Chapter 122 Good catch
The three families of Huo Yu and Zou formed a large open water area.
Seeing the fish coming towards the light, the men of the three families hurriedly cast the net down. The fishing net twirled in their hands, blooming like a flower, and then fell...
Only for a moment, the water ripples and splashes. Quickly close the net.
The net was heavy, and it took several people to work together to collect the fishing net.
Everyone was more excited than Huo Xi.
"This catch is good tonight!"
"Let's also come back and fill the warehouse!"
"Yes, the fish at night are very big!"
"That's right, we caught a lot of five catties or more tonight, and dozens of ten catties or more!" Uncle Zou and Grandma Zou couldn't close their mouths.
The two old men rarely arrest at night, and they are reluctant to light so many torches. There is only one single seedling left in the family, and I will row back to Hong Kong as soon as it gets dark.
At this time, seeing Yang’s tung oil have been moved out of several jars, I feel distressed.
"I burned a lot of gas money tonight."
Yang comforted: "It's okay, the night is still long, and we can catch a lot tonight. We can sell it for fourteen to five yuan a catty, and only a catty of fish money is worth a catty of copper oil." gone."
"Yes, yes, yes." Yu Jiang and the others were very happy when they heard that.
Watching the fish flopping about in the water tanks of each family, and calculating how much fish money I can share this night, I was very happy.
"Little Huo Xi, do the math for uncle. When can uncle change to a big ship like yours?"
Everyone looked at Huo Xi.
Huo Xi began to help him calculate seriously: "Uncle Yu, this time, the more than one hundred bolts of linen brought back from Huai'an are estimated to earn five or six taels. You can at least share one or two taels of silver for the fish we have today." .If we download Yewang for three consecutive days, you can change to a boat that is bigger than my old boat."
Like her family's current boat, it is estimated that they will save more.
Yu Jiang was very happy after hearing this: "Uncle, just change to a boat as big as yours before."
"Then you only need to sell the linen for 1.5 cents, and you can exchange it for another one."
"Haha, that's great! The uncle will borrow little Xi'er's good words, and when the money is sold, the uncle will also change another one and bring your sister and sister together!"
"Okay, I will take them to play together then."
"Okay, that's okay!"
Yu Jiang was full of anticipation. In Huai'an before, Huo's family got some silver from those two gatekeepers, and he also got more than one tael, which he saved and hasn't moved. After changing the ship, the family will have money to live on. No matter how cold the winter is, it will definitely survive.
My heart was filled with hope for an instant, and my movements became more powerful.
Working all night until the sky became clear, the three families put out the torches and collected the nets.
Huo Xi and the others were already sound asleep in the cabins of each family.
Huo Erhuai, Yu Jiang and Uncle Zou rowed the boat towards the city, picked the fish to the Huibin Building in the inner city, sold it for a good price, and rowed the boat back, Huo Xi was still asleep.
I didn't wake up until I was hungry.
"Mom, why did we stop at Taoyedu?"
Ms. Yang responded in a low voice: "Your father and your Uncle Yu both need to catch up on sleep, so they rowed the boat back to Taoyedu."
Huo Xi was stunned for a moment, pricked up his ears to listen, and when Huo Erhuai next door heard a lot of snoring, he smiled at Yang Shi.
"Mom, don't you catch up on sleep?"
"Mother was sleepy this morning. Why don't you sleep more?" After speaking, she pulled Huo Xi and looked at her, feeling a little distressed. The child was still young, and he was arrested at night with the adults. After staying up half the night, his eyes were still black and blue.
"After three days of fish are delivered to the Huibin Building, we will stop fishing at night."
"It's okay, mother, I'm recovering."
Having said that, Mrs. Yang no longer intends to let the two children follow them into night arrests. In the future, if you can not arrest at night, you will not arrest at night. The family now runs a grocery store on the water, and they earn much more than they did just by fishing.
Seeing that Mrs. Yang was making lunch, Huo Xi also followed to help.
After a while, Yang Fu also got up, and he almost followed the net until the early morning. At this time, I was still in a daze.
Wiping his hands on his eyes, he asked Yang: "Sister, how much did my brother-in-law sell the fish for? How much does the family get?"
Huo Xi and Yang couldn't help laughing.
Ms. Yang twisted a handkerchief to wipe his face, and laughed at him: "You are almost getting into the eyes of money. You are dreaming about copper coins."
Yang Fu also nodded seriously: "I dreamed that our family bought a lot of fields, and the grain harvest was too much, and there was no place to dry it. It was about to be wet, so I was very worried."
Huo Xi let out a chuckle, Yang Shi was also overjoyed, and patted him: "Do you need to worry? If we really have more food than we can dry, why worry?"
"Why don't you worry? If you can't get in the sun and get damp, won't it be broken?"
Yang and Huo Xi only thought that he was still obsessed with sleep, and couldn't help laughing.
Yang Fu took the veil and wiped it on his face, he came back to life, and smiled silly at Huo Xi and Yang Shi.
Seeing that the two children were both thinking about it, Yang said: "We originally picked out some small ones, and we wanted to pick them up on Yushi Street, but unexpectedly Huibin Building took them all. The price was 20% higher than the market price. Yu's family and The Zou family all got one, two, nine, and our family got two shares. You Uncle Yu and Uncle Zou said that the copper oil was from our family, and insisted that our family share two."
Yang Fu jumped up with joy when he heard that his family got nearly four taels of fish money in one night.
Huo Xi glanced at the boat of Yu Jiang and Zou's family, saw that it was quiet, and said to Yang Shi: "Mother, let's make lunch for the two of them together?"
"Okay. Mother just did theirs."
The three of them had lunch first, and asked Yang to go to sleep. Huo Xi hugged Huo Nian and watched Yang Fu mend the fishnet.
After a while, Aunt Zou and Zou Sheng woke up first. They were going to make lunch, but seeing that Huo Xi made it for them, they refused, so they took it with embarrassment: "Why is it so hard for your family to help cook it?" Lunch."
Open it, there are chicken and duck meat, vegetables, fish, and salted duck eggs.
This meal is too good.
"Thank you Uncle Yu and Grandpa Zou for your help last night. We have to work together these two days. I have a lot of family members, so making meals is just a matter of convenience."
Auntie Zou and Zou Sheng were grateful and kept it in their hearts. After eating, he also sat on the bow of the boat to mend the fishing nets.
At noon, Yu Jiang and Uncle Zou Huo Erhuai also woke up. After lunch, they rowed the boat to the mouth of the Yangtze River together.
Three consecutive nights of arrest like this, both the Yu family and the Zou family got nearly six taels of silver.
The two families couldn't believe their eyes when they faced a purse full of scattered silver and copper plates.
"In the past three days, how did you get so much silver?"
Huo Erhuai and Yang's also couldn't close their mouths with smiles at more than a dozen taels of silver: "We have caught a lot of fish these days, and the price is expensive." In these three days, they have earned an acre of good land. very nice!
Yu Jiang was also pleasantly surprised: "I don't need to sell the linen I bought, so I have the money to buy a bigger boat?"
Everyone was also happy for Yu Jiang: "Yes, this time you can go back to your hometown and bring your wife and daughter!"
