In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 38

Li Duoyu had just rushed off the deck.

Lao Zhuang, the head of the boat, called them over for dinner.

This Lao Zhuang is what his mother said, the one who broke his leg and ruined the oyster field.

Due to a leg injury, he couldn't step on a mud horse, let alone lift heavy objects. In order to support his family, he had to help others sell seafood at the pier.

It just so happened that Lao Zhuang and Uncle San used to be in the same fishery team, and this time there was a shortage of people to go to sea, so he was invited to be the head of the boat.

Uncle San’s fishing boat is a motor sailing boat from the 70s, and it is not equipped with a dedicated kitchen.

If you want to cook.

When the weather is fine, we set up the pot directly on the deck to cook.

When the weather is bad, it is moved to the cabin to burn.

The food is also rough and simple.

The staple food is mostly white rice and alkaline noodles, and most of the side dishes are from the caught seafood, find some "similar" seafood to cook, and then stir-fry two cabbage.

It may be due to the old fishermen who eat a lot of seafood.

Everyone is not interested in the seafood feast that will make most netizens drool. Instead, they like to mix some soy sauce with the rice and serve it with some pickles.

But for a reborn person like Li Duoyu, that pot of boiled seafood is really delicious.

The cuttlefish meat is Q and bouncy.

Shrimp is also very sweet.

And the portunus crab is fat and juicy, a bite of the crab claws directly explodes the juice, and the sweet juice slides in the mouth.

without any exaggeration.

Seafood is much tastier now than it will be 40 years later. He has heard people say that if a species is eaten frequently, the meat quality will continue to evolve in the direction of unpalatable. I don’t know if this is possible.

And the second uncle who never leaves Hanyan, seeing Li Duoyu eating seafood there, couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"I used to be the same as you when I first got on the boat. I felt that the food in the sea was delicious. Until I drifted in the sea with the fishing team for half a year, seeing these crabs and eels would turn off my appetite."

"Then I'll have a good time first." Li Duoyu smiled.

He also had abalones until he vomited. In his previous life, he also raised abalones, but they all died in a typhoon. He cleaned up the dead abalones for two days.

It happened that the market was not good and he couldn't sell it. In order not to waste it, he seemed to have been eating abalone during that time.

Now it is also about Bao's discoloration.

After the third uncle failed in the first net, he was not in a good mood, and he didn't even eat a few mouthfuls of food.

He found the place, and he asked for the net to be released. If the fishing boat can't catch swimming crabs, it's his problem.

Most fishermen are more "superstitious".

Often, if the first net fish harvest is not good, it will be regarded as a "bad lottery", which means that the luck for the whole year will not be very good.

Uncle San sighed and said:

"I used to be able to catch it here, but this year it's gone."

The second uncle took a puff of dry tobacco and joked:

"I've been caught by you for so many years, and the swimming crab is not your wife, so it's impossible to wait here every year."

"Hahaha"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, and although the third uncle who was ridiculed looked helpless, he was obviously in a much better mood.

After everyone has finished their dinner.

The setting sun had completely sunk into the sea, and there was only a faint blue light at the junction of the sea and the sky, and the entire sea surface had darkened.

The fishing boat continued to sail southeast.

Move on to the next fishing spot.

After eating, the crew also returned to the cabin to rest.

Because everyone knows very well that an empty ship has no face to return to Hong Kong, and it is doomed to drift on the sea tonight.

After the sea is completely darkened.

The sea will become very scary, and it will be dark all around, just like being locked in a dark room.

Under normal circumstances, when the fishing boat is sailing at night, the crew will not go on the deck, and most of them stay in the cabin to engage in men's entertainment.

Some get together to play cards.

There is also smoking and drinking.

When this kind of fishing boat is driving at night, it will be very noisy, and the cabin of Sanshu's boat is very close to the position of the turbine.

Very noisy.

The sound of "Kang Bang Bang" is all over the ears. Unless you are too tired to fall asleep, a group of poker players, alcoholics and radio lovers will not fall asleep so easily.

Of course, except for the old fisherman like uncle, he almost sleeps on the bed, and the sound of snoring is louder than others playing cards.

But as the fishing boat became more and more turbulent, everyone was a little nervous. The bigger the waves, the farther they were from the land.

It was bumpy for more than an hour.

The fishing boat stopped moving forward, and the third uncle drove the fishing boat to a new fishing point. The waves at the new fishing point were very strong, and the boat was shaken to and fro.

But everyone still went out to work.

For the veteran fishermen who are in the sea, this kind of storm is just a common occurrence, but past experience tells them that the stronger the storm, the better the product will be.

After going down to sea with the trawling net.

The fishing boat also moved slowly.

A "big mouth" is constantly harvesting on the bottom of the sea, while the fishermen on the boat are waiting quietly, praying for a good product.

Almost two hours later.

The trawl was slowly brought back.

Li Duoyu, a group of novices, hurried forward to shake off the seaweed and attachments on the net.

After going to sea with the net bag.

Everyone's eyes were bright, but because it was night, only the uncle standing at the stern could see clearly.

"It hit the nest."

"It's a big bag, pull it up quickly."

After hearing this, the crew members, who hadn't slept all night, regained their energy in an instant, and hoisted up with the net bag.

Li Duoyu also felt a little shocked, the net bag was very big, it weighed a ton by visual estimation, and the net was very beautiful and clean, most of them were swimming crabs.

After seeing the net bag being hoisted.

The third uncle Li Zhengfa from the captain's room hurried down to look, with a smile all over his face, and he untied the rope of the net bag himself.

With a "crash".

Thousands of swimming crabs are running around on the deck, and it feels like you can step on several of them with just one foot.

After seeing this scene, everyone laughed happily. Seeing the swimming crabs running around, they hurriedly used wooden boards to gather these running swimming crabs together.

That's what fishing is all about.

There are losses and wins, but today everyone was lucky, and they stabbed into the lair of swimming crabs.

Less miscellaneous fish means less work.

Li Duoyu was sitting on a small bench. He only needed to put the swimming crabs in the basket. In this day and age, people don't tie crab ropes very much.

Because if you are not careful, you will catch too many, and you can't tie them up even if you want to. Li Duoyu remembers that 40 years later, people rarely use trawl nets to catch swimming crabs. Most of them are disposable gillnets, which can reach tens of thousands of meters.

Once there is a good harvest of swimming crabs, the whole net will be pulled to the shore, and the women on the shore who specialize in this industry will untie and tie crabs.

If you encounter a good crab.

It is not a problem for this kind of person who specializes in untying crabs and tying crabs to make a thousand a day.

After swimming crabs leave the water.

It can survive for about seven or eight hours.

It took Li Duoyu and the others more than an hour to sort out the swimming crabs.

There are twenty baskets fully loaded.

Each basket is about a hundred catties, filling the entire deck of the ship.

The third uncle looked at the time on his watch. It was already past two o'clock in the morning. It would take at least two and a half hours to sail from here to the nearest Sharp Pier.

He didn't intend to continue to cast the net, but drove the boat to the nearest Sharp Pier.

If you want to get a good price, you have to go early, otherwise you might have to wait in line for unloading if you go late.

If there are too many fishing boats queuing up and the swimming crabs die on board, the price will not be sold at all, and the fuel fee may have to be lost.
