Chapter Seventy-Six: Preparations Before the Sea Opens

Whether you play windsurfing or diving, it is a particularly physically demanding sport.

During exercise, people do not feel particularly hungry, but they feel that their bodies are limp and have no strength.

Chen Xin and the others played in the water for a while, picked up a few sea urchins, a few conchs, and the lobster was not seen. Besides, it's daytime, and with their water nature, they can't catch lobsters when they see them.

After twelve o'clock, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng also swam back.

The bags on Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng's waists were full.

Chen Yuan has three lobsters in this bag, and the rest are sea urchins and conchs.

Zhou Sheng caught two lobsters, and the rest were sea urchins and conchs, and he was lucky enough to catch a grouper of more than two catties.

"I caught a grouper of more than two catties, as well as two lobsters, sea urchins, and conchs." Zhou Sheng said and looked at Chen Yuan: "What did you catch?" ”

"Three lobsters. Conch, sea urchin ...... It's gone. There's a bit less stuff in this part of the sea. ”

"Go back. Now it's hot and hungry, and I don't have any energy. Chen Xin said.

"Let's go, go back."

Chen Yuan went over and picked up the windsurfer: "It's a diagonal headwind now, you have to pay attention to controlling the speed." ”

Yan Xiaoxi nodded, she also had no strength.

Pushing the windsurf board into the deep water area, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng saw that they were all standing on the windsurfing board, and then they went up, raised the sail, and adjusted the direction of the sail......

The island was only a little more than 1 kilometer away from Hailing, and soon, Chen Yuan and the others returned to the shore.

After packing up his things, Zhou Sheng threw the shoulder bag on his waist to Chen Yuan: "I'll go to your house for dinner at noon." ”

"Okay." Chen Yuan looked at Yan Xiaoxi and them: "You are together." ”

"Okay." Yan Xiaoxi nodded.

Pack up your things and load them in the car and go back to the community.

Yan Xiaoxi and the others want to go home to take a shower and change their clothes.

Chen Yuan and Chen Xin also went home, washed rice and cooked rice first, and then went back to the house to take a bath.

There are quite a lot of seafood caught today, but six people are definitely not enough to eat.

Chen Xin uses a brush to clean the conch.

Today there are more conches, and a large pot is full. There are not many large conchs, and they are basically small conchs. Cleaning these conches is quite troublesome......

Chen Yuan took a piece of pork belly out to thaw, put it in the microwave to thaw, and then processed the sea urchins.

There are not many sea urchins, and there are only a dozen in total. Chen Yuan directly took out the sea urchin yellow and put it into a basin, added ginger water, and white wine...... Go fishy. After beating three more eggs and stirring, add water and continue to stir, then pour it in and stir with the sea urchin...... It was steamed in the pot.

The living room door was unlocked and there was a knock.

"Come in." Chen Yuan shouted.

Zhou Sheng and Zhou Lan walked in: "Do you want us to help?" ”

"Of course, come and help clean the conch." Chen Xin said.

Yan Xiaoxi and the others went home to take a bath, changed their clothes, and came to Chen Yuan's house with Zhou Sheng.

"Do you want to help?" Yan Xiaoxi asked.

"No need. There are many people in the kitchen...... "Chen Yuan turned on the microwave oven and took out the pork belly cold water pot, which was ready to make a pot of meat.

"I'll cook." Yan Xiaoxi said.

"Then you can help remove the green peppers."

Tearing down green peppers, in the dialect of my hometown, means to pick out good green peppers and break the green pepper handles.

"Xiaoxi's cooking skills are very good, and the cooking is delicious." He Huan said: "What dishes do you want to make, let Xiaoxi do it." ”

Zhou Sheng next to him looked at Chen Yuan and was ambiguous: "Will you make back to the pot meat?" Chen Yuan's favorite thing to eat is back to the pot meat......"

"Yes." Yan Xiaoxi was pushed in by He Huan and was a little embarrassed.

Chen Yuan gave Yan Xiaoxi a hand on the side, and watched her skillfully cut the green pepper with a knife, and was a little impressed. This green pepper is more beautifully cut than Chen Yuan, and it looks like it can cook.

It is more troublesome to clean the conch, and He Huan also went over to help clean the conch.

There was no such brush at home, so He Huan passed the washed conch through the water and rubbed it.

The kitchen was crowded, but Chen Yuan had no place, so he took the grouper of more than two catties and went outside to deal with it......

After waiting for the sea urchin steamed egg to cook, the grouper was steamed.

The pork belly in the pot is also cooked.

Yan Xiaoxi took it out, cut it into thin slices, and then checked the seasoning, and after finding that the seasoning was complete, he began to heat the pan......

The conch was finally washed.

A large pot, blazing.

Five little green dragons of average size, waiting for Yan Xiaoxi to stir-fry the dishes, Chen Yuan used them to make a pot of lobster soup.

Lunch was busy for more than an hour.

After setting the table, Chen Yuan took a few beers and came out, one by one.

"Start ......" Chen Yuan first tasted the back pot meat made by Yan Xiaoxi, and it tasted very good.

"What does it taste like?" Yan Xiaoxi looked at Chen Yuan.

"It's better than I did." Chen Yuan nodded.

"I'll taste ......" Zhou Sheng took a sip of beer and sandwiched a piece: "It's really good, it has the taste of a master." ”

The meat is fat but not greasy, and the fragrance is strong......

Today's lunch is still very rich, two large pots of back pot meat, a pot of conch, as well as steamed eggs, steamed fish, and lobster soup.

After eating, everyone sat down for a while and then dispersed.

Chen Yuan was about to take a nap, Lin Xinhai called, and Chen Yuan asked Zhou Zhou Sheng to go to the shipyard together.

Lin Xinhai's fishing boat is installing ultra-low temperature freezer equipment.

"Master." Chen Yuan shouted.

Lin Xinhai smiled and nodded: "The new sonar equipment is back." ”

Wang Hao was wearing work clothes and was busy on the boat, and when he saw Chen Yuan, they said hello.

There are fish finders on fishing boats, which are different from sonar.

The difference between the two is that sonar is mainly horizontal waves, which detect fish at a distance, and fish finders are vertical waves, which detect fish under the fishing boat.

The fish finder can know the size of the fish underneath.

And sonar, mainly to find schools of fish.

The price difference between sonar and fish finder is also wide.

Wang Hao found them a set of second-hand sonar, with a maximum detection distance of 9,500 meters and more than 200,000 yuan.

The sonar used by Lin Xinhai's fishing boats has a maximum detection distance of more than 2,000 meters. However, this thing is not suitable for mounting on a boat......

Sonar can find schools of fish, but it is difficult to discern the number of fish. Observing the number of fish depends on experience.

But Chen Yuan couldn't use these things, so they drew up a list and handed it to Wang Hao.

This is a purchase order, some remote-controlled sonar equipment, that is, remote-controlled fish scouting. This remote-controlled fish scout is also a kind of sonar, close-range sonar, which can identify the number of fish from the picture sense.

Sonar can find fish, but if you only rely on sonar to find a school of big fish in the vast sea, it is a blind cat that meets a dead mouse.

Sonar at a detection distance of 9500 meters, that's already a lot. But on the sea, this distance is really nothing.

This time, Lin Xinhai invested money and bought a brand new tuna purse seine net, which is to do a big thing.

Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng looked at the equipment prepared by Lin Xinhai, then went to the fishing boat and removed the freezer on the fishing boat.

"Is the stabilizer dismantled or not?" Chen Yuan said: "To go to the South China Sea, you have to bring more oil. ”

"Don't do it. The waves at sea are big, there is no stabilizer, and on such a small ship, don't want to sleep at night. Zhou Sheng hurriedly stopped Chen Yuan.

worked in the shipyard until the evening, and then went to Lin Xinhai's house for dinner, and he took out the staffing for this trip.

"Master......" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan and shouted, "How big is your tuna purse seine?" ”

"The length is 1,700 meters, the height is 270 meters, and the total is 26 knots."

"How?"

"21 tons."

Chen Yuan scratched his head: "It's only 21 tons?" ”

"Where you can save weight, you can save it, and a fishing net is so expensive, I have to spend a lot of money. If I couldn't find a school of tuna, I would be laughed at on the island for a whole year. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "You don't even tell me if you buy tuna purse seine." Tell the truth, just your fishing boat, round tuna...... Enough to choke. ”

"You won't help catch the fish." Lin Xinhai rolled his eyes.

Chen Yuan's face twitched slightly: "Use wool to catch ...... As for your two assault boats, I'm also convinced. ”

"You hanger, what tone do you talk to Master?" Lin Xinhai was unhappy.

"I didn't say that...... Your fishing boat has too little horsepower, and it's hard to get your net down. By the way, the crew are all journeymen, right? Chen Yuandao.

"They're all journeymen, old fishermen."

This time, two 38.7-meter large fishing boats, auxiliary boats, Chen Yuan's fishing boat...... Plus two assault boats. The assault boat is 7.6 meters long and is equipped with two 60 hp outboard motors......

Seeing this configuration, Chen Yuan's scalp was numb.

Lin Xinhai's fishing boats used to mainly enclose sardines and use lights to purse seine nets.

This time, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng gave Lin Xinhai courage, and he didn't discuss it with Chen Yuan, so he bought a tuna purse seine and came back.

Tuna purse seine nets are large and expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of yuan for a net.

"With such a big net, can your boat be put down?" Zhou Sheng also said.

"I can put it down."
