Chapter 290 Favors: You can’t just ignore them if they are close relatives
“One hundred yuan a pound!”
…
“One hundred and five pounds a pound!”
……
"One hundred and eleven yuan per catty!"
......
"One hundred and eleven yuan per catty!"
......
Zhao Dahai stood on the pier, listening to the fishmongers collecting fish, shrimps and crabs rushing to bargain with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.
Small fish, shrimps and crabs are really not very valuable, but really good things, such as orchid crabs or other large fish, everyone likes them very much and rush to get them.
“What the heck!”
“Zhong Shizhu and these guys are really lucky!”
“We all go out to sea to fish, why are they? How many people go out to sea to catch orchid crabs?”
……
"What kind of bad luck is this?"
"Zhao Dahai told them that there were no fish in the sea, so they went out to catch orchid crabs!"
"This is not their ability! ”
……
“Hey! ”
"Zhao Dahai is really amazing. He really made it right!"
...
"Those of us who have been fishing for 20 or 30 years can't compare to him." Zhao Dahai, a young man in his early twenties!”
“It’s really embarrassing!”
……
Zhao Dahai did not board the fishing boat of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. The fishmongers were crowded. After waiting for a while, several other fishing boats returned to the dock. The fish they caught were no different from the fishing boats that had returned to the dock before. There were indeed some. There were fish, but not many, they were all small and not very valuable.
“Hurry home!”
……
“Take the fishing net and go to sea to catch orchid crabs!”
……
"Let's go!"
"Don't stay here!"
...
People on the surrounding fishing boats all hurried onto the dock and left immediately to go Rush at home.
You have stayed up all night, do you need to go back to bed and rest for a while? ?
People who don't make money don't have the right to sleep and rest.
No one can bear it after a hard night without making any money and even having to pay for gas. Seeing Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou catching a large number of orchid crabs, it is even more impossible to go back to sleep.
Go to sea!
Go to sea immediately!
Go to sea to catch orchid crabs before others do.
Zhao Dahai looked at how high the sun was rising and how hot it was getting on the pier. He rode a tricycle home and walked into the yard. He looked around and saw that his grandma Zhong Cuihua was weaving a fishing net in the main room. He pulled up a stool and sat down to chat with her for a while. .
Zhao Dahai walked out of the yard and took a walk in the vegetable garden behind the house. After opening the vegetable garden, he could not finish all the vegetables in the house. The longan and lychee grew very well, and he planted them specially for his grandma Zhong Cuihua. The banana is taller than me. I don’t know if it will bear fruit next year, but it will definitely grow the year after.
Zhao Dahai pulled some old vegetables from the vegetable field and threw them into the chicken pen. The chicks brought by the little hen had grown to be as big as a small football.
“Hehehehehe!”
“If this continues, we will have to expand the scale a bit!”
Zhao Dahai looked at dozens of large and small hens, roosters and chicks, and it seemed a little cramped.
You have to sell some, right?
Zhao Dahai thought about it for a while. The chicken pen is already big enough. If it continues to be raised, it is not necessary. It is just too much.
Zhao Dahai didn’t intend to talk about this. These chickens were all raised by his grandma Zhong Cuihua. If she wants to sell them, then buy them. If she wants to raise more, then raise more. If she wants to keep them, If you eat it at home, keep it for yourself.
Expanding the chicken coop is just a matter of getting some bamboo or something. When you are not at sea, it can be done in half a day, and it doesn't take much effort.
"The sea!"
Zhao Dahai heard someone shouting to him. When he walked to the door of his home, he saw that Zhong Shizhu was holding a mesh bag containing orchid crabs.
"The sea!"
"Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and I saved some orchid crabs."
"Bring them over for you and my aunt to try."
Zhong Shizhu said as he picked up the mesh bag in his hand.
“Yo!”
“What are you doing?”
“You’re welcome!”
“Who in our fishing village has never eaten Orchid crab?”
"It's only real if you sell it for money!"
Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head.
"Ha!"
"How polite is this?"
"I'll go back to have a meal, take a shower, and then go to sea again right away!"
Zhong Shizhu put down the mesh bag he was carrying, turned around and left in a hurry.
Zhao Dahai was no longer polite, but from his own point of view, these orchid crabs are not very necessary, but Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were able to catch so many orchid crabs in this trip and earn a lot of money. I spent a lot of money, but thanks to my own reminder, I brought orchid crabs to express my gratitude, but I couldn't get any money.
Zhao Dahai walked into the yard carrying a mesh bag containing orchid crabs, took a large iron basin, and poured them all out. There were not too many, maybe seventeen or eight, but they were all seven or eight taels. Even a large orchid crab weighing more than a pound weighs fifteen or six pounds.
“Where did the orchid crabs come from?”
Zhong Cuihua walked out and saw big orchid crabs one after another in the iron basin.
Zhao Dahai said that this was sent by Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, and then explained the ins and outs of the whole thing.
“Grandma!”
“The size of this orchid crab is really good, we’ll eat it for lunch while it’s fresh!”
“I’ll give some to Grandpa Zhao Shi Send them over, we can't eat so much!"
Zhao Dahai took a bag, picked the largest one and took six, and carried it out to Zhao Shi's house.
"Yo!"
"Such a big orchid crab!"
"You went out to sea to catch it, right?"
Huang Jintao looked at the orchid crab, a little bit Surprised, Zhao Dahai only went fishing at sea and had never heard of fishing at sea. Yesterday, he and Zhao Shi went fishing at sea.
"Did Zhong Shizhu and the others return to the dock? Did they really catch crabs?"
Zhao Shi heard the sound in the house and walked out while smoking his hookah. When he saw the orchid crab, he immediately remembered that Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu had said that there were no fish in the sea, but there might be shrimps and crabs.
Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu that the fishing boat came back and caught a lot of orchid crabs. He took fifteen or six kilograms of them to his home, brought some over here to try something new, chatted for a few words, and then went home.
“What’s going on?”
“Zhong Shizhu and the others went out to sea to catch crabs. What does this have to do with Zhao Dahai?”
Golden Peach is a bit strange. , fifteen or six pounds of orchid crab, two thousand yuan, is not a small sum.
Zhao Shi told the whole story.
“Huh?”
“The sea is so powerful!?”
Golden Tao was startled.
“The sea’s brain is really good, so many people who go fishing at sea have never thought of this.”
Zhao Shi nodded.
Who said fishing overseas is not profitable? It's just that those who keep their heads down and don't think about it can't make money.
Zhao Dahai is not like others, who spends his whole day wondering where there are fish and the conditions of the fish in the sea. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou listened to Zhao Dahai's words and made a lot of money.
“Huh?”
“Why doesn’t the sea go out to catch crabs on its own?”
"This kid knows that there are crabs in the sea, but he doesn't catch them and tell others."
"How can he do such a thing? Even if he tells Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da that there are a few of them, he will always go to the sea. Right? It has to be mixed in, right?”
Golden Peach is a little anxious. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou make money, not Zhao Dahai.
“Hahaha!”
“What are you so anxious about? Why do you have to be a crab fisherman? It’s true that you can make money and a lot of money, but you can’t compare to Zhao Dahai Did you go fishing by yourself? ”
Zhao Shi smiled and shook his head.
Zhao Dahai’s fishing skills are really no joke, he went out to sea by himself yesterday. There are many speedboats around, but few can actually catch fish.
Zhao Dahai drove a speedboat and just took a walk. He and he caught two horsetail fish. Not to mention his own one. When he came back, he weighed it twenty-nine pounds and one tael. The one Dahai caught weighed eight pounds and seven taels, and together with some other sea bass, he made a small profit of less than ten thousand.
The orchid crabs caught by Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are indeed profitable, but they take a lot of time. If they go fishing at sea during these times, they will make more money. Zhao Dahai clearly calculates this account.
“Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou caught the yellow crab and the news spread when they returned to the dock. Then an unknown number of fishing boats all swarmed up and caught the orchid crab.”
"This is a one-shot deal!"
" Dahai is great at fishing, and it keeps getting better. You have to specialize in any line of work, and only then can you do well. Dahai understands this in his heart. Here!”
Zhao Shi took a sip of water pipe.
“Yo!”
“Okay, okay!”
"Why don't you just say it's reasonable?!"
"What to do with these orchid crabs?"
Huanghuang Tao pointed to the orchid crabs in the bag.
“What else can we do? Does this need to be said?”
“Cook it and eat it!”
"I have to drink two taels of wine at noon!"
Zhao Shi decided to eat it at noon. The big orchid crab was very delicious, especially the one that had just landed.
Zhao Dahai returned home and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock at noon. Grandma Zhong Cuihua had already put in the rice and cooked the rice. She took a basket and put the remaining orchids and crabs in it. She rinsed it briefly with the faucet. Wash the big iron pot and dry it, add a little oil, and when the smoke comes out, the orchid crabs are placed in the pot upside down one after another. The lid is closed, and the fire is raging. It takes less than two minutes. Time, the unique fresh and sweet taste of orchid crab suddenly filled the entire kitchen.
Zhao Dahai couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Fresh orchid crabs, especially those that are seven to eight or even a pound in size, don’t taste very good.
Zhao Dahai waited for another two or three minutes. When he opened the lid, a burst of steam rushed up, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
There are many ways to cook orchid crab. The common one is steaming, and the other is stir-frying.
What Zhao Dahai did today is not a pure steamer. Oil is put in it, but no water is put in. The oil temperature is very high, and the crab itself has a certain amount of moisture. When it is cooked like this, it has the aroma of oil, and It has the sweetness of orchid crab itself.
Zhao Dahai took a clean basket, took it out one by one regardless of the heat, and walked directly into the main room with the basket.
“Grandma!”
"Come!"
"Hurry! Hurry!"
The basket of orchid crabs held in Zhao Dahai's hand was placed directly on the ground at Zhong Cuihua's feet, and he picked it up A steaming orchid crab opened its shell and handed it to grandma Zhong Cuihua.
“Yo!”
“So fat?”
Zhong Cuihua took it and saw that the freshly cooked orchid crab was very fat, already a little tall, and very full of meat.
“Ha!”
“The orchid crabs this season are quite good!” “It tastes great!”
Zhao Dahai can’t wait I picked up another orchid crab. There was a lump of white crab oil on the outside of the shell. I immediately put it in my mouth and swallowed it in one bite. Then I peeled the shell and ate the meat.
"It's delicious!"
"It's so delicious!"
Zhao Dahai kept nodding his head while eating. The taste of fresh orchid crab is really amazing.
“Hey!”
“Can an orchid crab cost a hundred yuan not be delicious?”
Zhong Cuihua looked at the orchid crab in her hand and felt a little reluctant to part with it.
“Ha!”
“What are you thinking about after you’ve cooked it? No one wants it for sale now!”
“It’s not like we eat it every time!”
Zhao Dahai smiled. Grandma Zhong Cuihua has been diligent and thrifty all her life. Now I am making money and a lot of it, but it is difficult to change the habits that are engraved in my bones.
"Okay!"
"What you said makes sense!"
"Eat!"
Zhong Cuihua looked at the cooked orchid crabs in the basket. Now It really can't be sold, it can only be eaten.
Zhao Dahai ate three orchid crabs in a row. They were really delicious. He went to the kitchen and packed two bowls of rice, fried another green vegetable, and started eating lunch seriously.
3pm.
The sea is wide open, the sun above our heads is very strong, and the blue water is as transparent as glass.
Zhong Shizhu stood in the cabin and looked around.
“Hey!”
“Why are there so many fishing boats!”
Zhong Shizhu sighed and returned to the dock in the morning. He sold the orchid crabs and ate something casually. He didn't even bother to take a shower. He immediately continued to go to sea and arrived at the place where he caught orchid crabs yesterday. Good guy, everything was there. There are fishing boats one after another, all setting nets to catch orchid crabs.
Zhong Shizhu had known that this would definitely happen, but seeing so many fishing boats crowded here gave him a headache.
“Ha!”
“Zhong Shizhu!”
“You, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin have already made a lot of money, is it possible that you still want to Are you the only ones fishing here next?”
Zhong Shizhu turned around and saw a familiar man from the next village smoking a cigarette and talking loudly to him.
“Ha!”
“That’s right.”
Zhong Shizhu laughed. He definitely hoped that no one else would come here to catch crabs, only himself, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, but this is impossible. Anyone who goes fishing knows where to catch orchid crabs in this nearby area. There must be a lot of people here.
“Like it?”
"Are you going to release the net?"
Lei Dayou looked at the fishing boats around him, and then at the buoys of fishing nets set down by others floating on the sea.
“Forget it!”
“There are too many crab nets here!”
“Where can I find a place to put them down? Even if they are really How many orchid crabs can I catch if I forcefully find a place to put them down? It’s only twenty or thirty pounds.”
Liu Bin shook his head.
"Ha!"
"Liu Bin."
"When did you have such high demands? Isn't twenty or thirty pounds of orchid crabs not enough for you to make money!"
Zhong Shizhu looked at Liu Bin.
Liu Bin was stunned for a moment. Twenty or thirty kilograms of orchid crabs, especially the ones he and Zhong Shizhu Lei Dayou caught yesterday, can be sold for at least three hundred yuan. The fishing boats owned by the few of us are not big, and they will not travel very far. The harvest is already good, and we can earn one or two hundred yuan after the cost.
"Who told us to catch so many orchid crabs last night!?"
"More than five hundred kilograms!"
"Total one thousand six hundred How many kilograms, on average, each person has caught more than five hundred kilograms!”
“How can we look at these twenty or thirty kilograms now?”
Lei Dayou smiled, not to mention Liu Bin, he didn't want to release the fishing net.
“Ha!”
“Okay!”
“Then just don’t let it go!”
Zhong Shizhu thought for a while and nodded. There are too many fishing nets here. If you put them down, you won't be able to catch many orchid crabs. Secondly, they will easily get tangled with other fishermen's nets.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da discussed setting up the net in another place so that they could catch whatever they could and pull them down if they couldn't catch them.
Zhao Dahai woke up and looked at the time. It was already four o'clock. He remembered the horsetail fish and several sea bass he and his second grandfather Zhao Shi had caught yesterday. From tomorrow onwards, he would continue to go out to sea. It was just right now. I had time and there were not many fish, so I packed up and rode a tricycle to the town and went directly to Liu Gang's restaurant.
Liu Gang was preparing dinner business in the restaurant when he saw Zhao Dahai walking out quickly through the glass.
“Yo!”
“This horse friend fish is really big!”
Liu Bin saw two horsetail fish in the refrigerator, one was small, but the big one was really big.
Zhao Dahai said that he went out to sea for a walk yesterday. He didn’t think about fishing. He just walked around with Zhao Shi and tried a few poles. He only caught these few fish. He will go to sea tomorrow. Today Send it over when you have time.
“This big one was caught by my second grandfather Zhao Shi. It’s amazing that a seventy-year-old man can catch such a fish.”
Zhao Dahai patted the inside of the refrigerator. of giant horsetail fish.
“Yo!”
"This is really incredible. I heard that this fish is very powerful!"
Liu Gang was shocked. This is really incredible, not to mention catching such a fish. It is not easy to lift this fish by yourself.
"The big one costs 300 yuan per catty. The small one costs 180 yuan per catty."
"Sea bass costs 30 yuan per catty."
Liu Gang opened the price.
Zhao Dahai nodded, the price is good, especially the price of horse fish is quite good, sea bass is really worthless now.
“The big one is twenty-nine pounds and one tael, eight thousand seven hundred and thirty yuan, the small one is eight pounds and seven taels, one thousand five hundred and sixty-six yuan, and the sea bass is nineteen pounds and eight taels. , five hundred and ninety-six yuan. A total of ten thousand eight hundred and ninety-two yuan."
Liu Gang finished the calculation and handed the money to Zhao Dahai.
Zhao Dahai talked to Liu Gang and installed a phone himself and asked for a number so that he could contact him if anything happened next time.
Liu Gang was very happy. In this way, he could call Zhao Dahai from time to time and ask if he had caught anything good. If so, he would rush over immediately.
"Boss Liu."
"The fishing moratorium is over. Have the prices of fish dropped?"
Zhao Dahai directly told Liu Gang that this matter is very important.
Liu Gang nodded. Common fish all fell to varying degrees. High-end fish, especially groupers, did not fall or even rose.
Zhao Dahai frowned. This is not a good thing, but there is no way. The market is like this. After chatting for a few words, he left the restaurant and bought some things in the town. When he returned to Lengzi, he did not immediately Go home and arrive at Zhao Shi's home.
"Hmph!"
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Shi looked at the money Zhao Dahai took out, and his face darkened.
“Second Grandpa.”
“Let’s not talk about the rules of going to sea!”
"I know you don't want the money, and you are taking great care of me as a junior."
"I went to get the money for the groupers I caught with you on my last trip to the sea. "
"But you have to accept the money from this trip."
"I didn't make any money before, so I accepted it shamelessly. Now I make money and I make so much money. It’s hard for me to hold money like this.”
“Second Grandpa”
"This is the money we earned from the fish we caught when we went out to sea together."
"What's wrong with sharing a sum and having fun?"
"We'll have another day. Let’s go out to sea together when we have time, catch more fish, and make some money.”
Zhao Dahai already knew that Zhao Shi was unwilling to accept money, but he had to keep the money for this trip.
“Okay, okay!”
"What are you two so polite about?"
"The kid Dahai is right. You have made money, share it, and everyone will be happy."
Huang Huangtao saw that Zhao Shi still wanted to refuse, so she immediately said, "We are all a family, and it would not be a good thing if we had to forcefully refuse."
“Second Grandma.”
“You are still sensible!”
"Ha!"
"I bought you mung bean cake from the town. It's just baked. It's absolutely delicious."
Zhao Dahai opened the bag of mung bean cake and took out a piece, broke it open and handed it to Gave golden peach.
“Hey!”
“I just like to eat this thing.”
Huang Jintao was very happy. As he got older and had more money and less money, he had already given up on it. Zhao Dahai was able to remember what he liked to eat, so he was very happy to buy some.
Zhao Dahai chatted with Huang Jintao for a while, and saw that it was almost time to stand up and leave during dinner.
“Hmph!”
“Why did you collect money from Dahai just now? What do we need the money for?”
Zhao Shi looked at Zhao Dahai When he left, his face suddenly dropped.
"Hey!"
"Why are you so stubborn, old man? I know you think it's not easy for Zhao Dahai to make money, and you want him to make more money."
"However, You have to think about it, Zhao Dahai is really making money now, and this little money is really not important to him."
"He has to say nothing about the money he earns from catching fish. If you don’t send it over, then you will have to take advantage of the elders!”
Huanghuang Tao knew what Zhao Shi was thinking.
"Yo!"
"Then why don't you go out to sea with him and go for a quick trip? If you don't catch fish, you won't make any money, and I have to pay for gas?"
"Zhao Dahai Can he ask for this money? If he doesn’t want this money, why should I have to pay for it?”
Zhao Shi felt embarrassed.
"Haizhi definitely doesn't want your money, but he doesn't want your money because he respects you."
"Isn't that what you just said? If Dahai doesn't make money at ordinary times and it's more difficult, it would make sense to not divide your money, but now it's making money and it's a lot of money."
"If this fish doesn't divide your money, , He must not be able to cope with it in his heart."
Huang Huangtao shook his head.
Zhao Shi stared, wanting to say something but couldn't. It made sense, so he just lowered his head, said nothing, and just kept smoking.
Huang Huangtao knew that Zhao Shi had listened to what he said, and he put the mung bean cake in his hand to his mouth and ate it happily.
Zhao Dahai returned home and told his grandma Zhong Cuihua that he had given the money to his second grandfather Zhao Shi.
Zhong Cuihua thought for a while and nodded. This matter should be handled this way. Today is different from the past. Zhao Dahai is really making a lot of money now. Naturally, the handling of things is different from the last time. Favor, no matter what time it is, It has to be handled well, and you can't just ignore it if it's a close relative.
Five o'clock in the morning.
Langtou Village Pier.
The fishing moratorium is over, and the pier has returned to its usual bustle, with fishing boats returning from fishing one after another.
Zhao Dahai got on the speedboat, untied the cable, rested for a few days, and started running out to sea today. The sun did not rise on the sea, and the sea blew over it, making it very cool.
Zhao Dahai’s speedboat went faster and faster, heading straight for the fishing spot.
Asking for monthly tickets and recommended votes! Thanks!
