Chapter 233 Do my shit
Li Changle stepped on the gas and caught up with them. The two boats slowly slowed down and stopped to collect the nets when they reached Yantou Mountain. Chen Yongwei followed him to the stern of the boat to collect the nets.
When he pulled the net onto the fishing boat, he found that it was much heavier than the net that Brother Li and his team had pulled up at noon.
“This website has goods.”
Chen Yongwei also felt it and grinned happily, "Yes, it is several times heavier than the net this morning."
The two men dragged the net onto the deck, untied the net bag and looked at the catch covering the deck. When they saw the two large fish over one meter long on the deck, their eyes widened in surprise!
Chen Yongwei hugged him excitedly, "Brother, we are rich now, two big red gans!"
"Fuck~ Why are you hugging me?" Li Changle pulled him away uncomfortably, "Hurry up and catch the fish and let the air out!"
"Oh oh!" Chen Yongwei happily picked up a fish and ran to the live tank, excitedly announcing the good news to Brother Li and the others, "Brother, we got a big catch!"
"What big stuff did you get?" Brother Li and the other man looked over here.
"Two big red snappers, each weighing 20 to 30 kilograms." Li Changle helped Chen Yongwei hold down the fish and proudly shouted to the two men, "What about you?"
"There are about ten silver pomfret, and the rest are similar to the one in the net at noon."
Brother Li said with envy and joy, "I thought I was lucky today, but I didn't expect I still can't beat you."
Brother Li looked at the two with shining eyes, "Ah Le's luck is better than that of the Zhou brothers in Shaji Village."
"Haha! I'll treat you to some wine tonight!" Li Changle and Chen Yongwei excitedly put the fish into the live tank, and then turned around to catch another one.
"I want good wine!"
"Okay, that's enough!"
Li Changle waited until Chen Yongwei calmed down, then dragged the rubber bucket and bamboo basket over to sort the fish. He kept muttering to himself, mainly because he was too excited. If he didn't say something, his mouth would be a little idle.
"Thank you, Lord Hailong. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I will pay my respects to you! I will bring a big pig's head, fruits, bowls, thousand sheets of rice cakes, and incense and candles to the Lord's Temple to pay my respects!
This cuttlefish is good. It doesn’t look big but the meat is thick. It will at least be rated A after being dried.
Wow, there are a few small tube squids. It’s the first time I’ve caught them in such a long time. They’re quite plump. Very good. I’ll add them to the stir-fried celery with squid tonight.
"Blue crabs, swimming crabs, three-eyed crabs, millet fish, water bream, they are so annoying, it would be better to replace them with blue crabs! Mantis shrimps should stay with water breams! Damn it, you still dare to pinch me?"
Li Changle pinched the crab shell, pulled out a thin hemp rope, and neatly tied up an orchid crab weighing at least half a pound.
"Haha, there are two seven-conger eels. This is great. I will keep unlocking new species today!"
"Brother, you are chanting, mumbling something and I don't know what you are saying?"
Li Changle threw the tied crabs into the bucket and said, "Happy, your brother is happy today, say a few words to Master Hailong!"
"Brother, how many hundred is it today?"
"A few hundred is the minimum. Today's catch will make up for the losses of yesterday and tomorrow." Li Changle thought of something else and said, "Are you going to move there tomorrow?"
"I'm worried about grandma staying alone in the old house, so I won't move. I'll leave the rooms in Dongcan for the carpenter to use."
"You should. Grandma has had a very hard life. You are her hope and her support. After you get married, you have to have a sense of justice."
Li Changle said to him with a hint of meaning, "A man must have a bottom line. No one can step on this bottom line. Otherwise, you will be like my fourth uncle, living without any dignity."
Chen Yongwei understood what he meant, "Brother, I know. After we get married, I will still respect her as I do now."
"It should be so!"
Li Changle patted him, and the two of them lifted the bamboo basket and rubber bucket aside, fetched water to rinse the deck clean, and Brother Li and the others also cleaned up.
When the boat entered the dock, Li Changle said to Brother Li, "Brother, you guys carry the good stuff onto my boat. I'll go directly to Tuxiaqiao Wharf and ask a cart to take it to the restaurant."
The two men agreed and carried the good catch onto Li Changle's boat, taking the ones that were to be taken back to be killed and made into sea bass and the fish that were to be sent to Chen Dongjia to sell off the boat.
Brother Li thought about today's good catch and how he would be busy at home tomorrow, so he turned around and said, "Ah Le, you promised Boss Chen that you would collect the fish at the dock today, should I still stay to collect it?"
"It's only a little after three o'clock. They must be returning at dusk. Wait for me to come back from the bridge and have a look."
Brother Li looked at the sky and agreed. Today was a clear day with calm winds and seas. It was a perfect day to go out to sea. Those fishing boats would definitely not return until dusk.
After all, they were going to the open sea, and a round trip would cost a lot of diesel. If they didn't have something to do at home, they would definitely wait until the sun went down before returning.
Li Changle started the fishing boat and sailed away from the dock to Tuxia Bridge. More than half an hour later, he arrived at the kitchen of Fenghuang Restaurant with his uncle who was pulling a cart.
Just as I reached the door, the courtyard gate opened from the inside, and A Kun came out with a smile, "I saw you coming upstairs, so I hurried downstairs to open the door."
Then he whispered, "Boss Gu said thank you for the sea duck and duck eggs, and asked me to bring them to you. I tell you, those things are very practical for you, I guarantee you will like them."
Since A Kun said so, Li Changle couldn't refuse. "Then I won't be polite. Please tell Boss Gu to thank me."
"Don't be polite with me." A Kun smiled and patted his shoulder, "Look at the fish first, I'll go to the office and bring it to you later."
"Okay!" Li Changle told him about today's catch. A Kun was so happy after hearing it that he kept praising his sea transportation.
After weighing two red snappers, they weighed 10 jin (496 catties) at 112 yuan per catty, and sold for 256 yuan. Six tiger eels weighed 6 jin (94 yuan), and octopus, tidal flathead, and other fish, shrimp, and crabs sold for 2 yuan. Brother Li's boat picked out 65 jin of horsehead fish, which sold for yuan at cents per catty. Silver pomfret weighed jin ( yuan), and sold for yuan.
Walleye, sea bass, flounder, millet fish, fish, shrimp and crabs sold for a total of 213 yuan.
The two boats earned more than a thousand a day.
While A Kun went to get the money, Li Changle helped the new boy named A Yu to move the fish into the kitchen, some of which were kept and some were put in the freezer.
After a while, A Kun came with a cardboard box. After giving him the money, he opened the box and showed it to Li Changle.
There was only a black jumpsuit that looked a bit like elastic stockings, a diving goggles, fins, and a snorkel inside.
I remembered that Ah Huan called me that day and said that he would find a breathing tube in a few days. Now he has another set, so there will be two sets on the boat in the future.
Ah Kun smiled and said, "Can you use it?"
Li Changle casually found an excuse, "I know how to use it. My brother is in the navy and brought it back when he visited relatives."
In fact, when he was on the boat, he often went into the water with his co-workers to untangle the fishing nets that were stuck on the reefs.
"That's good. This set of stuff was given to Boss Gu by the Hong Kong businessman who came last time. He bought a set a long time ago but never had time to use it. Thinking you might need it when you go out to sea, he asked me to bring it to you so that it wouldn't be wasted.
Li Changle didn't expect Boss Gu to be so thoughtful, and said gratefully: "Uncle Kun, I'm so embarrassed to give you such an expensive item."
"The boss said that only when you make full use of something can its value be reflected. Just use it with confidence."
"Thank you!"
"Work hard! The business over on the South Bank is much better than here. It's packed every day. Just get more good stuff."
"I'm also looking forward to getting a big catch every day." Li Changle said with a smile, "A few days ago, my brother and I jointly ordered a big ship at the shipyard. After receiving the ship, I will go to the distant sea to fish. You can choose the big catch at that time."
"You're great, kid!" A Kun slapped him hard, "Uncle Kun is waiting for you to deliver the big and good stuff, so that I don't have to run so hard every day."
"Life lies in exercise. Running more is good for your health."
"That makes sense. Look at those old men and women in the village. They work hard every day but once they have nothing to do, they complain about pain here and there."
"Why not!"
The two chatted for a while before Li Changle returned to the dock with the things.
Chen Yongwei, who was guarding on the boat, saw him come back and hurried ashore to help move things.
After arriving on the boat, she gave him a sideways glance with a gossipy look on her face, "Brother, who's on that boat over there?"
Li Changle looked in the direction he was looking and saw a woman with short hair squatting on the deck with Li Asi, chatting and laughing as they sorted the fish.
Li Asi, who used to be sloppy, cut his hair into a short flat top. Compared to now, he is like a completely different person.
"This woman treats him better than Xu Xianmei does."
Li Changle curled his lips, "He can still do it now. Wait for another ten years, and when he can no longer do it, you will understand."
Li Asi and the woman felt that someone was watching them, so they turned their heads and looked over here. When they saw Li Changle and the other person, their faces suddenly changed. They stood up, jumped onto the shore, and walked towards them.
These days, if you have promiscuous relationships between men and women, you might end up in jail, or even get shot in serious cases.
When Li Changle saw Li Asi coming towards them, she also jumped onto the shore. It was not because she respected him that she went to greet him, but because she didn't want him to get on her boat and bring bad luck to the boat.
"Uncle Four, life is pretty enjoyable!"
Li Ah Si smiled awkwardly and handed him a cigarette. "Ah Le, Uncle Suan begs you, don't tell that crazy woman Xu Xianmei when you go back. Xiao Feng is no match for her."
"Tsk tsk! Xiaofeng, you're calling me so affectionately!" Li Changle didn't take his cigarette, but squinted at him and said sarcastically, "You're still the one who knows how to have fun. Young people can't compare to you."
Li Ah Si's face turned red. "You little bastard, did you hear me talking to you? Don't tell your aunt when you go back."
"Nine out of ten boat captains in the village know about your business. I don't have the time to meddle in your business."
After saying that, he ignored his reaction, jumped on the boat and said to Chen Yongwei, "Start the boat!"
"A scoundrel is a scoundrel!" Li Asi cursed as he walked towards his fishing boat.
"Brother, there is a cardboard box in the rubber bucket. Is it yours?"
"The diving equipment that Boss Gu gave me."
Chen Yongwei said with a surprised look on his face: "That's a foreign thing. I saw the maritime inspection team wearing it and swimming very fast in the sea. Boss Gu is really generous. He is willing to give away such a good thing."
"Yeah, Ah Huan said he had already got it, but I didn't expect Boss Gu to give him another set. I owe him a big favor."
