Chapter 116: Stabbing the Eel's Nest
Zhang Zhenghong roughly knew the various purchase prices of the aquatic station, and he calculated Zhang Ze's harvest this time, and found that the large yellow croaker could be sold for more than 160 yuan, and the remaining miscellaneous fish also had 20 or 30 yuan.
Grouper is an exaggeration because of the high price. And there are a lot of sea red spots among them, so he found that Zhang Ze can earn more than 400 yuan on the whole.
Of course, he already knew that his cousin grouper was sold at a higher price, and he would buy it from them, so he would only make more money.
Such an outrageous income almost didn't scare them, but after reacting, several people looked extremely excited.
Even if he doesn't earn as much as Zhang Ze, it would be great if each person could get a hundred when he went to sea that time.
Only then did they understand why their cousin let them wait for others to rent a house and bring their daughter-in-law and children over, because they could really support their daily expenses in Wenshui City.
Then they began to collect the second longline, only to put it away and a question mark popped up on their heads.
Empty Hook Empty Hook Empty Hook or Empty Hook, how can the harvest be so poor?
It's completely different from Zhang Ze who comes to fish from time to time?
Zhang Qinghe was originally frozen because of Zhang Ze's good smile, why did he have so few fish?
'Perhaps, the harvest is all in the second half?' ’
That's what he thought, but it didn't happen.
A thousand hooks only caught more than 100 fish, including more than 150 catties of large yellow croaker, more than 30 catties of trash fish, and grouper just over 100 catties.
Overall, it is better than the previous hook, but the gap is so much that Zhang Qinghe is a little bit broken, and he is not even interested in working.
Now that the sky has slowly darkened, Zhang Ze hurried to collect the remaining two longlines.
The fish caught by each longline is similar to Zhang Qinghe, and the three cousins share it together.
It's a busy day, and it's completely dark.
Zhang Ze went to make dinner, and after everyone ate, they came to the deck and began to sort out the longline.
This thing is a bit of a mess after being pulled up and needs to be rearranged. This is the disadvantage that everyone only has one longline, so when I took the fish just now, I clamped the hook out, which was a great waste of time, but fortunately, it was fast to sort out when there were many people.
Last time I used grouper bait, the harvest was indeed quite good, but it did not reach the ideal catch for him.
The main reason is that there are too few magic baits and too many longline hooks.
So this time he exchanged fifty copies of ordinary bait, and the catch will definitely be more, but he still needs to make a comparison of the overall income.
The bait was exchanged, and a few handfuls of squid bait were fished, and fifty ordinary baits were mixed in.
Anyway, both of them have the same appearance, and no one can find out except himself.
This time, Zhang Ze changed his position to get off the longline, and after putting the longline away, he continued to help Zhang Qinghe hang the bait.
It's just that after the bait is hung up, he said that he found a feng shui treasure and then went down, and then he made a big circle and came to a position two nautical miles away.
Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows, originally he had thought of letting them go to the distant sea area to cast longlines, so as not to be affected by the magic bait.
It's just that there is no suitable reason, and this time Zhang Qinghe accidentally left the range of the magic bait.
So for the next two longlines, he simply let the cousins choose their own positions.
The four longlines were all lowered, and the time was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Ze was numb.
So many longlines are troublesome to tidy up, and it's also troublesome to hang bait, so it's too time-consuming, and he can't even be free to fish if he wants to.
Now four hours have passed since the first longline, and it is ready to be collected again.
Driving the boat back, Zhang Qinghe hooked the buoy back and said with a smile: "I really don't have any rest time to engage in this longline, but the harvest is indeed much better than fishing!" ”
Zhang Ze sighed: "That is, you are all on my boat, and when you each have a boat in the future, I will be more idle." ”
"Hehe, then I still have to work hard, there is still a lot of money to buy a boat now." Zhang Qinghe tied the longline to the open winch and said with a smile.
Now he has rented a house and some expenses, and his deposit is only about 400, which is indeed far from buying a boat.
Zhang Ze's current savings are only two thousand seven, and he earned two thousand last time, but he has spent a lot of money in the past few days.
He looked at Zhang Qinghe and felt that this guy could actually be a teacher.
Why don't you just lend him money to buy a boat and let your cousin go to his boat and let him teach?
Now they are all on the same ship, which seriously delays Zhang Ze's own money, mainly because he wastes too much time, and it seriously affects his harvest of experience points.
The living water tank is so large that the grouper is crowded, not to mention other fish, so these fish can only be chilled.
Dead fish can't be put into the space, it's all experience points!
He often asked Zhang Zhenghong to help collect the fish, and he took the fish and put it in the box next to him, and instantly put it into the space when others were not paying attention, and then took it out immediately.
But there are still some fish that can't be collected under the noses of others, and they don't leak much, but they lose a lot of experience points cumulatively.
The longline was gradually pulled up, Zhang Ze grabbed the strand that was exposed to the surface of the water and quickly pulled it back, and the weight in his hand told him that the first strand was the same as last time, and it was also a good start.
"Damn, it's a snake?" Zhang Qinghe was startled when he saw the writhing and entangled body.
"Your sea snake is so thick?" Zhang Ze rolled his eyes and lifted up the eel in front of him that was still alive, opening its mouth and revealing its sharp teeth.
Considering that the longline was troublesome to use, it was estimated that it would be early in the morning when it was put away, so he simply cut off the strand with scissors and left the hook in the eel's mouth.
"Aze, what kind of moray eel is this?" Zhang Zhenghong tried to catch the eel, but was startled by its fierce bite.
With the help of the lights on the boat, Zhang Ze squatted down and looked at it carefully: "This should be Kangji eel." ”
It is difficult to say exactly what kind of congi eel it is, but he recognizes its species by some characteristics.
The eel was very fierce, so Zhang Ze caught it with a copy net and put it in a large bamboo basket.
Taking advantage of everyone's lack of attention, he reached out and grabbed it, instantly put the Kangji eel into the space and released it immediately.
[Successfully caught a gray Kangji eel, weighing 3.79 catties, experience +4.] 】
It turned out to be a gray Kangji eel, and the color on its body was indeed not so dark.
Then there was the second hook, which was empty, and the third, again a gray congi eel.
Then there were almost no other fish, not many groupers, and most of them were conger eels.
Zhang Qinghe died of laughter: "Aze, you stabbed the eel's nest!" ”
Many of the marine creatures move together in groups, and the usual bait is not aimed at groupers, so it's not surprising that a group of congie eels are attracted.
Zhang Ze glanced at him and said leisurely: "At least I have eels, I hope there will be more fish over there, don't pull up ten hooks and empty nine." ”
"Bah, what nonsense!" Zhang Qinghe was suddenly anxious, it doesn't matter if there are fewer fish and fishing spots, what is it to pay it back?
But one thing to say, he thinks longline fishing is much more interesting than fishing and hooking, because no one knows what the next fish is.
After receiving a batch of Kangji eels in a row, an uninvited guest was pulled up.
"Damn, what a big turtle!" Zhang Zhenghong has been successfully led astray by Zhang Qinghe, and blurted out in his mouth.
"It's a turtle, and it feels a little smaller than the turtle in the mouth of the great white shark last time." Zhang Qinghe was envious, how much is such a large piece of meat worth?
This time, he took the initiative to pick up the hooked sea turtle, and when he felt the weight in his hand, he looked shocked: "This must be fifty pounds!" ”
"Leave it to me!" Zhang Ze didn't make a sound just now, but in fact, he had been fighting between heaven and man.
Sea turtles are now not protected animals and can be sold for money. But as a fisherman, he was a little resistant to selling turtles and eating turtles.
Maybe it was hypocrisy, but in the end he decided to release the turtle.
Taking the turtle from Zhang Qinghe's hand, he first used pliers to pick out the hook, and then carried it to the foredeck.
"Eh, what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of biting all the fish in the live water tank? Zhang Qinghe thought that he was going to put the turtle in the water tank and raise it, so he hurriedly stopped it.
"I'll take it and release it, and you can continue." Zhang Ze replied.
"Are you crazy?" The rest of the people were all stunned, they didn't expect him to make a move to throw money.
"Turtle meat is not tasty, no one wants it." Zhang Ze had never eaten a turtle, but it didn't prevent him from fooling people, "Look, is the Wang Ba in the field delicious?" ”
Zhang Qinghe shook his head again and again, Wang Bayi's earthy smell, who likes to eat it!
But with such a metaphor, they have suddenly realized, no wonder Zhang Ze wants to release the turtles, it is estimated that the fishy smell is also very strong, so they all lost interest in the turtles.
Zhang Ze came to the foredeck, and when he saw that they didn't follow, he put the turtle down.
Rhubarb's eyes were full of curiosity, and he quickly leaned over to remember the smell of the turtle, but the turtle in front of him suddenly disappeared.
“???” Rhubarb tilted his head, and a few question marks popped up on the door of his head, what about the turtle?
How old am I to be a turtle?
"Wangwang~"
Rhubarb barked a few times at the place where the turtle had disappeared, and then turned around a few times where the turtle had just been, and the dog's face was full of doubts.
Zhang Ze glanced at it amusedly, and then put his eyes on the space.
[Successfully caught a leatherback turtle, weighing 52.15 pounds, experience +30.] 】
It turned out to be a leatherback turtle, no wonder it looks so familiar, this is the largest turtle in the world.
Generally, it can grow to two meters long, and the average weight can reach two hundred catties.
Obviously, this one is still a half-grown child!
After gaining experience points, Zhang Ze came to the side of the boat, and as soon as his heart moved, a turtle appeared on the surface.
The leatherback turtle was very confused, it only remembered that it had just appeared in a small space for some reason, and then before it was familiar with the place, it appeared on the sea again in the blink of an eye.
It was desperate when the gluttony was hooked in the mouth just now, but it would suddenly be safe again.
It didn't know what was going on, but that didn't stop it from fleeing at breakneck speed, and it swore never to be greedy again.
After the leatherback turtle disappeared, Zhang Ze returned to the stern of the boat to continue his work.
Looking at the Kangji eels that were caught one by one, he suspected that he might be able to harvest more than 1,000 catties today.
