Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Jade Bald Fish

This is the first time Ah Hui has gone to sea to fish, so the waiting time is somewhat apprehensive.

As a person who grew up by the sea, I also know that not every time I go to sea, there is a harvest, and I have to see whether the sea rewards or not. Although the vast sea is rich in products, sometimes it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

There are too many ocean vacuums.

Just like no man's land on land, the ocean also has a fishless sea area, which is very inhospitable.

"Prepare to set up the net." Shui Wang shouted to his eldest brother.

He saw that Brother Hua had begun to close the net.

There is a winch machine on the ship to help collect the net, so you don't need to exert a lot of effort to collect the net, as long as you make sure that the winch machine is not crooked.

After a while, the nets came out of the water, and everyone saw the harvest inside.

"It's a horsehead, or a red-headed one." Shui Wang said happily.

The first network got off to a good start, which helped a lot to boost morale.

Ah Hui looked at the net with two or three hundred catties, and also smiled.

"Is horsehead fish expensive now?" He has just been back for a few days, and he has not yet fully grasped the seafood market.

"It's okay, there are more than ten pieces of white horsehead fish, and red horsehead fish are in their early twenties."

In other words, the value of this net is more than 5,000 yuan, is it not better than Ah Hui and his delivery? He was glad that he listened to the persuasion this time and did not continue to fight.

Zhang Yaohua's side is similar, they are all red horsehead fish.

The two struggled to get the catch onto the boat, poured it on the board, took out the basket, and began to clean up. Once the basket was loaded, it had to be immediately sent to the cabin and covered with crushed ice.

"Brother, look, there is also a Tsing Yi." Zhang Yaowei said happily.

Found in shallow waters with rocky or coral reefs between the tropics and subtropics, the green tin swims in the water with pectoral fins. The body color and body shape are very varied, and the body color and body shape are also different depending on the male and female and the age.

"Hmmm! It looks like it's more than five pounds. ”

Zhang Yaowei shook his head: "More than that, there must be more than six catties." Unfortunately, not Napoleon wrasse. ”

Both species are long and oval-shaped, with rounded and convex heads and beautiful patterns. However, the bulge between the eyes of the Napoleon wrasse is more obvious, while Tsing Yi does not have this obvious feature.

Zhang Yaohua rolled his eyes: "You dare to catch Napoleon wrasse?" ”

Tmallfish and Napoleon wrasse look a bit alike, but the price difference between the two is huge. A pound of wrasse can be sold for more than a thousand, while the green silverfish is only about 100 per catty, a difference of more than ten times the price.

Napoleon wrasse is still a protected animal in China and cannot be caught at will.

At present, almost all of the wrasse on the market are imported from abroad.

So what's the point of this protection? Are we protecting, people are fishing, are we thinking that animals from all over the world are coming to China for refuge?

"Huh! Can't. ”

Zhang Yaowei dared before, but since he saw someone being arrested, fined, and sentenced, he didn't dare.

After tidying up, they continued to go down the net.

Two nets of horsehead fish were fished, Zhang Yaohua and their side estimated that they had more than 600 catties, while Shui Wang's side was slightly more, maybe close to 800 catties.

At Zhang Yaohua's suggestion, they continued to move forward and fish in another area.

Although you can continue to fish for horsehead fish here, there must be fish that have slipped through the net, but how can there be a reason to kill them all?

In addition, the main reason is that Zhang Yaohua thinks that the price of this kind of fish is average, and there is no need to pull a boatload of horsehead fish back and leave some space for other fish.

Shui Wang and Ah Hui naturally have no opinion, they are both hugging their thighs, and everything is under the command of their thighs.

The time came around noon, and Zhang Yaohua and the others ate the prepared lunch halfway. Mom and Ah Zhen are not perfunctory, there are vegetables and meat, and even soup.

At this time, Zhang Yaohua let go of the net again.

In fact, they had already cast a net before, but there was no gain, and they even dragged up half of the net of garbage.

Zhang Yaohua did it deliberately, otherwise every time he let the net go down, it would be a big gain, what do people think? Is it really Mazu's special care?

The moment the net was lifted, Shui Wang and they jumped up on the boat with excitement.

"! It's a tonguefish, which is great. ”

As the name suggests, this fish looks like a big tongue and is also called a jade bald fish.

Jade bald fish is a fish that lives on the bottom of the sea, has high requirements for water quality, and likes to live in clear waters, so there is less fishy smell, jade bald fish is like a ribbon fish, and it dies as soon as it is caught.

The current season is the time to eat jade bald fish.

As the saying goes: eat crucian carp in spring, sea bass in summer, jade bald fish in autumn, and anchovy in winter.

This fish is not beautiful in appearance, but it is expensive because it has few spines and is delicious, so it is highly regarded by diners.

"! There are a lot of more than one pound, this is going to be sent! Shui Wang shouted.

Most of the jade bald fish seen in the market are about half a catty, about 20 yuan. A smaller one can buy two or three for more than ten yuan, which is cheap and good.

However, the bigger the jade bald fish, the more expensive it is, and it is common to see jade bald fish weighing more than 1 catty in restaurants, and it costs about 90 yuan per catty.

For more than a pound of jade bald fish, they fishermen sell it to fishmongers for 60 or 70 yuan.

If the fishing moratorium is approaching, it can even be sold for about 100 yuan.

Ah Hui is also full of energy.

They cast a few more nets back and forth, until there were only a few jade bald fish caught.

Zhang Yaohua's two brothers caught more than 1,000 catties of jade bald fish, and one-third of them were more than one catty.

Shui Wang and Ah Hui caught more than 700 catties, and more than one catty also accounted for about one-third.

They looked at the time, and it was almost three o'clock.

"Why don't you stop here today!" Ah Hui suggested.

He is satisfied, excluding the cost of gas, today's income is more than 10,000 yuan.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yaohua.

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "Okay, go back first." ”

When they returned to the fishing village, it was already evening.

This was the longest day Zhang Yaohua had been at sea, and he spent almost twelve hours at sea. For Zhang Yaowei and Shui Wang, this is the norm, and when they used to go out with the shipowner, the minimum was one day.

Azure is waiting for smoke and rain, and Daliang is waiting for them.

"What's the catch today? It's been a day out. "Daliang greeted him.

"I can't compare with the previous two or three times today, and the one who can show my hand is the tonguefish."

"Oh! Is it big or not? I'll see. ”

Daliang walked to the boat and took a few looks, and was surprised to find that there were quite a few alpaima more than a catty.

"So much?"

You must know that this fish lives on the bottom of the sea, it is not easy to catch, it is not the main fishing species, and it is the target of bycatch.

But Zhang Yaohua: More than half of the fish they caught were jade bald fish, which is a bit powerful.

After some regular bargaining, more than a pound of jade bald fish is 65 yuan, and the others are 20 yuan, including those red horsehead fish.

Shuiwang's western star group sold for 600 yuan, and Zhang Yaohua's green silverfish was only 500 yuan.

Aside from the Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo, just seafood, the two brothers Zhang Yaohua charged about 10,000 yuan more than Shuiwang.
