Chapter 285
Early in the morning, when the alarm rang, Zhao Qin didn’t want to get up.
Damn, I can’t rest. The more I rest, the lazier I get. I struggled to get up, washed up quietly, and found that there was a noise coming from my father’s room.
“Dad, why did you get up so early?”
“I can’t sleep, so I got up and walked around. You do your own thing.”
Zhao Qin didn’t say anything more. The early morning time is more precious. I was in a hurry to go out to sea.
When I came to my eldest brother’s house, it turned out that my eldest brother had left. “Your brother went to the collection station to install the net first, and he also rode the tricycle. Ah He followed, and you can ride the motorcycle.”
Zhao Qin was a little embarrassed. It turned out that he was the last one to get up. Xia Rong looked at his face and smiled again: “Your eldest brother is like this. He knew that he was going out to sea today, and he wanted to get up at twelve o’clock.”
“Okay, sister-in-law, I’ll go first.”
He drove away directly in his own car. Why ride a two-wheeled car when there is a four-wheeled one?
Arriving at the purchasing station, Chen Dong looked at him and laughed, “You are the first person I saw driving a car to buy fish.”
“It’s just a tool. If you treat it as a treasure, you’re just going to give up the main thing. If it breaks, we can buy another one. It’s not like we don’t have the conditions.”
Chen Dong laughed and raised his hand to point at him, “You really follow Uncle Zhao in saying this.”
Just then, Zhao Ping and Zhao Jiachen came to return the tricycle on a tricycle. When they saw him driving a car, their faces twitched, but they didn’t say anything else, mainly because it was useless to say anything.
“Let’s go.”
Zhao Qin nodded, threw the key to Chen Dong, and parked the car at his doorstep, so that he could move it if he got in the way.
After getting on the boat, Zhao Qin drove the boat. Because of Achen’s joining, he didn’t have to do things like hanging bait now. Achen and Ahe cooperated well.
And because there was only one day of good weather today, there was no way to put the ground trap, only the bait for longline fishing, and the two of them finished it in a short while.
“Aqin, should we put it in the old place today?”
Zhao Qin instinctively wanted to nod, but he still opened the system panel to take a look. Today’s luck value was also very good, with 72 points.
“Brother, how about we find a deeper place to put it? I feel that the deeper the place, the bigger the fish may be.”
“The waters of Lobster Island and Cave Island are already deep enough. If we want to go deeper, we have to go farther… By the way, there is a deeper area to the east, estimated to be 70 or 80 meters, but the sticky net is generally not put that deep.”
“Let’s give it a try.” Zhao Qin likes to toss and turn, and every time he tosses and turns, he will get unexpected gains.
“When the sticky net can’t be collected, you don’t have to toss and turn.” Zhao Ping said this, but he obviously agreed.
“We will put five nets, and we will put the remaining 20 nets near Lobster Island.”
“It’s up to you. You can try to put only five. Then let’s go to Cave Island first and put the longline fishing down.”
Zhao Qin hummed lightly. He was going in the direction of that direction, so he didn’t even need to adjust the rudder.
“Ah Chen, what have you been doing at home these two days?” Ah He asked.
“I’m doing odd jobs at the dock, 50 yuan a day.”
“Oh my god, you’re so hardworking, it must be hard work.”
Ah Chen glanced at Ah He, and after a while he said, “Let’s not force a conversation.”
Ah He: …
After a while they arrived at the waters, Zhao Ping took over the boat, Zhao Qin and Ah He cast the hook, and Ah Chen started to make breakfast.
“Ah Chen, you and Ah He go to take a boat license exam someday, I’ll pay for it. It’s best if the four of us can all drive a boat, and we will definitely have more and more boats in the future. When you are trained, each of you will be responsible for one boat.”
“Okay, Brother Ah Qin.”
After the basket was hooked, Zhao Qin took out a cigarette and lit it, thought about it and gave another one to Ah Chen, who hesitated and took it.
“Don’t smoke too much. I fooled you before. Smoke one occasionally to relieve boredom.”
“I know. Let’s eat.”
Zhao Ping asked the three to eat first, and he drove the boat to the direction of Lobster Island. “Do you really leave five nets?”
“Let’s try it.”
Zhao Ping said nothing more, and asked Zhao Qin to drive the boat. He started to cast the nets himself. After a while, he took over the rudder again and went to the place that was a little deep.
It’s not that there are no deeper places nearby, some of which are more than 100 meters deep, but they are not familiar with the terrain below, so they dare not operate rashly. Besides, it’s not good to stick the net too deep.
There are almost no people working like them in the whole sea area.
Although the trawlers are always moving, they usually circle a sea area. After all, they are the only ones in the whole sea area who use two kinds of fishing gear at the same time and drive the boat around.
Fortunately, they have a good harvest, so the fuel cost can be ignored, otherwise the fuel cost will not be enough.
“Brother, why haven’t you seen Hu Zi for a while?”
“How should I know? Do you really think I raised him?”
“I just wanted to let Achen see it. I told him but he didn’t believe it.”
“I didn’t disbelieve it.”
“Okay, stop teasing Ah Chen all the time and come over to work. “With the help of the two of them, Zhao Qin lengthened the floating rope of the net and moved it to the deck. As long as the elder brother gives the order, he can launch the charge… ah, the net can be released.
“right here.”
Zhao Qin took a look around and found that there was no obvious reference object and asked curiously: “Brother, how do you remember the location?”
Zhao Ping pointed to the distance, “Have you seen the exposed reef? You will see it more clearly when the tide goes out. Two ships sank there, so I remember it more clearly.”
Zhao Qin stopped talking and started to lower the nets. The five nets were only 400 meters long. They were all lowered quickly. He checked the time at 11 o’clock. He had been sailing all morning and had very little time for actual operations.
“Brother, let’s catch some fish on the reef over there. Let’s put this side away first at three o’clock, so we don’t have to go back and forth.”
“Okay. But you can’t get past that reef. There are many reefs on the side. If we go a little further east, there will be an island.”
When they arrived at the place, Zhao Qin wanted to give his fishing rod to Ah Chen, but the other party shook his head and said, “Brother Ah Qin, you can fish. I’ll take a look first. I don’t know how.”
“Have you ever fished in fresh water?”
Seeing Ah Chen nod, Zhao Qin gave him the pole, “It’s similar to freshwater fishing. You hold it and I’ll teach you. We usually fish at the bottom. You hang the bait first to find the bottom. After about touching the bottom, you reel in the line a few times. Four Just five meters is enough.”
The three of them were fishing, and Zhao Qin didn’t bother to take out the thread anymore. Anyway, the three of them shared the luck value of the system, so their luck wouldn’t be too bad.
He planned to lie down and squint for a while, but as soon as he lay down, Zhao Ping caught the fish, which looked quite strong.
He wanted to see what kind of fish his elder brother was catching, but he didn’t want to get up. The deck was very hard, and he was also covered in bones. It was too uncomfortable to sleep on his side. Seeing his elder brother frantically reeling in the line, he couldn’t help but sit up.
“Hey, it’s just a life of poverty.” He sighed.
While Zhao Ping was reeling in the thread, he looked back at him and gave him a look to let him understand.
“Brother, what kind of fish is it?”
“Why is it getting lighter and lighter before it comes out of the water?”
The next moment the fish was pulled out of the water, and when they saw the situation, the four of them were stunned. It didn’t matter whether the fish was good or not, the key was that only half of it was left.
A bass weighed about five or six pounds, but only the head and half of the body were left, and the lower part of the fish’s belly was bitten by something.
“Damn it, it must be Sea Wolf.” Zhao Ping cursed, the fish worth more than 100 yuan is now worthless.
It was also the first time for Zhao Qin to see that the caught fish was cut off by other fish halfway. Looking at the fish’s broken mouth, he couldn’t help but think about how powerful the sea wolf’s teeth were.
