Chapter 190 Diving
There was nothing to say all night, Liu Hao still searched for treasures under the sea like last night.But I was busy until four o'clock in the morning, and except for some relatively large seafood, I found no treasure at all.

This made him sigh even after returning to the fishing boat.

Time slipped away while he sighed and wandered around, and soon it was six o'clock in the morning, and everyone on the boat got up one after another.

While eating breakfast, Liu Hao gave instructions to Li Zhenjiang and the others.

"Brother Jiang, we will not continue trawling the nets today. We will set out the shrimp nets and ground cages today, catch some sea prawns and conch, and fill up the fish tank. We will head back home."

Li Zhenjiang was very puzzled when he heard Liu Hao's words.The trawl is well done and there are plenty of fish, so why not trawl?

Is it really a good idea for trawlers to lower fishing nets and ground cages instead of trawling?

"Boss, are we not going to continue fishing for silver pomfret? Is it really good to put ground cages? We are here from a trawler."

"Who said that trawlers must use trawling nets to catch fish?" Luo Hao asked back.

"This…"

"That's it. I'll find a sea area with a little more shrimps and conchs. It's best to find a habitat for snails. Snails are valuable." Liu Hao said softly while eating.

"It's great to be able to find fish schools. Boss, you can still find conch shells under the sea? How amazing?" Luo Hao looked at Liu Hao in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise.

The others were also very surprised when they heard Liu Hao's words.When looking for fish schools, some experienced fishermen will also use their experience to judge the general location, direction of movement, preferred temperature, microbial density, depth, etc. of fish schools.Combined with the current high-tech fish finder, the school of fish can be found, but it is not as good as Liu Hao.

But to find conch shells living on the bottom of the sea, this... seems to have no precedent. At most, it is based on experience, knowing what kind of sea area the target conch is likely to hide in. It is extremely difficult to find the exact place.

"Anyway, I have a way, just follow my orders. Okay, you eat, I'll replace Liu Jun." After speaking, Liu Hao put down the bowl and chopsticks and walked directly to the cab.

"The boss is so confident, it seems that he has a plan. Let's eat quickly and get ready to work." After Liu Hao left, Li Zhenjiang told the other crew members.

Seven or eight points of porridge, Liu Jun returned to the cab after breakfast, took the rudder, and asked casually: "Just now I heard from Song Jianjun and the others that you plan to catch sea shrimp and conch today?"

"Well, there are already a lot of silver pomfrets in the cabin. For the rest, I want to catch some sea prawns and see if I can find some top-quality ones."

"I didn't find it near the sea before. They were all some fish. Now it's far away from the coast. Try to see if there is any. I haven't tried the taste of the best sea prawns yet."

Liu Jun knew that the top-quality fish he was talking about was the big fish they had been catching before, with first-class taste.

He knew that the silver pomfrets in the fish cabin were the best products.Now they will pick a few of the biggest ones to eat every day, which are very fresh and tender.

"It turns out that I was trying something new for myself. You really deserve to be a big foodie." Liu Jun shook his head helplessly when he heard that Liu Hao stopped trawling for food again.

"It must be for eating, otherwise it would be so hard to hang." Liu Hao looked at the sea in front of him and said with a smile.

"Convince you. Big foodie, where are we going now?"

After Liu Hao heard the words, he thought for a while before saying, "Go back. When we came, I checked the instrument on the way and saw that there is a sea area under the seabed with many reefs."

"In this sea area, no one would trawl here. Otherwise, it would be a big loss if it gets stuck or broken by the reef. A trawling net costs at least tens of thousands of dollars."

"So I feel that there should be a lot of conchs under the seabed in that sea area. And not far away is an open field of sand and sand. It's just right to put some shrimp nets. It's definitely a good place."

Liu Jun nodded and said, "Okay, you have the final say on finding fish. Then I will turn back."

After speaking, he began to steer the fishing boat and head towards Baishi Village.

On the deck, Li Zhenjiang saw the fishing boat started to go back, and knew that the captain must be heading for the next job according to the boss's order.

Thinking of what Liu Hao said at breakfast just now, Li Zhenjiang understood that he was going to the habitat of sea shrimp and conch.

"Master, the fishing boat seems to be heading back. Is it going to return?" Luo Hao came to Li Zhenjiang with a few quick steps and asked quickly.

"What are you thinking? Didn't the boss just say that he wanted to catch some sea prawns? This is to find sea prawns."

"Oh, I forgot. When I saw the fishing boat going back, the first thing I thought of was going home." Luo Hao stroked his short hair, which was less than one centimeter long, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

At this time, Song Jianjun and Guo Jia also came over.

"You kid, if your home isn't here, you've returned. You're not alone in the dormitory doing nothing."

Guo Jia nodded in agreement when she heard Song Jianjun's words.

"It's more comfortable on land than at sea." Luo Hao shrugged and smiled.

"You are a laborer on a fishing boat, so you must stay at sea, otherwise where will you get the money?" Song Jianjun said again.

"I'll go, I forgot about it." Luo Hao thought for a while, then nodded helplessly.

Li Zhenjiang laughed a few times, and teased: "You guys, you still haven't entered the role, and you want to go back all day. I have been used to it for decades. Sometimes I don't go to sea, and my heart is still itchy. But then again , It’s really easy to work on Haoge’s fishing boat.”

As he said that, he said a little rejoicingly: "Fortunately, our boss is Liu Hao. If it were anyone else, we would be too tired to move now. Why would we have the energy to chat here?"

"It's like now, even if you want to go to other places, you still have to trawl. It's a normal operation to drag wherever you go."

"It's true when you think about it. The fishing boat we went to practice on was like that. The trawler didn't even take a break." Song Jianjun agreed from the side.

Li Zhenjiang looked at the young men and smiled and did not speak again.

The three of you will get used to it after going out to sea a few more times.Now I have only been out to sea for a day or two and I want to go back. How can I go fishing like this?

Liu Hao is such a good boss, if you still dislike him, then you don't have to go fishing.

As an old crew member, I have only been working with Liu Hao for two days and I have already fallen in love with this kind of fishing life.

Every time I fish with the nets, I get a harvest, I have a humane rest, I eat thousands of top-quality fish for three meals a day, and my salary is twice that of other fishing boats.

Besides Brother Hao, is there any other fishing boat in the world that can be treated like this?
If you are still not satisfied with this, then I can only say that fishing is not suitable for you.

According to Liu Hao's instructions, Li Zhenjiang chatted with Song Jianjun and the others while putting some bait into the ground cage.

These ground cages are circular ground cages with a diameter of 50 cm.Li Zhenjiang didn't know what the baits were put in. He only knew that these were the special baits that Liu Hao had told them about, and they were very attractive to seafood.

They all knew that this was Liu Hao's secret weapon, so they didn't ask any questions without knowing it.

Putting the bait into more than 200 ground cages is not a difficult job for them, and they have all done it in more than two hours.

After they finished everything, more than an hour passed, that is, shortly after 11:30, Liu Hao's voice came from Li Zhenjiang's walkie-talkie.

"Brother Jiang, are you guys ready? If you're ready, put the ground cage into the sea for me right now."

Li Zhenjiang said hello, then greeted Song Jianjun and the others, dragged the ground cage to the stern of the boat, and pushed hard into the sea.

The ground cages are strung together one by one with large cables. Under the pulling of the fishing boat, the ground cages on the boat are quickly pulled down into the sea.

More than 200 ground cages were all dropped into the sea in less than 10 minutes.

At this time, the fishing boat turned to the left and continued slowly.

"I heard that bait is not placed in the sea. Brother Hao is doing the opposite?" Luo Hao asked curiously while looking at Li Zhenjiang after all the ground cages were in the sea.

Li Zhenjiang nodded, and said softly: "Well, the bait is basically not put in the ground cage when going out to sea. The boss may put the bait to catch more fish. After all, he said that this bait is specially made and it is very effective. .”

Song Jianjun answered: "I, Liu Jun, said that when they went out to sea to fish before, they put bait in the ground cages and fishing nets."

"Fishing nets too?" Li Zhenjiang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "No wonder they harvested so much fish every time they went out to sea. It seems that it is all thanks to this special bait."

"So...Brother Hao paid such a high salary for us to keep it a secret, because his bait is very good at fishing." Luo Hao said in surprise, his eyes widened.

"That's for sure, there is such a powerful thing, should others know?" Song Jianjun gave him a blank look.

"I want to know how the fishing nets are baited?" Guo Jia suddenly asked curiously this time.

"Ok?"

When everyone heard it, it seemed to be so.How to put bait in the fishing net?

I've never heard of fishing nets with bait.

The few of them thought of this, and suddenly looked at the shrimp nets placed aside.

There is no bait.

Logically speaking, if you really need to put the bait, Brother Hao should ask them to do so now.Otherwise, it will be off the Internet in a while, how can there be time?
Several crew members on the deck looked at me and I looked at you, and they were very puzzled.

Ten minutes later, Liu Hao's voice came from Li Zhenjiang's walkie-talkie asking them to release fishing nets.

Without saying a word, he led a few crew members to pull out one end of the fishing net and slowly put it into the sea. Then, as usual, he let the fishing boat move forward while pulling the remaining fishing net on the fishing boat into the sea.

By the time all the 300-meter-long shrimp nets were put into the sea, it was already one o'clock at noon.

Seeing that the fishing nets had been lowered, Liu Hao asked Liu Jun to anchor the boat while he went to the kitchen to make lunch.

During the meal, Luo Hao still couldn't help his curiosity, and asked Liu Hao in a low voice: "Brother Ha, I heard that when you went fishing with Liu Jun, even the fishing nets were baited? ...how are the nets baited?"

"You looked at me with a blushing face for so long, and you just wanted to ask me this question?" Liu Hao said with a smile after finishing the scorched squid in his mouth.

"Well, I'm just curious to know how the fishing nets are baited. Brother Hao, you can rest assured that my mouth is the tightest, and I will definitely not tell anyone else." Luo Hao patted his chest and swore.

"It's not a secret. If you want to know, I'll tell you. In fact, it's very simple for me to put bait on the fishing net."

Liu Hao waved his hand and said indifferently.

After a long while, he slowly explained: "Put baits on the fishing net. One is to find some other ropes and tie some baits in the middle of the fishing net at a distance. One is that I will ask Liu Jun to slow down the boat and put it on the boat. Fishing net, while casting the bait with the fishing net."

"That's it?"

Liu Hao smiled, and asked back: "Otherwise, what else can I do? Anyway, I did this before, and the effect is not bad. But it's best to put it in the ground cage, the effect is the best."

Hearing Liu Hao's explanation of how to put bait in the fishing net, Li Zhenjiang and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

This seems to make sense, but is it too simple?

They were thinking in their hearts that Liu Hao and the others must have used some very powerful methods to catch so many fish.

But now Liu Hao told them that the method was so simple, which instantly broke their sense of mystery about Liu Hao's fishing.

It turns out that the fishing method is similar to that of ordinary people, except for the point of sprinkling some bait on the fishing net.

After eating and drinking enough, rested for a while.

The time came to more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Because there was no need to drag the net, Liu Hao told Liu Jun after waking up that he was going to dive into the sea to have a look.

The place where Liu Hao stopped the boat was not very deep, about 30 meters.

While he was putting on his diving equipment, Li Zhenjiang and his crew members came to him.

"Boss, are you going to go fishing and hunting under the sea?" Luo Hao asked first.

"Yes, otherwise it would be too boring to stay on the fishing boat and wait for the net to be collected. I also checked the sea water here, and the visibility should be good." Liu Hao replied while continuing to dress.

"Diving, I also want to go down. When we chatted before, Liu Jun told us that you would dive to the bottom of the sea to hunt before, and the harvest was very good."

Liu Hao glanced at the excited Luo Hao, and said with a smile: "Diving is very attractive. There is an unknown world under the seabed. Everyone wants to go down there and explore."

"However, diving is also very dangerous. It requires professional and systematic training to be able to go underwater, so you can't go down now. When you go back to rest, let Liu Jun teach you. You and he are both from the navy, and you should be able to enter the water soon. .”

Speaking of this, Liu Hao glanced at the other crew members, and said with a smile: "If you guys want to dive, you can learn from Liu Jun when you go back."

"I told you before that my fishing boat is different from other people's. The work on the fishing boat will not be heavy, and the rest will be enough. So there are many times when there is no work, just like the current situation. .”

"And in many cases, I will dive to the bottom of the sea to fish and hunt. So it is necessary for you to learn to dive. After all, when I signed the contract, I explained that half of the fish you dive and catch are yours."

"This is also an extra income for you to go to sea, but these are all voluntary, and I will not force you. Make up your own mind."

After speaking, Liu Hao slowly went down the gangway to the sea under the watchful eyes of several crew members.
