After Zhong Yuemin and the others finished my lunch, it was already three in the afternoon.
After lunch, Zhong Yuemin asked Zheng Tong to bring a few people to a nearby village to borrow a few cows or farm vehicles to pull the net.
It had been four hours since they had set up the net. When Zheng Tong and the others called for help, they would have about five hours before they could start to reel in the net.
At that time, they would pull up the fishing net and the transport truck from the aquatic products station would arrive.
Zhong Yuemin's schedule was very full. If there were no mistakes in the middle, the timing would be just right. When they pulled the fish up, the people from the aquatic products station would drive the car over, and they could immediately load the car back to collect the money.
When he arrived in Beijing, he could have a sumptuous dinner with Zhou Xiaobai.
After half an hour, Zheng Tong finally found the brigade leader in a nearby village. He borrowed five cows from them, but Zheng Tong also gave them five yuan as labor fees.
If Zheng Tong didn't give the other party five yuan as a service fee, the brigade leader wouldn't have lent the cow to Zheng Tong.
The strength of five oxen was enough to pull the weight of this net of fish.
"Yuemin, I got someone to pull the fishing net.”
Zheng Tong brought the five middle-aged men to the riverside and spoke to Zhong Yuemin.
"Fellow villagers, thank you for your help.”
Zhong Yuemin looked at the five honest farmers that Zheng Tong had brought. He took out the cigarettes he had on him and gave each of them a cigarette. He looked at them with gratitude.
"Little brother, you're too polite. You also gave us five yuan as a service fee.”
A middle-aged man with four pockets and a hat, who was covered in patches, took Zhong Yuemin's cigarette and answered him with a smile.
In this era, people who could wear clothes with four pockets were basically people with some status.
For example, the middle-aged man in front of Zhong Yuemin was the leader of their village's production team. He was also someone who held some power.
"That's what I should do. After all, this cow needs to eat grass. I can't help it for nothing.”
Zhong Yuemin lit a cigarette for the captain and said politely.
"Little brother, what unit are you from?”
The captain asked Zhong Yuemin which unit he was from with a smile.
During this period, people were not allowed to do business alone. Anyone who dared to do business would be charged with the crime of turning over a T machine. If they were caught, they would have to go to jail.
Therefore, the captain wanted to find out more about Zhong Yuemin and the others.
"Uncle, we are a unit under the aquatic products station. We are responsible for fishing for the aquatic products station and selling them in the market. Because there are too few fish in the market in winter, we can only dig ice to fish in the middle of winter.”
Zhong Yuemin didn't say that he was a student. Instead, he told the captain that they were from the aquatic products station.
"I really didn't expect you to enter such a good unit at such a young age. I'm really envious!”
When the captain heard Zhong Yuemin say that they were the people under the aquatic products station, he said in an envious tone.
"Sigh, there's nothing to be envious of. We also have a mission to complete! This winter, we have a very heavy task. I estimate that our fishing team will be here for a few days. When the time comes, please take care of us!”
Zhong Yuemin pretended to sigh as he answered the captain.
"Of course, of course. It's our brigade's honor to be able to entertain you.”
When the captain heard Zhong Yuemin say that they were going to stay in their village for a few days to continue fishing, he responded with a smile.
Five yuan a day was earned by the captain alone. If Zhong Yuemin and the others stayed here for three to five days, the income would be higher than his monthly salary.
"Pull the net."
At this moment, Zheng Tong stood on the icy mountain and shouted.
Immediately after, the five buffaloes pulled the fishing net out of the water under their master's urging.
The five buffaloes could pull a few thousand kilograms of weight, and the five buffaloes could pull at least a dozen tons of things.
Following that, the five water buffaloes slowly pulled on the ice surface, and the fishing net was slowly pulled up from the river.
Zheng Tong and the others were not idle either. Each of them was also pulling the rope on the fishing net, wanting to increase the speed to pull the fishing net onto the ice surface.
In less than three minutes, the shadow of the fishing net finally appeared on the ice.
There were no fish on the fishing net that had just been exposed. It was empty.
However, after a few minutes, fish began to hang on the fishing net. A carp weighing five to six pounds appeared in front of everyone.
As the fishing net was pulled out of the water, it was covered with fishing nets. There were all kinds of fish, such as silver carp, grass carp, carp, blackfish, and so on.
Zhong Yuemin watched as so many fish were caught from the river. His face was full of smiles.
These fish were all money!
How could he not smile?
When it was 4:30 pm, the purchasing vehicle from the seafood station finally arrived.
