Chapter 101: The First Battle of the Izu Islands

Changing into clean clothes, Hong Tao went downstairs to the living room, Zhou Xiaoli was wearing a light green kimono at this time sitting on the sofa Mrs. Yoko chatting, the two women sat side by side, both wearing wide kimonos, from a distance they looked like two sisters.

Seeing Hong Tao staggering down from the upper floor, Mrs. Yoko covered her mouth and said something to Zhou Xiaoli, and then the two of them ran into the kitchen with a smile, and they definitely didn't say anything good when they saw their eyes.

A few minutes later, Zhou Xiaoli walked out of the kitchen with a wooden tray, she deliberately made a low eyebrow and pleasing expression, then twisted her body, took small steps, came to the coffee table and deliberately knelt down, put the things in the tray on the coffee table in the same way, and stood up with her head down, and left backwards.

“#@¥! %#¥! From the kitchen door, Mrs. Yoko's laughter came, and a few words of Japanese were sandwiched between them, probably to applaud Zhou Xiaoli.

"Well, I'm a pretty fast learner, this is what Mrs. Yoko taught me, and it is said that when she first married here, this is how she served her parents-in-law and husband." As soon as Zhou Xiaoli spoke, the meek and humble little daughter-in-law just now felt immediately swept away.

"Well, it's quite similar to what you learn, but the connotation is still not enough, you have to practice diligently in the future, and it is estimated that you can master the essence of being a woman in three or five years." Hong Tao didn't have time to watch her make a mistake, so he encouraged her a little, then picked up the noodle bowl on the table, and went down half in one bite.

After eating this afternoon meal, Hong Tao and Zhou Xiaoli drove home, and when saying goodbye to Mrs. Yoko, Hong Tao also deliberately pulled Zhou Xiaoli and Mrs. Yoko to make a photo, and a tall young man in a jacket was hugging a woman in a kimono while smiling.

The day after returning from Mt. Fuji, Zhou Xiaoli called again, and she said that the two anglers Muraichi and Yae had finally set a date for going to sea, and on December 1, they asked Hong Tao to get ready, wait in the hotel, and they would come back to pick him up on the day of departure.

Hong Tao also went to sea to play several sea fishing in his previous life, all of which set off by boat from the coastal ports of Jingtang Port, Huanghua, Suizhong, and Dalian, and ran out of Lu for dozens of nautical miles at the farthest. The fish resources in the Bohai Bay are already very scarce, and when you are lucky, you can catch some cod, mackerel, blackhead, yellow croaker, sea bass, and if you are unlucky, you can only catch small trash fish such as small deviation mouth and lenba.

Like Muraichi and Yae, they rented a professional fishing boat and went out to sea for several days, but Hong Tao really hadn't tried it, and the main reason was that he didn't have this environment and conditions. There are many professional fishing boats in Japan, and their owners are both anglers and operators, and these boats are registered with local fishing tackle shops and fishing organizations, and the boat has more catches and good service, and the business of that boat is good, and in order to attract more anglers to rent their own boats, those captains not only have to provide accommodation and catering services for anglers, but also have to use their knowledge of sea fishing to help anglers find fish.

In China, most of the so-called fishing boats are converted from coastal fishing boats, and the hardware conditions are relatively poor; Moreover, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the status of economic interests in the eyes of people is getting higher and higher, and the sense of integrity and service is getting weaker and weaker, which makes the software conditions of the island slightly insufficient; There is a major problem at the end, that is, the environment, the excessive fishing has made the fish resources in China's coastal areas very scarce, without fish, you are driving an aircraft carrier with a British butler, it can only be called tourism, not sea fishing.

The author knows a courier of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose perennial work is to travel between Chinese embassies and consulates all over the world, and I dare not say that he has traveled to all countries in the world, but it is certain that he has traveled all continents. According to him, whether it is developed Europe, North America, developing South America, South Asia, West Asia, or even backward Africa, no place has been so damaged as our country's coastal waters, is it really worth it to pay such a heavy price for economic data?

When Hong Tao was young, Beidaihe was one of the few seaside tourist destinations in the north, when he still remembered getting up in the middle of the night, leaning on his father's back to go to the pigeon's nest to see the sunrise, but the sunrise was basically not seen, because at that time he followed those children in the high tide of the sea to chase those crabs, small fish, and so on until the tide fell, the reef crevices, sand pits everywhere will leave some like sea urchins, sea cucumbers, octopus, crabs or something, as long as you take a small bucket, you can pick up a lot of them.

But now Beidaihe, you go to see again, the five-cent size of small crabs are not easy to find, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, starfish are not to count on, want children to see what wild marine life is basically impossible.

The reason why there are so many complaints, mainly Hong Tao in a small port in Tokyo here was a little stimulated, in the same village one, Yae two fishing friends waiting for the fishing boat, Hong Tao found that there are two Japanese old men with fishing rods on the pier of the trestle, he is very curious about what these two Japanese old men can catch in the dock, so he ran over to look, the results of the observation made him very surprised, these two Japanese old men from the dock of the sea water caught several squid, yellow croaker and some unknown fish, this is off the coast of China, That's unthinkable.

Half an hour later, the boat came, this is a professional fishing boat, about 20 meters long, blue and white, the bridge is very high, like a small turret. The captain is almost the same age as Yae, with gray hair, and according to Zhou Xiaoli, his name is Yuto Ueno, and the ship is also named after him, so it is called "Uenoya".

"Yuto Ueno? It's better not to fool people in Ueno! When Hong Tao saw the small boat and heard the captain's name, his heart kept beating the drum, according to his expectations, the ship should be bigger.

The ship does not look big, only to find that it is not small after going up, the captain of the fool first took everyone to visit his car, from the living cabin under the cockpit to the live fish cabin at the stern, according to him, after the full supply can be for 8 people to live at sea for 10 days.

After slowly leaving the dock, Captain Ueno began to go berserk and drove the boat as fast as he could. It was winter, and although the temperature in Tokyo Bay was basically above freezing, the sea breeze and splashes on the face were still very uncomfortable, and Hong Tao wanted to take a picture on the bow of the boat, but he didn't stay for 2 minutes before running back to the cabin.

The destination of this trip is the Izu Islands outside Tokyo Bay, which is one of the larger islands in the Izu Islands to be precise, called Miyake Island. It is more than 150 kilometers away from Tokyo Bay, and depending on the speed of the Uenoya boat, it takes about 4 hours to drive. Actually, there is an airport on Miyake Island, and there are flights from Tokyo's Haneda Airport, and it is cheaper than renting a boat to get there, but Muraichi and Yae stubbornly believe that you have to take a boat to go fishing.

During this season, the trenches near Miyake Island and near the shipwreck are rich in a deep-sea fish called kanhachi, which can weigh hundreds of pounds and is perfect for sashimi, so the Japanese love to catch this fish.

Hong Tao took the fishing album full of Japanese and looked at it for a long time, and finally determined what kind of fish this "Kanbaqi" is, this fish is called Honggan or Zhanghong in China, and the English name is YELLOWTAILFISH. The body of this fish is spindle-shaped, the two ends are pointed and the middle is bulging, and the tail fin is similar to the fork of a tuna, it likes to live in the middle of the reef on the bottom of the sea, and it does not swim very quickly, but it has a large amount of force, and mainly feeds on fish, and its favorite food is hairtail.

More than an hour after leaving the pier, the Uenoya began to jolt significantly, indicating that the boat had left Tokyo Bay and began to enter the vast Pacific Ocean, where the swells were larger than in the calm bay, and the high-speed boats were basically jumping on the crests of the waves.

"Uh......" Zhou Xiaoli couldn't bear it first, she had already run to the bathroom 3 times, seasickness made her face more and more pale, she had no choice but to take 1 tablet of seasickness medicine, half leaning on the sofa, pillowing Hong Tao's thighs, groggy as if she was asleep.
