to sea every day for free. , there are many people but not one person, it doesn’t cost much gas, but the words come to the mouth and swallowed back
“Hahaha!”
“Forget it, forget it.”
"See what you can catch around the dock."
Zhao Dahai shook his head. Zhong Shizhu didn't say whether he wanted money, but it was impossible for him not to give it. No one's fishing boat just falls from the sky. The diesel engine drinks oil instead of sea water, so you have to pay for it. You definitely have to pay to go out to sea on Zhongshizhu's fishing boat. The market price is at least 150 yuan a day, or even 200 yuan. Even though this is a village, the money has to be given. If you don't give it, you will owe a favor. If you owe a favor, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. There is no fishing boat. When you go overseas, it’s harder and harder to make money, so you just have to endure it.
Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu were talking without a word, looking left and right from time to time. Their minds kept thinking about how to make money next. They accidentally lowered their heads and saw a dark red stripe in the corner of the fishing boat's live cabin. Small fish swim around.
“What kind of fish is this?!”
“Why don’t you sell it?!”
Zhao Dahai is a little strange, the water surface is a little reflective and it’s hard to see clearly What kind of fish is it?
Zhong Shizhu reached out to catch the fish and threw it on the deck.
Zhao Dahai now clearly saw that it was Shi Jiugong. In some places, it is called tiger fish. This kind of fish is often found on the reefs. There are very many of them. It is not a valuable fish, especially the one in front of him. It's not much bigger than a thumb, and it's worthless. No wonder it's thrown into the living cabin and not sold.
Shi Jiugong? !
That’s right!
Why didn’t you think of this?
Zhao Dahai patted his forehead hard.
Other fish can’t get out of the sea without fishing boats, but the Nineteenth Gong is no problem.
“You don’t want to catch Shi Jiu Gong, do you?!”
Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai and stared at the Nineteenth Gong jumping up and down on the deck.
Zhao Dahai nodded. He indeed planned to catch the Nineteen Gong. There would be fish wherever there were rocks. There was no need for a fishing boat to go out to sea.
"Hey!"
"At the east end of the village, where you fish for crab and tiger fish, there are a lot of these things. But they are relatively small."
"It's not worth much."< br>
Zhong Shizhu pointed to the reef area at the east end of the village. There were not only Shi Jiugong there, but also a lot of them, but they were small.
Zhao Dahai smiled. Shi Jiugong is indeed worthless, but no matter how worthless it is, it is still money. Who can catch small fish if he can catch big fish? When people are poor, there is nothing to be picky about.
Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu chatted for a while, then left the dock and hurried home, having to make some preparations.
Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai's leaving figure and curled his lips. Shi Jiugong? They were just kids fishing for fun, serious people who went out to sea to fish, and no one took a fancy to them. They thought they could make money fishing for this thing.
