Chapter 45 Sky-high Yellow Croaker
Sure enough, after the second net, Chen Bin felt that the strength was wrong.
When he pulled an empty fishing net up, he was immediately dumbfounded, "It's strange, there were so many fish just now, why are they all gone at once?"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "The small yellow croakers are carnivorous fish. The small yellow croakers are here, how can the school of fish not dare to run away? If the fish school runs away, the small yellow croakers will naturally chase the fish school. If they leave, we will go back."
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I should have cast more nets quickly." Chen Bin said angrily.
"It's useless to cast more nets. We still need a big boat to pull up all the nearby fish with one net." Li Xuan said with a smile.
"You go and sail the boat, and I'll turn off the lights on the boat." Li Xuan said.
Chen Bin quickly shouted: "Don't close it."
"What? Are you afraid of the dark?" Li Xuan asked doubtfully.
"No, I just wanted to turn on the light and see if there are any fish coming on the way back." Chen Bin said.
Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, "It's useless. Although many fish have phototaxis, the phototaxis of fish has a time period. For various reasons, they will gather when they see the light, but when they swim to
Once you are near the light, it only takes a short time to get used to it.”
"Once the marine fish adapt to the light, they will slowly swim away and no longer gather near the light. The lights on our boat have been turned on. After such a long time, the marine fish in this area no longer tend to the light."
Chen Bin was surprised and said: "Is there such a thing?"
Li Xuan nodded.
Chen Bin touched his chin, "I also want to install a row of lights on my boat after I go back. From now on, the lights will always be on when I go out at night. It seems that this is not possible now."
Li Xuan smiled and patted Chen Bin on the shoulder, "Let's go."
The fishing boat slowly turned its bow on the sea and headed towards the Yulong Bay Pier.
Li Xuan looked at the croaker in the wooden barrel on the boat, took out his cell phone, and sent a message to Fatty Wang.
The last time he sold those geoducks, Li Xuan saved Fatty Wang's phone number.
Now, Li Xuan only has one shipping channel for these high-end aquatic products, Chen Tianzi, so every time he catches it, he naturally informs the other party.
At this time, Li Xuan felt that Fatty Wang was still asleep.
Sure enough, just a moment later, Li Xuan's phone rang.
Li Xuan answered the phone with a smile, "Manager Wang."
"Haha, brother Li, you sent me a message so late. Do you have any good things to do for me?" Fatty Wang's hearty laughter came from the phone.
Li Xuan smiled and said: "I just caught some yellow croaker at sea, I wonder if Manager Wang will take it?"
On the other side of the phone, Fatty Wang was surprised. He quickly asked: "Is it a large yellow croaker?"
"No, it's a small yellow croaker, but it's not small."
When Fatty Wang heard that it was not a large yellow croaker, he immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "Small yellow croaker, well, it can be considered a yellow croaker, how many are there?"
Li Xuan looked inside the barrel and said: "Three ounces and four ounces each weigh dozens of kilograms. The total weight should be about a hundred kilograms. There are also two larger ones, more than half a kilogram each."
"What?"
Fatty Wang was shocked, "You said there are dozens of kilograms of small yellow croakers weighing more than four taels, and two of them weigh more than half a kilogram?"
"Yes." Li Xuan smiled.
"Brother Li, are you serious? Are you sure you are not teasing Brother Wang?" Fatty Wang asked again.
Wild yellow croaker has become increasingly rare in recent years.
Pure wild yellow croaker is now completely extinct.
Although there are still small yellow croakers in the wild, they generally don't grow very big. Fatty Wang works with aquatic products every day, but it takes a long time to see more than four taels of wild small yellow croakers at a time.
As for the small yellow croaker weighing more than half a catty?
Fatty Wang had seen it before, but it was in someone else's hotel, when they treated it as a treasure and showed it off in front of their peers.
Li Xuan smiled, hung up the phone, took a photo and sent it directly.
After seeing the picture, Fatty Wang finally believed it. He quickly called the phone again and asked, "Brother Li, where are you now?"
"Still in Yulong Bay." Li Xuan smiled.
"Okay, I understand. You wait for me on the dock and I'll come right away." Fatty Wang continued.
Hang up the phone.
Chen Bin looked at Li Xuan with envy again, "Sold with just one phone call?"
Li Xuan glanced at him, "Yellow croaker is a high-grade seafood, and there are many in the market that are harvested by people. Didn't you see that the swimming crabs I caught the day before yesterday are still at home?"
Chen Bin pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Soon, the fishing boat returned to Yulong Bay Pier.
Fatty Wang hasn't come yet.
But they didn't keep the two of them waiting for long.
Chen Bin had just finished smoking one cigarette and was about to light a second one when two cars appeared on the pier.
But the person who got out of the car was not Fatty Wang.
"Brother Li, we meet again." Chen Tianzi laughed as soon as she got out of the car.
Li Xuan was a little surprised, "Boss Chen, why did you come in person?"
Chen Tianzi smiled and said: "Brother, the environment here is good. I have nothing to do anyway, so I just happened to come over and take a look."
"If you like it, come here often." Li Xuan said politely.
Chen Tianzi climbed up the pole, "Well, if I am free sometime, I will go to the sea with you and experience the life of fishing."
Li Xuan smiled, "Let's take a look at the croaker first?"
Chen Tianzi nodded quickly, those yellow croakers were the main purpose of his trip.
Li Xuan led Chen Tianzi to the unloading bridge, pointed to the two large wooden barrels on the ship's board and said, "Mr. Chen, take a look and see if you are satisfied with the quality of these fish."
Chen Tianzi stepped onto the boat in one step, then turned on the flashlight on her phone and looked carefully in the bucket.
"What about the two big ones?" Chen Tianzi raised her head and asked.
"In that wooden barrel." Li Xuan smiled.
Chen Tianzi hurriedly ran over to take a look. After a moment, he raised his head in surprise and said, "These two are really big, maybe they are seven or eight taels, right?"
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, "Mr. Chen, think about how much these fish are worth."
Chen Tianzi pondered for a moment and then said: "These two big ones, I will give you 10,000 yuan each. For the rest, if it is more than 4 taels, I will give you 1,010 kilograms, and if it is less than 4 taels, I will give you 1,51 kilograms.
What do you think?"
In fact, Chen Tianzi came here mainly just for the two big ones.
The remaining yellow croakers weighing three to four pounds each are rare, but they are not impossible to get with some effort.
As for these two yellow croakers weighing 70 to 80 pounds, after he takes them back, he can put them directly in the hotel and display them to the public as a treasure.
The price is similar to what Li Xuan knew. It's not a surprise, but it's acceptable.
But Chen Bin, who was next to Li Xuan, was trembling with fear.
Can a fish no bigger than a palm and shorter than an arm be sold for 10,000?
Is this world crazy?
Where is this selling fish?
