Chapter 328: Seafarers Exchange Their Lives for Money

At this time, Li Xiaoyang also came with a lunch box. Seeing that the two were busy, he handed the lunch box to Li Changle and was ready to leave.

Li Changle pulled him, "Where are your father and the others?"

"Help the fish farmers at home to dry the dried fish. I'll ask you and Uncle Wei to bring back a load of fish when you return."

"Okay." Li Changle let go of him, and was stopped by the boss with a beer belly: "Boss Ale, when Brother Zhou came back yesterday, I knew there was a big catch, but I didn't expect it to be so much. Big ships always catch a lot."

"It's really rare to have such good luck as Ah Le. I heard that the big steel boats of 30 to 40 meters on the south bank can't catch so many good catches in one trip."

Old Li narrowed his eyes and smiled, thinking that one had to be thick-skinned to do business. In the past, he was too thin-skinned and many good goods were snatched away by that shameless boy Adong.

We must continue to develop this practice in the future, so that we won’t be afraid of not being able to get good stuff.

"There are several fishing villages near Tuxia Bridge. Brother Zhou Lao Da was good at shipping in the past. Now Chen Amao from their village is not bad either, as is Jin Xingdeng... Boss Wang from Shatou Village is also okay. Now it seems that none of them can catch up with Boss A Le."

"..."

Several bosses were flattering and praising Li Changle without asking for money, and he felt his ears burning from listening to them.

He doesn't think he is better than the people they mentioned. He thinks that the people they mentioned have real abilities and are worthy of admiration.

People like him should be blessed by gods, and they work with cheats, so they have more opportunities to gain wealth than them.

Li Changle stepped forward and uncovered the thick cotton wool, revealing the deep-sea fish covered in ice, including grouper, yellowfin bream, black sea bream, and red sea bream. "Adong, the smallest of these four baskets weighs more than two kilograms.

And this pile, with swordfish, tuna, marlin, swordfish, mackerel, all weighing more than 50 kilograms. That pile weighs more than 100 kilograms, and those weigh more than 150 kilograms. "

After several bosses squatted down and took a look, they became more and more excited. Now, with so many large items, they don’t have to worry about not being able to distribute them evenly.

After Chen Dong looked through the baskets, he said to Li Changle, "Brother Ale, the prices of these four baskets of fish are quite different if they are alive or dead. For example, we charge two yuan for yellowfin bream if it is alive, and one yuan and two cents for dead. As for black porgy... the price difference is almost half."

"Okay, these are at the price you said." Li Changle pointed at the large goods, "Where are these goods!"

Chen Dong said, "For large items weighing more than 50 kilograms, 9 cents a kilogram. For items weighing more than 100 kilograms, 1 yuan. For items weighing more than 150 kilograms, 1.2 yuan."

Li Changle smiled and shook his head. "I don't want you to add much either. Just increase the price by a dime for each item and we'll make the deal."

Chen Dong exchanged glances with the bosses and nodded, "Okay, I'll take your price." He walked towards another pile of fish that was still covered with cotton wool, "Brother, what kind of fish is that? How big are they?"

"In this pile, there is a bluefin tuna weighing more than 200 kilograms, five weighing less than 100 kilograms, and two weighing more than 100 kilograms. There is also a marlin weighing more than 200 kilograms, and a yellowfin tuna weighing more than 300 kilograms."

After hearing this, several people lifted the cotton wool and saw the fish below. Their eyes turned green. "We have to kill the armored carp as hard as possible. There are so many deep-sea big fish hidden here!"

"Look, there are three baskets of top-quality hairtail fish and two baskets of large white pomfret!"

Old Li was extremely envious, "Ah Le, you can earn enough money to buy a boat with this one trip! For people who are good at shipping, going out to sea is like picking up money!"

"Uncle Li!" Li Changle smiled bitterly, "You are also from a fishing village, you should know that fishermen are exchanging their lives for money.

When I encountered heavy rain, strong winds and huge waves at sea in the middle of the night yesterday, I had to fight the sea for my life, thinking that my wife, children and mother were waiting for me at home.

Seeing that the weather was not right, I felt relieved only after the ship arrived at the dock. "

Chen Yongwei took over and said, "I am very happy to sell it at the dock. We were on the boat last night and a big wave hit us, and the tables and chairs in the cabin slid back and forth on the deck.

People lying on the bed and holding on to the handles were shaken off. Grandpa kept praying to the boat dragon, the sea dragon and the gods to protect us in surviving the big waves.

Ah Cheng vomited so much that he even vomited jaundice water, and said that if he had known it would be so hard and scary, he would not have come to the big ship to make a living.

Old Li's face turned red, "That's right, fishermen are exchanging their lives for money."

Chen Dong nodded heavily, "Brother Ale is right, the fishermen have to be tough enough to get their money back."

The fat boss also nodded, "As the old saying goes, when the boat reaches Langgang Mountain, it is very difficult to see your wife and children. If you do a good job, you can grab the silver with both hands, but if you do a bad job, the boat will capsize and you will be in trouble. Fishing at sea is not a good job."

"Yes, yes, I just couldn't stand the hardship of fishing, so I switched to collecting and selling seafood." Old Li replied embarrassedly.

"Let's not talk about these unhappy things." Li Changle took out cigarettes and passed them around. "We are already at the dock, exchanging fish for money. We should be happy."

"Yes, we should be happy!" Chen Dong pulled Li Changle and pointed at the large goods and asked, "Brother, what are the prices of these goods?"

Li Changle apologized, "Adong, I'm sorry, we have to wait for Uncle Kun to come and see these before we can sell them."

"Okay, you have the final say." This was agreed upon before receiving the goods, and Chen Dong had nothing to say about it.

"Brother, Uncle Kun is here." Chen Yongwei said happily.

A few people turned around and saw A Kun trotting onto the boat. He apologized and cupped his fists towards everyone, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm late and kept you waiting for a long time."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The ship left just as I arrived at the dock. I was delayed for more than half an hour, but luckily I made it in time."

"Not too late, not too late, we just got here too!" Several bosses smiled flatteringly. Phoenix Restaurant was also their god of wealth, and they liked to send rare and good goods to him. Ah Kun smiled and exchanged a few polite words with a few people, and happily patted Li Changle on the shoulder, "Great harvest, great success on the maiden voyage!"

"Thank you, Uncle Kun!" Li Changle said to Chen Yongwei, "Ah Wei, you and A Dong weigh together, I want to talk to Uncle Kun."

"Okay!" Chen Yongwei, Chen Dong and Lao Li got busy.

Li Changle took A Kun to the cabin, "Uncle Kun, I hid more than 100 kilograms of crab roe, more than 10 kilograms of butter crab, more than 100 kilograms of sea cucumbers, two or three hundred purple sea urchins, and more than 100 kilograms of top-quality abalone."

Ah Kun's eyes lit up after hearing this, "I want all of these."

"There is also a big fish weighing more than 60 kilograms..."

"Big fish?"

Surprises came one after another. A Kun excitedly pulled Li Changle and asked, "Could it be a hairy catfish?"

"That's right!" Li Changle grinned happily, "If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have taken it out. I'll take the goods out after you've picked them out."

"Good boy, you are so loyal!" A Kun patted him happily, "I want all these you said, don't worry about the price, uncle will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Uncle Kun!" Li Changle said as he opened the cabin. He saw several plastic buckets on the bed and a large bamboo basket on the floor. The cabin was filled with cold air.

Ah Kun lifted a corner of the cotton wool and touched the hairtail in the bamboo basket. "In the 1970s, whenever the fishing season came, we would catch fish weighing hundreds of kilograms. Now, even fish this big are hard to find."

"My father also said that in the past, he could catch katydids by just listening to their chirping while lying in the cabin, but now even the chirping has disappeared."

"Even if there is, it's hard to find it!" A Kun said as he went to the bed and looked at the bucket on it. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed and danced with joy.

"Wow, there are so many good things. Where did you go diving to get them?"

Li Changle was also very happy. The most valuable items were the remaining goods. "I found some while diving. The sea cucumbers were mainly caught by trawling this morning."

"You can even catch good stuff with a trawling net!" A Kun patted Li Changle, "No wonder our boss says you are so lucky."

Boss Gu also said that if you work with lucky people, things will go smoothly for your partners.

"Boss Gu, thank you for the compliment." Li Changle closed the door and followed him out. "Uncle, there are still three baskets of top-quality large hairtail fish... There are more than a thousand kilograms of good stuff in the live hold. Can you use it all?"

Ah Kun smiled and nodded, "I want all the hairtail and big white pomfret, half of the big ones, and 300 to 400 kilograms of the good ones in the live hold, and the rest will be left to Mr. Yan of Haimen Yanji Seafood Store.

Before I came to your place, he was delivering goods to the restaurant. He heard that you had good and large goods, so he insisted that I help him get some back. As for your sister's shop, we'll talk about it after I'm done with it."

"Okay! Sit down for a while. I'll go over there and help Ah Wei weigh his weight."

"I'll help you." A Kun followed him to the deck.

"Okay!" Li Changle and A Kun went back, and Chen Yongwei handed him the list, "Brother, you keep the accounts, and I'll help move the goods."

"Uncle Kun, please help me take note of it!" Li Changle handed the list to A Kun again.

Four baskets of miscellaneous fish, including grouper and yellowfin croaker, weighing a total of 315 kilograms, were sold for a total of yuan.

There were 2096 kilograms of large goods weighing more than 1936 kilograms, which were sold for a total of yuan; there were kilograms of large goods weighing more than kilograms, which were sold for a total of yuan.

The goods weighing more than 2520 kilograms totaled exactly 6867 kilograms and were sold for a total of yuan. The total amount for this batch of goods was yuan.

After the cargo was weighed, Chen Dong took Ah San and a few men on board, unloaded the cargo and started loading it onto the truck.

Several bosses said goodbye to Li Changle and A Kun, got off the boat and went to Chen's to divide the fish.

Chen Dong went home and brought back a big bag. He took out the list and handed it to Li Changle, "Brother Le, add the 12359 here, the total is 19226 yuan. Can you calculate it? Is it correct?"

Li Changle took the list from Chen Dong and nodded, "That's right!"

Chen Dong took out the brand new Great Unity, which still smelled of ink, from his bag in bundles. "One bundle is exactly one thousand yuan. Please count them."

"Okay!" Li Changle took the money, counted it quickly, handed it over to Chen Dong, and sent him off the boat.

Chen Dong thought about it and said, "Brother, Uncle Kun wants all the remaining big stuff?"

"Want them all!"

"Boss Gu's business is booming, making a fortune every day."

"You're not bad either, but it's a pity that I don't have a little sister."

"I wouldn't dare to do that even though I have a younger sister. You have four brothers and I'm afraid of getting beaten!" Chen Dong waved with a smile and helped push the cart towards the seafood.
