Hearing Zhang Ze say this, Zhang Zhenghong immediately thought of the sale of 4,000 yuan of fish in Yuewan County, and his eyes lit up: "Is it really so profitable to go to sea?" ”

To be honest, they don't bring their wives and children to see the situation first, if they don't earn so much, it is naturally better for their wives and children to stay at home and save money.

But who doesn't want to move to the city to be a city dweller?

"It depends on luck when you go to sea, but basically the harvest of the big ship is not too low. I also have arrangements for you, and when you are familiar with going to sea, I will lend you money to buy a boat, and then you can go to sea by yourself. ”

Zhang Ze didn't plan to keep his cousin with him all the time, he preferred to be alone and on one ship.

If you don't have a fishing net and just a longline, you can actually get it by yourself, but it's a little more time-consuming and troublesome, but it's not as troublesome than a fishing net.

With them, in addition to getting some shares and more money, he also thinks about his own safety.

Three or four boats go to sea together, and they can help each other if they encounter any problems at sea.

If you encounter a robbery or something, you can also support each other at any time, to put it bluntly, you can find some reliable people as bodyguards.

Even, Zhang Ze thought of the weapons that had not been completely banned in this era, if only he could get some to defend himself.

It's a pity that he is only a farmer, and although he has made some money from fishing, he still has no way.

If there is no person who absolutely trusts to get this, it is impossible for him to take the risk to buy the channel.

When Zhang Zhenghong and the others heard Zhang Ze's arrangement for them, they all showed joy.

Isn't it just to make money that they leave the fields and don't plant them?

"It just so happens that you lent us two hundred before, and there is still a lot of money, so let's go find a house first, and then take them over after the arrangements are made."

"Okay, you go and rent the house first, and the day after tomorrow we will go to sea, the day after tomorrow is a big tide, and the harvest will be more." Zhang Ze set the time.

Yesterday, because of the problem of fish, he decided to go to the shipyard to study first for two quiet days, and now that his cousin is here, he can just leave them some time to prepare.

Two days passed in a flash, Zhang Zhenghong and the three of them found a suitable house, and Zhang Qinghe has also found a house now and moved out.

In addition to going to study in the past two days, Zhang Ze also bought some wood to make a kennel for Rhubarb, and put it in the hall on the first floor of his house.

After Zhang Qinghe moved out, Rhubarb was naturally not suitable to live on the boat all the time, otherwise he would have to often deliver food to the dog, which would be troublesome.

When he saw his new home, Rhubarb went in to look at it and then took the child in, looking very satisfied.

His tail flicked even higher, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he smiled like a fox.

Their family came, and Zhang Wu and Zhang Qing were happy, and the two of them took the milk dog out of the kennel that night, one for each person, and there was nothing they could do with the rhubarb.

Fortunately, they spent the night at home, and Zhang Ze took them back to the ship the next day.

"Aze, this is your ship, it's really magnificent."

"It's just, I thought you were a small boat, I didn't expect it to be so big?"

"You said that you will lend us money to buy a boat in the future, and it is the same way?"

Zhang Zhenghong, who came to the ship for the first time, was very surprised, and then his eyes showed envy.

The cousins who needed their occasional help in the past seem to be really developed, but they are also very happy, fortunately, the relationship has been maintained well, if they are like the relatives on Zhang Ze's father's side, how can they have a chance to come to the city?

"Your ships will be like this in the future." Zhang Ze nodded affirmatively.

The fifteen-meter boat can go to the fishing grounds of Nanping Island and the fishing grounds of Zhoushan, which is enough.

Bigger ships also require more people, so they have to recruit people.

But who knows if there will be bloodshed because of unpleasantness in getting along, so Zhang Ze has not considered a larger ship in recent years.

After a while, after Tong Yuanhang and Zhang Qinghe also came, Zhang Ze took them to introduce each other, and then boarded the ship and set off.

The two fishing boats stayed for a few days and then set sail again, because this time they had to release the longline, so Zhang Ze specially bought a lot of cheap small squid at the aquatic station.

The baby squid is used as longline bait, so the cost of them is out together.

However, Zhang Ze paid the money first, and when the return fish was sold, he directly deducted it from them.

After driving for a while and finding that his cousins showed no signs of seasickness, he was completely relieved.

This time, the target location is in the southern part of Nanping Island, and the location was chosen because there may be a chance to catch some fish species from the northern part of the bay.

But before that, he had to go to Lumen Island to buy equipment for his cousin. By the way, let Zhang Qinghe go home and help bring the javelin.

Originally, he asked the two sons of the Ye family to bring it, but they didn't come over now, and they didn't know what was going on, so he asked him to ask about the situation by the way.

If the other party repents, let him give five yuan as money to buy a dog.

I went to Lumen Island first, and after two days, the longline was also made two, which is not difficult to make, and the speed is quite fast.

However, these two were given to his cousins, and he also gave one of the two to Zhang Qinghe.

But this is also for their temporary use, and when the longline is more, he still has to prepare at least two of them.

Normal longline or row hook, the fishing line is cut directly, which is convenient and fast, so it is not surprising to prepare more longlines on a boat.

The longline that cut off the hook was taken back to the weaver to continue to repair it, and the money itself was earned for them.

Leaving Lumen Island and coming to the seaside location of Qinghe Village, Zhang Qinghe carried the bicycle to the boat and rowed to the opposite shore.

Zhang Ze taught his cousins some basic fishing knowledge on the boat, just like he taught Zhang Qinghe at the beginning.

Half an hour later, he came back on his bicycle, with two iron javelins tied to a length of 1.5 meters and painted to prevent rust and extend the use of the javelins.

There was no stainless steel in the blacksmith shop in the village, so he had to use it first.

Zhang Qinghe poured saliva on himself after he came back, and then said with a somewhat angry expression: "Aze, I have already inquired about the situation of the two brothers of the Ye family. ”

"After they heard the news that the hairtail fish was sold for 4,000 yuan, they made a small boat together and went out to sea to fish, and they don't plan to go to Wenshui City to find you again, and I have already given the money to buy rhubarb to their parents."

"That's it!" Zhang Ze nodded calmly.

"You're not angry?" Zhang Qinghe felt a little strange when he saw that he didn't react at all.

"What am I angry about!" Zhang Ze said with a smile, "I think it's a good thing that they don't come." I was worried that they would reveal my business, and then more people in the village would look for me. If that happens, I'm going to drive them away. ”

"Wouldn't it be better now that they're out to sea to fish themselves?"

"Then why did you say yes in the first place?" Zhang Qinghe was even more puzzled after hearing this.

"I'm thinking that you can sail your own boat, and you'll need manpower when you go to sea, so I plan to bring two people out to fill the vacancy when the time comes."

“.” Zhang Qinghe was a little speechless, "Then what to do with them, it's better to find my brother." ”

Zhang Ze's eyes lit up: "How did I forget your brother!" The three of my cousins will definitely have a boat in the future, and the three of them will be in a group. ”

"And I'm still a little worried about you alone, I'll take your brother with you when you have a boat in the future, that's just right."

Zhang Qinghe's mouth opened, and he wanted to say, 'What about yourself?' ’

But thinking of what Zhang Ze did when he went to sea, he seemed to be very skilled, as if there was really no problem with a person, so he closed his mouth and didn't mention it anymore.

Now that everything is clear, Zhang Ze no longer delays time, sets the coordinates and turns on the cruise mode.

After arriving at noon, Tong Yuanhang and the others had already begun to get off the net.

Because of the presence of several cousins, Zhang Ze still took out the fishing net today to teach them how to get off the net.

Then there's the longline, which normally has two people, first hang the bait on the hook of the line, and then one person drives the boat and one person goes down the longline.

It is naturally more convenient to have a winch for longline and longline, Zhang Ze plans to focus on longline fishing in the future, so he decided to go to the shipyard to install a winch for longline after going back this time.

This kind of winch is very convenient to use, and it is very useful to fish deep-sea fish with longlines and catch deep-sea crabs in crab pots.

If there is only one person, then you have to find the direction of the waves and let the waves push the longline down slowly, but slowly.

Fortunately, the magic bait has a wide enough attraction range, so he can let the boat drive slowly in the open sea and release the longline at the stern of the boat.

After the fishing net was lowered, Zhang Qinghe drove the boat to change positions, and Zhang Ze began to teach a few cousins how to put the longline, these simple things are actually not technical.

Just watch the lines and don't let them get tangled.

Zhang Ze's custom-made longline is specially designed to catch shallow-water fish, mainly grouper, and the length of the strand is only 25 meters, which is relatively easier to operate than those longlines that catch deep-sea fish.

The main line of the longline has a small float at intervals, with twenty hooks between the small float and the small float, and a sunken stone hangs below the small float so that the hook can sink.

In this way, small sections are spliced together to form a longline with a thousand hooks.

Of course, there are not only small floats on the main line, but also several large floats that not only help carry the longline to prevent it from sinking, but also facilitate Zhang Ze to find it better.

One longline is put away, and then the second one is taken out and tidied up, and several people hang the bait together.

On a longline, Zhang Ze secretly hung ten grouper bait, this one was Zhang Qinghe's, he didn't use the magic bait anymore, and it had no effect.

When all four longlines were put down, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was obvious that the longlines were quite time-consuming to use.

After another two hours, he could put away the first longline, and Zhang Ze simply drove to the vicinity of the longline to teach his cousins fishing.

For fishing, two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Qinghe kept an eye on the time, and when he saw that the sun had completely run to the west, he came to him and asked, "Is it okay to go and collect the longline?" ”

Zhang Ze looked at the sun, nodded, and then went to drive the boat to the end of the longline.

When he came to the deck, Zhang Qinghe had already hooked the big float with a hook.

Zhang Ze took over, tied the rope to the winch and opened it, the winch slowly turned, and the longline began to be slowly pulled up.

A longline with a thousand hooks is very long, and with the fish caught, it is very difficult to pull the weight by manpower.

After a while, the first strand was exposed to the water, and a zebra-like stone snapper appeared in everyone's sight.

The fish is not small, and it is estimated that it has four or five catties.

However, the hook of the longline is relatively large, and the whole small squid is hung, and the fish on the hook is basically not small.

"Aze, what kind of fish is this, can you eat it?" Zhang Zhenghong asked while standing next to him.

"Stone snapper, the aquatic station is more than six cents, because the output is not high, so the purchase price is higher than that of hairtail."

Zhang Zhenghong took the fish and flipped it in his hand, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes: "This fish is estimated to be about five catties, and six cents a catty, doesn't it cost three yuan?" ”

Zhang Ze nodded: "Almost!" ”

After getting confirmed, Zhang Zhenghong and the others are a little incredible, a fish is three yuan?

They used to go to the beach, but they didn't look at the fish in the sea.

Now I realize how much I missed out on the beginning!

But thinking that it was a big collective before, he felt that there seemed to be nothing to pity, and it would not be able to sell it anyway.

The second one is a large yellow croaker, which also has more than four catties.

The next thing he found was either grouper or large yellow croaker, mixed with a small amount of sea bream.

Every time Zhang Ze catches a fish, he will introduce them to the types of fish and how to identify them.

Because the grouper bait is hung very scattered, the density of grouper on the hook is not as high as when the hook was placed before.

But the harvest of 1,000 fish hooks is also extremely amazing, a total of more than 200 fish were caught, and the average weight of the fish reached three and a half catties, that is, more than 700 catties.

Among them, there are more than 70 groupers, more than 270 catties.

Don't look at the number of empty hooks, but the efficiency still far exceeds the row hooks.
