Chapter 69 Fishing at Sea
"Oh, here it is."
Si Si hurriedly pulled his senses out of his memories, went over to help Lu Yan tidy up the huge fishing net, and then let him slowly lower the water and spread it out slowly in the direction of the current.
"Is that all it takes?"
Si Si was a little curious, this was the first time he had come out to fish! That's it! Fishing is actually very simple!
"Wait a minute! Pull the net up in an hour, it's not over yet! Lu Yan could see Si Si's thoughts at a glance, and he was a little helpless.
"It's going to feel easy, it's because you're still on the go, and if you have to go to sea every day, you'll be bored soon!"
Not soon.
Drifting like this on the sea, the sun gradually became bigger, although Si Si said that he often basks in the field, but the sun on the sea is not as good as the earth, the sun is big, and the sea breeze blows in bursts, which makes people's cheeks hurt.
Even though Si Si specially brought a straw hat and a face towel, she still felt that the fishy smell of the sea breeze blew her mouth bitterly.
"How long is it! Isn't it already possible to close the net? ”
Si Si lay on the side of the boat, one hand reached into the sea water and stirred, and asked Lu Yan boredly.
"It's still early, and it's not even a quarter of an hour before the net is launched! What's the hurry? "I know that this little girl can't help the sea breeze.
But in the end, she still felt sorry for her, Lu Yan looked at Si Si who was really uncomfortable, and said a little unbearably: "If you really can't stand it, we can go back earlier, the left and right are just out to play, and it doesn't matter if there are fish or not." ”
Si Si shook his head and did not agree.
"No, we borrowed a boat early in the morning and ran out, so why don't we get something back! What would it be like to be empty-handed! ”
After a pause, she continued: "It's okay with me, I'm just a little bored, so let's take a nap, you can wake me up later, and we'll get the net together." ”
Without waiting for Lu Yan to refuse, Si Si took the first step to find a comfortable position to lie down, closed his eyes, Lu Yan had no way to take her, and was afraid that she would not sleep well, so he changed his seat and blocked her in front of her, blocking the sun for her.
Actually, Si Si didn't fall asleep, this day is big, it's strange to be able to fall asleep!
But she was really bored, and she didn't want Lu Yan to worry about herself, so she willfully said that she wanted to sleep.
Suddenly feeling that his eyes didn't seem to be so dazzling, Si Si secretly opened his eyes, and found Lu Yan sitting in front of him to shade himself, and his heart suddenly warmed.
Even Sisi didn't know it, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.
"Sisi, Sisi, wake up quickly, it's almost time."
Well?
Si Si opened her eyes in a little confusion, it turned out that before she knew it, she had really fallen asleep. When I woke up, an hour had passed, and it was time to start closing the net.
I just wanted to close my eyes, but why did I really fall asleep? Oops, I am! Love to nibble on books
She was a little annoyed, but she immediately went over to help Lu Yan close the net.
"I didn't expect this bowl to be quite heavy, will there be a lot of fish?" Si Si dragged the net with some difficulty, and said.
When I just put this net down, I didn't feel anything, it was light and fluttering, and the speed of putting it down was quite fast, I didn't expect to pull it up not only heavy, but also slow, as if there were many things under the net.
"That's normal, you have to go against the current when you come up! If you feel tired, you can rest on the side, and I'll do it myself. Lu Yan felt sorry for Sisi, so he proposed that he want her to sit on the side and get sick.
"How can that be?" Si Si thought and refused directly, "How can I let you do the work alone, otherwise wouldn't it be a burden for me to come over." ”
Seeing that she insisted, Lu Yan didn't continue to say anything, but the strength of pulling the net was slightly greater, hoping to pull the net up as soon as possible, so that the people around him could rest for a while.
After all, girls should still be pampered, how can they do these rough jobs? It's good to let yourself be a big man to do this kind of thing.
"Come up, come up, come up!"
Si Si looked at the faintly shining scales under the fishing net, and he suddenly became excited, and even the strength in his hands increased.
"It looks like there are a lot of fish!"
When all the fishing nets were pulled up, the fish inside were almost too much for Si Sile to close his mouth.
Lu Yan threw some of the smaller fish back into the sea, letting them grow up slowly, leaving the big fish that had grown up and putting them all under the fish bilge of the boat.
"It's a lot this time, and it's estimated that there will be thirty or forty pounds." Lu Yan didn't feel much joy when he looked at these fish, but he just looked at Si Sile's appearance that he was about to close his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
Thirty or forty pounds!
Si Si immediately calculated silently in his heart.
Now a pound of fish in the town is about 8 yuan, and at that time 10 pounds of fish was 80 yuan. How can so many fish have more than two taels of silver?
"It's no wonder that at this season, everyone in the village wants to go out to sea to fish, and if you are lucky, you will not have to worry about the food rations for a few months after a trip."
The two of them had also drifted on the sea all morning, and Si Si felt that his stomach was a little hungry by noon.
"No wonder it's all this point, I'm hungry." Si Si covered his belly, and looked at Lu Yan with a pair of eyes blinking.
"Got it, I'll be fine in a minute."
Lu Yan was silent for a moment, and then immediately got ready, first took out two fish they had just caught today from the cabin, cleaned the fins and internal organs, smeared them with the salt they brought, and casually inserted them with two clean bamboo sticks.
It was roasted in a charcoal fire that burned on the ship.
I don't know if it's because I'm really hungry or whatever.
Si Si smelled the smell of grilled fish, and felt that it was much more fragrant than what he usually ate.
