Chapter Twenty-Nine: Catching Cucumber and Fish I
After the two of them finished collecting the third group of eel fishing, they drove the boat slowly to the sea where the last group of eel fishing was.
At this time, it was already past 1 o'clock in the morning. On the dark sea, there are fewer and fewer fishing boats that used to catch eels dotted with them.
After collecting this last net, the father and son are ready to go back to sleep!
After a while, the boat arrived at the place, and after finding the buoy, Li Xiaofeng stopped the boat carefully.
Li Yonglin began to pull the rope attached to the fishing line hard, but after pulling more than a dozen hooks in a row, no fish was seen!
At this time, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but gloat a little!
Just now, my dad said that he was unlucky, and now he is not connected to the Air Force! However, the back hook began to harvest intermittently!
At this moment, Li Yonglin, who was pulling the rope, suddenly stopped and asked in a low voice, "Fengcub, did you hear any sound?"
This sudden sentence made Li Xiaofeng, who asked, instantly a little creepy, what sound can there be on this pitch-black sea!
People are scary, they will scare people to death!
At this moment, Li Xiaofeng seemed to really hear a sound coming from under the water!
Cuckoo...... Cuckoo......
Li Xiaofeng's hairs stood up in an instant, and he almost shouted that there was a ghost!
It's just that this voice always feels like I've heard it somewhere.
It's, it's like the cry of a cucumber fish! Li Xiaofeng suddenly remembered, wasn't this sound the cry of cucumber fish in the farm in the video he watched because of curiosity before?
Li Xiaofeng was just about to say it, but Li Yonglin gave him a quieter gesture!
Obviously, Li Yonglin also recognized this voice!
Cucumber fish, also known as the big yellow croaker, used to be one of the four major aquatic products in China, and later due to overfishing, it was once endangered!
Also because it has high medicinal value, the wild large yellow croaker, the price is very expensive!
The large yellow croaker is also a very timid fish, and once it hears the sound of the outside world, it is easy to escape.
That's why Li Yonglin gestured to him.
Li Xiaofeng also hurriedly opened the map at this time, and this saw that it brought him a huge surprise, this is not only 1 cucumber fish, this is a small school of cucumber fish!
There are more than 30 cucumber fish in this group, and the cucumber fish in the lead weighs 8 catties.
How do you catch them? Li Xiaofeng's fishing boat is not a trawler, otherwise they would not have been netting often.
How to catch them has become a difficult problem in front of the father and son! Father and son, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other!
Fortunately, Li Xiaofeng suddenly remembered that 2 of the 3 gillnets from the previous day were entangled together, and 1 more was good at that time and should have been placed on the boat!
So Li Xiaofeng stood up, looked lightly on the boat, and finally found the bag of gillnets in an inconspicuous corner!
Li Xiaofeng took the gillnet in his hand, and Li Yonglin also understood what he meant.
The next step is to lower the gillnet, the boat will definitely not dare to start, once the diesel engine is turned on, the rumbling sound will definitely scare the fish away.
"Dad, I'll go straight to the sea and go down to the gillnet!" Li Xiaofeng whispered.
There is no other good way for the time being, Li Yonglin can only reply helplessly: "Okay, you will go into the water and pay attention to safety!" ”
In this way, Li Xiaofeng carefully took the fishing net and quietly went into the water, centering on the cucumber fish on the map, and surrounded them several times.
By the time Li Xiaofeng returned to the ship, it was already more than 4 o'clock in the morning, and people were shivering from the cold, after all, it was already October, and the sea water at night was already cold!
At this time, the eastern sky has begun to gradually whiten!
The rest of the world can only wait here, waiting for the rabbit, waiting for the cucumber fish to hit the net by itself!
At this time, Li Yonglin's mobile phone rang suddenly, and it turned out that Liu Xuexia saw that the father and son had not gone back for a long time, so she called to ask.
"We met cucumber fish at sea and are now in the process of catching them......," Li Yonglin explained softly.
Hearing Li Yonglin say that she had met cucumber fish, Liu Xuexia instantly came to her senses, and now cucumber fish is very valuable!
Liu Xuexia also lowered her voice, telling them to be careful, and asked them to call her when they returned later, and she came over with a foam box and ice cubes.
At this time, the father and son remembered that because they came to fish for eels today, they didn't bring the foam box and ice cubes!
The big yellow croaker is a very delicate fish, once out of the water, it will not live for long, and once it dies and sees the light, if it is not frozen in time, the yellow color on the body will gradually fade!
How much golden yellow can be retained in the body not only affects the color of the large yellow croaker, but also affects its price!
In this way, the father and son quietly watched the gillnet on the boat, waiting for the cucumber fish to enter the net.
After waiting for about one and a half hours, Li Xiaofeng looked at the last cucumber fish on the map and swam out of the encirclement of the gillnet, and said to Li Yonglin: "Dad, the time is almost up, you can close the net!" ”
Although Li Yonglin couldn't see the situation under the water, when he saw the sky gradually brightening, he also felt that it was almost time to close the net, so he nodded!
In this way, Li Yonglin began to pull the gillnet slowly, pulling 6~7 meters, and at this time he saw the first cucumber fish on the net, with a golden fish body, like a gold bar!
This cucumber fish is not big, only 3~4 taels, and it is still struggling online!
Li Yonglin lightly untied it and put it in the living water tank. (There are two live water tanks on the ship, and the eels have been concentrated in one of them in advance)
Then pull the net, and pull about 4 meters, I saw the second cucumber fish today, this one is much larger than the first one, at least 1 and a half catties, it is also alive, gently untie it down, to prevent the fish scales from being damaged, after unraveling, it is also put in the living water tank.
Continue to pull, the third one is not big, only 5~6 taels.
But the fourth one gave Li Yonglin a huge surprise, only to see a big yellow croaker of about 7 catties struggling on the Internet! Li Xiaofeng next to him also hurriedly hugged it with both hands to prevent it from continuing to struggle and destroy the fish scales!
Father and son carefully untied it from the net and quickly put it in the living water tank!
……
In this way, after all the gillnets were collected, a total of 14 large yellow croakers were caught, the largest was about 7 catties, and the smallest was only about 2 taels!
The father and son didn't care about the last group of eels now, so they drove the fishing boat to the village port at full speed!
At this time, Li Xiaofeng also hurriedly called his mother and asked her to prepare the foam box and ice cubes!
More than 20 minutes later, the boat drove to the dock in the village, and at this time, Liu Xuexia was already driving a tricycle with a few foam boxes on the car, waiting on the dock!
