Chapter 196： It's all alcohol's fault

Chapter 196 Alcohol is all to blame

"Yes, but it still needs to be upgraded. Things like this in nature need to evolve automatically in space."

Qiao Mai pouted, "Understood!"

She was guarding the fire, eating grilled fish, drinking white wine, and unknowingly finished a bottle, looked at the sky, and looked around.

"Xiaoqing, you continue, I'll sleep for a while, call me if something happens?"

"oh!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she began to snore. Xiaoqing found a blanket for her to cover her body from space.

At some point, Qiao Mai opened his eyes and moved his uncomfortable body.

Lifting his eyes to look around, he was stunned.

What is this situation? Why are there several people watching around me?

Looking at her like a monkey? What do you mean?

"Little brother, are you awake?"

"Why am I here? Who are you?"

"We are fishermen going out to sea to fish. This is the deep sea area. We passed by here and found you. You are so lucky, otherwise we don't know when we will meet the boat."

"Uh, so you are here for me?"

"Otherwise? We can't leave you alone here, can we?"

Well, Qiao Mai was speechless. These people regarded her as a person in distress, so she deliberately contacted Xiaoqing.

"Why don't you call me?"

"I shouted, you slept too deeply, you don't even want to kill me"

Well, it's all caused by alcohol. It seems that we should drink less in the future.

She stood up, rolled up the blanket, and saluted them.

"Thank you all so much."

"We will go to sea for two more days, will you come with us?"

"Okay, I don't know how to fish, I can watch you from the sidelines, and it's okay to do a little favor."

"Haha, let's go, let's get on the boat."

The fishermen boarded the boat, and Qiao Mai followed them and also came to the boat.

This ship is not too big, about fifteen meters long and five or six meters wide. It was considered a giant ship in the ancient ship fishing industry.

In order to make more money, they risked their lives to come to the deep sea area, and by chance they met Qiao Mai.

Looking at these men, shirtless, they cast a large net full of hope into the sea, and then slowly rowed the boat to lift the fishing net in the sea.

The fishermen who often go to sea are very experienced. They will judge whether there is fish in the net or not according to the speed of the boat.

You must have worked hard to row the boat, and you will know that there are goods on the net.

The boat stopped at this time, and the fishermen began to collect their nets. Qiao Mai sat on the stern and watched. It was very interesting for them to catch one net after another.

Sometimes when she goes up to pull out the net, she will also step forward to help.

The fishermen were very surprised. Although she looked thin and small, she was very energetic. Her joining obviously made them feel relaxed.

"Captain, how many fish can you catch when you go out to sea?"

"Maybe, there are good and bad, sometimes a few thousand catties, sometimes a thousand catties is not bad."

"Is it easy to sell so many fish and shrimp?"

"It's okay. The merchants took away all the seafood we brought in. The price is very low. If we can't sell them, let's dry them. We can't just throw them away."

"How much money can the fish and shrimp in this boat be sold for?"

"Not much, let's have a few hundred taels, share among everyone,"

"Is this ship yours?"

"Yes, we all pooled our money to buy it."

"good."

While talking, a fisherman shouted, "Boss, hurry up, it seems that a big guy has been caught."

At this time, the captain and Qiao Mai ran over together, everyone was struggling to hold the fishing net, and gradually the big guy came out of the water.

"Look, it's a big fish, my God, such a big fish, can't it be a shark?"

"No, it should be a fish in the deep sea."

They don't know each other, but Qiao Mai does. This is the top-quality tuna, which weighs hundreds of catties by visual inspection.

A dozen crew members all ran over to pull the net.

Everyone worked together to drag this big guy onto the fishing boat. This fish was more than twice the size of an adult, weighing five hundred catties.

There are too few buyers for such a big fish, and no one dares to eat it after seeing it. The crew members are still worried when they look at it.

"The weather here is so hot, the fish will go bad after two days, what should I do?"

"Should I put it back?"

Watching them start to release the fish back into the sea, Qiao Mai saw that the tuna would die if put back, so he said.

"I bought this fish."

"Huh? Can you eat it all by yourself?"

"Don't worry, when we reach the shore, I'll hire a carriage to take them away. It's not for me to eat alone, but for my whole family."

"Then how much money do you plan to pay?"

"Is one hundred taels okay?"

Everyone was stunned, Qiao Mai thought they thought the price was low, so he continued.

"Two hundred taels, do you think it will work?"

The captain patted her on the shoulder, "Take one hundred taels of silver away, but two hundred taels is too much, and we dare not accept it even if it is given to us."

"It's only two hundred taels. In the future, if you catch such a fish, you must not sell it cheaply. This fish is called tuna. Its meat is firm, tender and delicious. It can be fried or eaten raw. It is extremely delicious."

"Really, really?"

"Yes, you are lucky to catch such a fish."

Hearing this, the fishermen showed smiles on their faces, "Since this little brother likes it, I'll sell it to you for two hundred taels."

"In addition, I also want some of the sea prawns you hunt, but I only want the best quality. You can help me pick 200 catties of prawns that are as big as a palm, and I will pay you a tael per catty."

"Little brother, you have the money to burn it, and we only sold it to the merchant for fifty cents a catty."

"You guys are mixing and matching. I only want the top quality. I also want the hairtail fish. I also want some of the yellow croaker and swallow fish. I only want the top quality. The price is one tael per catty. Do you think it's okay?" ?”

Everyone didn't get off the net anymore, watching her swallow her saliva, as if she was a big fish.

The captain is more knowledgeable, he looked up and down Qiao Mai, she hurriedly took out an ingot of gold from her purse and stuffed it into the captain's hand.

"This is the deposit. When you go back, you wait for me on the shore. I will go find the carriage. Then I will give you the rest."

The captain looked at Jin Yuanbao and smiled, "I almost thought you were teasing us."

"How is it possible, so that catching you saved my life."

"Okay, we won't continue today, let's return to the voyage, afraid that the time will be too long, and the fish will not be fresh."

"good!"

The captain immediately waved to the crew. They stood aside, pressed their oars, and drove back with full horsepower.

It felt like a long time when I came here, but I went back very quickly. In less than a day, the ship docked.

To be honest, Qiao Mai didn't even know what this place was.

The ship found a place to stop, and the captain asked everyone to choose the best for Qiao Mai on board.

The small port is not big, but it is very prosperous. She found a place where no one was around, and moved out the winter dates and the carriage.

"Old man, help me pull a few trips, haha, you can eat golden pine fish when you go back."

Qiao Mai drooled when he thought about it, and drove the carriage to the shore, first pulled the tuna away, found a place where no one was around, put it in the space, and then went back to pull shrimp, hairtail, yellow croaker, swallow fish such as.

In fact, she can buy all of these from the platform, but who told her to want to repay these simple and honest fishermen?

Besides, how meaningful it is to see the fish caught from the sea.

Pulled a total of five times, and gave the captain a thousand taels of silver. The fishermen on this boat were so happy that they kept giggling at her.

She sat in the carriage and waved to them.

"I have to take the fish home quickly, otherwise it won't be fresh. You are all good people, and good people are rewarded with good rewards. I will come to buy fish from you next time I have a chance."

"Little brother, you are also a good person, we have been honored by you."

"polite!"
