Chapter 53: The Joy of Fishing

While many people are still asleep, the industrious fishermen have already raised fishing fires on the vast sea. Even if the sea is dark at the moment, fishermen who get up early to catch the sea can always find other fishing boats going out to sea at sea.

Even though Nanshan Island hangs alone in the open sea, Concubine Li, who is in charge of driving the boat, can still see the lights of fishing boats flashing from time to time in the distance. Scenes like this, once upon a time in a fishing village, she could often see the scene of going out to sea in the dark.

Looking at Zhuang Haiyang, who was hooking into the sea, and Concubine Li, who was holding the rudder, couldn't help but think of the fishing villages in the past, those fishing husband and wife stalls. Every time a husband and wife go to sea together, the appearance of being busy at sea should be no different from her at the moment, right?

Thinking of this, Concubine Li's face was a little more ruddy. Recalling the pictures that came up in her mind before she fell asleep last night, Concubine Li also hurriedly shook her head and said secretly: "Why are you thinking cranky again!"

Zhuang Haiyang, who didn't know this, threw the two baskets of hooks with the bait into the sea area where the fishing boat sailed. Returning to the cockpit, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

"It's all right! This boat seems to be better than a wooden boat with a motor. ”

"Most of those boats can only operate in the near sea. My ship can sail in the open sea. The most important thing is that even on rainy days, my boat can go to sea. Ordinary fishing boats can't go to sea on a rainy day, right?"

"Well, that's right! Brother Ocean, what are we going to do next?"

"It's good to put down the hook, let's close the hook when it gets dawn." While there's still time, I'll take you to grouper fishing. I'm going to go to town tomorrow and bring some catches with me. In addition to earning some gas money, I also increased my income a little by the way. ”

"Well, then you can open it!"

Concubine Li, who is very sensible and lets out the rudder, is still standing in the cockpit chatting with Zhuang Haiyang. Compared with staying outside the ship to blow the sea breeze, Concubine Li felt more comfortable staying in the cockpit. It's really nice to have someone to keep you company!

When Zhuang Haiyang drove the boat, he came to the vicinity of a desert island where he often fished, and searched carefully before he began to turn on and off the engine. Take Concubine Li to the deck, find out the fishing line that she often fishes, and start preparing to fish for underwater grouper.

Concubine Li, who was squatting next to her, was also curious: "This hook is so big!"

"It's better to be bigger! small groupers don't sell for a price, so it's better to let them live a few more years." Big hooks catch big fish, and the price is also more expensive. ”

"Well, when I was a child, I also watched the people in the village catch grouper directly with you like this. It's just that in recent years, it's rare to see anyone catching grouper in the sea. Where there used to be fish, now there are no fish. ”

Regarding what Concubine Li said, Zhuang Haiyang also agreed: "In fact, the situation is similar in various places along the coast, Nanshan Island is farther from the inland, so there are really a lot of groupers living in the reef area here."

Those who love to fish for grouper will take two or three hours just to drive over, and if they can catch it, it will be fine, but if they can't, they will lose even the oil money. After a long time, there will naturally be fewer people who dare to drive a boat to fish here. ”

In the eyes of others, Nanshan Island is isolated in the open sea, and it is inconvenient to connect with the mainland. But in Zhuang Haiyang's opinion, if this is not the case, why would he move back to his hometown?

After hanging the bait, Zhuang Haiyang pointed to the net next to him and said, "Wait a minute, you are responsible for copying the fish, okay?"

"Okay, are there a lot of groupers in this place?"

"Okay! You know, groupers are hard to catch with nets. In particular, this kind of grouper that lives in the reef area can only be caught by fishing. Maybe that's why they're more expensive!"

"Seems to make sense!"

Under normal circumstances, fishing should require a relatively quiet environment. But for Zhuang Haiyang, he was worried that Concubine Li was too boring, so he also used both things, sensing the fishing line in his hand while talking to Concubine Li from time to time.

Feeling the fishing line in his hand instantly sink and tighten, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "There is a fish!"

Hearing this, Concubine Li was stunned and said, "So fast?"

It seems to take less than a minute from throwing the hook to the middle fish. The speed of this fishing really made her feel a little fast. Fortunately, it was a joy to have a fish on the bait, and her eyes began to focus on the sea beside the boat.

Looking at Zhuang Haiyang, who began to pull the line and slip the fish, Concubine Li, who had already caught the net in her hand, was also waiting to copy the fish that came out of the water at any time. For her, this kind of thing is still very skillful.

Wait until Zhuang Haiyang opened his voice and said, "Princess, get ready! I'm going to start reeling the line!"

"Hmm!"

Placing the net on the sea, Concubine Li also stared at the fishing line that was constantly being pulled up. When she saw the grouper that surfaced, Concubine Li was also very quick to copy the net and copy it into the net pocket in the direction of the fish's head.

Feeling the grouper struggling in the net, Concubine Li was also very happy: "Brother Haiyang, this fish is so big!"

"It's okay! Look at this amount, it should be more than three catties, less than four catties. A few hundred dollars, and it's in hand again!"

Hearing what Zhuang Haiyang said, Concubine Li also smiled and said: "No wonder people who watch your live broadcast think that making money is the same as picking up money." I'll pick up the fish, okay?"

"Okay, though, be careful not to get stabbed by the fins. Once you've got it, just throw it in the water tank. ”

"yes, got it!"

Since the fisherwoman sold her fishing boat, Concubine Li has not gone to sea to fish for many years. More often than not, they follow the fisherwoman to make dried fish for others, or do some odd jobs such as weaving nets. And today, she is experiencing the joy of childhood.

Unhooked the fishhook, looking at the grouper lying on the board of the boat from time to time, Concubine Li also had a childlike seizure, and stretched out her finger and poked it from time to time. Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang just smiled, grabbed a live shrimp and continued to hang the bait.

When the game was almost over, Concubine Li grabbed the weak grouper and threw it into the water tank on the boat. Seeing the grouper that lives when it encounters water, Concubine Li also feels that this kind of life has not been experienced for a long time.

In the following period, Zhuang Haiyang once again showed amazing fishing skills. Looking at the sea fish being pulled out of the water, Concubine Li also felt very happy. In her eyes, each fish is a few large hundred-dollar bills!

It wasn't until the sky was bright and Zhuang Haiyang, who looked at the sea, that he said, "Princess, prepare to collect the row hook." As soon as the sun comes out, groupers are not very easy to catch. Go back early, otherwise the three little ones in the family will be hungry. ”

"Hmm!"

When she finished fishing and started the fishing boat to return to the place where she had previously lowered the hook, Concubine Li began to count the grouper that had been thrown into the water tank. Compared with the new boat, the water tank is clean, but at the moment there are more than 20 groupers of different sizes.

Seeing such a harvest in just over an hour, Concubine Li finally realized why those users in the live broadcast room would say that they worked hard for a month, and it was not as good as Zhuang Haiyang's income from fishing at sea for a day!

When she looked at Zhuang Haiyang in the cockpit, Concubine Li also said with admiration: "Brother Haiyang, it's amazing!"

As a child who grew up in a fishing village, Concubine Li naturally knew that fishing grouper with a hand hook required very exquisite craftsmanship. In particular, it is extremely important to choose the place to take the bait. If you don't choose the right one, you won't be able to catch a single fish in a day.

It's just that when she began to cooperate with Zhuang Haiyang and put away the row hook that she had put down before, looking at the sea fish that were pulled up from time to time, Concubine Li also had a feeling that her eyes couldn't see it. If you have this kind of income every day, making money is indeed the same as picking up money!
