ocean hunter

Chapter 32
The golden drum eel, also known as the money fish, gets its name from the money-like spots on its body.

Whether it is soup, braised, steamed or used as an ornamental fish, it is very good.

It looks good, and the price is also good. The seafood store here sells it for 48 a catty, and you can't get it if you go late.

Lu Xiaolu sold 47, and there was a group of people waiting before the stall was set up.

Uncle Security is living a very happy life now, every day someone comes to pass cigarettes and ask him if Lu Xiaolu has gone to sea today.

If he goes out to sea, he will be waiting here at four o'clock every afternoon, so as not to pick out all the good fish.

Today, a couple of young men and women bought ten catties of golden drum eels at once. Lu Xiaolu recognized them, they were from the stall next door selling milk tea, and Xue Li often bought them at a discount.

"Why didn't you set up a stall today, Xiao Li?" Xue Li chatted with the girl while collecting money.

"Hey, the engagement banquet is tomorrow, and today we're going to buy some fish." The girl and the boy said happily, clasping their fingers together.

"Ah? Really? I'm so envious." Shirley clasped her hands in front of her chest, and stars appeared in her eyes.

Lu Xiaolu raised his head and was silent for a while, then packed up the three-pound moray eel and handed it to the boy.

"Ah? I've bought enough fish, so I won't buy any more." The boy waved his hands repeatedly, thinking that Lu Xiaolu was going to buy and sell by force, which was extremely embarrassing.

"For you."

"This"

Shirley laughed at the side: "Take it, rough card hey~"

"What?"

"It means congratulations." Lu Xiaolu was still holding the eel, and suddenly began to translate, and stayed by Xueli's side, but he knew a few words of Korean.

"Ah! Thank you, thank you!" The girl quickly reached out to take the eel.

"When the wedding is held, I will definitely send you invitations!"

"We want too, rough card hey!"

"Cough card hey, haha."

The people who were waiting to buy the fish booed one after another, making the young couple blush, and ran away with the fish. The atmosphere was very joyful.

They are happy, but the other side is not.

In the grandma's hotel, looking at the two swimming crabs with missing arms and broken legs, two small groupers weighing less than half a catty, and a big perch with a white belly in the bucket, the old horse and the aunt were dumbfounded.

"Is this the fish you caught today?"

The four of Zang Huazhuang were also a little embarrassed, and forced to explain: "Oh, bad luck today, there were obviously a lot of fish there yesterday, why are they gone today?"

The old horse was angry: "Didn't you say that you went with Lu Xiaolu yesterday? I just went around there, why is he full of fish?"

Several people clapped their hands: "Okay, let me tell you, no wonder he didn't go there today, because he already knew there were no fish there!"

"Damn! Don't tell us if you know, this person is real!"

A few of them complained there, and the old horse became impatient: "Okay, okay, I don't want to hear about your crap, what should we do now!"

In order to restore the image, the aunt has released all the news. Today, the seafood in the store is absolutely wild, and the whole shop is [-]% off.

It's good now, just the few rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs in the bucket, plus the few in the water tank, probably not enough for a table.

Oh, by the way, there are still dried sea cucumbers in the warehouse, which are being distributed.

But just one sea cucumber is not enough.

"It's still too late to find Lu Xiaolu! Hurry up!"

"It's all like that, will he sell it to us?"

At the critical moment, He Shicong came up with an idea: "Can't we just find someone he doesn't know?"

The old horse thought it was right, and quickly called the chopping boss over, and asked Zang Huazhuang and the others to lead the way to buy fish.

When we arrived at the stall, the boss of the chopping board had a problem. There were a lot of fish and they were fresh, but there were too few types. One pot contained golden drum eels, and the other pot contained some moray eels, moray eels, and a few crabs. not big.

I can only call Lao Ma and let him make up his mind.

The old horse was anxious to death: "It's all over, don't worry about anything, just buy them all!"

The boss of the chopping board felt relieved when he heard it, and raised his hand and shouted: "Let's go, let's go, I'll take care of everything!"

The uncles and aunts who lined up were not happy when they heard it: "Who are you, you, you can pack it if you say so, go away."

"That's right, if you buy a few fish, you still think you are a rich man, so why don't you get rid of your baldness if you have money?"

"."

These uncles and aunts are too tough, and the boss of the chopping board can only line up obediently.

After finally reaching the front, there were only seven or eight golden drum eels left, five or six squids, and one Shi Jiugong.

He can't control that much, he wants it all.

It's not uncommon for someone to buy so many fish, so Lu Xiaolu picked up the net and gave him all the fish.

"And the ones over there, and those little ones too."

"."

Lu Xiaolu filled the pot of small miscellaneous fish, small crabs and so on for him again.

Shirley clicked the calculator beside her.

"A total of 385, I'll charge you 380."

Looking at the fish he brought back, the old horse almost had a heart attack in anger: "Why is this all? What are these small miscellaneous fish and crabs bought for!"

"There's only so much left, didn't you ask Quan to buy it?" The cutting board boss was very aggrieved.

"What? Did you make a mistake, one sea cucumber and one seafood soup is called a seafood feast?"

"How can I make up the minimum consumption? Is it possible to order potato shreds?"

"What a fart! Is it easy for me to come all the way to eat seafood once? The food stalls in my hometown have more seafood than this!"

"I heard that there is a fishing village nearby, go there and eat."

Ten private rooms were reserved, eight tables of guests all ran away, and another table of guests insisted on ordering potato shreds for 1288 yuan, which scared the manager, and quickly said that there is no minimum consumption, and one hundred is fine.

Lao Ma is very sad sitting in the kitchen office, and now he feels that he will be sorry for his boss if he is not fired.

Now the only chance lies with the four of Zang Huazhuang.

"You have to follow Lu Xiaolu tomorrow, wherever he goes, you go!"

"to make!"

In the evening, study room.

"Little donkey, what time will you go to sea tomorrow?"

"Don't go."

"Um, why!"

"I take electives."

"All right."

Lu Xiaolu's side was hopeless, and the four of them were very distressed. After discussing for half an hour, they gritted their teeth and fought hard!
Since you can't find fish, use time to cook.

As soon as the self-study class was over, the four of them took some food and thick clothes and went to the pier.

It's just that when I got to the front, I was a little hesitant. The sea at night was extremely scary, with only the sound of wind and waves.

Fortunately, there were searchlights on board, otherwise the four of them would have dared to go to sea.

In this way, they did not dare to run too far, and stopped the boat less than one kilometer from the coastline.

The lights of the city in the distance gave them a sense of security.

Once every three hours, four people are divided into two groups, and take turns to get off the net and raise the net.

It is not so difficult to have food to replenish energy at any time.

Although I was shivering from the cold and my eyelids were fighting, I felt a sense of accomplishment watching the fish gradually increasing in the cabin.

Until four or five o'clock in the morning, several people were almost blown through by the wind, shouting weakly that they would never come at night again next time.

How do you feel, it's like staying in an Internet cafe for three consecutive days.
