He Laifu nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, that's the most important thing. Damn it, if only I were here, I could have chopped their heads off with a few strokes."

He Zhenzhen rolled her eyes.

"Brother, don't show off. What's the use of cutting off heads? Bayi is the real expert. They kept following the clues and uncovered a bunch of stinking big shots. They made them pay us a big ship."

"We've upgraded from a 'bird gun' to a 'cannon'; what used to be a fishing boat worth 10000 yuan is now worth over 90,000 or 100,000 yuan."

"Hahaha, I'm so happy!"

Niu Bayi was also beaming with joy.

"That's right, killing them all gave me a sense of relief, but I didn't gain anything from it, so it wasn't very interesting. Now that we have this fishing boat, we can go out to sea further and catch more fish."

Then, he turned to look at Chen Liuqi.

"Brother Liuqi, go back to town tonight and see which of those brothers can go out to sea. I remember several of them were seriously injured, and a few were not so badly injured."

"You can ask them if it's possible to go out to sea."

"However, we've been very busy and exhausted today, so we'll rest tomorrow and head out to sea at midnight the day after tomorrow."

Chen Liuqi was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.

"I'll talk to them when I get back. Of course, even if those who are seriously injured want to come, I won't let them. We can't let things get delayed."

He Laifu suddenly raised his hand.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go out to sea with you, to the farthest seas, and catch even more fish."

Niu Bayi scratched the back of his head.

"Brother-in-law, I'm very happy that you want to come out to sea with me, but Dad needs help. If you come with me, he won't be able to go out to sea to fish alone."

"Why don't you continue to help Dad first, and when conditions are right in the future, for example, when I buy a bigger and more stable boat, we can go out to sea to fish together, and Dad can come along too."

Niu Bayi's words actually had another meaning.

He could also tell that his father-in-law was a rather stubborn old fisherman.

He liked to go out to sea to fish by himself and give orders.

If you go fishing on your son-in-law's boat, you'll inevitably have to take orders from him.

His old heart might not be able to take it.

Of course, this cannot be said outright; it must be said as tactfully as possible.

He Laifu understood and could only nod.

Hearing Niu Bayi say this, He Rong breathed a slight sigh of relief; his son-in-law was indeed clever.

He raised a glass of wine.

"Come on, Bayi, I must congratulate you. In such a short time, you've acquired another big fishing boat, which means you can catch even more fish. You're destined to become rich."

"My daughter will have a good life ahead of her if she stays with you."

He Zhenzhen proudly said, "Of course, what do we call the 'Male and Female Overlords' when Bayi takes me out to sea? I'm the female overlord, and he's the male overlord."

Immediately, everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the fine wine in one gulp.

Then, He Rong thought of something.

"Auntie, there's something I need to tell you about the fishing. My boat can't go. I wasn't planning to tell you anyway, because your boat can't go either."

"But now that we have large ships that can go to seas more than 100 kilometers away, we can try our luck."

Upon hearing this, Niu Bayi's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded.

"Dad, what is it?"

He Rong then began to speak.

This was something he heard from an old friend who owned a relatively large ship capable of operating in the open sea.

About 120 kilometers to the southwest, in the sea, someone discovered the giant flounder, and there were quite a few of them.

Moreover, these flounders are quite heavy; each one can easily weigh three or four pounds, or even more than seven or eight pounds.

There might be more than ten kilograms hidden inside.

Flatfish, also known as flounder, prefer to inhabit muddy seabeds at depths of 40 to 50 meters, where there are no reefs or rocks.

They hide inside, feeding on small fish and shrimp, and rarely leave the seabed.

Therefore, it belongs to the bottom-dwelling fish category.

To catch them, only medium to large-sized fishing boats with trawl nets can sink directly to the seabed and drag them there.

If you're lucky, you can make quite a bit.

He Zhenzhen's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"I heard that small flounders are worthless, only a few cents a pound, and you can't eat them anyway. They're dried and made into fish powder, used as a condiment, or used to make fish sauce and the like."

"But halibut weighing two or three pounds or more can sell for more than one or two yuan per pound."

"And the bigger it is, the more expensive it is."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and reached out to grab Niu Bayi's wrist.

"August 1st, our current fish hold can hold five or six thousand catties of fish. If it's all filled with flounder, my goodness, we'll really make a fortune. We can just transport it to the city dock and sell it. Once it's resold, we'll probably make at least twenty or thirty thousand."

Immediately, everyone was filled with anticipation.

Niu Ba clapped his hands.

"Okay, it's decided then. Get a good rest tomorrow, and set sail at midnight the day after tomorrow. We'll head to the southwest sea and see if we're lucky enough to catch a whole hold full of flounder."

Su Puyue raised her hand high.

"Okay, I want to go too."

Niu Bayi asked curiously, "Don't you have your own work to do anymore? Besides, I see that your survey work in the village was completed a long time ago, you should be back in the city to work."

Su Puyue blushed, feeling somewhat puzzled.

How did that idiot know my research was finished?

However, she certainly couldn't say that it was finished.

She said, "The research is basically complete, but after the research, I still need to write a summary report, and the current state of the fishermen's ecology is also my next area of ​​research."

"I'm going out to sea with you precisely to make these preparations in advance. What's wrong, Bayi? You won't let me go out to sea?"

"Zhenzhen, look at your man! He won't let me go out to sea; he thinks I'm a burden!"

Niu Ba was speechless.

No, I only said one thing: why are you criticizing me so much? I didn't say you were a burden.

He Zhenzhen stretched out an arm, hooked it around Niu Bayi's neck, and kissed him on the cheek in front of everyone.

Then, she patiently guided her.

"Ba Yi, Sister Pu Yu is our good friend. She wants to go fishing at sea and experience life, so we should take her along. Friends should love each other and try their best to meet each other's needs, right?"

Niu Bayi was both amused and exasperated, and couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

This young lady will send your man away sooner or later.

But there was no other way but to nod.

Su Puyue excitedly raised her two little hands to He Zhenzhen, and He Zhenzhen also raised her hands high.

Snapped!

Two beautiful girls gave each other a high five, looking especially excited and like sisters.

After finishing his meal, Chen Liuqi hurriedly rode his bicycle back to town to find his wife and go to sleep.

He Zhenzhen turned around and went into the room, bringing out pillows and other things.

Su Puyue looked at it with a puzzled expression.
