Chapter 244 Shocked
By the time he hurriedly asked Ah Cai to borrow a bicycle and found a tractor, the shore was already surrounded by people on the third and third floors.
"Let's make room, let's make room..."
No need to think about it, the news must have spread that they caught the oarfish, and the villagers on the shore were all waiting to watch the fun.
Ye Yaodong was about to squeeze through the crowd when he was grabbed by Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng.
"Damn it... Dongzi, you are here, and I was about to find you. Where did you catch the oarfish?"
"Yeah, where did you catch it? Fuck, it's so big, it almost blinded me."
The villagers next to him also surrounded him and asked, "How many meters is that oarfish? It looks so long. Where did you catch it?"
"I just heard that it's called Earthquake Fish..."
"Is there an earthquake coming here?"
"I heard that it might be a tsunami..."
Everyone gathered around him, asking a lot of questions. It happened to be the time when the fishing boat docked. Except for the early morning, this was the busiest time on the pier, and there were people everywhere.
Ye Yaodong's ears were buzzing from everyone's words and questions, he quickly raised his hands, "Wait, wait, let me lift the fish to the shore first, everyone cooperate, let's make room... "
"Oh... Let it go... Let it go...You guys let A Dong pass first..."
"The one in front gives way... Ah Dong is here..."
Ye Yaodong finally squeezed his way through the crowd and climbed onto the boat, and Little Ah Zheng and the others followed suit.
There were already several villagers on the boat who were close to his father discussing there, as well as several relatives of his family. Ah Cai was also measuring the length at close range.
Just right, he also wanted to know how many meters away, Ye Yaodong hurried forward to help.
"Are you ready? How many meters?"
"6 meters 3, what the hell, your oarfish is amazing. There hasn't been one in the past few decades. May I contact the seller for you?" A Cai looked at him eagerly.
"Didn't my dad tell you? I'm going to send it to the pier in the town to alert everyone and see if there are any bids?"
"Oh, I said it, didn't I want to ask you? How easy it is for me to contact the buyer directly..."
"Take the goods on the boat first. There is also a parrotfish. I have to send this oarfish to the town."
Sending it to the pier is more eye-catching, more sensational, and more people know about it. If it is widely advertised, there must be more bosses bidding than he has contacted. He does not trade at a loss!
Ye Yaodong said while beckoning the two friends to carry it together, and the others also joined hands after seeing this.
Oh my god, this is the first time I have seen such a big oarfish in my life! Of course you have to raise your hand!
Father Ye has already touched it countless times, and now he will stay on the ship to watch the goods, and it will not be too late for him to slowly move the goods and weigh them after sending them away.
A Cai hurriedly followed and said: "That's just my hand, let me weigh it, everyone is still wondering how many catties this oarfish weighs."
"Okay."
"I'll ask someone to bring the scale out first."
The width of the oarfish's body almost catches up with the width of an adult's body, and its size is scary.
Seven or eight people slowly walked down from the boat carrying the fish body. In fact, it didn’t take so many people, but everyone was very curious and wanted to help.
Ye Yaodong is a bit pity, if only he had a camera, take a photo and record it, this is his rare highlight moment.
"Everyone, let's go, let's go..."
"Let's step aside, let's bring the fish ashore..."
"Boom~ Such a big hairtail, I have never seen such a big hairtail in my life."
"It's said to be oarfish, but you still have octopus... This is earthquake fish... It's so rare..."
"My God...it's so big...so long...I've never seen it before..."
"Is it true that there will be an earthquake? Or a tsunami? Then the next few days will not be peaceful?"
Ah Cai greeted the onlookers, and helped to lift the scale out from the inside, and placed it on the open space at the door.
Fearing that the fish would be too long to weigh, he took a wide broken wooden board and placed it on top of the scale, which would be easier to weigh.
The crowd automatically flashed a way, and everyone gathered the long oarfish into several circles and put it on the wooden board for weighing.
Everyone gathered in front of them, all stretching their heads out to watch Ah Cai adding weights one by one. He fiddled with the scales until the scales began to float, and only when the scales were swinging back and forth in the middle did he say excitedly: "Damn it!" , 202 catties and 4 taels, the horse is so big, it is heavier than the big dragon group weighed a few days ago."
The villagers were in an uproar, and the crowd also burst into exclamation one after another.
Ye Yaodong quickly reminded him, "There are boards, and the weight of the boards must be deducted!"
"I know, I know, you moved the fish away first, and you lifted the fish up before you had time to weigh the planks."
Ah Cai waited for them to remove the fish, then took down all the weights, and then put on a five-jin one and a one-jin one.
"The board deducted exactly 6 catties, and the fish weighed 196 catties and 4 taels."
Everyone is so excited, maybe people from other villages came to see it, and it would make people think that they all caught it together...
"Okay, I've measured it, I've weighed it, let's hurry up and get in the car."
Amidst the discussions among the villagers, and with the help of everyone, the group lifted the oarfish to the tractor, and then rolled it up several times before putting it on top. Ye Yaodong jumped onto the tractor right after him, and stood carefully in the gap , do not step on it.
By the way, he called little Ah Zheng and the others to come up together. Of course, such a big fish needs a few more people to help.
There are many people, and of course they are stronger than a single-handed horse.
What if you encounter something unreasonable?
"Dongzi, let your two cousins go too? If there are more people, you can move around, and you can help if you have something to do." Ye Mu felt that there were a little less of them, and the eldest son and the second son went to sea. When she came back, she was going to call her two nephews to help.
"Okay, I'm going to ask my two cousins to go with me."
Others were also a little eager to try and follow to watch the fun, but they didn't open their mouths, and they were embarrassed to follow.
After everyone stood on the vehicle, the tractor began to turn around, and the villagers cooperated to get out of the way. Just as the tractor was about to drive away, there was another call from behind.
"Wait, Dongzi, wait for me, I haven't gotten in the car yet..."
Ye Yaodong heard the words and looked over. It was Ah Guang who was squeezing through the crowd. He hurriedly asked the tractor master to stop first.
"Did you just come back?"
Ah Guang ran forward quickly, put one hand on the tractor, and then jumped on it.
"Damn it, it's really that big? I didn't believe it when your father said it on the boat, it's really big..."
He touched the head of the fish while talking, "How many catties and how many meters does this one weigh?"
"6 meters 3, 196 catties and 4 taels."
"I'm an idiot, and I got rich again. How did I catch it? How come I haven't encountered such a good thing? It seems that I still have to hang out with you?"
Ye Yaodong grinned happily and said, "I found it on the surface of the sea when I was going to collect the longline, but I didn't know what it was at the time, but it looked a bit strange under the water surface, so I sailed to follow. ..."
He briefly told everyone in the car about the oarfish passing by, and everyone couldn't help but secretly scolded him for his **** luck.
They also work at sea, why don't they have such an adventure? He was the first to do any good thing, and he was half-dead in anger.
"Made, take me to the island you met tomorrow and see if you can pick one up for me too?" A Guang said enviously.
"Give us one each!"
"Fuck, are you guys dreaming?"
"I haven't even heard of oarfish? If I saw it, I might just ignore it, but you can still follow it."
Ye Yaodong said triumphantly: "So today I will give you a lesson. When you encounter strange things at sea, you'd better follow them and have a look. If you are afraid of danger, you don't have to follow so close. Maybe you will find something different. .”
"Really."
I had a toothache for half a month. I lost a quarter of my big tooth yesterday. My tongue was scratched and I felt so uncomfortable. I have been out of shape today and I can’t concentrate. I will go to the hospital tomorrow.
Those who owe more will repay the debt after my teeth are healed...
