Chapter 177 The rich have distant relatives in the mountains

While moving, he listened to Uncle Lin praising him. After all the goods on the boat were moved, Ye Yaodong smiled and pulled out two cigarettes for him and asked, "How was Uncle Lin's harvest today?"

Uncle Lin smiled and took the cigarettes, tucking both of them behind his ears.

"Don't mention it. The boat didn't work before it even towed two nets. I drove it back quickly and sold it for about ten yuan in total. How can I compare with you? That manta ray is three or four times as expensive as mine.

"

I don’t know when the manta ray’s gills became valuable.

Penguin gills are bony fish with two rows of bony protrusions juxtaposed on the inner edge of each gill arch, also called gill rakers.

This thing called "expanded fish gills" has been considered by many people as a panacea for all diseases since I don't know when. I heard that many manta rays that have been hunted in recent years have been sent to Guangzhou.

Qingping City.

The price is not cheap. I heard that the wholesale price of penguin gills is 3 cents per gram, and 15 per pound...

But in fact, as far as he knows, there is no difference between the gills of bloated fish and the gills of ordinary marine fish.

But the price of this manta ray is really not cheap. It weighed 43 kilograms and cost 7 cents per kilogram. This fish alone sold for 30 yuan, and the mackerel, sea wolf fish and sea bass together sold for 15 yuan.

The other smaller fish were not light in weight. They were weighed by categories and sold for more than 20 yuan in total.

The first time I tried longline fishing was very successful. I sold more than 60 yuan on the first day, and the ground cages also sold for almost 20 yuan.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "With good luck, if Uncle Lin doesn't come back early, he can drag dozens of trawls in one day."

"It also depends on luck. I just happen to come back early today. I'm going to talk to some friends who make fishing boats and see if there are any second-hand boats that I can help you with."

He thanked him happily: "Thank you very much, Uncle Lin. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"You're welcome. It's not a problem. I just asked. It's rare for a boy to make progress. Your father is so happy. In the past, when he was drinking, he would scold you and complain. It's rare that you can give him face now.

, do your best from now on."

"Hey, okay, okay."

"Go back early, it will rain heavily soon."

Ye Yaodong looked at the sky that suddenly became dark again. This was the dark clouds drifting over the sea. It was obviously still bright when he just entered the purchasing point, and it might really rain heavily in a while.

"Okay, then you should go back first. It's raining, and it's inconvenient to be muddy and wet everywhere. I'm not in a hurry about the fishing boat. Just ask me when you're free."

"Um."

Ye Yao, who originally planned to go home quickly, looked at Xiaoxiao and Azheng who were coming ashore. He went over to help them move the fish twice more, and then rushed home with the bucket.

Just as he ran to the door of his house, it started to rain. He rushed under the eaves. It didn't matter whether he ran or not. He was already soaked to the skin anyway.

Lin Xiuqing also saw him coming back from inside the house. She quickly came out with a towel and wiped his face and neck, "Didn't it just rain? Why are you all wet?"

"I encountered a big fish and was splashed with water all over my body."

He thought it was a special experience, quite novel, and vividly told her how the devil fish flew into the air, and how the boat was dragged away by the devil.

Lin Xiuqing was stunned when she heard this, but she came to her senses immediately and quickly asked him if he was okay.

"It's okay. What can happen? It's not like we're in the deep sea. It's just around here. If you fall in, you can swim back."

"Be careful next time. Things are unpredictable and the risks at sea are very high."

"Um."

"I'll boil water for you. Take a hot bath. Don't catch a cold. I don't know if it rains today and I'll come back early. The water hasn't even boiled yet."

"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, just give me a bowl of noodles first! Keep the order first." He took off his clothes as he walked, wearing only a pair of shorts, and sat there waiting.

Lin Xiuqing was pleasantly surprised again when she saw the receipt. She knew that he was going to longline today.

"Are you still asking people to make row hooks today?"

"Yes, I plan to make 1,000 of them first, and then try to get a larger ship and go to farther seas."

"I don't know when I can buy it. It's hard to buy. Who would be willing to sell a boat?"

"Let's wait a few days and see."

He also knew this, so he could only do it slowly, and it might not always be a coincidence.

In fact, he was very attracted to the A Guang family's boat at that time, but he didn't have the capital, otherwise the boat would be quite suitable. Now he can only pay attention to it slowly and try his luck.

There is no need to buy a new boat. The main reason is that you don’t have that much money, so you have to search and save a little. If you can’t buy it for a long time, you can only consider it after you have saved enough money.

On a rainy day, nothing could be done. Ye Yaodong went straight to bed after eating and taking a shower, planning to take a nap with his wife in his arms.

He kicked his two sons out to play with ants at the door.

Ye Muyu stopped and saw the two brothers squatting in the corner of the door, playing there with a bamboo, not knowing what they were playing with?

"What are you doing here? You don't even go inside when it rains?"

"Dad said he was going to sleep with mom and asked us not to go in and disturb him. He gave me and Yangyang two branches and told us to play with ants and not to run around, otherwise the dog's legs would be broken."

Ye Mu: "..."

"Go inside first and don't let the cold wind blow outside."

"It's so boring. My brothers and sisters have all gone to school, so I can only play with Yangyang at home."

"Well, they will come back from school in a moment, and you can go to school in the second half of next year."

"No, didn't we agree? I'm going to herd sheep."

Mother Ye looked at him in confusion, why doesn't anyone want to study?

She said angrily: "Go into the house and don't say such things so loudly to make others laugh."

"Oh." Ye Chenghu scratched his head and led Ye Chengyang into the house.

Mother Ye took down the basket she was carrying and took out a painted basin with the word "happy" on it and placed it on the table.

"Grandma, did you bring something delicious again? What kind of delicious food is it?"

"I'm just thinking about eating. Why don't you climb up and see if you dare to eat?"

After Ye Mu finished speaking, she searched around the room, then took a sink of the same style from the top shelf in the corner, picked up the washbasin on the table and poured it into it.

The two children looked disgusted, "It's so disgusting... Why is it like this again? Dad has brought it back before."

"What's disgusting? You haven't eaten it before?" Mother Ye said, reaching into the basin, grabbing a handful, and handed it to the two brothers, which scared them so much that they took several steps back.

"yue~It's so scary~"

"Terrible~"

After catching them, Mother Ye took the washbasin to the boss's house and shared some with the family, and then turned around to help kill them first.

At this time, Lin Xiuqing woke up when she heard the voices outside the house, and climbed out of bed quietly.

"Mom, are you here? Has the rain stopped outside?"

"Stop. Your Uncle Lin just sent over a basin of sea centipedes. I'll bring them over to share with you, and kill them for you on the way."

"Ah, oh! Let me do it."

"No, please stop working. This thing is too ugly. Stop looking at it and don't be affected."

Lin Xiuqing was still a little confused from her sleep. She glanced at the basin and woke up instantly.

I saw Ye Mu grabbing a 30-centimeter-long sea centipede in her hand, holding a pair of scissors in her other hand, inserting it directly from its mouth, pulling out one end, and then throwing it into the soup bowl next to it.

Be straightforward, proficient in work, and not sloppy.

Come to think of it, she still won't reach out, right?

"Uncle Lin said that a friend of mine seems to be changing to a larger boat of more than 30 meters recently. After he changes to a new boat, he may not want his iron boat of more than ten meters and want to resell it. He has already revealed that Dongzi

If I want to sell it, I should come to your father."

Lin Xiuqing nodded happily, "Okay, I'll talk to A Dong later."

"I heard."

Ye Yaodong came out of the house and stretched. He woke up when his wife got out of bed. Hearing the sound outside the house, he slowly got up.

"Where did the sea centipedes come from? Mom, don't kill them all, leave a few alive for me."

This thing was very useful when used as fishing bait. He went to get a bowl, grabbed a handful and put it alone.

"What are you doing with this?"

"Useful, as fishing bait."

"Why don't you stop doing your business and just think about fishing? After you change the boat, you have to be more diligent. The boat is not cheap. Make money back as soon as possible."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. He was doing serious business, okay?

"knew."

When Mother Ye saw that he was not harsh or nagging, she killed all the sea centipedes in the basin and went back first.

Ye Yaodong didn't let Lin Xiuqing touch this ugly thing, so he took it to the back door to wash it.
