Tian Mingzhi and the others were about to leave, but Hu Xingjin scrambled to pull up a large yellow croaker weighing more than two kilograms at the last moment.

The slender figure and golden color of the large yellow croaker made Hu Xingjin excited from the bottom of his heart.

He couldn't help but screamed "ouch", which attracted a lot of attention.

Many sea fishermen stayed here all morning, but they only saw other people catching fish, and their own area was empty. Not to mention the big yellow croaker, even the worthless Chunzi couldn't catch a single one, and they felt very depressed.

Oil money, bait money, labor money... fishing also has costs, and the various costs add up to a lot.

Thinking of the pressure of supporting a family, many people felt bitter in their tongues, and many of those who had originally packed their things to go back sat back in silence.

Large yellow croakers don't come out much when the water temperature is high, but there are accidents. Maybe I am the lucky one?

Hu Xingjin picked up the large yellow croaker and excitedly wrapped it in a plastic bag and buried it in ice. "Let's go back and sell the fish."

Lin Manzhang smiled, "Let's go."

It was getting late, and they had to go back to sell the fish. Otherwise, if the fish had been kept for a long time, the eyes of the fish would become cloudy, and the fish would be difficult to sell.

It was already past ten in the morning when the boat returned to the dock.

Everyone was wilted from the sun.

Tian Mingzhi wiped his sweat and said, "Should we go to the fish shop where we often go to sell fish or take a look first?"

Hu Xingjin was high-spirited, "Let's see first which fish shop sells to which fish shop at a higher price!"

No one else has an opinion.

Soon, everyone discovered that the price for purchasing wild large yellow croaker in the market was actually the same.

For yellow croakers in the range of one pound to two pounds, merchants offer 1,100 yuan for one pound to one tael, and the price is 200 yuan more for each pound of one tael.

In the range from two to three kilograms, the merchant bids 3,500 yuan for a tael from two to two kilograms, and the price is 500 yuan more for each tael weighing.

If it weighs three kilograms, the price starts at nine thousand yuan, and each pound weighs one thousand yuan more.

As for items above four pounds, there is no fixed price. People from all walks of life rush to buy it, and the one with the highest price gets it.

Only three people caught large yellow croaker this morning.

Lu Ao hit five items, namely one catty and six taels, one catty and eight taels, two catties and one liang, two catties and three taels, and two catties and six taels. The total income was 18,600 yuan, with a deduction of 8,300 yuan.

With a tax of 70%, the final income was 10,230 yuan.

This is what you earn in one morning.

No wonder others say that when a cucumber rings, there is a thousand taels of gold.

It’s no wonder that the fishermen who are fishing for large yellow croaker at sea know that the chances of catching large yellow croaker are not high, so they are willing to stay there.

Lu Ao looked at the income notification on his phone, feeling confused.

Lin Qiyan and Hu Xingjin don't have so many complicated feelings.

The two of them were very happy and happily weighed the yellow croaker.

The large yellow croaker Lin Qiyan caught weighed one pound and sixty taels. The fish shop offered it 2,100 yuan. After deducting 45% of the fishery tax, he got 1,155 yuan.

The large yellow croaker caught by Hu Xingjin weighed two kilograms and six taels. The fish shop offered it 6,000 yuan, and he received 3,330 yuan after tax.

Hu Xingjin was so beautiful that he shouted "Ouch" as soon as he left the fish shop. He jumped several steps in place, patted people one by one and said: "Brothers, find a restaurant to eat, I'll treat you!"

Lin Qiyan said happily: "I'm coming too!"

Lu Ao refused to fight with them, "You guys come first, I'll treat you tonight."

"Let's go for a walk, have a big meal and drink, and I hope we catch more fish in the evening!"

This was only the first morning, and there were plenty of fishing opportunities in the remaining two days. Everyone was very happy and not anxious.

Lu Ao didn't sell the two black sea breams, so he found the restaurant and asked the waiter to send them to the kitchen for extra meals.

Hu Xingjin and Lin Qiyan were both very generous with their hands. They ordered fifteen dishes in one go. Hu Xingjin wanted to order wine, but Chen Shengrong stopped him with a glare, "Aren't you going fishing in the evening?"

"Go, go," Hu Xingjin's face glowed red and he was extremely happy, "I'm going to have great luck in the evening and catch tens of thousands of fish!"

"Who doesn't want to?" Lin Qiyan poured coconut water for everyone, "Come on, let's drink coconut water instead of wine."

The two of them usually have average luck. They rarely catch valuable fish, and they feel happy to become European emperors.

The two of them were almost drunk from just drinking.

When Tian Mingzhi saw how happy they were, he took a video of them and kept them as emoticons.

Several people had lunch happily, and while it was still early, they went out to buy bait for the nest and a few more sets of fish hooks for later use.

Some fish will swallow the hook and if they cannot take it out, simply cut the fishing line and tie a new hook.

Tian Mingzhi and the others went back to their respective homes, while Lu Ao took Lin Qiyan and Lin Manzhang home to rest.

When he returned home, the neighbors saw him and greeted him warmly.

When passing by the dumpling shop next door, Lao Zhang and his wife pulled him and wanted to give him dumplings, saying thank you for the fish he sent.

Even the owner of his supermarket said that he would treat him to food and let him take whatever he wanted.

Lin Qiyan looked at Lu Ao's enthusiastic neighbors and was stunned for a moment, "I didn't expect you to be so popular. I thought your neighbors would be a little afraid of you."

Lu Ao raised his eyes and asked, "Why are you afraid of me?"

"You have such a cold temperament and you look like you are not easy to mess with."

Lin Manzhang smiled, "Lu Ao has a cold face and a warm heart. Everyone will know if we get along with each other more. How can we not get along well with him?"

Lu Ao avoided the topic and coughed lightly, "Hurry up and take a nap. Get up at three o'clock and set off."

"Okay, I'll take a shower first. We'll fight again tonight!"

They went to bed, and Lu Ao went back to his room. Before taking a nap, he sent a message to his neighbor to express concern for the geese at home. He also sent a message to remind Song Zhou to remember to go to his field to rain.

Song Zhou didn't sleep, so the two happened to chat for a while.

It wasn't until half past one that Lu Ao took the time to take a nap.

At 3:40 in the afternoon, six people gathered at the pier on time and went out to sea to fish with all kinds of tools.

When they arrived, they saw thirty or forty fishing boats of various sizes.

It can be seen that many fishing boats have been here for a day, and the people on the boats have their necks red from the sun.

Many people who stay at sea want to catch more fish and save money on refueling.

As for being exposed to the sun, not having food at noon, etc., everyone is trying their best to overcome it by trying their best.

The fishing spot they chose in the morning was good. Chen Shengrong originally wanted to drive the boat back to its original place, but he didn't expect that when he looked around, he saw that there were five or six boats parked densely at the place where they fished in the morning.

There are two boats that are almost close to each other, and people on the boat can step over to the other boat.

Chen Shengrong was stunned, "So many people?"

Lin Manzhang, who was also in the cockpit, understood: "We caught fish this morning, and there must be many people who want to be happy."

Chen Shengrong raised his head and called Lu Ao, "Lu Shen, where are we going to fish? Is it right next to it?"

"No, wait, let me think about it." Lu Ao carefully felt the situation of the fish in the sea. After a while, he said: "Let's drive west for a while, and drive slowly."

"Okay, I'll stop if you tell me to stop."

Lu Ao nodded.

Chen Shengrong slowly drove the boat westward. After watching for almost ten minutes, he found that there were no fishing boats near them, and Lu Ao hadn't even said to stop yet.

Chen Shengrong and Lin Manzhang didn't rush either.

Lu Ao commanded, "Move to your left."

Chen Shengrong immediately complied.

After walking back and forth for a while, Lu Ao said: "Stop, just stay here."

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

Hu Xingjin stood up from his chair and asked, "Can we start fishing now?"

"That's enough." Lu Ao said, "Get ready, there should be fish coming later."

The sun hangs high above the sea, emitting dazzling light.

The sea breeze is very hot and sticky on people, and the salt makes the skin itchy.

Lu Ao took out his sunglasses and put them on, meticulously made a nest around the fishing boat, and tried hard to explore the situation beside the boat.

There were fish beside the boat, but there were no big fish, just some small miscellaneous fish.

Lu Ao did not fish, but threw a few balls of nest material next to the small fish group to feed the fish.

As the sun gradually sets in the west, everyone begins to fish seriously.

Chen Shengrong was the first to catch the fish and caught a red grouper weighing more than two kilograms.

This fish also costs several hundred yuan per catty.

Chen Shengrong happily untied the fish without any objection.
