Chapter 181
“Oh my god, how come the red tilapia is so big.”
Zhao Ping sighed and immediately threw away the reel to help Ah He, otherwise it would be difficult for him to catch it alone.
When the fish was lifted onto the deck, Zhao Qin’s hands were shaking. Damn, it was worth it even though it was tiring.
It was also a red tilapia, but the one Ah He just caught looked quite big when it was caught alone, after all, it weighed five or six pounds, but when it was placed next to this one, it looked like a grandson in an instant.
Zhao Ping picked up his cheeks and tried it, and he smacked his tongue several times, “It’s almost 30 kilograms, no wonder it’s so strong.”
“Brother, do you want to bleed it?”
“It’s not a deep-sea fish, so why bleed it? Besides, not all deep-sea fish need to be bled. Generally, it’s for those fish that swim fast and have a high blood content in their bodies.
Because the blood contains a high amount of oxygen, if it is not released and secreted into the fish meat, it will make the fish meat sour. The water depth here should not exceed 60 meters. Let’s throw it into the live tank first to see if it can be kept alive.”
As he said this, Zhao Ping opened the live tank cover and threw the fish in.
Zhao Qin really didn’t understand. Anyway, he saw a lot of videos of fishing in the sea and asked about bleeding when catching big fish.
Most fish have only 1.5% to 3% of their body weight in blood. When these fish die, the blood gathers in the gills, and they generally do not eat the gills, so there is no need to bleed them.
This is why the gills of many fish are bright red when they just die, then they turn black, and finally turn white under the flushing of water.
But tuna is different. Its blood may account for up to 20% of its body weight. The gills alone cannot drain the blood from the body, so it needs to be bled.
“Are you still fishing?” Zhao Ping asked.
“No, take a break. My arms are still shaking.”
The strength of sea fish is really no joke, not to mention such a big size, and it is a hand-thread. He admires his own strength for being able to pull it up.
When Zhao Ping heard that he was not fishing anymore, he tidied the reel, fished out a live shrimp from the cabin and hung it up, intending to do it himself.
“Brother, aren’t you sleepy?”
“Didn’t you say that you don’t need to sleep more when you’re alive? I’ll see if I can catch a big one.”
Knowing that he couldn’t persuade him, Zhao Qin stopped trying. He rested for a while and then got up to boil water, intending to make a cup of tea.
Drinking tea is not a habit he developed here. He liked it before.
After a while, Ah He caught another fish. He caught a stone nine-gong, which weighed half a pound. Damn, it was almost the same as a small red spot.
“Ah He, add a few pieces of tofu and it will be enough for a table of people.”
Ah He smiled and ignored Zhao Qin’s jokes. He was enjoying it at the moment.
Originally, he wanted to take a break, but the wind on the sea was not small today, and there was a sunscreen net on the boat. Although the waves were a bit noisy, if you get used to it, it can actually be used as a lullaby, so Zhao Qin fell asleep after a while.
This sleep lasted for more than an hour. When Zhao Ping woke him up, he was stunned for a while before he realized that he was on the boat.
“Almost, let’s collect the hooks. Let’s finish early today. What a pity, why didn’t we encounter a killer whale today.”
Zhao Qin turned over and rolled his eyes when he heard the second half of his brother’s words. How could yesterday’s good things happen every day? Besides, killer whales have a wide range of activities in the ocean, and it is impossible for them to stay in the same sea every day.
“Brother, did you catch anything?”
“Not bad, I caught two. Ah He was luckier and caught a seven or eight jin giant grouper.”
The scientific name of the giant grouper is the saddle-banded grouper, also known as the giant grouper. As the name suggests, this thing is the largest among groupers. I heard that fishermen have caught two or three hundred kilograms in the past.
Seven or eight kilograms can only be said to be a young fish, but Zhao Qin would not let Ah He release it. It can be sold for two or three hundred yuan.
And there are many of these things in breeding, so there is no worry about extinction.
Arriving at the longline fishing area, Zhao Qin’s first basket was strange today, as if he was fishing with red friends. He caught 27 fish in the first basket, half of which were red friends, with the big ones weighing 7-8 catties and the small ones weighing 2-3 kg.
The second basket was simply taken by Ah He, Zhao Ping arranged the line, and Zhao Qin drove the boat.
The income was not bad, and the third basket was taken by Zhao Ping again, with each of the three brothers holding a basket.
After the collection was completed, there were a lot of fish in the front and back live cabins, with the front filled with common fish and the back filled with valuable fish.
They returned to the dock at full speed, but it was earlier than yesterday. When the people on the dock saw them carrying a red friend weighing about 30 catties, it caused a sensation again, and several bosses even called out the price on the spot.
Zhao Qin still refused as he did yesterday.
The sea was open, and there were many people at the dock. Not only the town dock, but also their village dock was busy. After all, there were nearly 20 fishing boats in the village with more than 100 households, and some families even had two or three boats.
So it is impossible to keep a low profile like before. Zhao Qin also hasThe solution was all attributed to Xianlong Fisheries. No matter who asked, they all said it was Xianlong Fisheries’ boat.
“Aqin, I just have something to tell you.”
After all the fish were brought ashore, he was about to leave. Qian Kun, who had also just returned from going to sea, saw him and pulled him aside.
“Brother, you and Ahe go to the collection station first, and I will take care of the sanitation on the ship.”
After saying that, he looked at Qian Kun and said, “Mr. Qian, if you have anything to say, please tell me.”
“Mr. Ye and the others want to go sailing the day after tomorrow. My boat has been booked for a long time. The old customers can’t shirk it. I just thought about letting them book it for you for 1,500 yuan a day.”
“Okay, thank you Mr. Qian for taking care of me, but my boat is too slow. Will Mr. Ye and the others agree?”
Zhao Qin agreed without much hesitation. First, Qian Kun had helped him a lot, and he was told that he couldn’t shirk it, so he had to help him.
Secondly, Mr. Ye is also a good person. It won’t hurt to have more contact with such a boss and build a good relationship with him.
No matter how lucky he is the day after tomorrow, he will take this order.
“I should be grateful. Yesterday, your harvest caused a sensation in the whole dock. I have delayed your fortune.
As for the slow boat, it doesn’t matter. They just want to relax. When the time comes, we will take them fishing and cast two nets on the sea. You and I can rest assured that we will definitely make them return happy. ”
“Okay, if Mr. Ye agrees, just ask him to contact me directly.”
After finalizing the matter with Qian Kun, he returned to the boat, first docked it on the other side, and then cleaned the boat. Today, he did not cast a net or confiscate the ground cage. The deck was very clean, and even flushing could be saved.
After finishing it, I returned to the purchasing station. All the fish caught had been weighed and were waiting for him to come over to settle the accounts.
The big red fish actually weighed over 31 pounds. When Chen Dong heard that it was caught by hand fishing, he couldn’t help but give them a thumbs up.
The average red friend paid 28 yuan per catty, and the big red friends gave 40 yuan per catty. There were also two or three hundred catties of fish caught, with a total of more than 8,300 sold.
After paying the bill, the three of them rode a tricycle home.
Not long after arriving home, he met Lao Xing, who told him that people would be coming to town tomorrow, which was also the day when the new village cadres were officially elected.
