The fishing boats intend to sail all the way north along the coastline.

This time, they will have to cross almost the entire East China Sea and most of the Yellow Sea, and it is expected that it will take about four or five days to reach the destination of their trip.

At this moment, the fishing boat has been unknowingly sailing at sea for more than four hours, but they still have not caught a single net.

Since the crew had finished tidying up the things on the ship in the morning, after lunch, many crew members sat lazily on the deck and basked in the sun.

The old crew members are already used to this state, and they don't need to think too much about it, just honestly wait for the captain's orders.

But the four new crew members are a little uncomfortable with this idle state, which is a bit different from the life they imagined on the fishing boat, can this state really make money?

Han Minghua was even more anxious, on the one hand, he was worried about the fifth brother, and on the other hand, the work of this crew member was basically his last battle, and he was eager to make money with this job, so as to change himself and change his son's fate.

So he got up from the deck and walked briskly towards the cockpit.

At this time, Li Xiaofeng was driving the boat, and Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun were chatting beside them.

After entering the door, Han Minghua hurriedly greeted the three of them: "Godfather, third uncle, Uncle Zhang, you are all here!"

He and Li Xiaofeng are sworn brothers, so they follow Li Xiaofeng's title.

Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun also nodded in response to him with a smile, and Li Yonglin said with concern: "Xiaohua, are you still comfortable on the fishing boat?" ”

Han Minghua responded with a smile: "Godfather, I'm fine on the fishing boat, but I haven't been netting and have nothing to do on the deck, so I came to talk to the fifth brother." ”

Hearing his words, Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Is this fishing boat different from what you think?" Before the net, everyone was really idle, but after the net, it may be very busy. ”

After listening to this, Han Minghua asked again: "Fifth brother, then when will we go online?" ”

Li Xiaofeng responded: "The main thing is to see when we can find the fish, otherwise the fishing boat will keep dragging the nets and sailing, and the fuel consumption will increase a lot." ”

Hearing his words, Han Minghua nodded.

Li Xiaofeng said again: "Since you think you are bored on the deck, then follow me here to learn something." ”

His positioning of Han Minghua is not to be an ordinary crew member all the time.

In this way, Han Minghua stayed in the cockpit, and Li Xiaofeng also began to patiently explain to him the sonar equipped on the fishing boat, the fish finder and the driving of the fishing boat.

One patiently taught, the other studied seriously, and before I knew it, another two or three hours passed.

The fishing boat had already entered the Curved Strait at this time, and Li Xiaofeng finally found a suitable school of fish on the map, and he said to Li Yongmin next to him: "Third uncle, you inform everyone, we are ready to put the net." ”

As soon as they heard this, Li Yongmin, who was chatting beside them, was shocked and stood up happily.

Li Yonglin hurriedly walked to the deck and went to greet the crew. As soon as Han Minghua saw this situation, he also followed Li Yongmin out of the cockpit and returned to his post.

Li Xiaofeng also turned on the ship's radio to inform everyone to get ready to go online.

The fishing boat drove forward for another ten minutes, and with Li Xiaofeng's order, Li Yongmin, who had long been on standby, began to operate the net winder, and the crew members were also standing on both sides of the trawl, ready to sort out the fishing nets that were entwined together.

Under the action of the net winder, the trawl began to be slowly released into the sea, and soon the net was released, and then under the action of the current, like an open parachute, it was dragged behind the fishing boat.

The fishing net dragged in the sea for more than two hours, Li Xiaofeng looked at the map and felt that it was almost there, and then turned on the radio again to inform everyone to start netting.

The trawl began to tighten under the drag of the net winder again, the net mouth began to close, and the whole fishing net began to be slowly dragged onto the fishing boat.

However, when the fishing net was completely dragged up, everyone who was full of anticipation was dumbfounded.

The catch of this net is not much, and it is estimated that it is only a few thousand catties of fish. The point is that there are not many fish, and they all seem to be worthless small fish.

I saw that most of the fishing nets at this time were small fish with a body length of twenty or thirty centimeters, a narrow and flat body, a blue-black back, a gradual yellow from top to bottom on the sides, and a silvery-white belly.

It looks a bit similar to the noodles in the water. Because the fish are not large, many smaller fish leak out of the mesh.

Seeing the small fish in this net, everyone couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on their faces.

At this time, Li Xiaofeng handed over the fishing boat to his father, and also walked out of the cockpit and walked in the direction of the back deck.

Li Xiaoliang saw him from a distance and shouted loudly: "Brother Feng, don't come here, these nets are full of worthless small trash fish, let's hurry up and make another net!" ”

Li Xiaofeng knew that this was the result, so he ignored him and came to the stern with a smile. Looking at the small fish in the net, he nodded happily, it was these fish that he was going to catch.

Li Xiaoliang said with a disgusted face next to him: "Brother Feng, don't let you come to see it, this net is basically such a small trash fish with a small size, and it is not valuable." ”

Hearing his words, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you sure these are worthless little miscellaneous fish?" ”

Hearing his words, the crew on the deck were stunned, could it be that they had just read it wrong?

I couldn't help but look into the fishing nets again.

But if you look at it again, the result is still the same, aren't most of the nets full of worthless trash fish?

However, Li Yongmin listened to Li Xiaofeng's words, and took a closer look at the fishing net, always feeling as if he had heard this kind of fish somewhere.

After thinking for a while, he took one out of the mesh with some understanding, sniffed it under his nose, and then asked Li Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, is this sweetfish?" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded with a smile and said, "This is exactly the sweetfish!" ”

Ayu, what ayu?

Seeing that the crew next to him was still in a confused state, Li Xiaofeng could only patiently explain to them: "These fish are all sweetfish, you can take one and smell it to see if there is a fruity fragrance similar to cucumber." ”

It is no wonder that these crew members do not know each other, the ayu itself lives in the water most of the time, and in recent years, due to environmental pollution and the destruction of the environment used for spawning, wild ayu is becoming more and more rare.

Listening to his words, the crew all picked up one after another from the mesh and sniffed it.

Don't say that this fish really doesn't have the fishy smell of ordinary fish, but has a fruity aroma like cucumber and cantaloupe.
