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

After the first net is closed, snails and crabs will enter the live cabin. There will be no problem in raising these for a few days, and more will go directly into the cold storage.

The work was completed and it was completely dark.

Lao Mao, who was sitting in the helm cabin, had turned on all the navigation lights, search lights, and work lights. He also marked the new operating radius on the GPS display.

Zhao Qin made sure that nothing was missing on the deck and asked everyone to go back to the cabin to sleep.

There are still about two hours before the net is set up again. At this time, we need to catch up on sleep as soon as possible, otherwise it will be unbearable to float on the sea for several days.

After pushing everyone, including Zhao Ping, into the cabin to rest, he returned to the helm and helped Lao Mao observe the sea.

"Brother Cat, do you regret it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The interpersonal relationships on our ship are simple. Unlike the previous ships, we have to deal with not only work but also people every day. It's very tiring."

Zhao Qin smiled and said: "Don't worry, the income will definitely be higher than what you get at Lao Cai's place."

"Well, Ah Qin, during the fishing moratorium for a few months, I won't need your salary..."

"Not to mention this, I said the guarantee is the guarantee. Brother Cat, I am actually quite rich and I don't care about this."

Old Mao laughed loudly and patted the helm, "I see. I thought you were from a rich family. But after learning more about it, I found out that you are rich yourself. It's not easy to earn such a big family fortune at such a young age. .”

"Follow me, I won't say you will be rich or wealthy, but I can guarantee that in five years, you will no longer have to worry about money.

I not only care about your working hours, but as long as you work with me until retirement, my retirement salary will be guaranteed not to be lower than the national standard. "

"Okay, I'm serious about it, I'll spend it until I retire."

On the one hand, Zhao Qin wanted to tell the truth, but on the other hand, he was just looking for something to talk about, otherwise it would be too boring.

They chatted for a while and smoked a cigarette from time to time. The old cat also talked about tobacco from various places, and the two started discussing again.

"I have been to Yueqing, Shandong, which is a county below Weifang. To be honest, there is not a single decent cigarette brand in Shandong, but there are many kinds of tobacco there.

And the quality of the tobacco is good. Almost every house there has a tobacco curing room, and the tobacco they smoke every day is cured by themselves. "

"It's okay to have a pen in Shandong." Zhao Qin used to have a brother in Shandong. He brought two pens to him when he returned to his hometown. He felt that they were fine for smoking.

"If you want to talk about cigarettes or Yunyan, no matter how rich or cheap you are, it won't be difficult to smoke just buy a pack of them."

Zhao Qin also believed in this point, and he was very convinced by his words.

Tobacco, wine, and tea belong to the same family, and Lao Mao seems to have a lot of experience. The two talked about wine again. When it comes to local wines across the country, Sichuan and Anhui are the strongest.

There is a saying in the liquor industry, ‘If you don’t enter Sichuan from the west, you won’t enter Anhui from the middle.’ This means that it is difficult for foreign liquor brands to achieve good results in these two places.

"Sichuan wine is not bad, but Wanjiu wine is getting more and more fake. Only Gujing, one of the eight oldest wines, is still just good. When you take a sip of other wines, the first thing you drink is not the wine, but the smell of water, and then the wine."

"Well, you know so much about Wanjiu?"

Zhao Qin smiled and said nothing. How could he not understand his hometown?

"But Anhui's tea is still good."

"I like melon slices. It has a mellow and refreshing taste. Tieguanyin is too sweet."

Zhao Qin raised his hand and glanced at the watch. When Lao Mao saw his actions, he also glanced at the clock hanging next to him, "It's been three hours. Start the net?"

"There's no rush, just wait for another half an hour. My brother and I will drag the next net, and you can go and rest."

"Row."

After chatting for a while, the old cat picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "Get up, we're going to set up the net soon."

After a while, Ah Chen was the first to appear on the deck, followed by Zhao Ping and the others.

Zhao Qin also returned to the deck, planning to help close the net.

Repeating the previous actions, when the net bag was hung up on the crane, a hint of joy appeared on everyone's face again. The net bag seemed to be bigger than the previous one, and it must have at least two tons of cargo.

"Another toad fish?" Zhao Ping had long since lost his depression after catching the fish, and his face was filled with joy.

No matter what, after collecting three to four thousand kilograms of toad fish, this net is worth more than ten thousand, which is quite good.

"Aqin, you should untie the fish pocket."

Zhao Qin smiled and waved his hand, "Switch to someone else and see who has better luck. Ah Chen, come on."

Ah Chen didn't show any pretense. He stepped forward and grabbed the rope of the net, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Qin, "Brother Ah Qin, am I open?"

"Why are you so long-winded? Come on."

As the mouth of the net bag opened and the boom was raised, a large amount of catch was poured out. The moment they saw the catch, everyone was both happy and worried.

"Oh my god, why are there so many crabs?"

"This can't be tied up until tomorrow morning."

Strangely, this net seemed to have pierced a crab nest, and it was full of crabs. As the net opened, many big ones had already begun to walk around, holding up their large pincers, and fled everywhere.

Everyone was in a hurry, trying to step on each one, but there were so many escaping crabs that they couldn't step on them at all.

"Hurry up and make a circle with the basket, otherwise we will have to search for crabs all over the ship later and just run to the rest cabin to have fun." Zhao Qin said with a wry smile.

What a happy trouble!

The old cat was overjoyed to see so many crabs and said, "Ah Qin, these are much more valuable than toad fish."

"It's much more troublesome than a toad fish."

Zhao Ping smiled and said: "We are fishermen, we just eat this bowl of rice. We are only afraid of not getting a harvest, but we are not afraid of trouble."

"Yes, what A Ping said makes sense. Let's work harder and try to resolve the battle in two hours." Old Cat encouraged everyone and ran to the helm. Don't dare to joke when sailing at night.

You have to be more attentive than during the day and don't be afraid of getting lost. After all, this boat has a GPS, but you are afraid of running aground.

Zhao Qin looked at the crabs at his feet and was surprised. It felt like a hodgepodge of crabs. There were all kinds of crabs. The most popular ones were orchid crabs and three-eyed crabs, with a certain proportion of blue crabs and safflower crabs mixed in.

Three-eyed crabs are not worth much. They cost about seven or eight yuan per catty now. The price of orchid crabs is almost half a catty or more when caught now. The price should be more than 25.

Blue crabs and safflower crabs are more expensive. As the end of the year approaches, the price of seafood increases. Fat crabs can be sold for around 40, and the price of cream crabs will be even higher.

"Fuck, be careful." Zhao Qin hurriedly reminded him when he saw that Zhuzi was about to reach out when a red eel suddenly emerged from the pile of crabs.

"Why do you still have this thing?" Zhu Zhu quickly retracted his hand, with a lingering fear on his face. Being bitten was not a joke.

This red eel is not small, weighing seven or eight pounds, and it can be sold for a good price.

"I'll catch it." Zhao Ping first used the pole to lift it to the side, then quickly stepped on a point below the head, then pinched the mouth with his upper hand, and pinched the middle position with the other hand, as fast as possible Throw it into the living cabin.

"Aqin, get off the net first." Old Cat reminded.

"Okay, let's set another net. I just saw an island. After dragging this net up, we will anchor there and rest."

He didn't think about running 24 hours a day, so he always gave the machine a rest. It would probably be past one o'clock at night before he could catch another net, so he could rest for four or five hours before continuing.

When the net was lowered into the sea, everyone worked together to tie the crabs.

"Brother Aqin, there are two more fish here. These fish are quite strange." Achen could always dig out strange things from the fish pile.
