my golden fishing village

Chapter 4 Uncle Li's Envy

"Big yellow croaker! Still such a big big yellow croaker!"

Chen Fan no longer knew what to say.

Large yellow croaker, as the name suggests, is almost yellow all over, the upper part of the body is yellowish brown, the lower part is golden yellow, the dorsal fin is light yellowish brown, the caudal fin is light yellowish brown, the buttocks and pectoral fins are bright yellow, and it inhabits the sandy mud bottom of the coast and offshore In waters, it feeds on crustaceans such as small fish and shrimps and crabs.

Wild large yellow croakers are very expensive. The size of 3 taels is 150 yuan per catty, the size of 4 taels costs about 280 yuan per catty, the size of 5 taels costs 380 yuan per catty, and the size of 6 to 7 taels costs 550 yuan per catty. The price of 8 taels is 9 yuan per catty. The bigger the fish, the more expensive it is.

This large yellow croaker was nearly [-] centimeters long and estimated to be about two catties.

Based on the market price, it is not difficult to sell a catty of thousands of dollars, which means that this large yellow croaker is considered cheap at 2000 yuan.

Some people may say, isn’t it just a big yellow croaker, why is it so expensive?
Really.

First, wild large yellow croaker meat is delicious and has extremely high medical value.

Its swim bladder can be dried to make the famous and precious food "fish maw" and "yellow fish glue".In addition, the liver of large yellow croaker contains vitamin A, which can be used as cod liver oil.

Second, rare things are more expensive. Wild yellow croakers have been sought after by people because of their good taste and rich nutritional value. After a long period of overfishing, wild large yellow croakers have become very rare, and ordinary people can’t buy them at all. , can only go to the restaurant to try something new.

However, farmed yellow croakers do not have such a good effect, which in turn leads to wild yellow croakers becoming more and more expensive.

Two 3000 yuan came in again...

Chen Fan swallowed, untied the net from the large yellow croaker, and continued to pull the net. More than half of the net was already pulled in, and he didn't know what surprises were waiting for him next.

It seems that good luck ran out, and I pulled for five or sixty meters in a row, but got nothing.

Chen Fan let out a long sigh of relief. First, there was the big lobster, then the big coconut snail, and then the big yellow croaker, which made him suffocate several times.

"Ok?"

The next moment, Chen Fan obviously felt his hands sink, and there was a big deal?

Very heavy!

Chen Fan's heart tightened again, this feeling was heavier than a coconut snail.

"Rice fish!"

The next moment, Chen Fan blurted out.

The rice fish on the fishing net is more than one meter long!I'm afraid it weighs twelve to three catties. Even ten years ago, Chen Fan had never seen a fisherman catch such a big rice fish.

The rice fish looks like a perch in appearance, with a dark gray-brown body with purple-green color, gray-white abdomen, black upper edge of dorsal fin spines, and a longitudinal black stripe in the center of the fin rays.

Rice and fish meat are delicious and are one of the commercial fish species in the sea. They are also fish with high economic value. In addition to being eaten fresh, the meat is the best raw material for making fish balls and fish noodles. The swim bladder can be used to make isinglass, which has a high It has medicinal value, nourishing the blood, nourishing the kidneys, moistening the lungs, strengthening the spleen and anti-inflammatory effects.

At the market price, a catty can be sold for fifty or sixty, and twelve or three catties is worth at least six or seven hundred.

Very good.

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Fan's mouth, he put the rice fish in the cabin, and continued to pull the fishing net.

But in the last tens of meters of fishing nets, nothing was found.

at this time.

"Gu..."

Chen Fan's stomach growled.

"It's almost five o'clock..."

Chen Fan glanced at the time, and felt a surge of exhaustion.

For four or five hours, he didn't even have lunch, and with the time of lowering and pulling the net, he was so hungry that his heart was pressed against his back.

In addition, it's getting late, and parents will worry if they don't go back.

Fortunately, the big harvest, two wild lobsters, worth 300 yuan, big black sea bream, 6000 yuan, large coconut snails, worth about [-] yuan, large yellow croaker, at least [-] yuan, plus the largest rice fish, six or seven Hundreds, a total of more than [-] yuan.

More than 6000 yuan, which is equivalent to three months of my salary...

Chen Fan licked his lips.

The weather is so hot, it's time to install an air conditioner at home. In such a hot weather, the electric fan blows hotter and hotter. Not to mention myself, even my parents can hardly sleep. The refrigerator is old, and the effect of cooling and insurance is much worse. , it’s better to buy a brand new electric car for Dad. His second-hand car can’t ride very far. Every time he arrives at the construction site, he has to recharge the battery. Mother should also buy some new clothes. The family’s...

oops.

Chen Fan smiled wryly, how could the money be insufficient?
Forget it, let’s ignore this, it turns out that this misty sea area is rich in fish resources, and if we catch another net, the harvest will be even better.

But Chen Fan's physical strength no longer supports him to do this.

Moreover, he had to go back and tell the villagers about this good thing.

About 10 minutes later, Chen Fan arrived at the pier and happened to run into a fishing boat that had just dropped anchor.

"Xiao Fan?"

When Li Dahua raised his head, a smile appeared on his dark and vicissitudes face, "How about the catch?"

"good."

Chen Fan smiled sheepishly.

"is it?"

When Chen Fan said that, Li Dahua became curious instead. He floated on the sea for a day, and at noon he drank some porridge with dried radish. What happened? Two or three small sardines almost made him die of anger.

Chen Fan said it was okay, but he wanted to see how it was okay.

He walked directly to Chen Fan's boat and looked into the barrel first.

Looking at it, the eyeballs almost popped out!
"This, this is big! Big lobster?"

His voice trembled, he pointed into the bucket, and looked at Chen Fan, unable to believe it.

"Yes."

Chen Fan had expected his expression and laughed inwardly.

"Or two?"

Li Dahua still couldn't believe it.

"Well, two."

Chen Fan nodded.

"S..."

Li Dahua gasped. He had never inhaled so deeply in decades of smoking.

After a while, he woke up with a start, his eyes glowed, and he stared at Chen Fan, "My dear, two big lobsters, Xiao Fan, you are rich!"

Such a big lobster is still wild, and the purchase price in the town is at least four hundred!
In Qingshui Village, no one has caught a big lobster for five or six years.

"Uncle Li, there is something else."

Chen Fan smiled mysteriously and pointed to the cabin.

"and also?"

Li Dahua's heart was pounding.

He walked to the edge of the cabin, looked inside, and his legs went weak. If it weren't for Chen Fan's quick eyesight and quick hands, the former would have fallen down.

"Uncle Li, be careful!"

Chen Fan was taken aback, with lingering fears in his heart.

"Big yellow croaker... Big yellow croaker... How could there be such a big big yellow croaker... How is it possible?"

But Uncle Li ignored it and kept repeating the three words "big yellow croaker".

"No! In addition to large yellow croaker, there are also rice fish! My darling, such a big rice fish must weigh more than ten pounds, right?"

"S... Good guy! Such a big coconut snail? I have been fishing for so many years, but I have never seen such a big coconut snail!"

As for the big black snapper, he ignored it.

Uncle Li let out a series of exclamations and quickly came back to his senses. His eyes were red and he was staring at Chen Fan. There was shock, envy, anxiety, and more of longing in his eyes. "Xiao Fan, where did you catch these?" Arrived? Far sea?"
