Chapter 243 Shock

When he hurriedly asked Ah Cai to borrow a bicycle and found a tractor to come over, the shore was already crowded with people on three levels inside and outside.

"Everyone give way, give way..."

You don't need to think about it to know that the news that they caught the oarfish must have spread, and the villagers on the shore gathered around to watch the excitement.

Just as Ye Yaodong was about to squeeze in from the crowd, he was grabbed by Xiaoxiao and Azheng.

"Fuck...Dongzi, you are here, I am about to find you. Where did you catch the oarfish?"

"Yes, where did you catch it? It's so big, it almost blinded me."

The villagers nearby saw him and gathered around him and asked: "How many meters is the oarfish? It looks so long. Where did you catch it?"

"I just heard that it's called the Earthquake Fish..."

"Is there an earthquake coming here?"

"I heard it might be a tsunami..."

Everyone gathered around him and asked a lot of questions. It happened to be when the fishing boat docked. Except for the early morning, this was the busiest time on the dock, and there were people everywhere.

Ye Yaodong's ears were buzzing with everyone's words and questions. He quickly raised his hands, "Wait, wait, let me lift the fish to the shore first. Everyone, please cooperate and give way..." …”

"Oh... Give way... Give way... You guys let A Dong pass first..."

"The one in front gives way...A Dong is here..."

Ye Yaodong finally squeezed his way through the crowd and climbed onto the boat, and Xiao Azheng and the others followed suit and climbed onto the boat.

There were already several villagers who were familiar with his father discussing it on the boat, as well as several relatives of his family. Ah Cai was also measuring the length at close range.

Just in time, he also wanted to know how many meters away, so Ye Yaodong quickly stepped forward to help.

"Are you ready? How many meters?"

"6.3 meters, holy shit, you're an incredible oarfish. There hasn't been one in the past few decades. Can I help you contact the seller?" Ah Cai looked at him longingly.

"Didn't my father tell you? I plan to send it to the dock in town to alert everyone and see if there are any bidders?"

"Oh, I told you, didn't I want to ask you this? It would be easier for me to contact the buyer directly..."

"You should collect the goods on the boat first. There is also a parrotfish. I have to deliver this oarfish to the town."

If it is sent to the dock, it will be more eye-catching and sensational, and more people will know about it. If it is widely advertised, the boss who bids will definitely have more people than the people he has contacted. He does not do business at a loss!

Ye Yaodong said as he asked his two friends to carry it together. Seeing this, the others also started to take action.

Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen such a big oarfish in my life! Of course you have to raise your hand!

Father Ye has already touched it countless times. He is staying on the boat to look at the goods. He will slowly move the goods and weigh them after they are sent away.

Ah Cai quickly followed him and said, "That's just my hand. Let me weigh it. Everyone is still curious about how much this oarfish weighs."

"Okay."

"I'm going to ask someone to bring out the scale first."

The width of this oarfish's body is almost as wide as that of an adult, and its size is terrifying.

Seven or eight people slowly walked out of the boat carrying the fish body. Actually, there were not so many people, but everyone was very curious and wanted to help.

Ye Yaodong was a little regretful. It would have been nice if he had a camera. He could take a photo and record it. This was his rare highlight moment.

"Everyone, give in, give in..."

"Give me a moment and let us bring the fish ashore..."

"Boom~ Such a big hairtail, I have never seen such a big one in my life."

"I've already said it's an oarfish, but you still have an oarfish... This is an earthquake fish... It's so rare..."

"Oh my God...it's really big...it's so long...I've never seen it before..."

"Is there really going to be an earthquake? Or a tsunami? Will it be unstable in the next few days?"

"Is this going to be sent to the town for auction..."

Ah Cai greeted the people watching the excitement and helped to lift the scale out and place it on the open space at the door.

Afraid that the fish would be too long to weigh, he took a wide broken wooden board and placed it on the scale, which would make it easier to weigh.

The crowd automatically made a way out of the way, and everyone gathered the long oarfish into several circles and placed it on the wooden board for weighing.

Everyone gathered around, stretching their heads to watch Ah Cai add weights one by one. When the scale started to float, he fiddled with the scale back and forth. Only when the scale swung back and forth in the middle did he excitedly say: "Fuck!" , weighing 202 pounds and 4 taels, the weight of the horse is so big, it is heavier than the big dragon we weighed a few days ago."

The villagers were in an uproar, and the crowd also burst into exclamations.

Ye Yaodong quickly reminded him, "There are also boards, and the weight of the boards must also be deducted!"

"I know, you move the fish away first. You guys just brought the fish up before we even had time to weigh the planks."

Ah Cai waited for them to move the fish away, then took off all the weights, and then placed a five-pound weight and a one-pound weight on them.

"The plank lost exactly 6 kilograms, and the fish weighs 196 kilograms and 4 taels."

Everyone was so excited that maybe people from other villages came to see them and thought they were all arrested together...

"Okay, it's been measured and weighed. Let's hurry up and move it into the car."

Amidst the discussion among the villagers and with everyone's help, the group of people lifted the oarfish to the tractor, then formed it into several circles before placing it on it. Ye Yaodong jumped on the tractor and stood carefully in the gap. , don't step on it.

He also called Xiao Azheng and the others to come up together. Of course, such a big fish would require a few more people to help.

Strength in numbers is certainly better than going it alone.

What if you encounter someone who is unreasonable?

"Dongzi, can you let your two cousins ​​go too? If you have more people, you can move around and help if you need anything." Mother Ye felt that there were a little few of them, and the eldest son and the second son had not gone to sea yet. When she came back, she planned to call her two eldest nephews to help.

"Okay, I'm about to ask my two cousins ​​to go too."

Others were also a little eager to follow and wanted to watch the fun, but they didn't say anything and were too embarrassed to follow.

After everyone stood on the vehicle, the tractor began to change direction, and the villagers cooperated to get out of the way. Just as the tractor was about to drive away, another shout came from behind.

"Wait, Dongzi, wait for me, I haven't gotten in the car yet..."

Ye Yaodong heard this and looked over. It was A Guang who was squeezing through the crowd. He quickly asked the tractor master to stop first.

"You just came back?"

Aguang ran forward quickly, put one hand on the tractor, and then jumped on.

"Damn it, is it really that big? I didn't believe it when your father told you on the boat. It's really that big..."

As he spoke, he touched the fish head with his hand, "How many pounds and meters does this one weigh?"

"6 meters 3, 196 pounds 4 taels."

"***Ni Ma, you got rich again. Where did you get it? Why haven't I encountered such a good thing? It seems that I still have to follow you."

Ye Yaodong grinned happily and said: "I just found it on the sea when I was going to collect the longline, but I didn't know what it was at that time. It just looked a little strange under the water, so I drove the boat and followed it. …”

He briefly told everyone in the car about his encounter with the oarfish, and everyone couldn't help but secretly scold him for his bad luck.

They are also working at sea, why don't they have such an adventure? He was the first to do any good thing, and he was almost furious.

"Made, take me to the island you met tomorrow and see if you can pick one up for me?" A Guang said with envy.

"Give one of us a piece too!"

"Fuck, are you dreaming?"

"I have never even heard of oarfish? If I saw it, I would probably just ignore it, but you can still follow it."

Ye Yaodong said proudly: "So I will teach you a lesson today. If you encounter strange things at sea, it is best to follow them and take a look. If you are afraid of danger, you can not follow them so close. You may find something different. .”

"It really is."
