After Big Gray left, the reeds returned to calm.
Xu Qingfeng and Junzi continued fishing.
As time went by, there were gradually more fish in the bucket.
Wang Xiaojun caught a lot of fish.
It's just not as big as the one caught by Xu Qingfeng.
Xu Qingfeng has two poles, one of which uses a large fishing line and hook, specially designed to catch big fish.
The fish in this pole must be at least five pounds in size.
But this is something Wang Xiaojun cannot envy.
His current skills don't allow him to use this big stick.
"The bucket is almost full, Brother Feng." Wang Xiaojun said to Xu Qingfeng.
Xu Qingfeng frowned. They came in a hurry this time and did not prepare fish guards.
This is a problem.
But it's easy to solve.
That is, go to the place where the ground cage is placed and get a ground cage.
"Junzi, go collect a cage."
Wang Xiaojun's eyes lit up, this was a good idea, and he immediately went to get the cage.
Without fish protection, the ground cage can also serve as a temporary spare tire.
When fishing in the wild, fish protection is still very important.
Xu Qingfeng found a place by the river, cleaned up the nearby weeds, and placed the ground cage that Junzi had brought back in the water, with the fish inlet exposed.
"Brother Feng, I didn't pay attention to these things when fishing before. The dead fish you bring back are not edible." Wang Xiaojun was a little puzzled when he saw that Xu Qingfeng cared so much about the life and death of the fish he caught.
"You also said that I used to fish for my own food, and I plan to take these big fish to the forest farm to sell. Is that the same?" Xu Qingfeng smiled slightly.
There is a huge price gap between live fish and dead fish.
Only live fish can sell for high prices. If the fish dies, the price will be greatly reduced.
"How was the harvest from the ground cage just now?" Xu Qingfeng asked Wang Xiaojun.
Wang Xiaojun took a small bucket: "Here, it's all in there. There are about three to five kilograms of small fish and shrimps."
In the past, with these harvests, Wang Xiaojun would have laughed from ear to ear, but now that he has caught so many big fish, he is not very excited when he sees these small fish and shrimps.
This is the contrast brought about by contrast.
"Ten cages weigh about forty or fifty kilograms. Let's go back after fishing for a while." Xu Qingfeng looked at the sky and said that if he went back now, he would almost get off work at the forest farm, so he could still catch up with the sales.
"Brother Feng, I always feel that the risk of doing this is too great. What if I get caught by the red armband?"
Although Xu Qingfeng returned triumphantly yesterday and made a lot of money.
But Wang Xiaojun was still a little wary, always feeling that the money came from something wrong.
"Okay, Junzi, let me tell you something. The brave will starve to death and the timid will starve to death. If you go to the forest farm with me, we will get 50% of the money sold. If you don't go, then I will just I can give you 20%, you can think about it yourself." Xu Qingfeng did not say anything, insisting that Wang Xiaojun follow him to the forest farm.
Wang Xiaojun shook his head: "Brother Feng, I don't need 20%. I just contributed a little bit. You can just give me some. How can I share the money?"
Xu Qingfeng gave Wang Xiaojun two paths, one was to be a partner, the other was to be a worker.
But Wang Xiaojun chose the latter.
"Then it's ten yuan a day." Xu Qingfeng thought for a while and said.
It is equivalent to Wang Xiaojun working for him.
It’s not Xu Qingfeng’s search, but ten yuan, which was already a sky-high price in the 1980s.
Their parents worked in the forest farm and only earned 40 to 50 yuan a month.
Wang Xiaojun was shocked by the price Xu Qingfeng offered.
But he didn't know that Xu Qingfeng earned more.
"Ten yuan is too much...five yuan." When Wang Xiaojun heard that ten yuan was too much, he still thought it was too much, so he cut himself.
"You... I don't know what to say. Do you think you have too much money? I didn't hide the price of Feilong from you. It's ten yuan a day. In fact, you are at a loss." Xu Qingfeng said in a dumbfounded voice.
"Among us brothers, there's no saying that we can't afford to suffer. In fact, I don't have much potential. I just want to make some money, honor my parents, and get a wife." Wang Xiaojun scratched his head in embarrassment.
He is only two years younger than Xu Qingfeng and will be 21 after the Chinese New Year. He is already a big boy.
"Junzi, you go dig some more earthworms. After collecting the ground cages later, we will put out some bait again at night and come back to collect them tomorrow morning." Xu Qingfeng said to Wang Xiaojun.
Wang Xiaojun waved his hoe and went to dig up earthworms.
About half an hour later, Xu Qingfeng put away the fishing rod.
At this time, the bucket brought was already full, and together with the fish and shrimp in the ground cage, the total net weight was probably more than one hundred kilograms.
Xu Qingfeng lamented that in the 1980s, the ecological environment of Changbai Mountain was really not very good.
Whatever you do, you can get such a big harvest.
In future generations, it would be considered very good to have half of this.
After a while, after collecting the ground cage, Xu Qingfeng and Wang Xiaojun parted ways, one went home and the other went to the forest farm.
In fact, without Wang Xiaojun following him, Xu Qingfeng felt relaxed. He walked to a deserted place, put the cart together with the fish and shrimp into the space, then packed lightly and set off for the forest farm.
However, after making money, Xu Qingfeng still planned to buy a donkey cart for transportation.
Or get a 28-inch bicycle and ride it.
Taking the shuttle bus back and forth to the forest farm is a bit troublesome. The shuttle buses in this era are not punctual. They usually have to wait until the seats are full before they leave.
So I often have to wait for an hour.
Xu Qingfeng was too lazy to wait for the bus at the station. He usually walked to the forest farm on his legs. When he met a car on the way, he waved to the car to stop and then got on.
Xu Qingfeng did not get off the car at the forest farm today, but got off the car at the village near the forest farm, then took the cart out of the space, pushed it directly to the black market, and sold it directly.
It's time to get off work, and forest farm workers flock out. Many people go shopping in the black market to see if there is anything to buy. There is an endless stream of workers coming and going. The popularity of the black market is still very high today.
Xu Qingfeng opened soon.
Because there was no scale, Xu Qingfeng always estimated the weight.
Fish weighing three to five kilograms is sold for one piece, and large fish weighing more than seven kilograms is sold for three yuan.
Big fish are more expensive.
Take a spoon and fill up a spoonful of small fish and shrimps, which is about three kilograms, and sell them for one yuan.
Half a spoonful costs 50 cents.
The price is still very affordable, and the fish and shrimp are very fresh, so many people buy them.
Soon, almost all the 100 kilograms of fish and shrimp brought by Ji Yi were sold.
No one bought the remaining dead fish and shrimps, so Xu Qingfeng gave them directly to the forest farm managers who were in charge of the black market.
Xu Qingfeng plans to set up a stall here for a long time, so he still needs to have a good relationship with them.
It is said that the king of hell is easy to hide, but the devil is difficult to deal with. Sometimes, these managers can save a lot of things by building a good relationship.
"I will reserve this position for you tomorrow. When others come, I will tell you that it is occupied."
The fish and shrimps Xu Qingfeng sent out were quickly rewarded.
The management staff of the forest farm immediately circled the area where Xu Qingfeng set up his stall and would only use it for him in the future.
This surprised Xu Qingfeng, and he stuffed the management with two more packs of cigarettes.
For a moment, both parties were beaming. This is called a win-win situation.
