Chapter 191 Sensation

Chapter 191 Sensation
Old Man Jin thought of the scene of fishing with iron boats and sighed, "Among the families in our village, Ale's family and Boss Wang caught the most, but it's still not as good as Zhou's iron boat. When I have money in the future, I will have to use a boat like that."

Brother Li nodded, "Yes! It has to be a metal boat!"

Li Changle knew that if they had been driving a metal boat today, they would have caught more fish, but he was satisfied with earning what others earned in a year in just one day.

Li Asi, who was driving in front, stood in the driver's seat and saw from afar the Li family, as well as the Jin and Lai family members waiting at the dock.

I looked around, but I couldn't see my own boat. The bow of the boat, which was originally turning towards the pier, turned towards the channel.

Li Changle and his party drove to the vicinity of the dock, and several boats from the neighboring village sailed straight ahead.

I saw my family standing at the dock looking at this side. After looking around, I didn't see Uncle Li's boat unloading cargo at the dock.

"Brother, is Fourth Uncle really going to Tuxia Bridge to unload the cargo?" Li Changle thought of what the boat captain from Shaji Village said.

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?" Brother Li thought about it and said, "Who cares? It's better for Fourth Uncle to spend his money himself than for him to give it to the Xu family. People like Fourth Aunt should also learn a lesson."

He thought that after the big ships arrived at the port, the captains and sailors would either go to the OK halls to gamble or run to massage parlors and bathhouses.

They also say with confidence that they, the fishermen who make their living from the sea, have one foot on the boat and one foot in the sea, so they must enjoy themselves while they can.

When Zhou Ruonan and her daughter-in-law saw the people standing at the bow of the boat, their worries were put at ease.

Most of the fishing boats that went out to sea this morning have returned, but theirs has not yet returned. Everyone is worried, so they all came here to wait.

The three boats came to the shore one after the other and the family members waiting at the dock gathered around them.

"Why is it so late..."

The old man and the young man who were near the fishing boat looked at the catch with their mouths in an O shape. They didn't finish their words because they were shocked by the boat full of fish and swallowed them back into their stomachs.

The same thing happened to the Jin family and the Lai family. Jin Chan and her daughter also stared blankly.

Li Xiaoyang was the one who reacted quickly. He jumped onto the boat and looked at the fish on the deck with shining eyes. "Dad, did you encounter a school of fish again?"

Brother Li happily stroked his son and said, "Yes, we encountered a big school of fish today!"

"Mother, Nan, sister-in-law, what are you still standing there for? Go to Dong's house and get a bamboo basket to sort the fish!"

"Oh!" Zhou Ruonan reacted, turned around and ran towards Adong's house, and Li's mother and daughter-in-law followed.

Chen Yongwei walked to the Jin family's fishing boat with a red face and said, "Achan, we also caught a lot!"

"Mom~" Jin Chan grabbed Jin Mu's arm and shouted excitedly, "Mom, look, the fish caught by A Wei and his crew are so many. How big is this school of fish?"

"So many big fish!" Chen Yongwei walked over excitedly and told her everything from how Li Changle discovered the fish, how they caught fish, how they pulled the net, and the king fish that was longer than a human.

Jin Chan exclaimed in surprise from time to time, showing great support. Chen Yongwei became even more excited, gesticulating and beaming with joy. He was not at all like the honest and silent man that he usually was.

Jin's mother was extremely happy. Her family had caught so many fish, and her future son-in-law, Xiangu's boat had also caught so many. He was a lucky man, and her daughter would be blessed to be with him in the future.

"Wow! So many big fish!" Li Xiaoyang waved to his brother and sister-in-law on the shore, "Come and see, hahaha, this one is longer than my dad."

Li Xiaotao and Li Xiaobo jumped onto the deck in a flash, but Li Xiaoqing and Li Xiaohui didn't dare to jump and waited for Brother Li to lower the springboard.

"Brother, brother, look, this one is longer than me."

"Wow, this fish has such long spikes on its mouth..."

Chen Yongwei explained with a smile, "This one is a swordfish, and the biggest one is a swordfish, which is the king of fish today!"

Brother Li put the gangway in place, and Li Xiaohui and Li Xiaoqing got on board, carefully avoiding the fish on the deck, for fear of stepping on the fish and not being able to sell them at a good price.

The brothers and sisters looked at the big fish and chattered non-stop.

Grandma Chen looked at her grandson and future granddaughter-in-law happily, stepped on the gangplank to get on the boat, took out a dollar from her pocket, patted Li Xiaoyang, and handed it to him.

"Ayang, go home and find Doctor Xiang, and buy two bottles of Huoluo Oil. Keep them at home and use them to rub your father and uncle later."

"Yes, yes, yes, Auntie is really thoughtful!" Li Changle was also busy taking out money, "Ayang, you ride the tricycle back and bring all the bamboo baskets from home."

"Oh oh!" Li Xiaoyang quickly went ashore with the money and rode away on his tricycle.

Grandma Chen remembered something and quickly reminded him, "Bring the food that's warm in the pot!"

Li Xiaoyang waved his hand to indicate that he heard it.

Zhou Ruonan and her mother-in-law came over pulling Chen Dong's cart, which was piled with bamboo baskets. They moved the bamboo baskets onto the boat, squatted down and started working.

Li Changle hurriedly took out the gloves and distributed them to them. He suddenly saw the stonefish and said, "Be careful, don't get pricked if you see a stonefish." Mother Li said cheerfully, "Do I need you to teach me this?"

Li Changle took the remaining gloves and said to Li Xiaoqing and the others, "Children, you have to help with the work when you come here. After you finish these, each of you will be paid one yuan."

There are too many of them. If we don’t recruit a few child laborers, they won’t be able to finish the work until midnight.

"Really give me one?" Several children looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Keep your word!" Li Changle distributed gloves to several people, "Put on your gloves and just sort out the silver pomfret. Don't pick up anything else."

"Uh-huh!"

Mrs. Li's sisters-in-law waved at them, "Come here, learn to pick up the trash from mother and grandmother."

Li Changle also put on gloves and sat next to Zhou Ruonan. His movements were as slow as a turtle. There was nothing he could do as his hands were sore, so he could only work slowly.

Brother Li and Brother Li II have been training for two years and are in better condition than him and Chen Yongwei.

"Ah Le, did you encounter a school of silver pomfret?"

Li Changle nodded. "Today, every family in that sea area has a full boat. At that time, the four of us wished we had eight claws like crabs, but we couldn't catch them all."

Mrs. Li said to Brother Li with regret, "If I had known earlier, I would have let you take the boat out for a test voyage. The catch today can earn back the money for the boat."

Brother Li: "Ah Fang, look at the catch on the Jin family's boat. Even if we go there by boat, we may not catch as much as one boat alone."

Brother Li: "Big brother is right. It's just one more catch with the trawl. We have to take turns casting the nets, so we can catch more."

Chen Dong and his father also ran out. Looking at the three fishing boats lined up in a row and the fish on the deck, they were more excited than Li Changle and the others. "My goodness, where did you catch so many silver pomfret?"

The boss of Li's also came out and greeted the Lai brothers enthusiastically, "Alai, the decks of those boats that just passed by were also full of fish. Could they all be silver pomfret?"

"We have silver pomfret and big fish!" Lai Laoer said proudly. Most of their goods were given to Li Ji.

Wang Laokou and Wang Mazi also ran out, wanting to see if there were any fishing boats from other villages so that they could also catch a batch of good catches.

When he saw the fish on Li Changle's deck, envy, jealousy and hatred surged in his heart.

Thanks to Li Changle, no boat in the village sells fish to his family now, and even the women who go fishing in the sea don't go to his house to sell their fish.

Although there were not many fish in the past, they believed that Li Changle had ruined their reputation, so these people stopped going to his house to sell fish.

Old Chen glanced at the father and son and deliberately spoke loudly to Li Changle, "Ah Le, it's great! The catch of one boat is more than that of two other boats. You brothers are so lucky!"

Li Changle smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me? There are four of us brothers working, but they only have two."

"A Le, you guys are always there when good stuff comes out. It looks like you brothers are going to be rich!" Boss Li also said with a smile.

"Yes, it hasn't been long since their family bought a boat. In the afternoon, they pulled in several carts of wood. They must be making a lot of money!" Even the owner of the convenience store came out to watch the fun.

Brother Li took it and said, "Uncle Li, it would be great if there were more money. Our family is still in a lot of debt!"

"What's that little debt? It can be repaid in one go."

When Chen's father and son saw their expressions, they knew that their hands were injured today, so they went on board diligently to help move the bamboo baskets onto the cart.

Li Changle walked forward and took Chen Dong to see the big fish, "Brother, today we have a lot of good stuff, I'll keep some for Uncle Kun, and the rest will be all yours, but we have to talk about the price first!"

"As you should." Chen Dong pointed at the giant mackerel, and several meter-long tuna and red snapper, "Do you want to keep these big goods for Uncle Kun, or ask a few bosses to come?"

"Forget it, I'll send these to Uncle Kun." Li Changle looked at the pomfret, "Let's agree on the price of the silver pomfret first."

"Brother, small silver pomfret under half a catty is 20 cents per catty, more than half a catty is 40 cents, more than a catty is 70 cents, more than two catties is 1.2 yuan. Of course, if you go higher, the price depends on the product."

Chen Dong added, "You know, as long as there is a large school of fish, the price of fish will fall. I still pay according to the price of the large ships before the typhoon."

Li Changle looked at him with a smile, "The price of large fish will fluctuate. You also know that the typhoon has just passed, and your stock has almost been sold out, right?
Also, our fish are different from those frozen in the big ships for days. They are all freshly caught today. I won't tell you much, 25 cents for less than half a catty. I'll see later. If there are a lot, I'll sell you a few baskets.

For more than half a catty, the price is 45 cents, and for more than one catty and two catties, the price will be increased by 10 cents per catty. If you think it’s okay, we can take the goods and settle the bill.”

He has never sold pomfret weighing less than half a catty in the restaurant, but the price of pomfret weighing more than one catty or two catties is three times higher than that in the restaurant.

Chen Dong looked at him with an embarrassed look on his face, "Brother, if you increase the price by one cent per pound, I won't make any profit..."

"Brother, there is profit to be made, it's just a matter of how much you make. Also, the quantity this time is large and the goods are fresh. You can sell a lot of them at the market tomorrow, and you will make more than before."
