The giant anchovy caught by Lu Ao was so big that their small county might not be able to eat it.

Others also realized it, and looked worried at the big catfish he caught, "I don't know if there is any fishmonger in the county who can eat this small catfish worth less than 100,000 yuan."

Lu Ao didn't even raise his head, "Forget it if you can't eat it, we'll consume it ourselves."

The most valuable part of this catfish is the fish maw. Fresh fish cannot be sold, and the same goes for removing the fish maw to make isinglass.

If you keep it for a long time, it might even increase in value.

The remaining fish meat is not too expensive. It is also good to take the fish meat and beat it into fish balls and give them to relatives and friends as coming-of-age gifts.

After everyone thought about it, they felt that what he said made sense.

Lin Gongshang was playing with his mobile phone and asked, "What are you going to do now? Aren't you planning to go back?"

“First post it on Moments and see if anyone in the Moments wants it.”

Lu Ao sells a lot of his fish through WeChat Moments and auction groups. Now that he catches expensive fish, he will post it on WeChat Moments.

It was neither early nor late, and no one responded for a while. Lu Ao was not in a hurry. He put his phone away in his pocket, went to the stern of the boat, started the engine, and went home with everyone.

They moved faster today, and it was not even six o'clock when they returned to the shore.

Lu Ao was about to go selling fish with them. He turned on his phone and wanted to say something to Song Zhou. Who knew that as soon as he turned on his phone, dozens of messages flooded out, making his phone vibrate for a long time.

Lin Qiyan turned his head curiously and asked, "Is someone asking you about the mullet?"

"Yeah." Lu Ao brushed his fingers over the information.

The person who sent him the most messages was Weng Qian. He was sending messages to Lu Ao two minutes ago, asking Lu Ao to reply to him after seeing the message.

Everyone else was also asking Lu Ao about the catfish he caught.

Lu Ao gave Weng Qian a brief reply, and then briefly introduced the situation of the caught catfish to the bidding group and the boat boss group.

The catfish he caught died as soon as it was caught. Judging from the traces, it should have been killed by a fight with other fish or something. It was very fresh and clean.

The people in the group were discussing how much the fish was worth. Lu Ao told them that the fish had not been sold yet. According to the usual price years ago, the meat of this fish was about one hundred plus a catty and the swim bladder was sixty or seventy thousand.

-The price is quite generous.

-Xiao Lu, please sell me the fish. I'll show you the money. How about we put together a whole fish for a round sum of sixty-six thousand? Your fish will be dead when you catch it. It can't be compared with a live fish, so the price will be somewhat reduced.

-Brother Xiao Lu, don’t listen to him, I want 70,000 yuan

-Seventy-five thousand. I'm relatively close. It should still be fresh when you brought it here.

- Xiaolu can sell it locally for 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. If it is shipped out, the price will be even more outrageous. You still want to give away 70,000 yuan? I will pay 80,000 yuan!

-Hey, how can you raise the price like this? Wouldn’t it be endless to raise the price like this?

The bidding group was extremely lively for a while, and everyone was talking about their own opinions.

Lu Ao didn't stop him either.

These people may seem impulsive, but in fact they are the shrewdest. As long as the negotiation can be settled, they will not spend a penny more.

On the contrary, the group composed of ship bosses added by Lu Ao was much more heroic.

-The mullet caught by Xiaolu today is pretty good!

-It's really good. The omen is good. It's almost Chinese New Year and there's going to be a good harvest.

-I want this mullet, one hundred and eighty-eight thousand, if you give it to me, I will give it to you, how about it?

-This price is usually okay, but it seems a bit low during the Chinese New Year. Why don't you buy it for me? I'll pay 200,000.

-Lao Luo, give me some face. Otherwise, I will increase it to 250,000. The market price should be that much. If you are not in a hurry to use isinglass, please give me some face.

-What's the use of giving you face? It depends on Lu Ao. Lu Ao, what do you think?

Lu Ao appeared in the group: I have friends who also want to buy this fish. Let me see what price they are offering.

-Hey, that's right. Then I'll increase the price to 280,000. I won't be able to afford more than this amount.

The price was not particularly expensive, but there was no room for error. Everyone was very considerate and did not argue with him.

The highest price offered by the ship boss was 280,000 yuan.

The bidding group worked hard and failed to get the 100,000 yuan.

There were also several people who secretly chatted with Lu Ao, trying to play the emotional card.

After Lu Ao finished replying to each other, he turned off his phone and said to Lin Gongshang and others: "You go and sell the fish. I won't sell the fish for the time being."

"Looking at you, I know that you don't have to worry about selling your fish, so let's go. We have to hurry up and sell the fish while it's still early in the day."

Lin Gongshang and the others waved their hands and transferred the fish to the tricycle, planning to go to the town to try their luck first.

If the fish shop in the town can't eat so much fish, they will go to the county to sell it.

But there should be no problem. They didn't catch any particularly valuable fish today. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the sales of meat and fish are particularly good. The fish they caught today are fresh and strong, so they shouldn't have to worry about selling.

The group parted ways, and Lin Qiyan helped Lu Ao carry the fish he caught today onto his tricycle. "This mullet is so big. If we don't sell it quickly, will it break easily?"

"It's okay, it can't be broken. The big freezer for freezing goose feed at home can just be used to freeze this fish."

Lin Qiyan saw that he knew what he knew, so he mentioned it once and then stopped mentioning it.

The two of them moved the large pile of fish back to Lu Ao's house. Song Zhou was already back. Seeing that they had caught so many fish today, he was a little surprised and asked, "What a good harvest today?"

"Luck." Lu Ao said, "Maybe God wants to give us some money for the New Year."

Songzhou laughed when he heard this.

Lin Qiyan wanted to go home after helping to move the fish in.

Song Zhou left him to eat, but he quickly waved his hand and said that his grandma had already prepared it, and hurried back.

Lu Ao looked at his back and then at Song Zhou, "Why do I think he's a little afraid of you?"

"How did I know this? Oh, the bidding in your group has already reached 250,000 yuan."

Lu Ao also took a look and saw that the bidding from the rich group was slowly rising.

"Don't worry about them. The highest bid from the boat boss group next door is 280,000 yuan. It depends on which side is higher."

Song Zhou smiled, "I guess with the way they are slowly raising the price, their price should be higher."

"I guess it won't be too high, let's have a look." Lu Ao said, "I caught a lot of fish today. What do you want to eat tonight? Let's eat some seafood tonight."

"One fried prawn."

"Well, the quality of the prawns we caught today is all wrong. Most of the prawns are as long as the palm of your hand. How about a fried orchid crab, and then a steamed sea bass?"

"Okay, I'll give you a hand."

While the two of them were cooking, the bidding price didn't stop and kept rising slowly.

Lu Ao thought that the results would not come out until before going to bed.

Unexpectedly, by the time they went to watch in the group after dinner, the dust had already settled.

The highest bidder was Weng Qian, who offered 360,000 yuan.

As soon as he announced the price, no one wanted to compete with him. The main reason was that Lu Ao's fish was already dead when he caught it. Even if it was still fresh, it would not sound good when told about it.

Everyone is rich and can buy any fish they want to eat. Lu Ao is not very competitive. Everyone is mainly greedy for the swim bladder in the belly of this fish.

There are a lot of fish maws on the market, and you can buy good quality yellow-lipped fish maws for as much as NT$360,000. It’s not worth buying such a fish maw.

When Lu Ao saw the result, he went to the boat boss's group to talk. Everyone heard that a rich man had spent 360,000 yuan to buy this fish. They felt a little regretful, but they were also happy for Lu Ao.

-This result is really good. I was able to earn such a sum of money a year ago. I am very lucky.

-Xiao Lu, when are you free during the Chinese New Year to go out for a drink?

-Yeah, aren’t you going to do that kind of ocean ranch? Come out and have a chat and share your experience.

Everyone was very enthusiastic. Lu Ao thought for a while and replied to them: If he wanted to go out drinking with his family during the Chinese New Year, he would probably not be free until the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

-Hahahaha, it’s all the same. I only have free time after the third day of the new year.

-I am free on the fourth and fifth day of the Lunar New Year

-I am also on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year

-Otherwise, the group leader should make statistics and see which day has the most people free, and we can choose that day to go out for a drink.

The group leader bubbled up and agreed.

Seeing that they were already discussing drinking during the New Year, Lu Ao left the group and asked Weng Qian to confirm buying fish.

When Weng Qian saw that the fish had really been photographed by him, he was happy and regretful at the same time: "Lu Ao, your business is getting bigger and bigger, I don't have any special discounts from you anymore"

When Lu Ao saw this sentence, he thought for a while: I went out to catch a lot of fish today. If you want any discount, I will give you some more fish.

Weng Qian immediately became happy: What kind of fish did you catch? Let me see

Lu Ao: Black snapper, white fish, sea bass... too many, miscellaneous. You tell me what fish you want first, and I'll see if I have any here.

Weng Qian: Are there any Eastern Star Spots? It’s Chinese New Year, I’ll get some Eastern Star Spots to eat at home

Lu Ao: Yes, if you want, I can try to help you get rid of rat spots.
