Zhao Dahai returned to the dock and inquired, not only his other fishing boats that went to sea, but also few of them had a decent harvest, packed up the fishing boats, picked up a bucket of turbid seawater, vented his frustration, splashed forward hard, and washed the deck of the fishing boat.

"The sea!"

"Are you going out fishing tomorrow?"

Liu Bin stood on top of his fishing boat and shouted at Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai sighed, the sea water is very turbid, there is no fish for two consecutive days, I really don't know if I will continue to go to sea tomorrow.

Liu Bin watched Zhao Dahai go to the dock and go home, not to mention fishing in the past two days, he and Zhong Shizhu also had no fish for those who put fishing nets.

Zhao Dahai returned home and shouted "grandma", Zhong Cuihua answered in the kitchen, walked in and saw that he was busy in front of the stove, the rice had been cooked, and he was stir-frying, so he didn't let him take over, took the bowl and chopsticks and packed the rice, and waited for the dish to be served up to take a look, the fish ball soup, put the dried seaweed, and tasted it, the taste was much better than a few days ago.

"Still no fish?"

Zhong Cuihua took a sip of soup and took a bite of rice.

"Hmm."

"Didn't it be a gale and white-headed waves the other day? The water is muddy and the yellow mud soup is the same, and there is no fish normally. ”

Zhao Dahai was a little helpless, it was not that he didn't work hard, but God didn't appreciate his face, and he couldn't make the water in this sea clear overnight.

"If you don't have any fish in the sea, don't fish!"

Zhong Cuihua sandwiched a fishing ball and put it in Zhao Dahai's bowl.

"Huh?"

"Grandma."

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment, this is not to let himself not go to sea, he must be talking about something else. Don't fish? So what are you doing at sea?

"Huh!"

"There's so much to catch in the sea!"

"The water is muddy."

"Wouldn't it be nice to change it?"

Zhong Cuihua spoke slowly.

"Hey!"

"Grandma!"

"Don't sell it. I said it directly! ”

Zhao Dahai knew that Grandma Zhong Cuihua must have an idea.

Zhong Cuihua told Zhao Dahai that the water mix should not even think about fishing or casting fishing nets to catch fish, remembering that the older generation in the village put octopus tubes or something else at such times.

Zhao Dahai slapped the back of his head vigorously, he didn't think of this thing at first glance.

It's octopus season, and the key is not to be afraid of muddy water or even better water.

Zhao Dahai quickly finished eating, and immediately began to prepare, dragged out two hemp bags in the corner of the firewood room, his own Lao Tzu did not put a small octopus tube, everything is ready-made, this thing is almost exactly the same as the bamboo tube used to catch jumping fish not long ago, in fact, it is really a bamboo tube, pour it out and check it, the bamboo tube is fine, it can be used, but the rope is brittle after a few years, and it is broken with a little force, it must be replaced, take out a large bundle of chopsticks thick nylon rope, the bamboo tube has all been holed, the bamboo tube and the bamboo tube are ten meters apart, twenty bamboo tubes in a string, It took several hours to tie two foam buoys to each string, one end and one tail, and the ropes were all replaced with 50 strings and a total of 1,000 bamboo tubes.

Zhao Dahai stood up and moved his hands and feet, looked at the time, and unconsciously it was already three o'clock in the morning, he didn't go to sleep, cooked something, filled his stomach, packed up the bamboo tube and put it in two big baskets, the motorcycle was carried to the wharf, almost all the fishing boats left, the more no fish, the sooner he had to go to sea, and the more he couldn't make money, the more he had to work hard.

Zhao Dahai octopus tube was carried onto the fishing boat, poured on the deck, took a basket, picked up a basket of bricks on the fishing boat, tied a brick to each string of octopus tubes, sorted it out and put it in a convenient place, then started the diesel engine, did not run far, left the dock, and drove in the direction of the mangrove forest.

Zhao Dahai's fishing boat drove to the sea area of two or three hundred meters in the direction of the mangrove outside the sea, this seabed is different from the seabed in other places, the edge of the mangrove forest has been one hundred to two hundred meters out is a tidal flat, mainly fine sea mud, some time ago in this place to dig blood eels, continue to mix sand and mud outside, seven points of mud and three points of sand, octopus in this place.

Zhao Dahai looked down at the sea water and shook his head, almost exactly the same as the whole day, as turbid as the water of the Yellow River, fortunately he listened to his grandmother's words and came out to release the octopus tube, and it was another day of blind fishing. However, the octopus in this place is not native, the season and the tide are indispensable, whether you can harvest today or not, whether you can catch the octopus depends on whether God appreciates the face.

Put the octopus tube to choose the right position, to put a string of straight and taut line into the sea, the line is not tight, put in the sea, either entangled or cover a small area, no matter what the situation, don't want to catch octopus, especially it is impossible to catch a lot of octopus.

Zhao Dahai observed carefully, picked a sea surface with flowing water and began to put an octopus tube. The buoy of the octopus tube is thrown into the sea, followed by a brick tied to it, and with some oil, the fishing boat moves forward, dragging the remaining octopus tube into the sea so that the line can be stretched straight.

"Tubu!"

……

"Tubu!"

……

"Tubu!"

……

Zhao Dayu controls the fishing boat with one hand, and puts the octopus Jane with the other, and it takes more time to choose the position, and it is very fast when it is released, and the sky is already shining after the fifty strings are released. A string of octopus tubes and 20 bamboo tubes are a total of 200 meters long, and 50 strings are said to be more than a lot, and the place where the octopus comes out is basically full.

Zhao Dahai wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. There are many husband and wife boats or brother boats for offshore fishing, and the main reason is that it is convenient to work, and it is much more troublesome to control the fishing boat by yourself.

Zhao Dahai rested for a while, drove the fishing boat away, the octopus tube has to be at least overnight, and it can only be collected tomorrow morning, it is just dawn, the time of the day cannot be wasted, and you have to do it with or without money.

Zhao Dahai fished for a whole day, in the morning to fish for sand tip fish, in the afternoon to shake the pile, the harvest was very bleak, when it was dark to return to the dock, the fish caught were not enough to sell the oil money.

Zhao Dahai went home for dinner, took a bath, went to bed early, got up at three o'clock in the morning, cooked breakfast and went out to the dock, and drove the fishing boat to the place where the octopus tube was placed.

The sea breeze in the early morning was a little cold, and the flying sea water hit the face, a little cold, and when I looked out, there were lights on the sea surface one by one, all of which were fishing boats.

Zhao Dahai sighed, thinking that with a fishing boat, he could go to sea and make money, but now he found that it was not so simple. There are so many fishing boats and countless fishing nets, I will release them after you release them, and there are not many fish in the sea, how many can each person catch? However, there is no other livelihood, and it is not possible to let go, and the result is that everyone does not have enough to eat.

Zhao Dahai had a little headache. How can I earn money to support my family? Survival of the fittest, only change can live and live a little better, but it is easier said than done.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat, it didn't take much time to get to the sea surface of the octopus tube, I don't want to think about the things I can't figure out, the work is important, and I will talk about it later, a bamboo pole was erected on the deck, a light bulb was hung, and the high wattage could be seen within a range of seven or eight meters around the fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai was a little nervous, the water was too muddy these days, I couldn't catch fish, if the octopus tube had a harvest, I could continue to release it in the past two days, make some money, and if I didn't get it, I could only wait for the water to clear.
