Chapter 426: Lilac Fish (2-in-1)

After traveling for half an hour, the fishing boat arrived near Dinghai Bay.

From a distance, you can vaguely see a beach that is not very long.

On the right side of the beach, there is a small town called Xiaocheng, and if you go further to the right, there is the famous pirate village.

Li Duoyu did not get too close to Dinghai Bay, but was about three or four nautical miles away.

Although the sea is vast, it does have territory, and if you rely too close to someone else's fishing area, you will be disliked by the local fishermen.

It's normal, though.

Just like if other fishing villages come to fish near Dandan Island, they will also be disliked by local fishermen.

For the sake of unnecessary trouble, it is better to keep a little distance.

Lilac fish is distributed throughout their province, and as far as Li Duoyu knows, there are several small fishing grounds in the province that have this kind of lilac.

There is a Saika Reef on Dantan Island, which is the place where Li Duoyu fishes for perch, but that place is a tuyere, and the sampan boat is shaking badly, so it is not suitable for using a large iron pot.

There are also a large number of cloves in the Niushan Fishery in the island county next door, but it is a bit far away, and it takes more than an hour to drive the boat to the past.

In the waters near Ludao, Li Duoyu is not very clear, but there are also a lot of cloves on Dongshan Island, where the uncle and the third uncle are currently located.

It seems that on the other side of Dongshan Island, the lilac fish is called "Rao Zai".

Of all the fishing grounds, Dinghai Bay is said to be the best, and the sea breeze is not so strong, so it is suitable for using large iron pots.

In addition, there is a special reason, that is, there are many fewer trash fish here than the fishing spots he said.

Often, if you catch it in one net, most of it is clove, so you don't need to choose much.

As for the other fishing spots, it is difficult to say, maybe a net is fished, and there is a mess.

In addition, in the past, the place of Dinghai Bay seems to have applied for a national geographical indication product of clove fish.

In his previous life, Li Duoyu and that old Tang had fished lilac together, but they really never came to Dinghai Bay to fish.

And the clove fish they produce here is obviously more expensive than other places, so there should be a "place for fishing".

The way to catch clove is very simple, you don't need any skills at all, just put the net into the sea, as long as you make sure that it doesn't sink, just drag it away.

Lilac fish eat plankton and live in almost all of the surface layers of water, and do not swim too deep.

Some old fishermen can identify where the lilac fish congregate by the seabirds they hunt, as well as some of the accumulated experience.

But in this era, the clove fish has not yet been developed, and the quantity is very large, and it does not require much skill to catch this fish.

Directly "vigorously produce miracles".

Li Duoyu threw the net tied to the bamboo into the sea, and then opened the oil valve of the sampan boat to the maximum.

As the sampan boat moved forward, occasionally some small fish were frightened and jumped out of the sea.

Several athletes jumped directly onto the deck, and Li Duoyu picked one up and observed.

The fish was not small, about five centimeters long, and the body was vaguely transparent, with a half-silver and half-gold scale in the middle.

Li Duoyu frowned slightly, but he didn't think that he had just started fishing, and he ran into a golden thread fish.

Chen Wenchao asked, "Brother Yu, is this the fish you want to catch?" ”

Li Duoyu shook his head:

"No, don't catch this kind of fish."

Chen Wenchao also picked one up and asked curiously, "What kind of fish is this?" ”

"This one"

To be honest, as an old fisherman, Li Duoyu really has a headache about the classification and name of these small fish in the sea.

Even the veteran fishermen are few who can explain the small fry in the sea.

Chen Dongqing, who works at the Fisheries Research Institute, frowned and said: "This kind of fish, if it's right, it should be a petrel." ”

"That's right, it's a petrel."

Li Duoyu echoed and said, in fact, strictly speaking, this fish is not exactly a petrel fish, and local fishermen call this fish goldenrod.

It can be said to be the same as the petrel fish in the mouth of the small mouth, the only difference is that the petrel fish is silvery white after drying.

After this kind of golden threadfish is dried, the lower body of the fish is yellow, so it is called golden threadfish.

Li Duoyu remembers that Jiaodong seems to be the main production area of petrelfish, because the tail fin is deep forked, just like the tail of a swallow, so it is also called petrelfish.

My uncle was studying in the vicinity, and when he saw the fish, he immediately recognized it as a petrel.

And this kind of fish is relatively cheap, and in the previous life, it was also popular as a snack for a long time.

Most of the small dried fish in grocery stores that cost a pack of one or two dollars are made from this kind of fish.

In the coastal area, there are many small fish similar to petrel fish, there is also a kind of doll fish on Dongshan Island, which is also super similar to petrel fish, and the white sail fish in Maoming is also called petrel fish.

There are even many fishermen who confuse petrel fish with sea snakefish.

In the traditional sense, the sea snake refers to the clove fish, and the petrel and the sea snake are almost the same sound, and when they scream, they are completely chaotic.

In short, Li Duoyu has become numb to the name of the sea fish, and sometimes it is another name next to a village.

I thought that there would be fewer trash fish here, but I didn't think that I would catch a golden thread fish at the beginning, that is, even if there are few trash fish here, it is estimated that there will be no less.

Lilacs are small fish, no better than plankton, and belong to the species that are preyed on in large quantities.

The size of the golden threadfish is several times larger than it, and maybe these golden threadfish appear here to hunt the lilac fish.

As one of the main producing areas of clove fish, the number of cloves in the bay will definitely not be small, and it is inevitable that it will attract predators.

The sea is a place where the law of the jungle is interpreted to the fullest, there are very few "vegetarian" marine creatures, and 99.9% of the fish are carnivores.

It is often a biological chain in which big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat plankton, and plankton eat various algae.

Sure enough, the fishing boat didn't go far before it came across a black ball.

And this black ball is the posture of the little fish after being frightened.

In his previous life, Li Duoyu was also very bored, and when watching those short videos, he felt that every time Xiaoyu encountered a crisis, he would shrink into a ball, wouldn't it be very stupid.

Later, I once played with my grandson with sandbags.

When he loses one or two, he can still catch it, but if he loses four or five at the same time, he often can't catch even one.

Because there are too many targets, I get distracted, so I don't know which punching bag to take.

The same principle is that schools of fish gather together, and when they are gathered, they are indeed effective in preventing them from being broken by a single person, but predators are not stupid.

They tend to break their defensive formations, separating one or two fish and breaking them individually.

After seeing the little black ball, Li Duoyu hurriedly asked Chen Wenchao to light the firewood and began to set up a pot to boil water.

Li Duoyu drove the sampan boat and rushed directly towards the small black ball.

Then, he killed a horse pistol.

After repeating it several times, Li Duoyu could clearly feel that the speed of the boat had slowed down, and the net pocket that pulled the net could also be clearly seen to bulge.

Li Duoyu stopped the fishing boat and began to manually drag the net to the left side of the sampan boat.

Chen Wenchao, who was boiling water, saw that the net bag was very large, so he hurriedly came over to help and pulled the net bag to the boat together.

Seeing this, the younger brother-in-law Chen Dongqing also wanted to help, but as soon as he took two steps forward, three people, plus a net full of small fish, were all pressed on the left side of the sampan boat.

The hull tilted in an instant.

Li Duoyu, who was pulling the net, almost planted himself in the sea, and he shouted immediately: "Don't come here, if you come here again, the boat will capsize." ”

After Chen Dongqing sat back in place, he was also shocked, he just clearly felt that the boat was completely tilted to the side, and it was about to capsize immediately.

Li Duoyu, who was also taken aback, couldn't help but say: "You are a person with glasses, can you be a little self-aware, and you don't have a lot of strength, just sit on the other side of the counterweight, and you don't need to help pull the net." ”

The corners of Chen Dongqing's mouth twitched, feeling offended.

There are a lot of trash fish in this net, and in addition to the lilacs, there are also some sardines, as well as the seedlings of mullet and baranga, which are quite troublesome to pick.

Li Duoyu said: "We only need this kind of fish, and we don't want other small fish, you help divide the fish, I will sort out the pull-down net, and continue to catch the next net." ”

And when he started to divide the fish, Chen Wenchao made a difficulty, because in this whole pot, even if he picked out those trash fish that were easy to recognize.

But there are still a lot of fish that look very similar, Chen Wenchao grabbed two transparent fish, one large and one small, and asked:

"Section Chief Chen, are these two fish the same species, why do they look so similar, but why are they so different in size."

Chen Dongqing frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"This big one should be a small whitebait, and the small one is a small lilac, if you look closely, there is a line in the middle of the clove fish, and there is no line in the middle of the small whitebait, and the small whitebait is generally larger."

"That's right."

Chen Wenchao suddenly realized, grabbed a completely transparent fish and said: "Then this one without a black line is a whitebait." ”

Chen Dongqing nodded: "That's right, there is a black line in this abdomen, which is the clove fish." ”

"Then I understand."

When Chen Wenchao asked just now, Li Duoyu wanted to teach Chen Wenchao, but he didn't expect his uncle to know how to distinguish.

However, he is an aquatic major, so it is normal for him to understand this, although he seems to have said the wrong kind of fish just now.

It took about half an hour for Chen Wenchao and his brother-in-law to pick out all the miscellaneous fish, and Chen Dongqing, who usually works less, hammered his waist.

"Dividing fish is more tiring than fishing, this fish is like glass, and I feel like my eyes are almost blind."

Now the whole wooden basin is full of dense clove fish, which looks like transparent sweet potato powder.

It has been more than an hour since the fish entered the net, and it feels like if it is not dealt with immediately, it will soon rot into porridge.

At this time, the water in the big iron pot was also boiling, and the lid of the pot made a "popping" sound.

Li Duoyu poured a whole pot of fish into the boiling soup.

Clove fish is very fragile, when boiled, it is very easy to break, when cooking is the need for techniques, the old Tang has taught him before, pay attention to "three floats and two sinks".

It's like scalding beef shutters, and it is a truth to "go up and down seven times".

Li Duoyu held a large fence in his hand, and relied on the rotation of the fence to make the clove fish float from the bottom of the pot through the current.

Li Duoyu said to Chen Wenchao while pounding the water: "Next time you cook the clove fish by yourself, don't use too much strength, be like me, otherwise the fish will easily disperse." ”

"Understood, Brother Yu."

"And when you get out of the pot, you must drain the water, you can't pour it directly into the bamboo plaque, you have to shake it, let the cooked clove fish separate, otherwise it will be a mess, and when the time comes, it won't be sold for a good price."

Chen Dongqing on the side wrinkled his brows: "Duoyu, have you ever caught this fish, otherwise how can you know the details so clearly, and the technique is so skillful." ”

Li Duoyu, who had been asked to be numb, replied casually: "I learned from the local fishermen on Ludao, this fish is called homesick fish on their side, and overseas Chinese like to eat it." ”

Chen Dongqing frowned, and his intuition told him that this nephew was really wrong, and there were too many things.

But what he said is really right, this fish is indeed called homesick fish in Ludao, and the yield of this fish there is not small at all, and it is really possible to learn from the fishermen over there.

After pulling a few nets, Li Duoyu found out why the clove fish in Dinghai Bay are good, there are trash fish, but there are not many.

And he tried a few bites of boiled clove fish, the taste is really good, relatively fresh and sweet, not so fishy, it may have something to do with their local sea area.

And Li Duoyu only pulled six nets, and his small sampan boat was already "full".

After sorting.

So far, the three of them have caught more than 300 catties of fresh clove.

The full load of this boat can reach a ton, but because in addition to three people on the sampan boat, there is a large iron pot for boiling water, and more than a dozen bamboo plaques containing cooked clove fish.

There was almost no place for them to stand, and the sampan boat had to return to Dantan Island.

When I went back, my brother-in-law Chen Dongqing remembered a very important thing: "Duoyu, what price does this fish charge, why do you say that it is a rich fish." ”

Li Duoyu pondered.

Considering that Director Liu is forced to be in a hurry, the price given will be so outrageous, but for the long-term and healthy development of this industry.

Li Duoyu felt that he needed to adjust the price a little.

"This clove fish, if it is fresh fish, it is almost five cents a catty, and if it is dried, it is almost two pieces of five."

After hearing the price, Chen Dongqing, who was smoking, opened his mouth unconsciously wide, and the cigarette almost fell into the sea.

"Damn, this fish is so expensive?"

"Who's collecting this fish?"

Chen Wenchao was also taken aback, how could the fish that everyone couldn't look down on before suddenly become so valuable.

Li Duoyu grinned and said: "This is a trade secret, you can't tell you, if you want to know, give me a thousand yuan." ”

Chen Dongqing looked at Li Duoyu and saw his chicken thief's expression: "It must be more than this price, you kid shouldn't have made a lot of money from it." ”

"How is it possible, like the village chief who serves the people wholeheartedly, you can't find it with a lantern, and you don't want to think about how much this kind of fish used to be."

Chen Wenchao nodded frantically: "I think Brother Yu is right, not many people wanted this kind of fish before, the price is always cheap, and I often feed chickens and ducks directly." ”

Chen Dongqing rubbed his waist again: "Oh, it's really difficult to divide the fish, my waist is almost sore, you have to count me for the money you make today." ”

"That's got to you, one-seventh of the income to you."

Chen Dongqing's eyes widened and said:

"Ah, why is it only one seventh, and there are only three of us on the ship, isn't it one third?"

Li Duoyu calculated carefully:

"The three of us will remove three shares equally, and then the boat is mine, deduct one share, and the fuel fee is also paid by me, and then deduct one more, the fishing location and sales channel are all mine, and in your hands, isn't it just one seventh?"

Chen Dongqing's eyes widened more and more, looking at the nephew in front of him in disbelief, he really wanted to go back to ten years ago.

When the time comes, he will be the first to report this nephew, and he will be the first to report it, and he will be a proper Li pickpocket, go to the faction, and speculate.

Seeing his uncle gritting his teeth, Li Duoyu said, "Just kidding, I will give you one-fifth of the income." ”

"No, at least a quarter."

Li Duoyu changed his words: "I'm not such a stingy person, it's not a problem to give you one-third, it's the shrimp seedlings of the shrimp, you have to hurry." ”

At this moment, Chen Dongqing really wanted to scold people, and he really wanted to kick his nephew into the sea.

This is really a hundred heart eyes, going around and around, actually for that shrimp seedling.

Chen Dongqing couldn't help but scolded: "You are not liked at all, you have to be righteous and know how to respect your elders, after all, I am still your uncle." ”

Li Duoyu looked disgusted:

"It's good if my wife likes me, and the leader likes me, I don't care if you like me or not."

Chen Dongqing was speechless on the spot.

found that he couldn't argue with him at all, so he picked up his cuffs on the spot.

"Your uncle, there is a kind of direct heads-up."

"Childish." Li Duoyu glanced at him and said to Chen Wenchao: "Xiaochao, my uncle is a little smelly, throw him into the sea to wash it." ”

"Brother Yu, that's not good." Chen Wenchao scratched his head.

"What's wrong, when we were kids, we always played like this." Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Don't forget, I'm not only the village director, but also your boss." ”

Chen Wenchao was entangled for a while, his eyes suddenly became firm, and he smirked: "Section Chief Chen, I'm sorry." ”

Chen Dongqing panicked instantly.

"Xiaochao, I'm joking with Duoyu, it's obviously a bickering, you don't really want to throw me down, right?"

"It's okay, I'm very watery, you'll be fine, I'll save you immediately."

"it."

"That's not right."

"Duoyu, you won't be real, I've already fallen into the sea once today."

Li Duoyu looked disgusted: "You have to fight with me." ”

"Then you can't ask Xiaochao to help."

"I'm the boss, how can the boss end up in person."

"Grass ~ Capitalism of All Evils."

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Chen Wenchao really jumped into the sea with his uncle.

The uncle, who was soaked all over again, grabbed the edge of the boat with both hands, and looked at Li Duoyu angrily: "Fuck, you also roll down for me, otherwise I won't go up." ”

"Okay, then I'll go down too."

Li Duoyu smiled, then took off all the clothes on his body, and also plunged into the sea and swam happily.

At this time, Chen Dongqing caught Li Duoyu's clothes and soaked them in the seawater.

"Holly, you're so vindictive."

"Your clothes are so dirty, I'll do your laundry for you."

After the three of them played in the sea for a while, Chen Wenchao looked at the fins not far away, and suddenly changed color and said, "There are sharks." ”
