Fisherman: Making A Fortune Starts By Reporting Spies

"4680 yuan!"

Su Xiangdong didn't let his third uncle wait for too long. If he hadn't carefully looked at the collection records, he would have found out directly by looking at the general ledger: "After calculation, the total is just over 600 kilograms."

"It weighs more than 600 kilograms!"

Uncle Su gave a rare smile and seemed happy for his nephew, but he was also a little unwilling: "It's a pity that three nets are worth a lot of money."

Fresh fish are also so popular that they are almost rushed to buy in the town market. In order to speed up the fish removal, they also asked them to cut off one sticky net that could have been saved, and all three sticky nets were scrapped.

"One ticket only costs 200 yuan. Including the cost of diesel, it's almost 800 yuan. I still make 3,880 yuan."

Su Xiangdong didn't take it seriously. In order to relieve the third uncle's secret pain, he couldn't help but add one more sentence: "When I go to sea, I not only put out sticky nets, but also 50 rows of ground cages. I will collect them early tomorrow morning. There should be a lot of shrimps and crabs."

"You also put up a ground cage?"

Uncle Su was stunned and didn't know what to say. It took him a long time to say this: "You have such a big heart. The floor cage is not cheap."

"Okay, tomorrow morning, at 4 o'clock, I'll wake you up, and I'll collect the cage with you." Uncle Su added one more sentence.

"become!"

Su Xiangdong did not refuse. It is really not easy to collect the floor cage by one person. Although it can be collected by one person, it is always good to have an extra helper.

Probably a small gain.

My uncle and aunt were also very happy. There was a little more laughter at the dinner table, which was better than before.

After dinner, I wanted to chat with my uncle and aunt for a while, but they were driven away by the two of them. It was still early, but considering that we were going to sea at early 4 a.m. for the second time, we really should rest early.

A family that makes a living by fishing.

Not to mention getting up at four in the morning, even if you get up at three in the morning, make preparations, and set sail at 3:30, there are always people there.

This is probably one of the reasons why fewer and fewer people make a living from fishing.

Starlight!

A quarter past four in the morning.

The uncle and nephew set off, equipped with all the equipment including headlamps and remote lighting for fishing boats.

After all, Third Uncle Su sometimes goes out to sea with Third Aunt in the early hours of the morning, so there is no need for lighting equipment, which is a common thing.

"Boom!"

Su Xiangdong is still at the helm. He grew up here and can find the location of the reef in the dark.

There were remote lights, and the tide was low in the early morning. In less than twenty minutes, the fishermen arrived at our location in the ground cage.

No need to say hello.

There was a big foam buoy floating on the sea. Uncle Su pulled the first cage with his hook.

Su Xiangdong was not idle either. He turned off the engine and came over to help. The ground cage was not light and was even heavier as it was soaked in water.

Look!

Fishing is not easy at all, it is just physical work, there is also the cost of gas and luck, and there is always the risk of losing money. It is no wonder that fewer and fewer people are engaged in this industry.

"It's available!" Uncle Su's eyes were sharp, and he could tell if it was available by shining the headlight on his forehead.

"A good start!"

Su Xiangdong smiled in agreement. He knew early on whether the goods were available. Not only did he know that there were goods, but he also knew that there were many: "It must be because no one has placed floor cages in this area for too long, right?"

"You are also brave, alas..."

Uncle Su had wanted to say it for a long time, but some of the words were unlucky, so he couldn't bear to say them. He was also shocked by the sight of the completely pulled up cage: "This cage is about to explode."

"Ha...they're all three-eyed crabs."

Su Xiangdong reported the species, which is also the name of their place. Its real scientific name should be Red Star Swimming Crab: "It shouldn't be cheap now, right?"

"Sold to large wholesalers, this one costs about thirty yuan a pound, and the smaller ones cost seven or eight yuan. For a small fishmonger, it costs thirty-five or six."

Uncle Su is very clear about the price of high-value seafood, but he doesn’t remember the price of high-value seafood: “For retail, it’s no problem to pick a bigger one and sell it for 60 yuan per catty. Try your luck after recycling. If Some people come to the beach to buy them, and the larger ones cost 80 yuan a pound. Those who come here early in the morning to buy shallow-water seafood are all people who are not short of money, and they are willing to pay."

"Dele!"

Su Xiangdong grinned and agreed. In fact, he had already calculated in his mind how much income he could bring by putting down these 50 rows of floor cages.

Mutated eyes are coming!

Although he couldn't see through them all, he could see about 30 rows of cages, and he already knew how much to gain.

And he was the one who placed the floor cage. Before putting it down, he specially adjusted the opening of the floor cage to make it wider than usual.

Slightly smaller crabs or shrimps can crawl out after getting in and eating the bait, except for some unlucky ones.

That's it!

The crabs or shrimps that are still in the cage are basically relatively large, and the smaller ones have long since run away.
