Chapter 393
As Zhao Qin ate the red pigtail in his mouth, he suddenly thought that he hadn’t tasted the golden pineapple from the previous website.
No, it can’t be missed. This is a huge disrespect to Jin Pineapple. Ah Chen was called to the wheelhouse through the loudspeaker.
“Go to the cold storage and get some golden pineapples, and we’ll have them for dinner tonight.”
Achen:……
He thought there was something wrong with Brother Aqin calling him here alone, but it turned out that he was still thinking about eating.
He smiled, agreed, turned around and walked to the cold storage.
After a while, Old Cat also came to the wheelhouse. It was completely dark. Even if he didn’t take the helm himself, he had to stand in the wheelhouse to feel at ease.
After all, except for him, everyone including Zhao Ping was driving without a license.
Zhao Qin also thought about this and planned to change his certificate after the Chinese New Year. Then he would see if he could pay for Brother Zhuzi to get a certificate as well.
Through the long chat last night, he found that Brother Zhuzhu was gentle, steady, and not eager for quick success. This kind of temperament was very suitable for him to become the captain of his next ship.
“Brother Cat, since this time we are here, we should rest until dawn as usual.”
Old Mao nodded. Most fishing boats operating outside work fifteen or six hours a day. What is different from this boat is that when other fishing boats are operating,
The sailors were required to observe around the ship and were not allowed to rest. However, they were allowed to take a nap between pulling the net.
“Then let’s drag this net a little longer and close it around 12:30.”
“Okay, close the net, you can have a drink with me and have a good night’s sleep.”
Hearing that there was wine to drink, the old cat’s throat rolled a little, and he was so happy.
Zhao Qin heard a cry of exclamation from outside. He stood up and took a look through the glass. He saw his eldest brother in the middle holding a copy of the website, and several other people gathered around him, talking and laughing.
The old cat went out of the cabin to take a look, then came back and said with a smile: “I was fishing for fish. Aping caught a five or six kilogram yellow-eye belt.”
After a while, everyone was holding a net, and exclamations came from time to time. Because of the light, a group of Balang fish gathered around the side of the boat.
Balang fish is a local name. Its scientific name is blue round trevally. It belongs to the horse mackerel genus under the family Trevallyidae. It moves in groups and has strong phototaxis.
Compared with other fish, which are more expensive in the wild than farmed, this fish is just the opposite. The farmed fish may be sold for more than 20 yuan per catty, but the wild one is only sold for 4 or 5 yuan.
Firstly, wild fish are common and easy to catch. Secondly, wild fish have a large amount of activity, low oil reserves in fish meat, and taste very bad.
However, the farmed ones have sufficient feed and a small range of activities. The fish meat is fatter and tastes more tender.
This fish is a small fish in the sea. It is generally only ten centimeters in length and weighs about two or three taels. If it weighs more than half a catty, it is considered a big fish.
Balang fish.
Zhao Qin looked over for a while and saw that the school of fish was really quite big. Every time he netted, he could catch three to four kilograms.
As if he felt that the fishing was not enough, Zhao Ping also took out the throwing net.
This net was taken from a small boat. At that time, I thought that if I encountered cargo on the sea, there would be a net that would not blind me, so I brought it to the big ship.
“Brother, catch less. Our cabin space is limited, so we have to save it for valuables.”
Seeing the excitement on his elder brother’s face, Zhao Qin immediately poured a basin of cold water on him through the loudspeaker.
Zhao Pingli’s hand paused, “Yes, if you catch too much, what will you do if you catch more fish and have no place to store them?”
In his mind, he was still stuck in the idea of working in a small boat before, and he would go home after fishing. But it was different now. It was more than ten hours’ journey from home, not to mention the fuel consumption for the round trip.
The delay was too great.
I was depressed, seeing that I couldn’t catch the fish, and finally I became a person who doesn’t take advantage of the opportunity.
Putting the net away, others heard that enough was enough. Each person only had to catch a few dozen kilograms of salted fish to take home and pickle.
Zhao Qin is not an alarmist. During the previous three-day trip, he caught nearly 30 tons of fish. This time, after seven days, he was really worried about whether the cabin would explode.
This trip has already caught nine nets, and there are about 20 tons of marine cargo. It has only been less than three days, and there are still more than three days of operation time.
“Oh, I’m afraid the cabin won’t fit. This is probably the dream of all fishing boats.” The old cat smiled and shook his head.
“Brother Cat, if the first two nets hadn’t hauled in valuables such as groupers and nine-segmented shrimps, I estimate there would have been 30 tons by now.”
The two were chatting and laughing. Zhao Qin looked at the time and saw that he had just turned in the night. He opened the system and looked at his luck score. Today’s luck score was average, only 55 points.
But it doesn’t matter, just get more harvest from the old varieties.
It’s better to have another wave of big yellow croaker, that thing is so cool, you can easily get half a million in one net.
“It’s almost time to set up the net.” Old Cat said and walked out of the wheelhouse.
Now he no longer needs to do the work of setting up the Internet.Several young people would rush to do it every time.
As the net bag came up, Zhao Qin didn’t need to see it, just by listening to the sound, he knew that the harvest was not bad.
When Zhao Ping opened the net bag, the deck was covered with red again. Strange, today, it seemed that all the red fish were dried, first the golden pineapple, then the red carp.
He couldn’t see what fish it was, but he saw people on the deck laughing. He finally couldn’t help but left the rudder cabin and rushed to take a closer look.
Very good, it’s another red carp. This thing is not cheap, and this net is more than two tons, 200,000 yuan is not a loss.
He ran back to the rudder room again, marked it on the GPS, and began to look for nearby islands.
40 minutes later, he asked people to throw the anchor into the water through the horn, and then he turned off the engine, and his ears were a little quieter.
Some people say that fishermen speak loudly. There are reasons for this. First, it is a habit. When they open their mouths on the boat, they shout. Second, the long-term noise of the machine will damage the ear nerves.
Some people with hearing loss are normal, so they don’t feel the sound of their mouths is loud.
Just like now, even if the engine is turned off, the generator is still working, and there is still noise.
Came to the deck and helped everyone, “Achen, cook supper. You don’t need to make staple food. Just steam some fish soup and cook instant noodles directly.”
“I’ll do it.” Xia Shouzhu rushed to get up.
“No, I’ll do it.” Achen remembered Zhao Qin’s instructions to steam a few golden pineapples to eat.
The size of the red carp is about the same as the last net, so it is very fast to sort it out, but it takes a little time to carry it to the cabin.
First, you have to know how to stack it. Second, there are more than two tons, and they need to be handed down one by one.
When I finished, it was almost two o’clock.
The food had already been prepared. Zhao Qin took out two bottles of wine and handed them to his elder brother, asking him to distribute them. Two bottles is enough. Don’t drink too much. You have to do homework at dawn.
He didn’t drink it himself. He took a plate of steamed golden pineapple and a bowl of instant noodles and sat at the bow to eat.
He tasted it and it was not bad, but there was no surprise. It did have a little smell of yellow croaker, but the meat fiber was coarser than that of yellow croaker. It was still not as delicious as the red croaker before.
It was even more incomparable with pomfret.
But this thing looks festive and beautiful, and it is a deep-sea fish with a high fat content, so it has such a good price.
He didn’t finish one, mainly because it was too greasy.
After eating, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and came to the steering room.
He slept well in the afternoon. He planned to keep watch tonight. After a while, Xia Shouzhu also came.
“Brother Zhuzi, didn’t you drink a cup?”
“I don’t drink much. I’ll get drunk after two cups.”
Zhao Qin smiled, knowing that he was lying. Zhuzi should be able to drink a lot, but due to his personality, he didn’t touch the cup.
