Chapter 318 Enjoyment

Chapter 318 Enjoyment
Li Changle, who was operating the Xusheng and concentrating on fishing, suddenly felt a thorn in his back. He turned his head and saw Zhou Achang who had already turned around to start fishing.

"It turned out to be this monkey!" When Li Changle saw him appear in this sea area, he couldn't help but think of what happened when Chen Amao encountered the people from the village last night.

"If you really did it, you bastard, go ahead and kill yourself!"

At this time, eight fishing boats had arrived, four from the south bank, the one about 30 meters away was also from the south bank, three from Shaji Village, and only one from his family in Shatou Village.

Li Changle felt that Shatou Village’s foundation was still too poor. Although it was the closest to the estuary, their village happened to be the poorest fishing village.

In the old days, everyone lived on the top of Yantou Mountain. It was only after liberation that they moved to the foot of Yantou Mountain to settle down. The mechanized farming roads were built during the production team period, and the road leading to Pan Town was paved a few years ago.

Another large group of seabirds flew over. As more and more seabirds gathered, more and more boats would discover the schools of fish. It’s more important to concentrate on making money. God will punish you if you do this!

Li Changle concentrated on maneuvering the fishing boat to avoid dolphins and whales, and headed for places with large shadows and large schools of fish. The trawl net at the bottom of the water opened its big black mouth, sucking the prey and the escapees into the net bag.

"Boss Ale, did you catch any big stuff?" Chen Amao's excited voice came from the intercom.

"My father and elder brother are sorting the fish on the deck. I haven't been there to see them." Li Changle paused. "You look so excited. You must have caught something really big!"

"Hahaha, a 50-60 kilogram rice fish! Hahaha, I've been a fisherman for more than ten years, but this is the first time I've caught one!"

"Kill the armor! Hurry up and lower the net, there are still a lot of good stuff below, come on!"

"Hahaha!" Chen Amao laughed excitedly a few more times. "Your shipping is so good, you must have caught more good catches than me."

He truly felt that Boss Ale was good at sea transport; whenever there was a large school of fish, he would always be the fastest, whether it was a small boat or a large ship.

No wonder my father always said that when going out to sea, you have to follow people with good luck so that you can catch a favorable wind.

"Swordfish and marlin may have it, but rice fish definitely don't."

"I only got two swordfish and marlin, and a bluefin tuna weighing about 100 pounds!"

"I'll go take a look later!" Li Changle said, and then he saw the two fishing boats that had already arrived. "Work! Work! Try to catch another big fish!"

Now time is money, so we must seize the time.

The longer time goes by, the more fishing boats join in the fishing, especially those on the south coast. They have many big fish, so we have to drag two more nets as much as possible before they arrive.

Chen Amao clenched his fist and made a gesture of encouragement to him, "Keep working hard! The debts are plentiful, and the sea is rising. Work hard, and try to pay off all the debts with this one boat!"

Li Changle clenched his fist and responded, "This is a must!"

"I just like talking to Boss Ale!" Chen Amao laughed, "Brother Ale, let's go back and have a drink together!"

"Okay!" Li Changle agreed and moved to the front of the trumpet. "Get ready to cast the net!"

"Raise the net!" The response from Brother Li and others was heard on the deck.

Chen Yongwei quickly put a tuna with a cut on both the head and tail into the pile of big fish, pulled the bamboo basket aside, and got ready to cast the net.

I don’t know what big fish this net has caught, but the rattling sound of the net machine is like an old machine without oil, and the creaking sound makes people feel uneasy.

Some people were either worried that the machine could not bear the weight and would not be able to pull thousands of kilograms of fish, or they were worried that the net bag would burst!
The moment he saw the net bag on the deck, Xuandiaodiao's heart dropped. Big Brother Li quickly tied the net bag tightly with a cable and hung it on the hook. Second Brother Li started the crane arm and pulled up the net bag.

Wang Xincheng quickly tied up a sharpmouth with a fishing rope and found that the sharp mouth of this guy was different from the previous ones. Could it be the bluefin tuna that his uncle mentioned?

Brother Li quickly untied the knot at the bottom of the net, and several large fish rushed out at once. "Look, two big bluefin breams!"

"That's enough! That's enough!" Father Li danced with joy as he looked at the huge cargo on the deck. "Look, there are two more giant mackerels!"

"Dad, these two are not that big. The Spanish mackerel we caught that time when we encountered the silver pomfret was much bigger, weighing more than 100 kilograms."

"These two aren't bad either, they can easily weigh 80 or 90 kilograms!" Father Li said as he looked at the two bluefin tuna again, "They are a little inferior to these big guys."

"Dad, do you feel like you can't see anymore?"

"Of course not! Normally I'd be so happy if I caught a fish weighing 30 or 40 kilograms, but now I'm catching several weighing hundreds of kilograms in one go. I can't be happier."

"Fuck! Giant mackerel, bluefin tuna, marlin, are there any other big stuff?" Li Changle said excitedly.

"Why are you here?" Father Li turned around and saw him. "Hurry back and start the boat. We will pack up soon."

"Boss Chen said he got a 50-60 jin rice fish. Let me see what big stuff we have."

"There are no big fish." Father Li pointed to the port side, "The big ones are all there. There are more than ten of them piled up."

“Sailfish, swordfish, marlin, good, good, this time we have the three musketeers together!
"Uncle Ale, what are the Three Musketeers?" "Look! There are sailfish and swordfish over there, and there is also a marlin in the net bag. These three big guys are the Three Musketeers of the Ocean!"

"No wonder I felt it was different from the previous ones when I tied its pointed mouth just now." Wang Xincheng thought it was better to get on a big boat so that he could see big fish that he had never seen before.

Li Changle saw Brother Li holding a bluefin tuna to bleed it, "Brother, how about you take over the boat?"

Brother Li waved his hands again and again, "No need to change, you are lucky, what you caught are all big fish, in addition to the three musketeers you mentioned, there are also two ghost-head knives, not to mention the ones weighing thirty or forty knives."

"Oh! Then I'll go sail the boat."

Just listen to the tone, we don't even want to lift the thirty or forty kilograms. If those bosses who haven't encountered the school of fish hear it, the daggers in their eyes can poke several holes in us.

Father Li hurriedly said, "Ah Le, if you are hungry, go get some square cakes to eat."

"Okay!" Li Changle ran to the kitchen, untied the lid of the pot, took out a piece of square cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He took all the square cakes and steaming bamboo strips out of the pot and said to the people who were working hard:
"Don't just focus on your work, eat two pieces of cake first to fill your stomach."

Father Li waved his hand at him and said, "Hurry up and start the boat. We'll put the net down before we eat."

One net can hold two to three hundred dan of fish, and if you delay for a moment you will end up catching hundreds of dan less.

Why should you rush about eating? It's a rare opportunity to come across a big school of fish. After a day's hard work, you won't have to worry about having no food to eat as long as you don't go out to sea after winter.

"Okay!" Li Changle held a piece of square cake in one hand and another in his mouth, and strode towards the cab. When he heard the whistle from the deck, he started the fishing boat and slowly chased the school of fish.

Zhou Achang, who had been keeping an eye on the Xusheng from time to time, turned his head and saw the large cargo on the deck when they passed by. His expression instantly turned from sunny to dark and he was so angry that his face turned green.

"Fuck you! You bastard, I don't believe I can't beat you!"

Don’t you think about how your iron boat, which is more than ten meters long, can compare with a large steel ship that is more than twenty meters long?

Chen Yongwei turned around and saw Zhou Achang, whose face was distorted with anger. He looked at him with contempt and lowered his head to concentrate on his work.

Brother Li stabbed the snake twice, took it and put it aside, and was busy bleeding another snake.

When he finished cutting and was about to release the fish, he saw that the fish's body had faded from bright green to light gray. He looked at the knife in his hand and couldn't help but sigh, "It's amazing!"

Brother Li smiled and nodded, put the bluefin tuna together with the tuna, grinned and patted the big fish, "It's so fucking fun to fish like this!"

"Yes, it's really fucking exciting!" After saying this, Brother Li suddenly felt that he had learned bad things from A Le, saying "fuck" all the time.

After bleeding all the big fish on the deck, the men took off their gloves and started eating the square cakes. After they had filled their hungry stomachs, they were busy sorting the fish on the deck.

Apart from the big deep-sea fish, these nets contain sardines and mackerel, with shrimps and crabs accounting for only a very small part.

Spanish mackerels weighing more than three pounds are sorted and packed into baskets, while those weighing less are mixed in a bamboo basket and taken back to the dock to dry in the sun.

The main problem was that sorting and bleeding were too time-consuming. The sardines didn't even need to be sorted. They were simply scooped up with a crowbar and put into bamboo baskets, which were then hooked with iron hooks and sent to the cargo hold to be frozen.

Father Li dragged a pile of bamboo baskets over and said to Chen Yongwei, whose hands were busy, "Awei, go help with the bleeding. Acheng and I will do the rest."

Li Changle concentrated on following the school of fish. Ten minutes later, a dozen meters long fishing boat in front of his left suddenly emitted several puffs of black smoke. The hull shook a few times, then shut down.

It seems that the ship owner was too absorbed in his work, the machine ran out of oil, and he got angry and went on strike!

Li Changle turned his head and saw the ship owner pounding the bridge a few times in anger. Thinking of the diesel in the diesel tank, he smiled triumphantly.

Every failure makes you wiser. Next time, this guy should prepare enough food and oil!

When he saw the old man shouting a few times at the maritime radio and the boatman on the deck took out a hand-cast net and began to cast the net to catch fish, he remembered that there were cargo ships specializing in delivering diesel these days.

But the price will increase several times, so we have to work harder. The more we earn, the less losses we will suffer.

In less than an hour, Li Changle notified everyone again to prepare to set up the net.

Chen Yongwei straightened up and responded, looking at the fish piled on the deck, "Too fast, too fast, there is no time to sort out the fish on the deck, and the nets have to be raised again."

Hearing the preparations for the nets, Father Li dragged a pile of bamboo baskets onto the deck with his exhausted legs, and said to the others with both joy and worry:

"What should I do? The bamboo baskets are almost used up. There won't be enough to hold the next catch."

After arriving here, they hauled up a net every hour or so. This was already the fourth net in half a day. The catch of more than 10,000 kilograms of fish had almost used up all the bamboo baskets. The remaining 20 to 30 bamboo baskets could hold a little more than 1,000 kilograms at most.

Fortunately, the cargo hold is large enough, so there is no need to worry about having no place to load tens of thousands of pounds.
