Today was a good day. Chen Weiqiang was in a good mood, humming a little tune and returning with his family along the same route.

When they returned to the place where they first came, they found that there were more people fishing around.

Not only that, there are several more small stalls on the roadside.

There are two small stalls selling fishing gear alone, and another stall selling boxed lunches and snacks such as soda and instant noodles.

There was even an old man with gray hair who sat on a small stool and told people's fortunes.

You know what, there were quite a few people coming for fortune-telling, and several of them were queuing up anxiously.

It was even more lively at this time than when I came here in the morning, and the entire breakwater was bustling with people.

"When I came here this morning, there were no stalls here. How come this side of the breakwater has become so lively in just a short while?"

Chen Zhiyao lowered the car window and looked at the stalls outside with interest.

It is dinner time now. The stall selling boxed lunches is crowded with people. The young couple getting their meals are so happy that they can't stop smiling.

In addition, the two small stalls selling fishing gear nearby are also doing good business.

From a distance, she saw a few wealthy people who were not short of money and bought a lot of bait for fishing.

Chen Weiqiang parked the car in front of a young stall owner on the left. Chen Zhiyao took a look and found that he was an old acquaintance.

"Xiao Li, how is business today?"

"Boss, you are so good at predicting things. There are fishermen everywhere here. We have sold more than ten boxes of bait for fishing and two fishing rods worth thousands of dollars."

Chen Weiqiang patted Xiao Li's shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Work hard. If your performance this month is better than last month, you'll get an extra bonus at the end of the month."

"Thank you, Brother Qiang. Brother Qiang, you look exceptionally handsome today."

Xiao Li works in Chen Weiqiang's fishing tackle shop. He gets commission for every fishing tackle he sells, and now he gets an extra bonus, so he is very motivated.

Having painted a rosy picture for his employees, Chen Weiqiang contentedly took his family to sell the catch.

Soon, they arrived at the town's dock.

Today is the first day of the fishing ban. There are almost no fishing boats at the dock, but there are a lot more fishermen.

At a glance, there are quite a few familiar faces, basically half of them are fishmongers who usually collect fish at the dock.

The most prominent among them is Yang Jiajun.

The man was fishing with both hands, holding a fishing rod in one hand and staring at the sea with both eyes.

There was no other way. Since there were no fish available at the dock, the fishmongers had to go fishing themselves.

The car turned the corner and arrived at Yang's purchasing station in less than two minutes.

At this time, not only was the dock deserted, but the several purchasing stations nearby were also deserted.

The car stopped at the door of Yangjia Purchasing Station, and we saw two fishermen selling fish inside.

There were only Li Qingqing and another uncle in the store.

When Li Qingqing saw the several large buckets of white pomfret being unloaded from the car, her eyes widened instantly, and she immediately welcomed the people into the house with a smile on her face.

"There are so many white pomfret. It seems that the fishing situation is good today."

The two middle-aged men who were selling fish in the house saw so many white pomfret and couldn't help but look towards Chen Zhiyao.

Later, when he saw rat grouper and red grouper fish, and even various valuable seafood, his expression began to look a little strange.

The two of them whispered a few words and then left quietly.

"Uncle Chen, these white pomfret are quite big. Those over one and a half catties are 32 yuan per catty, and those under one and a half catties are 28 yuan per catty."

"This red grouper is of average size, so it's 800 yuan per catty. A large rat grouper is 480 yuan per catty, a small one is 350 yuan per catty, a sea eel is 65 yuan per catty, and a small blue dragon is 245 yuan per catty."

There are no fishing boats out fishing now, and only a few small fish are caught in the morning.

Seeing so many fish caught with great difficulty, Li Qingqing was extremely enthusiastic and offered the highest price possible.

Today is the first day of the fishing ban. Although the price of seafood has increased a bit, the increase is not large. Everyone thinks the price is still quite good.

After agreeing on the price, the two people in the store began to weigh the catch.

Chen Zhiyao not only caught the most fish, but also red grouper and mouse grouper. Li Qingqing was the first to settle the bill for her.

The big white pomfret weighed 22 jin, 32 yuan per jin, a total of 704 yuan. The small one weighed 15.6 jin, 28 yuan per jin, a total of 437 yuan.

Red grouper weighs 2.4 catties, 800 yuan per kg, a total of 1920 yuan. Mouse grouper weighs 5.7 catties, 480 yuan per kg, a total of 2736 yuan.

The sea wolf weighed 10.3 jin, 11 yuan per jin, a total of 113 yuan. The conger eel weighed 22 jin, 65 yuan per jin, a total of 1430 yuan.

All in all, Chen Zhiyao earned a total of 7340 yuan.

Grandpa Chen caught two sea wolves, a mackerel, a sea bass and a large bucket of white pomfret, earning a total of 2660 yuan.

Although Chen Weiqiang did not catch as much fish as the old man, he had a large blue grouper weighing nearly 20 kilograms, and his total profit was 3090 yuan.

Yan Shuting's catch was not only large in quantity, but most of it was valuable seafood.

A wide variety of seafood was sold for a total of 3998 yuan.

In the bet this morning, the first place went to Chen Zhiyao, and the last place went to Grandpa Chen.

Therefore, the honor of cleaning the house for a week fell on the old man.

After calculating the price, Li Qingqing transferred money to several people directly on her mobile phone.

Seeing the payment information on the phone, several people could hardly suppress the smiles on their faces.

Chen Weiqiang took out his car keys and was about to go home for dinner when two police officers suddenly showed up.

"We have received a report that someone here is illegally fishing during the fishing ban period. Please cooperate with the investigation."

The two law enforcement officers had sullen faces, and the originally joyful atmosphere in the store suddenly became serious. There were many people gathered at the door to watch the fun.

The store didn't receive any fish today, and Li Qingqing immediately understood that someone had reported that there was something wrong with Chen's fish.

She had just checked these fish and they were indeed caught. She was sure there was no problem, so she quickly explained to the others:

"Comrade police officer, this is probably a misunderstanding. These people encountered a school of fish this morning and caught a lot of white pomfret. The number of fish is a bit too much. Maybe someone has misunderstood."

"You can come and check. The mouths of these fish have been pierced by hooks. If there is any problem, I dare not catch them."

Chen Weiqiang also understood at this time that someone had reported them.

However, they caught the fish themselves, so they were not panicking and explained confidently:

"We caught these fish early in the morning at the breakwater. There are tracking devices on the fishing boats, so we can check whether they have gone out to sea."

The two first checked the fish in the store. Although the number was huge, they were indeed all caught.

Then they checked the movement trajectory of the Chen family's "Ping An" and found that it had indeed never left the dock, so the two left.

Yang Jiajun, who was fishing at the pier outside, was scared to death when he heard someone say that something happened at his family's purchasing station and the police came to seal the store.

He ran back desperately, but as soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Chen Weiqiang who was about to go home.

Knowing that it was just a misunderstanding, Yang Jiajun cursed the person who spread the rumor for a long time in the store.
