Chapter 304
Ah He and Ah Chen also joined the fishing team. They really caught a lot of fish. Almost all of them were golden perch. Each of them caught three or four, which weighed nearly 100 kilograms in total.
“Stop fishing and come to eat.”
Zhao Qin urged while serving rice and eating. When he had almost finished eating, the three of them reluctantly put away their fishing rods.
After eating, Zhao Qin turned on the engine to reel in the anchor and set sail. He had to go to the other side to inform Lao Luo and his team to collect the nets.
After going around the island, Lao Luo and his team’s boat stopped at the north side of the island. The two happened to be eating, so Zhao Qin pulled the boat over.
“Uncle Luo, how was the early morning wave?” In fact, there was no need to ask. Seeing the smile on Lao Luo’s face, you know that they had a good harvest this time.
“Haha, it’s not bad. I caught about 200 kilograms of small croakers and about 100 kilograms of golden pomfret. Together with what I caught last night, I made a small fortune.”
“Oh, that’s really a fortune. Uncle Luo, I plan to collect the nets and go home early after collecting the nets. If you don’t want to go so early, we can only leave first.”
“Then let’s go together?”
“Sure, if you want to collect, you can collect it an hour later. We have nearly ten nets, and it will take time to go back from here.”
“Okay, let’s go back together then. Aqin, can I go to the town dock with you to sell it? It’s too conspicuous at the village dock.”
“Okay, let’s say that.”
After both sides confirmed it, Zhao Qin stepped on the accelerator again and drove to where he put the net.
“I hope I can have good luck and catch a few hundred kilograms of small croakers.” Zhao Ping muttered to himself, and he muttered beside Zhao Qin, clearly wanting him to hear.
“Brother, you are afraid that Lao Luo and his friends will get more than us.”
Zhao Ping’s face turned red when he was exposed.
It is human nature. After all, it was his boat that brought them to this place. After all the trouble, he still didn’t get as much as the other party. He would feel a little unbalanced.
You eat meat, so you don’t mind sharing some soup with others, or a small amount of meat, but you will definitely feel unhappy if you find that the other party gets more meat than you.
“Brother, don’t worry, they won’t have more than us. We have 25 nets, they only have 20, no, they lost a few and didn’t replenish them, so they only have 17 nets.
If they only collect once, they may surpass us, but three cycles means we have 24 more nets, how can they have more than us.”
“That’s hard to say, more nets and more harvests are not absolute, we have 200 hooks, and sometimes we can harvest more than their 1,000 hooks.”
“That just shows that we are luckier, and we still have thousands of kilograms of anchovies, and that big red grouper, I don’t believe they have it too.”
Zhao Ping sighed, “I’m not a jealous person, the main thing is that there are four people on our boat, and there are only two people on their boat, it would be embarrassing if the harvest is not as good as theirs.”
Zhao Qin smiled, feeling embarrassed and jealous, not to mention brother, if Lao Luo really collected more than him, he would also be jealous and unhappy.
I allow you to live well, but I don’t allow you to live better than me. People all have similar mentality.
When they arrived at the place where the net was cast, Zhao Qin made way for Ah He to start, and he began to collect the net. Now everyone on the boat has formed a tacit understanding. Whenever the net is collected or the hook is collected, it must be him who starts.
The buoy was salvaged, and the fish came up in a moment. At first, it was a small peeling fish. This fish is quite expensive, so everyone is naturally happy.
However, before the net was fully collected, a golden eye perch weighing five or six kilograms came up, and there were almost no small peeling fish afterwards. All the fish caught in the net were golden eye perch, and each one was bigger than the other.
Several people were all happy. Although this fish was not as valuable as the small peeling fish, it was big. The smallest one weighed two or three kilograms, and the big one weighed more than ten kilograms. One fish was worth one or two hundred yuan.
Of course, the big fish was also strong, so the fishing net was tangled again. Zhao Qin had to slow down again, and Ah He also jumped onto the deck to help untie the fish.
“Fuck, it’s stuck.” Zhao Qin saw a fish about to fall from the net, so he untied it and threw it into the basket. As a result, he looked up and found that the net was stuck.
He hurried to the winch and found a big fish behind the machine. The gap of the machine was too small for the big fish to get through.
“Ah Qin, what’s wrong?” Zhao Ping couldn’t see clearly because the machine was blocking him, so he asked.
“Brother, the big fish is stuck.” Zhao Qin said as he took the net off the winch, thinking of pulling it with his hands for a while, but found that he couldn’t pull it at all.
“Oh my God, it must be more than 30 kilograms.” Zhao Ping exclaimed and helped him pull. The two finally pulled the net up three or four meters. Zhao Qin asked his brother to hold the fish.
He hung the net on the winch again and shouted to Ah He, “Turn the rudder to the left, it’s off the track.”
A Chen looked at the fish Zhao Ping was holding and stared at him.Eyes, “Brother Aping, it’s so big.”
“Well, I heard that this thing can weigh more than 200 kilograms, but I’ve never seen it before. The largest one I’ve seen weighs more than 70 kilograms, just like a pig.”
Ah Chen helped and untied the fish. As expected, several holes were knocked out of this part of the net. Fortunately, the damage was not serious. It can still be used after spending some time repairing it when not out at sea.
“Brother, help, damn, there’s a bigger one.”
Zhao Ping had not untied the tail yet, so he had to leave it to Ah Chen to untie it. He ran to the bow of the boat to help again. This time it took a lot of effort for both of them to pull it.
“Damn it, it’s even bigger.” Ah Chen also said the quintessence of Chinese culture in surprise.
This tail weighed at least fifty or sixty pounds, and it was difficult for one person to hold it. The net in this section was completely useless, and it was all smashed into pieces and tangled together.
Two big fish came on board one after another, just like dividing the water. None of the fish caught next was less than ten kilograms. They were quite average in size, most of them weighing thirteen or four kilograms.
This kind of fish is carnivorous and very vicious. No wonder there are no other fish in this sea area. With this thing here, other fish can’t escape before it can escape.
Everyone’s movements are getting faster and faster, and the fish will naturally not be dense. A net can catch ten fish, which is more than a hundred kilograms.
Compared with the sticky nets used in fresh water, the sea sticky net has thicker wire and higher net. It is still not stressful to deal with fish weighing more than ten kilograms. The entire deck is full of fish that have not had time to be stored in the warehouse.
Zhao Qin looked back and was delighted. It was so enjoyable.
Regardless of whether they are valuable or not, they are all big items weighing more than ten kilograms, and they are fun to look at.
Zhao Ping untied the fish alone, while Ah He and Ah Chen began to put the fish into the warehouse. Before the last net came up, Ah Chen said to Zhao Ping: “Brother A Ping, the cabin is full.”
“It’s okay, there’s just a piece of net left.”
After collecting them all, Zhao Ping glanced at the cabin. He couldn’t get out at all. The fish had piled up to the hatch. The dozen or so fish behind him could only be placed in the mobile portable refrigerator, but they couldn’t fit at all.
The rest had to be put directly on the deck, and there was nothing we could do if it was really broken.
“go home.”
“Where are Lao Luo and the others?”
“The ship is here, let’s go.”
