Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

After dinner, we started our second trip to the sea. The result was just as Zhao Qin had joked before.

It turned out to be a full net of hairtail.

And they were all big, each weighing about two kilograms. Looking at the fresh hairtail fish that looked like silver ribbons with small black eyes, Zhao Qin swallowed his saliva uncontrollably.

Sure enough, you don’t need to observe its shape carefully to know that this thing is fat.

"Achen, let's steam it for supper tonight."

"I understand, Brother Qin."

Everyone on the boat was very excited because black-eyed small-eyed snapper was very expensive, and the common yellow-eyed snapper in the South China Sea could be sold for less than 20 yuan per pound.

But this kind of hairtail can be sold for more than 30 yuan, which is more valuable than the red sea bream caught in the previous net.

Plus, there are about four tons of goods, so this net is worth at least 20 yuan.

The two networks have 30 worth of seafood. If the income is based on this, then this trip can at least bring in two to three million. However, they may have to return early due to overcapacity.

Lao Tong also came out to take a look. Seeing so many seafood, he was also amazed and exclaimed, "A Ping said they harvested more than three tons of hairtail. I was wondering how much there would be, but I didn't expect that we had more."

"Brother Tong, we once had a net burst. A whole net couldn't hold all the fish. But that net seemed to be filled with trigger fish." Ah You said proudly.

"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak." When Asi heard the word "trigger fish", the veins in his temples were throbbing. How could that thing be compared with the small eye-belt?

Lao Tong smiled in agreement, then turned around and went back to the wheelhouse.

This process took quite a while. Zhao Qin sorted the items while watching the system. Today, he had over 50 points of luck, so there should be new varieties.

Besides, it's already past 8 o'clock, if there's no more internet, we'll be in vain.

There was also good news. The color of the arrow indicating the direction began to fade slowly, indicating that we were approaching the target waters.

Never mind. When the permanent luck value reached more than 50,000, he found that his dependence on the real-time luck value was getting lower and lower.

You can also make a fortune by catching older fish species, such as yellow croaker, hmm.

The lights on the ship were bright, and the lights of the Diligent were also clearly visible in the distance. The two ships always maintained a parallel distance of one or two nautical miles.

Sorting hairtail is a little more troublesome. In addition to sorting them into different sizes, they also need to be straightened one by one.

Plus there were enough of them, so it took more than three hours to clean up the deck, and now it was time to start the third net.

However, Zhao Qin still asked everyone to postpone for another hour so that the network could be set up before nightfall.

"Brother Qin, do you want to make a midnight snack?"

"Okay, then let's have a midnight snack first and then fish the nets, steam a few hairtail fish, and stir-fry some rice noodles."

Achen responded and went to prepare. Lin Laoer was responsible for frying the rice noodles, while he was responsible for killing and steaming the fish. After a while, he notified everyone to start eating.

Zhao Qin picked up two pieces of hairtail and sat aside to taste them carefully. He had to admit that the hairtail in this season was really fat. When he ate it, he could clearly taste the aroma brought by the fat in the fish body.

This fat does not taste like pork fat. Instead, it penetrates into the fish meat, making it more tender.

As for rice noodles, they are actually harder to digest than rice, so they are very filling and can keep you full.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, it was time to start the net. This time, Zhao Qin did it himself because he was also curious about what new things were in the net bag.

After a while, as the net was pulled up, no one looked very happy, because compared with the hairtail in the previous net, the net in this net was obviously shrunk, and it looked like it only weighed more than two tons.

But everyone is not disappointed. After all, the value of a network depends on its weight and quality.

Not to mention more than two tons, even one ton of yellow croaker would be much more satisfying than what we caught with the previous two nets.

After the net was hoisted onto the deck, Zhao Qin personally pulled the rope of the net, and the next moment the seafood poured out.

Looking at the fish still jumping on the ground, everyone was a little confused. What kind of fish is this?

Never seen it!

"Why does this fish look so strange? It looks a bit like a flying fish, and a bit like a tiger fish." Ah You said, and was about to reach out to catch one to take a closer look.

"Don't move." Lao Mao shouted loudly, and everyone, including Zhao Qin, looked at him.

"This fish is poisonous, everyone be careful." After explaining the reason, the old cat couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my god, why are there so many of these? They say they don't gather in groups, how can you catch so many?"

Naturally, no one could answer his question, because apart from him, probably only Lao Tong knew what it was, and Lao Tong was still driving a boat.

"Brother Mao, what kind of fish is this?" Feng Xinghua asked, squatting down.

This fish has a very unique look. It has a slender body with zebra stripes and many very long fins, like the wings of a flying fish or the dancing sleeves of a robe.

Not only does it look gorgeous, it actually has a strange sense of majesty.

"Lionfish, also called turkey fish, don't touch it with your hands. It's the same as tiger fish, with a row of poisonous spikes on its back."

Zhao Qin had carefully picked up one. Through systematic scientific research, he learned that the scientific name of this thing is lionfish. Like tiger fish, it is lazy by nature and its activity radius is not large.

It hides during the day and comes out at night, hunting at night, and can be found in shallow or deep waters.

Just as Lao Mao said, the system also shows that this kind of fish rarely gathers in groups. We were able to catch so many this time. We don’t know what happened in the sea.

This fish is usually difficult to catch, so it is mostly used as an ornamental fish, but it can also be eaten, and the fish meat is pink and tender and very delicious. The system estimates it is 120 yuan per catty, which is quite high.

"Everyone, please sort carefully. Take out all the clips in the warehouse and use clips as much as possible." Lao Mao asked Feng Xinghua to get the clips.

Then he added, "This thing is valuable when it's alive. I heard that one ornamental fish was sold for nearly 300 yuan, so we should try to keep it alive."

"Brother Cat, are they so expensive? We probably have five or six thousand of them, how much are they worth?"

"Don't think too much. If there are too many of something, it will definitely lose its value, but this net of three or four hundred thousand is still worth it."

Hearing the value, everyone exclaimed in unison, and then the emotions became more and more excited. Just at this moment, Lao Tong ran over and said, "Ah Ping and his team have caught another net of small-eye tapes. They've made a fortune. We... Oh my God, what is this."

After seeing it more clearly, he was delighted again, "Lionfish, Mother Serin, how can there be so many lionfish? Sorting them out quickly, these fish are expensive when they are alive."

"Lao Tong, don't forget the rudder direction." The one who could say this was naturally the old cat. Lao Tong then reacted, exclaimed, and ran back to the wheelhouse, just like riding a horse, which showed how happy he was inside.

There aren't that many tongs on board, so some people still have to take the risk and sort by hand.

The clamps were given to a few rookies, and those who considered themselves veterans all used their hands. After squatting down to sort the pieces for a while, they heard a soft cry, "Oh no, I got pricked."

Seeing Ah You pinching his fingers, Ah Si was worried and angry, "Tell me what you can do, squeeze out some blood."

In just a moment, Ah You's whole body began to tremble slightly, and beads of sweat were clearly visible on his forehead.
