Chapter 21 Collecting Fishing Nets

At 4:30 a.m. the next day, Li Xiaofeng, who was still asleep, was woken up by Liu Xuexia.

By the time he got up, the meal was ready.

I washed my face before I was completely sober!

Today I have to rush early in the morning to collect the nets and longlines that were laid yesterday.

After a hurried breakfast, a family of three came to the dock with tools.

Although it is not yet dawn, the wharf is already full of fishermen.

Many of these figures had just returned this morning after fishing at sea all night last night.

Life is not easy for everyone!

Got on the boat, the engine, and with the roar of the diesel engine, the fishing boat sailed out into the vast sea.

Li Xiaofeng, who was sailing against the sea breeze, couldn't help but shudder!

It's already October, and it's the beginning of autumn!

The fishing boat drove at full speed on the sea for more than two hours before it came to the place where the net was lowered yesterday.

By this time it was completely light.

Find yesterday's buoy and start closing the net.

Li Yonglin is responsible for driving the boat, Li Xiaofeng is responsible for collecting the net, and Liu Xuexia is responsible for untying the fish from the net.

After pulling a few meters in a row, she didn't even see a small trash fish, and Liu Xuexia couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After a few more meters, the harvest finally began.

A small mullet is struggling in the net, and then it is collected forward, and it is another mullet, followed by an orchid crab, there are 2~3 taels, but the fat is okay.

Continuing to collect them, the two small stone crabs were too small, and Liu Xuexia threw them directly back into the sea.

Then close the net, two half-pound aconitum are okay.

Then there was another silver pomfret of about 1 catty, this one is okay, and it is connected to the fish.

Or don't come, and come in succession!

Then there was a silver pomfret of about half a catty and a perch of about 1 catty.

continued to collect, and there were no fish for several meters.

Then there was a blue crab of about half a catty, and then pulled, two stone nine males, a black sea bream of about 1 catty, and then two small yellow croakers......

After a while, the first net was finished.

According to conservative estimates, the first network should be able to sell for about 300 yuan.

After a four-month fishing ban, the fish resources on the seabed have indeed been restored to a certain extent.

Then drive forward to collect the second net that was laid down yesterday.

This is also the first net that Li Xiaofeng commanded yesterday!

Found the buoy and began to reel in the net.

As the net was closed, Liu Xuexia couldn't help but secretly praise the net.

At the beginning, I pulled up 3 prawns, with an average of only 2 taels of prawns, and then 5 silver pomfret in a row, the big one weighed 1 and a half catties, and the small one also had 3~4 taels.

Continue to pull the fishing net, and there are no fish for more than 3 meters in a row.

Finally came to fish, a perch weighing 5 catties, still struggling fiercely on the Internet, which should not have been hanging on the net for a long time.

Then pull forward, and there is an orchid crab weighing more than 1 catty, and then another orchid crab, which weighs 5~6 taels.

Then there was a 1 Jin Gu eel of about 1 catty, and another mermaid of about half a catty.

There was another 3 taels of saury, followed by two Shi Jiugong.

Continue to pull, there are three Shi Jiugong in a row, this is the nest of Shi Jiugong.

Don't look at Shi Jiugong, although the fish is not big, the stewed soup is still quite delicious.

Then there is another stone sea bream of about 1 catty, why is there a coconut snail, the coconut snail should weigh 3 catties.

Keep closing the net! ……

After a while, the second net was finished.

This net is much higher than the previous one.

Liu Xuexia calculated that this net can be sold for at least more than 700.

Then go and collect the third net!

This is also the highest net of the day.

The main thing is that this net caught 1 dog shark of about 2 catties, and 3 tiger fish that add up to 2 catties.

As a rough estimate, the catch of this net is more than 1,600 yuan.

It's really rich!

Looking at the catch in front of them, Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia couldn't help but blossom with joy.

In the past, there were so many harvests in the nets, and even sometimes the catches that came out were not enough for oil money!

This also made the two more convinced that Li Xiaofeng really had a sixth sense.

After collecting the nets, there are still three baskets of longline fishing waiting for them!

The longline harvest was not too much of a surprise, but it was quite good.

After the three baskets of longline fishing are harvested, Liu Xuexia estimates that it should be able to sell for about 2,000 yuan!

After all, you can't expect surprises every time.

Even if Li Xiaofeng has a map, he has to take the bait and not run!

It is worth mentioning that when collecting the second basket of longline fishing, Li Xiaofeng found a big manta ray weighing more than 30 catties in the water next to the fishing boat!

Li Xiaofeng stood directly on the boat and shot at it, and it was a shot!

In the end, the manta struggled for more than twenty minutes before pulling it up.

The price of manta rays is not too expensive, about 30 more in their place.

But it's heavy, and this manta ray can be sold for about 1,000 yuan.

This is also a windfall for today.

Once the gillnets and longlines have been harvested, they have to find a place to continue to go into the sea.

When the fishermen are busy, they really don't dare to stop for a moment!

Li Xiaofeng studied the map for a while, and finally let him find a suitable place.

Although some places are suitable, they have been taken off the net by others.

By the time the gillnets and longlines were down, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, it seemed a little early to go back, so Li Xiaofeng suggested that his parents go to a desert island not far ahead to catch the sea.

From the map, there are still a lot of crabs and conch on the island.

The three of them drove the boat, and it didn't take long for them to come to this small island.

Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin were catching the sea on the island, while Li Xiaofeng was fishing under the sea around the island.

By the time the two of them had walked around the island, it had been more than an hour.

A total of more than 5 catties of crabs were caught on the island, which is very good, and it is estimated that it can be sold for more than 300 yuan.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng's harvest underwater is even better.

Underwater, he came across a school of golden pomfret. After hitting 6 in a row, the fish escaped, and the 6 should add up to more than 20 catties.

Now the wild golden pomfret is about 65 pounds in their place, and it is more than 1,300 to buy.

However, the price of this fish will continue for another day tomorrow at most.

The day after tomorrow, some fishing boats that specialize in buying seafood from the back of big ships will return to Hong Kong, and fish prices will continue to fall.

until it is lowered to a reasonable position and holds.

With today's harvest, Li Yonglin drove the boat at full speed and galloped away in the direction of the town.

But not all of today's fish are sold.

Tomorrow, my brother-in-law will send my sister and Xiao Nuomi over, and they will stay for a few days.

So some of today's catch should be kept and tomorrow will be entertained.

By the time the three of them returned from selling the fish, it was already completely dark.

It's really dark to start and come back after dark!

When Li Xiaofeng came out of the shower, Liu Xuexia stopped him and took her mobile phone to transfer 10,000 yuan to him!

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly asked, "Mom, why are you transferring money to me?" ”

Liu Xuexia smiled and said, "I just discussed with your father, and we took advantage of you last month." From this month onwards, all the money you earn from fishing will be your own, and half of your family's income from boats and seas will be shared with you! ”

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "Mom, we don't need to be so separated!" ”

Li Yonglin also took over the conversation next to him, and said with a smile: "You don't mind, but we or the strong cubs can't take advantage of you like this!" ”
