Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 237 Shrimp (monthly ticket plus one more)

  After the meal, Ye Yaodong pushed the trolley to get the sticky net, and also took back the row hooks that were repaired a few days ago.

   Then he went out to sea non-stop to collect the ground cage, taking advantage of the high tide now, the boat can go out, and he can get in before the low tide if he collects it quickly.

  By the way, check whether the waves are big in the evening and whether you can go out at night, and then consider collecting some fish as bait.

   There is no rush to move the rollers, and there is still time to ask his father to go to Uncle Lin's house together after the floor cage is brought back.

  After going through the order of things in his mind, he boarded the boat. After a few days of driving, he checked all the machines inside and outside the boat. After there was no problem, he filled up the oil and drove out directly.

  The sky is blue, the water is blue, the sea is rippling, and the fishing boats are sailing out, making ripples circle after circle. Today is a rare good weather with clear skies.

  Listening to the chats of everyone on the shore, the fishing boats have been harvesting well recently, mainly because of the price, but there are fewer types of fish that can be caught. Many people who used to trawl in the middle and upper layers now choose to add lead pendants to make bottom trawls.

  They don’t have a net hoist on board, so it takes a lot of energy, and now it depends on the situation.

   Steered the boat towards the area where he put the ground cage, and only stopped when he saw the familiar buoy.

  Amidst the rattling sound of the diesel engine, he pulled up the buoy and began to collect the net. Sure enough, there were still a lot of starfish in the Dilong net.

  Damn it, he couldn't get excited when he saw the starfish, he was not as happy as he was when he saw the starfish at the shore, and he was numb.

  Dump all the goods in this net onto the boat, most of them are starfish, and there are also a little bit of fish and shrimp. He is not in a hurry to sort them, and then continues to collect.

  Everything was poured onto the ship, and he planned to sort and load the goods slowly after landing.

   Who knew that after half of the cage was closed, several super big shrimp heads slipped out of the net in his hand, his eyes lit up instantly.

  This shrimp looks fat and fat, which is very interesting. In fact, it is a kind of Zen shrimp. It has thick and short claws, dark red color, flat forehead and pentagonal shape, and hard and thick carapace.

  The three that just fell out of the net are all super big, about the size of an adult's palm, and one is about five taels. The price of this big one is as high as that of lobsters. The price is not low now, but it's a pity that there are only three.

   After Ye Yaodong picked out the three shrimp heads in advance, he happily continued to make persistent efforts.

  Unexpectedly, he pulled up a net and sank immediately. He thought it was a big surprise, but when he dragged it out of the sea, he found it was a huge jellyfish.

  Grandma, he dragged the net up cursing, "Made, I wasted my net, when did there are so many jellyfish in the sea?"

  While scolding him, he went to untie the fish bag. No matter how much he hated jellyfish, he still had to pull up the net and throw it back into the water.

  While untying the rope, he saw starfish protruding from the fish collection bag. He didn't care, because there were indeed too many starfish along the coast recently.

  He shook the fishing net, wanting to see what else was pressed to the bottom by the jellyfish, but unexpectedly, he shook out some jellyfish.

   "Damn it, it turns out that there are good things being pressed down, good guy, these are all blocked by jellyfish, no wonder I didn't see it when I pulled it up..."

   He quickly untied the rope with his hands flexibly, and a small pile of starfish slipped out from it, mixed with some starfish.

In fact, the scientific name of these Haizhi is Liberation Eyebrow Crab, which is also a kind of crayfish, but the size of these Haizhi is very small, not comparable to the three shrimps he just caught, and they are also called locally. The distinction is very fine.

  The big one is called mantis shrimp head, and the small one is called Haizhi. This kind of sea cicada is a marine life between shrimp and crab. It can often be picked up on the beach when the tide is low. It tastes more delicious than crab.

   It can be said that it is a cicada monkey that grows in the sea, but it is more delicious than a cicada monkey.

   Despite its small size, it is more tender and delicious than shrimp, and there are a lot of yellow in it, which is fatter and more fragrant than crab roe. Because it looks like a cicada monkey, it is often misunderstood by people, and some people mistake it for a mole cricket shrimp.

Ye Yaodong took the lead in throwing the big white jellyfish that was in the way into the water, and then started to fiddle with the sea zhi. It is estimated that it weighs about four or five catties. Eat but really.

  I don’t know if there are any more in the back, so he moved these to the corner first, planning to sort them slowly after collecting all the ground cage nets.

  After putting down the ground cage just now, I started to receive the goods again.

   There are still so many ground cage nets, but affected by starfish, the fish stock has been reduced by more than half.

  A few days ago, there were a lot of starfish, and every net exploded. The people who put the ground cage were all laughing, but the number has decreased in the past two days, and they can’t laugh anymore.

  All the ground cage nets have been collected, and the goods are dumped on the boat. Although the piles are like hills, there is not much goods, most of them are starfish.

  The sorter first threw the starfish into sacks, but only received two sacks, worth about four yuan.

   Grass ~ I haven't come to collect it for four or five days, but there are only so few. It seems that the starfish is really almost gone.

   Those Haizhiliao and Xiagutou are quite impressive, and they are lucky. The ground cage also caught a blue grouper about two catties. It is estimated that they just ran in, and they can jump twice when they are dying.

  Ye Yaodong first picked up the big Xiagu head into the bucket, and there was also a small half bucket, which seemed to weigh about five or six catties.

  Then pick out the rest of the fish. Some of them are not fresh. They have been placed in the sea for too many days, and the fish that come out of the ground cage are usually dead.

  Because after the fish enter the ground cage, they will eventually gather in the fish collection bag, and then the space in the fish collection bag is small, which can easily cause local density to be too high, resulting in hypoxia and suffocation.

  The fish received the next day were still fresh even though they were dead. It has been four or five days, most of the fish gills are not bright red, the eyeballs have turned white or sunken, and the body of the fish has no elasticity when pressed.

Ye Yaodong had some pity to pick out these stale fish and throw them back into the sea. After tasting the sweetness, the seabirds kept flying around the fishing boat, waiting for him to throw the stale fish into the sea. He swooped down and picked it up.

   To distinguish whether the fish is new or not, it mainly depends on the body surface and gills of the fish.

  The first one is to look at the fish eyes. Fresh fish have sound and clear eye membranes; stale fish usually have bloodshot eye membranes, and the eyeballs begin to sag.

  The second thing to look at is the gills of the fish. The gills of fresh fish are bright red. If the gills are whitish and have a lot of mucus, it means that the fish has been dead for a long time.

   The third is to look at the fish body and press the fish with your fingers. If the fish is sunken and does not rebound for a long time, it is not fresh.

  The same goes for the shrimp, most of which are smelly, and the stale shrimp has a musty smell, like rotten meat.

Ye Yaodong was sorting while tossing, and saw that there was a three-to-four-jin perch and eight-to-nine-jin sea wolf fish that were not fresh anymore. He was so sad that he died. When he left, he forgot to tell his father to come out to collect them, and he didn't I know that once I return to my mother-in-law's house, I will live there for so many days.

   It is estimated that his father thought he had confessed to his elder brother and second brother, and his elder brother and second brother thought he had confessed to his father.

  Most of the fish and shrimp are cheaper than these seabirds, and only a small amount of fish and shrimp that have just been netted are still fresh.

  After picking out the remaining fresh goods and putting them in the bucket, the surrounding seabirds were still flying in mid-air, reluctant to leave.

   "Not full yet? If you don't leave, I'll arrest you all!"

  Because of his feeding, the nearby seabirds gathered around his fishing boat, and the number seemed to be quite considerable. No, it directly attracted the fishing boats not far away to come towards him.

  When he raised his head and looked at the surrounding sea, he realized that there were seven or eight small wooden boats around him, some were close, some were far away, but they were all approaching him.

  He was suddenly speechless...

   It's an oolong!

  General fishermen know that where seabirds gather, there are often schools of fish, but today there are no...

   He is feeding...

   There was a fishing boat that was rowing towards him first, and it turned around a circle, but saw nothing. I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and moved closer to him.

   "It's Adong? Was there a school of fish around just now? Has it dispersed? Did you catch it?"

  This is an old fisherman in their village, Ye Yaodong looked at him dumbfounded, "There are no fish schools, these birds flew over because I just threw a lot of stale fish."

   "Ah, is that so? How much did you throw? So many seabirds flew over..."

   "Throw away most of the harvest. I haven't been home for four or five days. I forgot to tell my father to come and collect it. Most of the fish and shrimp in the cage are smelly."

   "That's it, what a pity... the birds are fed for nothing..."

  He frowned, a little regretful, and saw that there were fishing boats approaching, he hurriedly shouted to others while paddling: "There are no fish here, so don't come here."

  But how can people listen to him, don’t take a look, how can they believe it, how can they give up their hearts, and still move in this direction.

  Ye Yaodong thought the same way, so he didn't waste his saliva just now, anyway, he came to see it and he knew it.

  All the small wooden boats around were sailing towards him, getting closer and closer, but he ignored them, gathered with them, drove the boat one step ahead, and went directly to the shore.

  He turned on all the horsepower and threw off all the fishing boats behind him. The fishing boats that were far away, seeing a boat as big as him leave this area, might regret it there, missed it... didn't have time to get close...

   Regardless of them anyway.

  After approaching the pier, he moved the limited harvest off the boat and weighed it.

  Hai Zhi knew it was worthless, so he kept all of them. He also kept 4 Xiagutou. The rest were starfish and blue grouper.

Blue grouper is not expensive among groupers. He has caught it before, and it costs about 2 yuan a catty. Xiagutou is 8 cents a catty. The combined goods in the afternoon only sold for more than fifteen yuan, which was too much to throw away.

   But it’s okay, it’s so-so, it’s the same as the general ground cage harvest.
