little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 6 The Rhythm of Getting Rich
Zhao Ling looked at the time and shouted in the yard, "Son, I'm going to catch the sea, will you go?"

Zhang Miao, who was nestled in the room, ran out quickly, "Go, why don't you go!"

"You have been lucky these two days, and your income from catching the sea is higher than mine." Zhao Ling said while wearing her water pants, "Otherwise, I will go to the pool with you today and catch fish together."

Zhang Miao was very happy and somewhat proud, "Okay, I'll bring a net later, I didn't prepare well before, and it was too tiring to catch fish with bare hands."

Zhang Liye continued to mend the net, and said, "You two are going to catch the sea, and I will go to the net later. I thought about it carefully. The catch these two days is not good, mainly because my son gave me good luck. Robbed!"

"Feudal superstition!" Zhang Miao hopped twice, then fastened her shoulder straps, "Old man, feudal superstition is nothing!"

Zhang Liye scolded with a smile, he was actually quite proud and happy.The family is not rich, but the family is very warm and happy.To say that this is a bit of an "unreliable son", Zhang Liye is actually quite proud.

Since I was a child, I have been more obedient and worry-free. Even if I am in my early twenties, I will bicker and make jokes when there is nothing to do, but I still have a sense of proportion.Many people in the village also said that Zhang Miao had a good personality. Even if he was criticized or taught a lesson by his parents, he either kept his head down or listened with a smile.

Rebellion or something has nothing to do with Zhang Miao.

"Xiaoling, take your precious son to the sea?"

"Come over to our place and chat."

Seeing Zhao Ling taking her son to catch the sea, the aunts and aunts in the village also greeted her.Of course, it was normal to greet Zhang Miao's mother and gossip while rushing to the sea.

Zhao Ling smiled and waved her hands, her voice was higher, "I won't talk nonsense with you today, I will go catch big fish with my son."

Zhang Miao's second aunt got up and said 'angryly', "I don't believe he can still catch fish today. After these two days, he has been catching fish all the time. How could he catch the sea like this!"

"My son is lucky, my son has a lot of blessings!" Zhao Ling was not polite, showing off a little, "You catch mud snails and clams when you catch the sea, and my son can always catch fish!"

Zhang Miao walked ahead with a smile on his shoulders, carrying a fishing net and a bucket of fish. The two days of fishing made him a star figure in this village of fifty households. Every time he went fishing, he could catch some fish, shrimps and crabs. , The harvest of catching the sea is more than that of the old catching the sea.

"Mom, go and have a look over there, there seems to be something in the water."

Arriving at a reef area, stepping on the sea water up to the calf, Zhang Miao pointed to the front.

Looking at the turbid sea water, Zhao Ling asked puzzledly, "Where?"

"It's in front!" Zhang Miao pointed two meters away, and said, "Touch and see, there should be something."

Zhang Miao was sure there was some seafood there, and if nothing else, it was an octopus.Zhang Miao was full of confidence in his ability. He saw the octopus trying to get into a conch shell, but it couldn't escape.

After saying this, Zhang Miao stepped on the sea water and started to 'scan' slowly.

Zhao Ling fumbled around in the sea, picked up the conch, "Oh, there really are octopuses! Son, how did you see that!"

"I see, my eyesight is good!" Zhang Miao laughed and said, "Mom, just look at that area more, I think there are more conch and the like. If you touch the conch, I will catch the fish!"

You don't need to lift your legs when you carry the fishing net in your hand.Deliberately dragging its legs in the sea to make a big noise, a stone bream that had been quietly attached to the bottom of the water was immediately startled and began to swim vigorously.

But at the moment it was swimming, the fishing net in Zhang Miao's hand immediately dropped to catch this palm-sized stone bream.

"Mom, you've made a fortune! Stone bream!" Picking up the fishing net, Zhang Miao smiled very proudly, "This fish must cost one or two hundred and one catties!"

It was a stone bream with black and white stripes like a zebra.

Zhao Ling stood up, very happy, "It's not too small, this fish weighs about half a catty!"

"Come again, there are more here!" Zhang Miao was even happier, and couldn't help but look forward to it, "I'm lucky today, I'm going to get rich today!"

Zhao Ling put the stone bream into the bucket and introduced, "This kind of fish is relatively rare in the wild, and the price is also high. Those who like sea fishing, many people like to catch this kind of fish."

While his mother was still introducing, Zhang Miao quickly stretched the fishing net into the pool.With one hand, he quickly picked it up.It was another stone bream, about three or two. Zhang Miao felt that he was really lucky today. This was the first time he encountered such a situation since he went to sea, and he was about to 'get rich'.

Zhao Ling was overjoyed, but she still whispered, "Son, have you seen any fish yet?"

"There are still a few more. I saw a group of stone bream just now, probably seven or eight." Zhang Miao answered in a low voice, half truthful.

Zhao Ling was a little nervous and urged, "Then catch the fish here quickly, and I will collect them at the mouth of the sea. Don't let them escape. You catch the fish quickly, or someone will come over later .”

Zhang Miao nodded again and again. It is true that the tide is ebbing now, and there is a high probability that these fish will be trapped here.It's just that if they are smart enough, they can also find a way back to the sea from the almost 'drained' waterway.

It is necessary to speed up, although if you wait any longer, the water in the pool will become less and less, and the difficulty of fishing will also be reduced.But no one can guarantee whether these fish will escape, and more importantly, other sea hunters may also come to share a piece of the pie.

Relying on his excellent eyesight, Zhang Miao waved the fishing net in his hand. It can't be regarded as a hundred shots, but the success rate is relatively high.The most important thing is good eyesight, Zhang Miao can find the traces of these fish.When you can use the net to fish, use the net to fish, and when you can't use the fishing net, just reach out and grab it.

Zhang Miao took six stone breams of sufficient size, and Zhang Miao ruthlessly fished three pomfrets into the fishing net.Although the price of pomfret is not high, and the scales of the fish are easy to fall off, which leads to poor growth, but the taste of steamed or fried is good.

This is the rhythm of returning home with a full reward. Zhang Miao has been sailing for nearly a week, and this is the best harvest.

Zhao Ling was very happy. Seeing the fish being scooped up, she was even happier. "Son, today is really lucky. We will earn hundreds of dollars this time!"

"It's just the beginning, and I can continue to make a lot of money!" Zhang Miao smiled happily, and couldn't help but look forward to it, "Mom, I've been in love with the sea, and I can tell where there are fish at a glance!"

Of course Zhao Ling felt that this was just her son bragging, it was just his son's embarrassment after he had a big harvest, there was no need to be serious.

After catching the fish, Zhang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, "There are no more fish here, let's go!"

Looking at the shallow muddy pool, Zhao Ling was still worried, "Why don't we take another look, maybe there are still fish!"

"It's gone, small fish and shrimps are of no value, I caught all I can!" Mother couldn't see the movement in the pool, but Zhang Miao knew, "Mom, while I'm lucky, let's continue Let's go, continue to look for fish!"

After all, Zhang Miao really knew that there were no fish here until the queen mother, who was still a little bit unwilling to give up, left with her.

Even though this place has just provided enough catches for itself, the fishery resources here have been 'exhausted' and have no use value.

Just keep going. Although there are no fish here, there may be some catches in other places waiting for their owners to favor them.Anyway, there is basically no way to go back to the sea, so let's satisfy the appetite of human beings.

Carrying the fish bucket, Zhang Miao and Zhao Ling continued to march towards some places that looked difficult.

The roads that are easy to catch fish and easy to walk are already "overcrowded". There are only a few places that are not easy to walk, and maybe there are still some fish that slipped through the net waiting to be found.

"Hey, could it be that my luck is changing, and I'm going to catch crabs today?" Looking at the reef not far away, Zhang Miao scratched her head, "What should I do, crabs are hard to catch!"

Zhao Ling looked at the reef in front of her. It was just a half-meter-high reef. Below the reef was a narrow puddle about two meters long. Are there crabs here?
"Mom, call my dad to catch crabs. He can catch crabs." Zhang Miao thought it would be safer to call for help. "There are quite a few big crabs here, and they should all be blue crabs. Probably four or five."

Seriously here, while taking off the gloves, he said, "You read that right? If it's really a big blue crab, I have to call your old man to catch it."

Zhang Miao said with certainty, "Well, it's the big blue crab. I saw the clips. One of them may weigh two or three catties!"

Zhao Ling didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately said when Zhang Liye answered the phone, "Come here quickly, go to the east of the village, come down from Xiaohuo's vegetable garden, my son found a crab nest."

Zhang Liye's decisive voice came from the phone, "Okay, I'll come right away!"

Different regions and different seasons have different prices for blue crabs.However, if these big blue crabs are caught, they can be sold for more than [-] catties, so there is no big problem.

Seeing her mother hang up the phone, Zhang Miao was really happy, "Mom, we might get a thousand dollars today!"

With a monthly income of tens of thousands, this may be a bit difficult.Of course, if it is based on today's harvest, it will definitely not be a problem to earn more than [-] a month!

Zhang Miao and Zhao Ling occupied the reef and studied it carefully.Zhang Liye, who was wearing wader pants and gloves, came and asked directly, "Is this the way?"

"We just splashed some water and saw some crabs' pinches." Zhao Ling said, pointing to the bottom of the reef, "Go and get the crabs out, there are quite a few!"

Zhang Liye nodded and said, "I brought a rubber band over here, you can tie the crab up later."

Big blue crabs are more aggressive, they must be tied up after being caught, and they cannot be allowed to fight.If the clamps and crab legs are broken, the price will drop.

Regardless of the fact that the current temperature is still not high, Zhang Liye lay directly on the bottom of the reef.He just saw a crab and he had to catch it. It cost more than 100 yuan, so he couldn't miss it!
