Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry at all, steady as an old dog, one after another, the manta ray was pulled to the side of the boat less than two meters, and it looked even bigger now.

"The sea!"

"The fish is too big. You can't use the net! ”

"A hook without a long handle!"

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayong were in a hurry.

Zhao Dahai didn't expect that he would catch such a big fish, especially this is a manta ray, the largest diameter of the net prepared by himself reached one meter, but it was not enough to see in front of this fish, and the net on the fishing boat around was also a little small, and what was even worse was that there was no hook with a long handle, and the short ones did not work, and the devil fish flicked its tail when hooking, which would kill people, the fish was important, and life was even more important.

What to do?

Zhao Dahai looked at the manta rays floating on the water, don't look at the quiet and harmless appearance of people and animals now, it's just that he is tired, if he doesn't pull the fishing boat or doesn't pull ashore for too long, he will recover his strength, and he will definitely continue to struggle, and he may run away.

Zhao Dahai was a little helpless, and after spending half a day, he finally pulled out of the water, but he couldn't help it.

"Is there something wrong with your brain, you kid? Pull to the shore! ”

Zhao Shi got up early in the morning and was eating breakfast, someone in the village shouted that Zhao Dahai caught a huge manta ray at the small pier, threw the bowl, and came over immediately, just to see the manta fish pulled out of the water, Zhao Dahai didn't know what to do, and immediately yelled. Such a large manta ray pulled out of the water, and it would be a shame if it really ran away. This kind of fish ran away at such a chance, and it was impossible to catch it again.

Zhao Dahai's eyes lit up. Why didn't you think of this solution? The only way and the best way is to pull to the shore, their own fishing boat is to test the water from the shore, but it is about 20 meters from the shore, and the cable at the bow of the boat hooks the beach, as long as the fishing boat is dragged to the shore, you can go ashore.

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou reacted in the same way, pulling the cable to the beach to pull the fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai controlled the fishing line in his hand and pulled the manta ray forward in the direction of the fishing boat, the manta fish struggled for a long time and did not have much strength, like a good rabbit, he could pull as he wanted, the boat went to the shore and stepped on the beach, and continued to pull the manta ray to the shore, and it didn't take long to run aground on the beach where the waves were lapping.

Zhao Shi took the seven- or eight-meter-long stone bamboo pole on Zhao Dahai's fishing boat and held down the long tail of the manta ray.

Zhao Dahai put down the fishing rod and walked over, stepped on the tail of the devil ray, and pulled out the finger-sized stinger on the tail, then he put his mind at ease, pulled into the nostrils of the devil fish with both hands, and dragged it to the shore hard.

"Second grandfather!"

"You still have to be old to be experienced!"

Zhao Dahai sat on the beach, this manta ray exhausted all the strength of his body, and he had to take a rest.

"Humph!"

"With so many people here, none of them thought of it?"

Zhao Shi glared at Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai rested for a while, stood up, and found a big basket, the manta fish left the water and there was no stinger, and the soft stomach could only be slaughtered by others, carried into the big basket, put it on the back frame of the motorcycle, shouted at Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou to eat at home at noon, stepped on the accelerator, and drove to the town to sell fish.

Fortune Restaurant.

Liu had just finished collecting the fish sent over in the morning, and without finishing a cigarette, he looked at Zhao Dahai from a distance and rode a motorcycle.

How did you get here today?

Liu Gang is a little strange, Zhao Dahai has been selling blood eels for half a month for almost 20 days now, and he has not been here once, and he said that he has to repair the boat and stop fishing for the time being.

Zhao Dahai stopped in front of Liu Gang on a motorcycle, and without saying a word, he directly pulled open the plastic sheet covering the basket.

"Huh?"

"Such a big manta ray!"

Liu Gang was taken aback.

"Huh!"

"Just caught! Boss Liu, do you want it? ”

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand and wiped it on the manta fish, whether the fish was fresh or not, looking at the slime, his hands were full of slime, absolutely fresh.

"Huh!"

"How could it not be? Ten dollars a pound! ”

Liu Gang glanced at the manta fish in the basket, and after thinking about it for a while, he opened the price of ten yuan a catty.

"Boss Liu."

"Three or five catties of ten catties and eight catties of manta rays, let alone ten yuan, three or five yuan a pound are sold. This fish is more than 100 catties. Meat is nothing. The valuable thing is the cod liver. ”

"Otherwise, I'll cut out this liver and sell it to you. Don't want ten pieces. Eight dollars a pound sold! ”

Zhao Dahai will not be fooled. The manta ray is really not very valuable, and no one even wants it, for example, one or two catties of the kind of size, two or three yuan a catty, after catching this one by oneself more than 100, the value is immediately different, the real value is not the flesh of this fish but the liver of the fish, the liver of such a big fish is very large, this is the really delicious thing, and it is definitely the top delicacy for some people who like to eat.

"Yo!"

"No cod liver. Don't say eight pieces. I don't want any six! ”

……

"Why is the meat of a hundred pounds of manta ray not delicious? Take the vegetable market, you can't sell it for six yuan? ”

……

"Twelve dollars a pound!"

……

"Twenty-one pounds!"

"I won't sell it without that!"

……

Zhao Dahai and Liu Gang bargained, sold the manta fish for 18 yuan a catty, and looked at it on the scale, 123 catties and 7 taels, 2,226 yuan and 6 cents.

Liu Gang watched Zhao Dahai leave on a motorcycle, looked down at the manta ray, and immediately smiled on his aching face. The price of eighteen yuan a pound is indeed not low, but it can make a lot of money. Manta fish has no hard bones, only cartilage, the small manta fish has no meat, it is very soft and rotten, and it is not delicious at all, but dozens of catties or even more than 100 catties of manta fish in front of you, the fish meat can be used to braise with garlic and ginger, tender and sweet, the cartilage is crispy, very delicious, especially the fish liver of the manta ray, Zhao Dahai is right, this is the most valuable place for the whole fish.

Liu Gang shouted, the chef of the restaurant came out, and the two of them studied how to kill the manta ray to be able to come up with a whole fish liver.

Zhao Dahai rode a motorcycle to buy braised beef, pig scalp, etc., bought two bottles of wine, and returned to Langtou Village to call Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou, who helped him in the morning, and his second grandfather Zhao Shi, who ate meat and drank wine in the yard.

"Manta rays are really big! I guess it just swam from the deep sea with the tide. If you don't happen to see the fish, you will definitely return to the deep sea when the tide goes out. ”

Zhong Shizhu pinched a piece of pig scalp and put it in his mouth.

"Hah!"

"Zhao Dahai's luck is really amazing. Before the fishing boat actually went out to fish, it got off to a good start. ”

"That's a good sign!"

Lei Dayou smiled and took a sip of wine. A big manta ray of more than 120 catties, caught in a place with very shallow water like the small wharf in the village, you really have to be lucky.

Zhao Shi will drink a small sip of wine, eat a piece of pig scalp for a while, smoke a hookah from time to time, and don't speak, he is very happy in his heart, Lei Dayou is right, he has caught a big fish without going to sea, which is really a good sign.
