Lu Ao actually cares about face.

Suddenly Song Zhou saw him like this, and he felt a little embarrassed.

He tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened, put the fish on the reef, opened his sore mouth, and said in a low voice, "Are you done with your work?"

"We're done, you can rest for a while." Song Zhou held back his smile and turned away, "You get dressed first, and we'll go home?"

Lu Ao returned to his human form in the water. When he went ashore, he took out his clothes and put them on, which made him feel more at ease.

He lowered his head and took out his cell phone, "Wait a minute, I don't want anyone to pick me up."

Lu Ao called Brother Bao directly.

When Brother Bao received the call, he was very embarrassed and said, "Hey, wait a minute. The net collection was late this afternoon, which delayed a bit of time. We will come to pick you up after the last net is collected."

"It's okay." Lu Ao said, "Someone I know passed by nearby, and I went with him. You don't have to pick me up."

"Okay, okay, I'm really sorry." Brother Bao said, "Next time you come to see me, I will definitely not forget it."

"It's okay. Thank you for today. I'll go home first."

After Lu Ao finished communicating with Brother Bao, Song Zhou took him home directly.

The hairy catfish he caught was still alive. He put the fish in a large wooden basin and piled a lot of ice cubes on top of it from the refrigerator. Song Zhou also helped freeze some ice cubes.

Ice cubes cover the fish to keep it as fresh as possible.

After doing all this, Lu Ao raised his head and said to Song Zhou: "My car is still at Erxi Pier."

He didn't know if he was still embarrassed, but he tried his best to keep his face calm when he spoke, but there was still a trace of redness in his ears.

Songzhou said considerately: "I'll go bring it back."

Lu Ao gave him the key.

Song Zhou went out, but within a moment, a whole tricycle appeared in front of the courtyard gate.

Song Zhou sat on the tricycle and smiled at him, "I've driven the car back, what else should I do?"

It's rare that this man is so gentle and elegant even when riding a farm tricycle, and he doesn't look embarrassed.

Lu Ao withdrew his gaze and said, "No need. I'll send it to Moments first to see if anyone wants to buy fish."

"What if not?"

"If not, just ask your friends to post it on WeChat Moments."

Lu Ao was not worried at all that the fish would not be sold.

Hairy catfish is a rare good thing, and the difference between selling it more expensively and cheaper is at best.

When the Jiugongge was posted in his circle of friends, Lin Gongshang was the first to react and give a thumbs up.

Lin Gongshang: Damn it, Brother Lu is still me, Brother Lu. If I say fishing for hairy catfish, I will fish for hairy catfish. That’s awesome!

Lin Qiyan: This is the first time I have seen such a big hairy catfish in my life!

Not only has Lin Qiyan never seen it, but in recent years, they have rarely seen hairy catfish here.

As soon as Lu Ao posted it on Moments, everyone took screenshots and forwarded it.

Soon, people from the groups Lu Ao joined also came out to ask.

People looked at it more and bought less, and there were basically no quotes.

Lu Ao was not in a hurry.

At almost 7 o'clock in the evening, a reporter contacted Lu Ao and asked him if he could do an interview.

Lu Ao declined.

The first person who actually came to ask about the price was the hotel owner Weng Qian.

He bought large yellow croaker from Lu Ao last time, and this time he called directly, "Lu Ao, how much does your hairy catfish weigh?"

"I just weighed it. It's one hundred and fourteen pounds and six taels."

"That's quite big. Is your fish wild?"

"Yes, I just caught it and it's still very fresh."

Weng Qian was very interested, "Isn't it convenient for me to make a video with Yu?"

"No problem." Lu Ao agreed, walking over in slippers, "The fish is here, it's still a little alive, it's not completely dead."

Lu Ao picked up the fish head and pointed it at the camera, "I'll show you the eyes and gills."

"What about the size?" Weng Qian asked, "Can you lift the fish up and let me see it? Let me compare it."

"Okay, wait a minute." Lu Ao called to Song Zhou who was outside the camera, "Song Zhou, come here and help."

When Weng Qian didn't see anyone, he heard a gentle voice say, "Here he comes."

Then he saw a slender hand taking the phone over.

The owner of that hand is obviously a man, and his hands are really slender and beautiful, with a jade-like complexion.

Weng Qian couldn't help but have more suspicions about this man's identity.

People with such a complexion are probably not fishermen. It is getting late now, but they are still at Lu Ao's house. The relationship between the two is obviously very close.

Two young men who are close to each other are still together so late at night. The information revealed is enough to make people daydream.

Weng Qian is usually used to analyzing customers. After subconscious analysis, he realized that this was not a customer, but a seller.

Then I thought about it, based on this person's earning ability, he is also their target customer now.

Weng Qian felt a little emotional in his heart.

Lu Ao didn't know that in just a few seconds, Weng Qian had figured out so much.

He handed the phone to Song Zhou and was struggling to lift the hairy catfish.

Lu Ao is a little over 1.8 meters tall, and the hairy catfish in his hand is not much shorter than his height.

He had to lift the fish hard to his chest so that it wouldn't drag to the ground.

Such a lifting action is much more laborious than carrying it. Even if Lu Ao is very strong, it will be uncomfortable to lift it.

After holding it for nearly ten seconds, Lu Ao put the fish back into the basin, pulled out the ice cubes, and asked, "Is it okay?"

"Okay, okay." Weng Qian immediately decided, "If it is really a wild hairy catfish weighing 114 pounds, I am willing to buy it for 1.2 million."

"One million and two hundred thousand is too low."

Weng Qian smiled, "The price is indeed not too high, but again, it is just a fish no matter what, and I don't think many people can pay a higher price."

Lu Ao didn't blink, "Double it, otherwise there's no need to talk."

"Two million and four hundred thousand is too high. Not to mention your Yandong County, even in the whole country, not many people are willing to spend more than two million to buy a fish."

Lu Ao was not persuaded by him, "Mr. Weng, don't worry about this issue for me. If someone really wants to buy it, I can ask a helicopter to come over. The whole process from here to Xiding City will only take more than an hour, so there will be no delay."

Weng Qian didn't think of hiring a helicopter for a moment. He smiled and said, "Then I'll think about it."

"OK."

Lu Ao hung up Weng Qian's call and asked Song Zhou to take a series of pictures of him holding the fish. Finally, he attached the length and weight of the fish and posted it on WeChat Moments again:

The wild hairy catfish that has just come out of the water is not dead yet and is extremely fresh. When eating the fish meat, you can use the fish bladder to make isinglass for family heirlooms. Friends who want it can send a private message. If the transaction is successful, I will charter a helicopter to deliver the fish within five hours.

door-to-door

After Lu Ao posted it, he rarely asked friends in the circle to help repost it.

A group of people came out in the middle of the night.

Almost instantly, there were more than fifty comments in Lu Ao’s circle of friends:

-It’s the first time I’ve seen someone hire a helicopter to sell fish. I’m really impressed by this.

-I just found out that you caught a hairy catfish, but I didn’t expect it to be so big.

-Is there any wealthy person who wants to buy it? This level of hairy catfish and isinglass can really be used as heirlooms.

-Lu Ao, you are so awesome. If you say you want to catch a hairy catfish, you can hit a hairy catfish. You nail it with every spit!

-Lu Ao, I’m chatting with you privately. If you see it, please reply to me.

The hairy squid is really good.

In addition to tonic for growing children, many people believe that if you use its isinglass to replenish your body after a serious illness, your body can recover as before.

Based on this basis, there are indeed people who collect isinglass for the purpose of investment and wait for the value of isinglass to increase in 20 or 30 years.

Lu Ao received many private messages on her mobile phone.

Everyone asked about the price.

Lu Ao replied one by one.

Seeing that he was busy, Song Zhou asked, "What should I eat for dinner?"

"Anything is fine, you can also cook some noodles, I don't choose." Lu Ao was typing loudly as he spoke, his eyes never leaving the keyboard interface.
