Chapter 299
It was also strange. Maybe it was due to the orientation problem. The three of them failed to catch the fish with their fishing rods, but Zhao Qin was actually too busy with his hand wire.
Ah He put down the pole in his hand, squatted down and helped Zhao Qin put the bait together.
It was as if there were fish all over the bottom, just waiting for the hook with their mouths open. Zhao Qin only had to throw the line down, and he would hit the fish almost as soon as the line reached the bottom. Moreover, they were all big Shi Jiugong, and most of them were flying in doubles.
Ah He felt a little behind when it came to baiting. Ah Chen also put down his rod and was responsible for unhooking Zhao Qin.
The three of them quickly formed an assembly line operation. Zhao Qin took in and out the line, Ah Chen unhooked the hook and threw it to Ah He to hang the bait. Zhao Qin then threw it into the water, and then pulled it up to untie the fish.
Zhao Ping was really not calm anymore. After thinking about it, he moved his fishing rod next to the thread in Zhao Qin’s hand.
“Brother, don’t mess around.”
“You haven’t made a nest yet. It doesn’t matter how busy you are. I’ll help you share the load.”
However, what made Zhao Ping depressed was that his fishing rod seemed to be cursed, and no fish bit the hook. Even when he was thrown together with Zhao Qin’s hand bait, there was still no mouth, which was a shame.
Zhao Qin, on the other hand, is still very busy, his hands are almost non-stop. After all, there are three sets of hand silk. After collecting one, the next one will be connected.
“Aqin, are you tired?”
“It’s okay. Brother, if you don’t have anything to say, just take a break. I’m having a great time.”
Zhao Qin still didn’t understand what his elder brother meant, but he didn’t dare to change hands. Normally, the elder brother should be able to catch fish by sharing his lucky value, but at this moment he couldn’t explain why.
After pulling wildly for an hour, he finally couldn’t stand it anymore and switched to his older brother. The result was that he still hit fish frequently, which made him feel a little relieved.
After pulling wildly for more than an hour, the fish slowed down and gradually lost its mouth.
There was no visible harvest, because all the fish caught were thrown into the live cabin. However, Zhao Ping made a rough estimate and found that it should weigh about seventy kilograms.
The main thing is to weigh the fish. If it is small, it is estimated that it weighs twenty or thirty pounds.
Even if it is 40 per pound, these are still worth two to three thousand yuan. After removing the cost, they can make a net profit of two thousand yuan when they go back now. This means that they have a guarantee for this trip to sea. The four of them are certainly in a good mood.
After checking the time, it was still more than half an hour before the time for longline fishing was set. Zhao Qin asked Ah He to boil a pot of water and make a cup of tea.
He came to the bow of the boat holding a fishing rod and fished casually.
Zhao Ping and Ah Chen were killing fish, and some of them swallowed their stomachs. In order not to change the hook, they pulled the hook out directly, which injured their internal organs and they were dead now. They just killed them for dinner in the evening.
“Brother, Uncle Luo and the others are here.”
Zhao Qin saw a ship approaching in the distance. Although he couldn’t see the person clearly, it must be Lao Luo and the others. As expected, when he got closer, he found that it was really them.
“Aqin, I didn’t know you would be here today, otherwise we would have arranged to come together. Only when I saw that the floating ball tied was from your boat did I know that you were here too.”
“Uncle Luo, how about the trawl net?”
“The weather is too cold and the trawler’s harvest is not good, so we just want to make up for the fuel costs of the round trip. The main thing is to see the harvest of the sticky net.”
“Do you have a cup? There is tea on the ship, come and drink some.”
Lao Luo was not polite and asked his brother to watch the boat while he jumped into Zhao Qin’s boat.
“Aqin, we plan to spend the night here tonight. Finally, we have good weather. We can set up the net one more time during the night.”
“What a coincidence, Uncle Luo, we think so too.”
“Hey, that’s great. Did you bring enough food?”
“It’s a temporary decision. It’s okay. If you have a net, there will be fish. Just eat fish all day tomorrow.”
Lao Luo asked him to wait a moment, then jumped back into his boat. After a while, he loaded a basin with rice and said, “I put half a bag on the boat. This is enough for you. Do you have it on the oil and salt boat?”
“There is no shortage of those, thank you, Uncle Luo.”
“Why are you so polite? How do you plan to set up the network at night?”
“In this way, now we will release the nets one to the east and the other to the west. After we close the nets in the evening, we will release the nets one to the south and the other to the north. It doesn’t matter how we release them tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, then I’ll put it in the north.”
After deciding the time to go back tomorrow, after chatting for a while, everyone was busy, and Lao Luo sailed away again.
“Aqin, it’s almost time, let’s collect the fishing hook first.”
“Okay, big brother, you come and sail the boat.”
Arriving at the longline fishing waters, Zhao Qin hooked up to the buoy and started to reel in the line. Normally Ah Chen would be quite cramped at this time, because he was the only one idle, and since there were only three people to reel in the hook, one more person couldn’t help. .
Longline fishing is now useless to them, and the harvest is not good, but occasionally they can catch good fish, so they are not willing to give up completely.
Just like now, all ten consecutive hooks are empty, and even Zhao Qin’s real-time lucky value of 63 points today can’t save him.
“Brother, it seems that longline fishing is really not done.”He’s caught the fish.” Just as he finished speaking, he felt the vibration on the main line, and it looked like the fish was not small.
After another empty hook, the fish was pulled up.
“Brother, it’s a big three-knife.”
Zhao Qin also saw it, and he was quite surprised at the moment, “Fuck, how can this one be so big?”
Zhao Ping didn’t hear it clearly, ran to the deck to take a look, and was immediately overjoyed, “Good fish, with this one, our longline fishing will not be in vain. ”
Zhao Qin also thought so. This fish weighed at least 7-8 catties, and this fish alone was worth more than 1,000 yuan. The bait for longline fishing would cost at most 30-50 yuan. With this calculation, he would definitely make a lot of money.
However, this idea did not last long, because the next hooks were almost all empty, but a white croaker and a red sea bream were caught at the end of this basket of hooks.
For the second basket of hooks, Zhao Qin simply asked Achen to pull them. The boy was already impatient.
As a result, he had just started to pull the fish and he actually started to pull the river.
“Achen, how do you feel?” Zhao Qin smiled when he saw his serious face.
“Brother Aqin, it feels like pulling a stone, it’s so heavy, start to exert force.” During this period, Achen talked a lot more, and occasionally took the initiative to start a conversation, which was a welcome change.
When Zhao Qin heard it, he immediately walked to the side to guide, “Don’t worry, it should be a grouper. ”
Then he gestured to his elder brother to release the accelerator. Zhao Ping had already noticed something unusual. Seeing the gesture, he simply walked closer, “What fish?”
“I don’t know, I’m still struggling.”
It took five or six minutes for Achen to slowly reel in the line. The water was deep and it was very difficult to pull. From Achen’s clenched cheeks, it can be seen that he also put a lot of effort.
When the fish was pulled out of the water, the four people on the boat were all excited.
“Sailin’s mother, Achen, your luck is too good.” Ahe exclaimed.
“Ahe, Sailin’s mother, you scolded me first.”
“No, I scolded…, you scolded me too, we are even. ”
Zhao Qin was also quite surprised. Seeing the two boys joking, he took out the scoop net and scooped up the fish first. Zhao Ping was already looking for the deflation needle in the toolbox.
Hearing Achen’s description, Zhao Qin was sure it was a grouper, but he didn’t expect it to be a red grouper, and judging from its size, it should be more than 20 kilograms.
“Brother Aqin, is this fish good?” Achen asked.
“You are lucky. This one should be worth more than 10,000 yuan. It is a top-notch fish.”
When he heard that it was valuable, Achen also showed a smile on his face. Although he could only get 100 yuan out of 10,000 yuan, it also reflected his value on this ship.
