Chapter 205: Blowing Round Island

An hour later, the two boats arrived at the waters near the island. Fortunately, there were no fishing boats operating there.

The two brothers drove the fishing boat around the island, but still did not find any fishing boats operating, so they planned to operate in this sea area.

The entire island is in an irregular arc shape, surrounded by rugged reefs and lush green trees. What surprised them was that there were many wild sea ducks living on it.

Chen Yongwei, who was not very nervous, said cheerfully: "Brother, even if we can't find a puddle on the island, it would be nice to pick up a few buckets of wild duck eggs."

The corners of Brother Li's lips twitched a few times. He felt that picking duck eggs on his maiden voyage was not so wonderful, but it took him an hour to find this place. If he went any further, he would have to go to farther sea areas.

Thinking that Ale has always had good luck, maybe he will get unexpected gains.

Li Changle said with a smile: "Awei, does this island look like a broken Chuiyuan? How about we call it Chuiyuan Island from now on?"

Chen Yongwei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it sounds good when playing Yuandao."

Brother Li rolled his eyes, "What a greedy cat! The name of the island he chose is either Mantou Island or Chuiyuan Island!"

Chen Yongwei said with a smile: "Brother, it's not all food, there is also a groove island. My brother is good at naming."

"..." Brother Li was once again speechless about Chen Yongwei, his brainless supporter.

Brother Li drove the fishing boat slowly towards the Rising Sun and gestured to Brother Li and Chen Yongwei, "An, Wei, come and cast the net!"

"Okay!" After the two jumped on board and released the trawl, Chen Yongwei jumped back to the Rising Sun and Li Changle waved at them, "Good luck, the boat is full of fish and shrimp!"

"Good luck, the cabin is full of fish and shrimp!" Second Brother Li also shouted and waved to the two of them, while Big Brother Li drove the fishing boat farther and farther away.

"Awei, it's time to get to work!" Li Changle walked to the driving seat and drove the fishing boat slowly forward. Chen Yongwei lowered the ground trap filled with bait and the longline fishing line with bait into the sea.

Before Chen Yongwei threw the jar with the pendant tied to it into the sea, he clasped his hands together and muttered something.

Li Changle drove the fishing boat towards Chuiyuan Island. The boat soon returned to the vicinity of Chuiyuan Island. He found a relatively flat location to dock.

The water level was very high, so the two men got off the boat carrying backpacks and buckets, and walked towards the island on the rocks. The frightened sea ducks screamed and flapped their wings to fly towards the sea.

The scientific name of sea duck is loon. Although it is also called duck, it is different from the ducks raised at home. Its beak is pointed and there are webbed feet between the three forward toes. It is good at diving but not good at flying and walking.

Li Changle looked at the wild sea ducks that refused to swim on the sea and felt that these guys must be scolding them, and in a particularly ugly way.

"Brother, wild sea ducks are much more delicious than the mallards at home. Let's cast a net later and catch some to stew in a pot." Chen Yongwei looked at the plump wild sea ducks with shining eyes and almost drooled.

Li Changle nodded, "Okay, as long as you can get it online, you can get as much as you want."

There are still a lot of wild sea ducks these days, and they have not yet been made into protected species, so they can be eaten at will.

As soon as he arrived on the island, Li Changle caught a large blue crab in a shallow pit, and also picked up a few oyster snails and two loquat snails.

The meat of this snail is quite delicious, but the shape of its shell is far inferior to that of the giant conch.

The two men walked upwards on the reefs. The reefs near the sea were covered with duck shit. It seemed that no one had come to the island to fish in the sea recently.

Li Changle felt that he could not guarantee whether the catch of other fish was large or not, but the wish of the wild duck eggs to be free should still be fulfilled.

"Fuck!" Chen Yongwei, who was walking in front, pointed at the duck eggs in the sand pits ahead and shouted excitedly, "Brother, look!"

"Haha, I knew it. Duck eggs are essential." Li Changle walked forward with the bucket. There were seven or eight duck eggs in the first sand pit.

He quickly put down the backpack, put all the fishing tools in the bucket into it, bent down to pick up the duck eggs and put them into the bucket, "Haha, others have a full cabin of fish and shrimp, but today we have a full cabin of duck eggs."

"Brother, a wild duck egg can be sold for ten cents, which is much more comfortable than catching green shrimps and mantis shrimps."

Li Changle felt that it was correct, so he bent down, grabbed two and put them in the bucket, earning another two dimes. As he walked along the way, wherever he found a sand nest, there would be more or less eggs in it.

Thinking about the wild sea duck eggs, the pickled salted duck eggs and preserved eggs, which taste much better than the eggs laid by the mallards at home, I decided to let Anan and Li's mother pickle them when I got home.

Chen Yongwei held a duck egg and looked at it in the sunlight. "Brother, do you think these eggs can hatch ducklings?"

Li Changle recalled that in his previous life, someone somewhere else had picked up wild duck eggs and brought them back to hatch and domesticate ducks, and it was said that he had made a lot of money.

"Why not? But you have to find a way to prevent it from flying away, otherwise it will be a waste of time!"

Chen Yongwei thought about it and felt that he was not good enough. "Forget it. I don't like being a duck commander. It's more comfortable to be on the boat."

By the time the two of them had finished picking up all the duck eggs on the beach, they had filled a backpack. Li Changle estimated that there were at least 150 eggs.

Chen Yongwei picked up the backpack and said, "Brother, I'll carry the duck eggs back to the boat first."

Li Changle nodded and walked forward with the bucket. After a few steps, he found two nests of duck eggs behind a large reef. There were still many more in the grass further up.

He suddenly felt that it should not be named Chuiyuan Island, but Wild Duck Island.

Considering the places where wild ducks roost, they are generally in places that are not flooded by the tide. It seems that if we want to find a puddle, we have to wait until the tide goes out.

When Chen Yongwei came over with the empty basket, he saw that he had picked up more than 20 duck eggs. "Brother, it seems that on this island, we can only pick duck eggs." Li Changle pointed to the duck eggs in front and said, "Fill this basket. Let's go back to the beach to check. If there is nothing left, we can go back and cast the net."

"Aren't you going to pick up so many duck eggs?" Chen Yongwei said with regret.

"Are you really planning to wipe out the whole family?" Li Changle looked at the ducks on the sea and said with a smile, "Picking up two baskets is enough. You've wiped out the whole human race. Be careful or the ducks will scold you."

Two baskets are enough. I can go back and pickle some salted duck eggs and make some preserved eggs, which will last me for a long time.

Chen Yongwei did whatever he was told.

The two of them picked up most of the backpack and walked back.

Li Changle went to the beach to look for a puddle. The reefs were full of spicy snails, oyster snails, cone snails, bamboo snails... and small abalone.

Li Changle picked up the bamboo snails, cone snails and oyster snails and put them in the bucket, which was almost half full, and then carried them back.

Not far away, I saw sea ducks on the sea flapping their wings and fleeing in all directions.

"This kid really did it."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the fishing boat, and sure enough, he saw Chen Yongwei standing on the boat collecting the nets.

Li Changle approached. He had already put away the second net. "How many did you catch?"

"Seven or eight." Chen Yongwei smiled and kicked the ducks tied with hemp ropes. "That's enough to eat. Save some for later."

"Yes, they've made them extinct. We won't be able to eat them anymore."

"Brother, let's go ahead and cast two nets, and then we can collect the longline fishing soon." Chen Yongwei said, "You're lucky, you cast the first net!"

Although he cast the two nets just now for ducks, he only caught a few small fish. He was too lazy to keep them and just threw them back into the sea.

"That's fine!" Li Changle put down the bucket, picked up the fishing net on the deck, and Chen Yongwei started the fishing boat and headed towards the deep sea.

Li Changle coiled the fishing net around his wrist as he walked, stood at the bow, and threw the fishing net forcefully onto the sea. After the net weight had completely sunk to the bottom of the sea, he waited for a while and then slowly pulled the fishing rope to retrieve the net.

As the fishing net was pulled closer, only a few small splashes of water were created, and the hands pulling the fishing net did not feel much weight. Li Changle shook his head at Chen Yongwei and quickened the speed of pulling the net.

"The fish catch is not good?"

"No!" Li Changle pulled the net out of the water, and suddenly came from inside a sound similar to the grunting of a piglet. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something very delicious, so he quickened the speed of pulling the net in.

Chen Yongwei looked at him in surprise, "Brother, why do I seem to hear piglets screaming?"

"It's the blowfish calling!"

"The puffer fish is just a pufferfish, it's poisonous and worthless, why are you so excited?"

"Some are poisonous, and some are not!" Li Changle pulled the net onto the deck, shook out the fishing net and started picking up fish.

There was a yellow croaker weighing one or two kilograms, a yellowfin fish, a sea bass, and then something that was bigger than a basketball and looked like a hedgehog.

Chen Yongwei laughed. "Fuck! There is such an ugly and huge pufffish!"

"Some people call this kind of blowfish abalone, while others call it sea cucumber. It is not only non-toxic, but is also said to be full of treasures. The skin and internal organs are the most delicious. The bigger the fish, the thicker the skin and the more delicious it tastes."

As Li Changle spoke, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He had eaten this kind of fish on a boat in his previous life. It tasted really delicious.

Chen Yongwei, who was holding the yellow croaker, looked at him in surprise, "Why haven't I heard of it? Where did you hear it from?"

"I heard it from the town. You go fishing every day or on your way to fish. Who told you this?" Li Changle threw the pufffish into the live tank. "Awei, I'm not lucky. You cast a net."

"Okay, this net is mine." Chen Yongwei rubbed his hands, walked forward to tidy up the fishing net, stood at the bow of the boat, and threw the fishing net out with all his strength.

Li Changle took out two cigarettes, lit them, and put one in his mouth. He held the cigarette in his mouth and watched him pull the net. He saw the water waves spreading out in circles, and the water splashed high.

He came forward excitedly, "How does it feel?"

"Not bad!" Chen Yongwei took two puffs of his cigarette and spit the smoke into the sea, "Brother, I caught a fish."

"Let me help you pull it!" Li Changle hurried over to help. The two brothers pulled the fishing net out of the water and saw several swordfish at a glance.

"The Spanish mackerel is good too. After drying, it can be sold for 1.5 yuan!"

The two men pulled the fishing net onto the deck in one go and shook it open. The fish, thought to have escaped from the cage, was jumping up and down on the deck with its body arched.

Mackerel, sea bass, white-faced horsehead fish, mullet, yellowfin croaker... there were about a hundred pounds in total.

"Not bad, much better than my net." Li Changle hurriedly picked up the bucket to help catch fish.
