1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 172 Selling Catshark

When we arrived at the Zhong family, the brothers Zhong Kang and Zhong Ming had gone out to sea to look for fish, but Zhong Yongrui and Xu Ping were at home.

This was not the first time that Liang Ziqiang came here to make and receive calls, and he had become close to Zhong Kang and Zhong Ming recently. Xu Ping and his wife chatted with him for a few words and then said nothing else.

Liang Ziqiang called a landline. At first, it was not Jiang Wenang who answered the phone, but soon Jiang Wenang was called over.

As soon as Liang Ziqiang introduced himself, Jiang Wenang immediately remembered:

"It's Aqiang. By the way, those blue-billed brides were quite popular last time. We couldn't even sell enough! Did you find this fish somewhere else?"

Liang Ziqiang was silent for a moment: "The Blue-billed Bride was not found, this time it is a different species, much larger than the Blue-billed Bride. Cat shark, you mentioned this thing last time."

Jiang Wenang said in a surprised tone: "Did you find a cat shark? Is it the kind that is cream-colored with brown spots all over its body and glows at night?"

"Yes, that one. The small one is less than one meter long, and the big one is more than one meter long."

"How many did you catch?"

"There are eleven in total. Originally, I encountered dozens of them, but they are hard to catch, so I only caught these." Liang Ziqiang counted his own three, Lin Baixian's two, and Li Liang's six.

"Eleven is also OK! Let me see. I should be able to make time tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, I'll ask someone to drive me over to see you. You just wait for me in the village. When the price is due, I'll check the goods and tell you in person!"

The two agreed on a time and ended the call. Liang Ziqiang put some money on the table as usual as the cost of the call.

When I got home, I saw Duobao hovering on the edge of the large basin.

There were three cat sharks in the basin, which was covered with a lid. Now the lid was opened by Duobao. Duobao had a curious expression on his face and was looking into the basin.

The expression was very clear: What kind of treasure is hidden? Why is it covered up and I can’t see it?

After taking a look, he found that the cat shark inside was not a vegetarian either. It suddenly became fierce and looked at Duobao with a grin.

Duobao, this coward, tucked his tail between his legs and ran away on the spot.

After running a few steps, he thought about it and felt unconvinced, so he turned around and gave the three cat sharks in the basin a good scolding.

As a result, it was the cat shark's turn to be timid. Liang Ziqiang walked over and saw that the three cat sharks had no other way to deal with the dog except to make faces and throw fierce expressions. After being yelled at, the three cat sharks all huddled together, looking like "I'm so scared, what should I do?"

"Okay, okay, you'll have to go fishing with the guys in the future, so don't act like an inexperienced person!"

Liang Ziqiang mediated and helped the dog and the cat shark reach a temporary peace.

Soon it was dinner time, Liang Ziqiang finished his meal and planned to go to sleep in the cabin. There was no entertainment these days, and hugging his wife was the only thing to do after dinner.

I was sitting down on the edge of the bed when I suddenly slapped my forehead and realized that I had forgotten to do something important.

Jiang Wenang is coming tomorrow, but he forgot to tell Lin Baixian and Li Liang. Don't let them come from the city tomorrow, because those two guys are out early in the morning.

He got out of bed quickly and headed straight to Li Liang's house. Li Liang had six cat sharks, accounting for the majority.

Liang Ziqiang arrived at Li Liang's house and found that the family also went to bed very early. Even the lights were off and the door was locked.

"Li Liang, are you home?!" He knocked on the door and shouted into the room. It wasn't that he meant to disturb people's rest, this matter really couldn't be delayed.

The room was quiet for a moment, and then a voice came out that was beyond Liang Ziqiang's expectations:
"Who are you looking for? Who is Li Liang? I don't know him! There is no Li Liang in our family!"

Liang Ziqiang was stunned for a moment. He could tell that the voice was full of anger, like firecrackers. At the same time, he could also tell that it was the voice of Li Liang's mother.

"Auntie, aren't you Li Liang's mother? Why do you say that?" Liang Ziqiang said through the wooden door.

"You are Aqiang, right? He has grown strong now and has no regard for me and his father! He doesn't even want to live for a woman, so what are we? This family has nothing to do with him anymore, and you don't need to come here to look for Li Liang anymore!"

Ah, this. It seems that Li Liang is going head-to-head with his parents this time.

"Where is he going? Didn't he catch a few cat sharks during the day? Someone will come to buy them tomorrow. This requires money, so don't joke with me, auntie!" Liang Ziqiang had no choice but to speak frankly.

Hearing what he said, Li Liang's parents felt a little sorry for him. Li's father said:

"Thank you for coming all the way here. But Liangzi is really not at home. He was chased out by his mother and no one knows where he went to spend the night. You can go to Acai's house and see, maybe he is there..."

Liang Ziqiang was sure that Li Liang was kicked out of the house by his parents because he insisted on marrying Yuan Xiaomei... He decided to go to Deng Zhaocai's house again and comfort the tragic Li Liang.

As a result, when we arrived at Deng Zhaocai's house, the lights were on and they were not ready to go to bed yet.

A smell of smoke came from the kitchen on the side of the house, and then two men's voices floated out:

"Why did you sprinkle so much pepper on it? It doesn't even taste like fish. Why don't you just eat the pepper directly?"

"Fuck, you're obviously eating with a big appetite! Wait, it doesn't seem salty enough? Is there still time to add salt now?"

Liang Ziqiang leaned forward and saw Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai sitting in the kitchen, eating grilled fish with relish, completely entering a state of ecstasy.

"Li Liang, you are so happy here. I just heard that you were kicked out. I was worried about you for nothing!"

"What's there to worry about? My parents can't handle me. Just wait, they will definitely give in to me first!"

Liang Ziqiang: ...

The strategies for the struggle were all out, and Liang Ziqiang admired them silently.

After telling him about selling cat sharks tomorrow, Liang Ziqiang took a couple of bites of the fish and didn't stay for long. He went straight to the next stop, Lin Baixian's house.

As a result, this time the response came particularly quickly.

He had just raised his hand to knock on the door when a voice came from the side:
“Don’t knock!”

Liang Ziqiang was even more surprised this time than when he was at Li Liang's house before. After finally adapting to the darkness, he could see clearly that there seemed to be a humanoid creature lying on the dark ground outside the door...

"Ah Xian, is that you? Don't scare me. Why are you lying on the ground outside in the middle of the night? Were you beaten paralyzed by your parents? Can you still get up?" Liang Ziqiang said in surprise.

"I'm not paralyzed!" Lin Baixian sat up from the ground to prove his point. "I just felt that it was comfortable to sleep with the wind outside, so I pulled out a mat and made a bed on the ground outside. It was really comfortable. A-choo..."

Damn, it’s already the beginning of winter, and you told me that sleeping outside in the breeze is comfortable…

You might as well stay on the nameless island and not come back, and just sleep on the boat.

"You can't just confront your parents head-on. Can't you use some roundabout tactics?" Liang Ziqiang advised.

"Don't worry, they can't stand up to me. They must be the ones who surrender first. There's no point in being roundabout. I've told my parents so many times that I can't be drowned. I'm not afraid of Yuan Xiaomei's murderer. I'm tough..."

Liang Ziqiang found that he had underestimated this guy. He was not very tall, but his spirit of fighting to the end for a woman was no less than Li Liang's.

"That's right. You are so lucky. Why don't you come with me to Longjuling to fish in a few days?" Liang Ziqiang mobilized him immediately.

"You said there's a black dragon lurking in that sea?" Lin Baixian collapsed again immediately, "Forget it, I feel like my life is still not as strong as a dragon..."

I understand. These two guys only want to have sex with Yuan Xiaomei...

He never imagined that the most touching courtship story of the year would not happen in spring, but in winter.

Although he was moved, he couldn't help Lin Baixian as he was short of rooms and beds in his own home.

I helped him persuade his parents inside the house, and finally managed to get the guy back into the door.

As for whether it would be thrown out again, Liang Ziqiang didn't know.

The next day, Jiang Wen'ang arrived at the village on time. Liang Ziqiang saw that Li Liang and Lin Baixian were more lively than him, so he took the initiative to move the cat shark over and put it next to Jiang Wen'ang's car.

Jiang Wen'ang was quite satisfied with the quality of this batch of cat sharks.

"No matter the size or length, it's all 15 yuan. Don't worry, we've been friends for a long time, so I'll give you the highest price!"

Jiang Wen'ang thought about it and quoted the price of the cat shark.
