Chapter 6 Mackerel Schools
It turned out that the map showed that there were dense red dots in the small river ahead.
Li Xiaofeng zoomed in and saw that it was all mackerel.
This is a school of mackerel!
Not when I saw it before, this group of fish must have just swam up from the sea along the small river.
Li Xiaofeng roughly estimated, how can there be more than 2,000!
In fact, a school of thousands of mackerel can only be regarded as a small school of mackerel.
There are hundreds of thousands of large mackerel stocks, and they rely on each other to defend themselves against predators.
At this time, Li Xiaofeng couldn't care about looking for other sea goods.
Carrying the bucket, he ran to the edge of the creek.
When I got to the riverside, I looked into the river, and the river was densely packed with fish with a body length of about 25-50 cm, spindle-shaped, and a blue-black back.
This is exactly what they call the mackerel here as a skewer of black.
Mackerel is a migratory fish, and now September is their fattest season.
This should be a group of fish that have just strayed into the small river, just entered the tidal flat, when Li Xiaofeng looked at the map, there was no such group of fish in the river.
Because of its delicious taste and rich nutrition, mackerel is loved by people on their side.
In them, they are known as "mountain partridge roe lier, sea food horse mackerel pomfret".
Usually, mackerel is only more than 40 yuan a pound in their place.
But now you must know that it is the fishing ban period, especially at the end of the fishing ban period, and the fish in the cold storage are basically sold out.
The price of all kinds of seafood is rising.
Now the wild mackerel on the market has been sold for more than 80 yuan a catty.
I'm really rich now!
Li Xiaofeng suddenly thought of something, and shouted loudly to Liu Xuexia while running in the direction of the mouth of the river.
"Mom, Mom! Come here! ”
Hearing her son's shout, Liu Xuexia in the distance thought that her son was injured, and she didn't carry the bucket, so she hurried over and ran over in a panic.
"Mom, look at the river!" Li Xiaofeng said anxiously.
Liu Xuexia looked into the river and was instantly stunned.
On the surface of the river that is not wide, there are dense strings of black seeds, how many must there be!
"Mom, hurry up and call my dad and ask him to ask for leave and drive the boat over! There are so many fish, we can't catch them all, and there's nowhere to put them! Li Xiaofeng said anxiously.
Liu Xuexia woke up like a dream at this time, hurriedly took out the phone, and called Li Yonglin.
As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Xuexia said anxiously: "Hurry up and ask Boss Li for a leave of absence, and drive the boat to the direction of the East Tidal Flat!" Well, it's the tidal flat with a small river connected to the sea. Your son found a group of black birds in the river, and the river was densely packed with fish, estimated to be in the thousands! ”
Li Yonglin, who was on the other end of the phone, also gasped when he heard this, and said decisively: "Okay, you wait there, I'll ask for leave immediately!" ”
Seeing his mother hang up the phone, Li Xiaofeng hurriedly said, "Mom! Let's build a dam here to prevent them from swimming back into the sea! ”
"Yes, we need to build a dam quickly, if they swim back into the sea, they will be in vain!" Liu Xuexia replied anxiously.
The two of them hurriedly went down to the small river, fortunately the river was only more than 1 meter deep, and the shallow places near the sea were only 50~60 cm deep.
Otherwise, relying only on the two of them, there is really no way to build the dam.
First of all, I chose a place where the river channel is relatively narrow.
The two of them began to bring in some stones, dug up some sediment on the shore, and began to build the dam in a hurry.
After half an hour, when the dam was finally built, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the fish couldn't run anymore.
At this time, Liu Xuexia realized that her bucket was still in the place where she had just run over.
"Fengcub, you're watching here, Mom went over and brought the bucket!" Liu Xuexia said to Li Xiaofeng.
"Okay, Mom, hurry up and bring the bucket over, I'll take the net and catch it first!"
In this way, after waiting for more than half an hour, when Li Yonglin arrived, the two buckets brought by his family were already full of fish, and some that he really couldn't put down, and they were thrown into the small puddles of the tidal flats, jumping around.
Li Yonglin was also overjoyed when he looked at so many fish.
He first transferred the fish from the shore and the barrels to the living water tank on the fishing boat, and then joined the fishing team with the fishing nets borrowed from the fish rafts.
It's time to hurry, and there will definitely be other seafarers coming in a while.
Although you found the fish and you built the dam, this is a public area, so why don't you let others catch fish?
The three of them were in full swing.
The fish is first fished into a bucket, and when the bucket is full, it is transferred to the living water tank on the fishing boat by the sea.
After a while, the living water tank will be full, so put it directly in the cabin!
In this way, he continued to catch for more than two hours.
At least a thousand fish have been caught.
The cabin, which is more than 8 meters long, is almost full!
There should be almost 3 tons of fish, you must know that this small fishing boat of Li Xiaofeng's family is more than 4 tons when fully loaded!
At this time, people on the tidal flats have begun to come intermittently, and the movement here quickly attracts some people to come.
When I saw the mackerel in the river, no one said a kind word at this time, so I hurriedly jumped into the water, either with a net, or with my bare hands and began to catch the fish.
Of course, there are also people who shake people with phones.
As time passed, there were more and more people in the river, and fewer and fewer fish were caught.
Looking at the more and more people in the river, the family of three could only stop helplessly.
At this time, the three of them glanced at each other, and Liu Xuexia couldn't help but laugh first.
The heads, faces, and clothes of the three people were covered with muddy water, just like three mud monkeys!
The three people who stopped also felt back pain at this time.
After catching fish for more than 4 hours in a row, Li Xiaofeng was so tired that he couldn't straighten up at this time.
"Mom! Now there are too many people, and there are not many fish, let's go back! Li Xiaofeng suggested.
Liu Xuexia also felt that it was time to go back.
The three of them discussed it and arranged for Li Xiaofeng to ride a battery car and bring back the bucket and other sea-catching tools first.
Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia drove the boat directly to the town to sell the fish caught today.
Li Xiaofeng, who was riding a bicycle on the way home, also saw people riding bicycles, carrying buckets, holding nets, and rushing in the direction of the tidal flats from time to time.
The news of the appearance of mackerel in the eastern tidal flat has spread in several nearby villages.
Li Xiaofeng, who returned home, was tired and hungry, but he still insisted on using solar energy and took a hot bath.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Li Xiaofeng was exhausted.
I really didn't want to cook, so I rode a battery car to the commissary at the entrance of the village and bought some cold dishes.
When I arrived at the commissary, the boss was not there, only the proprietress was there.
The proprietress said that he also went to catch fish in the east tidal flat.
There were too many people in the river just now, and Li Xiaofeng really didn't notice it.
On the way back, there were people pointing at his back all the way.
Some people say that their family caught a lot of fish today and made a fortune, and there is also a saying that their family is not kind, they only know that their family catches fish, and they don't notify the people in the village to go over......
Li Xiaofeng really wanted to fan them, when they went out to sea and found a school of fish, they didn't see them notify their home!
