"Such a big fish is rare. Usually, the price for sea fish in town is twenty-five wen per catty. This big fish could probably sell for more than thirty wen per catty. It should fetch more than a silver tael. It would be best to sell it." Said Ye Zi'an, explaining the market condition in village. He agreed with Yang Chuxia that selling the fish was the right choice, as a tael of silver could support a family's living expenses for two or three months.
"Okay, we'll save it for selling in the market later."
Having said that, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi'an moved the fish to a higher spot using their combined strength, dug a hole, filled it with some seawater, and put the fish in it.
Thanks to the big fish they found, the group were in high spirits and their scavenging speed was faster than usual. Though, perhaps because of the big fish, there seemed to be fewer items on the shore. Everyone's bucket was only half filled.
