Chapter 78: Shock from Fang Dajun [Please Subscribe]

"Old Fang!"

"This is fantastic news!"

"Ah Hao made over two thousand dollars today by sailing out to sea. It's truly thanks to the blessings of his ancestors and grandmother—"

In the evening.

Fang Dajun had just returned home.

Chen Fenglan couldn't wait to share some good news with him, and she spoke with great enthusiasm, as if she were very proud.

They were initially worried that their son wouldn't be able to endure the hardships of working in the sea, but they never expected the other party to bring them such a big surprise.

That's absolutely incredible!

Could it be that the Fang family's ancestral graves are really emitting auspicious smoke?

Someone who had hardly ever gone out to sea to fish was able to catch over a thousand pounds of mackerel.

When Chen Fenglan first heard this news from Song Yaxin and Fang Hao, she was somewhat skeptical, as it seemed rather unreal.

"Really?!"

"Where was it caught—?"

Fang Dajun was also somewhat shocked.

He asked Fang Hao with a puzzled look on his face.

You know, he's been catching fish for so many years and he's rarely lucky enough to encounter a school of mackerel.

Why is my son so lucky?

"Um—we encountered a school of mackerel hunting in the waters near the power plant."

"My friend and I cast our nets twice, catching over 1,100 jin (500 kg), which we sold to Wang Mazi for 2.5 yuan per jin —"

Seeing Fang Dajun's gaze fall on him, Fang Hao had no choice but to repeat himself.

Because he's the person involved.

We were really lucky this time!

Next time, the harvest won't be as good.

After all, fishing boats rely on luck and the weather when they go out to sea to catch fish, and it's impossible to guarantee that they can catch so many fish every time.

"Two yuan and fifty cents a pound?"

"This price isn't exactly cheap."

"You guys are so lucky—to encounter mackerel on your very first voyage. I've been fishing for decades, and the luckiest I've ever been was catching a net full of silver pomfret."

Fang Dajun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

As the saying goes, a student can beat his master to death by practicing boxing.

Unexpectedly, his son, a novice who had barely ever been to sea, caught a school of mackerel.

One has to envy his luck.

I was genuinely happy for my son.

After being a scoundrel for so many years, he has finally matured and is now able to start making money on his own.

For most parents.

The greatest joy is seeing one's children grow up, start their own families, and establish their own careers.

"Dad!"

"Who can predict luck? Maybe you'll encounter schools of yellow croaker or tuna in the future—"

Fang Hao couldn't help but smile and say.

Ultimately, it comes down to a combination of skill and luck.

His exceptional perception is somewhat advantageous when fishing at sea.

This advantage can also be used for diving in the future.

You should know that seafood from the seabed is the most valuable!

Having exceptional eyesight and hearing can have unexpected benefits when diving.

For example, catching sea urchins, crabs, and lobsters!

These more expensive seafood items need to be caught by diving into the sea; they can't be caught by fishing boats using trawling nets.

"You little brat."

"How can you talk nonsense if you haven't been drinking?"

"It's been so many years since I've seen a school of large yellow croakers. These things are incredibly valuable now, selling for forty or fifty kilograms a kilogram at the market. If you could catch a whole net of them, you'd really be rich!"

Fang Dajun shook his head.

These days, large yellow croakers are almost completely depleted from overfishing.

You should know that in the early years, there were plenty of large yellow croakers, and everyone caught them by the net, so the price wasn't very high.

Nowadays, scarcity drives up prices!

The method of catching fish by striking them with a net was used to completely eradicate them.

This caused the large yellow croaker to suffer a complete disaster.

Nowadays, the price has continued to rise, with the retail price reaching 40 or 50 yuan per kilogram.

This price isn't cheap!

It's not something ordinary people can afford.

Many fishermen, seeing the soaring price of large yellow croaker, can't help but fantasize about when they'll be lucky enough to catch a big catch.

That would make you rich instantly!

"uh-huh!"

"Who knows? What if we're lucky and catch a whole net full of big yellow croakers—"

"Ah Hao encountered a school of mackerel on his first day at sea today, that's a good omen!"

Chen Fenglan resolutely stood by her son's side.

He couldn't help but speak up in agreement and defend Fang Hao.

Although I knew in my heart that the probability of catching a large yellow croaker was not high, I thought it wasn't illegal, and who doesn't want to catch something good when they go out to sea?

Who knows, maybe my son will have that luck!

Watching my parents bicker.

""

Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head.

I estimate there are still more than twenty days left. I'll see if I can catch a school of large yellow croakers by then.

Squatting at that time and place.

A net has been cast, a trap that cannot be escaped!

If you don't believe it, you won't get anything.

In short, whether or not we can make another big return depends on it.

"Dad!"

"When will you be able to come back and help?"

Fang Hao changed the subject and asked.

I now own a fishing boat.

We urgently need Fang Dajun to join us and take charge!

"It may take some more time."

"The boss is already looking for someone—at least someone needs to cover for me first, otherwise it will affect the fishing boats' operations at sea!"

Fang Dajun pondered for a moment before speaking.

It's not like I can just quit immediately.

The fishing boat owner treated him quite well!

I want to quit now.

At the very least, the handover should be done properly.

He's not the kind of heartless, irresponsible person who would do something like arguing with his boss.

"oh oh."

"I'll work with the Northerners for now."

Fang Hao nodded slightly.

Right now, the two of them can get the boat running.

However, he has little experience fishing at sea and needs an experienced veteran to help him.

Dad Fang Dajun would be a perfect fit.

"Um."

Fang Dajun nodded.

I was also struggling with this matter.

After all, he didn't know how long it would take the fishing boat owner to find suitable manpower.

My son needs help again!

"Old Fang!"

"Tell your boss to hurry up and find someone. At least agree on a rough timeframe with him. If he still can't find someone by then, he'll have to come back. He can't keep working for another year if he can't find someone."

"Now, our son earns in one trip at sea what you earn in two years. Why not come back and work together? Father and son, united in purpose—"

Chen Fenglan couldn't help but interject.

She doesn't object to her husband being honest.

But right now, my own family is short-handed, and I can't just think about my boss and ignore my own family's situation.

After all, from a human nature perspective.

I'd definitely prioritize my own interests.

"understood."

"I'll talk to the boss again tomorrow."

Fang Dajun frowned.

In the end, he nodded.

After all, the son is the most important person in the world!

Now that Fang Hao has spent over 20,000 yuan to buy a fishing boat to go out to sea, he does need some help.

Moreover, Fang Hao made so much money at sea today, which gave Fang Dajun a lot of confidence.

After all, working for someone else can't compare to working for yourself!

Before, since my family didn't have a fishing boat, there was nothing I could do but work for fishing boat owners to earn some income, which was actually very hard work.
