little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 39: Catching Squid ([-])

The appearance of small miscellaneous fish made Zhang Miao feel complicated. The fish he caught temporarily was better than nothing, and had no special economic value.

It would be a lie to say that he is not disappointed, Zhang Liye is also a little anxious now.Taking my son out to sea to catch squid, not to mention that it is more exhausting in the middle of the night, and there are certain risks in going to sea at night.

Leaving aside the voyage, the fishing lights have been on for an hour, but there is still nothing to gain or discover.

It is certain to be anxious, and Zhang Liye is also feeling that he has not found anything, maybe he will return empty-handed.If you continue to wait like this, and continue to consume like this, the power of the generator will not be able to keep up.

Zhang Miao was also in a hurry at this time, nothing was found on the surface of the sea, and nothing was found on the surface of the sea.Even sporadic catches are generally worthless, which is more urgent.

Continue to wait patiently, this can be regarded as "the heart will never die until the Yellow River", it is definitely not worthwhile to go back home at this time.It must be consumed until the electricity in the battery is almost exhausted, and it is necessary to "go all the way to the dark", and it is unrealistic to change places at this time.

After almost an hour and a half, Zhang Miao suddenly became excited, and the squid he had been waiting for finally appeared.

It got caught in a fishing net without surfacing, and that was enough.This is a good sign. The squid finally arrived. Although it was a little late, it came anyway.

Zhang Liye was a little anxious, sighed and said, "I guess we can wait an hour before we close the net."

"Wait a little longer." Zhang Miao looked around, still confident, "There will definitely be squid, let's wait a little longer."

Zhang Liye didn't say a word, it was necessary to continue to wait, but if the time was up, Zhang Liye would definitely close the net and go home.Of course it is necessary to wait, but there is no need to wait forever.

Suddenly Zhang Liye laughed, quickly stretched the net to the sea, and then lifted it up gently.

A squid was caught just like that, about two or three, neither too big nor too small.

"It's okay, the fish is finally caught." Zhang Liye smiled and put the squid into the fishing box, "The squid is coming."

Zhang Miao nodded, also full of anticipation, "It should be coming slowly, maybe the fishing net has caught a few by now."

Zhang Liye also had such expectations. The squid on the sea surface could be caught with a dipping net. It would be great if the fishing net caught more squid.On the fishing needle side, we also need to look forward to some gains.

Zhang Miao, who was still looking for squid, saw a squid slowly swimming towards him, and immediately lowered his net into the sea.The squid didn't seem to be aware of the coming disaster at all, and was still swimming slowly, but was caught in the net the next moment.

There are more than four taels, which is considered a relatively large male squid, which is also a good harvest.

"Xiao Miao, you stay on the right, and I'll catch the one on the left." Zhang Liye said, "There are fish coming from my side."

Relieved, Zhang Liye stretched the net into the sea again, and the squid just swam over slowly, and was immediately picked up.There are three squids, and the total weight is only one catty, which is not enough.

Squid will vary depending on the size, origin, specification and market, but normally it is about [-] fresh sea-caught squid, which is considered a good normal price.

Zhang Miao continued to observe the sea surface, but when he found nothing, Zhang Liye caught two squid again with a smile on his face.It was still a female squid with a high price, which of course made him even happier.

"The squids are coming slowly." Zhang Liye, who has been gaining continuously, looked into the distance, full of expectation, "The situation here is better, and it seems that two more squids are coming."

Zhang Miao didn't want to talk, mainly because he hadn't found anything for the time being, and he still had to wait.

Zhang Liye breathed a sigh of relief as the squids arrived one after another. The situation was improving.Originally, one squid could be seen in about 10 minutes, but now it takes about 8 or 5 minutes to see one squid, and sometimes two or even three squid can be seen at a time.

This was a turn of events. Squids kept appearing, which made Zhang Liye, Zhang Miao and his son keep walking back and forth in the small sampan, searching and catching squids.

After catching two squids again, Zhang Miao couldn't help worrying, "Dad, is the battery still charged enough?"

Zhang Liye felt a little regretful, and he also felt regretful, "If I had known about buying a battery with a large capacity, the squid would have come here."

The lucky father and son were busy, and after just one and a half hours of busy work, they harvested more than [-] squid.This is definitely nothing compared to ocean-going squid fishing boats, but for offshore squid fishing, this harvest is not bad.

Zhang Liye estimated that it would take at most an hour for the battery to support it.

"Come over to my side." Zhang Liye said suddenly, "Go to the bow!"

Zhang Miao turned around quickly, these squids were not authentic, two came from the bow, and three came from the stern.Fortunately, the father and son did not miss these squids. Their destination is the fishing box and they live together with their compatriots.

These squid may have come 'from afar', long overdue and long overdue, but the long journey has finally come.Even if he catches the last train at some point, he will still be there anyway, and this is the most important thing.

In order to express his welcome to these squids from afar, Zhang Miao unceremoniously scooped up a bigger squid again.

"Dad, today we can catch more than [-] catties of squid." Looking at the squid swimming slowly, Zhang Miao was full of expectation, "If the battery is better, we will definitely gain more."

Zhang Liye didn't say anything, he just picked up a squid when it swam to the range of the copying net.

Thirty catties, this is a conservative estimate.The main reason is that there are more squid now. Although the capacity of the battery is starting to run low, Zhang Liye, Zhang Miao and his son are busy on the small fishing boat during the last half hour of squid fishing.

"Xiao Miao, put away the fishing needle." Zhang Liye, who was still full of thoughts, was very regretful, "It's almost time."

Although he felt that there were still squids approaching, Zhang Miao didn't say much.Hurry up and put away the fishing needle. There is only one squid on it, which makes people feel a little regretful, but at least there is still one, and the fishing needle is not in vain.

Although Zhang Liye felt very sorry, he didn't hesitate anymore. The battery couldn't continue to support it, and the power of the battery had reached its limit.In the current situation, unless the squid swims to the front, there is no need to catch it.

The father and son quickly put away the fishing nets, and an 'unexpected surprise' appeared.

Collect the net first, there is no need to untie the squid immediately, you can slowly untangle the fish and arrange the fishing net on the way back.

Zhang Liye launched the small fishing boat to return, and he couldn't help laughing, "We made a profit today, probably fifty catties."

"There were a lot of fish in the last half hour, and the harvest was good." Zhang Miao was also in a good mood, and said with a smile, "We caught about forty catties of fish, and I counted them on the net, sixteen, which is almost five catties .”

Zhang Liye is very satisfied with this harvest, "Well, there are more female squids, and I caught 900 yuan of squids today."

Just go back and eat the small miscellaneous fish. These squids must be sold in the market.

Zhang Miao also felt regretful that the real fishing was actually two and a half hours, and the number of squid in the first hour was relatively small.When the real squid approaches, the battery power is not enough, which is a 'heavy loss'.

Zhang Miao untied the squid and tidied up the fishing net, "Dad, shall we come out to fish again tonight?"

Zhang Liye nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, if the weather is right, we can make some more money. I'll borrow a battery."

Strike while the iron is hot. Since today's harvest is very good, we need to continue to work hard to continue this good momentum.

It doesn't matter at all that it takes one and a half hours to go back and forth and two and a half hours to catch the fish.Being able to make money is the most important thing. He earned close to 1000 yuan in four hours. This harvest is very good for Zhang Liye.

Get another sum, and strive for a better harvest!
