Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea
Chapter 20 Picking up eggs
As soon as the WeChat call was connected, Chen Weiqiang, who had been in the Air Force for many years, immediately asked anxiously:
"You went to the outermost rocky beach of the village this morning to fish, right?"
"Yeah, didn't grandpa say that was your and his secret base? Can't you even recognize it?" Chen Zhiyao teased him with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go back early in the evening." Chen Weiqiang was very excited at this time and wanted to fly back to fish immediately.
Seeing that his father's mind was on fishing, Chen Zhiyao quickly got to the point:
"I'm planning to set up traps at the rocky beach. Dad, can you help me get 10 traps from the store?"
"Okay, what size do you want?"
Chen Zhiyao went to the store to help out before, and remembers that there was a medium-sized ground trap with a diameter of 50 cm and a 20-meter-long rope that sold well.
So I asked him to bring 10 back when he got off work.
This type of ground trap is relatively small, the purchase price is 22 yuan each, and the selling price is 30 yuan each.
As soon as she hung up the WeChat call, Chen Zhiyao transferred 300 yuan to her father.
Chen Weiqiang originally didn't intend to take the money, but when he thought about how his daughter had made a lot of money from fishing recently, he happily took the money.
Even a small amount of money is still meat, at least there is a profit of 80 yuan.
Although the pier was deserted at this time, there were still two small stalls selling fish, but they were all small, worthless fish.
Chen Zhiyao spent 15 yuan to buy a small pile of small fish that were no longer very fresh.
If these small fish are left until night, they will probably become tasteless.
However, these small fish are placed in the ground trap as bait. They have a stronger smell and are just right for attracting small creatures in the sea.
Although there was no seafood hunting today, the income was still good. Chen Zhiyao came to a small shop selling roast meat in a good mood.
This shop doesn't look very attractive, and it doesn't even have a sign, but their roast duck and poached chicken taste quite good.
I heard that my family has been specializing in roast meat for generations, and there is always a long queue in front of the store every day.
The store opens at 4pm every day and usually sells out by around 6:pm.
Moreover, the chickens used for their poached chicken are raised by Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen.
It was only 3:40 at this time, and there were already a few elderly people at the door chatting and waiting for the door to open.
Chen Zhiyao stands out among a group of kind-looking elderly people.
An old lady enthusiastically pulled her aside to chat, and kept asking her if she had a boyfriend, saying that she wanted to introduce her grandson to her.
Chen Zhiyao was so scared that she shook her head and quickly lied that she already had a boyfriend.
Fortunately, the door of the shop finally opened at this time, and a large group of grandparents gathered around.
Chen Zhiyao walked slowly behind and bought half a boiled chicken and half a roast duck.
You’ll get tired of eating seafood every day, so it’s a good time to change your taste.
It was only 4: when I got home with the boiled chicken and roast duck.
The house was quiet at this time. Only Ah Huang heard the noise and came out to greet her, jumping and wagging his big tail.
Chen Zhiyao put the things in her hand in the kitchen, then played with Ah Huang for a while and got up and went out.
At this time, her grandparents should be feeding chickens and shrimps at the old house, and she planned to go over to help.
On a country road, Chen Zhiyao was humming a little tune and walking slowly. The breeze gently caressed her face, making her feel cozy and comfortable.
Not far away is his own shrimp pond. The breeze blows across the surface of the water, making it sparkle. Further behind is a lush green orchard.
The sounds of birds singing and chickens crowing blend together. Behind you are two-story buildings arranged in an orderly manner, and the air is filled with the smell of fireworks.
This is a scenery not found in big cities, full of warmth and tranquility.
Seeing the grandfather feeding shrimps, Chen Zhiyao took two steps at a time and walked over quickly.
But she arrived a little late, and at this time Grandpa Chen just threw the last bucket of feed in his hand into the shrimp pond.
"Grandpa, my dad said he's going fishing tonight. I'll catch some prawns for bait."
Speaking of fishing, the old man immediately became excited and caught two kilograms of shrimps with a smile.
"The fishing is good today, so we'll go back early." The old man was full of confidence and planned to catch a few more big fish in the evening.
Chen Zhiyao quickly handed over the small bucket next to her and talked about the trap.
"I asked my dad to bring back 10 traps, and when we went fishing at night, we just put the traps there."
"There are a lot of snails in the nearby creek. I'll catch some and bring them back for you as bait."
As he said this, the old man rolled up his trouser legs and walked to a clear stream not far away.
Chen Zhiyao thought about the small miscellaneous fish she had just bought, which probably weighed only about 7 or 8 kilograms and might not be enough.
So he rolled up his trouser legs and planned to catch snails with the old man, but before he got close, he was sent back by his grandfather.
"You don't have water shoes on, so don't come down. Girls shouldn't get too wet, or you'll catch a cold. Your grandma is picking eggs in the orchard, so go over there and help her."
The old man was doing this for her own good. Chen Zhiyao nodded obediently, then said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll go help grandma pick up eggs and go back early to cook. I'll try to go fishing early, because I didn't fish enough at noon."
Having just caught a 15-pound bass in the morning, Chen Zhiyao is very interested in fishing.
Although it doesn’t count as points, the money earned is real.
The Chen family’s orchard is just behind the old house. It covers a total area of seven acres, half of which is planted with lychees and the other half is planted with mangoes.
These fruit trees have only been planted for two and a half years, and they haven't borne fruit yet, but they look lush and green, and the scenery is nice.
The orchard is surrounded by barbed wire, and there is a fence in the middle, dividing the orchard into two.
There are about 200 hens on the left. They are raised with feed and can be slaughtered in about four or five months. They are specially raised for the barbecue shops in the town.
Although these chickens are fed feed, they are free-range chickens and are not given any weird drugs. The meat tastes quite good.
The one on the right is a genuine free-range chicken that was raised on corn and millet.
However, chickens raised on a diet of grains grow slowly and need to be raised for more than half a year before they can be eaten, so there are only about 120 of them.
Among them, 80 are young and tender chickens, most of which were ordered by wealthy bosses in the fishing group of Chen Weiqiang’s store.
There are also 40 old hens that lay eggs. These eggs are also reserved for the bosses of the fishing groups.
Guangdong people love to eat chicken, especially free-range chicken.
It was because Chen Weiqiang opened his own fishing tackle shop and knew many wealthy and free bosses that he allowed his parents to rent an orchard and raise chickens at home.
Hens usually lay eggs during the day, but there is no specific time. Therefore, a small shed was built in the orchard specifically for these hens to lay eggs.
But these little guys always like to find some hidden corners to lay eggs and then hide the eggs secretly.
Every evening, Grandma Chen would check around the orchard and pick up the hidden eggs.
When Chen Zhiyao arrived at her own orchard, Grandma Chen had just fed the chickens and was looking for eggs in the orchard with a small basket.
Chen Zhiyao walked to the other side of the orchard and carefully looked for eggs in the grass.
The free-range chickens we raise at home are all old breeds, with crispy skin and tender meat, but they are relatively small in size, so the eggs they lay are also small and exquisite.
The white and tender little eggs are only slightly bigger than the toes, and look two sizes smaller than the eggs bought in the supermarket.
But this kind of free-range eggs tastes particularly delicious.
With Chen Zhiyao's help, all the eggs in the orchard were quickly found one by one.
There are 32 in total, but they only weigh about three pounds in total.
The Chen family sells these local eggs individually, at 1 yuan each.
There were not many eggs, and most of them were ordered by the owners of Chen Weiqiang Fishing Tackle Store.
