Chapter 50: The Severed Arm and the Longbow
A rope was attached to the swivel, and it was making a tooth-aching sound.
Seeing this scene, Shi Sandao's eyes suddenly burst into light, and he strode to the front of many sailors, and shouted: "Let me come!" ”
The fishing nets used by the Angry Whale Gang to catch fish this time were specially ordered from the earth by Baili Xing, although they are not the top fishing nets, but the price of a pair of fishing nets is also tens of thousands of yuan.
It's not that Baili Xing can't buy better fishing nets, but even larger fishing nets, most of which need to be pulled by special machinery, and with the existing fishing technology of the Raging Whale Gang, the current fishing nets are more than enough.
With the help of Shi Sandao, the rope that was originally immovable finally began to shrink little by little······
After a cup of tea.
Accompanied by a splash of water from the sponge, a large group of black and white seafood covered with black lines or spots was seen fluttering to the surface, and constantly struggling in the net, setting off bursts of white waves.
"Oh my God, it's a big litter of groupers."
After seeing a nest of fish pulled up by trawls, some sailors suddenly let out a cry of shock.
There is a slight difference between the values of the sky and the earth, in fact, in terms of taste, grouper and yellow croaker have their own merits.
The yellow croaker is delicate and delicious.
Grouper has thick fat and tender meat.
And both kinds of fish do not have too many fine spines, which is a gift from heaven for many gourmets who are good at fish.
But man is not only a taste animal, but also a visual animal.
In contrast, many people like unique things, as the saying goes, 'rare things are expensive'.
That's why.
Compared with the yellow croaker, which is similar in appearance to ordinary river fish, the grouper with a more unique body shape and appearance is more sought after, so the price is higher.
At present, this net of grouper is conservatively estimated to be more than 2,000 catties, according to the current market price of grouper 2 taels of silver per catty, that is, this net fish has earned back nearly 5,000 taels for the Angry Whale Gang.
"Happy!"
After a net of fish was finally caught with the joint efforts of everyone, although Shi Sandao was tired enough, he let out a loud cry of great joy.
After shouting, Shi Sandao touched the fishing net in his hand again and exclaimed: "What a good net!" No wonder Brother Baili swore that you dared to bet with the gang leader, this kind of fishing net is lightweight, but the fishing area is at least three to four times that of the previous one, and the load-bearing capacity is also stronger. ”
"If it were replaced with the previous thick net, this nest of groupers would be lucky if it could catch half of what it is now."
Not only Shi Sandao, but also other sailors on the ship at this time are also fond of touching this 'new fishing net', for the man living at sea, a good fishing net is equivalent to a blade in the hands of a knight, and it is a meal guy who can decide life and death at a critical moment.
In fact, the trust of everyone in the fishing net brought by Bailixing was not too high, because in the cognition of Dacang fishermen, the thicker the fishing net, the stronger it is.
And like the 'new fishing net' of Baili Xing, such a thin rope, a slightly larger fish, can be easily torn.
Unexpectedly, the result was a big fight for them.
A group of sailors touched the fishing nets for a while as if they saw their mother-in-law, and finally began to work under Shi Sandao's order.
"Hall Master, what should we do with this batch of seafood? Is it still the same as before? ”
"No, I've prepared a place for the fish in the cabin below, and we'll bring the live fish back this time."
Hearing that this group of sailors was going to disembowel the live grouper and dry it as before, Bai Lixing hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.
"This ······"
Hearing Bailixing's words, a group of sailors did not respond immediately, but looked at Shi Sandao hesitantly.
Shi Sandao said angrily: "What do you see me doing?" Now the seafood business in the gang is all in charge of this 'Baili Chairman', and everything is done according to what he says. ”
Baili Xing said helplessly: "Brother Dao, there's no need to be so embarrassed by me, right?" ”
Shi Sandao suddenly laughed, patted Bailixing's shoulder and said, "Hahaha······· Just kidding. But then again, Brother Baili, you bring live fish back, isn't it possible that you plan to raise them? ”
"Don't blame my brother, I didn't remind you, the sea is different from the river, it's not so easy to find a place to raise this thing."
When the Angry Whales were in business, they naturally tried to breed marine fish, but unfortunately they basically failed.
Sea fish can't live without seawater.
With the existing conditions of Dacang, the cultivation of marine fish must first be close to the sea.
And it has to be circulating seawater, because if you put it in stagnant water, there is no oxygen supply, and you basically can't raise it for a few days and you will die. The key is that Dacang still doesn't understand this truth, basically everyone who raises sea fish, and in the end they don't even know how the fish died.
But if you put it in the sea and build an artificial lake temporarily.
The water is too far away from the shore and too deep to be easy to build.
If you are too close to the shore, the tide will recede.
However, if the fish are packed up with a net and thrown into the sea to raise, the quality of the fishing net is not good, and once it is soaked in the sea water for too long, it will rot.
In addition, there are waves in the sea, and sometimes there are even typhoons, so it is easy to wash away all the fish that have been raised for a long time.
The Raging Whales had tried several times before.
As a result, the harvest was not much, but a lot of silver was lost, and in the end I had to choose to give up.
As for Shi Sandao's worries, Baili Xing still has the same old saying: "Don't worry!" Brother Dao, I have my own plans. ”
······
The bottom cabin of the sailboat has been temporarily remodeled by Baili Xing, covered with a layer of waterproof plastic, and a simple breeding pond has been built.
So the sailor just threw the grouper in.
However, not long after everyone opened the fishing nets and sorted them out, suddenly an arm appeared out of thin air from under the fish.
And among the five fingers of this arm, there is still a longbow of excellent quality.
"Hell, that's bad luck!"
People who have been fighting in the Angry Whale Gang all year round are naturally not afraid of a broken arm, so when they first saw the sailor with this arm, they were only slightly startled, and then they couldn't help but scold.
After all, you are not afraid of returning, but it is always an unlucky thing to pick up dead people in the sea.
"Hahaha~~"
"Old pockmark, you stepped on shit this morning!"
The sailor next to him was unceremoniously, and when he saw that the sailor was unlucky, he immediately laughed unceremoniously.
"Hey~~"
As a result, Lao Mazi not only did not have the slightest annoyance, but laughed strangely and said, "You guys should be jealous!" Lao Tzu may be really lucky today, this bow is so good-looking, it can be sold for two taels of silver. When the time comes, when I sell it, I will have ······ money to find the red girl to be happy tonight."
Before Lao Mazi's words fell, he saw Shi Sandao just come over, and when he saw the longbow in Lao Mazi's hand, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did this bow come from?" ”
