Chapter 175? Am I not doing well?
April 13, at half past five in the morning.
Chen Yun, who has practiced fishing correctly, landed from the shore with the fish in his net bag.
Because of the guidance of beyond-visual-range azimuth perception, the location where Chen Yun landed was not that far away from where he left, almost only less than a hundred meters apart.
After going ashore and shaking off the water stains on his body, Chen Yun looked at the only swordfish in his net bag and smiled with satisfaction.
The sword-like upper jaw of the swordfish was thrust out through the fishing net. Chen Yun felt a sense of accomplishment when holding it in his hand.
The meat is delicious and has high economic value. Due to its fast swimming speed and ferocious nature, swordfish is difficult to catch with ordinary nets. A few of them are entangled in gill nets and caught.
This is what he gained from working for so long last night and early this morning.
Chen Yun, who has been obsessed with catching fish for a long time, originally caught a lot of other fish.
But when he saw a swordfish that was more than two meters long, the upper jaw of its mouth was like a sharp sword, and the first spinal fin with black spots on its back was longer than its body height, like a flying flag.
He immediately released all the fish.
This thing is a rare thing in Dasha Fishing Ground.
Sailfish is mainly distributed in the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, and there are also some branches in the South China Sea and the southern part of the East China Sea in China.
But Chen Yun is now in the northern part of the East China Sea.
Meeting this thing can only be said to be a coincidence.
And now that we have encountered it, we must not let it go easily.
The swordfish is the fastest swimming fish in the world, and its streamlined body is ideal for swimming. When swimming, its sharp sword-like beak can help it split the water in front of it. Coupled with its strong tail and well-developed muscles, it swims like an arrow off the string, reaching speeds of up to 110 kilometers per hour.
This is perfect sparring.
Chen Yun chased after him at full speed without hesitation.
However, he could barely reach a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour at full throttle, which was still far behind the 110 kilometers per hour of the swordfish.
So whenever I want to catch up, I can't catch up.
It will use the ability to stimulate emotions to control the swordfish for a while, and then release the control when it catches up quickly.
It went on like this for a long time.
Chen Yun successfully caught up with the exhausted swordfish.
Although the speed in the water is indeed not comparable, in terms of endurance, this wave is a complete victory.
Well, why doesn't it count as a victory?
After taking the swordfish into the bag with satisfaction.
Chen Yun then went back home, ending this long chase that could be called an exercise.
He felt like he was fishing.
By the way, I pounded my whole body to exercise, and the effect can only be said to be unexpectedly good.
And today I went to the sea to exercise and fish, and I didn’t even write a word. It felt so good.
Inexplicably, I feel like I've earned something secretly.
When he finally returned to land, it was almost dawn.
At half past five in the morning, the sky gradually wakes up from the deep darkness of night, showing a soft and subtle change. At this time, a touch of light blue began to appear on the eastern horizon, like a wisp of gauze gently spreading across the sky.
The stars are gradually receding, and the whole world seems to be still sleeping, but this glimmer of light in the sky is like nature's alarm clock, quietly announcing that a new day is about to begin.
There is still a slight coolness in the air and the tranquility left by the night, making the sky at this moment particularly clear and peaceful.
Chen Yun held the swordfish in his hand.
He walked slowly towards the small forest where he put his backpack. At this moment, he was almost dry after walking all the way.
He changed into his own clothes.
After looking at his cell phone, which had no message, he walked towards Zhengjiacun.
…
When he returned to the fishing village, no one noticed him because he deliberately avoided others.
When he pushed open the door of Zheng Yuliang's house.
I found that Zheng Yuliang had already woken up at this point, holding the keys and putting on his shoes anxiously.
He looked up when he heard the door open.
When he saw the swordfish in Chen Yun's hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, but knowing that it was not too rare, he didn't ask anything.
Fish have phototaxis, and many fishing teams like to go fishing at night. Moreover, the fishing ban period is coming soon, so everyone should seize the time to fish for some more time.
Maybe Chen Yun went out with a fishing team last night, right? After all, he is here specifically for travel, so it is not surprising that he would spend money to see the world with some of the big fishing teams that have been going out a lot recently.
"What's wrong with you?"
Chen Yun, who didn't wait for Zheng Yuliang to ask him where the fish came from, didn't say much, but asked with a smile.
Zheng Yuliang clearly looked like he was about to go out.
"Usually, people go to the temporary market in the center of the fishing village every weekend to buy, but the May fishing moratorium is coming soon, so there have been an especially large number of people buying in the past few weeks, wondering if they can find some wild goodies here. "
"During this period, we can also sell a lot of the things we usually breed."
"I promised the grandfather who raises shrimps next door that I will help him today."
"But yesterday I was so busy cleaning up the traces left by the typhoon that I fell asleep so tired that I forgot to help grandpa."
"I'm going out first."
After saying that, Zheng Yuliang left the house in a hurry.
Chen Yun took one look and looked no further.
He was somewhat interested in the market, but now that he had just come out of the sea, he felt uncomfortable, and he was afraid that salt would precipitate from his body after a while.
So he planned to take a good bath.
With this in mind, Chen Yun put the sailfish that had died of lack of oxygen into the basin, carefully cleaned the great white shark teeth that he pulled out and brought back, then wiped them dry and placed them on the table in his bedroom.
Then he teased the silly dog Bai Jin for a while, then went to the bathroom and started taking a bath.
Wait until he finishes washing up.
After coming out, I found that silly dog Bai Jin was looking at the huge swordfish in the basin seriously, with a nervous look on his face.
See this.
Chen Yun rubbed the dog's head with a smile.
Then I went directly to the temporary market in the center of the fishing village with the swordfish I caught.
…………
By the time he arrived at the temporary market not far from the entrance of the fishing village center and community service center, it was already dark at six in the morning.
A faint fish belly white appeared on the horizon, exuding a peaceful and vital atmosphere. The outline of the community service center gradually became clear in the morning light.
In this small open space, rows of simple stalls are arranged in an orderly manner, forming a makeshift market.
The villagers gathered here early under the careful organization of the village branch, and their faces were filled with the light of hard work and expectation. Each stall displays a variety of aquatic products, from fresh and jumping fish and shrimps to shellfish and crabs. These are the results of villagers' own ponds or offshore farming, exuding the unique flavor of the sea. The fresh aroma and fishy smell. Occasionally, you can see some more exotic seafood piled in front of several stalls. Those were wild catches brought by several experienced "sea-going men" in the village who went to sea immediately after the typhoon.
Their presence adds a bit of mystery and temptation to this small market. These wild seafood are colorful and have different shapes, attracting many curious eyes.
Purchasers came from all over Qixi City. They were either caterers or seafood wholesalers. Wearing different clothes but all with a professional and critical eye, they shuttled between the stalls and carefully selected the products. Sometimes they bent down to take a closer look, sometimes they bargained with the villagers. The air was filled with the cheerful atmosphere of trading and the salty smell of sea water.
Chen Yun relied on his ability to perceive the world and went straight to the stall where Zheng Yuliang was.
It was a stall run by an old man, mainly selling a bunch of shrimps.
Zheng Yuliang, who was supposed to come to help, was standing aside at a loss.
Because Zheng Dalei was staying next to the old man with experience, weighing, peeling, and bargaining almost all at once.
Zheng Dalei's son, Zheng Ronggang, was standing behind Zheng Yuliang, massaging his back.
When Zheng Yuliang saw Chen Yun arriving, he came to stand next to Chen Yun as if he were running away. Apparently he was a little confused by Zheng Dalei's enthusiasm for rushing forward.
When Zheng Dalei saw Chen Yun's arrival, he was also excited and wanted to say something, but Chen Yun's decisive change of eyes made him immediately stop talking.
Ignoring Zheng Dalei's gaze, Chen Yun looked at the shrimp farmer in front of him and said, "Uncle, is it okay for you to sell my swordfish?"
As he spoke, Chen Yun placed the swordfish he caught with his bare hands on the stall.
Seeing this, the old man did not refuse, but said: "It may not be sold."
"It's okay, just sell it for fun."
Chen Yun nodded and said nothing.
It doesn't matter whether it is sold or not. It is purely because after the fishermen catch the fish, they feel that it is a waste just to put it there.
Seeing the old man being so polite.
Chen Yun also smiled and stepped forward, took Zheng Dalei's bench next to him and sat down.
Then we chatted next to the old man.
When Zheng Dalei saw this, he stood up and chatted with the buyers seriously, and also helped with some weighing and packaging work.
Zheng Yuliang also had no time to spare and went up to do things, causing Zheng Ronggang who was beating his back behind him to look left and right. Then after seeing the stern look in his father Zheng Dalei's eyes, he consciously ran out to solicit customers from the crowd.
Not long.
Chen Yun raised his eyebrows and felt a little surprised by a guest that Zheng Ronggang brought over.
He was a man with a strong physique, his skin was slightly tanned due to years of outdoor work, and his clothes were an old suit that had a lot of seafood smell.
Behind him were two younger brothers.
The moment he saw Chen Yun, the man subconsciously opened his mouth in surprise.
·························
Beside the market, next to the notice board of the community service center.
Chen Yun and the man stood here.
The man smiled and handed over a cigarette.
However, Chen Yun pushed his hand to express his refusal.
"Hou Liansheng, you boy, you are acting like a human being now."
Chen Yun laughed and complained.
The person in front of him is a college classmate of the same major as him. Although he is not a roommate, his relationship is reasonable and he can be considered an acquaintance.
"It's just normal. When I'm a hotel purchasing manager, I have to travel to various fishing villages and fishing bases in the wind and rain all day long."
"The two people following me are just new employees in the purchasing department."
After putting away the cigarette he handed out, Hou Liansheng smiled and waved his hand, saying that he was not that good at it now.
then.
The two chatted politely for a long time.
Hou Liansheng deliberately did not ask Chen Yun how he was doing now, and just silently chatted about some things the two of them had in college.
Chen Yun glanced at Hou Liansheng in front of him thoughtfully, and continued chatting with him with a smile.
Until more than ten minutes later.
Hou Liansheng's two younger brothers waved to Hou Liansheng from a distance.
Seeing this, Hou Liansheng stopped reminiscing and looked at Chen Yun and said, "I won't reminisce today. I have something to do when I go back after shopping. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Finished.
Hou Liansheng said goodbye to Chen Yun with a smile.
It was as if he was afraid that Chen Yun would find something and look for him.
…
Hou Liansheng returned to the car.
He set off in a car with one of his younger brothers.
Hou Liansheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was lamenting how his old classmate had become a fisherman, when he heard another boy sitting in the back seat speak.
"Manager, we have followed what you said and took care of your old classmate who didn't get along well while you two were chatting. We rounded up the things on that stall and even bought the unnecessary swordfish together. "
The younger brother reported his work seriously.
Hearing this, Hou Liansheng nodded and said to the younger brother in the driver's seat: "Well, we won't go to the village in the south to buy shrimps later. We will go to the fishing village in the north to buy some cod and then go back."
After saying that, Hou Liansheng looked at the little brother in the driver's seat and nodded, and prepared to close his eyes and rest.
Although he was used to going out to buy things early in the morning, he was still a little tired.
If it weren't for the fact that they were all in this large five-star hotel and had a well-paid purchasing manager position, he would have really wanted to give up the job.
Seeing this, the boy in the back seat spoke again: "But manager, I feel that your old classmate is not as bad as you think."
"When we were shopping, the big man in charge of weighing and packing kept looking at your old classmate with a look that I can't describe. It felt like he was full of respect and fear at the same time."
"It's similar to the look in the eyes of the previous intern Xiao Zhang when he was being disciplined by the chairman last time. It's like there is a big difference in status between the two people."
After the boy in the back row finished speaking.
There was a serious look on his face.
Hou Liansheng was stunned when he heard this analysis, and couldn't help but wonder: "Ah? He can't be a village cadre in this fishing village? Wait until I go back to check."
After saying that, Hou Liansheng narrowed his eyes.
He originally thought that his old classmate was not doing well, so he quietly asked his subordinates to take care of him.
Could it be that...
Are you being sentimental?
