Captain Maruyama called his brother, and the two men turned one of the booms on the ship, then fixed the rope to the wire rope of the boom and began to start the winch. The underwater rope was slowly rolled up by the winch, and there was more and more seaweed on the rope, and it seemed that the time spent soaking in the bottom of the sea was not short.

"Bang dang!" As the sound of the winch became higher and higher, Hong Tao clearly felt what heavy objects should be hung under the rope, this small winch is used by fishing boats to lift the caught large fish from the sea water to the deck, the lifting capacity should be more than 1 ton, listening to its reluctant moaning, indicating that the weight of the underwater weight is not small.

The two Maruyama brothers saw that the winch was a little difficult, so they hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the rope to help drag it together, Hong Tao and Muraichi also went up to help, and dragged it for a while, and from the side of the boat, they could already see that there was a black thing under the water slowly floating up.

"I'm a god!! This is the legendary crab cage, right? When the underwater monster completely surfaced, Hong Tao finally knew what it was.

The crab trap is a cage more than half a meter long, more than 1 foot high, and more than 1 foot wide welded by a finger-thick steel wire. When used, fishermen connect dozens or even hundreds of these cages with thick cables in a large string, put minced fish meat in a small net pocket in the middle of the cage, throw them into the sea, and tie a large float at the end to determine the position.

After the cage sinks to the bottom of the sea, marine animals such as crabs and lobsters will be attracted by the minced fish in the cage and burrow into the cage from that entrance to eat, but this is probably their last big meal, because they have not yet learned how to find the exit, and the exit is funnel-shaped, easy to get in, difficult to get out.

After waiting for half a day or one day, the fishermen will follow the instructions of the float to return to the place where the crab pot is lowered, and then hook the rope to fish the crab pot out of the seabed, and then the crabs and lobsters in the cage will become the fishermen's trophies.

However, there are some setbacks to this way of crab fishing, such as some floats may be accidentally scraped off by other boats passing by, or if there are trawlers working in the sea area where you put your crab pots, then your crab pots will be pulled away by the trawls, or they will be harvested by the trawlers, or they will fall off again without knowing where they are pulled, and they will sink to the bottom of the sea and never be able to catch them.

The crab pots that Hong Tao found were probably ordered by fishermen on the island of Okinawa, and then scraped here by some boat, and then inadvertently hung up by Hong Tao's hooks, making them see the light of day again.

"Ah, lobsters, look, look, so many lobsters, and crabs!" As the first crab pot was lifted to the deck, two large crabs and several red lobsters were held in the cage, which caused Zhou Xiaoli to cheer.

But as the cages were lifted to the deck one after another, Zhou Xiaoli couldn't care about cheering, she also put on gloves to help pull out seafood from the cage, she didn't dare to mess with the big crabs, and she was still not afraid of those small Japanese lobsters.

When the fifth cage was lifted to the deck, the cage below was really unable to be pulled, and it was estimated that it was likely to be stuck in the crack of the rock, everyone looked at the harvest on the deck, and decided not to pull it up anymore, the current harvest was enough for the whole ship to eat 2 meals, Captain Maruyama pulled out a knife from his belt, and cut the cable in one fell swoop.

Thinking that something had happened, they quickly ran to the deck, only to see four big men and a woman catching crabs and lobsters all over the deck, so they also joined the warband.

After counting, there are a total of 11 crabs, 6 ringed lobsters weighing more than 3 catties, a lot of Japanese lobsters that are more than long, in addition to 2 octopuses and a number of sea urchins, which can be regarded as a lot of harvest, don't look at the small number of crabs, but each one is as big as a big soup pot, although it has a body of spikes, it doesn't look good, but think about the white and tender crab meat wrapped under their armor, Hong Tao can't help but drool.

In addition to these seafood, the five crab pots are also a small income, and these cages are not old after cleaning, and they can be used directly when they return to Okinawa, whether they are sold to local fishermen or kept for their own use, which is considered a tip from Captain Maruyama.

I didn't eat serious seafood at noon, but in the evening, Captain Maruyama deliberately showed his hand, and there were 3 ways to eat crab alone, including grilled food, raw crab dipped in Japanese soy sauce, crab meat shabu food, and then lobster sashimi, lobster noodles or something.

Hong Tao loves to eat crabs the most, especially this kind of big sea crab is his favorite, he thinks this kind of crab with a lot of meat is delicious, and the river crab or something is simply too troublesome, and he can't get a bite of meat for a long time. However, there are also dishes in this big table that he doesn't dare to say he doesn't want to eat, that is, octopus whiskers, but raw, and I don't know how to deal with them in Maruyama, the original gray octopus whiskers are now a little transparent, but looking at a few soft and collapsed things and the suction cups are still moving, Hong Tao seems to see several slugs on the plate, not to mention eating, it will affect his appetite after a few more glances.

But these Japanese all regard that thing as a good thing, and after letting Hong Tao find out several times that he really doesn't eat it, they will give it one by one, even Zhou Xiaoli, a girl, has eaten one, watching the big snot slip in from between her red lips, and a picture immediately appeared in Hong Tao's mind: behind the two of them making love at night, the big snot replaced her tongue......

After dinner, it was completely dark, Hong Tao made a pot of hot tea for everyone, everyone sat on the back deck of the boat, while blowing the sea breeze, while drinking hot tea, those who were willing to chat were communicating with difficulty in different languages, and those who were not willing to chat counted the stars by themselves.

The temper of the sea is very much like that of a woman, and it is said that it will change without warning! Since the second half of the night, the west wind has blown on the sea, and the swell has also risen, Hong Tao had slept well, but he was awakened by urine, and it is estimated that he drank too much tea before going to bed. After waking up at night, Hong Tao could no longer sleep, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the side of the ship and the whining of the wind blowing through the ropes, he was still a little afraid, just now he went to the deck in a daze, and almost threw the sway of the ship into the sea. Then Hong Tao didn't dare to go to the boat anymore, so he lay on the bed in a daze, and stayed up until the Maruyama brothers told everyone to get up for breakfast.

The weather in the morning was a little better than at night, the wind and waves were not so strong, but compared to the day before, it was still a sky and an underground, and now to walk from the stern to the bow of the boat, you had to hold on to the railing to prevent yourself from being shaken by the hull, and the Maruyama ship had personally checked whether the life jackets on everyone's bodies were qualified, and then forbade everyone to stay on the deck, but divided into 2 batches, taking turns to wait on the deck, and those on the deck must fix the safety hook on the back of the life jacket to the railing to prevent accidental overboard.

Hong Tao and Captain Ueno were assigned as a group, and the two of them would go on deck to guard the fishing rods at even times, and the first to go on deck were Yae and Muraichi, and Zhou Xiaoli, as the only woman on the ship, was given special care, and she could voluntarily choose when to go on deck.

However, although the weather has become less lovely, Captain Maruyama has good news, that is, this kind of weather is more suitable for trolling, because the fake bait dragged between the waves is more likely to attract the attention of the sailfish, and with the cover of the waves, it is more difficult for the sailfish to tell the difference between fake and real bait.

The next day's trolling started on time at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the first wave to go to the combat post was Yae and Muruichi, the two of them plus one of the Maruyama brothers, forming a standard trolling group, and when he went to the deck, Mr. Yae also deliberately patted Hong Tao's shoulder, presumably meaning to let Hong Tao not worry, but Hong Tao felt that their expressions and movements were very similar to going out to blow up the bunker.

Others fishing, waiting by themselves, this 1 hour time is very bad, Hong Tao always has auditory hallucinations, he always feels that people outside seem to be fishing, always want to go out to see. In order to alleviate Hong Tao's anxious mood, Zhou Xiaoli proposed to teach Hong Tao to speak Japanese, and then asked Hong Tao to teach Captain Ueno to speak Chinese, so that the three of them had something to do, and they did not feel that time was difficult.
