A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

Chapter 33: Back to the fishing port to sell fish

   (The data in the previous two chapters have been revised, and the 120,000 fish caught earlier have been revised to more than 50,000. The 120,000 fish are too many, mainly because the carrying capacity of the fishing boat is only a few hundred tons.)

   Minano Shuichi wanted to laugh after seeing the Matsumoto fishing team running away without a word! This time they should not dare to underestimate themselves.

   After more than two hours of busy work, Shuichi Minano and everyone finally salvaged the fish. This group of 20,000 salmon fishes eventually caught only 15,000 fish, and the remaining more than 5,000 fish should have escaped. After all, it is impossible to surround all the fish in one net, and there will always be fish that slip through the net!

   This wave caught 15,000 salmon, plus the more than 50,000 salmon caught before (the data has been revised, subject to the current), a total of about 65,000.

   "Boss, the freezer is full!" Ueno Tanimura reported to Shuichi Minano after placing the last batch of fish in the freezer.

   "Understood, then we can go back to Nemuro Fishing Port and tell old man Kimura that we are leaving now!" Nanye Xiu said.

   "Good boss!"

   "I'm starting to miss the vegetables and fruits at home. We've all eaten fish for a week. I'm really nauseous." Miyamoto Yuko complained while standing beside Minami Shuuichi.

   "Haha, I told you to wait for me at home, but you don't do it. You know it's hard to go fishing, so why don't you come out with me in the future?" Nanye Xiuyi squeezed Miyamoto Yuko's face and smiled.

   "Hehe, if Miyamoto Yuko is gone, who will help you do the laundry, and who will cook you supper in the evening." I don't know when Ami Inoue appeared in front of Shuichi Minano. Now on the return trip, everyone can relax.

   "That's right, you say that I'm still a lazy person?" Minami Shuichi touched his chin. But it seems to be true. Since Miyamoto Yuko came to her home, she has really stretched out her hand and mouth to open her mouth. These days are really comfortable.

   "Isn't it?" Ami Inoue rolled her eyes. She is the only one among the many employees who is not afraid of herself. Let Minano Shuichi a little depressed.

   "So I can't live without Miyamoto Yuko." Minano Shuichi smiled happily and put his arms around Miyamoto Yuko's shoulder. The latter blushed instantly.

   "You can marry Sister Tamiko!" Inoue Ami smiled charmingly. When she said this sentence, she suddenly felt a little inexplicable in her heart. However, she still hoped that Miyamoto Yuko would find a good home. Unlike her, her husband left her on her wedding night and never came back.

   "She's still young, we'll talk about it in a few years." Minano Shuichi neither refused nor agreed.

  Miyamoto Yuko suddenly became shy after hearing this. She still likes the big brother Minano Shuichi very much.

   "What about you, when did you find someone to marry. It's not good for you to live alone." Minami Hideyoshi asked Ami Inoue.

   "I...I haven't considered this for now." Ami Inoue said.

   "Is there anyone you like?" Minano Shuichi asked curiously.

"No."

   The days of the return journey were so calm and with a hint of excitement. Minano Shuichi was either sleeping or chatting with Inoue Ami, but he lived a comfortable life.

   A few days later, the fishing boat Junsu finally returned to the Nemuro fishing port. Listening to the whistle of other fishing boats near the fishing port and watching the busy fishing port not far away, Minami Shuuichi was in a good mood!

  When the Junsu was docked at the Nemuro fishing port, it attracted the attention of many people.

   "The fishing boat Junshi is back. I don't know what fish Minano-kun will catch this time? It would be good if it continued to be tuna."

   "The last time he caught ten bluefin tuna, it really caused a sensation in the whole Nemuro fishing port!"

   "What? Nanye Xiuyi is back, let's walk around, let's go up and see what fish he caught this time!" The seafood buyers hurried over when they heard that Nanye Xiuyi was back. At this time, they had a trace of expectation for Minami Shuuichi, expecting that Minamino Shuuichi could bring back more precious fish. It would be nice if it continued to be bluefin tuna.

   "Hi, Minano-kun is back so soon?" The first person to come to the fishing boat was Fujiwara Taro, a seafood buyer from Fujiwara. He was a little surprised to see Hideyoshi Minano coming back after more than a week. Come back so soon, can you return with a full load?

"Okay."

   "Minano-kun, what kind of fish did you catch this time?" Taro Fujiwara asked expectantly.

   "Salmon! I estimate about 390 tons." Minami Hideyoshi said.

   "Oh, so it's really gratifying to say that you returned with a full warehouse this time." Fujiwara Taro immediately put on a smile and congratulated Minano Shuichi.

   "I wonder if you can sell me all these salmon?" Taro Fujiwara asked. Although salmon is not a very valuable fish in this era, it is also an economical fish. So the market is still very good.

   "Then it depends on how much price you can give." Minamino Shuichi smiled fascinatedly. Selling to anyone is the same as long as the price is right. Salmon is not a very scarce fish right now.

   Soon, several more buyers came up, and they all congratulated each other after I heard that they had returned with a full load. They were a little disappointed to see no tuna caught. After all, tuna is still the most popular type of fish. It is now, and it will be hereafter.

   "Minano-kun, how about I buy your salmon for 0.1 yen per kilogram?" Taro Fujiwara asked. The price is heaven and earth compared to bluefin tuna. But this price is really not low in this era. A salmon weighs about 5 to 6 kilograms. If calculated according to the weight of 6 kg, the price of a salmon is about 0.6 yen. Of course, this is the initial transaction price, and it will be sold through wholesale markets and dealers. It is estimated that the price of those consumers will need to buy about one yen by that time. In this day and age, a monthly salary of 70 yen is not cheap for a salmon.

   "Okay, I'll accept the price, then I'll sell it to you." Minano Shuichi agreed after a little sizing.

   Pick up the cabin, weigh, record, and make a deal!

   The transaction was completed directly until the evening.

   In the end, Shuichi Minami got a total of about 32,000 yen!

   "I really hope to catch bluefin tuna next time!" Hide Minano laughed a little when he saw the 32,000 yen in his hand. In fact, bluefin tuna in this era is still relatively difficult to catch. After all, ocean fishing is just getting started. Most fishing teams can't get too far to catch this tuna. So at present, like the best of tuna, bluefin tuna is still very expensive.

   Of course, fish like this are only affordable for the dignitaries. This fish is generally exported.
