I rely on fishing to achieve freedom in life

Chapter 29 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
"Turn around, make a circle, and walk slowly toward the town pier."

Bailang made a decision immediately.

It is certainly a good thing to be able to find large schools of fish, but you must not gamble with your own life. No one can predict the dangers at sea.

Not to mention from ancient times to the present, even in the past ten years, no one knows how many people have died at sea due to accidents.

Both Bailang and Dazhu were also victims, so he absolutely could not risk their lives now.

After the fishing boat sailed back for 10 minutes, the wind and waves gradually calmed down.

Bailang's heart, which had been hanging on, was relieved at this time. The situation on the sea surface changed rapidly, which meant that it was not a storm.

"Dazhu, just bring the boat closer to where it was and just follow the wind and waves!"

Growing up in a fishing village, he knew very well that where there are wind and waves, there are often schools of fish.

The reason is simple. When the wind and waves are strong, things on the seabed will be pulled up.

In other words, such a place is very rich in food and often attracts a large number of fish.

This is also the reason why fishermen rush to go to sea after a typhoon, because the tide changes at that time, and the food on the seabed is swept up, attracting a large number of fish, shrimps and crabs.

Dazhu followed Bai Lang's instructions and drove the boat back to the place where the wind and waves were stronger.

Then he slowly adjusted the hull so that the fishing boat was parallel to the waves and sailed closely against the wind and waves.

At this time, Bai Lang was also a little lucky that he could find someone like Dazhu to help him with his work.

If he was alone in this situation, it would be impossible to control the fishing boat and cast the net at the same time.

It's different now. Dazhu is sailing the boat. He can completely focus on searching for seafood. If he finds anything, he can launch the net immediately, which is more convenient.

"Why haven't you found any fish yet?"

After driving against the wind and waves for half an hour, Bailang still found no big schools of fish, only small miscellaneous fish.

This situation is a bit irrational.

"Is there any big fish or other predatory fish nearby?"

Bailang frowned. There should be many fish chasing and gathering in the wind and waves in front of him, but now he has been searching for half an hour and still hasn't found anything.

Although there are occasionally one or two small schools of fish, those are not his goals tonight.

"800 meters due east, there are 335 pipefish, with an average weight of fifteen pounds."

Bailang was speechless when he saw a message that suddenly refreshed.

Just now he was still wondering why there was no decent-sized fish school in such a big storm, but it turned out that there was a large group of pipefish nearby.

This kind of fish swims very fast. The most important thing is that their mouths are very long and hard, and their teeth are very sharp. They are very fierce predators.

Generally speaking, where this kind of fish appears, there are not many other fish around it.

Needless to say, there are more than 300 pipefish in this group. Wherever they go, they are definitely like bandits entering a village. The other fish schools must have been frightened and fled in all directions.

Bailang shook his head. His luck seemed a bit bad today. He really had no choice when encountering such a group of bandits.

"Dazhu, are you hungry?"

"Haha, Brother Prodigal, I am indeed a little hungry, but I can hold on. It doesn't matter if I eat until tomorrow morning."

Dazhu touched his belly and smiled honestly.

"There's no need to wait for tomorrow morning. Since there are no fish schools now, let's eat something first!"

Bailang saw his look and knew that he must be hungry too.

The two of them had been out to sea for four or five hours. Dazhu had eaten something before going out to sea, but Bailang had been running around and only ate a piece of bread. Now he was already so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore.

There are no schools of fish found now, so I can just take a break and eat something. If I encounter a school of fish later, I won't care about it.

There is also bread and the like on the ship, but now Bailang wants to eat something good.

He glanced at the information on the interface, and then picked up the fishing net on the boat. This was a large fishing net. It was only useful when encountering big fish, and now was the time.He half-crouched on the edge of the boat and stretched the net directly into the sea.

At this time, the fishing boat was still moving forward, and not far away, a group of pipefish rushed towards them.

In less than a minute, the net in Bailang's hand began to vibrate.

Needless to say, some unlucky pipefish must have thrown themselves into the trap!
Bailang lifted the net and took a look. There were two big pipefish struggling desperately inside.

"These pipefish are so big, no wonder the fish are scared away by them!"

The body and beak of the pipefish in the net are over one meter long, and are as thick as a person's arm.

In many places, this fish is called a "motorcycle" at sea. They are very scary predators in the near sea. Most fish will stay away from them when they see them.

Bailang was not polite at all. He shook the net in his hand twice on the deck, as if he was venting his anger.

This group of pipefish caused him to search in vain for several hours at sea. The only way to relieve his hatred was to cook them and eat them.

After knocking the pipefish unconscious, he found a kitchen knife and cleaned the two fish, then threw them into the simple gas stove on the boat for cooking.

Add a variety of oil, salt, onion, ginger and cooking wine, and a simple and delicious fish soup is ready.

Bailang ate most of the pipefish, drank another bowl of fish soup, and then replaced the big pillar that drove the boat.

In less than 10 minutes, a large pot of fish soup was completely eaten by them.

After eating, drinking, and resting, Bailang did not forget to look for nearby fish schools.

"300 meters due west, there are 175 orchid crabs, with an average weight of six taels each."

"500 meters to the southwest, there are 124 skinned fish, with an average weight of two pounds and one tael."

"."

Bailang looked at the information that kept refreshing, and his mood began to improve.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m full or something, or maybe the group of pipefish has moved away, but now it’s obvious that the number of fish nearby is slowly increasing, which is definitely good news.

"Brother Prodigal Son, the wind and waves are getting bigger now!"

Dazhu roared while driving the fishing boat.

Bailang carefully observed his surroundings and found that the wind and waves were indeed bigger than before, exceeding half a meter. The fishing boat also began to bump, making it feel like a leaf floating back and forth in the sea.

"Wait a moment, a big school of fish will appear soon!"

After finally taking a trip tonight, Bailang was not willing to go back empty-handed.

Although the wind and waves are slowly getting bigger now, he can clearly see that the fish schools are also slowly increasing. He believes that there will be a big fish school soon.

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!

Although there was danger, he still wanted to give it a try.

Dazhu said nothing more and started driving the fishing boat more seriously.

Bailang concentrated and stared at the interface carefully. The amount of information was very large at this time, and all kinds of information were refreshed rapidly.

"980 meters directly ahead, there are 275 large yellow croakers, with an average weight of two kilograms and four taels."

Bailang was stunned for a moment when he saw this message that was suddenly refreshed.

When he saw that there were more than 200 fish, he was about to jump over them, but he suddenly realized that these were large yellow croakers.

The legendary mobile gold bar!

“Hahaha, finally we’ve got a school of fish worth netting!”

Bailang is very aware of the value of large yellow croakers, not to mention the size of this group of large yellow croakers. This school of fish is definitely worth the risk of netting.
