Chapter 212: Selling Fish

The first time Bian Rui saw the sailfish, and the first time he saw someone lifting the sailfish on the spot. Old Henry was very quick-witted and knew at a glance that there was a living person on his hands. The machete about 40 cm long was playing on his hands. Soon the swordfish's head was removed.

Bian Rui looked at Old Henry's fish and turned to talk to Zhou Zheng, but his eyes moved to his left and found that Zhou Zheng, who was standing beside him, had disappeared. After searching around, he saw him taking Xiao Ya's fat bait box and hanging it on his rod.

The little girl was not willing to rest. She still got bait and pulled the boat to the side of the boat and looked straight at the fishing float on the sea, waiting for the big fish to take the bait twice.

Soon both of them had fish on their rods, but unfortunately, the fish were not big. Of course, this was not big, compared with the two just now, and it was still much bigger than the average catch.

Like Zhou Zheng caught a big-eyed tuna, but it was only about twenty pounds, which was far less than the size of the little girl fishing. Another small hairtail came up with the little girl.

These two fish were pulled onto the boat without any effort.

Next, the two continued to bait and fish, but the fish were still some uneven fish. Zhou Zheng also caught a small shark.

After 7 o'clock, Bian Rui couldn't cook anymore. He returned to the cabin and started to make a fire and started cooking. Braised hairtail fish must be found. Bian Rui chopped two hairtail fish into fish segments according to the Chinese method, then marinated cooking wine and other food, finally wrapped it with flour and fryed in a oil pan, and then fried it until golden and braised.

The grouper was steamed, and Bian Rui didn't know much about the remaining fish, and the two dishes of the three of them were enough. As for the small big-eyed tuna, Zhou Zheng said he was going back to make sashimi, so naturally he didn't have to worry about Bian Rui.

It has to be said that Henry and the two sailors were on the boat, as long as you didn't call them, they could hardly feel their presence. When they were having dinner, Bian Rui was still going to invite them to come and have a meal, but Zhou Zheng stopped them because they had their own principles.

After Bian Rui understood, he realized that people like Henry would not eat with their employers. This is their rule. It has nothing to do with this social status, and they will not feel inferior. They distinguish work and life very clearly, and rarely bring work things into life, and rarely bring life to work.

Anyway, Bian Rui doesn't have to let them come and have dinner with him, so it's best if it doesn't matter.

After dinner, Bian Rui took his daughter back to his room on the boat. After a while, he fell asleep. He pulled a fish for a few hours and was not exhausted.

The little girl also hugged her father and fell asleep. The father and daughter spent a lot of effort today and slept until dawn. When the father and daughter got up, the dock was already far away.

Bian Rui poured a cup of coffee and came to the door of the cab. While drinking, he chatted with Henry, and asked him what he did before he was a captain, because Bian Rui was a little interested in his method of fish removal, so he had nothing to do to chat anyway.

Old Henry said: "I used to work on fishing boats, and my main job was to handle catches. Now I am old and can't do this job..."

"Can you get such a high salary when dealing with a catch?" Bian Rui was shocked by Henry's salary. Even Mingzhu's white-collar workers were less than half as good as others, and they only had to work for three months.

Henry said again: "This life is not as easy as you think. Every year, fishermen die in the sea. Do you think you were tired when you pulled fish yesterday? In reality, the work on a fishing boat is ten times more tiring than this, and you can only sleep for three hours a day. If you are lucky, you can only have five hours..."

Bian Rui said: "That's really hard."

While chatting, Bian Rui found that the boat was walking a little wrong, not the route he had left yesterday afternoon, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Why don't we go back to our original berth?"

Before Old Henry could speak, Zhou Zheng came out of the cabin and was wrapped in a flannel over the knee pajamas with a hood, and they were black and white stripes, dressed a bit like a zebra.

"Now, go to the fishing wharf, no one is collecting fish there. By the way, Henry, how are the fish preserved?"

Henry said: "It's very good, at least it won't affect the meat quality when you arrive at the fishing pier."

"That's good! Oh, I forgot to ask the little girl where she wanted to buy this fish and what price she could accept." Zhou Zheng said happily and was about to turn around.

Bian Rui quickly called him: "Isn't it enough for you to decide on this matter? Why did you ask her, how could she, a little girl, know about this?"

Zhou Zheng said: "Why can't people make decisions on their fish?"

After saying that, he ran into the cabin and seemed to have chatted with the little girl again.

Bian Rui looked at Zhou Zheng's figure and disappeared from his sight, then smiled awkwardly at Henry.

Henry said: "The boss likes children very much. Today I realized that he is so gentle to children. I originally thought he is the kind of person who doesn't like children very much, and he is not very interested in women..."

"Wait, I admit that I like children, but I don't have much interest in women, where did you draw the conclusion from?" Bian Ruiting was speechless. If Zhou Zheng was not very interested in women, Rui would like to see what a man who was very interested in women would look like.

Henry was also very curious and asked back, "Is it big? I have been out of the sea many times, and every time I don't notice that he has brought his girlfriend. Unlike other rich people who go out to sea, they will bring different women every time, and some even bring a few at a time."

Bian Rui had no choice but to say oh.

The two were chatting when they heard someone saying hello coming from beside them. The English accent was very strong, and Bian Rui couldn't quite understand what the person was saying.

However, the person who came obviously didn't say anything to Bian Rui. After saying a few words to Henry, he smiled enthusiastically at Bian Rui.

This is also a captain, but his boat is a serious fishing boat, which is about half smaller than Zhou Zheng's yacht, about twenty-one meters long, and a standard sea fishing boat.

When he approached the dock, Henry found a place to stop. As soon as the boat approached the dock, he saw a middle-aged bald man in his forties walking over and asked Henry with a list in his hand.

"There are fish?"

Henry said: "There are fish, all of them are big-eyed tuna, and another sailfish..."

As he said that, Henry pointed to the fishing catch in two large ice bags on the bow of the boat.

Just looking at these two bags, the person who came knew that the fish was not small, so he came directly from the pier to the boat and came to the next side of the bag. He stretched out his hand to untie the bag and took a look in.

"What a beautiful fish!"

"Give a good price, it was caught by a little girl on our boat," said Henry.

At this time, Zhou Zheng and the little girl came up to watch the fun. When Henry said and pointed at him, the smart little girl immediately understood the general meaning, pointed at himself as if showing off and said loudly: "I caught it, I caught it!"

I was speaking English. Although the words were a bit inaccurate, the fish collector on the dock still understood. He said a compliment to the little girl and crawled back to the dock.

After getting on the dock, the man immediately asked someone to hang the fish from the boat. Because Zhou Zheng's yacht did not have such a large freezer, the fish were just kept briefly. Fortunately, if it was summer in winter, such a big fish would not be able to keep it fresh when sent back to the dock overnight.

After getting on the crane, the sailfish was quickly lifted to the dock. After weighing the weight and checking the grade, the fish was loaded into a huge foam box, filled with ice, and finally transported back to the warehouse by a cart.

Next was the heavy-eyed tuna. When the ice pack was opened, the owner of the nearby ship exclaimed.

"I guess I can run for this year's championship. I think there are 400 pounds," said a ship owner.

Another ship owner said: "This fish looks very fat, and if the meat can be reached, it will probably be worth 1,500 US dollars."

...

Bian Rui listened to the nearby ship owner discussing the size of the fish in a lively manner, so he asked Henry curiously: "There is still a selection activity here?"

Henry smiled and said, "Yes, but there is no bonus, it's just honor. Only the old fisherman values ​​this very seriously. For them, life is imperfect if they don't win such a prize in their lifetime. For ordinary people, it's just a little happy. This fish has hope. Who will come up and take a photo later?"

Bian Rui listened and looked at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng immediately waved his hand: "I'd better forget it, let's go there."

The little girl nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I'll go!"

Bian Rui smiled and said, "What if someone asks you to say something?"

The little girl said, "I just said, thank you, this is my honor..."

Bian Rui was very surprised when he heard it: "When did English become so good?"

The little girl said, "What my godfather taught me just now."

"Okay, if you want to go up, go up." Bian Rui thought it would be good to give his child a chance to practice courage, so he stopped talking.

The fish was already hung up at this time. Several dock workers carefully placed the fish horizontally on the scale. When the fish was put firmly, the numbers on the scale not only shocked the people on the dock, but even Bian Rui was stunned. He originally thought that there were only about four hundred pounds, but who knew that after he couldn't put the scale, he directly showed 460 pounds.

"What is the biggest one?" someone asked on the dock.

"Three hundred and fifty pounds, bluefin tuna" another answered on the dock.

The 350-pound bluefin tuna is not big, but this is the biggest catch on the dock this year, and the 450-pound big-eyed tuna of Little Girl has a great chance of winning.

Zhou Zheng helped the little girl to take a photo on the shore, while Bian Rui was taking photos below.

When the little girl arrived at the dock, she was quite good at holding the fish with one hand and comparing the V with the other, and was happy to look at the camera.

What Bian Rui didn't expect was that there were reporters coming to interview his daughter, but the little girl's Yingli sold her quickly. However, the little girl did not show any timidity, but directly started talking in Chinese, talking about how to get the fish. The narrative process was clear and organized, and the performance was quite good.

Everything went through. The little girl had two more orders in her hands, which was an authorized contract.

Originally, according to Bian Rui's idea, the fish was sold to the company on the dock. Who knew that this was not what they did. The fishing company just sold the money on behalf of others, so after paying the money at the dock, they couldn't get the money. It would take a few days to get the money after the fish was sold. The business model here is already very mature, and it is impossible for the fishing company to escape with the money, so the little girl doesn't need to worry about her money.
