American Ranch

Chapter 64 Money fan 【Recommendation】

There is not much fresh water on board, just enough for Ellie to take a simple shower...

There is no door from the deck to the cabin, Ellie is nervous, and glances outside from time to time, for fear that Chen Mo will sneak in.

Dry the underwear inside, put on Chen Mo's t-shirt, cast another glance, come out of the cabin, and hang the clothes and trousers to dry: "Has the tuna gone?" Seeing that Chen Mo hadn't moved much, Ellie asked.

"I didn't run away. But... I couldn't pull it up." Chen Mo felt that the fishing line was about to break several times, so he didn't dare to use too much strength.

"Don't worry, pull slowly. I'll make you a fishing buckle. When the fish comes over, try to catch it with the fishing buckle." Ellie found the hemp rope and sat next to Chen Mo. The long legs are dazzling.

"I think, otherwise let's forget it." After more than half an hour of grinding, Chen Mo was really not sure how to pull up this fish. Those white and tender legs are so beautiful...

Ai Li found that Chen Mo was peeking at her, and her face blushed slightly: "This fish... are you sure you don't want it anymore?"

"Of course you can catch it. There are bluefin tuna on the fish ticket..."

Allie puffed her cheeks.

Bluefin tuna is notoriously expensive, and this big fish might be enough for her tuition down payment.It's a pity that Chen Mo wasn't sure about the fish he pulled up, and she certainly couldn't pull it up... She was dragged into the sea just now.

"Come on, keep working hard. Maybe it will come up... very valuable... um... valuable." Ellie's beautiful black eyes under her long eyelashes are full of symbols of beautiful knives.

an hour...

The line was surprisingly strong.The long fishing line was retracted for tens of meters, and released for another dozen meters...

Repeatedly like this, maybe it can really be pulled up.

It's been an hour and a half...

Chen Mo's nervousness and anticipation slowly faded away, leaving only his full attention.

"Come on." Ellie continued to cheer Chen Mo up, standing behind her and massaging Chen Mo's shoulders with her small fists.

"God, it's so hard to catch a fish." The fishing line was unexpectedly strong, and the fish was bigger than expected.

"come on……"

After tossing with a fish for almost two hours, Ellie also seemed weak, but the small eyes of the money fan became brighter and brighter, and she sat next to Chen Mo with two white and tender legs dangling, with a sweet smile on her face: "Boss... ..."

"Ok?"

"I also have credit for catching this fish, can you share half of it with me?"

"Can you finish eating?" Chen Mo felt that his arms were sore, and his calves were also sore. It was too painful to slip this big fish.

Ellie secretly gritted her teeth, grimaced, looked up affectionately, and smiled sweetly: "I've never eaten bluefin tuna. You know, my family is very poor and I can't afford it... this big fish I want to eat." If you take it home and put it in the refrigerator, you can eat it for a whole year... You know I'm still growing, and it's necessary to supplement nutrition..."

"Cheating ghosts." Chen Mo looked down at Ellie...

Chen Mo's white shirt looks too big on her, with plain steamed buns open at the neckline... It's still the white cartoon-patterned chest wrap...

This girl, the occasional touch of style is really too much to bear.

"Hey..." Ellie looked up, with a silly smile on her face, squinting at Chen Mo, coquettish and cute.

"Whether you can catch it or not is a question. If you catch it, you will share one-third of it, no more."

Ellie nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking rice: "Thank you, boss."

It's past two o'clock at noon...

Chen Mo is still fishing...

After eating something and continuing, his patience was exhausted little by little. If it wasn't for Ellie cheering on him, Chen Mo would have given up long ago.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, a patrol boat of the Coast Guard thought something happened to them and came to check. They knew that they had caught a bluefin tuna. After checking Chen Mo's fish ticket, an elderly coast guard boarded the boat to help Chen Mo fish The buckle caught the fish...

The fish hooked at eleven o'clock in the morning was almost four o'clock when it was caught.Or with someone helping.

"You are lucky. The last time someone caught bluefin tuna in the nearby waters was several years ago... This fish needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. It is worthless after a long time." The coast patrol and the caught bluefin tuna took a picture Photo, waved away.

Chen Mo waved his hand and said thank you.

"Quick, get ready to go back." Ellie urged.

"Shouldn't you bleed the fish first?"

"You know how to bleed?"

"I won't, but someone will..." Chen Mo called Bai Xiaoou, asked Bai Xiaoou to learn how the chef bled bluefin tuna, and then went straight to San Francisco's North Point pier...

At the pier, Ellie had already changed back into her clothes, and couldn't wait to jump ashore to pull the rope.

Bai Xiaoou and a chef from Weilun's restaurant were waiting for him at the pier, seeing Ellie give him a strange look...

"Let me see the legendary two-hundred-pound bluefin tuna." Bai Xiaoou smiled at Ellie, jumped onto the boat, and saw the mouth of this bluefin tuna opened into an O shape: "Damn, big guy, How did you pull it up?"

"Play with your life." Chen Mo said weakly,

The tuna was more than two meters long and weighed about 230 catties after bleeding.

"Nice... I thought you were joking."

Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoou were chatting, and Ellie was in a hurry: "The fish... have to deal with it quickly." After a long time, the color of the meat is not good, so it is worthless.

The fresh color is the best, and then an approximate estimate can be given based on the fat density.In the U.S. market, good bluefin tuna usually sells for more than $42 per pound...the cheap ones cost twenty or thirty dollars a pound.

Waylon Catering Company has a very high-grade restaurant in Russian Hill, and the delivery of the tuna caused quite a stir. Before the weight of the fish was weighed, someone ordered the tuna...

This tuna weighed 227 lbs lightly.Very fresh, pink in color, slightly darker in color, less fat overall...

Chen Mo asked for two pieces of sashimi and one piece of back meat, and then packed them up and sold them to the restaurant...the price was US$55 per pound, and the bill was paid on the spot, which was US$11550.

"gone."

"Aren't you staying for dinner?"

"I came here by boat, so I can't go back too late."

Bai Xiaoou sent Chen Mo to the pier.

On the way back, Chen Mo deliberately didn't mention the money. Ai Li sat beside Chen Mo, smiling silly at Chen Mo from time to time...she seemed to have fleas growing on her body, and squeezed Chen Mo from time to time...

"Hehe..." Ellie looked at Chen Mo.

"Huh?" Chen Mo looked at her sullenly, "What are you laughing at?"

"I said...you said...that...we discussed it just now, and you forget something from time to time."

"what?"

Ellie bit her lower lip: "Oh, it's... about money."

Chen Mo laughed...

This girl is really heroic, for the sake of the fish, she even jumped into the sea... In the sea, she still clung to the fishing rod desperately and did not let go, she was really convinced.

Chen Mo took out a check, 1.155 US dollars, and waved it in front of Ellie...

Ellie's eyeballs followed the check.

If Chen Mo threw the check into the sea at this time, Ellie would definitely jump off without hesitation, there is no doubt about it.Seeing that Ellie's mouth was pouting higher and higher, Chen Mo stopped teasing her, and handed over the payment: "Here."

"Thank you boss." Ellie hugged Chen Mo excitedly, then shyly let go, shrinking her head: "Give it all to me?"

"Beautiful idea. Your share, one-third. The rest is your salary up front, and we're going to Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, and the California Valley next. We said earlier Well, only the accommodation expenses will be reimbursed, and the food expenses should be paid by yourself... You were poor before, so I don’t blame you. But for the next trip, shouldn’t you be generous once in a while, and treat me, the boss, to a big meal.”

Ellie's little face doesn't know what to do, almost any mood can be written on her face, picky, twitchy... her face is full of reluctance.
