Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!
Chapter 242: Weird Big Baby (6800+6900 plus)
Liu Meilan was surprised and asked curiously: "If it can make you so excited, it must be a good thing!"
Wu Yong nodded, "Yes, it's very good. It's a big net of lobsters, all of them."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "That's great. The price of green lobsters is very high recently. This net is worth a lot of money. It's just that tying the lobsters is a bit troublesome."
"It's not a big deal. We can't wait to keep tying lobsters." Wu Yong said with a smile, "Captain Meilan, I'm going to go tie lobsters."
Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
In fact, Liu Meilan already knew about it and sailed a boat specifically to the lobster area.
Lobsters are nocturnal animals. They hide in the reefs during the day and come out to look for food at night.
They communicate with each other through their sound-making antennae and like to live in groups.
This kind of lobster is not too big, about the size of a palm.
The shell is hard and the meat is small. The taste is sweet and refreshing. The meat is white, crispy and smooth.
Whether eaten raw, steamed, stir-fried, baked, roasted, grilled or boiled, it tastes great.
Since the shrimp flavor is not very strong, it is better to pair it with some vegetables and herbs.
By the time everyone finished sorting the lobsters, more than two hours had passed and it was time to pull up the nets.
Zhao Gang came in to start the boat, "Captain Meilan, it's already midnight and you're still awake. I'm expecting you to untie the nets."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Zhao, please drive the boat. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Captain, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
When he got outside, Tang Changping had already hoisted the bulging net above the deck.
Sister Zhao said with a smile, "Captain Meilan, come and untie the net. This should be the time when the big yellow croakers come out to move around. Maybe we can catch some big yellow croakers."
Hearing this, Liu Meilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What a nice thing everyone was thinking.
There are fewer and fewer yellow croakers, and it is not easy to catch them.
What's more, she already knew what this network was.
Liu Meilan untied the net, and the fish in the net fell down with a crackling sound. They were all long hairtails.
"It's a cutlassfish." Everyone was a little disappointed, but when they saw how big the cutlassfish was, they were happy again.
"The quality of the hairtail today is really good, big and fat." Sister Zhao smiled and came over with a basket to sort them.
We are all experienced boatmen and can estimate the approximate weight by holding it in our hands.
Hairtail will die if it leaves the water.
After sorting, they are immediately sent to the freezer.
Liu Meilan helped with the sorting, which was faster. After we were done, everyone went to take a rest.
Those who sleep in the first half of the night get up and work.
It's always like this at sea, there's very little time for sleep. Sometimes I take a nap, but once the net is up, I'll be busy again.
Two more nets were set up at night, one for silver pomfret and one for swimming crabs.
The captain of the fishing boat was very sleepy while sailing at night and often communicated via walkie-talkie.
The harvest of the Harvest was also good.
The next morning, Liu Meilan got up to replace Zhao Gang.
Sister Zhao’s cooking tastes okay, but there aren’t many varieties.
In the morning, I eat seafood noodles with fried dough sticks or crispy and fragrant sanzi. (Picture)
It’s okay if you eat fried dough sticks on the same day, but they will become hard or soft if you eat them the next day.
Unlike loose beans, they will remain dry and crisp as long as they are placed in a plastic bag.
Put a little in seafood noodles, it’s especially delicious.
Liu Meilan likes to eat it this way, with less noodles and more soup, and put the sanzi in the bowl. The sanzi is soaked in seafood soup, and the texture is between soft on the outside and crispy on the inside, which is particularly delicious.
I was lucky today. The sea level dropped and I found an island reef full of oysters.
If the oysters were small, Liu Meilan wouldn't waste her time.
But the oysters here are very big, the nearby water is clear, the aquatic plants are lush, and the taste of the top-quality oysters is even sweeter.
Liu Meilan immediately decided to go down to dig for oysters. Another boat continued to trawling nearby.
Everyone is familiar with this kind of work. Wearing life jackets and sitting on small boats, they arrive at the islands and reefs one after another.
A batch of tools have been updated recently, greatly improving the efficiency of digging oysters.
There is no need to look for them, because oysters are everywhere! (Photo)
Everyone is a skilled boatman and the speed is very fast.
Because everyone knows that once the sea level rises, we can no longer dig.
The more they dig, the more money they can sell for, and the higher their commission.
In order to get more commission, no one was lazy.
After all, the fishing ban period is about to end, and if I want to take a rest, I won’t be able to go out to sea for a long time.
With this mentality, people are very motivated and can dig a basket of oysters in just a few minutes.
It took about two hours and hundreds of baskets were dug.
Seeing the water level rising, Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Okay, let's call it a day! Come here and dig again next time."
When they heard Liu Meilan say it was time to call it a day, everyone stood up to rest and pat their waists.
It’s a bit tiring, but I gained a lot.
They were loaded onto the ship one basket at a time, and at last count there were 118 baskets.
Oysters are one of the main dishes in seafood restaurants, and so many top-quality oysters are definitely popular.
Liu Meilan was immersed in the joy of the harvest and was unaware that she was being boycotted by members of the Fishery Association on shore.
She is happily fishing in the sea and always catches very good seafood.
Some naughty sea turtles will also get into fishing nets.
Liu Meilan was always very angry because she couldn't catch these turtles because they would fall out of the fishing nets and smash a lot of fish.
Liu Meilan grabbed the turtle's feet and threw it down. "If you act naughty again, I'll stew you and eat you."
The fish in this net are very good, including quite a few groupers, which were caught in disaster.
This big turtle was actually chasing the boat mischievously, which made Liu Meilan very angry!
Even though Liu Meilan changed direction, the big turtle was more agile in the water.
This is not Heizi, this big turtle is a little yellow in color, and I don’t know where this naughty big baby came from!
When the big turtle got into the fishing net again and was pulled out of the water, killing many fish, Liu Meilan almost cried.
The boatmen were also very angry. Could it be that this shabby turtle was going to blame them?
Sister Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's going on with this thing? It's clean, without any barnacles! We don't know what it wants to do."
Wu Yong scratched his head. "Does this thing like to walk into traps so much? If so, it would have been caught long ago. How could it have grown so big?"
Liu Meilan walked over, picked up the turtle's feet, went to the brightest light, and examined it carefully.
If there is none on the body, then it must be in the mouth.
At this time, the big turtle was very well-behaved and quickly opened its mouth.
With the help of the light, Liu Meilan finally saw clearly that there was a piece of glass in the mouth of the big turtle, stuck in its throat.
"No wonder, it turns out that there are pieces of glass stuck in my throat." After Liu Meilan said this, she reached out to take out the piece of glass in her throat.
"Meilan, is there any danger?" Sister Zhao reminded, a little worried.
Liu Meilan smiled and patted the turtle's head with her other hand, "Open your mouth wider, don't bite me."
The big turtle seemed to understand and opened its mouth even wider.
At this time, Liu Meilan smiled, put on gloves, and quickly took out the piece of glass from the sea turtle's throat.
The glass pierced the turtle quite deeply and its throat started bleeding.
Liu Meilan's ability to heal wounds came in handy at this time.
Sure enough, after Liu Meilan's treatment, the sea turtle's throat wound healed and stopped bleeding.
The big turtle's eyes changed when he looked at Liu Meilan.
According to Liu Meilan's judgment, this big turtle is already three hundred years old.
Its huge size and the long three hundred years have given it a bit more wisdom.
When everyone saw the piece of glass in Liu Meilan's hand, they sighed.
Sister Zhao patted the big turtle on the back and said, "You, don't be greedy next time! When you eat, you must watch carefully."
The big turtle seemed to understand what was said and actually nodded.
Sister Zhao was shocked. "Meilan, did you see that? It seems to understand what I say."
Liu Meilan smiled happily, "Sister Zhao, this big turtle is not young. From what I can judge, it is probably three hundred years old. It is said that people become wiser as they age. The longer the turtle lives, the more it can understand. It may not understand what we say, but it may feel our kindness."
Sister Zhao agreed, "That's true. But Meilan, you are really strong. You can actually lift such a big turtle."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I don't have any other advantages, except that I'm very strong."
Sister Zhao quickly shook her head, "Meilan, don't be so modest. You are full of advantages."
"Yes, yes, yes!" others echoed.
Liu Meilan and Sister Zhao carried the big turtle. "Now that you have recovered, let's go. If I see you next time, I will call you Da Huang."
This turtle is brown in color. Liu Meilan didn’t know how to come up with a nice name, so she gave it a name based on its color.
The big turtle swam around in the sea and even nodded before diving into the sea.
Seeing that the big turtles had left, everyone started sorting the seafood.
Zhao Gang's eyes were a little red and he was smoking to refresh himself. When he saw Liu Meilan come in, he quickly put out the cigarette and opened the window for ventilation.
"Captain Meilan, I was too sleepy, so I just smoked a cigarette. I won't do it again next time." Zhao Gang hurriedly explained, not wanting Captain Meilan to misunderstand her.
Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, if you feel sleepy, you can smoke, but you must be sure to stub out the cigarette butt before putting it in the trash can."
Zhao Gang smiled and poured some water on the stubbed cigarette butt with a cup, "I promise it's extinguished."
"That's good." Liu Meilan smiled. "When Uncle Chen comes on board, we can replace each other, and that will be much better."
Zhao Gang sighed, "I didn't expect Brother Chen to be cheated so badly this time. We didn't sign a contract, but he and Wang Dahai did. That son of a bitch is a piece of shit, and his uncle is even worse."
"He's like a Maitreya Buddha on weekdays, but I didn't expect him to have such a dark heart. The contract that Brother Chen signed while drunk is the darkest I've ever seen."
Liu Meilan was surprised, "How dark is it?"
Zhao Gang replied: "The contract is for twenty years..."
When Liu Meilan finished listening to Zhao Gang's narration, her mouth opened slightly in surprise.
"Oh my god, how can this be an employment contract? This is clearly a contract of sale, and the key is that it does not provide basic salary. What if the Wang family does not buy a boat? Can Uncle Chen never go somewhere else to work?"
Zhao Gang smiled bitterly, "Yes, who would sign such a contract if they were sane? No wonder people used to say that drinking would cause trouble, it's true."
Liu Meilan pondered for a moment, "Such a contract is not reasonable in the first place. Before going out to sea this time, I asked Manager Tang to find Uncle Chen. Xiaoyu will definitely find a lawyer to help Uncle Chen with the lawsuit after reading the contract. Don't worry, Uncle Chen should be able to handle it."
Zhao Gang's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Can the contract really be terminated? The penalty for breach of contract is one million!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "It should be possible. There are problems with this contract. It can be solved through legal means!"
Zhao Gang finally smiled happily after hearing this. "That's good! Uncle Chen is a good man. The accident that day was not his fault! That Wang Dahai doesn't understand. He gave orders blindly!"
"The terrain of the reef was very complex at the time, and Uncle Chen kept trying to dissuade him, but he thought that the more complex the terrain, the more fish there would be. He also said that Uncle Chen had great skills and he believed he could do it."
"The wind and waves and fog were very heavy that day. Uncle Chen felt it was very dangerous and didn't want to go forward. He was going to find a place to stop the boat. But Wang Dahai actually grabbed the rudder. It didn't matter that he crashed directly into the reef."
"If the lawsuit requires us to testify, Captain Meilan, I will ask for leave at that time. I want to testify for Uncle Chen and resolutely cannot let Wang Ba Pi exploit Uncle Chen."
Liu Meilan nodded and agreed, "Of course, I'm even willing to let Xiaoyu come forward and prove in the name of the company how much an experienced captain like Uncle Chen earns per year."
"There is something wrong with Wang Dahai's employment contract, and it can definitely be invalidated. If Wang Dahai cannot afford such an income, it can further prove that there is something wrong with the employment contract. Our company respects talents very much."
Zhao Gang scratched his head and chuckled, "We are all rough guys, we are not talented!"
Liu Meilan didn't take it seriously when she heard this. "There are 360 professions, and every profession has its top talents! People who are good at every profession are talents!"
"Experienced old captains like you and Uncle Chen are both talented and respected! Work hard on the ship in the future. I won't lose out to those who work hard with me!"
Zhao Gang nodded heavily, "Captain Meilan, as long as you don't drive us away, we will definitely not leave and will work until retirement."
Liu Meilan smiled. "As long as you don't make mistakes and work hard, I won't fire you as long as my seafood fishing company is here! Go take a nap, we'll be there at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Zhao Gang was more convinced of Liu Meilan, "Okay!"
Liu Meilan replaced Zhao Gang, took the helm and continued to sail towards where there were many fish.
Two more nets were cast during the night, leaving some space on the deck.
At the boatman's strong request, continue trawling.
It's five in the morning now, so we're closer to the shore.
Since everyone requested this, Liu Meilan let Tang Changping continue to play.
An hour and a half later, the net was started.
Along with the fish in the fishing net, a big fish also fell out.
There was a loud "plop" sound, and everyone thought that the big turtle was causing trouble again.
Liu Meilan, in particular, was ready to teach the big turtle a lesson this time for wasting her fish like this.
Tang Changping was close by, and when he got closer to take a look, he stepped back in fear, saying in a terrified tone, "Oh my God! I'm scared to death!"
