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

"Ah Chen, one tail per person, choose the big one, steam it now, let's have a taste."

As soon as the deck was cleared, Zhao Qin started clamoring for fish.

It was impossible to eat enough, the fish was too small, so I could only taste it.

The old cat sighed and said: "Aqin, let's have breakfast. We can still get some sleep."

"Oh, yes, go to bed first and then eat at breakfast."

After Zhao Qin finished speaking, he got into the cabin.

The other people had rested for about five hours before and were all energetic at the moment. Zhao Ping was driving the boat and Xia Shouzhu was with him in the helm to help observe.

Ah Chen was holding a fishing net and teaching Xia Yingjie how to fish.

There is no shortage of fish on the sea. Of course, if you can catch it casually, it won’t be a good fish.

Anyway, Zhao Qin said that as long as they caught it by themselves during their break, it would be theirs, so everyone was quite positive.

At this moment, the direction is southeast. Including the previous five hours, we have traveled about 40 nautical miles.

Zhao Qin has long been accustomed to life on the ship. He sleeps well and doesn't snore much, but the old cat's snoring is loud.

It would have been impossible for him to fall asleep before, but now, the old cat's purring has turned into a lullaby.

They didn't sleep for long. About two hours later, a notice came from the loudspeaker to start the net. The two of them got up and came to the deck. The winch was already working.

"Can I untie the net?" Xia Yingjie asked, rubbing his hands when he saw Zhao Qin getting up.

"Okay, it's up to you to solve this net."

Although no matter who solves the problem, everyone can see the fish catch immediately, but if you don’t solve it by yourself, you always feel that there is one less layer of happiness.

Just like when you put down a net to catch fish, when you watch it from the shore, you always feel that you are not satisfied with holding the net in person.

Zhao Qin took a look at the sky. It was almost six o'clock. The sun was about to rise in the east, and the sky was getting brighter.

Ignoring others, he used the skill of lifting the net to quickly finish washing. Seeing this, the others, except for the two who were lifting the net, also followed suit and started washing.

After a while, the net bag came up. When the old cat saw the size of the net bag, he smiled and said, "It's not bad. It looks like it's more than two tons."

Zhao Qin gestured, and Xia Yingjie became a little nervous. He rubbed his hands on his clothes.

Then he spat in his palms again and rubbed his hands together. Zhao Qin felt nauseated at the sight. Damn, he didn't want to let this guy get out of trouble.

The rope was pulled open, the boom vibrated, and the fish fell from the sky.

Seeing the catch on the deck, a series of exclamations erupted on the boat again. Compared with the last catch, it may be further away from the shore, so there is less garbage.

As soon as it was poured out, you could see a bunch of white fish. No, it should be said to be a light yellow one.

"Hahaha, Ah Chen, let's cook two or three strips per person later and eat them to our heart's content."

That's right, what you see are all sweet fish, and they are all pretty good in size, each one weighing more than three ounces.

Just now I thought that there were only more than ten tails for everyone to try, but now I can enjoy it.

The old cat was stunned for a long time, speechless, surprised and excited.

The reason why sweetfish is so expensive or has been included in tributes for a long time is that it has a unique taste, and the most important reason is because it is rare. In today's situation, it can be caught by the ton.

"Brother Cat...Brother Cat."

It took the old cat a while to realize that he heard someone calling him, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just screamed when I saw you were dazed." Xia Shouzhu said.

"Oh, it's okay, hurry up and sort."

At this moment, he also figured it out, no matter what, what he caught is ours, dear, I'm afraid it's three or four thousand kilograms, one kilogram is priced at 100 yuan, and it's hundreds of thousands, which is great.

It's like saying that I've only been out at sea for a whole day, and I've already gained 7000000000000000000. After excluding expenses, I can get 70000000 yuan. Good times are coming.

With an uncontrollable smile on his face, he participated in the sorting.

Zhao Ping ran down and took a look, and was overjoyed, "Why are there so many sweet fish?"

"Brother, you know him too."

"Nonsense, I've eaten it before, but it's just more than one ounce per tail. I ate it on the boat a few years ago."

"Is it tasty?"

"Of course... just so so, that's all."

Zhao Qin rolled his eyes and pointed to the wheelhouse, "Brother, let's sail the boat."

Zhao Ping:......

Ayu is actually a migratory fish. Like salmon, it goes to nearby freshwater rivers to lay eggs every year. The adult fish will die after laying eggs.

The small fish will swim back to the sea again, wait until they grow up and return to the river to lay eggs and then die. This is the cycle of fate.

Zhao Qin also discovered a rule. Generally, the taste of fish that migrates into fresh water is not too bad.

"Brother Aqin, look at this one." Chen Yuce picked up one tail, which was also the largest so far. It was estimated to be about seven or eight taels.

This is definitely a giant among sweet fish.

"Pick out the big ones and let's eat them for breakfast."

"Aqin, actually the small ones taste the same." The old cat couldn't bear it anymore. Just eat it. Why should you choose the best one?

Zhao Qin thinks that if you eat everything, why don’t you choose the best one for yourself?

"The smaller ones have less meat, and the larger ones are more satisfying." He replied matter-of-factly.

The old cat glared at Chen Yuce angrily, and then said to Zhao Qin: "Aqin, please change your brother for a while. He has been driving for a long time and is very tired."

"Yeah, that's right." Zhao Ping has been driving for four hours and it's time for a change. Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind A Ce, "Put the big one aside."

As soon as he left, the old cat glared at everyone angrily, "If you find a good one, just put it in the warehouse. It's very valuable, how can you swallow it?"

"Brother Cat, what about this one?"

"Put it into storage."

"If Brother Aqin then..."

"It's all in the cold storage. Will he go rummaging in the cold storage?"

A Ce was a little undecided, mainly because he was afraid that Zhao Qin would scold him later. Zhao Ping happened to arrive and added, "Just listen to your brother Cat."

Zhao Qin drove the boat and ate strawberries.

Ah Xue packed it with more than twenty kilograms. This thing must be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise it will rot.

He had been driving for almost an hour when Ah Chen came in with breakfast.

Zhao Qin glanced at the food on the plate and smiled. Little did he know that the old cat wanted to get rid of him, fearing that he would harm those good fish again.

Seeing that the two fish on his plate were a lot smaller, he didn't ask any more questions.

The rice is topped with pork and radish soup, and there are two pieces of salted fish and a little dried radish on the side. It's very appetizing at first glance.

Zhao Qin was not in a hurry to eat, but took a sip of tea to wash away the strawberry taste in his mouth. Then he picked up a small piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The meat is a bit like the phoenix we had before, but it is thicker and more tender than the phoenix. It melts in your mouth and you don’t need to chew it anyway.

The tenderness of the fish coupled with the fragrance of cucumbers makes the taste a little hard to describe, but it is indeed delicious.

The fish he has eaten so far, purely in terms of tenderness and freshness, is probably only comparable to the big white pomfret from before.

Ah Chen returned to the deck after delivering the meal. Ah Ce grabbed him and said, "Brother Ah Qin didn't say anything, did he?"

"Aqin asked me if the biggest one was for you to eat? I said Ace was a little younger and if he wanted to eat, just give it to him. Then Brother Aqin said nothing."

"What nonsense are you talking about? That fish is in the cold storage and I didn't eat it. No, I'll go find that fish and show it to Brother Aqin."

"Okay, I can tell Achen is teasing you." Xia Shouzhu said with a smile.

The old cat took a bite of the sweet fish and couldn't help but nod. He said to Zhao Ping: "A Ping, it's expensive for a reason. This fish is delicious. Among all the fish I eat, it ranks among the top five."

"Brother Cat, what fish do you think is the most delicious?"

“Silver pomfret and afternoon fish both taste very good.”

Zhao Ping nodded and acknowledged that people's tastes are different, but as long as they have eaten authentic wild-caught silver pomfret, no one will think it is not delicious.
