Go fishing for yellow croaker in a couple of days?
I absolutely must make time for that!
Chu Mingcheng hadn't expected He Zheng to invite him fishing at sea even after he had refused.
However, the more he caught, the more He Zheng earned, so the invitation made sense.
He then received the yellow croaker price quote from He Zheng: three taels or less was US$ 100 per catty, four or five taels were US$ 150 per catty, six or seven taels were US$ 260, and eight to nine taels were US$ 400.
One catty was one thousand, two catties were one thousand eight hundred, and three catties or more were two thousand five hundred.
If he caught any farmed fish that had escaped the net cage, they would be purchased at US$ 30 per catty.
Normally farmed yellow croaker sold for twenty to thirty per catty. He could pay thirty because those that had escaped had been free for a while and could fetch a higher price.
