1814. The stars hang and the sea is broad

The Farewell dragged the drifting island towards the ocean, it was a good day, the sun was full, the sea breeze was light, and although the outdoor temperature was still very low, it was not cold because there was no sea breeze.

Melon and Mink ran around on the deck with their mink sisters, and mink sisters wept and did not dare to move like hairballs, they shrank back, and every time they looked down at the side of the boat by melons, they would close their eyes in fright.

The mink girl probably learned from the sea otter, and when she was scared, she shrank her brain and waved her paws forward, and she was able to cover her eyes with her paws.

Qin's father and Qin's mother laughed when they saw this scene, and Sister Qin reached out to touch Mink Mei's hairy little head and laughed: "Yo, this little thing you raised really has aura, what is it doing?" Scared or shy? ”

Qin Shiou said: "You can help me look at some melons, don't let her throw the two little ferrets into the sea, these two little guys are Winnie's heart, if the melons are thrown down, it is estimated that Winnie can throw the girl into the sea when she goes back." ”

The Farewell went forward and drove for more than two hours, and the Farewell Island felt that it was impossible to see clearly in the distance, so Qin Shiou found a suitable position to anchor and stop the boat, pack up his things and go fishing on the drifting island.

Sister Qin and the others also wanted to go to Drifting Island, he shook his head and said: "It's not okay to fish on this, if you catch a big fish, it's not stable or strong, you stay on the boat, I'll get some moray eels here, and I'll make teriyaki eels for you to eat at night." ”

The species in the fishing ground are very rich, there are almost no endangered catches, and there are not many American eels that have been caught before, Qin Shiou has been doing fishing ban protection for many years, and the protection effect is very good.

He released the Poseidon Consciousness. Look for American eels after spawning. This eel can lay up to five million eggs at a time, after which the female eel dies. So you can catch it and eat it, of course, the taste is a little worse than before spawning. But the bottom is there, this is the top sea delicacies produced in the Atlantic, and the taste is beautiful.

American eels like to live in relatively shallow waters offshore, but they can also be found at a depth of 200 meters, although the sea area where Qin Shiou anchored seems to be far away from the land of Farewell Island and St. John's, it is actually an ocean highland, the water depth is only more than 40 meters, and there are many American eels living here.

After Qin Shiou released his Poseidon consciousness, he soon saw several American eels more than one meter long waving their heads and tails swimming in the water. These fish are the thickness of a young child's wrist, and it is estimated that they have a ten-pound appearance, which is the limit of the growth of American eels.

American eels that can grow to such a large size are basically males, and generally fishing in the sea is to catch males, and females are kept to reproduce, American eels are an exception, and females can be caught, because females will die after spawning. The males should be kept for breeding.

Qin Shiou searched for a while and found an eel more than half a meter long, which was swimming lazily against the sand layer of the seabed, and its mouth slowly opened and closed in search of food. Looks mentally exhausted, this is the female after spawning.

With a Poseidon consciousness, the fish was brought up, and the other Poseidon consciousnesses continued to search. He threw a series of bamboo tubes down, and when he found the females that had spawned, he sent them into the bamboo tubes.

When Xiaohui saw it, he walked over strangely and asked, "Uncle." What are you doing with these bamboo tubes? ”

Qin Shiou rubbed his hands and said, "Guess." ”

Xiaohui thought for a while and said, "I can't guess, I just know that this bamboo tube can be used to make rice." But I don't know what to do in the water, I haven't learned. ”

"It's for catching fish." Shirley explained to him, "Qin wants to catch eels or cartilaginous fish, and they can also be used to catch small tongue soles, but tongue soles rarely come to the surface, so I guess I still want to catch eels, they are like small snakes, they like to burrow into such containers." ”

Xiaohui looked at Shirley out of the corner of his eye, listened to her explanation, and when he noticed that she was looking at herself, he quickly retracted his gaze and pretended to know very well: "Then I understand, I have also used this to catch loaches at home, American eels are eels?" Is the eel a yellow eel, uncle, isn't it? ”

Qin Shiou laughed and said, "No, eels and yellow eels are not the same. ”

"What's the difference?"

"The eel is a pervert, the eel is a pervert, do you know the difference between a pervert and a pervert?" Qin Shi Gull Thief asked with a smile, he deliberately played tricks on this stupid little nephew.

Xiaohui is young, but he is not stupid, he heard what his uncle meant, so he ran away very shyly.

Shirley also knew, but she was used to it, anyway, as long as there was the opposite sex, she was the focus, from five to fifty years old, all killed.

When there is no sea breeze, the winter sea is indeed very charming, it has the feminine beauty of nature, and the vast sea water has no waves, and it is calm as if it is a mirror. Because of the light pollution in winter and the low fluctuation force of ocean currents, the sea water is exceptionally clear, and the afternoon sun shines on the sea, and the blue and orange color blend together, which makes people tremble.

Standing on the boat and looking into the distance, Qin Shiou felt that the bottom of his heart slowly became peaceful, looking at the front was a clean blue, and looking at the back was the same, in any direction around, it was clean and not stained with a trace of dust.

In the afternoon, the sun gradually set in the west, and Qin's father, Qin's mother, Sister Qin, brother-in-law and others did not catch any big fish. But it's not that they haven't encountered big fish, you must know that the fishery resources are very rich, Qin Shiou doesn't know how much fish was caught in the Newfoundland fishery at its peak, but he feels that it is definitely not as much as his own fishing ground now.

He didn't know how many big fish there were, but there were schools of herring and mackerel in the shallow waters, tuna in the deep waters, and tens of thousands of bluefin tuna worth 10,000 gold outside. Of course, most of these bluefin tuna are fry, and the fish have successfully reproduced.

In the middle water layer, there are the most various kinds of cod and flounder, as well as sea bream, salmon, etc., and at the bottom of the sea, there are countless queen crabs, Dungeness crabs, lobsters, sea cucumbers, etc., and the fishery resources are extremely abundant!

They have encountered big fish, but the skills are not up to par, these big fish either broke free from the hook or broke the fishing line, and the strength of Qin's father and Qin's mother is not enough to deal with the big fish, Qin Shiou wanted to help, but they were unwilling.

When they come out to fish, they don't need to get much, they just want to experience the feeling they have in the process, and when Qin Shiou goes to help, they don't have such a sense of harvest.

In winter, the days are short, and soon the sun sets below sea level and a sky full of stars appears in the sky.

The cold moonlight sprinkled down, the shining sea surface became more and more crystal shining, there was no wind at night, the sea surface was calm like a mirror, only the big fish jumped out of the water from time to time to make some sounds.

Faced with such a scene, Qin Shiou couldn't help but have two lines of poetry in his heart:

The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow.

What is fluttering, the sky and the earth are a sand gull. (To be continued.) )
