little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 197 Loss
After three days of rest, they were finally able to go to sea again, which also made Zhang Miao and the others a little excited and excited.

When the crew members arrived, Zhang Liye immediately set off with the team.Zhang Miao and Xu Pengfei were in the same boat, driving the small sampan at home. Their task was to retrieve the crab pots.Li Haoyuan followed Zhang Liye to collect the eel cages.

"The big boat is still comfortable, but this small boat is too small, and it will capsize in a little wind and waves." Xu Pengfei couldn't help complaining, but he wasn't polite. "And this small boat is too old. .”

Zhang Miao gave a thumbs up and praised, "It seems that you are a qualified fisherman, and you have put your word on it."

Xu Pengfei immediately felt complacent, and said with great emotion, "That's not true! Although my hometown also pays attention to this aspect, I really didn't expect that your side is so traditional and likes to pray to gods and Buddhas so much. Although for these things , I don’t particularly believe in it, but I respect your traditions.”

This is a very good thing, you don't have to believe in these, but you also need to respect other people's traditions.

Things like overturning the boat will not be mentioned at all, and the side will not be overturned when eating fish. Many details still need to be paid attention to.In many cases, words like 'button' and 'sail' are used instead.Whistling or hands behind their backs on a boat, etc. These are also relatively sensitive, and they will be very concerned.

People here like to repair temples, offer incense, and pass it on orally from generation to generation, and many people are used to these things.

The fishermen cannot be blamed for being superstitious. Sometimes they also seek peace of mind.After all, there are too many uncertainties and risks when going fishing at sea.

Zhang Miao set off in the fishing boat, they were going to collect the nets, they were going to start a new day of work, and they were trying their best to draw a perfect end to this year.At this time, they must not be idle. They have to work harder at this time, especially after taking a few days off in the past two days.

It seemed that there was no problem. Zhang Miao felt that his buoy was in a good position, and he didn't seem to have encountered any unpleasant things. This is a good signal.

Skillfully picked up the buoy, Zhang Miao said, "It looks good, and I should be able to catch some crabs."

Hearing what Zhang Miao said, Xu Pengfei also became happy.These crab cages have been thrown in this water for four days, and now it is time to take them back.In this sea area close to the reef, Zhang Miao thought that there were many crabs here, so it was worth taking a gamble.

Zhang Miao, who started to collect the net, was full of confidence. He saw some crabs.Although the crabs looked like they were still underwater, it was hard for them to escape Zhang Miao's sharp eyes.

It doesn't matter that there is nothing satisfactory in the first cage, and there are three flower crabs in the second cage, but two are not enough size.The good news is that there are more than one or two remaining crabs, which can basically be said to be of sufficient size, and it will definitely not have a chance to return to the sea.

"Today we must make a small profit. We will get these things done in the morning, and we will go to sea to release the net in the afternoon." Zhang Miao laughed, talking about the work plan with a smile, "We will also go around the sea today. A little bit big."

Xu Pengfei nodded, thinking that such an arrangement is no problem, "Today's waves are a bit big, but if the boat is a little bigger, there will be no problem, and it can be overcome."

"You really fell into the eyes of money, and you worked harder than me." Zhang Miao couldn't help laughing, and asked half-truth, "Have you considered the matter of the house? Are you going to settle down here or go back to your hometown?" ?”

Xu Pengfei was a little confused and a little uncertain, "How can I say that I have some money in hand, and my family can probably sponsor a little bit, but the down payment for a small apartment is not enough. I want to stay here, but I am worried that I will be able to pay for it in the future." Can't take root. Don't buy a house, but the house price keeps rising, and there is pressure."

It is normal to be under pressure. The current housing prices are indeed too high. Many people have almost become house slaves in this life.

If parents don’t give some support, the vast majority of young people don’t want to buy a house right away. After a few years of hard work, they may not be able to save a down payment. The increase in housing prices has always been, which is worrying.

The two of them were chatting while continuing to collect the crab pots. This was no difficulty for them, and they could be regarded as experienced fishermen. Naturally, doing these things was handy and practice made perfect.

Suddenly Zhang Miao felt that something was wrong. The cage was closed smoothly, but gradually felt that the thread could not be pulled.

After a little bit of force and tugging, Zhang Miao's expression became serious.If there is no accident, the cage should be hung on the reef, or entangled by other things.

"Let's change the angle." Xu Pengfei also noticed it, and said to Zhang Miao, "I'll drive the boat forward a little and see if I can put the cage away."

Of course it needs to be like this. If you pull it hard, it is very likely that the main line will be overwhelmed, or the cage will be destroyed directly.

In fact, if only one or two cages are destroyed, that is acceptable.If the main line is cut off, it will not only be the loss of one or two cages, but maybe a dozen or twenty cages will be gone.

Production tools such as crab cages should not suffer too much loss, this is their awareness.The cage is not particularly valuable, but it should be able to reduce the loss as much as possible. You can't encounter a little difficulty and just think about cutting the line directly. That is unacceptable anyway.

What's more, there may be a lot of crabs and conch in the remaining cages, which are also relatively valuable, and we must not end up in such an embarrassing situation of "losing both people and money". The cage is brought back.

Even if there is a little loss, it should be to minimize the loss as much as possible, this is what should be done.

Xu Pengfei can be considered to be able to drive a fishing boat, and this is also a little practice.Although it is unlikely that he will be at the helm at ordinary times, under special circumstances, Xu Pengfei can still be allowed to steer the fishing boat a little bit to deal with emergencies.

"Going forward, I guess it got stuck." Zhang Miao felt depressed and worried, "There are still [-] cages confiscated. These cages are likely to be bad luck, and our loss may not be too small. .”

Xu Pengfei was driving the fishing boat, and he also gave his own analysis and judgment, "It may be that the waves were a little bit bigger, and our cage rushed to the rocks and got stuck."

This seems to be the most normal kind of judgment. The speculation Xu Pengfei said probably happened just like that. This is the reason why Zhang Miao and his crab cages are now entangled.

Of course, Zhang Miao also has some small luck in her heart now. I hope that the situation will not develop in the worst direction. I am looking forward to a small turning point, and I am looking forward to being a little bit lucky. of favor.

Turning the bow, Xu Pengfei carefully steered the fishing boat to change direction, and Zhang Miao naturally couldn't be idle at this time, carefully pulling the line in his hand, trying to free the stuck crab cage.

This is obviously not that easy, but it is not necessarily an absolutely insoluble problem. Zhang Miao thinks there should be no big problem.

Idle is just looking forward to a smaller loss this time, I just hope that more of my crab pots can be preserved, this is what Zhang Miao cares most about now.

When the crab cage suddenly loosened, Zhang Miao was finally able to close the cage again, which seemed to show that Zhang Miao's strategy of "rescuing the crab cage" was successful, and he could continue to carry out the next work in an orderly manner.

"It's probably the problem of the waves. These cages are all biased." Zhang Miao felt a little helpless, but there really wasn't much to do. "How about this matter, just get used to it. things to face."

Xu Pengfei didn't think there were any surprises, such things were normal, "It's not bad, it's just that a few cages have been destroyed, most of the cages are not bad, and they can still be used."

This can probably be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. Although a few crab cages were indeed destroyed, the overall loss is acceptable. Naturally, there is no big problem. You can accept such things with peace of mind. .

Continue to keep the cages, four or five cages are biased, because of the scratches on the reef, etc., they are basically dead, and basically lost their value. This is considered scrap, Zhang Miao and the others lost much There are also some.

For Zhang Miao and the others, in addition to the loss of these cages, it was also because the crab cages were taken off course, so they were somewhat off course, or were overturned and the entrance was blocked. There is no reason why Zhang Miao and the others are too satisfied with the catch now.

The obvious thing is that the crab pots caught on the main line and the crab pots in the second half basically have no catches, occupying about one-third of this group of crab pots.

Zhang Miao had no choice but to accept that such a thing happened. Xu Pengfei felt that although it was a bit unlucky, he was not too annoyed. The main reason was that no fisherman could escape from such a thing. Things are basically what fishermen have to come across.

I just hope that the next catch will be better, I just hope that the next set of crab pots can bring a satisfactory harvest, it seems that this is the only way to go.

It seems that luck is really bad. The first group of crab cages suffered a lot of losses, and the second group of crab cages was probably overturned by the underwater undercurrent. It is estimated that the entrance is generally blocked by the ground.

You can find fish and shrimp, and you can find a lot of crabs. If you can’t catch them, there’s nothing you can do. This is nothing but dragon-slaying skills!
