Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!
Chapter 171 Midnight Surprise
In fact, Tang Changping was also very excited. He was an old fisherman and received a 1% commission, which was twice that of an ordinary boatman.
This means that his monthly commission is estimated to be more than 20,000, or even more!
No wonder my niece Tang Xiaoyu said this was a good job.
He agreed to do so when he saw his niece starting a business, in order to support her.
I didn’t expect the reward to be so high!
She is worthy of being the niece he has loved since she was a child!
"Don't get excited, it will only be more, not less." Tang Changping reminded him, and he was actually about to be unable to suppress the smile.
Wu Yong came in front of Zhou Ze, leaned over to his ear, and repeated his speculation.
Zhou Ze's eyes lit up and he couldn't believe it.
After a while, Zhou Ze recovered. "I didn't expect that we could become a millionaire in just one month. This year, I can have a good New Year when I go home."
Wu Yong nodded, "Yes, I will definitely marry Xiaofang when I go back this year. By the way, after we get the commission this time, we will immediately treat Jincheng to a meal to thank him for introducing us to such a good job."
Zhou Ze agreed, "Yes, true brothers!"
Mrs. Chen is such a smart person, she is also calculating.
The more she calculated, the more surprised she felt. She was one step closer to her goal of buying a house for her daughter.
Liu Meilan discussed with Xu Fa, "Uncle Xu, it's getting dark. Let's pull up another net and find a place to rest."
Xu Kaifa felt it was a pity, "Meilan, the weather is good now, and the wind is not strong. It is okay to trawle the net at night."
Liu Meilan waved her hand, "Uncle Xu, I know you want to catch more for me, but we've been tired all day, so we should have a good rest. If we pull up another net, maybe we can catch 15 tons."
"We'll drag the net for another day tomorrow, then slowly pull it back and try to get back tomorrow night. We can deliver some good fish to the restaurant in the morning while they're still fresh."
Xu Kaifa was astonished. "Meilan, are you so confident that we can catch this much tomorrow?"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Yes!"
Although Xu Kaifa couldn't believe it and was skeptical, when he saw Liu Meilan's confident words, he suddenly felt that it seemed possible!
Xu Kaifa smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Liu Meilan guided me throughout the day, and the results were great!
In fact, the same is true.
At nine o'clock in the evening, another net was set up.
Liu Meilan untied this web.
I saw a gray thing falling down, crackling and rustling.
"Swimming crabs!" Mrs. Chen was surprised. "These swimming crabs are real. Meilan, do we have to tie them up one by one or use a net bag?" (Picture)
Liu Meilan saw so many swimming crabs dancing their limbs, baring their claws and teeth, and crawling everywhere.
Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Tie up the ones that weigh more than one pound individually; put the ones that weigh more than half a pound and less than one pound in a net bag. If the smaller ones are still alive, throw them into the sea and don't keep them."
Crabs are relatively energetic and as long as they have energy, they can survive if they are thrown back into the water.
There are many fish that die as soon as they leave the water.
Tang Changping was reluctant to part with it, so he came over to persuade her, "Meilan, if it's more than 3 taels and less than half a catty, you can still sell it for some money."
Liu Meilan pointed at the pile of crabs and said, "Uncle Tang, don't you think it would take up too much space to store the small ones in the fish tank? When we catch the good fish, we won't have anywhere to put them. Wouldn't that be a pity?"
"This...hahaha..." Tang Changping laughed, "Yes, we have to make room for the good fish and shrimp."
When everyone heard this, they also laughed.
Liu Meilan announced, "Everyone must wear gloves. Captain Xu is looking for a place to dock. After we pack up, we will rest."
Everyone was really tired, and after hearing this, they became more energetic.
Crabs are more difficult to handle than fish. Not only do they have to be sorted, but there is also the step of tying the crabs.
Fortunately, everyone was an experienced hand, and even Liu Meilan squatted down to help, and her speed was no slower than others.
Liu Meilan's many years of experience in tying crabs came in handy at this time.
Two hours later, the sorting was finally completed and the fishing nets were sorted out.
Mrs. Chen took the boatman to clean the fishing boat and mopped it.
Under the command of Liu Meilan, Xu Kaifa found an island and, based on instrument detection, found a suitable place to dock.
Everyone took turns washing up and then went back to the cabin to sleep.
Wu Yong volunteered, "You guys go to sleep, Zhou Ze and I will take turns to watch over you."
Although it is relatively safe to dock at an island, who knows what is happening at sea?
You can never be too careful!
Tang Changping patted Wu Yong on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, do a good job!"
Wu Yong chuckled and said, "We will definitely work hard!"
Zhou Ze nodded, "This is something we often did before, and we have a lot of experience with it."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I know it's hard to go out to sea, but I'm Liu Meilan and I'll keep my word. I won't give you a penny less than what I promised. The more you gain, the more commission you'll get."
"Thank you Captain Meilan!" Everyone was in a good mood today, but also a little nervous.
They were very worried that the harvest would be big and the commission would be high, but Liu Meilan was reluctant to give them the money.
But now Liu Meilan has made a strong promise in public and she will not go back on her word.
Get rich!
This is the voice of all boatmen.
Liu Meilan yawned, brushed her teeth and washed her face.
As for taking a shower, forget it, there are no conditions for that!
Fortunately, Liu Meilan was confident that she could get back as soon as possible. When she got to the shore, she invited everyone to take a sauna.
The lights were on on the bow, and Wu Yong was sitting in the cockpit, walking from the bow to the stern every half hour.
Holding a flashlight in his hand, he would shine it onto the sea from time to time.
Liu Meilan was not worried because she had many friends around her and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
The same goes for other people. Being tired is the best sleeping pill.
Sleep allows people to quickly restore their physical strength, and the quality of sleep directly determines the mental and physical state of the next day.
Wu Yong was also sleepy, but he couldn't sleep and had to hold on for at least four hours.
Only when Zhou Ze replaces him can he sleep.
So Wu Yong didn't stay in the cabin anymore, but walked around the fishing boat to relieve his sleepiness.
His eyelids couldn't stop twitching, so Wu Yongqiang perked up.
Thinking that in a month he would become the first ten thousand yuan household in the village, build a house for his parents, and marry a beautiful wife, the excitement in his heart drove away his sleepiness.
At about one o'clock in the morning, Wu Yong heard the sounds around him that were a little different.
He looked at the sea and felt that the surface was different, as if there were many fish floating on it.
He turned on the flashlight, shone it over there, and felt numb instantly.
"Thank you, Mazu." Wu Yong unconsciously learned the catchphrase that Tang Changping and the boatmen often said, "Yellow fish?"
He and Zhou Ze were both outsiders, but they were popular among the boatmen.
Red fish in the sea are generally delicious and expensive.
Then the yellow and golden fish are more expensive and tastier.
Wu Yong wasn't sure what kind of fish it was, but it had already swam near the fishing boat.
If we don’t fish it out, we will be letting down the gift from Mazu and the Dragon King of the Sea!
"Uncle Tang, hurry up and see what kind of fish are those in the sea?" Wu Yong ran to the men's dormitory and woke Tang Changping up.
Tang Changping was sleeping soundly when he was woken up and was in a bad mood.
As soon as he heard there was fish, he immediately showed the professionalism of an experienced fisherman.
Tang Changping put on a thick coat and followed Wu Yong out.
He was very experienced, and as he listened to the sounds and colors of the fish, he slapped his thighs in surprise.
"Everyone, get up quickly and put on your clothes! There's a big yellow croaker outside!"
Tang Changping's voice was like thunder, instantly waking up the others.
For fishermen, yellow croaker represents money and fortune.
As the resources of yellow croaker become scarcer and fewer, there are so many of them appearing in groups like this on the sea surface.
Everyone quickly put on their clothes and ran out.
Xu Kaifa made a prompt decision, "It's very shallow here, and we can't drag the net so close! Then we can only throw the net by hand!"
"Everyone, get ready. I'll drive the fishing boat over here! Everyone, work together to catch these big yellow croakers!"
How could anyone feel sleepy now?
Everyone was trembling with excitement. It was a blessing to encounter such a good thing once in a lifetime.
Xu Kaifa is very good at driving the boat, and Liu Meiran is standing by the window giving directions.
There happened to be two fishing nets on the boat, and Tang Changping could catch a lot of big yellow croakers with just one cast.
Wu Yong and Zhou Ze are strong, but they don't know how to cast a net.
Another female boatman, Sister Zhao, took the fishing net and threw it into the sea.
The fishing net opened in a circular arc in the air and fell into the sea.
After a while, Sister Zhao closed the net.
But the fishing net was very heavy, so Sister Zhao called out, "Come and help pull it up!"
Zhou Zi and Wu Yong stepped forward and pulled up the fishing net together.
Each net can carry hundreds of pounds of fish, thrown onto the plywood.
Because these fish would not float on the sea for too long, people were not in a hurry to sort them, but instead quickly cast and pulled the nets.
After working for more than an hour, the school of fish slowly dispersed and the sea returned to calm.
Everyone was busy casting and pulling nets, and they were so stimulated by the golden color of the yellow croaker that they didn't feel tired at all.
Now that I have stopped, I feel as if my arms are filled with lead. They are so sore and painful that I can hardly lift them.
However, when their eyes fell on these big yellow croakers, they instantly became more alert.
Xu Kaifa had just been driving the boat and now he finally had the chance to come out and take a look.
When I saw this, my eyes were almost glued to these big yellow croakers.
"Goddess of Mazu, bless you! Oh my god, this is a big yellow croaker!"
Xu Kaifa picked up a fish from the ground and weighed it in his hand.
This one weighs more than five kilograms!
Excellent!
Seeing that everyone was excited and tired, Liu Meilan said to Sister Chen, "Sister Chen, go to the kitchen and make some supper. Let's eat and then get back to work!"
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "It's late at night, I'll cook some seafood porridge for everyone. It's delicious and easy to digest!"
Liu Meilai nodded, "Okay!"
Mrs. Chen went to cook, and after the others rested for a while, they began to sort the yellow croakers.
In everyone's eyes, these fish are cute RMB!
This time everyone broke it down very carefully because the prices varied greatly due to different specifications.
If it is cheap fish, the loss will not be much if it exceeds a little.
But for fish like yellow croaker, which has a very high unit price, the losses are much greater.
Mrs. Chen cooked porridge in a large electric rice cooker. She threw a lot of shrimp, crab, octopus and snail meat into the pot and cooked them together with the rice.
It takes time to cook porridge, so she hurried over to do it for a while.
Twenty minutes later, Mrs. Chen went to the kitchen again and watched the pot to prevent it from boiling over.
Because the sorting was so careful, it took an hour and a half by the time everything was done.
It's three o'clock in the morning now, and everyone is sitting on the stools, looking for a place to lean against.
Rest while drinking seafood porridge.
After finishing her porridge, Liu Meilan said to everyone, "You have all worked hard and didn't get enough rest. After drinking the porridge, go back and rest. You don't have to get up early tomorrow, just sleep until you wake up naturally!"
Xu Kaifa smiled and said, "With these big yellow croakers as a base, I can sleep until I wake up naturally."
Tang Changping smiled and said, "Old Xu, you found a great place."
Xu Kaifa shook his head. "This was something Captain Meilan asked for. I don't have the ability to do this."
After hearing this, everyone was in awe and no one looked down on Captain Meilan anymore.
Captain Meilan has truly lived up to his reputation.
This time it was Zhou Ze's turn to guard outside while the others rested.
Liu Meilan woke up at six in the morning, went outside, and said to Zhou Ze: "Zhou Ze, go back to sleep."
"Captain Meilan, I'm not sleepy. You should go to sleep." Zhou Ze said with a smile, as if he was determined to follow Captain Meilan to the death.
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "During the day, you still need to do hard work. I can still take some time to take a nap. Go ahead and get some more sleep."
Seeing Liu Meilan say this, Zhou Ze had no choice but to agree, "Thank you, Captain Meilan!"
Liu Meilan waved her hand, "You're welcome. We are a team, and we should help each other."
By the time Zhou Ze went back to sleep, it was already bright outside.
Liu Meilan was cleaning the seafood she caught yesterday, including fish, shrimps and crabs, all of which were missing limbs.
Liu Meilan made a pot of seafood soup, which was hot, fragrant and fresh.
The fried dough sticks I bought on the shore yesterday morning are a little soft now.
It will taste good when soaked in seafood soup.
Next, Liu Meilan made egg pancakes using eggs, flour, ham, and black sesame seeds.
The soup, pancakes and fried dough sticks are also good for breakfast.
Even though Liu Meilan said yesterday that people should sleep until they wake up naturally, many people still got up at 7:30.
Sister Chen wanted to come over to cook, and when she saw Liu Meilan had already finished, she smiled and said, "Meilan, I'm so lucky today. Let me try your cooking."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "It tastes just average, so please make do with it."
Xu Kaifa didn't have time to eat. He found that the water level in this place had dropped, so he quickly drove the boat deeper and away from the island.
"Old Xu, slow down." Tang Changping said, picked up the telescope, and looked at the newly exposed reefs. "Let me have a small boat. I want to go over and take a look."
Xu Kaifa took the telescope, looked over, and was quite shocked. "I saw a lot of oysters there!"
"Yes, it's oysters!" Tang Changping nodded.
Liu Meilan came over and said, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Tang, let's move the fishing boat back first and then go over to take a look after dinner."
"Yes, let's eat first." Xu Kaifa said with a smile, "Man is iron and food is steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry."
Fried dough sticks and egg pancakes, served with seafood soup, are delicious and warming.
After dinner, they did not rest but immediately lowered the boat and went to take a look at the exposed reef.
Liu Meilan and Tang Changping went there together, and the others waited on the boat.
Seeing this, Tang Changping exclaimed, "Captain Meilan, I now believe that you are Mazu's biological daughter. Just find an island or reef to dock and you will find so many oysters!"
"These oysters are so big and plentiful. I think we can definitely have a good harvest if we just dig for oysters here instead of trawling today."
Tang Changping walked around again, especially in the water, and found some good stuff!
