Chapter 215 Big Blue Spot

"Wow, it's more expensive than the big black porgy!"

"That's it." Li Changle took out a large net bag, untied the rope and said, "Hurry up and put it in the net bag and put it in the water to keep it, so that it won't dry out later."

Li Xiaoyang nodded and said, "Uncle San, should I put the big black porgy in the bucket in there as well?"

"Go!" Li Changle bent his body and searched along the groove on the edge of the rock wall. He went into the water and touched a fish. He caught it and saw that it was a black sea bream weighing one kilogram.

"This is the sixth black bream I've caught today. Are we going to change to Black Snapper Island again?"

Li Changle smiled and shook his head, put the fish into the net bag, went into the water again, and touched another black porgy weighing more than one kilogram. He simply picked up the small scoop net and scooped it up in the water.

In this one ditch alone, he fished and caught more than a dozen large shrimps, a yellowfin bream, and five black snappers in total. There were also some small fish that were only two or three fingers wide, which he simply ignored and was too lazy to even catch.

Perhaps because both types of fish like to live in rocky reef areas, he found that they are easiest to catch in puddles on the island.

He turned to the corner, grabbed an orchid crab, and just as he pulled out the hemp rope to tie it up, he seemed to see a tiger fish going into the crevice of the rock out of the corner of his eye.

Thinking that Li Xiaoyang would be coming down soon, he quickly quickened his pace, tied up the orchid crab and threw it into the net bag, then carried the scoop net over, moved the stone away and saw that it was indeed that guy hiding inside.

After fishing it out, I saw that it was of good size, probably weighing more than one kilogram. Even if I gave it to Adong, I could still sell it for seven or eight yuan.

Worried that the children might accidentally touch it, Li Changle made a single room for the tiger fish, tied the rope near the rock wall, and went back to continue catching fish.

Shi Jiugong was too lazy to take the small ones and just threw them into the puddle below. Among the dozen or so mantis shrimps, most of them were female shrimps with roe, which were just enough to cook a bowl of shrimps with those big shrimps at noon.

"Uncle San, there is a big blue crab behind you." Li Xiaoyang said in surprise, holding the hook and pointing at the stone behind him.

Li Changle turned his head and saw a blue crab with a pair of big claws and two small eyes as big as rice grains waving in the crevice of the rock. He took the hook, hooked it out of the crevice, pressed down on its back shell and caught it.

He looked at the giant crab that was showing its teeth and claws but was helpless, and gave Li Xiaoyang a thumbs up, "You are really good at seeing things."

"My mother said that I'm the best at fishing in the sea. Every time I go there, I catch more fish than she does." Li Xiaoyang said as he stole a glance at Mrs. Li.

Maybe there is a kind of bragging!

Li Changle looked at the little fellow whose face was red from the sun, "Be careful, there are tiger fish in the puddle, make sure you watch carefully before you do anything."

"I know." Li Xiaoyang went into the water and grabbed a mantis shrimp. Before he could feel proud for two seconds, he was flicked by the shrimp's tail. With a cry of pain, the shrimp fell into the water.

Li Changle hurried over, "What's wrong?"

"I was flicked by a mantis shrimp." Li Xiaoyang sniffed, tears welling up in his eyes, but he managed to hold back his tears.

Li Changle pulled his hand over and took a look. She saw that the base of his thumb was bruised red, but luckily the bone was fine.

Rubbing his head, "It's not bad. In serious cases, fingers will be broken. Just rub them with some loosening oil and they will be fine."

"Ugh!" Li Xiaoyang grimaced as he held his hand, which was burning with pain after being hit. "Uncle San, leave it to me. I'll catch it later."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to take revenge on it!"

Just at this moment, a "splash" sound came from the rock wall, which scared the uncle and nephew at the same time. They looked into the puddle at the same time and saw that the back fin of the big fish had been exposed.

"Uncle San, what a big blue spot!" Li Xiaoyang was so excited that he even forgot the pain in his hand.

"Hahaha, it's a big one!" Li Changle laughed out loud when he saw the true appearance of the big fish.

The cheers of the uncle and nephew attracted Mrs. Li and the other two to stop their work again. They lay on the rocks and stretched their necks to look into the puddle.

Mrs. Li looked at the fish and said, "Sister-in-law, it must be about 10 to 20 kilograms, right?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Li said confidently.

"Aunt, let me take a look!" Xiang Xiaoyu used his hands and feet to climb up the rock.

Li Changle rushed forward excitedly and just as he was about to grab the fish with his arms, the big blue fish swung its tail and twisted its body to break free from his clutches, splashing water all over him.

"Damn it!" Li Changle wiped the water off his face and pointed at the big blue spot swimming in panic in the water, "This is my territory. Where can you escape to?"

"Uncle San, wait a minute, I'll help you!" Li Xiaoyang hurriedly picked up the scoop net and walked towards him.

"Take the big one!"

"Okay!" Li Xiaoyang handed over the large scoop net.

Li Changle took it and aimed the mouth of the net at the head of the big blue fish, then scooped it over. After the fish entered the net, half of the fish body was still outside the net bag.

Looking at the spots on the fish, he laughed triumphantly, "Hahaha, a big blue spot."

Xiang Xiaoyu exclaimed: "Wow, what a big fish!"

"Ayu, come and see the beautiful prawns." Li Xiaoyang pulled him to see the big flower dragon.

"Ah Le, how heavy is the big blue spot?"

"About 17 or 18 pounds!" Li Changle happily put the fish into the shallow water, put away the tube, and began to search the water area under the rock wall.

Mrs. Li looked at the fish and sighed, "It's better to catch fish on the island!" Mrs. Li nodded again and again, "Sister-in-law, wait until the big boat comes back and An and his friends go out to sea, then we'll sail to the island to fish."

Mrs. Li was a little tempted. "Now that the big ship is back, won't you sell the wooden boat?"

"I only make so much money from selling them. I can make more than that in a year by coming to the island to dig snails and sell them."

Li Changle grabbed a perch, stood up and said to the two of them, "Second sister-in-law, I won't be too busy drying fish in the future, so it's better to sell it to others."

Mrs. Li thought about it and said, "If we are still selling dried fish by then, we will have to sell it off!"

"Uncle San, my dad is here." Li Xiaoyang said, waving at the rock, "Dad, we are down there."

Li Changle turned his head and saw Li Xiaozhou sitting on Chen Yongwei's shoulders, Li Erge was carrying Li Xiaomei, Zhou Ruonan was holding Li Xiaohai, and a group of people had already arrived on the rock.

Li Xiaohai pouted and said, "Dad, you didn't even bring us to catch fish."

Li Changle hurriedly comforted him, "The tide has receded. Let's catch all the fish in the puddle and go to the beach below to fish for them."

"Brother, did you find any big bargains?" Chen Yongwei carried Li Xiaozhou towards the puddle.

"Yes, Uncle San found a big blue spot and a big flower dragon." Li Xiaoyang said, pointing to the net bag placed in the puddle.

"I want to see the big flower dragon!"

“We want to see it too!”

Li Xiaobo and Li Xiaotao shouted and were about to run downstairs. Big Brother Li quickly grabbed the two and protected the children to the edge of the puddle.

The children were so happy to see the big flower dragon and big blue spot in the net bag that they chirped around the puddle, as if it was a sparrow's nest.

Chen Yongwei took a few glances and then went to fish in the water. Li Xiaohai, Li Xiaotao and others also wanted to go, but were stopped by Li Changle's three brothers.

Li Xiaoyang also showed his hand that was flicked by the mantis shrimp to a few people.

Zhou Ruonan saw that Li Changle's clothes and pants were soaked, "Ah Le, it's almost time to go back. Go to the boat and change your clothes and pants."

"The sun is so bright, it might be dry by the time we get to the dock." Li Changle looked at her and smiled, "Did you pick up any seabird eggs?"

"So many!" Li Xiaohai rushed to say, "Dad, there are seabird nests all over the forest, and in the grass under the trees. We picked up a bucket and came back."

Li Xiaoqing: "Uncle San, there are still a lot of wild duck eggs up there, and there are also a lot of wild sea ducks nesting. They won't leave even when they see people coming."

"Aunt San doesn't allow us to hunt wild sea ducks, saying they are hatching ducklings."

"Aunt San is right. If we kill the female duck, we won't have sea duck eggs to eat anymore."

Li Changle climbed ashore, and the three brothers sat on the shore smoking, "Brother, you guys will come back after you put away the traps and jars, right?"

Brother Li nodded happily, "Yes! Those jars are much better here than over there on the big rock. There are eighty or ninety little octopuses. The octopuses have filled up the rubber bucket."

"We were worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it all by yourself, so we collected the pots and traps and put them back, and got the longlines down, and then we came to find you."

Brother Li happily told Li Changle that the catch from the ground traps was also good.

Five sets of traps yielded eleven swimming crabs, four red flower crabs, and more than thirty large blue crabs. The big ones weighed two or three pounds each, and the smallest ones weighed more than one pound. There were also several large conchs.

There were five or six millet fish and sea bass, sword lobsters weighing about seven or eight pounds, a dozen lobsters, more than ten yellowfin breams and black sea breams, a few conger eels, and a tiger eel about one meter long and as thick as his arm.

Li Changle glanced at the tendon meat on Brother Li's arm and said with a smile, "This thick tiger eel must weigh more than ten kilograms, right?"

Brother Li smiled and nodded, "It weighs about 15 or 16 kilograms. It almost bit my hand. This kind of eel tastes better than sea eels. It should be no problem to sell it at a restaurant for 1 yuan per kilogram."

Li Changle felt that the fish caught near the islands were better than those caught offshore. "I'll make five more sets of traps when I get back. This will be our long-term base in the future."

"That's what I told my eldest brother. We've already bought the longline fishing line set, and we can make it by working a few night shifts. It's slower to make the ground trap, and it takes several days to weave it."

"If you are too busy to set up traps, you can give a few sets to Yufang. That girl is very fast at weaving nets." Mrs. Li said from the other side of the rock wall.

"It's just like inviting others. I'll send a few groups over and ask her to help with the work when I get back."

"Brother, it's okay. There are no more fish in there." Chen Yongwei came out with a net bag, and there were a few black sea breams in it.

"Okay, let's pack up, go back and cook some fresh food, and then go to the beach."

Several people stood up and began to collect the fish.

It was fine to put other fish into the bucket, but that big blue grouper couldn't fit in at all.

Li Changle went to the rock and took down the backpack. He took an oilcloth bag and put it on top. He filled half of the basket with water and poured the big blue spot, the big flower dragon, the big black porgy and the yellow-finned fish into the backpack.

Xiang Xiaoyu pried open a full bucket of Buddha's hand snails, and Li Dasao and Li Ersao pried even more, two full buckets plus two net bags, which together weighed several dozen kilograms.

Chen Yongwei was carrying the fish on his back, Big Brother Li was holding a bucket in one hand, Li Changle was carrying a plastic pipe and his youngest son, and Second Brother Li was carrying Li Xiaomei. In front of the adults was a group of excited children, and everyone walked towards where the boat was docked.
