Chapter 27: The Crab Colony
The gale, which had been going on at sea for several days, finally stopped!
After breakfast, with tools, the family of three is ready to sail again!
After all, they haven't been out to sea for several days, and the wind has been blowing for a few days, Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin are still quite worried about their fishing nets!
On such a windy day, the nets are not only easy to get entangled, but sometimes they are swept up by the waves and don't know where to go!
What are you afraid of, what is coming!
When I got to the place where the gillnet was lowered, the form was really not good!
The first gillnet was swept together by the wind!
Fishing nets tens of meters long are tangled in a ball, and now there is simply no way to untie them at sea! There are also very few catches in the fishing nets!
Now I can only put away the fishing nets and take them home to untie them slowly.
Of course, fishing nets are reluctant to be thrown, how can such a fishing net cost hundreds of dollars, and few fishermen are willing to throw it!
After the nets were put away, the three of them sailed to the place where the second gillnet was lowered, and the form was not very good!
Although the nets are not as serious as the first one, they will not be untied in a while!
There are 2 yellow sea breams of more than a pound on the net, but unfortunately because they have not been harvested for too long, the fish has stinked!
I have received two packages of fishing nets in a row, but there is basically no harvest until now, and the faces of Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin are not very good-looking.
Don't talk about manpower or anything, this time the cost of going to sea for oil will be hundreds!
Do you want the Air Force to go back today?
The three of them drove the boat, and in a short time they came to the location of the last gillnet!
Finally saw a bag of fishing nets that weren't so miserable!
Although it was also affected by high winds, the problem was not serious!
What's more, with Li Xiaofeng's fishing net, there are a lot of pike crabs on the net.
At this time, Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin's faces finally improved!
Li Xiaofeng suddenly said to Liu Xuexia: "Mom, you and Dad are slowly closing the net here, and I'll go to the sea to take a look!" I feel like there are still a lot of crabs in the sea! ”
"Okay, be safe when you go down!" Liu Xuexia instructed!
"Okay, Mom, don't worry!"
In this way, Li Yonglin stopped the ship and took over Li Xiaofeng's work.
After a while, Li Xiaofeng changed his equipment and jumped off the boat!
When I came to the bottom of the sea, it was like seeing it from the map, and this seabed was full of pike crabs! This is supposed to be a small colony of pike crabs!
In addition to the pike crabs crawling on the sand on the bottom of the sea, Li Xiaofeng also found more pike crabs lying in the sand!
The pike crabs hidden under the sand form small bulges on the bottom of the sea, densely packed!
There's nothing to say, it's all money, let's get it!
Hold down the back cover of a crab that is foraging with your right hand, and open the mouth of the net pocket with your left hand and put it in.
In this way, Li Xiaofeng caught one by one pike crabs at the bottom of the sea, especially the pike crabs lying in the sand, which is basically equal to not moving, very easy to catch, put his hand into the sand, and catch one by one!
In a short time, the net bag will be full!
Carrying a full harvest, Li Xiaofeng swam to the fishing boat above!
When they swam to the side of the boat, Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin were still busy untying and tying crabs, and only half of the net was collected.
Seeing her son swimming over, Liu Xuexia hurriedly took the bag full of crabs handed over by Li Xiaofeng, and at this time, the two of them finally put their minds at ease.
There really are a lot of crabs on the bottom of the sea, and it doesn't seem that today's harvest will be too bad!
"Mom, hurry up and pour out the crabs, I'll go down again, there's a lot more down there!" Li Xiaofeng hurriedly urged Liu Xuexia to say.
Hearing that there were more crabs below, Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin both looked happy!
"Okay, then you can go down and catch it!" Liu Xuexia quickly poured the crab into the cabin and handed the net pocket to her son!
Li Xiaofeng took the net bag and dived underwater again!
When Li Xiaofeng handed over the pike crab in the third net, Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin finished untying the crab in the gillnet.
Seeing another bag of crabs handed over by her son, Liu Xuexia hurriedly asked, "Are you tired of Fengcub, how many are there below?"
"It's okay, I can hold on, the bottom of the sea is densely packed, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of catties!"
Hearing that there were hundreds of catties of crabs under the seabed, both of them couldn't help but be happy!
Although the price of pike crab has fallen by 40% compared with before the opening of the sea, it is still quite valuable!
The bigger the crab, the more valuable it is, just the price of about half a catty of pike crab is enough to sell for 60 yuan a catty, and about 4 taels can also be sold for 40 yuan a catty. Of course, if it is about 2 taels, it is worthless, and it can only be sold for 20 pounds.
Hundreds of pounds of pike crabs, that's thousands of dollars!
But now the husband and wife have no choice, and they can't go into the water, so they can only wait on the boat!
Fishermen living at sea are reluctant to go to sea if they do not wear protective equipment such as wetsuits, and if the matter is not particularly urgent!
Because there is so much poison in the sea!
Especially for many jellyfish, once they go to the sea and are stung by jellyfish, and there are no rescue facilities around, it is really possible to be deadly!
When you are sent to the hospital, you may be cold!
Now Li Yonglin no longer thinks that it is useless for his son to buy diving equipment, and plans to have time for his son to buy a set for himself!
In this way, Li Xiaofeng traveled back and forth between the bottom of the sea and the surface of the sea, and finally caught almost all the larger crabs in the pike crab group on the bottom of the sea!
By the time Li Xiaofeng returned to the boat, he was already tired and paralyzed!
Diving is really physically demanding!
This is why Li Xiaofeng's physical strength has exceeded the level of professional athletes now, so he can last so long!
If you are an ordinary person, it is estimated that you will not be able to hold on half the time!
Looking at her son who was tired and collapsed on the boat, Liu Xuexia was also very distressed!
Hurriedly handed Li Xiaofeng a bottle of water, and asked distressedly: "Fengcub, are you okay?"
Li Xiaofeng said weakly: "Mom, I'm fine, I'm just too tired just now, just rest for a while!" ”
In this way, Li Xiaofeng was lying next to him and resting, and Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia were busy tying crabs.
After the two of them tied up the crabs, after a rough estimate, my son fished up no less than 130~140 catties of crabs from the bottom of the sea!
After simply cleaning up the boat, Li Yonglin drove the boat to the reef where the crab pots were kept!
The harvest of the crab pots is also very good, and several crab pots are full! After half of the crab pot was received, Li Xiaofeng finally rested and hurriedly helped collect the crab pot together!
Today's crab pot caught 40~50 pounds of crabs, although more miscellaneous, but the size is generally not small! And also caught two cattooth sharks, one weighing 3 pounds!
At this time, Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin were also happy.
Li Xiaofeng hurriedly found a place, put the crab pot down again, and hurried back to sell crabs, but unfortunately the net couldn't be laid today!
More than 3 taels were sold to several restaurants that often cooperated, two cattooth sharks were also sold to them, and the smaller ones under 3 taels were sold cheaply in the market.
sold for a total of 12,436 yuan, and Liu Xuexia transferred 7,000 to Li Xiaofeng!
