Chapter 132 The cabin is full of fish and crabs
It was already past lunch time when I returned to the old house, but for Concubine Li, who had returned from going to sea, she didn't feel very hungry at all. Carrying the fishing tools home, the two began to divide the labor again, one was responsible for cooking, and the other went down to carry the bag.
At the end of the live broadcast on the desert island before, Zhuang Haiyang pried some oysters and mussels back as usual. Although these dry goods, Zhuang Haiyang never thought of selling them. But before the Spring Festival, he planned to send a copy to netizens with a better relationship.
He is sure that those who have been to the island will be happy to receive this New Year's gift. Don't sell, only send, what is sold is money, and what is sent is favor. There is no shortage of money now, but connections may sometimes be used.
Take the hospitalization of his old comrade-in-arms Zhang Luo as an example, if it weren't for the live broadcast to get to know Li Sihai, Zhuang Haiyang's social circle, it is estimated that it would not be easy to find a friend who knows the way to help.
As the saying goes, the more friends you have, the easier the road to go. Friendship is also accumulated little by little!
Regarding Zhuang Haiyang's idea, Concubine Li also expressed her support. Although she hasn't walked out of school yet, she also understands that everything Zhuang Haiyang is doing now is also for the future of the two. When you get married and have children, you have time to enjoy life.
Before that, if you can make a career, whether it is a family or a child, you can enjoy benefits!
Taking advantage of Concubine Li's absence, Zhuang Haiyang poured some of the seawater soaked in Dinghaizhu into the water tank. Other seafood that is not easy to feed is fished out and put in a bucket, and temporarily brought back to the yard for one night.
The water tanks placed in the yard are equipped with oxygen supply equipment, and with the addition of water with Dinghai beads, these relatively delicate seafood can live until the next day when they are sent to the town for sale. The price of live seafood is naturally much higher.
was almost busy, and Concubine Li, who was making lunch, also said in a timely manner: "Brother Haiyang, prepare to wash your hands and eat." ”
"Okay, right away!"
There is an extra hostess in the house, and life is indeed much more enjoyable. Even if it was just a few simple home-cooked dishes, both of them had a lot of fun. After lunch, after a brief rest, the two went back upstairs to take a nap.
For Concubine Li, last night was really hard, and she went to sea for half a day in the morning. After washing, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep in Zhuang Haiyang's arms. At this time, Zhuang Haiyang is still very restrained and will not take the opportunity to bully.
Anyway, the night was long, and he didn't need to be so eager. Even if you have a good physique, sometimes you have to restrain yourself!
Zhuang Haiyang, who is accustomed to taking a nap, woke up on time two hours later. Just as she was about to get out of bed secretly, Concubine Li, who was lying in her arms, also opened her eyes and said, "Brother Haiyang, what time is it?"
"It's early! If you don't get enough sleep, you'll be fine if you sleep again. ”
"I don't sleep, I get up. ”
After a while, the two of them washed up and went downstairs and began to clean up the oysters and mussels they had dug up just like they had done during the summer vacation. The division of labor and cooperation are all skillful, and the two bags of oysters and mussels soon turned into a pile of shells.
While there is still sunshine, Concubine Li will also peel out the oyster meat and mussel meat and spread them out to dry in the yard. In good weather, the meat will be dried for a maximum of two to three days, and it will be bagged and preserved.
After finishing these, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Concubine, what do you want to eat at night?"
Concubine Li, who was questioned, thought for a while and said, "Let's make some vegetarian dishes at night!"
"Okay, then let's go to the vegetable garden and see what vegetables we can pick and come back. ”
"Good!"
It's actually greasy to eat too much fish and meat every day, and it's good to change the taste occasionally. When it comes to nutritional value, Zhuang Haiyang feels that the nutritional value of home-grown vegetables may be higher than that of seafood.
As Zhuang Haiyang said, for fishermen living by the sea, eating seafood is really home-cooked!
After dinner, Zhuang Haiyang took Concubine Li out to the sea again, found a place to throw down the crab pot with bait, and returned to the sea. Tomorrow after collecting the crab pots, go home for breakfast and go straight to town.
He hadn't been to the town to sell fish for a while, and I'm sure the fishermen would miss him a lot. After resting for the night, the two got up early the next day, and after getting off the row of hooks, Zhuang Haiyang ran to catch fish for an hour, and caught a few groupers with a large amount.
Looking at the reef that was slapped in front of her, Concubine Li, who was wearing a military coat, nestled beside Zhuang Haiyang and said, "The shipwreck that was discovered some time ago is in this sea area? This place is very dangerous at night, right?"
"Well, the waves are so strong at night that the fishing boats can't operate at all. The salvage divers sent by the state all take turns to work during the day when the wind and waves are light. That kind of work is tiring, and professional divers work no more than three hours a day. ”
"Wow, is it so hard? Then you used to be in the army, did you often do this?"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was questioned, said while slitting a fish: "It's okay! Although I have also joined the diving team, most of us are training in the army, and the number of missions we carry out is not much, and it is not too hard.
It is only a professional diver, and it can serve for six or seven years at most, and if it serves for a long time, it will cause great damage to the body, and it is even possible to suffer from diving diseases. Fortunately, the various safeguard measures of the troops are now good, and there are very few such cases. ”
As a girlfriend, Concubine Li also hopes to learn more about Zhuang Haiyang's life story. For Zhuang Haiyang, he will not hide some things he can say. If he can't say it, then he won't mention it.
Looking at the eight groupers caught, and then looking at the sea level that had been brightened, Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Go and collect the hooks and crab pots!" With these few fish, it should be enough to make a difference." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Li also smiled and said, "You guy, people give you the opportunity to make money, and you still complain!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was laughed and scolded, retorted: "You have also seen that such wild groupers are really not easy to fish. If you have time to catch these fish, you can probably earn it back by putting an extra round of hooks. I'm making money, and the fat guy earns more. ”
Knowing that Zhuang Haiyang would come to the town to sell fishing goods today, Chen Zhong also specially explained and asked Zhuang Haiyang to make some wild big groupers. This kind of seafood that is most loved by diners, Chen Chong's fishing and fresh restaurant has never been afraid of much.
It is precisely because wild groupers are difficult to catch that the price has increased over the years. Even if Chen Chong's fishing building is an old brand, he can't guarantee that he can buy fresh wild groupers every day.
When others invite guests to dinner, they like to order a dish of steamed wild grouper. If there is no goods, won't you push away the customers who have delivered them to your door?
Although she has been to this sea area many times, Concubine Li does not dare to sail at all. The reason is that there are many reefs in this place, and even if Zhuang Haiyang sails a boat, he must be cautious, for fear that the bottom of the ship will touch the reef under the seabed.
Back at the place where the lower row of hooks was placed, the two cooperated with each other to collect the row of hooks, and collected another wave of fish into the water tank. Restart the boat and come to the place where the crab pot is dismounted. Compared to yesterday, there is undoubtedly more harvest in the crab pots today.
"Wow, it's bursting again, so many crabs!"
Listening to Concubine Li's exclamation, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Don't wow, hurry up and pick out the crabs that can be sold." The small ones are thrown back into the sea, and they are allowed to grow up a little more, and then they have a chance to be fished again. ”
"Hmm!"
Dumping the crabs packed with crab pots on the boat, looking at the pike crabs, stone crabs, orchid crabs, etc., with teeth and claws, Concubine Li was also very bold, grabbing the crabs that only met the standards and tying them up with a rubber band.
The remaining crabs that did not meet the standards were quickly thrown back into the sea. Some of the octopus and moray eels that got into the crab pot were also sorted by Concubine Li and thrown into the bucket next to them. Even so, it's a bit too busy.
So that every two or three cages are pulled, Zhuang Haiyang will help pick crabs and tie crabs. When there is not much left, continue to pull a cage onto the boat. Pulling the crab pot is also a strength job, even if Concubine Li wants to help, it is estimated that pulling two cages will be out of breath.
After all the crab pots were finished, looking at the crabs piled up in the tank, Concubine Li was also very happy: "Wow, we are full of fish and crabs today, it seems that our luck is really getting better and better!"
"Well, I love to hear that! you rest first, and I'll clean the deck. There are fruits and vegetables in the cab, and you can replenish your strength. ”
"Okay, Brother Ocean, then I'll work hard for you!"
It seems that the work is not tiring, but it is actually very tiring, and after being busy, my forehead has begun to sweat. Because she went out without eating in the morning, Concubine Li did feel a little hungry, and it was natural to eat some fruits and vegetables to replenish her physical strength.
When the boat returns, except for the fishing things that are carried home, the rest of the fishing goods are directly placed on the boat. As for someone stealing fish, that's almost unlikely. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, you can see the dock at any time.
It's not the kind of dock where boats come and go in the town, as long as there are strange ships coming, with Zhuang Haiyang's current hearing, he can find it at any time. After breakfast and family affairs, the two continued to sail out to sea.
Staying in the cockpit, looking at the fishermen standing at the dock, Concubine Li also smiled and said, "You are really popular!"
"It's not me who welcomes them, it's the cargo on our ship. Don't look at the price I sell, in fact, they make a lot of money. ”
Driving the fishing boat slowly to the shore, Chen Chong, the only one who has the right to board the boat, saw Concubine Li who walked out of the cockpit, and also said with a smile: "Concubine, you also came over." This guy doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!"
"Dead fatty, you're talking bad about me again, aren't you? I don't want this fish, do you?"
"That's right! Complain, you take it seriously. What about the fish?"
Facing Chen Chong, who was smiling, Zhuang Haiyang was also speechless and said, "You guy, you are really a shapi!"
"Get out!"
After a wave of mutual scolding, Zhuang Haiyang showed Chen Chong the wild grouper that was placed alone in a water tank. Seeing these fierce groupers, Chen Chong's fat face also smiled, and he praised Zhuang Haiyang for being righteous enough.
Zhuang Haiyang, who ignored this guy, still went ashore to chat with these fishermen and inquire about the current market situation. With the help of Zhang Luo Chenzhong, he began to clean up the fish in the water tank and sell them to the fishermen according to the varieties and old rules.
As for Concubine Li, she is responsible for counting and collecting money. With the sound of a pen arriving in the account, the fish caught in the past two days were also moved away one by one. The rest of the crabs were left for Chen Chong, and the rest were snatched up.
Even if there is no sale for a while, the fishing goods sold by Zhuang Haiyang are still in demand. Prices are still much higher than those of other fishermen. Even so, the fishermen who bought the fish also ran away with a smile on their faces.
If you dare to sell at a higher price, you will naturally have the confidence to sell at a higher price. How could these shrewd fishermen do a loss-making business!
