Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 203 Testing the waters successfully
"Quickly, open the bilge, put the fish in, and then put some sea water in, the live fish is more valuable!" Wang Zheng spoke first, directing several people to open the bilge.

This big ship has a hold, which is covered with wooden boards, like a basement, and those who are not familiar with it will not know it.

The entrance to the bilge was opened, and everyone pushed the fish toward the entrance. Some people used wooden buckets to fetch water from the sea and pour it into the bilge.

Finally, all the fish were put in. Everyone was exhausted and sweating. The main thing was not to be too rough for fear of killing the fish.

The fishermen’s fishing boats here are relatively small. Some of the fish caught are put into buckets, and most of them are piled up in the cabin. After being transported to the shore, most of them die. Dried fish, sold to caravans.

Seeing the bilge full of fish gives me a sense of accomplishment, and I can't wait to go back and sell the fish immediately!

"Fourth Young Master, do we still have to go forward?" Wang Zheng asked. Their boat was sailing fast. Calculated by the speed, they would be able to see Jidong Island if they walked forward for another hour.

Zhou Yue understood what he meant. They could see Jidong Island, and the people on the island would surely find them too. The wolf army did not appear in the open now and could not be discovered by others.

"Forget it, let's stop testing the waters this time. If we have a chance, we can visit Jidong Island again in the future," Zhou Yue said.

They have such a big ship, the target is too big, and they will use a small boat to explore the island another day.

"Okay, let's return!"

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, he went to direct the helmsman to return to the voyage, while Lin Shangwu and a group of people squatted at the bottom hatch to watch the fish.

"Look, there's a fish over there that looks like a snake!" Pan Shan pointed to the bottom cabin and said.

"It's true! It's just fatter than a snake." The person next to him nodded and said.

Zhou Yue walked over and took a look, "That's an eel, and its teeth are quite sharp. Be careful when you catch it, don't get bitten."

"Eel? Fourth son, what kind of fish is that flat piece? It looks like a fan!" asked the soldier next to him.

"That's a ray." Zhou Yue replied.

"When you go back, ask the fishermen and sort out the fish. Different fish have different prices. Don't sell them cheaply," Zhou Yue warned.

Some fish are more expensive, such as grouper and the like, while ordinary fish are cheaper, and sometimes the price can vary many times.

"Don't worry, fourth son, I will ask people to inquire about the price after I go back, and I will definitely not let people cheat me." Lin Shangwu said, patting his chest.

"Don't look here. Let's make another net. Let's keep this net for ourselves. When you get back, let the gang leader cook it for you!" Zhou Yue asked these people to get up quickly.

"Oh! That's great! Come on, brothers, let's move more quickly and go back to eat fish!" Lin Shangwu clapped his hands and led the people towards the fishing net.

"Go, let's go!"

"Wait for me, my feet are numb from squatting..."

A group of people cast the net into the water as they did before and waited to collect it.

"Fourth Young Master, there is no need for this. We are already eating very well now, and it is more appropriate to sell these for money." Wang Zheng came over and said to Zhou Yue.

He felt very sorry that the four princes spent money on food and drink for tens of thousands of people. What they now eat are white flour, steamed buns and rice, and they are full of vegetables and meat. This is much better than the food and salaries paid by the court.

When they were stationed at Changping Pass before, they ate vegetable dough dumplings, which were wild vegetables mixed with noodles and steamed. Because the food and salaries paid by the court were relatively small, they had never eaten steamed buns made of pure white noodles.

Not to mention vegetables, cabbage and radish are boiled into a soup, which is a little salty and eaten as a vegetable. Only during the Chinese New Year can there be some minced meat in the soup, which gives it a little more flavor than usual.

After coming here with the fourth son, their eating and drinking has been greatly improved, and most of the soldiers have gained weight and become more energetic.

They can't help the fourth young master, so it's better to sell fish if they have the nerve to eat fish.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more. Just take whatever I give you. I know it well." Zhou Yue stopped his persuasion.

Not to mention that the things in her space can be copied at will, even if you spend money to buy food, the gold bricks in her space that are piled up into a wall are more than enough to support them.

Wang Zheng felt sorry for Zhou Yue's silver. They don't have to fight now, and they don't have to eat so well. "But this is too luxurious. So many fish can be sold for a lot of silver!"

Zhou Yue glanced at him and joked: "Okay, okay, stop nagging, you are about to become the housekeeper, don't forget, you are the deputy general of the Wolf Army."

Wang Zheng glanced at Zhou Yue resentfully, then turned and went to Lin Shangwu.

"Hey, boss, you're here, come and pull the net with us!" Lin Shangwu was so happy that he couldn't help but greet Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng saw that he was grinning and looked clueless, so he raised his hand and gave him a slap on the back of the head, "Stop laughing, you look like a fool!"

You brat, you still laugh when I am dismissed as a housekeeper!Is it easy for me?

"How can I?" Lin Shangwu was unconvinced.

"I said yes! Stop giggling!" Wang Zheng said with a straight face.

Lin Shangwu scratched his head. Could it be that he really looked like a fool when he smiled?Then he had better not laugh in the future, lest the Fourth Young Master see him and laugh at his stupidity.

Wang Zheng saw that he was lost in thought and quickly walked to the fishing net to help pull it.

This net is still full of harvest, fish and shrimp are spread out on the boat, colorful fish are jumping back and forth, the scene is still shocking.

"Hey! It's quite profitable to be a fisherman!" Pan Shan exclaimed.

"It's because we have such a big boat that we can catch so many fish. You have also seen those fishermen's boats, which are so small and slow, so they can't catch many fish.

Dead fish can't be sold at a good price, and the sea is changing rapidly. If the fisherman is in the situation today, he will lose all his money. "

After listening to Wang Zheng's explanation, everyone was lost in thought.

Indeed, they were shaken by the short-term harvest, and some of them wavered a little, only to wake up after listening to Wang Zheng's words.

Today's harvest is not due to their ability, but because of the external force of the big ship. Even if they are not on the ship, they will still gain so much.

And if they leave this ship, can they still gain a lot?The answer is no. They will be like the father and son today. When they are lucky, they will gain a little, but when they are unlucky, they will not be able to recover anything.

After being awakened, everyone was a little embarrassed, looking guilty, like a paper tiger that had been pierced, and the proud look was no longer there.

Seeing that they were like eggplants beaten by Shuang, Zhou Yue said: "Our purpose this time is to test the waters of the new ship. The test was successful, so we should be happy."

"These fish are just an extra harvest. With such a big ship, we can't rely on fishing for a living. I plan to arrange for people to go overseas for trade. That is the real money-making industry!"
