Chapter 203
The three of them were now tired and hungry. They had already finished breakfast by this time, but they were too busy to do so.
Seeing that there were not many left on the deck, Zhao Qin left it to Ah He to pick it up, while he washed his hands and started cooking.
The pork brought by his sister-in-law was good, with alternate fat and lean meat. Zhao Qin picked some and put it in a pot to stir-fry out the fat, then added water and boiled it.
As soon as the water boils, put the rice noodles in, add the salt later and throw the vegetables in, and simmer for another minute.
“Brother, take a bite first.” Zhao Ping was the most tired. In the previous situation, Zhao Qin and Ah He couldn’t change hands. Even if they could, he probably wouldn’t agree to it.
When Zhao Qin was making rice noodles, he also picked out some more lean meat and vegetables and put them in the lunch box before handing them to his elder brother.
The remaining meat was thrown into Ahe’s lunch box. Zhao Qin was not really so selfless, mainly because he didn’t like eating serious meat.
Like eating chicken, he also prefers offal and ribs when eating pork.
After breakfast, Zhao Qin felt that he was almost docking, so he took out his cell phone and took a look. Sure enough, he had a signal, so he immediately called Chen Dong.
“Aqin, didn’t you go to sea?”
“Brother Dong, ride the tricycle to the pier first and wait. We encountered a school of fish at night. See if you can call a big tricycle from the street. Let’s try to take it home as soon as possible.”
The signal was not very good and Chen Dong could hear it intermittently, but he probably understood it.
“What kind of fish, how long will it take to get to the shore?”
Then there was a burst of harsh noise. He didn’t hear anything Zhao Qin said, so he stopped thinking about it immediately. He hung up the phone and replied to the text message Zhao Qin received, asking his woman to come down and check on the door.
He first ran to the intersection and called a tricycle. Since Aqin’s mobile phone had a signal, it meant that he was not far from the pier.
I ran home and got on the tricycle that Zhao Qin had left there. The two tricycles came to the pier. After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw a boat emerging in the distance.
As soon as the boat docked, Chen Dong jumped onto the boat anxiously and asked, “Did you meet it at night? What kind of fish was it?”
“Chunzi, around three or four o’clock, I have been chasing fish for more than two hours.” After Zhao Qin finished speaking, he jumped into the cold storage and began to pass fish up.
“Damn it, Ah Qin, you made a mistake. This is a big yellow croaker.” Chen Dong shouted excitedly.
Zhao Qin poked his head out of the cold storage and glared at him angrily, “Tell your voice lower, you want everyone in the city to hear it.”
“No, you are a big yellow croaker, not Chunzi.”
“Brother Dong, the main thing is Chunzi fish. These large yellow croakers are mixed in the fish school.” Ahe explained.
Chen Dong was so excited. He felt that he could support his buying station just by taking in A Qin, a fishing boat.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to the dock, Zhao Qin was still quite happy. Of course, he was happy too early. When the first basket of large yellow croakers was carried up, curious people came forward to check.
“Damn it, big yellow croaker.”
“Oh my God, we’ve encountered a school of large yellow croakers. Why are there so many of them?”
“Damn, this is so lucky. Oh, this boat seems to be the one that caught several thousand kilograms of white pomfret.”
“Yes, it’s them. Oh my god, look at their luck.”
As everyone exclaimed, more and more people gathered around. People who were doing business around the pier also came over to join in the fun and see what was going on.
Seeing the baskets being carried up, the group of people were numb. How could there be so many? Although the ones carried later were all spring fish, it was still too much.
Zhao Qin huddled in the cold storage and simply did not show up. When he brought the last basket up and saw Chen Dong greeting everyone and leaving with another tricycle, he was secretly relieved.
“Aqin, please stay, Ahe and I will go to sea next.”
Someone must be retained, and that part of the goods must be weighed and roughly sorted on the ship. It is estimated that it will be divided into detailed specifications when it arrives at the purchasing station.
“Brother, how about we just leave it like this today? You and Ah He go back to rest first, and we can put the remaining cages in tomorrow?”
“Brother, you are busy selling goods here, and we are also busy going to sea. Besides, it is rare to have good weather, so we can’t delay it.” Ah He could probably guess what Zhao Qin was thinking, so he followed up with advice.
“Okay, don’t let go of the longline fishing today, just drop the ground trap and call it a day.”
“I know, why are you acting like an old lady? Hurry up and let’s hurry up and go to sea.”
Zhao Qin knew that his confession was in vain again. With his elder brother’s temperament, he would definitely let the longline go today.
Fortunately, the typhoon may have just passed, and the sea is calm today, so there won’t be any danger.
Standing on the shore, watching the ship leave the port, he turned around and ran to the purchasing station. As he expected, the door of the purchasing station was already crowded with people. On the road, he saw someone still running to the purchasing station.
As he ran, he kept mumbling that someone had arrested him.Thousands of kilograms of yellow croaker.
Rumors don’t care too much about the facts. Usually everyone is willing to say something more shocking. How can it be more exciting to say that a boat of spring fish is a boat of yellow croaker?
After finally squeezing into the purchasing station, I saw that Chen Dong and Chen’s father were also overwhelmed and were dealing with people coming and going.
“Everyone, please make way. I can’t do my business if you keep squeezing together, and it’s dangerous.” Chen’s father persuaded with a hoarse voice.
They were doing business, so they naturally couldn’t push and shove, so they could only persuade with kind words.
“Old Chen, leave me a spring croaker.”
“Old Chen, leave me a yellow croaker weighing about one and a half kilograms.”
Father Chen clasped his fists and bowed to the crowd, “Everyone, I can’t hear you clearly like this, so let’s go first. If you need anything, send a message to Adong’s mobile phone, and I will definitely leave it for you.
Today our fishing boat has a good harvest, and the price will satisfy everyone.”
Father Chen did not deny that this was his own fishing boat. Aqin was so lucky, and he could get some of his luck by saying that it was his own.
Zhao Qin saw that the group was still looking at the dozens of baskets of fish on the ground, so he said to Chen Dong: “Brother Dong, help move the fish to the backyard. They can’t see it and will disperse in a while.”
“Yes, yes, move the fish first.”
The two began to move. It was not easy to move dozens of baskets of fish. It took a while to move all the fish. Zhao Qin then said to the crowd:
“Okay, there is no more excitement to watch. Everyone is busy. If you want to buy goods, call me, Brother Dong. If you delay here any longer, the fish will be stale. Sorry everyone.”
He stood on a stool and shouted loudly several times, and the people around him slowly turned around and dispersed.
When most of the people had left, Chen’s father wiped the sweat from his forehead, thought about it, and called Chen’s mother down from upstairs to watch the door. He followed Zhao Qin to the backyard.
“Aqin, you are so lucky. Not to mention the yellow croaker, the spring fish alone are worth the income of many people going out to sea for one or two months.”
“Uncle, this time it was all thanks to my eldest brother. He was impatient and saw that the wind had stopped, so he towed me up at 12 o’clock. If it weren’t for him, we probably would have missed it. I don’t know which fishing boat would have gotten the bargain.”
“Haha, what belongs to you is still yours.”
“Aqin, you have to pick it again. You divided the specifications too roughly, so it’s not easy to weigh.” Chen Dong said, and called his wife down again.
“Thank you for your trouble, sister.”
“Don’t be polite, this shouldn’t be.”
Zhao Qin and Chen Dong’s wife had only met twice before, and this was the third time. Coincidentally, the other party also had the surname Zhao, so Zhao Qin called her sister instead of sister-in-law, which made her feel closer.

PS: There will be more later, everyone, please watch it first.
