Chapter 162: The Last Fishing Time in the East China Sea

Zhang Ze took them into the cab, counted them, and it was indeed two thousand five hundred yuan, and then put them into the small rest room.

Then he negotiated with Zhang Qinghe and them the price of the fishing boat, and sold it to them for two thousand five when he did not go to sea.

The new ship with a service life of only four or five months is much cheaper, Zhang Ze is not cost-effective, and it is less cheap, but it is only a second-hand one.

Even if the new ship has not been moved, it must be cheaper to resell, and the less than 500 parties can accept it.

After the two brothers left, Zhang Ze purchased a batch of small squid to start the fishing boat and go to sea.

More than 2,000 copies of ordinary bait were directly exchanged at sea, plus more than 1,000 copies of the original bait space, just 4,000 copies were made.

These baits have to be hung on the longline, and the batch of baits purchased will be used for nesting.

Then he went to Lumen Island to carry all the longlines to the boat, and now he has a total of four longlines, two for shallow water and two for deep water, which is why he has prepared a total of 4,000 baits.

When he got the longline, he didn't leave in a hurry, and took out five yuan to ask the fishermen and their families to come and help hang the bait.

The price of hanging a bait for five yuan is naturally very high, but the family can reduce a lot of time when they come to help, and Zhang Ze's high income does not care about this.

The two longlines add up to nearly three hours each time they hang the bait, and the four longlines take six hours.

That is, the magic bait can be imitated into the real bait, or Zhang Ze would not dare to operate like this.

"Damn, when did you prepare so much bait?" Zhang Qinghe and Tong Yuanhang also came to get the longline, and they were a little surprised when they saw Zhang Ze full of bait here.

"I'll be ready before you even get to the docks, and put it in the fish hold!" Zhang Ze flickered.

Several people nodded knowingly, and then asked the fishermen to help hang the bait, and then did not ask someone to help them hang the bait.

There were three people on the Tong Yuanhang boat, and they only prepared three longlines, of course, they didn't need help from others.

Zhang Qinghe Although they are two people and have prepared four longlines, they can save now, so they are not willing to spend this money.

It's just that they haven't calculated how many fish they can catch by reducing the time saved by five yuan, and whether the value of the fish sold will be much higher than the five yuan?

The fishermen's family and children are eight years old, but the bait is barely slower than the adults.

Zhang Ze saw that they were working hard, so he went to the cab and brought some white rabbits over to the children.

Seeing the candy he handed over, the older children seemed to be frightened and hurriedly retreated.

The younger children swallowed saliva and wanted to eat but did not dare to take it.

In the end, he forcibly stuffed the children's hands: "Just a few pieces of candy, let the children taste it." ”

When the child's parents saw him say this, they quickly pulled the children to thank them.

They had six children, the eldest fifteen years old and the youngest eight years old, all of whom were tanned by the sun, darker than he was when he went to sea every day.

This family is also a difficult family on the island, with reliable character, Zhang Ze also customized the longline from their family to repair the longline under the recommendation of Tong Yuanhang.

It took less than an hour and a half for all four longlines to be hung with bait, which is much faster than before.

Everything was ready, the cable was retracted and the whistle was sounded, and the fishing boat slowly left the pier of Lumen Island and headed for the fishing ground of Nanping Islands.

There are many groupers nearby, and you can catch a lot of crabs and lobsters by putting shrimp pots in the ground cage.

By the time he came to the fishing spot, it was already noon, so he stopped the boat and dropped anchor.

Now putting the longline and putting the shrimp pot can maximize the use of time, but Zhang Ze has already spent five yuan to save a lot of time, so he naturally doesn't care about it.

And it's not a good time to put the longline in the afternoon, anyway, you have to stay overnight, and the longline can't be put back again, so just wait for the evening.

Today's lunch, Zhang Ze deliberately came to a little mood, he cut a steak at the position of the beef rib from the market, which is what later generations often called tomahawk steak.

It was a buffalo who heard that his leg was disabled and could not work, and he was slaughtered by the old farmer in tears and sold for money, and it was a coincidence that he was able to buy it this time.

So he bought a lot of them, and the rest was frozen in ice cubes in the fish tank, and when he got back, he would get some Western food for his family to taste.

Zhang Ze experimented with it himself, and found that the round pot was still a little difficult to operate with his cooking skills, and the surface of the steak was a little old, but it was okay.

Sprinkle some ground salt and black pepper, then boil cauliflower, noodles, fried eggs, and barely make a four-way steak set.

There is no knife and fork, just grasp the bone and gnaw it.

After a bite, Zhang Ze nodded with satisfaction, the cooking skills were a bit of a failure, but the beef was good, the man didn't fool him, he was indeed not an old cow.

After eating, Zhang Ze took out the shrimp pot and the ground cage, and stuffed some small squid bought from the dock into it as bait.

Both the shrimp pot and the ground cage have a long rope and float, so you can just throw it down the side of the boat.

Of course, it is also necessary to detect the depth of the water, and these have to be placed at the bottom of the water to be most effective.

After putting the cage away, it's not too late to wait until about 12 o'clock at night.

The weather in late May was hot, and today the temperature reached 28 degrees.

In addition, the wind and waves are calm today, and the sea breeze has not been blown.

Fish won't have an appetite when it's hot in hot weather, and even a 30% increase in the chance of catching a bait with regular bait won't work well.

He simply went back to the wheelhouse, turned on the small electric fan that came with the ship, and rested coolly.

Whenever this time, Zhang Ze is particularly nostalgic for future generations. At that time, the larger ships were basically air-conditioned, so you could take a nap.

In fact, if you can find a shaded place on the sea, even if the weather is hot and the sea breeze is a little cold, you can feel very cool.

However, now that the sun is empty, Zhang Ze can only hide in the cab.

This sleep came to about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had already run to the west.

Walking out of the cabin, the temperature had dropped a lot.

Looking at several isolated islands nearby, Zhang Ze drove the boat to the side shadow of the nearest isolated island, basically the fish near the isolated island will hide in this position, they are also afraid of heat.

Then he took out the small squid, cut it into small pieces, threw some down to make a nest, and then went to take out the fishing rod, tied the hook and line, exchanged it for ten ordinary baits, and began fishing.

There is still a certain difference between having a nest and not nesting, and when you don't have a nest, you have to use ordinary bait to see if you have found a gathering place for fish.

The speed of loading the fish is also sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and it is difficult to connect the rods.

After the nest is opened, a large number of fish gather, and the effect of ordinary bait can basically reach the level of a connecting rod.

No, it was only ten seconds after the bait went down before the rod moved.

Zhang Ze raised the fishing rod and stabbed the fish, and lifted a flower-bodied chicken fish directly out of the water.

"I didn't get off to a good start today!"

Zhang Ze felt a little sorry after seeing the fish, the flower-bodied chickens and fish are generally very small, and the fishing nets and longlines are usually caught.

However, the slightly larger ones of longline fishing can be sold, and the nets are very small, and they are directly treated as trash fish.

He only looks like half a catty, but he can be steamed directly at night.

Then I continued fishing, and then I fished until dinner time.

He caught a lot of fish, but his luck was only average, or even a little bad for his usual catch.

Two large golden drum fish, both of which are more than a catty.

Three three or four pounds of sea bass, two five or six pounds of red fish, yellowfin sea bream and black sea bream, and even several pepper sea bream.

As for the grouper, he only caught a green spot in his early three pounds.

This is also the reason why although there are a lot of fish, he feels that his luck is a little bad, and there are too few groupers.

However, the five dollars he spent hanging the bait had been earned, and he felt that he had a good idea to spend money to find someone to help.

Put away the fishing rod, Zhang Ze is going to make dinner, but in addition to a flowery chicken fish for dinner, he is also going to see the harvest on the shrimp pot, and come to eat a lobster at night.

First drive the boat over and pull up the ground cage, who knew that there was a big surprise just pulled up, in addition to some pike crabs, there were some very good large prawns, which looked like ten catties.

And not only that, he also saw several lobsters mixed in the pike crabs.

So he hurriedly put away the cage and poured all the contents on the deck, and suddenly saw a super-large flower dragon.

Zhang Ze hurriedly went over to put the lobster into the space, and then saw the weight and suddenly smiled from ear to ear, a big flower dragon of eight catties and seven taels.

It's a pity that such a big one is still not a lobster king, and the flower dragon can grow to more than ten catties.

There are a total of six lobsters here, and all of them are flower dragons, which makes Zhang Ze look excited.

Because the lobster's territorial awareness is very strong, since there are so many of them, the probability of lobster harvest will not be bad.

So he hurriedly put all the seafood on the deck into the space, otherwise he wouldn't be able to put it in when the shrimp died.

Then he immediately pulled up the remaining shrimp pots thrown into the water one by one.

They were all pulled up and placed on the deck, and because of the presence of sea snakes, he did not rush closer.

After waiting for a while, he didn't see the little cutie sticking out his head from the mouth of the shrimp pot, so Zhang Ze picked up the bamboo pole and put the shrimp pot down one by one.

Seeing that only some lobsters crawled out, he knew that there were no sea snakes this time.

As he thought, all the shrimp pots were filled with flower dragons, all of which were put into the space, and thirteen flower dragons were caught in one afternoon.

The weight is more than forty-seven pounds, and according to the price of Hualong, the overall value has exceeded one hundred.

This harvest was much more reliable than his usual net, Zhang Ze re-stuffed some bait into it, put the rolled out stones away, and threw the shrimp pot back into the ground cage.

There is such a harvest in the afternoon, and maybe more in the evening.

So in the evening, Zhang Ze directly took out a three-pound flower dragon, two very fat pike crabs, and ten palm-length prawns into the kitchen.

Another day of too much purine.

After dinner, it was not early, and it would be a good time to put the longline.

Zhang Ze walked into the cockpit to start the fishing boat, kept the speed of the open sea at a low speed, and then came to the stern of the boat to start the longline.

One is placed closer to the island, and the other is placed in an open area.

After putting two of them, Zhang Ze thought about it and simply put the remaining two down.

If you collect it together at night, you don't need to get up so early tomorrow, and you don't have to go back directly after the second night.

However, he placed the two longlines on the other side of the island, so as not to overlap the effects of ordinary baits.

After putting the longline away, Zhang Ze took out a recliner and looked at the night, leisurely.

In the past week, he has raised the space to nearly twenty-two, and it is estimated that he will be able to raise it to twenty-two tonight.

Secondly, the sea snake caught last time is also currently in the space, and he originally planned to take out part of it to make wine himself, give it away, and sell the rest, but it was suddenly interrupted by something on Nanguang's side.

Zhang Ze's original plan was to wait for Tong Shuyao's child to be born, and then consider moving to Nanguang when the child is older.

But now that the plan has changed, the sea snake has other plans.

As we all know, the recipes of Nanguang people are relatively outrageous, and all kinds of dark ingredients will appear on the market.

The sea snake soaking wine was expected to be very popular over there, so he simply waited until there to sell it.

After resting for a while, he felt that his stomach was not so supportive, so Zhang Ze got up and continued fishing.

Just now, the longline was released, and the fishing boat was in a position closer to the isolated island, so he didn't bother to continue to adjust the position, so he started fishing directly.

The probability of grouper fishing at this location is still quite large, and it is obviously the time for them to move, and Zhang Ze also hopes to have a good harvest.

However, he didn't know that at this time, a group of fish with explosive combat power came to the bottom of the water. They are not inferior to groupers in terms of size or attack power, and when they form a certain size, they directly scare away other scattered fish.

This three or four pounds of grouper was attracted by the bait and swam over, and the next moment a large purple-red fish that was more than twice as big as it slammed into it directly and bit into the bait.

The fishing rod suddenly bent down fiercely, Zhang Ze's eyes lit up, there was a big fish, and he hurriedly raised the rod to stab the fish.

The fish at the bottom knew that they had been fooled, and immediately struggled violently, scurrying back and forth under the water, and the fishing line also swinging back and forth, so that Zhang Ze could only keep holding the fishing rod and wrestling with the fish.

But he is very excited, the refreshing feeling of catching big fish is really irresistible, and he will not get tired of it at all.

Judging from the pulling force, Zhang Ze guessed that the fish was estimated to be about ten catties.

After a while, when the fish was tired, he quickly retracted the line, and soon pulled the fish from a depth of more than 40 meters to the surface.

Under the light, Zhang Ze saw the purple-red figure on the water surface, and suddenly it turned out to be a red fish.

After getting closer, while it was not paying attention, he immediately copied it with a copy net, and then lifted it up.

The length of sixty or seventy centimeters is about the same as he estimated after being put into the space, just over ten pounds.

It's not bad that the grouper didn't catch the red friend, although the price is much cheaper, but the weight base is there, and the income is still very objective in terms of catching more.

The start of the night was good, Zhang Ze hurriedly hung up the bait and continued fishing.

As a result, before the bait sank to the bottom, it was cut off at a depth of more than ten meters, and Zhang Ze, who was holding a fishing rod in his hand, was dragged directly into the side of the boat.

"Damn, what did you catch?"

The muscles in Zhang Ze's body suddenly tensed, and the explosive force hurriedly inserted the fishing rod into the pedestal.

With the help of the pedestal ship's side, he only had to hold on to the fishing rod to prevent the fish from washing its gills, and he was suddenly much more relaxed.
