1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 173 Destined to Make Money Alone (Additional Update)
When Lin Baixian heard this, he had an opinion:

"The last blue-billed bride was only this big. This one is so many times bigger than that one, and the price is only three times, it must be too low!"

Jiang Wenang explained: "In terms of beauty and rarity, the blue-mouthed bridefish is definitely better than this fish. You can't simply compare them based on size..."

"Brother Jiang," Liang Ziqiang pointed at the cat shark in the basin, "but in terms of difficulty to catch, this fish is much harder than the blue-mouthed bride! Ask them how far we chased them? In the end, these are all we caught. The main group went straight to the deep sea, and we could only watch helplessly."

Jiang Wen'ang listened and hesitated for a moment.

Liang Ziqiang then added: "You must make a profit in the middle, we understand that. But our business is not a one-time thing. If you offer a higher price, we will have more energy to catch fish next time!"

Jiang Wen'ang's sales channel is different from that of Yuehai Restaurant, so his purchase price must fully take the intermediate profit into consideration.

After some hesitation, the price went from fifteen to over twenty yuan, and finally settled at thirty yuan per piece.

Unfortunately, Liang Ziqiang had to drive the boat and cast the net by himself yesterday, so he caught too few cat sharks. Otherwise, if he caught more than ten of those dozens of cat sharks, he could have earned four or five hundred yuan.

Jiang Wen'ang started to pay them the bill.

Liang Ziqiang got three and got ninety yuan.

Lin Baixian bought two and got 60 yuan.

Li Liang earned the most yesterday, selling six pieces for 180 yuan.

After receiving the goods, Jiang Wenang did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he quietly pulled Liang Ziqiang aside and asked him mysteriously:
"Last time, can you go to Taiquan Island again and get that abalone?"

"Did your father take it and it worked?" Liang Ziqiang thought that the abalone must be effective in treating asthma, but then he thought something else and felt that it was not right. "You dried and preserved the abalone, so it should be enough for your father to eat for a long time. Why did he finish it so quickly?"

Liang Ziqiang had specially taught him a method last time. He said that if the abalone is dried in the sun, it can be preserved for a long time, and his father can take some out from time to time to make soup.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wenang was a bit shy:

"Not only does my dad eat it, I've been eating it too lately."

Liang Ziqiang was shocked: "You also have asthma? Can't I tell?"

Jiang Wenang: "I also discovered it by accident. This thing not only cures asthma, but also has other miraculous effects!"

"Miraculous effect?" Even Liang Ziqiang didn't know. "What miraculous effect?"

Jiang Wenang was already extremely shy:
"I've found that I've become more assertive recently, and my wife is more satisfied with me!"

Liang Ziqiang's mind turned for a moment before he came to his senses: "There is such a thing? It is indeed a miraculous effect!"

This can really be classified as little-known knowledge.

An idea immediately popped up in my mind: why not go to Moss Spring Island again next time? If for no other reason, I would like to make some myself, cook it, and try it out.

But then he thought about it and it didn't make sense. His wife had always been very satisfied with him, too satisfied, and often restricted him from making too much noise.

What's more important is that his wife hasn't passed the first trimester of pregnancy yet, so some things are not suitable for her. What if she cooks this thing and takes it and finds it's really effective, how will he solve the problem?
You can't let your wife's hand dislocate, right?
Liang Ziqiang was a little embarrassed: "We can go to Taiquan Island, but the weather is colder now than last time, and I don't know if I can find abalone!"

"If you happen to be fishing in that area, please help me look for it!"

It can be seen that Jiang Wenang is quite anxious, with an expression that says "the medicine cannot be stopped".

Liang Ziqiang promised to try to find time to visit again.

He definitely couldn't go recently. The next day, seeing that the weather was good, he immediately called Lin Baixian and set off for Wuming Island again.

He did not give up and always wanted to try his luck at the nameless island to see if it was possible that a small number of the escaped groupers had returned to the island.

The two of them boarded Ono Island again and sat on the reef for a long time. It wasn't that they didn't catch any fish.

There was only one sea bass and one golden retriever in total.

It's better to catch nothing. Compared with sea bass and grouper, the money is negligible.

This also proved that the groupers and snappers in the islands and reefs were really wiped out by the cat sharks that came down from the sky last time, and they either fled or never came back. The sea bass and snapper had obviously just swam over from not far away from the sea surface.

After the two confirmed it, they had to accept the fact that they would not be able to catch grouper in the near future, and then they carried buckets and bags to catch chicken snails.

The two of them specifically looked for reefs that had not been dug up before, and they discovered some chicken claw snails.

This is also due to Liang Ziqiang's decisive decision last time to burn the oystercatcher's nest. This bloody tragedy forced the oystercatcher to fly away in tears and never come to the island again.

Otherwise, these snails would not be enough for them to have as snacks. If they crack a little bit every day, in the end there would be only shells left on the ground.

But this time, he couldn't pry out too many chicken claw snails. Du Ziteng said that he couldn't keep them for too long.

The number of abalone has obviously decreased this time. It's not because they were killed by cat sharks, but because the weather has become colder and all those who can hide under the water have done so.

There was no grouper to fish for, so there was no need to stay overnight on the island. The two of them returned the same day with some conches and abalone, arriving home before dark.

Liang's father and his elder brother had also returned from the sea. Liang's father asked him:
"I heard that there are no more groupers to fish on the island this time. What are your plans for the future? How about getting on your boat and going with me to the sea to look for winter fish?"

Father Liang has been searching for winter floods on the sea these days.

Liang Ziqiang asked his father: "Did you find anything?"

"Nothing has been discovered yet," Liang's father was not discouraged. "The temperature hasn't dropped enough. If the temperature drops again, there should be a winter flood."

Liang Tiancheng replied in a somewhat disappointed tone, "Even if the temperature drops further, we may not be able to find them during the winter flood! These fish swim back to the deep sea and have no fixed route. They go here and there. It's really hard to find them depending on luck. In previous years, we didn't find many fish during the winter flood!"

"Stop saying such discouraging things. The time hasn't come yet. You know you won't be able to find it when the time comes!" Liang's father paused and glared at his son.

Seeing that his father and elder brother were in a situation where there were no fish to catch during the off-season, Liang Ziqiang wanted to tell them that people in later generations had discovered a "natural deep-sea winter fishing ground" and a "winter golden channel" in a remote shallow sea area. He also wanted to persuade them to go to that golden channel with him, sit back and wait, and rob the passing winter fish.

He thought for a moment and said:

"I heard someone say that there is a place where there are a lot of winter fish every year. All kinds of fish gather there from all directions. If you are willing to go, it's no problem to fill a few boats with them!"

"Where are you talking about? I've been fishing for so many years and I'm no more experienced than them, so how come I've never heard of such a place?" Liang's father was skeptical.

"You should know this, right, Long Juling Dad?"

"You mean there?!" Liang's father's face changed instantly. "Who told you there were fish to catch there? Was it those old men from the Yang family? They obviously want to kill you and vent their anger on Yang Xi and Yang Qing! These old men are so evil, their livers and lungs are rotten..."

Liang Ziqiang: "..."

He also didn't expect that his father would start talking about a drama of grudges and revenge over a disagreement.

This time I really don't care about those bad old guys from the Yang family...

"You are absolutely not allowed to go to that place! Fishermen throughout the ages have had accidents there and never returned. Several decades ago, some fearless people went there again and died there too! In the past thirty or forty years, no villagers have gone there to die. Anyway, that place is remote and has been almost forgotten. What do you think the old men from the Yang family are thinking of bringing this up to you?"

"Dad, those accidents you mentioned probably happened in summer, right?" Liang Ziqiang asked tentatively.

"I was still young at that time, and when I thought about it, it seemed so, right? If something happened in the summer, there would be no need to think about it in the winter. You took over the black dragon's territory, so it doesn't care what season it is!" said my father firmly.

After hearing this for a while, the mother also ran over to warn Liang Ziqiang:

"What's wrong with you and Lin Baixian? Are you trying to see who has a stronger fate? He and Li Liang are fighting with their own parents just to marry a woman who will bring bad luck to their husbands! You just want to run to a place where there are dragons. You should think more about Xiang Bei and the baby in her belly!"

How come this is the same as Li Liang and Lin Baixian? Isn't my wife much better than Yuan Xiaomei? Who is as stubborn as those two?

Liang Ziqiang knew that he shouldn't have asked his father for this. He just wanted to make his father and elder brother's pockets fatter, but he ended up restricting his own movements.

However, this matter cannot limit him, he must go to Longjuling...
