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

It has been five days since the two ships came out. Compared to when they first came out, everyone is naturally more tired.

The weather has been changing from time to time these days. It even rained a little today. Of course, it was very short, only about ten minutes, and did not affect the homework.

These five days have yielded quite a lot.

According to Lao Mao, as long as Zhao Qin follows him, he doesn't have to do anything. He is a mascot and the harvest is sure to be good.

In the evening, Zhao Qin saw an island nearby and ran back to the wheelhouse and said to Lao Mao, "Brother Mao, let's rest tonight and fish for a whole day tomorrow. We will go home the day after tomorrow afternoon."

I went back in the afternoon, driving for about ten hours, and arrived home early the next morning.

It's always better to unload goods during the day than at night.

"Ah Qin, our boat can still hold some more, how about we continue fishing for two more days?"

Zhao Qin hesitated for a moment and thought that it would be fine to catch the fish for two more days. "Well, I'll call home tomorrow."

I told my family that it would be a week, so I must call them if there is a postponement to avoid worrying them.

I negotiated with the big brother on the Diligent through the radio, and the other party agreed almost without hesitation.

As for the boatmen, they wished that the boat would be full every time, because they would have a share of every dollar earned.

Besides, it’s such a rare opportunity to have good weather, we can’t waste it.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhao Qin glanced at his watch. It was almost nine o'clock. He notified everyone to get up the nets and said to Lao Mao, "Brother Mao, notify my eldest brother and the others to get up the nets and head to the island. Let's have a good sleep tonight."

The old cat hummed softly. After working for several days in a row, people can take turns to rest, and it's time to let the machine rest.

It just so happened that the two ships were approaching each other, so we asked Lao Du to check them out to prevent any accidents from happening.

When the net was raised, the size of the net was not bad, about two tons. As the mouth of the net was opened, fish fell out one by one.

"Hey, Black Bao?"

"Bullshit Black Bao Gong, it's obviously a pepper snapper." Achen retorted to Ayou.

Then Lai Bao took a look and said to the two of them, "Look carefully, this is the Skinner."

At this time, the boat was turned off, leaving only the sound of the generator. Suddenly, the whole boat felt much quieter.

The old cat came over and said happily after just one look, "Why are there so many blacksmiths? These are good fish. Pick some that are full of vitality and raise them. These fish are expensive to keep alive."

Feng Xinghua was a little confused, because at this moment, he heard the names of four kinds of fish, so what kind of fish is this?

He turned his head to look at Zhao Qin and asked, "Aqin, what is this fish called?"

"The scientific name is sawtail snapper." Zhao Qin pointed to the four protruding bone plates on the tail. "Does it look like a saw blade? That's how the fish got its name. Of course, it has many common names, such as blacksmith and skinner, which are general names for several types of fish."

The reason why Brother Cat said that this fish is expensive when alive is because this fish is still good-looking and can be used as an ornamental fish when alive.

The pointed mouth is a real cherry mouth, because the mouth is red, and the overall color is dark brown with a gray tint. There is a dotted line below the dorsal fin, from the head to the tail.

There are pure black patches on the edge of the raised bone plate at the tail.

In fact, it was the first time he had seen this kind of fish, which was quite rare. The system estimated its price to be 55 yuan per catty, which was quite high.

The fish are of good size, weighing about two kilograms on average, making them easy to sort.

"Achen, we'll eat it tonight. Brother Cat, have you ever eaten it?"

The old cat nodded, "I ate it a long time ago, and I have long forgotten what it tasted like."

Everyone was busy, and soon the Diligent came over, "Ah Qin, we caught a net of skinned fish, this fish is not cheap."

"So are we."

The two ships were tied together and each was busy with work on the deck. After an hour, they both finished their work.

The two sides cooked at the same time. After they were done, they all jumped onto the Unity. Tonight was a rest night, so the old cat took out the white wine.

Zhao Qin has no addiction to drinking, he prefers delicious food.

This sawtail snapper is quite difficult to clean. Unlike other skinned fish, its outer skin is very sticky and requires some effort to peel off.

But I have to say that the taste of this fish is really good, it has a lot of fat, it tastes very fragrant and not dry at all.

After lunch, it was time to take duty. Zhao Qin had slept for more than three hours this morning, so he asked Ajie to accompany him to take duty for half the night.

The second half of the night was scheduled for Lin Lao Er and A Ming.

There was no room for sleeping in the cabin, but luckily it was not cold and we could sleep outside. After everyone had finished eating, they found their own place to sleep.

Zhao Qin and Ajie also turned off the generators on the two ships.

All the lights on the boat were turned off and it became completely quiet. He and Ajie each held a flashlight and shone it onto the sea from time to time.

To the west, the following ship seemed to be still operating, and the lights were still very obvious at night.

"How was your stay at home?" During the fishing moratorium, Ajie stayed at home for nearly a month.

"I'm used to being at the beach, but I'm a little uncomfortable going home. I feel like a pig, eating and sleeping all day long."

"Didn't you take down the cage?" Zhao Qin handed him a cigarette and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm busy all day, climbing mountains and crossing rivers. If I'm lucky, I can make 200 yuan, and if I'm unlucky, I can make 30 to 50 yuan. I don't think much of it."

Zhao Qin also laughed. It was human nature. Even pigs would be picky eaters if they were used to eating fine bran, let alone humans.

"By the way, I heard your mother is here too?"

"Well, she came a few days ago to look after the kids. My wife can still work at Tianqin, and she earns about a thousand yuan a month."

"That's fine. I'll go see my aunt when I get home this time." After all, she's my eldest sister's mother-in-law and my elder.

Ajie really likes chatting with Zhao Qin. Not only is he not arrogant, but he is also like an encyclopedia, knowing everything you ask him.

This is not because I rely on the system, but because I watched too many short videos in my previous life, so I feel like I can brag about everything.

When he looked out into the distance again, the boats following the operation were no longer visible. Zhao Qin did not pay much attention to it, thinking that they had dragged the net far away.

But when he turned on the flashlight, he found that there seemed to be a layer of smoke rising in the light, and he frowned.

"Aqin, it seems to be foggy." Ajie lives in the mountainous area and is no stranger to foggy weather.

Zhao Qin hummed, "It looks like the fog is quite big. Alas, in our area, fog is quite rare in this season. It is usually more likely to be foggy in February and March."

"I hope it will clear up tomorrow morning." Ajie also felt a headache. The fog on the sea was still very dangerous.

Whenever there was fog, they had to stop and rest.

"Aqin, the fishing boat following us seems to have disappeared." Ajie stood up and stood on the gangway to look around.

"The fog was quite thick, so it was normal that we couldn't see anything. They were not stupid, so they must have found a place to rest."

The two of them didn't care much. Zhao Qin had already noticed that the man on the other side was also an experienced captain and would definitely put safety first.

The fog ruined the mood for chatting, and the two of them smoked in silence.

I hope the sun will be stronger tomorrow and dispel the fog as soon as possible, otherwise I don’t know when I can start my work.
