Chapter 127 The Fisheries Bureau is here?
Lin Xiangrong has been silently carrying an empty bucket, and there is only a few catties of river prawns and some fish. He is very unhappy. He was afraid that the Chinese sturgeon would die and wanted to take it back to raise, but now he only has a few catties of river shrimp and some fish. Fish, are you planning to go back now?
Although this was their goal at the beginning, if they hadn’t caught it, they wouldn’t have any gaps in their hearts. If they lost dozens of dollars, they only bought such a small amount of goods online and then went back. What’s the matter?
He kicked and followed behind, kicking the stones under his feet, only to hear a bang, and the stones fell into the river, but suddenly there were countless crackling splashes on the surface of the water, everyone was surprised Looking over, Ye Yaodong shone the flashlight over by the way.
Countless big fish came out of the water and jumped there. He raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and asked the surprised brother-in-law: "Have you caught enough fish? Do you still want to catch it?"
He didn't care much about these freshwater fish. The people on the seaside only like to eat sea fish. After releasing the Chinese sturgeon, he was a little less interested than he was at the beginning. Unexpectedly, Lin Xianghui took the flashlight in his hand and carefully picked it up. Went up to take a picture.
"It's a military fish!"
Lin Xiangrong also stepped forward in surprise, "There are so many military fish? I thought it was grass carp just now!"
"A few years ago, everyone had nothing to eat. The army fish in the river was caught too much. I haven't seen it much for a few years. I didn't expect it to be there again now, and there are so many."
Ye Yaodong listened to their discussion, a little confused, what military fish?
"Isn't this grass carp?"
Lin Xianghui smiled and said: "You are from the sea, so I don't know. This is a military fish, not a grass carp. It just looks like a grass carp and looks ordinary, but its scales are very large, several times the size of grass carp, and the price is also high." It is several times that of grass carp, and the fish meat is very tender and smooth, without any earthy smell."
He took a closer look and found that the scales were really big, but he didn't think they were too big without comparing them.
"And its scales are edible. We never scrape the scales when we eat this kind of fish." Lin Xiangrong added in a good mood.
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Can the scales be eaten?"
Forgive him for being an ignorant seasider!
"Yes, if you have a burn or scald, just smash the scales and rub it on the wound. It seems that there are a lot of these military fish. My second brother and I will go down to fish, and you can help us use the flashlight on the shore." Lin Xianghui said while taking off clothing.
"I'll go down, you guys rest for a while..."
"No, I caught a cold, my dad will beat us to death, we just go down."
The brothers jumped into the water one after another, causing a large splash of water. The river had calmed down, but now the army fish jumped up again.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to use a flashlight on the shore to help pick up the goods with a bucket. He saw that his brother-in-law caught three army fish at random.
Lin Xiangrong was more ruthless, and he caught four in one net, and put them heavily in the bucket.
The size of each of these military fish is about the same, only a few, and the bucket is almost full, but there are still many on the river, and there is no container to store it. The fish died after three or two hits on the shore. How can they be sold tomorrow morning?
Ye Yaodong thought for a while, and saw a lot of straw on the side of the road, so he simply **** the fish with bowfishing technique, so as to free up the bucket to pick up the goods.
This is a technology that helps fish breathe oxygen on land! It is a method of preserving fresh fish in Jian'ou area of Fujian Province, which has been passed down to this day.
Through the rope through the nose of the fish and tie a knot, the whole body of the fish is bent to the right to form a bow, and the other end is to tie the rope to the tail near the anus, and tie the rope tightly after tying it.
In this way, the struggle of fish can be reduced and a lot of physical strength will not be consumed.
It can also keep the air flowing in, because the gills of the fish cannot be opened on land, and the gills that are always open can ensure the free breathing of the fish, and the survival time is longer, so as to keep them fresh.
It is best to put the fish into the water or fish pond after being tied, and then the fish will spit out the silt. With this way of tying, the fish can survive longer out of the water, at least one or two days.
If it is not put into the water to spit out the sludge, the survival time will be shortened, but it will be fine if it persists until tomorrow morning. How long it can survive in the future depends on its fate.
He is very proficient in business, but no matter how fast the binding speed is, they can't keep up with their fishing speed, so they can only be squeezed first. Fortunately, the bucket is big and high enough.
He tied one and threw it aside, saving the need to carry things, and just carry it back in his hand later.
But these military fish seem to be quite a lot, and the two brothers-in-law are still fishing there desperately, and they don't know if they will be able to catch them later.
He couldn't help asking: "How much is this fish a catty? You catch so much? Is it easy to sell?"
"This fish is expensive. Now it costs 2 cents per catty, and grass carp is only 5 cents per catty. It is rare to see more fish."
"Fuck, this freshwater fish also costs 2 cents?"
No wonder, this one will cost 1 to 2 yuan, if you get 100 pieces, can you sell it for one or two hundred? Not fishing is a fool.
"Yes, some freshwater fish are not cheaper than fish in the sea. We haven't seen this fish for several years. We thought it was because there were too many factories in the past two years and the water quality was not good enough. Looking at it now, our side The water quality is okay."
"Hurry up and fish, a lot of them have swum away."
They don't care about talking now, and if they can make more money, they will get more money.
Ye Yaodong sat on the bank and was busy tying them until they swam up and down the river in a big circle, but they didn't see any military fish.
They looked at the tied fish all over the ground, and they were all very satisfied. They finally made up for the loss of the Chinese sturgeon.
"How many?"
Ye Yaodong kept his hands on and said, "See for yourself, there are dozens of them all over the floor, right?"
The two couldn't wait to count.
He shook the bucket again, and the army fish still jumped there twice, "There are probably ten in the bucket!"
At this time, Ye Yaodong suddenly thought, is there someone in the countryside to buy freshwater fish right now?
When will I sell my own snacks?
It’s not that he looks down on the purchasing power of rural people. It’s that people are generally reluctant to eat and drink, and it’s not easy to make some money. With so much, one piece is not cheap. Families with dual careers may be more willing to spend money.
The two brothers did not think of this, and they were counting excitedly. They have never caught so many military fish at one time. In the past, at best, they could catch a few when they came to fish.
Ye Yaodong couldn't bear to hit them, "There are so many, can you find a fishmonger to collect?"
The two of them frowned for a moment, and they couldn't count. It seemed that it was not easy to sell alone, but the fishmonger...
I don’t know each other either. They are ordinary peasants. In the past, they just caught a few, took them to the market and sold them in the middle of the morning.
Now that there are so many fish, they also feel that it is tricky. At that time, they only cared about the happiness of fishing.
"We don't know anyone," Lin Xianghui said after a moment of hesitation, "There is a vegetable market in the township, and there is also a farmers' market in the town. Let's sell them in several markets tomorrow and see how much we can sell."
They didn't expect to be able to catch so much at once. They just started fishing, and they didn't think so much. These fish can be stored tomorrow at most, and they may not survive the day after tomorrow. It would be a pity if they were not sold.
Lin Xiangrong's originally happy face drooped again.
"Yes, you can take it to a restaurant and ask."
The two of them suddenly looked a little better.
"Put on the clothes first, let's go back first, sell as much as you can sell tomorrow."
There are so many fish, it’s hard to carry them in your hands, and there are other shrimp pots to be picked up, so they simply sent a person back to push the cart.
After all the fish and things were loaded onto the cart, they went home.
The moods of the two brothers fluctuated a bit at night, and they were no longer in the mood to joke. They were all worried about how to sell these fish tomorrow?
Ye Yaodong is also thinking about it, but he doesn't have any good ideas other than selling it to restaurants and restaurants, so he can only wait and see tomorrow.
Lin Xianghui thought about it as he walked, and when he was almost home, he said, "Ah Dong will get up early tomorrow and help us sell it in the village. Ah Rong and I will push the cart to the town tomorrow. He sells it at the entrance of the farmer's market. I will go to the town." Let’s take a look at the restaurants and restaurants in the town, and we’ll share them together after they’ve sold the money.”
"It's okay to help you sell it in the village. If it's money, forget it. I didn't do much. You fished it in the river. I just tied the fish on the bank."
Releasing the Chinese sturgeon has already made them suffer, so forget about the money.
Lin Xiangrong said calmly: "We'll talk about it after it's sold. We don't know how much we can sell. It's too early to talk about money."
"Yes, let's go back first, it's a bit late now, and I have to get up early tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong knew that his second brother-in-law was a little upset, but there was nothing he could do about it. The Chinese sturgeon will be prohibited from being caught next year. It might be very sensitive now, so it’s better not to push the wind. They are just ordinary people.
After returning to the village, the surroundings were pitch black, and there were no lights. In order to save electricity, people in the countryside had nothing to do at night and went to bed early, and the Lin family was quiet.
Ye Yaodong entered the room in the dark under the moonlight, but when he lay down, he woke up the sleeping Lin Xiuqing.
She said in a daze, when you came back, she fell asleep again.
Maybe he was tired from walking the long distance with the baby in his arms today. Ye Yaodong originally wanted to talk to her, so he had to give up and close his eyes to sleep.
But it was not easy to fall asleep with things on his mind. It was still dark, and he heard a faint voice outside the house, and he woke up immediately.
I identified it carefully, and it seemed to be the voice of my brother-in-law. Is it time to go to the farmer's market?
He quickly put on his clothes and trousers and went out, only to see that he was talking to Father Lin.
A little confused, he thought it was the two brothers-in-law talking there.
"A Dong got up so early?"
"I got up when I heard the sound, why did dad get up so early?"
Father Lin frowned and said, "Arong is gone. I just asked his wife, and he said he left half an hour earlier."
"Ah? Where has he gone? Didn't it be agreed that he and the eldest brother will go to the town to sell fish, and I will go to the vegetable market in our village to sell. I thought it was the eldest brother and the second brother who were talking, and thought they were leaving for the morning market. "
Lin Xianghui was also very puzzled, "I don't know, I didn't say anything about a temporary change, and I don't know where he went before dawn?"
"Are you not reconciled and ran to net that Chinese sturgeon?"
"Huh? Can't you?"
Father Lin quickly asked: "What Chinese sturgeon? What happened when you went out last night?"
Lin Xianghui told Father Lin what happened last night, and Ye Yaodong went to their small woodshed to look for fishing gear, and found that they were all there, and nothing was missing.
"It's time to release the animals. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. You can't put yourself in it because of a fish." The old people are very afraid of things.
Ye Yaodong heard this as soon as he came out of the firewood room. In fact, if the policy of banning fishing was promulgated late, then he would be caught if he didn't catch it. Naturally, a large number of people would be fishing if he didn't catch it. The key is that the fishing ban will be banned next year, which means The number of fish is really very small now.
"Is all the fishing gear there?"
"Yes, he probably didn't catch that Chinese sturgeon."
"Then he ran out before dawn, where did he go?" Lin Xianghui frowned so much that he could kill a fly, but he lost his chain at a critical moment, which really **** him off.
"Leave him alone. I'll go with you to sell fish in the town. It's too late to go. It takes half an hour to go to the town. When it's dawn, the morning market will open at four o'clock."
Father Lin is very impatient. How many fish can be sold?
"Okay, let's go first."
Lin Xianghui distributed 10 pieces to Ye Yaodong. According to the purchasing power of the villagers in his village, it would be very good if he could sell half of them. He would put the rest on a cart and sell as much as he could. . He also put a bucket of live fish on the cart.
Ye Yaodong followed the cart. When they went to the town, they would pass by the vegetable market in the village, so they walked along the way, so he didn't have to carry it.
It was only early four o'clock, and it was still pitch black outside and needed a flashlight, but the vegetable market in the village was full of people, and the noise could be heard from a long distance away.
All the stalls in the vegetable market were lit with dimly lit orange light bulbs. Ye Yaodong was carrying two buckets of fish, and with a broken straw mat under his arm, he randomly found a corner and squatted down.
After spreading out the straw mats on the ground, he arranged the fish one by one on the straw mats, looked around, and hawked thick-skinned fish as the Romans did.
I have never sold fish in the market in my two lifetimes, so I feel quite novel.
The morning market is quite lively, and there are quite a lot of people who come to buy and sell things early in the morning. It’s still not bright yet, but there is already a little light in the sky.
At this moment, he was still hawking happily, looking around, and when the sun rose high, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Several hours have passed, but only 3 pieces have been sold, so they can’t sell anymore?
It's really a dog.
He threw all the fish back into the bucket, planned to roll up the mat, and went straight back.
It didn’t sell out at the busiest time of the morning market. Do you still expect to sell it soon? There are not many people left.
Just as he was rolling the mat, he heard commotion not far away and felt a lot of people talking. Out of curiosity, he swiftly rolled the mat under his armpit and followed directly with the bucket in his hand. Ask others: "What's going on? What's going on in the village?"
"I don't know! I haven't heard of it, and the radio hasn't played it."
"Just go and see."
As soon as Ye Yaodong approached the crowd, he heard the villagers discussing about the Ocean Bureau and what kind of fish they came to catch?
He was surprised. Could it be that he came to catch the Chinese sturgeon?
One more chapter, and so on. I'm writing, I suggest waiting for dawn
