After sorting the fish, the young crew members were so tired that they collapsed to the ground.

The second uncle looked disgusted.

"Just sit and rest?"

"Hurry up and clean up the trawl, the seaweed and miscellaneous things hanging on it must be cleaned up, and check if it is broken, if it is broken, use a shuttle to make up for it."

The young crew grumbled.

"I've just finished doing things, so I don't let people have a good rest."

"What is there to rest, it's going to get dark soon, hurry up and clean the net."

"It's lazy like this, it's the first time that people have fished with the boat, and the deck is still cleaned by him."

At this moment, Chen Liang regretted a little that he agreed to his father to get on the boat, thinking that getting on the boat was to catch fish and pick fish, but he didn't think that there were so many chores.

He glanced at his father, no wonder every time he went out to sea to fish, after he came home, he just buried his head in sleep for a day or two, and he was really tired when he went out to sea to fish.

Clean up the trawl.

After cleaning the deck, the young crew were all hungry and tired.

At this time, Uncle Zhuang in the room knocked on the iron basin with a shovel, making a "clang" sound.

"The meal is ready."

After hearing that the meal was open, Chen Liang rushed to the room as soon as possible and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, just wanting to fill the rice and eat.

If someone took the lead, the other young crew members also ran over to see this.

When Uncle Zhuang saw these young crew members, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't wait for him to speak.

Chen Liang's father knocked his head on the spot and scolded: "When you get on the boat, you think it's the same as our family." ”

"On the ship, we have to obey the rules, the boat boss hasn't come to eat yet, and we can't move the dishes and chopsticks."

"And the first net to go to sea has a bumper harvest, you must worship the dragon king first, you are really ignorant, hurry up and put down the dishes and chopsticks."

Chen Liang touched his head.

whispered: "You didn't teach, how do I know." ”

"I didn't teach, you won't learn, what do you use your brain, that person has a lot of fish on the boat for the first time, how can he understand everything."

Li Duoyu, who had just boarded the boat on the side, twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard it, and he couldn't help but sneer: "Can you not give me hatred casually." ”

After the meal is ready.

Uncle Zhuang put the meal on the bow of the boat.

The uncle took the lead, lit three incense sticks with matches, and then gave one incense stick to the third uncle and him.

Under his leadership, the three of them worshiped the Dragon King separately.

After all, this time it was three ships going to sea together, and there were three ship bosses.

To be honest, Li Duoyu was very reluctant to these cumbersome rules when he was young, and even felt that it was not necessary.

But as he grew older, coupled with the last time he went fishing with his third uncle, he found that the rules on the fishing boat were very important.

The most important thing is to ensure the majesty of the ship boss, otherwise in a relatively closed space, if there are no rules, it is easy to do bad things.

The first thing the crew does when they get on board is to be obedient, and once they are found to be thorns, they will be fired 100%.

In addition to following these rules, there are also some folk rules that are unique to the ship.

For example, you can't sit down for your first meal after a flight.

The boss of the boat must crouch close to the big mast, leaning against the mast behind him, and the rest of the people must crouch in a circle with the boss as the midpoint and facing inward.

Uncle Zhuang cooked a big iron pot mackerel rice, and it was eaten up by everyone in less than ten minutes.

Even the pickled pork bone soup was drunk.

By the time everyone had finished eating, it was already completely dark, and several young crew members were sitting on the deck of the ship smoking cigarettes.

But after a while, he was called back by his second uncle.

"It's dark."

"Not on the other side of the deck, get into the cabin."

Although Chen Liang and the others were a little reluctant, they obediently returned to the cabin.

They know this, and when they used to listen to ghost stories, they had heard them told by others.

If the fishing boat stays overnight in the open sea, except for the crew of the night watch, the rest of the crew must return to the cabin, not to stay on the deck, let alone near the sides of the boat.

Otherwise it would

Thinking of this, Chen Liang looked at the dark sea, and suddenly felt a little creepy.

And after dark.

Led by Li Duoyu, three fishing boats sailed to a nearby uninhabited island.

If you spend the night in the open sea.

The fishing boat had to drop anchor.

But anchoring is not casual.

When anchoring in deep water, the water depth should generally not exceed a quarter of the length of the anchor rope, because the anchor rope is generally pulled diagonally, so that it can be pulled steadily.

And the place where Li Duoyu was just now, the water depth was at least sixty or seventy meters, that is, as long as the anchor rope was more than three hundred meters.

The anchor lines of the three of their ships were not enough, and the place just now was all reefs, so it was not suitable for anchoring.

Once the anchor is stuck on the reef, it is quite a collapse, and if you don't do it, you have to abandon the anchor, and the loss will be huge.

Normally.

Fishing boats that spend the night at sea will try to find an uninhabited island nearby if possible.

As long as there are small islands, it proves that the nearby sea is definitely not particularly deep.

Experienced ship bosses generally choose to anchor on the sandy side of an uninhabited island.

Because the mud and sand bottom is the most suitable anchor, you can drag the fishing boat to the death, and you don't have to worry about the anchor getting stuck in the crevices of the reef.

However, the fishing boats do not dare to get too close to the island, and will keep a relatively safe distance.

If you get too close, the waves will be bigger because of the reaction force of the obstruction.

At the same time, I am also worried about whether there is anything unclean on the island that comes in the dark, after all, in this era, there are still many people who take risks.

After dark.

Li Duoyu turned on the ship's radar and monitored the situation on the sea surface at any time.

Inside the cab.

Li Shuguang, the lobby brother who slept with him, turned on the radio and listened to the radio.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that this product especially likes to listen to "enemy Taiwan".

And they just eat the enemy's set.

When I listened, I couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, you have been to the island country, do you say that the island country is more advanced now, or the overseas province is more advanced." ”

"Surely an island nation."

"Overseas provinces are already so advanced, and if the island countries are more advanced than him, wouldn't that be very powerful."

Li Duoyu nodded, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Their housing prices at this time are indeed very powerful. ”

Although the overseas provinces at this time were the four Asian tigers, in this era, even if these four were all combined, they were not enough for the island countries to fight.

At this time, it was still Xiao Jiang who managed the overseas provinces, and Li Duoyu remembered that he had just come out of prison.

Xiao Jiang left because of diabetes, and was replaced by a dog Dengzi who was a "spiritual island countryman" to take over the baton, and since then the relationship between the straits has begun to move towards confrontation.

Li Duoyu suddenly remembered the old soldier who gave him the water pump, and asked, "Shuguang, have you met that veteran recently?" ”

Li Shuguang shook his head and said, "I ran into him again last time, and I didn't touch him later." ”

"That's right."

Li Duoyu sighed, originally when he planned to take Zhou Xiaoying back to his hometown, he would go to the veteran's hometown by the way, and then ask for clues about Ma Xiumei.

But after having a child, he couldn't run away at all, and he had too many things to do recently, and Xiaoying also had to teach, so he never did.

Li Duoyu plans to go to Zhou Xiaoying's hometown during the summer vacation, and help the veteran find his wife by the way.

Li Duoyu looked into the distance.

There was a faint light there.

Li Duoyu knew that there was a coastal city there, and as long as he went ashore from there, he could take another ten hours by car to reach Zhou Xiaoying's hometown.

With the undulation of the waves.

Li Duoyu fell asleep.

Following.

Before dawn, Li Duoyu was woken up by the sound of knocking on the bamboo tube.

And the young crew members are all listless, and they are still thinking about lying in bed.

The second uncle directly pulled open the quilt and scolded: "If you want to put it in the fishing team, if you lie in bed like you, the captain will definitely pour a bucket of cold water on you." ”

After waking up.

Uncle Zhuang has already made breakfast, and there are not so many rules for breakfast, usually whoever arrives in the room first can eat first.

And those who lie in bed, if they come late, they may be eaten up for breakfast, and they will only be hungry.

Before dawn, the fishing boats were moving in the direction of the current.

Li Duoyu took the lead in driving the boat out for a big circle, and then used the walkie-talkie to communicate with the third uncle's trawler.

After trawling down to the sea.

Everyone was full of anticipation, and some even sang the trumpet, hoping that they would make another big net of mackerel like yesterday.

Whereas. When the net was closed this time, the net package was also very large.

The young crew were happy.

"I've exploded the net again, and I've made a fortune again."

But a few old fishermen standing at the stern of the boat noticed that something was wrong after looking at the floating net bag.

Under normal circumstances, the net bag does not surface so quickly, and the net bag looks very pale in color, as if it has fished out a net of seawater.

In fact, they have already guessed what is in the net bag.

The third uncle and uncle, as well as Li Duoyu, the three boat bosses looked at the net bag in front of them, and they all showed a wry smile.

This net has overturned!

A whole net of jellyfish.

Normally, July and August are the peak season for jellyfish fishing.

But it's only early April.

Unless the waters warm earlier this year, it is impossible to catch jellyfish.

If the sea warms up early, it will definitely be a good thing for the kelp fish.

After the sea warms.

The kelp will grow like crazy, and if it lasts for a month, it is estimated that the kelp will be harvested again in late May.

At this time, everyone looked at the whole net of jellyfish and made it difficult.

The second uncle smoked a dry cigarette.

"There are a lot of these jellyfish, and each one is very big and fat."

"There's yarn, this thing is heavy and big, it's not cost-effective."

"How much is this net, just don't want it all, and start another net, maybe the next net will be mackerel."

Li Zhengfa, the boss of the boat, thought for a while: "This month's jellyfish is quite expensive, let's pick it up, process it, and pull it to a nearby dock to sell." ”

As soon as the third uncle said this, the old fishermen on the boat suddenly realized that they always thought that jellyfish were very cheap.

But they forgot that there are very few jellyfish in this month, and the probability that they can catch jellyfish in this month may be lower than that of catching large yellow croaker.

Scarcity is expensive.

Maybe the price will double, and if you have a hundred dollars, that's pretty good.

Immediately afterwards, the old fishermen put the baskets on the "urea bags".

Such a heavy jellyfish can't be lifted at all, or the same as before, the boat boss Li Zhengfa "hoisted Weiya" down and untied the net.

And it's not the same as before.

This time, everyone was obviously prepared, and took out an extended version of the fishing net, one net and one jellyfish, and pulled it directly to the deck.

The old fishermen were fully armed, with water shoes on their feet and gloves on their hands.

Jellyfish are poisonous.

Once it is hooked on by its tentacles, it is exciting to think about.

Li Duoyu was stung when he was on the beach before, and the hot sting is still fresh in his memory.

The old fishermen all sat on small benches, the first one, after seeing the jellyfish being fished.

The second uncle quickly cut the jellyfish head and jellyfish cap with a knife, and pushed them to the eldest uncle behind him.

Unlike ordinary creatures, the jellyfish head they are talking about here is not the round one on the top, but the harder part of the jellyfish tentacles.

And this is also the most delicious part of the whole jellyfish, and some fishermen like to call it "jellyfish claws".

The jellyfish head has a very crisp texture.

If you want to have jellyfish head, you can add a cucumber, minced garlic, coriander, and sesame oil, and it will be perfect.

As soon as he thought of this dish, Li Duoyu's saliva couldn't help but flow out.

Unfortunately, if you give birth to jellyfish, you can't make that kind of strong taste, and you have to dehydrate it several times.

And the jellyfish hat that looks like a mushroom head, after treatment, is the well-known jellyfish skin.

When the second uncle and the eldest uncle were handling the jellyfish, Uncle Zhuang also came over to help.

Seeing that they threw away a lot of jellyfish material, Uncle Zhuang said distressedly:

"This jellyfish brain and jellyfish blood are good things, don't lose them."

The second uncle said in disgust:

"It's too cumbersome to deal with, and you can't sell it for money, if you really want it, you can get it yourself."

The jellyfish brain that Uncle Zhuang said is not the brain of a jellyfish, this thing really has no brains, but the gonads of a jellyfish, just like the crab roe of a crab.

Because this thing breaks down very quickly, it is difficult to store, and if you are not a seaside person, it is difficult not to eat this thing, and it is very delicious to use for stewed soup.

And when making jellyfish brain soup on Dandan Island, two eggs will be beaten into it to make jellyfish brain egg soup.

"It's a pity to lose such a good thing, I'll make you this jellyfish brain soup at noon today."

Li Duoyu also took a small bench and sat down: "Uncle Zhuang, do you want me to scrape some jellyfish blood and fry some cabbage to eat." ”

"Yes."

But in the next second, Uncle Zhuang and the second uncle asked curiously: "It takes skill to scrape jellyfish blood, can you scrape it?" ”

Li Duoyu smiled: "You guys are underestimating me." ”

In everyone's surprised eyes, Li Duoyu picked up a small bamboo scraper, turned over the jellyfish skin, and then scraped off the red film inside.

In fact, Li Duoyu doesn't understand why this film is called jellyfish blood, it may be the color.

However, if this layer of film is scraped off, blanched, and used to stir-fry, it is really a must.

Jellyfish are treasured all over their bodies, and in summer, fishermen often cut them into shredded and shredded various sauces and eat them as cold noodles.

"Duoyu, you have a good shave, I don't shave as well as you."

"Awesome."

"Tut-tut, it's really amazing, you kid is hiding very deeply."

Li Duoyu laughed twice, he wouldn't tell Uncle Zhuang that for a person who has been doing sashimi for more than 20 years, it is really trivial to engage in this.

And the young crew member behind him frowned and looked at Li Duoyu, especially that Chen Liang.

It was really hard for him to believe that the person in front of him was the same person as the Li Duoyu he knew before.

In the past, he and Ah Gui were real bastards, and they often blocked them in the corners of the wall and used all kinds of hands and feet.

Sometimes, as soon as they have two packs of cigarettes in their pockets, they give them away, and if they want to mix in the village, they have to give them regular protection money.

Although everyone says he has changed.

But Chen Liang still didn't want to believe that a person would change so much in a short period of time.

Even if he raised kelp, oysters, and eels, he felt that his brother-in-law Chen Dongqing helped him.

It can be seen that he scraped this jellyfish blood, scraping it so neatly, Chen Liang frowned and thought about it.

It's hard to become a plum fish

He used to be such a bastard who pretended to be, otherwise, he would have been able to do anything.

See him there in a daze.

Chen Liang's father patted him on the head: "Hurry up, study hard, if you want to mix on this boat in the future, you must know how to handle any seafood." ”

Chen Liang complained: "Dad, can you stop beating me on the head, I'm not smart in the first place, what if I am stupid the more you beat me." ”

"If you don't hit the head, you will be spanked."

"I'm so old, you still spank me, if I let others know, how can I find a wife."

Chen Liang's words amused everyone. (End of chapter)
