The third uncle's fishing boat is a single trawl, and when the net is unloaded, it is still a bit complicated and dangerous to operate, and it requires the cooperation of acquaintances.

And novices like Li Duoyu are forbidden to go to the stern of the net, which is a high-risk area, and if you walk around, you will be entangled in the net rope and take it down, which is no joke.

Although the work of trawling nets was often done by Li Duoyu in his previous life, in this era, Li Duoyu is just a rookie who has never fished in everyone's impression.

It is impossible to involve him in the work of putting the net.

When ready to go off the net.

The third uncle was in charge of driving the boat, the eldest uncle stood at the stern and was responsible for putting the nets, while the cousin and the second uncle stood on both sides of the stern, where there were two large curved mesh plates.

The whole bottom trawl consists of a net bag for fish and crabs, a float, a weighted sinker, a net board and a drawstring.

The mesh plate is the core component of the trawl.

Once this thing is under the sea.

It will make the mouth of the trawl automatically open to both sides.

Prevent the net rope from becoming entangled.

After the uncle threw all the nets down, the remaining nets kept going into the sea just like the next strip due to the pulling force of the sea.

The main duty of the eldest uncle was to prevent these "noodles" from becoming entangled, and after the floats and sinkers of the trawl had gone to sea, the cousin and the second uncle had to hang the rope buckles on the net plates on both sides of the stern in advance.

If this step is not done.

It is estimated that the person who forgot the lanyard buckle will have to be a "water ghost" to go down to catch the net.

After the mesh board goes down,

The bottom trawl is almost placed.

And at this time, everyone can go to relax and relax, rest when it is time to rest, and go to boo when it is time to boo.

Because then, it's the captain's business.

The captain had to pull the trawl in a certain direction for two or three hours, depending on his own experience.

And at this stage.

The biggest fear is that the trawl will be hung on the reef or cut by other things.

Once the trawl is hung or broken, all crew members are expected to have to repair the net on board all day, and if the damage is too severe, they will have to return to the sea.

Uncle when they went to rest.

Li Duoyu stood on the deck and looked at the two tugboats, one large and one small, not far away, judging from the distance they kept, they should be double tugboats.

The two boats pull a net together, so that the trawl can be opened very wide, and more seafood can be caught, and a double trawl like this kind of boat needs more crews, and the two boats add up to more than 20 people, otherwise they will not be able to pick up the goods at all.

The fishing boat went east for about two hours, and the sun's rays turned yellow, and the third uncle planned to pull up the net before the sun went down to sea.

So the speed of the fishing boat began to slow down.

The third uncle didn't even need to be notified, and all the crew members who felt the slowdown of the fishing boat left the cabin one after another and returned to their posts.

With the trawl being retracted.

The net bag at the stern of the boat is also gradually coming out of the water.

Li Duoyu also took a closer look, the net bag was very large, and the catch was at least half a ton.

But the catch is very mixed, and it feels like there is everything.

After seeing this net bag, the nearest uncle couldn't help but scold: "It's a mess again." ”

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

For them, the more single types of seafood they catch, the better, and the more miscellaneous they are, it is time-consuming and laborious to pick and choose, and it is difficult to sell them for money.

With that, the net packet is unraveled.

Thousands of pounds of seafood covered half of the deck, live crabs ran around, hundreds of oil eels and seven-star eels were like snakes, scurrying around, and all kinds of sea fish.

Li Duoyu found that there were not many crabs in the trawl, most of them were red-dotted round-toed crabs, which were locally called red-dotted crabs.

Not all crabs are delicious, and this red-spotted crab is one of them, it doesn't taste fresh, the meat is not sweet, and the only thing that has economic value is its crab legs, which will be used to make drunken crab claws.

In this era, this kind of crab is caught, and it can't even be sold at the price of trash fish, so it is either pulled to make crab sauce for people, or shoveled back into the sea.

In addition to the red-spotted crab, the largest production should be the halffish, that is, flounder, which is very diverse, including flounder, flounder, and sole.

In addition to this fish, there are also many boss fish, that is, rays, which are fish that you will often feel when you see it in the aquarium and smile at you.

The biggest problem of boss fish is that it is not resistant to storage, and fresh boss fish will emit a smell similar to ammonia after a long time, and no one generally eats it in this era.

In addition to this, there are also many skinned fish, so to speak, this net almost gathers the most difficult fish species to sell at the moment, and it is a proper money-losing net.

And the slightly more economic value is the nine-section shrimp and cuttlefish scattered in the fish school.

There is a nine-section shrimp at Li Duoyu's feet, much longer than his palm, this thing is definitely a sought-after item in later generations, at least two hundred per catty, and it is often priceless.

The third uncle who drove the boat, after coming down from the captain's room, saw these seafoods, his face was also super black, and this net fish was a proper loss of money for him.

Since it is the first net, according to local customs, it cannot be thrown into the sea, and must be pulled ashore to sell, and if it is shoveled, it is said that it will be bad luck for a year.

"Load it up, load it up, pull it to the shore and see if you want it, if you don't, give it away."

Followed by.

Everyone began to pick up fish, and the same kind of fish had to be placed in the same basket, and at this time, the tall rain boots that Zhou Xiaoying gave him came in handy.

When picking fish, if you don't have this thing, if you get bitten by those eels, you will have to suffer, and many of the sea fish have thorns.

The tail of the boss fish is highly poisonous.

There is also a thorn on the head of the skinned fish, after all, everyone is begging for a living in the sea, and they all have more or less brought some "self-defense weapons".

The eldest uncle who was sitting next to Li Duoyu picked it up and taught him at the same time:

"Duoyu, that kind of boss fish, you must not catch its tail, if you want to be stabbed, it will hurt your feet cramps."

"When you catch this prawn, don't catch the shrimp head, there is also a big thorn there."

"And when you catch a cuttlefish, don't use it in front of people, or you'll ......"

Before the eldest uncle could finish speaking, he was nourished by the cousin opposite him with cuttlefish juice, and his whole face was black, and he wiped his eyes with his clothes.

As a result, the clothes were all black.

The eldest uncle couldn't help but scolded: "Li Qiusheng, are you a fool, you have been out to sea for so many years, and you still spray people with your cuttlefish mouth." ”

"Send some, I didn't mean to."

"Then you let me give you some nourishment."

After seeing this scene, everyone laughed, and soon with the cooperation of a group of people, thousands of catties of seafood were sorted, and then everyone fetched water together to rinse these seafood.

Then put them in the cabin.

In those days, the vast majority of fishing boats had no cold storage and no ice, and if they didn't return to port immediately, they had to sprinkle coarse salt on the seafood to prevent it from rotting.

And this kind of coarse salt fish, after landing, generally does not sell at a high price, and in the end most of them will be bought and dried into dried fish.

After picking the fish.

The group of people who went to the net at the beginning will leave, and as for things like cleaning the deck, it will naturally be the turn of newcomers like Li Duoyu.

The third uncle's fishing boat doesn't have a water gun.

If you want to clean, you can only keep carrying buckets to fetch water in the sea, and then rush buckets to the deck.
