As the crowd was untying the fish and chatting,

Suddenly, Shi Yubo exclaimed in surprise:

“Wow! I didn’t expect there was a big turtle in the fishing net!”

He reached out and grabbed an old turtle from the net and showed it to everyone.

It was indeed not small, weighing about 7 or 8 kilograms.

It was considered very big among turtles, and the turtle was estimated to be more than ten years old.

“Then let’s keep this old turtle tonight, and stew an old turtle soup later to nourish everyone!”

Before everyone spoke, Shi Lin arranged a way for the old turtle first,

Smiling and telling everyone about the efficacy of the old turtle soup,

“Uncles and aunts, don’t rush to leave later, stay and drink a bowl of old turtle soup.

This thing nourishes yin and strengthens yang, it is good for men and women, and it is even better for two people! Drink it and you will be energetic all night!”

Hearing his words, Lao Shi, who originally wanted to say that this old turtle is very valuable, shook his head and was too lazy to say anything.

Anyway, this truckload of fish today can already sell for a lot of money, so it’s not impossible to be a little extravagant and make an old turtle soup to nourish it.

Ye Meihui didn’t say no, but glared at Shi Lin,

“What nonsense are you talking about? Old Turtle Soup is good, do you need to tell me? People who haven’t married yet don’t know how to keep their mouth shut.”

In her opinion, her son’s reputation in the village has reversed from before, which is great.

It’s just right to take advantage of this time to arrange his marriage.

Don’t let bad things like him being a playboy and making dirty jokes get out at this critical moment.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

The aunts teased Shi Lin,

“You haven’t married yet, don’t drink too much at night, or you won’t be able to sleep!”

They just helped to fish, and Shi Lin seemed to want to give them the fish to take home, and also to treat them to Old Turtle Soup.

The uncles and aunts who came to help all laughed very happily.

Originally, they were idle at home late at night, so they came to join in the fun and lend a hand, but they didn’t expect to get an unexpected reward.

And the harvest was not small, and the value was even higher than what they had gained from working in the fields all day.

How could they not be happy?

Thinking of what Shi Lin said about the efficacy of the old turtle soup,

Several aunts had already looked at their spouses with deep meaning, and the smiles on their faces were so strong that they could not be melted.

Several uncles were also very happy, and were discussing that they would have two drinks together later (after drinking enough, they would go home and fall asleep)…

More than a dozen adults were busy together, and Shi Lin did not care about the damage to the fishing net, so the speed of untying the fish was still very fast.

It took about 20 minutes to untie all the fish.

I didn’t count how many fish there were, but everyone present basically estimated that the net weighed about 1,000 kilograms.

It was really a lot!

And there were many big fish.

Even Shi Lin, a big sack owner, didn’t have enough sacks at home.

Later, Shi Yujun went home and brought sacks over, which was enough for him to pack all the fish.

The harvest of this trip, except for some left for giving away and eating, the rest of the fish were packed into 16 sacks.

More than ten of them were shot by Shi Lin at the beginning, and the others were caught by Shi Lin in one net.

This net was mainly carp, and there were some other fish.

In order to distinguish them better when Liu Baoquan came, the 16 sacks were not all filled.

Some sacks only contained one or two big fish,

Some sacks were full, all of which were small carp weighing one or two kilograms.

Finally, everyone put the 16 sacks on the tricycle together, and Shi Lin, Shi Yujun and Hu Feihong got on the car together and drove to Shanghe Village.

The three of them left with the catch, and the family was not idle either.

Everyone helped together, killing fish, chickens, and turtles, and they started to have midnight snacks with laughter!

……

Shanghe Village

There is a tractor parked in front of Liu Baoquan’s house, and the back of the tractor is loaded with goods that fill up half of the car.

Liu Baoquan collected all these goods in one afternoon, mainly mountain products, and a small part of fish.

Liu Baoquan had already delivered all the goods collected in the morning in the afternoon.

This is the second trip he has to make today.

The driver of the tractor saw that there was no more goods left at Liu Baoquan’s house, so he said to Liu Baoquan:

“Brother Quan, you have finished loading the goods, who will go to the county town with me today?”

When delivering goods to the county town, in addition to Liu Baoquan himself, he would usually ask his cousin or his brother-in-law to go with him.

After all, Liu Baoquan’s business has really grown now, and it is impossible for him to do everything by himself as before.

He doesn’t have the time or energy.

This afternoon, Liu BaoquanHaving followed the tractor once, the tractor master thought that he would probably let others follow it at night.

Unexpectedly, Liu Baoquan said, “Don’t leave yet, wait a little longer.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. It was already completely dark, and the goods in the house had been moved to the tractor. What were they waiting for?

His cousin Liu Baoxiang had already put on thick clothes and was ready to go out.

Unexpectedly, Liu Baoquan said to wait a little longer?

What was he waiting for?

He had made an appointment with Xiaoli in the hair salon, and it cost 20 yuan to stay overnight.

Going half an hour late would mean a loss of two or three yuan for him.

He said to Liu Baoquan:

“Brother, the goods in the house have been moved, and it’s almost nine o’clock now. No one should be coming to deliver the goods, right?”

Liu Baoquan glanced at him and saw that he had changed his clothes and put on mousse. How could he not understand his cousin’s thoughts?

He sighed in silence and said:

“Wait a little longer and see if Brother Linzi will come again. There is not enough cargo on this truck tonight.

We have just negotiated a contract with several bosses and have only fulfilled it for two days. We are out of stock now. How can we cooperate in the future?”

Liu Baoquan has taken too big a step these days. Seeing that he receives a lot of goods every day,

he looks for hotels, vegetable markets, fish stalls, butcher shops, department stores, etc. to discuss cooperation and supply agreements.

It was OK before. The goods shipped every day were enough for him to promise to each store.

But it suddenly stopped working today.

The mountain products collected today are barely enough, but the gap in fish catch is too big!

In the morning, there were those giants in Shilin to support it. The weight was enough, but it was not enough to share with several stores. In fact, it was not enough.

Excluding the two super fish in Shilin, he actually only delivered more than 200 kilograms of fish.

In the afternoon, there were even fewer. After collecting fish for an entire afternoon, he collected less than 200 kilograms of fish.

According to the quantity he promised to the several households in the county, he had to supply at least 800 kilograms of fish a day, which was still more than half of the supply!

How could he just deliver it like that?

Once in the county, who would give these fish to? What if the remaining households had no fish to give?

Liu Baoquan was so worried that his scalp was about to be ripped off.

Liu Baoxiang also knew about this matter and said angrily:

“It’s all Feng Si’s fault. He insisted on having sturgeons for a dinner party, and now he’s offering a reward, which has made all the fishermen focus on sturgeons.”

At noon, Feng Si spread the news throughout the county that

he would buy sturgeons at a high price these days.

On weekdays, the purchase price of a large sturgeon is about one to two yuan per catty.

This time, Feng Si directly offered a price.

For sturgeons weighing more than 60 catties, he would buy them at 5 yuan per catty.

For sturgeons weighing more than 80 catties, he would buy them at 8 yuan per catty.

For sturgeons weighing more than 100 catties, he would buy them at 10 yuan per catty.

If you have bigger ones, you can talk to him about the price.

When the news came out, all the fishermen were stunned.

The price of sturgeons has increased several times!

If you catch a sturgeon weighing 100 catties now, you can earn thousands of yuan!

You know, a millionaire is still a synonym for being rich these days.

Catching a sturgeon weighing 100 catties can make you one of the ten millionaires!

If you catch a bigger one, you can negotiate the price…

How can this not make all the fishermen excited!

Who doesn’t want to try their luck?

Besides, fishermen in the vicinity basically know that there are sturgeons in the river.

It is not so rare as to say it is rare. Every now and then, one or two will appear in the market.

In this case, we are all fishermen. Can we not try our best?
