Chapter 18: Bad luck!
Compared with the speed at which Zhuang Haiyang pulls the crab pots, Zheng Tianming and others, who are responsible for sorting the crab pots, seem to be more time-consuming. After all the crab pots were sorted, I looked at the crabs piled up in the tank, crawling around densely.
It was the first time to experience such a fishing operation, and Zheng Tianming and the three of them were also very excited. took off their gloves, took out their mobile phones and began to take a group photo. In any case, this large pile of crabs is the spoils of their hard work.
After the three of them finished taking a group photo, Zhuang Haiyang said with a smile: "Then let's go to the row hook, it's not too early." ”
"Okay! Those two guys didn't come, I guess they'll regret it!"
"Regret what! I guess, when we go back, they may not get up!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was listening to the small talk of the three of them, began to return to the sea area where he had previously been hooked. Even if there are no valuables at home, but people are here to be guests, and it seems a little rude to leave guests at home.
Arriving at the place where the previous lower row of hooks was placed, Zhuang Haiyang adjusted the speed of the boat, and asked Zheng Tianming to help control the rudder. Zheng Tianming, who had an experience once, seemed much more relaxed this time. For him, all he had to do was steer the boat.
Although the time for the lower row of hooks is not long, Zhuang Haiyang is also not worried about not being hooked. The reason is very simple, the live shrimp used as bait are raised in water soaked in Dinghai Pearl. When these live shrimp get out of the water, they are bound to be scramble by big fish.
Zhuang Haiyang, who picked up the float and prepared to pull the line, did not forget to put the net by his side. If there is any big fish, it is easy to get off the hook by pulling the line directly. If you use a net, you don't have to worry about the hooked fish running away.
Zhuang Haiyang, who began to pull the line, soon saw the first sea fish that was pulled up. Li Sihai, who was sitting next to him and watching, also said happily: "Fisherman, it's a good start again! This one seems to be a grouper, right?"
"Well, these groupers, which live in shallow waters, are not very big. However, the meat quality and taste are not bad!"
Pinching the grouper carried on the boat, Zhuang Haiyang crossed his hand and felt that this grouper should be more than half a catty. Throw it into the water tank next to it, continue to pull the line, and soon feel the fish struggling underwater.
When the fish was pulled out of the water, Li Sihai looked at it and said, "Fisherman, what kind of fish is this?"
"White sea bream, steamed and braised tastes good! This kind of fish is easier to catch with a row hook!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who explained with a smile, but his hand did not stop, took out the hook hanging on the fish's mouth, and threw the white sea bream that was still alive and jumping directly into the water tank next to it. As a child of a fisherman, common marine fish are naturally difficult to live in Zhuang Haiyang.
As the hooks were pulled out of the water one by one, Li Sihai and Huang Xinyan, who were sitting next to them, also felt that there were too many fish species in the sea. Many of the fish were pulled onto the boat, and they all looked confused and couldn't figure out what they were.
On the contrary, Zhuang Haiyang, who was in charge of pulling the hook, said from time to time: "This is a golden fish! This is a sea carp! This is a black sea bream!"
The fish that were pulled onto the boat did not seem to be very large. But it looks like every fish is fresh, and most of them are fresh when they are thrown into the tank. Look at this frame, these rows of hooks this morning are enough for them to eat on the island for a few days.
So much so that Li Sihai also sighed: "Look at your lower row of hooks, it's no different from picking up fish!"
"I can only say that I am lucky! In addition, my home is in the open sea, and the fishery resources here are relatively rich. In the past, with so many rows of hooks, it would be nice to be able to catch one fish with ten hooks. ”
Zhuang Haiyang, who said these words, did not fool Li Sihai and the others. In fact, if other fishermen come here to lay the hooks, there is a real chance that it will be empty. If it weren't for the different bait of Zhuang Haiyang, it would be difficult to have so many harvests.
Just as Zhuang Haiyang repeated the action of pulling the fish and taking the hook, he saw that a golden fish appeared on the hook that was pulled up, and the action of pulling the line in his hand stopped instantly, and he said with joy on his face: "Haha, you have a mouthful!"
"What do you mean?
"Big yellow croaker, rare, right? I really didn't expect that the next row of hooks can also catch big yellow croaker, today we are lucky!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was talking, held a net in one hand and pulled a fishing line in the other. Pull up the large yellow croaker in the sea and quickly slip it into the net pocket. Looking at the golden fish in the net pocket, Li Sihai was also delighted: "I'm KAO, this is the big yellow croaker?"
Pinching the big yellow croaker that had lost its breath, Zhuang Haiyang said with some pity: "The big yellow croaker will die when it comes out of the water, this fish is too arrogant." This big yellow croaker should be about a catty. Lao Li, help me bring the incubator. ”
"What? Does this fish still need to be kept warm?"
"Of course not! The incubator has ice cubes, and you will take it with you when you go to sea. If you want to maintain the umami flavor of the large yellow croaker, you must not let it get wet with ice water. Find something to pad and put it in the incubator to keep it fresh. ”
"And this kind of saying? It seems that today, I really have a long insight!"
Zhuang Haiyang was seen opening the incubator, taking out a few spare towels, wrapping the large yellow croaker in the towel, and placing it on the ice cubes covered with plastic wrap. The whole process seems to be very careful, so that people can know at a glance that this fish is expensive.
Huang Xinyan, who was staying on the side, was also very curious: "Fisherman, how much can such a big yellow croaker sell if you sell it?"
Zhuang Haiyang, who faced the inquiry, said with a smile: "The price of this kind of big yellow croaker is definitely more expensive than other sea fish." The price of large yellow croaker is directly proportional to its weight, and the larger the fish, the higher the price. It's so big, about 800 pounds!"
"So, if this fish costs a pound, it can be sold for more than 800 yuan?"
Zhuang Haiyang, who nodded, continued: "That's right! This fish is in complete condition, and it is called a first-class product. If there is too much damage to the tail or scales, the price will be discounted and the fishermen will buy it as a defective product. But the price can also be sold for five or six hundred yuan. ”
"Selling a fish, and so many rules?"
"That's natural! The better the quality of the big yellow croaker, the more expensive it is. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for you to taste the real wild large yellow croaker in the interior. Like our town, as long as there is a big yellow croaker, it will be auctioned by the fishmongers.
It's just that in recent years, big yellow croaker has become more and more rare, and if you want to catch this kind of fish, it really depends on luck. If you want to eat this authentic wild big yellow croaker, in addition to having money, you also have to depend on luck. Most of these good things are ordered directly. ”
"It's so expensive! Fisherman, let's sell this fish! Let's eat it, it's a bit of a waste!"
Listening to what Huang Xinyan said, Zhuang Haiyang said with a smile: "What are you selling it for? Look at me, like the kind of person who lacks one or two thousand yuan? This kind of fish is hard to find, you don't want to taste it, why is this fish so expensive?"
"Xiao Huang, it's okay! We can eat such a fish. It's a rare encounter, don't you want to taste it?"
Compared with Huang Xinyan, who felt that it was too expensive for Zhuang Haiyang, Li Sihai didn't think so. Even if Zhuang Haiyang didn't say that he would accept their money, could it be that they really couldn't give it? Before leaving, just give Zhuang Haiyang a little more room and board expenses.
As Zhuang Haiyang said, they are not short of one or two thousand yuan. The problem is that they live in the city all year round, and even if they have money, they can't eat the big yellow croaker that will be robbed and booked as soon as they come ashore. It's rare to encounter today, so how can you miss it?
Zheng Tianming, who was in charge of driving the boat, also smiled when he heard the conversation outside the boat: "Fisherman, hurry up and retract the hook! I heard that the big yellow croaker is all set out in groups, so is there still one fish below?
"Then I can't guarantee it! If you want to eat this thing, it really depends on your luck!"
are all old users in the live broadcast room, and they have also given Zhuang Haiyang a lot of money. For Zheng Tianming, most of them are not bad money. If you really want to send it to the town to sell, it will make Zheng Tianming and others feel that they are too petty.
Since there is a big yellow croaker in this sea area, if you want to make a small fortune, when these people leave, Zhuang Haiyang will find another opportunity to come over. He believes that as long as the big yellow croaker does not leave the water, there should be a chance to catch them again.
