Chapter 142: Light Fishing

Many residents of the harbor city have the habit of going to the seafood pier early in the morning to buy the freshest marine fish on the fishing boat that has just returned to Hong Kong. These fresh sea fish are the result of a busy night at sea by fishermen.

So why do fishermen choose to go out to sea at night to catch fish?

This is because many of the fish in the sea are night owls that are diurnal and nocturnal.

They hide in some hidden places to sleep during the day, so they are rare to see during the day, and you rarely see them, but at night, these night owls can come out refreshed.

During the day, these fish, who do not know where to hide, come out in groups at night to feed and play.

And there are many fish at night has a strong phototaxis, at this time fishermen only need to turn on the fishing boat to attract fish, a lot of fish that can not be found everywhere, like moths to the fire, have passed by to throw nets.

Do you think fishermen can't come out to catch at night?

After dinner, all the crew members were in place, Li Xiaofeng turned on the lights on the fishing boat, and the entire fishing boat was brightly lit in an instant.

Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun were busy with their crews and installed fish trap lights on both sides of the back deck of the fishing boat that were specially used to lure fish at night.

When the fish trap light is turned on, it is just enough to lure nearby fish into the sea on both sides of the back deck of the fishing boat, and the trawl that follows closely behind can pull them into the net.

Li Yonglin and the others were busy on the deck with their crew for more than 20 minutes before they set up dozens of fish-trapping lamps.

After seeing in the monitoring that they had installed the fish trap lights, Li Xiaofeng informed everyone that they were ready to start the boat, and slowly started the fishing boat.

With the roar of the diesel engine starting on the fishing boat, the silence around the sea was suddenly broken, and the fishing boat began to move forward slowly.

At this time, the sea outside the fishing boat was calm, and the moonlight in the distant sky was bright, like the moonlight sprinkled on the sparkling sea, and there were bursts of white light.

At this moment, it is really impossible to tell whether the ship is in the water or in the sky.

Li Xiaofeng drove the boat, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin, and Zhang Jianjun returned to the wheelhouse from the deck, chatting happily.

The content of their chat was the harvest of the previous net, and everyone's face was red, obviously very satisfied with the harvest.

According to their estimates, there are more than 20 tons of flying fish caught in that net today, so this is 40,000 catties!

It's a pity that everyone's acceptance of this fish is not high, so the price of this fish is not high, and it is only thirteen or fourteen yuan a pound on their side, and it is said that this thing is the best ingredient for making sashimi in small days, and one pound can be sold for four or five hundred.

In addition to these flying fish, there are also many fish that chase after the school of flying fish to prey on them.

For example, the sea wolf, that is, the barracuda, caught seven or eight hundred catties, and the loach also caught more than three hundred catties, in addition to all kinds of messy fish, one of which is hundreds of catties.

In this way, this net is a harvest of hundreds of thousands, how can you not be excited about the three veterans who are about to enter the year of the sixtieth year and start their own business for the last time in their lives.

The three of them whispered about the harvest of this voyage.

It's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, the total income from this trip to sea has been two hundred thousand unconsciously, although this income does not represent profits, and it is necessary to remove the consumption of fishing boats and the daily wages of the crew, but even so, it is a lot of income!

Thinking of this, everyone's faces showed a smile of joy, and Li Xiaofeng next to him was happy to see them, and he was also very happy.

Making money is one thing, and on the other hand, it is to repay the kindness of the third uncle and Uncle Zhang.

No one in this world is stupid, no one is stupid, don't take other people's kindness to you for granted!

No one's contribution is taken for granted, and no one is obliged to be good to anyone all the time, don't lose the person who is good to you! Because they could, they wouldn't.

So please cherish the people who are good to you!

This is also why Li Xiaofeng has always insisted that the grace of people should be reciprocated by the spring!

At this moment, Zhang Jianjun was really full of gratitude to Li Xiaofeng and Li Yonglin, father and son.

Originally, he thought that he was in his fifties, and this life passed in such a mess!

To put it mildly, he is so old, and when he enters the factory to make screws, others dislike him for being old. But he didn't want to really just accept his fate, and he didn't know anything other than fishing, so he always wanted to find a chance to fight again.

He also knew that Li Xiaofeng and Li Yonglin, father and son, were willing to take him, mainly because he had helped their family before, and he didn't really lack his money.

But he thought that he really didn't help Brother Lin's family much, and the help in Li Yonglin's eyes, he thought that this was at most mutually beneficial.

So he has always been grateful to Brother Ring's father and son, rushing to do some dirty work on the boat.

Li Yongmin was also full of gratitude to the second brother's family in his heart, if they hadn't thought of themselves, how could he have such a chance to turn over. Will the second brother's family lack the 40,000 yuan to buy a boat?

And he also knows that his nephew's usual fishing harvest is high, and he is really born to eat this bowl of rice at sea, and he is willing to take himself, which can really be regarded as giving money to himself.

Sometimes the poor are really like this, there may be only one or two opportunities to turn over in their lives, and if they seize the sunshine in front of them, if they can't grasp it, they may have no chance to turn over in life.

While driving the boat, Li Xiaofeng listened with great interest to the three elders chatting there, and many of them chatted about their decades of life experience, although they may not necessarily encounter them in their own lives, but this does not prevent them from learning some experience from them.

After more than half an hour of sailing, Li Xiaofeng saw that the boat had left the reef and began to inform the crew on deck to start trawling.

After all the trawls were lowered into the water, Li Xiaofeng informed the third uncle to turn on the fish trapping lights that had just been installed on both sides of the back deck of the fishing boat, and the red light instantly illuminated the nearby sea surface red.

Li Xiaofeng also began to gradually accelerate, and the fishing boat began to sail forward quickly.

Now they use a new type of LED fish trap light on their fishing boat, which is much more energy-efficient than before.

In the past, most fishing boats used metal halide lamps, and the power of one bulb was one kilowatt.

You must know that many fishing boats with lights can be used for hundreds of lights, coupled with the power consumption of the fishing boats themselves, many fishermen say that it is really a whirlpool in the fuel tank!

Moreover, this metal halide lamp also contains highly toxic mercury, which also has great safety hazards when used.

Now they use this new type of LED fish trap lamp, as long as it consumes 20% of the electricity, it can catch up with the lighting brightness of the previous metal halide lamp, and the distance is still farther.
