Chapter 22 Collecting the Crab Pots
Liu Xuexia explained to her son with a smile: "We don't want your brothers to turn against each other because of money in the end!" You and the strong cub brothers have a good relationship, we understand. But you will all get married and have your own family. In the future, in your family, it may not be true that the two of you say it counts! So I discussed it with your dad and finally decided to divide the family's money at the beginning! ”
Li Yonglin took over and said: "We will divide the remaining half of the family's income into two shares, one for us to save for the cubs, and one for me and your mother to support the elderly!" In fact, even so, the family's income is much higher than before! ”
Now that his parents have decided, Li Xiaofeng can only reluctantly agree.
Fortunately, now I live next to my parents, and if they are short of money, I can give them to them at any time!
Parents do think long-term.
Although I don't care about these problems, and I believe that my younger brother doesn't care either, but after all, the two brothers will get married in the future, and what will happen in the future, who can say clearly?
Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng took the money his mother transferred to him, and said to them: "Dad, Mom, if you are short of money, just ask me directly, but don't be polite to your son!"
Li Yonglin smiled with satisfaction, patted his son's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you really want to use money, your mother and I won't be polite to you!"
The next morning, Li Xiaofeng and Li Yonglin set off before dawn.
Liu Xuexia stayed at home today, after all, her daughter and son-in-law are coming over, and someone at home needs to receive her.
Li Xiaoqiang called back two days ago and said that he would stay in the company for overtime on the National Day, but he could take a day off and come back after working overtime.
Today the sea is a little rough, but you can still go to sea.
If the wind and waves are a little stronger, a fishing boat like Li Xiaofeng's family will not be able to go to sea.
The bigger the fishing boat, the stronger the resistance to wind and waves.
Due to the wind, the ship drove for two and a half hours today before reaching the sea area where the gillnet was launched yesterday.
Li Xiaofeng was driving the whole process, and Li Yonglin was carefully guiding beside him.
He wants to pass on his decades of sailing experience to his son little by little.
In the process of sailing, Li Xiaofeng also found his own shortcomings.
When the weather is good, there is not much problem with my boat, but today's wind and waves are very strong, and my lack of experience is exposed.
This can only be practiced more in the future.
By the time they reached the area where the gillnets were lowered, both men were already wearing life jackets.
Working at sea in this kind of weather, it is still necessary to pay attention to safety.
Today there are some common fish on the Internet, which are considered normal catches, and there are no surprises.
After collecting all the three gillnets, Li Xiaofeng estimated in his heart that the harvest should be more than 1,500 yuan.
Compared to yesterday, it is a lot less, but if you compare it with other fishermen, the harvest is still quite rich.
After collecting the gillnets, it is time to start the boat to reel in longline.
Due to the erosion of the waves, some longline lines and ropes were entangled, which made it difficult for the two people to collect them.
However, today's weather is no longer suitable for longline fishing. So the two of them directly put it away, and didn't dissolve the fish first. Picking up the fish on the way will also save time.
After the hooks are collected, according to Li Yonglin, it should be able to sell for about 1,200 yuan, which is not bad.
Today, the two of them just found a place to lay down 3 gillnets.
After the gillnets, it's time to collect the crab pots around the island.
In fact, the time under their cage is still short, and many fishermen have to wait at least three days to collect the crab pot.
But who made the price of seafood drop tomorrow?
So the two of them are going to collect it once today, no matter how much, at least they can sell it again at a high price when they go home.
With more than 70 crab pots, pulling them up from the bottom of the sea is not easy.
Finding the buoy and parking the boat, Li Xiaofeng grabbed the rope and pulled the first crab pot of the day out of the sea!
Li Xiaofeng is in charge of pulling the crab pots, and Li Yonglin is in charge of sorting out the fish and tying the crabs.
The harvest in the first cage was good, there were four crabs in the cage, two large and one small stone crabs, the big ones were more than 3 taels left, and the small ones were too small, Li Yonglin threw them directly into the sea.
The other two, one is an orchid crab of about 3 taels, and the other is a blue crab of about 7~8 taels.
It's a pity that there should have been a fight in the cage, and one of the legs of the orchid crab was broken.
The harvest in this cage should be in the small 100 bucks.
Then there was the second cage, in which there was only a half-eaten blue crab and a large octopus weighing 3 catties.
It's okay, although there are no crabs, but octopus can be sold for more than 60 yuan!
Continue to pull, followed by the third cage.
In the cage are more than a dozen large and small conch and a flaming eel of about one and a half catties, and if they are still alive, the flaming eels should be able to sell for 30 yuan.
Continue to pull, this cage is a little surprise.
When I pulled out of the water, I saw that there was a dog shark weighing more than two catties and a red armor red with about three taels in the cage, which was good, not bad! More than 300 yuan in hand.
Then pull, two cages in a row are very crotch-pulling! There were only a few stone crabs and some worthless conch in the cages.
Sighing, Li Xiaofeng could only hope that the next cage would harvest a lot.
Pulled up the 7th cage of the day hard, surprise!
There are two tiger fish in the cage, which should add up to 1 catty, 3 taels ~ 4 taels. Yes, 600~700 yuan will be credited to the account.
Make persistent efforts and continue to pull the crab pot, it's okay, there is a black sea bream of a little more than 1 catty in the cage, and now the price of black sea bream is more than 60, okay.
Another cage was pulled up, and inside the cage was a 7 or 8 double red friend and a few hermit crabs.
Hongyou's recent price is more than 80 yuan a catty, although this is not a pound in weight, and it can't be sold so expensive, but it should be no problem to sell it for 50 yuan.
Pull up another cage with force! This cage is not very good, there are only two Shi Jiugong and a small puffer fish in the cage. The puffer fish is also not big, and it will be thrown into the sea for a while.
Before I knew it, this group of crab pots was finished.
The harvest is abundant, and the harvest of this group of ten crab pots is around 1300.
But Li Xiaofeng always felt that he was not pulling a serious crab pot, there were few crabs, and there were a lot of fish.
After pulling the crab pot, Li Xiaofeng poured the puffer fish out of the crab pot.
Gently poked it twice, and the puffer fish quickly swelled, and with its two front teeth, it looked cute and stupid.
I took it and wiped my shoes twice before throwing it back into the sea.
At this time, Li Yonglin also finished sorting the fish and tied the crabs, but there were indeed few crabs to tie.
The two men drove the boat to the second set of crab pots.
The crab pots at the back were harvested, and by the time all the crab pots were finished, it was almost 1 p.m.
According to Li Yonglin's prediction, there should be more than 5,000 harvests!
Then today's total harvest is about 8,000, and the harvest is full.
The two of them hurriedly ate some food, and quickly found a place to put down the crab pot.
The next thing is to sail back and sell the fish for the last time at a high price!
When I came, I was against the wind, but when I went back, it was a tailwind, and the speed was much faster.
In the end, more than 8,200 fish were sold!
After Li Yonglin finished collecting the money, he directly transferred 4,000 to Li Xiaofeng.
By the time the two of them got home, it was already dark.
