Chapter 253: Almost Slapped
Chapter 253: Almost Slapped
When the boat sailed out of the Yantoushan waters, the two brothers lowered the trawl into the water. Li Changle took over the rudder, drove the fishing boat, towing the fishing net, and slowly headed towards the Zhushan Island waters.
The boat circled Zhushan Island, then headed towards Chuiyuan Island, and began to collect the nets in the waters of Xiadilong.
"Brother, it looks like there's no catch!"
"Who cares! As long as it's enough money for diesel."
Li Changle stopped the boat to help Chen Yongwei pull the fishing net onto the deck and untied the rope. Countless eels poured out and swam around on the deck, giving people goose bumps.
It looked like it weighed at least a hundred pounds, mixed with some green mullets and some small fish.
Chen Yongwei rubbed his arms and said, "Ah, why are there so many eels? My pores are standing up."
"Maybe we encountered a school of eels." Li Changle said, looking at Brother Li, "Brother, what fish did you catch?"
"The catch wasn't very good. Most of the fish were eels, and the rest were just some miscellaneous fish."
"The same goes for us." Li Changle picked up a wooden stick and knocked a big eel unconscious, then caught them by size and put them into a plastic bucket.
The four men were bent over, busy on the deck, and felt their waists were about to break before they sorted out all the eels and miscellaneous fish and put the bait into buckets.
Li Changle straightened up and suddenly saw a large group of seabirds circling in the sky in the distance. He pointed at the group of seabirds and shouted excitedly, "Brother, hurry up and start the boat."
Before he finished speaking, he had already run to the driver's seat, picked up the crank and started the engine.
The appearance of large flocks of seabirds on the sea means the appearance of schools of fish, and the presence of schools of fish means it is time to cast nets and catch money, just like the school of silver pomfret last time.
Chen Yongwei, Li Da Ge and Li Er Ge also saw it, "Haha, I thought I had bad luck after running into that bastard Lai Da this morning, but I didn't expect to have such luck."
"Hurry up, there will be a boat coming this way soon." Li Changle stepped on the accelerator and the boat sailed towards the direction where the seabirds were gathering like an arrow.
After Chen Yongwei put down the trawl net, he excitedly took out all the fishing nets and scoop nets, ready to cast the nets to catch money. After everything was ready, he stood on the deck and looked at the seabirds, feeling that they were also flying towards this side.
"Brother, I found those seabirds flying towards us."
"Never mind, just hurry over there, the more nets you cast, the more money you will get."
"Hey hey!" Chen Yongwei nodded excitedly.
The fishing boat was getting closer and closer to the seabirds. They could vaguely see schools of fish tumbling on the sea. From time to time, fish jumped out of the water and tried to escape. Around the schools of fish, they could vaguely see several big guys chasing away their prey.
"Brother, there is a sea monster in the water!" Chen Yongwei shouted.
Li Changle controlled the fishing boat and stretched his neck to look at that area. "Awei, it looks like a killer whale."
Before he could finish his words, a long and sharp cry of a killer whale suddenly came from the front.
Chen Yongwei shouted in surprise, "Brother, it's really Brother Tiger who is here."
Li Changle saw the round bodies in front of him and waved to them excitedly, "Brother Huzi!"
I saw several killer whales, some diving into the water to hunt, and some driving schools of fish towards them. The sunlight shone on the sea, and the fleeing fish on the water surface flashed a blue-silver light.
Flocks of seabirds swooped down, picked up fish and flew away.
Li Changle and his brothers looked at the scene in shock, speechless with excitement. After they came to their senses, they hurriedly stopped the fishing boat and started the machine to collect the net to avoid accidentally hurting them with the trawling net.
"A Le, sea beasts also know how to repay kindness?" Brother Li looked at the school of fish in the water, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Probably!" Li Changle only knew that he had seen it in a short video before. Killer whales have amazing memory and a strong sense of revenge. Killer whales that are bullied by humpback whales will even bring whaling ships to capture humpback whales.
A big fish was suddenly slapped into the air by a killer whale's tail, and a black shadow was seen flying towards Li Changle and his boat.
Chen Yongwei quickly retreated upon seeing this. He heard a muffled "bang" and the boat shook a few times. In the blink of an eye, he saw a sole more than one meter long lying on the deck.
Big Brother Li and Second Brother Li stretched their necks to look at the big fish on their deck and exclaimed, "Wow, this is the first time I've seen such a big fish."
Li Changle looked at the big fish that was almost as wide as a door panel and said, "Fuck, it must be two hundred kilograms, right?"
"Oh my god, luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been flattened by it." Chen Yongwei patted his chest and said with a look of fear.
Everyone may not be familiar with the word "flatfish", but everyone is familiar with it when we talk about flounder. This fish may not look very attractive, but it has a great flavor whether steamed or braised. The cooked fish meat is tender, white and delicious, and the fish head is also extremely delicious.
The steamed fish has meat as white and tender as tofu, which makes you drool just by looking at it. This fish looks similar to turbot, and it is also a strange fish with two eyes on one side.
The newly hatched flounder looks nothing like its parents. It looks similar to ordinary fish. Its eyes are also on both sides of the head, one on each side, placed symmetrically.
After about 20 days, the flounder larvae began to change their appearance, and when they grew to 1 cm, something strange happened.
One of its eyes gradually moved upwards, across the upper edge of the back of its head, and its body gradually tilted synchronously.
It did not stop moving until it got close to the other eye, and different types of flounders had different ways and routes of eye movement. When everyone saw the sole's tail on the deck snap a few times and then stop moving, they turned their heads and looked into the sea.
Li Changle waved to the killer whale gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Tiger, for the fish!"
He saw several killer whales emerging from the water, shaking their big heads at them, calling out to him a few times, and then jumping up and diving into the water again.
It seems like they are saying hello to them, hurry up and catch them, we will help you stop them.
Brother Li exclaimed, "It turns out that this sea beast really understands human nature!"
"Yeah, I won't be afraid of them anymore." Brother Li looked at the fish tumbling in the sea and said, "Brother, look at the many red snappers in the sea."
"Brother, Brother Hu, get out of the way and cast the net quickly." Li Changle's hands were the fastest, and before he finished speaking, the fishing net had been cast out.
"Okay!" Brother Li and his brother finally reacted and quickly threw out the fishing nets in their hands.
The water surface is full of fish, so you can start pulling in the net without waiting for the lead to sink.
"The net burst~" Li Changle howled excitedly, and the two of them worked together to pull the fishing net onto the boat, only to see that the net was full of red snapper.
"Brother, we've made a fortune, hurry up and deflate the big fish!" Chen Yongwei shouted excitedly, shaking the net faster than ever before.
Li Changle handed him the net rope and asked, "Can you do it alone?"
"I'm stronger than you!" Chen Yongwei quickly straightened the fishing net and cast it out again.
Li Changle hurriedly picked up a big fish and walked to the live tank. He picked up the deflation needle, pressed the fish's body and stabbed it. After the fish's belly looked normal, he pulled out the needle and put the fish into the live tank.
After deflated the several large fish that were pulled up, he took a knife and went forward to cut a hole in the lower edge of the gill cover of the sole that was knocked onto the deck by the killer whale.
The blood gushed out all of a sudden. After the blood was drained, I grabbed the fish's tail and pulled it aside with its butt sticking up, sprinkled some ice cubes on it, and covered it with cotton wool.
"Roar!" Chen Yongwei shouted, and Li Changle hurried forward to help. The heavy fishing net seemed to be filled with a bag of stones.
This net was full of red snappers, and red snappers of all sizes were jumping around on the deck.
Li Changle turned around like a clockwork top, picked up the big one and ran towards the living cabin, muttering, "Endure the hardship, and you will have money to buy a Land Rover."
Live fish are much more valuable than dead ones. A live fish weighing more than ten pounds is sold for ten yuan per pound, while a dead one can be sold for half the price at most.
Although the red sweetfish is grayish in color, the flesh inside is white with a hint of red when the skin is cut open. Uncle Kun said that the red sweetfish is so delicious when eaten as sashimi, but he still likes to eat it cooked.
The two of them worked together to pull up two more nets, and beads of sweat fell on the deck and broke into eight pieces.
Over there, Brother Li and Brother Li II also cast a few nets, and the two families together had seven or eight nets. The schools of fish on the sea were not as dense as before, and there were already fishing boats in the distance rushing towards this side.
The killer whales that were scattered to surround the school of fish also gathered together, emerged from the water, let out a cheerful cry to the fishing boat, shook their big heads at them again, dived into the water and swam away.
It seemed like it was saying hello to them, our mission is completed, now it’s up to you.
"Thank you, Brother Hu! Thank you!" Li Changle quickly waved to them to express his gratitude.
Suddenly, he remembered that the red snappers swam very fast, and they would surely scatter once the killer whales driving them away left, so he hurriedly lowered the trawl that had not yet been put away into the water.
He turned around and shouted to Brother Li, "Brother, get ready to start the boat and chase the fish."
"Okay!" Brother Li ran quickly to the driver's seat.
At this time, the fishing boats heading this way were getting closer and closer to them. The red snappers in the sea seemed to have discovered that the big guy that threatened them was gone, and they dispersed and moved forward rapidly like launched "torpedoes".
"Awei, quickly close your net and leave." Li Changle yelled at Chen Yongwei.
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei responded loudly and quickly pulled the fishing net onto the deck. This net caught only a dozen fish.
Li Changle asked him to clean up the fish on the deck. He and Brother Li drove the fishing boat to chase the school of fish. They saw that the fishing boat in front had already started to cast the net. It seemed that the fastest fish had already reached their waters.
Chen Yongwei and Li Erge rubbed their arms, looked at the deck full of red snappers, biting the bloodletting knife in their mouths and holding the deflation needle in their hands, full of energy.
"Boss A Le, it's you again. Why are you always the fastest when you encounter a school of fish?" Chen Amao's loud voice rang out on the opposite fishing boat.
Li Changle smiled and said, "What a coincidence, what a coincidence, you guys are not bad either."
Chen Amao exclaimed as he looked at the fish on their deck.
"Oh my god, they are all red snappers! Boss Ale, you brothers are so lucky, wow!"
"Boss Chen, your net is not bad either, hahaha!" Li Changle laughed and continued to drive the fishing boat to chase the school of fish.
Thanks to our friend Tong Ayang for the support! Thank you!
