Catch The Sea: Start With A Sand Shovel And Take Over The Entire Beach

After the ground cages here were collected, it was Zhao Ping who sailed the boat this time.

Without a positioning system, sailing a boat on the sea really depends on experience. Although there is a compass, it can only determine the direction, but cannot accurately locate it.

After driving for about half an hour, we arrived at the second floor cage. There were four rows of them. There were no valuable goods in these four rows.

However, there are a lot of shrimps and shrimp mushrooms that were not seen in the cage before, and there are also more stone crabs.

"This is the normal harvest of the ground cage." Zhao Ping said, fearing that Zhao Qin might be disappointed.

Zhao Qin lost interest after pulling two rows, so he was replaced by his elder brother.

After all four rows were pulled up, I saw that the harvest was actually pretty good. The most valuable ones were probably the nine-section shrimps, which weighed seven to eight kilograms here and were worth several hundred.

Jiujie shrimp, you can try it

There are also more than 20 blue crabs, weighing more than ten kilograms, which are worth several hundred yuan. Calculating this, the income must be over a thousand yuan.

After collecting the ground cage, Zhao Ping turned off the machine and parked the boat next to the island to take a rest.

Zhao Qin started cooking. Today, my sister-in-law prepared some kelp. The pork ribs soup was cooked last night. Now heat it up and throw in the kelp and cook it.

Two dishes were also cooked in advance, one was braised pork and the other was scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He poured the two dishes directly into the rice and heated them together.

While waiting for the meal, one person filled a bowl of soup and drank it. After finishing the bowl of soup, just as the rice was simmering, the three of them started eating.

His previous taste was on the salty and spicy side, and it can be said that he didn't like it even if it was spicy, but the people here eat more lightly, and he was not used to it when he first came here. He even felt that these dishes didn't even have a piece of fermented bean curd to go with the rice.

But after living here for a while, he gradually began to adapt.

Just like now, the rice is mixed with tomato and braised pork soup, and it tastes really good.

"Brother, let's carry the water pump together tomorrow. We can pump the puddle without putting down the floor cage." Zhao Qin finished eating and didn't drink any more soup, because Ah He was already cutting the watermelon.

The watermelon is wrapped in a convenience bag and kept in the refrigerator. Now is the best time to eat it. As for whether it will hurt your stomach, forget it. Let’s enjoy it first.

"I heard the weather forecast last night, and I may not be able to go to sea tomorrow." Zhao Ping sighed.

For a fisherman, he naturally wishes for calm weather for 365 days a year, but there are really many winds on the sea. Being able to go to sea in the middle and half of January is considered good weather.

"I may have to be busy for two days at the end of the month. I need to take the boat license test first and see if I can apply for the car license by the way."

"Okay, if the weather conditions permit then, Ahe and I will go out. After you finish the exam, we will see if we can find that person again so that Ahe can also take the boat license exam."

After eating the watermelon, everyone’s chat ended and it was time to get back to work.

"Brother, let's collect the longline first. We'll just collect the last cage on the way back. We'll try to get back at four o'clock."

"Okay, running back and forth like this does waste a lot of fuel."

When we got to the place where we reeled in the longline, it was Zhao Qin who reeled it in first. It was only on the third hook that he caught a spring fish, which was similar to the one yesterday, weighing more than two kilograms.

Because they wanted to go back early, everyone stopped bragging and focused on their homework.

After collecting two baskets of hooks, the harvest this time is relatively average. The valuable good product is a small blue spot, which weighs about three or four pounds. It feels like stabbing the nest of a male fish.

They pulled them up one by one. The big one weighed seven or eight pounds, and the small one weighed three or four pounds. Zhao Qin pulled nearly 20 of them.

There are not many other miscellaneous fish, and there is not even a single bass.

"Brother, how much does Mr. Bao cost per pound?"

"About 15 yuan. Ah Qin, don't think it's too little. If we can gain this amount every day, we can burn high-quality incense."

"Brother, it's quite a lot. Bao Gong alone can sell it for more than 1,000 yuan. Adding in miscellaneous things, the income from longline fishing today is not less than 1,500 yuan. Our cost of bait and fuel is less than 200 yuan." Ah He broke it off. Counting with fingers.

Zhao Qin nodded slightly. He didn't think it was too little. Such a harvest was pretty good even if the ground cage was not used.

After excluding the costs, the eldest brother and Ah He can share more than 200 yuan each, which is more than 7,000 yuan a month. Based on the current income, it is comparable to white-collar workers in big cities.

Of course, the working environment cannot be compared. People sit in the office and drink coffee, but there are still some dangers in floating on the sea.

The boat headed home and came to the mangrove to collect the five rows of cages. As usual, Zhao Qin started to pull them first.

Because of the water area, several people thought that crabs must be the main fish here. As a result, they collected several cages in succession, all of which contained eels, ranging in size from one pound to three or four pounds.

There were also smaller ones, so they had to release them, but they had thorns and nothing to eat, and they couldn't sell them at a high price.

"Ahe, be careful, there is a tiger fish inside." Zhao Qin saw the tiger fish in the first cage in the second row and reminded Ahe with a smile.

It’s true that this thing looks ugly and is highly poisonous, but the price is high!

"Ah~~"

Zhao Qin was collecting the cage when he heard Ahe's screams behind him. He felt a thump in his heart and thought it was broken. He reminded the boy to be careful, but he was still stabbed.

I was about to ask my eldest brother to return to the hospital quickly, but I saw a blue crab hanging on this kid's finger, and he was still shaking like a dance.

"If you bite the pliers with your mouth, you won't be able to shake them off." He hurriedly warned.

"Brother, without the pliers, the price won't be high."

Hearing this, Zhao Qin was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, "Which is more valuable, your finger or his finger? Hurry up."

Ah He had no choice but to bite. This kid was really stupid. When he stretched out his mouth to bite, his other hand accidentally pinched the crab's other pincers. As a result, as soon as he put his mouth to it, his cheek was pinched by another crab's claw. The pliers clamped.

Zhao Qin secretly cursed an idiot and hurriedly dropped the cage. He stepped forward and quickly grabbed the two pliers and twisted them one by one. He threw the crab aside first.

Although the crab claws were separated from the crab, they still clamped Ahe firmly. Zhao Qin had no choice but to bite down hard on the large claws with his teeth, and then took off the crab claws twice.

I didn't look at Ah He's hands, but mainly looked at his cheeks. Fortunately, the crab might not have been clamped tightly, so it wasn't broken. There was just a dark crab mark on his face, which probably wouldn't go away in a few days.

"I'm already ugly, but I don't know how to pay attention to it. What should I do if my cheek is pinched through?"

Ahe:……

The harvest from this row of ground cages was very good, including two more tiger fish, a few white eels, and more crabs. Zhao Qin didn't even count how many there were.

He asked Ah He to collect the remaining three rows and sort them himself.

It was almost three o'clock when everything was collected, and several baskets were filled to the brim. The boat sailed towards the town pier. Zhao Qin and Ahe sorted out all the cages again.

When passing a small island, Zhao Qin said to Zhao Ping: "Brother, anchor here, let's wait a moment."

"What?"

"Wait a minute, a ship should be coming soon."

Zhao Qin did not explain. When the boat stopped, the three of them waited for about twenty minutes. Then they saw a boat approaching from the direction of the pier. When they saw them from a distance, they slowed down the speed of the boat.
