Chapter 91: My Cousin Comes to Visit Again [Please Subscribe]

"Hiro!"

"What are you guys doing?"

A figure walked in.

It was my cousin, Fang Yong!

When the other party saw Fang Hao, Fang Qiang and others busy in the yard, making a constant clanging and banging noise, they really couldn't figure out what they were doing.

"Cousin!"

"Get something to catch octopuses."

Fang Hao greeted him with a smile and replied.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yong took the initiative to visit again.

Could it be that there's something they want to talk to me about?

The last time he came to me, I wanted him to invest, but later it turned into taking over his family's old fishing boat.

I've been busy fishing at sea these past few days.

I didn't have time to visit my uncle's house during that time.

Actually, Fang Hao's relationship with his uncle's family was not bad. At least his uncle Fang Dabiao and cousin Fang Yong took good care of him.

"oh oh!"

"You're quite something! You're really quick-witted, even thinking of using a tin can to catch an octopus. That should be much more effective than a bamboo tube or a snail shell—"

Fang Yong suddenly realized.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and say it.

Having been a fisherman for many years, I can still see some tricks of the trade. I never expected that my cousin would know how to use aluminum cans and tin cans to catch octopuses.

This did indeed surprise him!

Is this still my lazy, troublemaking cousin?

A scholar who has been away for three days has truly impressed everyone!

I've been hearing news about him a lot these past two days. On his first voyage, he caught over a thousand catties of mackerel, and later he also ordered the arrest of Fang De'an and his son, whose boat had capsized.

Various deeds!

All of this proves that he has indeed changed.

Regarding these changes in Fang Hao.

As his cousin, he was still very happy.

After all, Uncle Fang Dajun only has one son. If he continues to be such a scoundrel, there will be no hope for the future.

"Just playing house."

"Cousin, is there something you need?"

Fang Hao waved his hand.

Then let's get back to the main topic.

As the saying goes, one doesn't visit a temple without a reason.

Fang Yong actually came to the door.

Something must have happened.

"oh oh."

"I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd come in and check if there were any problems with the fishing boats?"

Fang Yong shook his head and said.

He just happened to be passing by and went in for a look.

After all, Fang Hao bought his fishing boat from his family, so they could help solve any problems that might arise.

We're all one family!

That wouldn't be a way to cheat the other party.

"The ship is in excellent condition."

Fang Hao said with a smile.

You should know that Uncle Fang Dabiao takes excellent care of the fishing boat, so it should last for at least another ten or eight years without any major problems.

"That's good!"

"I heard you caught over a thousand pounds of mackerel on your first voyage and made quite a bit of money. Looks like you're really lucky—"

Fang Yong casually brought up this matter.

He and his father had been fishing at sea for so many years, and the chances of encountering a school of fish were not high.

My cousin was surprisingly lucky.

On my first voyage, I encountered a school of mackerel.

A thousand kilograms of mackerel can sell for two or three thousand yuan, which is equivalent to one or two years' income for an average family.

"Hahaha!"

"It's just Grandma's blessing."

Fang Hao smiled and said casually.

I was really lucky to encounter this school of mackerel; it might be a newbie's blessing or a perk.

Therefore, I made a small profit!

Those newly purchased crab traps and nets were all thanks to this windfall.

Speaking of which...

My original intention that day was to go out for a walk, but I didn't expect to be so lucky and directly encounter a school of mackerel hunting for food.

Two nets can weigh over a thousand kilograms!

They've made a fortune!

"Keep it up!"

"Making a living is not a problem."

Fang Yong nodded.

Although fishing at sea is risky and arduous, the rewards and profits are quite good.

Their family supported themselves on this fishing boat, then built a bungalow and saved up money to buy a bigger fishing boat.

They are much better off than most people in the village.

For example, Fang Hao's family relies on Fang Dajun working on fishing boats to earn a few hundred yuan, and Chen Fenglan earning extra money by farming and going to the beach to supplement their income. Their lives are not very good.

They are only considered average in the village.

If it weren't for the subsidies from her four daughters and sons-in-law, life would probably be even more difficult.

"Cousin."

"When did you get your new fishing boat?"

Fang Hao casually asked another question.

My uncle's family wants to build a large fishing boat.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to sell this old fishing boat.

"It may take some more time."

Fang Yong said in a slightly deep voice.

A fishing boat is not that easy to manage.

What's more, they haven't even raised all the money yet.

A sum of money, around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.

It's not something an ordinary family could afford to take out.

"oh oh."

Fang Hao nodded.

They didn't say anything more.

In his previous life, my cousin didn't buy a fishing boat. After losing his leg and wallowing in despair for several years, he started aquaculture and made a lot of money raising shrimp and crabs.

From the 1990s to the early 2000s.

There was a surge in livestock farming in the village.

It's safe to say that almost every household has a shrimp pond and is raising prawns directly.

Fang Hao's family followed suit.

Unfortunately, a massive typhoon struck that year.

We lost a lot of money!

Since then.

For several consecutive years, shrimp diseases have led to pond collapses.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people kept them.

After all, a year of hard work might not earn as much as six months of work in eastern Guangdong, so many people dare not continue to invest money and gamble.

Aquaculture is inherently high-risk!

There's a local saying, something like that.

They have a vast fortune, excluding livestock and poultry.

Be aware that the aquaculture industry can bankrupt you and leave you heavily in debt overnight.

"Alright!"

"It's nothing."

"I won't disturb your work—"

Fang Yong took his leave.

He just happened to be passing by and asked.

Fang Hao and the others are busy and don't have time, so they don't plan to continue to delay their work.

And he's not free either!

There's still a lot to do with the new fishing boat.

"OK!"

Fang Hao nodded.

They didn't try to persuade him to stay.

After saying that, he watched Fang Yong leave.

"Brother Hao."

"Is Brother Yong's family really planning to build a big ship?"

Fang Qiang asked with some curiosity.

Most of the boats in the village are small fishing boats.

There aren't many people who have the capability to build large fishing boats!

A large fishing boat means being able to venture further out to sea, which in turn means a greater harvest and income.

This is much better than the small-scale operations of a small fishing boat.

"Um."

"It seems to cost around 100,000 to 200,000."

Fang Hao nodded.

This is no small sum of money these days.

It's important to know that in the early 1990s, a household with 10,000 yuan in assets was still considered quite prestigious, and many rural families had not yet reached that standard.

"That's pretty impressive."

Fang Qiang nodded enviously.

Who wouldn't want a big ship if they lived by the sea?

of course!

This large ship is not a deep-sea fishing vessel.

It's just bigger than a small fishing boat.

"Haha, if we make some money in the future, we'll get a big fishing boat too—"

Fang Hao said with a smile.

A fisherman who doesn't want to buy a big boat isn't a good fisherman. Taking over my uncle's old fishing boat right now is just a transitional period.

"."

Fang Qiang felt somewhat helpless.

My childhood friend seems to be a bit too much of a braggart.

Large fishing boats worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Where did all that money come from?
