1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 455 The matchmaker is matchmaking for Litchi
For the next two days, the Ziqiang stayed in this sea area and patiently fished for groupers.

Sometimes, we are full of expectations, but what we catch is just a few pounds of grouper, including blue grouper, tiger grouper, oil grouper, and even red grouper from overseas.

But every few times we cast, we would catch a giant grouper, and we could catch about four or five a day. By the time we were about to return, we had already caught ten giant groupers, plus the occasional ones we caught with the trawl net at the beginning, a total of thirteen.

Normally, Liang Ziqiang would feel extremely excited if he got one piece of the fish. Now, he got thirteen pieces in one go. How could he not be excited?

Although the frequency of groupers appearing has become lower and lower as we fished later, it is certain that there are still giant groupers in the deep reefs on the seabed.

"Brother Feng, your fishing rod is quite powerful. It should be hard to buy in Yanghai City, right? I've been to a fishing equipment store before, and even there they didn't have this kind of fishing rod!"

On the way back from the voyage, Liang Ziqiang asked Lu Feng.

"This is definitely not available in Yanghai. If you want to continue fishing for giant groupers, you must have this kind of fishing rod. I have a way to buy it. How many rods do you want to buy?"

Lu Feng naturally understood that Liang Ziqiang would continue to go to the same sea area to fish for groupers in the future.

"Eight poles, can you buy it?"

Liang Ziqiang thought that if he could buy it, the next time he came here, he would have two rods on each boat and go fishing together, so there would be six rods for three boats and two extra rods as backup.

There was no need to have more fishing rods, because they were all big fish, and one person alone might not be able to catch them, so three people had to work together. There were only a few people on each boat, so two fishing rods were enough.

Since they have been friends for so many years and they had just gone through the incident with You Lijun, Lu Feng did not refuse to help where he could. He immediately mentioned the price of the fishing rod and agreed that Liang Ziqiang would pay for it next time he could buy it.

After returning to the shore, he sold all the ordinary fish in the county town and then went to the city.

Du Ziteng happily received the fin of the hammerhead shark.

Then Liang Ziqiang told him that there were thirteen giant groupers on the boat. As they were all very large, they could not be divided up and sold separately, so Du Ziteng had to send a car to Sham Shui Po to load them over.

"Giant grouper? How big?" Du Ziteng didn't know how big he was talking about. A grouper weighing dozens of kilograms can still be called a giant grouper.

"The smaller ones weigh about 100 kilograms, and the larger ones can weigh 200 to 300 kilograms!"

"So big? And you caught more than ten at a time? You can't breed this thing!"

"It's from the deep sea. Do you want to take a look first?"

"What are you looking at? I'll arrange a truck to transport the goods right away!" Du Ziteng made the decision without even blinking.

But Liang Ziqiang clearly remembered that the last time he brought a large batch of farmed grouper to sell, Du Ziteng said that it was too much and the hotel couldn't digest it all at once, and the amount that could be stored was limited.

Now we have caught more than a dozen giant groupers in one go. The quantity is not small at all. One of them is equivalent to more than a hundred of them last time.

On the contrary, Du Ziteng never mentioned the problem of having no place to store it, nor did he complain at all about the quantity.

"Oh, that's right. With so many giant groupers, this store alone definitely can't handle them all in a short period of time. But giant groupers are such a rare commodity. If I can't handle them all, won't I ship them to the stores over in Hong Kong Island? The Yuehai over there will also be vying for such good stuff!"

Du Ziteng seemed to see what Liang Ziqiang was thinking and explained.

The restaurant that Du Ziteng works in is just a branch of Yuehai Restaurant in Yanghai City. However, there are several other Yuehai restaurants in Hong Kong Island, which is equivalent to a chain.

It is not necessary to go through the trouble to transport the usual seafood to Hong Kong Island, but giant grouper is indeed a rare commodity, so even if it takes time and effort to transport it to the few stores in Hong Kong Island, it is bound to be very popular.

Liang Ziqiang understood. He had originally thought that if Du Ziteng couldn't eat all the giant groupers, he would go back to the county town and sell them to Wei Pan. Now it seems that this is a much easier thing to do.

The truck that usually transports food was soon called, and Liang Ziqiang got on the truck and took Du Ziteng to the boat.

Arriving at Sham Lo Wan, Liang Ziqiang asked the crew to move all thirteen giant groupers from the cold storage cabin. Du Ziteng took a closer look at a few of them and immediately decided to transport all of them back to Yuehai for weighing. The thirteen giant groupers were sold for more than 20,000 yuan.

Normally in ordinary sea areas, the combined harvest of three ships in five days is only five or six thousand, but this time, the giant grouper alone is equivalent to several trips to the sea!

After returning to Juzipo from the city, he was walking on the road not far from home when he saw another figure coming from his direction. He even greeted him and his son:

"Brother Fu, Aqiang, are you back from making a fortune outside?"

Liang Ziqiang responded, but he was a little confused in his heart. Isn't Yue Tao usually a matchmaker everywhere? She doesn't often come here to visit, so why did she come to my house today?
Yue Tao and Lu Hongyu are quite different. Lu Hongyu saw that Chen Xiangbei from her mother's family was good-looking and a good match for Liang Ziqiang, so she brought them together when visiting relatives.

This year Yue Tao was a bit like a professional matchmaker. She facilitated many marriages, but failed to facilitate even more.

"What's the matter with you coming to our house? Zifeng?" Liang's father also muttered, "That doesn't make sense. Why would Zifeng be a matchmaker now?"

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Lizhi squatting on the ground wiping her tears, and Chen Xiangbei was trying to persuade her.

"What's going on?" Liang Ziqiang walked over and asked them.

"It's still that Aunt Tao!" Chen Xiangbei patted Lizhi's shoulder to comfort her, and nodded towards Yuetao's back in the distance.

As he was talking, Liang's mother came out of the house and said to Liang's father with a sullen face:
"This Yue Tao is the same. Why would she introduce someone with a disabled leg to our Li Zhi?"

"Are you here to propose marriage to Lizhi? I said she is fine, why did she come to our house? Which village has disabled people?"

Liang's father asked about the situation in detail, and Liang's mother explained it in detail.

When Liang Ziqiang heard this, he realized that it was none other than the disabled husband that Lizhi had married in her previous life.

In the previous life, due to a huge change in the family, Liang's mother could not support Lizhi by herself, so she had no choice but to agree to the matchmaker and marry Lizhi to a disabled man from another village. Lizhi was only sixteen years old that year.

I didn't expect that after such a long time in this life, the disabled man has not yet married. Moreover, after many twists and turns, he also asked a matchmaker to come to the Liang family just like in the previous life, but it was only two years later than in the previous life.

"I won't marry! If you want to marry, marry Duobao to him!" Lizhi cried.

"..." Liang Ziqiang was shocked by this sudden inter-species marriage.

Duobao also ran over and rubbed Litchi comfortingly, with an expression that he was willing to share her worries and do the work for her. He must have forgotten that he was a man...

"No, no, no, you didn't hear me. I have already rejected Yuetao! If you are going to marry, marry someone decent. Instead of marrying someone like this, you might as well stay with me!" Liang's mother was annoyed when she saw Lizhi crying, so she told him.

"You can rest assured now. Everyone said that your parents wouldn't agree to this!" Chen Xiangbei continued to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, Lizhi started crying louder:

"I won't marry anyone decent. I won't marry anyone! I don't want anyone. I just want to stay at home!"

Crying and making a fuss.

Liang Jingcheng, who is almost two years old, appeared out of nowhere.

"Ok!"

He nodded, raised his little arm seriously, and put a piece of paper into Lizhi's hand.

Seeing the human-shaped lines drawn on the paper, the whole family suddenly became quiet...
