Chapter 6 Selling Dongxingban
Hearing Copper's cry, Xu Feifei was so scared that she turned pale and backed away.
When Fang Ming saw this, he quickly shouted to Copper: "Damn Copper, sit down!"
Copper sat down next to the bucket, concentrating on guarding his supper. When he caught this fish yesterday, the little master promised that the fish head would belong to him.
Xu Feifei shouted at Fang Ming: "Why are you yelling? You will scare Copper."
Fang Ming was confused: "???"
Fang Jinxin coughed twice. He walked up to Xu Feifei and smiled politely: "Beauty, this Eastern Star Spot is indeed a wild fish. You can see that the red of its scales is very pure. If it is a domesticated Eastern Star Spot, the color is
It’s a little yellow. Also, the eyes of wild and domesticated ones are different. The eyes of domesticated Eastern Star Spots are white, while the eyes of wild ones are pure black.”
Xu Feifei squatted on the ground and observed carefully. Then she said in surprise: "This is like this. I heard my dad say this difference before."
Fang Jinxin said seriously: "We are all fishermen on the island and we will not lie to others. We cannot do such a thing to give up our reputation for a fish."
Xu Feifei made a face at Fang Jinxin and said apologetically: "I'm sorry. I didn't say you were lying. I want this Eastern Star Spot. How much does it cost per pound?"
Fang Jinxin was about to speak, but was interrupted by Miao Xiuhua. She winked at Fang Jinxin, and then said with a smile: "A Ming, you caught this fish, and you decide how much it will cost. I'll go out with your dad."
Drying the fishing nets."
"A Ming, please invite Miss Xu to come in and sit. My parents won't be back for more than two hours."
With that said, she pulled Fang Jinxin out of the yard. Fang Jinxin's puzzled voice came from far away: "What are you drying the fishing nets for? Aren't you going to eat? Fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days, what does it look like?"
Xu Feifei was confused: "Are all the people on your island so strange?"
Of course Fang Ming knew what Miao Xiuhua had in mind, and he could only laugh awkwardly. He said to Xu Feifei, "How much do you plan to pay for this Eastern Star Spot?"
Xu Feifei pondered and said: "The price of a pound of Eastern Star Spot on the market is generally about 150-50 yuan. But your Eastern Star Spot is larger, so the price will be a little higher. Well, I'll give you 0 yuan per pound.
How about a pound?"
Fang Ming's previous mental price was 00 yuan per catty. Unexpectedly, the price given by the other party was actually 0 yuan higher.
He nodded and smiled: "No problem."
Fang Ming went to the house to get an electronic scale and carefully weighed the Eastern Star Spot. The pure weight of the Eastern Star Spot was 4 kilograms, so the total cost was 94 yuan.
Fang Ming smiled and said: "Forget it is 4 yuan. Just give me 900 yuan."
Unexpectedly, Xu Feifei still transferred 94 yuan to Fang Ming on WeChat. She said seriously: "My dad said, business is business. Don't say it is 4 yuan, every penny has to be calculated. For this mere 4 yuan
, I owe you a favor, and this is even more uneconomical."
When Fang Ming heard this, he glanced at Xu Feifei in surprise. He was a businessman after all, but tutoring was different.
As the mobile phone text message "ding dong" reminded, 94 yuan had arrived. Fang Ming smiled at Xu Feifei and said: "The money has arrived. Happy cooperation."
Xu Feifei also nodded and stretched out her hand to pick up the bucket. But she glanced at the copper plate and immediately retracted her hand. Xu Feifei carefully said to the copper plate: "Copper plate, copper plate, I bought this fish. I can carry it away.
.”
Copper Dog rolled his eyes and showed his fangs in a demonstration.
Xu Feifei couldn't help but take a step back.
I have to say that it would be very scary if Copper gets angry. Last year, a tourist took a German Shepherd to play on the beach on the island. Unexpectedly, the German Shepherd went crazy and threw Fang Ming to the ground. At that time,
Copper, who was still a half-sized puppy, rushed forward like he was desperate and bit the German Shepherd's throat in two bites.
From then on, Tongban became famous in one battle and became the master of the dogs on Moon Island.
Fang Ming smiled at her: "I'll do it."
As he spoke, Fang Ming stretched out his hand and knocked the dog's head on the copper plate, and said angrily: "Go and play for a while. I will buy you a chicken drumstick later."
Copperplate's eyes suddenly shone, and the dog's mouth was filled with laughter. It wagged its tail vigorously, wishing it could shake half of its butt off.
Xu Feifei was dumbfounded and looked at Fang Ming with a look filled with jealousy. Such a good dog was following such a useless owner.
This was the first time she met a fisherman who couldn't even swim.
Xu Feifei reached out to pick up the bucket and walked towards the far door. She just took two steps and put the bucket down again and complained: "It's so heavy."
This bucket was made of iron and weighed four to five kilograms. There was also an Eastern star spotted weighing four kilograms in the bucket, plus half a bucket of sea water. Together, it weighed at least twenty kilograms.
Xu Feifei has thin arms and legs, so it is really difficult to carry it.
Fang Ming stepped forward to take the bucket and said with a smile: "I'll help you carry it back. You live at the village chief's house, right?"
Xu Feifei hesitated for a moment, then followed Fang Ming towards the village chief's home. It was now past two o'clock in the afternoon, which happened to be the busiest and most leisure time on the fishing island. The fishermen who went out to fish came back one after another, each sorting out their fishing nets and seafood. They came in twos and threes.
Three fishermen gathered around chatting, and some were scrolling through Douyin on their mobile phones, laughing non-stop.
"A Ming, come and try my dried shrimp."
Suddenly, greetings and laughter sounded above Fang Ming's head.
Fang Ming looked up and saw a woman in her forties drying dried shrimps on the roof. After being exposed to the sun, these dried shrimps locked in the delicious flavor of the shrimps to the greatest extent, and the color also became bright red.
From a distance, it looks like the roof is on fire.
Fang Ming smiled and said: "Aunt Fu, I can smell the fragrance from all the way away."
Aunt Fu grabbed a dried shrimp and threw it towards Fang Ming.
Fang Ming whistled. The coin jumped up, caught the shrimp firmly, and then delivered it to Fang Ming's hand.
Tongban sat down in front of Fang Ming, looking at the dried shrimp in Fang Ming's hand with tears streaming down his face.
Fang Ming peeled off the dried shrimp, broke off half of it and stuffed it into Tongban's mouth. Tongban took the dried shrimp in one mouthful and waggled his tail even more happily.
Just follow the little master out, and there will be people feeding him anytime and anywhere.
Aunt Fu saw it from the roof and laughed and scolded: "A Ming, you have spoiled the copper plate. You will eat whatever you eat! What a dog this is. It is better than the people in the city."
Fang Ming chuckled and said, "People in the city don't have the luxury of eating Aunt Fu's dried shrimps. The dried shrimps made by Aunt Fu are fresh, delicious, and moderately salty. You will never get tired of eating them in your life."
Aunt Fu smiled and scolded: "You are the only one who is sweet! Just dry the dried shrimps for two more days and they will be ready. Next time you go to work in the city, I will give you two kilograms."
Fang Ming nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Auntie. I'll leave first."
He took two steps with the bucket, but saw that Xu Feifei was still there. Fang Ming was puzzled and asked, "Miss Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Feifei's bright eyes looked at the dried shrimps on the roof, and she said sheepishly: "I want to eat one too."
"you……"
Fang Ming couldn't help but laugh and shouted to Aunt Fu: "Aunt, here's another dried shrimp. Give it to my friend to try."
"okay."
Aunt Fu picked a big one and threw it from the roof. She joked: "A Ming, is this your girlfriend? Take it to my house tonight so that Auntie can have a good look at it."
Fang Ming's face suddenly turned red. He took a peek at Xu Feifei and found that Xu Feifei's attention was entirely on the dried shrimps, and she didn't pay attention to Aunt Fu's words at all.
Xu Feifei peeled off the dried shrimps and broke off half of them and brought them to Tongban's mouth: "You eat Tongban."
Tongban tilted his head and glanced at Fang Ming. It wasn't until Fang Ming nodded that he bit into the dried shrimp.
If it weren't for the sake of my little master, I wouldn't eat your food.
Soon, Fang Ming carried a bucket and arrived at the home of village chief Chen Weimin. Before he could enter, Fang Ming heard Chen Weimin's regretful voice: "It's a pity. This arowana probably can't be saved." (Unfinished)
