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

The boat arrived at the place where the sticky nets were placed, and the four people divided the work. This time, Ah He was in charge of controlling the boat, Zhao Qin was in charge of closing the nets, and Zhao Ping and Ah Chen were in charge of untying the nets.

Use a hook to fish up the floating ball, hang it on the winch, and then start to close the net.

Although no fish was caught at the end of the net, it was only stretched for two or three meters, and seven or eight fish were stuck together. However, the fish were very small, ranging from three to four taels of small ones to half a catty of large ones, and they were all colorful. .

The main color is yellow, with a lot of variegated spots. The tail fin is yellow and brown, which is quite beautiful. From the head to the dorsal fin, there is a long thorn standing tall.

The mouth is slender and protruding, and is very small, making it look a bit silly.

"Brother, is this an ornamental fish?"

Zhao Qin frowned. Some ornamental fish have no food value. Although they can be sold, it is very troublesome to find special channels.

"Aqin, this is a skinned fish, a good fish." Zhao Ping said in surprise.

"It's not like I've never seen a skinned fish before, not that horse face..."

"Who told you that there is only one type of fish? The scientific name of this fish is probably the Chinese puffer fish. It is the smallest among the fish, but it also has the best taste and the highest price."

As the two of them talked, their relationship became better and better.

"Brother, does this thing also live in groups?"

"Yes, they usually come in groups, but there aren't many of them in our area of ​​the sea. I didn't expect we encountered them today."

At this moment, the fishing net has become a string of fish. If you pick up a little bit, it will be a string of fish.

The Chinese pufferfish looks pretty good, I guess.

Although this fish is small, it is much easier to catch than the red ribbon fish and sole fish. Even so, Zhao Qin still slowed down the speed of pulling the net.

The fish this time were very mixed, including sea bream, giant golden pomfret, and even two or three tiger fish, but the big ones were still small fish. There were really many, and there were several fish just by pulling at them.

Although they are small, they can’t stand up to the large number!

"Ah He, turn on all the lights." Zhao Ping called out, and the next moment all the searchlights on the ship turned on.

The four of them were very busy. After collecting the first net, Zhao Ping estimated that the net alone would contain at least thirty or forty kilograms of small skinned fish, plus tiger fish and the like. The value is not low.

The net continues to be pulled upward, and almost every net has the same harvest.

The second net also collected a few big red seals, and several people looked disgusted, but the little striped fish's luck continued to come one after another.

When the seventh net was pulled, Lao Luo's boat came over.

However, Zhao Qin's fishing boat was working and was not stationary, so the two boats could not get close to each other.

Lao Luo and the others arrived early, and the first wave of nets had already been collected. They were almost the same as Zhao Qin and the others. They were almost all small fish. It could be seen from Lao Luo's grin that he was quite satisfied with the harvest this time. satisfy.

Watching Zhao Qin and the others continue to catch fish, he was not too envious. The situation was similar to his previous situation.

He also felt that establishing a good relationship with Zhao Qin, putting aside his status as an old fisherman, and actively asking A Qin to take him with him was the most correct decision he made this year.

Zhao Qin only waved to Lao Luo and started busy again. The machine was too noisy. No matter how loud he was now, Lao Luo wouldn't hear him.

When collecting the tenth one, some nets were hung, indicating that there were a lot of rocks underneath, and the fish species became more mixed. Another red spot weighing more than two kilograms was caught, which made Lao Luo scream on the boat.

Zhao Ping had to stop and take out a needle to give Red Spot a shot. Ah He also jumped down from the driver's seat from time to time to help untie the fish.

"Brother, it seems that there are more winners than us."

Lao Luo's younger brother is called Luo Xiangbing. He is a down-to-earth and hard-working man. He will stop the engine and rely on inertia to slowly follow Zhao Qin and his fishing boat.

"Well, Ah Qin has always had the best luck. Ah Bing, we are pretty good too. Not only did we drink the soup, but we also picked up two pieces of meat to eat."

"Brother, this is a treasure land. I guess there will be another sensation when we go back to the village pier tomorrow night."

Lao Luo suddenly thought, "Why don't we do the same as Ah Qin and sell it at the town wharf tonight?"

"I think so too. I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain when we get to Tokimura Pier. After all, we are regular customers who have been collecting fish for several years."

"It's simple. Keep a small part and sell it back to the village. This way it won't be conspicuous."

The two of them agreed that they would wait for Zhao Qin and the others to finish their work and discuss it with him again.

On Zhao Qin's boat, the four of them were so busy that they had no time to think about anything else.

He has to control the speed of pulling the net. If there are too many fish, the fish will be pulled too fast, and the people behind will be unable to untie it, which will cause the net to accumulate on the deck and easily get tangled in the net. He will occasionally help untie the fish.

When fifteen nets were received, new species were added to the fish school. Small skinned fish were mixed with mud fish.

Moreover, the mud fish are not small in size and are very fat, with each tail weighing more than a kilogram.

Nimeng, also known as stinky belly fish, has no scales on its body and no small thorns in its flesh. It tastes delicious and is very suitable for children to eat.

Whether it's braised, pan-fried, or pickled into salted fish, it all tastes pretty good.

When killing fish, be careful to scrape off the black film in the belly, otherwise there will be an indescribable smell, which is why it is called smelly belly.

The appearance of the mud fish has slowed down the original progress again. Because the sting of this fish is poisonous, you must be very careful when untangling the fish.

Although its toxicity is not as severe as that of tiger fish, it will still hurt for a while if it is stung.

Mudfish

"Be careful, this stuff is poisonous." As soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, he saw A He waving his hands and jumping up and down.

"Been stabbed?" Zhao Ping was angry and worried at the same time.

Ah He shook it a few times and used his other hand to squeeze the place where his finger was poked.

"The urine soaked in the hands." Zhao Ping said.

Ah He said depressedly while squeezing, "Have you just peed?"

"I have it. I can lend it to you. You don't have to pay it back." Ah Chen said seriously.

Ah He wanted to refute, but in the end he let Ah Chen pee a little on his hands. After a while, he felt better and then washed his hands.

When the time came to nine o'clock, Zhao Qin finally pulled the tail of the net onto the boat.

Several people were working hard at this moment. Not to mention the busy hands, even standing for three hours was tiring. Zhao Ping organized the net.

Zhao Qin stopped the winch and stepped forward to help put the fish into the warehouse.

When everything was done, he jumped to the bridge again and shouted to Lao Luo while sailing the boat: "Uncle Luo, let's go and lower the net first."

Lao Luo waved his hand, "While you're drinking, be careful with your homework at night."

Zhao Ping and the three of them all sat on the ground panting, and kept rubbing the back of their necks vigorously, lowering their heads all the time, and their cervical vertebrae also felt uncomfortable.

Ah Chen didn't rest for two minutes before he got up and handed his cups to everyone.

"Brother Aqin, drink some water."

"Stop being busy, sit down and rest for a while. It's not too late for us to take off the net and start cooking again."

When they came to the sea area to the west of the island, this area was actually very close to the place where they put the longline fishing. It was estimated that the distance was only two or three nautical miles. After lowering all the nets into the sea, they adjusted the steering and came to Lao Luo's boat.

"The food is here, you don't have to be busy, come here quickly."

After tying the two boats together, Zhao Qin and others boarded Lao Luo's boat without ceremony. After a dozen cigarettes, everyone smoked a cigarette, and then they started eating and drinking.

Lao Luo fried a few small skinned fish, not to mention, the taste was quite good.

I didn’t drink much, just two cups per person to keep away the cold. After all, I had to get up to work at night. After eating, because the two sides worked at different times,

Lao Luo was afraid that his boat would get up early and disturb Zhao Qin and the others from their rest, so he sailed back to the north where he was surfing the river. Zhao Qin and his boat did not move and just stopped in place.
