Chapter 219
After transporting the things to the ship, Zhao Qin rode his bicycle to the purchasing station. What was strange today was that Chen Dong was not there in the morning. It was his wife who was looking after the door early in the morning.
“Sister, where is my Dong brother?”
“A few customers came yesterday, and he stayed with them until midnight and was still sleeping. If you have something to do, how about I call him?”
“Sister, no need. Let’s talk about it when I come back in the evening.” Zhao Qin took the two fishing rods and was about to leave when the other party stopped him again. “Aqin, you have got your big boat, are you missing anyone?”
“Sister, do you want to arrange people? My brother Dong has so many properties, where can’t we put a few people?”
“My cousin from the same family can endure hardships, but he is introverted and talks little. I thought about arranging to go to the construction site before, but the last time I went to see him, I found out that he was bullied all the time and he didn’t say anything.
Your brother Dong and I can’t keep an eye on you every day. He doesn’t talk much about the store, and he can’t be of much help. ”
“Sister, my salary is not that high, and you must be down-to-earth. If you can accept it, you can ask him to come over after the holidays and go out to sea a few times with you.”
“Okay, don’t tell your brother Dong before this is done, otherwise he will blame me for troubling you again.”
“What a big deal, I know.”
Zhao Qin agreed happily, but he had another plan in mind. It sounded like he was a bit defective, so he didn’t care. He would go to sea with him twice to see what he was doing.
Maybe the other person can’t bear the pain, but I don’t want to.
He came to the pier and jumped on the boat, “Brother, I’ll drive.”
“What did you do wrong today? Where did you get this excitement so early in the morning?”
“I dreamed about Mazu last night. She said that we can make a fortune by going to sea today.”
“Really?” Zhao Pingping looked suspicious.
“Brother Ping, no matter if it is real or fake, we will take it seriously.” Ah He said with a smile.
Zhao Qin smiled, and Ah He became able to talk.
Good day. The cages and hooks are all in the sea, so there is nothing to do early in the morning. Zhao Ping wants to put up the pot and cook breakfast. Because they leave early in the morning, they usually eat two meals on the boat.
However, when he put the pot on the induction cooker, he still looked at Zhao Qin and said, “How about I sail the boat and you cook it.”
“Brother, you should cook it.” Ahe also agreed.
Zhao Ping cooked it twice before, but he either forgot to add salt or added too much salt.
It was difficult for Zhao Qin to understand that his eldest brother was an all-around expert, but he couldn’t cook rice well and struggled to make noodles.
As a last resort, I had to switch places with my eldest brother, and he would cook the noodles.
There was a lot of fish soup, and the Dashan Dao was big enough. Zhao Qin estimated that his sister-in-law only kept a quarter of it, and most of it was brought to them.
He had never tried it with fish soup, but after taking a bite, the taste was, tsk tsk, rich and sweet, and the aroma could make a child cry.
The three of them each ate a full bowl.
After eating, they were almost at the longline fishing area. Zhao Qin didn’t know if his good luck today would be in the longline fishing area, so this time he did his best to be the first to reel in the line.
As a result, I received the puffer fish at the first end. It was quite big, weighing two or three pounds.
He cursed secretly and was about to unhook the fish and throw it away.
“What are you doing?” Zhao Ping saw that he was about to throw it away and quickly stopped him.
“Pufferfish, brother, you don’t want to keep it, do you? I didn’t hear that you can handle this, so we’d better not take the risk.” Zhao Qin finished his gesture and wanted to throw it away.
“Don’t move.” Zhao Ping reminded quickly, jumped off the bridge and walked closer to stop him.
“Brother…”
“This is a type of puffer fish, yes, but not only is this kind of puffer fish not poisonous, it’s also very expensive.”
Hearing that it was very expensive, not only Zhao Qin, but also Ah He’s eyes gleamed. He didn’t know that there was a puffer fish. “Brother Ping, what’s the name of this?”
“Have you ever heard of the air drum fish and the spiny abalone?”
“Oh, I’ve heard that fish skin is very expensive. My uncle gave it to me in the past and I even ate it.”
“Not only is the fish skin expensive, this fish is full of treasures and tastes good.”
Zhao Qin believed that the elder brother would not admit his mistake, so he threw the fish into the living cabin. Even if the elder brother was wrong, Chen Dong should be able to recognize it. If it is really not poisonous, he can take one back to try it. I haven’t eaten it yet.
Then I collected them. This basket of hooks was strange. They were all made of these hooks. I collected more than twenty hooks, and the largest one actually weighed more than ten kilograms.
Thinking about today’s luck, he did not change hands and collected the second basket. The first two hooks were empty. When the third hook came out of the water, it turned out to be a red spot. The three of them were overjoyed.
A magical thing happened again. Most of the hooks in this basket were actually red spots. With 50 hooks, 12 red spots were collected. The big ones were four or five kilograms and the small ones were about one kilogram. These fish alone are worth more than 10,000 yuan. .
The hook in the third basket is also very strange, and it matches the stoneThe bream was dried, and more than ten rock bream were caught. Most of them were larger than red snappers, and the largest one weighed almost ten kilograms.
“Aqin, it’s a good thing that you suggested leaving the hook overnight yesterday. If you leave it for a longer time, the catch will be different.”
“My brother said that Mazu came to him in a dream last night, and it seems to be true.” Ah He was also grinning. Not to mention the price of the first basket of spiny abalone, these two baskets alone are worth 20,000 yuan.
“Brother, seven or eight of them died, which is a big loss.” Zhao Qin was a little depressed. It would be great if they were all alive.
“Some of them may have been caught when the hook was put yesterday. It’s normal if they died. Even if they are alive, they are worth a lot of money.”
Zhao Qin didn’t say anything else, and simply collected the fourth basket in one go. The fish in this basket were very mixed, and there were many empty hooks. Seven or eight fish were caught, which was already very good for Zhao Ping and Ah He.
Ah He had no direct feelings yet, because he had been following Zhao Qin when he went out to sea, but Zhao Ping was different. He had followed other boats to go longline fishing before, and he was very lucky to be able to keep the frequency of the last basket of fish. Although there were only seven or eight fish, there were nearly 30 kilograms of fish. Twenty baskets would be more than 600 kilograms of fish. At an average of 20 yuan per kilogram, it would be more than 10,000 yuan in income. “Brother, turn around, let’s leave it here.” “Okay, you come to drive the boat and take a break, Ah He and I will hang the bait.” Zhao Ping still felt sorry for him, so he stepped out of the driving seat and walked down to help Ah He hang the bait. There were only 200 hooks in total, and what was hung were live shrimps, not earthworms that needed to be strung carefully, so it was done quickly. Zhao Qin opened the system panel while driving the boat. Today’s luck value was still 80 points, which meant that the previous two or three new species only consumed 11 points of luck value, and there was still a big head behind, could it be a ground trap? After putting down the longline, the three of them moved to the same spot where they had fished yesterday and continued fishing.
The harvest was not bad. After nearly three hours of fishing, the three of them caught nearly ten fish. Although they were not valuable, they were of good size.
“Brother, stop fishing. I’ll make lunch. Let’s go collect the hooks after lunch.” It was already around one o’clock. After lunch, they still had to collect the hooks and traps. There were a lot of things to do.
And he was sure that today’s good luck should not be due to fishing.
After lunch, as usual, there was a cup of tea and a cigarette. He had resisted smoking all morning, and this puff really made him feel like he was floating in the air.
When he arrived at the longline fishing site, Zhao Qin realized that something was wrong at a glance.
“Damn it, that bastard cut off another basket of hooks from us.” Ah He also found something wrong and immediately cursed.
The smile on Zhao Ping’s face also disappeared. He looked around the surrounding sea area and found that there were no fishing boats around.
“Okay, collect the three baskets first, and try to fish out the last basket with a fishing hook later.”
Just after Zhao Qing finished speaking, he glanced at the edge of the cave in the distance and found two white dots, which were not very clear. “Fuck, brother, our basket hook was dragged away.”
