little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 17 Harvest
Zhang Miao, who got up early, continued to run and exercise in the morning. Spring has come, and the temperature has picked up a bit, making it more suitable for morning running.

After running home, Zhang Miao immediately started to pack up, going to collect the net.

Zhang Liye was ready. He cast three fishing nets yesterday, and he was looking forward to some harvest.

Zhang Miao, who was carrying the fish box, also felt a little nervous. The new fish spot for the net was proposed by him.Zhang Miao is not sure whether some of his own suggestions and some of his experience summarization will have particularly good results.

Feeling a little nervous at this time is naturally a very normal thing, and there is no need to be surprised at all.

The father and son started the fishing boat and set off. They were going to collect the nets.

"Dad, the fish situation looks pretty good today." Zhang Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are fish."

Zhang Liye smiled and explained, "It's okay, yesterday's waves were relatively big, and there was a lot of food on the shore."

There is a lot of food, which will naturally attract some small fish and shrimps to look for food in the offshore.Their existence is also likely to attract more fish schools, which is the key factor for the good fish conditions today.

It's just that right now it looks like the 'big environment is good', it's hard to say whether there are fish in the fishing nets or not.

The small sampan is slowly sailing along the coastline, success or failure depends on it!

Zhang Liye stopped the fishing boat. At this time, Zhang Miao had already picked up the hook and carried the buoy with the fishing net onto the boat.He can still do this job well, as for more complicated work, he may not be able to do it well.

Zhang Liye took over naturally, tidied it up briefly, and then hung the network cable on the take-up machine.The wire take-up machine started to work, and Zhang Liye was also standing on the side of the boat. Occasionally, he still needed to pull the fishing net, so he couldn't completely rely on the wire take-up machine.

Suddenly Zhang Miao was a little excited, and he shouted, "Dad, there are fish!"

Zhang Liye looked towards the sea, and soon smiled, "It's not bad, it's a good start!"

This is just a green oyster, which is an aquatic product with a relatively low market price.But no matter what, there are fishes anyway, and this is a pretty good 'starter'.

"Also!" Zhang Liye smiled and tugged at the net, then shouted, "Two fish came up, good luck today!"

Zhang Miao didn't see the second fish, mainly because Qingzhan was already dead.

Zhang Miao skillfully took the first green zhanyu, which was still alive and kicking, out of the fishing net, and then threw it into the basket beside him.The second fish was also taken down. This fish was a little bigger, estimated to be around three taels.

Zhang Liye was really happy pulling the fishing net, "It was right to cast the net here yesterday, there are so many fish here!"

The third Qingzhan fish came, followed by the fourth and fifth Qingzhan fish.It's hard to say whether it's a "catch all in one catch", but there should be a group of herring here, which is why the catch looks good now.

Zhang Miao's main job is to take down these herrings and throw them into the basket.These herrings with relatively low market value are favored in large quantities and do not require much care.

"Wow!" Zhang Liye suddenly swears, and he is a little angry, "There is a lot of garbage in the sea, and there is even more garbage on the shore!"

A broken wine bottle got tangled in the net and slightly cut the fishing net, which made Zhang Liye definitely upset.

Zhang Miao, who continued to be busy fetching fish, said, "Dad, let's go down with this net at least, and it is estimated that there will be [-] to [-] catties of fish!"

Zhang Liye glanced at the fish frame and was in a good mood, "Not only that, the net is only half retracted. If you keep it up, it's possible to lose [-] catties!"

Qingzhanyu is indeed cheap, and it is normal to pay four or five yuan a catty at the wharf.Cheaper, not for nothing.

Qingzhan is very similar to horse mackerel, but the price difference between the two fish is very large.

There are more than one hundred Qingzhan fish, all of them are about three or two in size, and occasionally there are one or two weighing nearly half a catty.

This really wiped out all Qingzhan's fishes, and Zhang Liye was able to have such a harvest, which naturally made Zhang Liye smile.Such a harvest is not considered a big profit, but it will definitely not lose money.

In addition to these Qingzhan, there are two or three swimming crabs of average weight, and a squid.This can be regarded as an unexpected harvest. If there is no more harvest, this can be taken home for a toothbrush festival.

"Squid boy!" Zhang Miao was a little dissatisfied, and said, "It would be better if the small tube!"

There are also many types of squid, with the saying of "big tube" and "pen tube". The squid with a fatter trunk is called calamari.Squid with a slender body, its name is squid.

The price, of course, is not a small difference.Relatively speaking, the price of the pen tube is higher.

"Go back to Bai Zhuo." Zhang Miao looked at this kind of young squid that didn't grow up. This is musket squid.

Hearing what his son said, Zhang Liye also laughed, "Alright, you can eat it as a snack when you get home."

Zhang Liye didn't think much of the little baby squid, mainly because the market value was not high, and there was only one.If there is no other harvest in the future, maybe this baby squid will be thrown back into the sea.

The first fishing net was simply tidied up and piled up at the stern, so naturally it was necessary to continue to set off and collect the net.

Because of the good harvest brought by the first net, the father and son also had more expectations for the second net.

"Yes!" Zhang Liye was very happy. As soon as the second net started to be drawn, he saw the fish, "It's still Qingzhan!"

Zhang Miao frowned, this should not be Qingzhan fish school.At that time, when he chose to cast nets here, it was because the fish and shrimps here were relatively mixed.Could it be that the herring is constantly migrating and looking for food along the coastline?
"Dongfeng snails, two!"

While Zhang Miao was still thinking, Zhang Liye's excited voice came.

Flower snails, Nanfeng snails, these are the names of this kind of square-spotted Dongfeng snails.This kind of conch shell is brighter, the meat is delicious, and the price is relatively high.Due to overfishing, the number of wild flower snails is relatively small, and most of the market is farmed flower snails.

As for the muddy Dongfeng snails among the Dongfeng snails, it has a particularly strong muddy taste, and it is really a lot to eat.

Zhang Miao was happy and eager to try, "Go back to Baizhuo!"

Dongfeng Luo came again, and now Zhang Miao couldn't help but start to worry.If the harvest continues like this, these Dongfeng snails will be sold.

Zhang Liye laughed, and said as a matter of course, "Whether it's white or not, let's see the harvest. If I catch more, I'll sell them."

It's not that Zhang Liye is stingy and reluctant, but mainly because fishermen's life is like this.Even though it seems that some seafood is often caught, when the price of those seafood is relatively good, more of them are still sold in the market.

"If the harvest is good today, we won't eat conch, but buy a duck!"

Hearing what his father said, Zhang Miao nodded repeatedly. This proposal is naturally quite good.

Fujian likes to eat duck, or duck meat is better in the market here.

Zhang Miao also likes to eat duck meat, but he has higher requirements for duck meat. Maybe because he usually eats more ducks, his requirements have become higher unconsciously.

Zhang Liye continued to collect the fishing net happily, and the harvest this time was generally good.Although the types of fish and shrimp harvested are relatively mixed, and there are no particularly high prices, it is obvious that the quantity is enough.

For Zhang Miao, now he also needs to start more tedious work. He must do these things well. This is the job of a fisherman.

The first fishing net was basically green, just take it off and throw it into the frame.

But now that I occasionally catch Qing Zhan, I naturally continue to throw it into the box.If you have a conch, put it in a bucket.Swimming crabs came, and Zhang Miao needed to tie them up and throw them into the bucket.

A [-]-[-]-heavy prawn arrived, and Zhang Liye immediately took it off and put it into a small bucket filled with seawater. This prawn was fresh because its price was relatively high.

It is necessary to classify the fish into different categories. Naturally, different catches have different processing methods.Don't bother, after all, that's what they do, what they do for a living.

Zhang Liye looked at the catch in the bucket and smiled happily, "Three prawns, this net is good!"

Zhang Miao showed a confident smile, "Dad, there is still a net! We can definitely have better harvest!"
