little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 5
"Liye, take your young master out to sea?"

"College students, don't be fooled, it's dirty and tiring to go fishing, rest at home!"

Zhang Miao, carrying a bucket and wearing waders, followed his father to the small pier.And along the way, I also met some villagers, and basically they would simply say hello and make jokes.

Zhang Miao's small fishing boat is a small wooden boat about five meters long. Fortunately, it has a diesel engine, pay-off machine, and winder, which can save a little manpower.Such small fishing boats can also be said to be 'mainstream', for fishermen who mainly fish offshore.

Zhang Liye started the fishing boat and controlled the speed and course of the boat from the stern.Sitting at the bow of the boat, Zhang Miao looked at the sea and was studying the sea.

The speed of the boat was fairly fast, and Zhang Miao could only 'see clearly' about three meters underwater.Basically, it's all "blank", but occasionally there are some clear or blurred shadows that appear in Zhang Miao's field of vision.

"What I see are basically living things in the sea, all living marine life. Then, pearls and so on can't be seen, and dead clam shells can't be seen."

Zhang Miao thinks there are pros and cons, some pearls in the ocean are valuable.It's just that now it seems that he may not be able to see these treasures.But it's good to be able to see the living things, which can be regarded as a guarantee.

It is better not to be too greedy, but to have some sense of satisfaction, contentment and happiness.

It's almost half an hour's flight, which is neither too close nor too far away, for no other reason.The main reason is that he has been fishing at sea. Zhang Liye also has some experience. He knows that there are no fish in some places, and he knows that there may be fish schools in some places.

Furthermore, naturally, the fishery resources have been decreasing in recent years, and sometimes they have to stay farther from the coastline, so that the probability of harvesting can be slightly increased, and maybe more fish can be caught.

When they reached the buoy, Zhang Liye said, "Come here and help fetch the fish."

Zhang Miao nodded, and the things he could help were limited.That is to catch the fish from the fishing net, which is what Zhang Miao can do well.

This is still a little technically difficult. If you don’t have skills and patience, you may damage the fishing net. That is not a good thing. It will only increase the loss, or you need to increase the work of repairing the fishing net after landing. This is not possible. Simple and rude.

Zhang Liye used a hook to drag the buoy to the side of the boat, and then naturally hung the network cable on the reel.An electric cord winder can also make it a little easier for him.

"There are fish!"

Zhang Liye finally breathed a sigh of relief, and collected the net for nearly a minute before he saw the first fish.Although this is not a big gain, it is still a 'good start', and we can expect some more gains in the future.

Squid, the first fish is squid, which is not a valuable thing.Zhang Miao quickly removed the squid and threw it into the fish box.

"Here we come, prawns!" Zhang Liye was happy, and said loudly, "There are at least two taels of these prawns, and a few more!"

Zhang Liye also laughed and was very happy, "A few years ago, Qingdao prawns were sold at sky-high prices. I think the boss had a black heart and didn't clearly mark the price."

Prawns are really not cheap. It is normal for prawns of more than two taels to weigh 81 catties. It is not surprising to sell more than one hundred prawns around the Spring Festival.Therefore, it is quite normal for a prawn to cost tens of yuan.

It's just that some unscrupulous bosses didn't clearly mark the price, one piece and one plate, you have to make it clear, you can't slaughter customers.

Zhang Miao took off the prawn with a smile, which is actually the scientific name of 'prawn'.Normally, it grows to a size of [-] centimeters and weighs about one or two taels. The larger the size, the rarer it is.

Shi Jiugong came, not as big as a slap.But this is also normal. This kind of fish has a big mouth, small body, ugly appearance, delicious food, rich nutrition, and the price is not cheap.Including the dorsal fin is relatively hard, poisonous.

"We stabbed Shi Jiugong's nest!" Zhang Liye frowned, feeling a little helpless, "Put these fish away and go back to make soup."

Zhang Miao swallowed, this can be had, "Well, the stew is really good!"

Fishermen don't necessarily eat too much seafood. Even if they eat seafood frequently, it is often common seafood with low market value.Such as prawns, which are usually not willing to eat, have to be sold.

The harvest of the first network is not very good. Counting the prawns, the income of this network is less than 50 yuan, which is definitely a loss.

Zhang Liye didn't say much either, he was used to this kind of catch and often got nothing.It's really not an easy thing to come back with a full load.

Continue to set off, simply pack the fishing nets, and continue to set off.

"TMD!"

When they reached the second buoy, Zhang Liye couldn't help cursing.

This is also something that fishermen often encounter. Sometimes they may be taken away by other fishing boats or working boats.And sometimes you may meet some people with low quality, those who don't see other people's good people may steal other people's fish, or even directly cut off the fishing nets and so on.

Zhang Miao didn't know what to say, he had seen and heard of such things.Wherever there are high-quality people, there are also people without moral character. This is probably society and life.

This time going to sea must be a loss, and the gas money of tens of dollars for a trip to sea must be a loss.As for the loss of wooden boats and engines, or manpower and time, there is no need to mention it, and it is usually not obvious.

"When we were young, there were a lot of fish. Fishing has become more and more difficult these years. In the past few years, there were no household nets and serious pollution. The fish became fewer and smaller." Zhang Liye adjusted his mood, Launching the fishing boat to go home, he also said to Zhang Miao, "It's really getting more and more difficult to fish now."

Zhang Miao smiled and asked, "Have you gotten better in the past two years?"

Zhang Liye said angrily, "I haven't seen any better. The management is indeed stricter than before, and some people secretly use Juhu.com in private. Now fishing equipment is getting more and more advanced, and more and more fish are being caught. , it is difficult for us to make a living in the coastal waters.”

Chatting all the way, the father and son also docked.There was no harvest at all, and naturally he simply packed up his tools and went home with the extremely poor catch.

Zhao Ling didn't say anything when she saw that she hadn't gained anything. She was used to such things, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.

"Shi Jiugong stewed the soup, and the prawns were steamed." Zhang Liye threw the fishing net into the yard and said, "I'm too lazy to take it out and sell it. Such a little thing is not worth the oil money."

Zhao Ling didn't say anything. It's really not worth taking such a little thing to the dock or sending it to the aquatic product dealer, so just stay at home.

Zhang Miao, who returned to her room, thought about it, and said, "Dad, give me the car keys, and I'll go to town."

"Car keys?" Zhao Ling said a little funny, "Those who don't know think our house has four wheels!"

Zhang Liye didn't raise his head, with some expectations, "The road in front of us is good, and my son is grown up now. Maybe he will drive a four-wheeled car back in two years. It happens that our yard is also big. down."

"That's right, the target BBA, or else it's Ferrari or Lamborghini." Zhang Miao joked, in a good mood, "But I heard that sports cars have a low chassis and are relatively hard, and if you drive them longer, your waist will be tiring. I'm not going to buy them!"

Zhao Ling scolded angrily, "Wait until you can afford a four-wheeled car! By the way, why are you going to town?"

"Look for books and see if there are any interesting books." Zhang Miao showed a shy smile, then rubbed her hands together, "Mother, my son is short on money, can the mother give me some rewards?"

Zhao Ling rolled her eyes at her son, who had been a bit out of tune in the past two years, "It's in the drawer, go get it yourself, remember to come back early."

Zhang Liye couldn't help laughing, and some of the haze in his heart dissipated a little, "Then I am the emperor? I still have the mountains and rivers left for you?"

"That's it!" Zhang Miao, who was running towards the house, pointed to the sea in front of the house, "This is the country that the father and mother laid down for the children!"

After taking the money, Zhang Miao got on the motorcycle and set off, planning to find two books introducing seafood to study.

There is no end to learning, and if you want to 'inherit the great rivers and mountains', you must learn endlessly and need continuous efforts.

It seems that there are very few books introducing aquatic products. Zhang Miao is a little disappointed. Maybe he needs to go to a bookstore in the city to find them.

After all, some professional books are indeed not very pleasing, not to mention that many people are now accustomed to the electronic reading mode, and traditional paper reading is not as pleasing as before.

Since there was nothing to gain, Zhang Miao stopped hesitating and drove the motorcycle home.

Zhang Miao felt good after eating the steamed prawns.

While satisfying his appetite, Zhang Miao felt a sudden warmth in his eyes, which was very comfortable.

"Huh? Could it be that if I eat more seafood, it can improve my eyesight?"

Hurry up, Zhang Miao feels that she has got the hang of it.After finishing the fish soup, he scooped up a piece of Shi Jiugong, but he didn't feel much after eating it.

"Is it because of the cooking method? Steaming, keeping its original flavor as much as possible is effective?"

Just when Zhang Miao was still in doubt, he picked up another Shi Jiugong.

The warm feeling reappeared. Compared with eating prawns just now, the warm and comfortable feeling was a little bit worse, but it did.

"It's not the cooking method, it's the quality of the fish itself. High-quality fish is helpful, but ordinary-quality fish is the food?"

Zhang Miao couldn't help but began to think. He felt as if he had found some tricks and found some small ways to improve his abilities.

Still have to keep trying and groping, Zhang Miao feels that there are some things that need to be taken care of.
