Golden Fishing Village

The fishing boat left the continental shelf and is now in deep water.

From the coast to the deep sea, the sea breeze quickly increased. Even if the sun was shining brightly today, the waves were still surging and rolling. The raft was just a small boat in the angry sea. The violent fluctuations really made people feel cold.

As the old saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without going into the tiger's den. For fishermen, the worst times are coming. They go deep into the ocean, but the catch is still not good.

Ao Muyang dived into the water and looked around. There were fish in the sea, including mullet, golden pomfret, silver pomfret, white-haired fish and black-haired fish. Crabs and conger eels can also be seen in the reef area on the seabed. The species are rich.

But the number is too small. They are mostly in twos and threes. Occasionally, they are in groups, which is also a small community.

The ocean is so vast that their small fishing boats can't pull up large nets. The chance of encountering these fish after casting the fishing nets is too small.

The fishing boat had already dropped anchor. Ao Zhiyi saved every penny of fuel. Every boat was a fuel-guzzler. If it could not catch fish after going to sea, it would swallow the owner's deposit.

Large fish schools in the seawater were rare. At this time, to catch fish and shrimp, you had to pay attention to the seabed. Fish schools were likely to survive in the reef beaches, coral areas, muddy and sandy bottoms, and muddy and sandy beaches.

He swam quickly in the water, looking down at the seabed for large reef beaches and coral areas. As long as he found such places, he could find fish schools.

After swimming in the water for a while, he surfaced and saw a red flag on a fishing boat in the distance waving in the wind. This was also a flag signal, calling for the return of the small boats that had been released.

He didn't know what was going on, so he paddled back in the raft.

As soon as he got on the boat, he saw Ao Zhiyi directing the fishermen to cast the nets, so he frowned and said, "Cast the nets here? It doesn't look like there are any fish here."

Ao Zhiyi handed him the thick net rope in his hand and said, "Two days ago, someone from Wangjia Village dragged up a school of pomfret here, including silver pomfret and golden pomfret. I think there must be fish that have slipped through the net here, let's cast a net and take a look."

Taking the net rope, Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "I don't think there are many fish here, but you are the captain and the village chief. If you want to try, let's try it."

He thought it was a big deal before, but it turned out that he was being pulled back to be a strong man. Obviously, Ao Zhiyi was afraid that he would not work hard, so now he didn't need him to find the fish school, but he could be a strong laborer.

The fishing net was cast down, the winch started, and the loose large fishing net floating in the sea gradually opened up, like a pocket falling behind the boat. As the boat sailed, the fishing net became larger and larger, and any fish on the road would be caught in it.

This first net was just to test the way, so the time to cast the net was short, and the boat had to pull it up in less than an hour.

Ao Zhiyi shouted for everyone to pull the fishing net, and Ao Muyang asked: "Isn't there a winch? Why do we have to rely on manpower to pull it up?"

His elementary school classmate Ao Mupeng said in a muffled voice: "Won't the motor consume diesel when the winch is turned on?"

The fishing net was very heavy at first, and it had buoyancy but also resistance in the water. As the net was dragged out of the water, everyone felt relieved.

They felt relieved, but their faces became heavy, which meant that there was no harvest and they could not make money.

Sure enough, as the fishing net was dragged up, there was not much in the net, and most of it was garbage, with only dozens of sea fish of different sizes jumping in it.

Ao Zhiyi's face was gloomy. He pulled the net open and threw plastic boards, garbage bags and the like into the water, cursing: "Fuck, fuck Qin Niang, why are there so many in the sea - Magobee!"

Halfway through his words, his face became even uglier.

Ao Muyang took a look and saw fish under the garbage. They were several sea bass with white bellies turned up, that is, seven-star sea bass, a common marine fish.

The meat of this fish is quite rich and delicious. It is good to catch it, but it is not suitable for the first catch.

It is still due to the customs of the fishermen. According to the sayings handed down by their ancestors, catching a white fish in the first net is considered a bad omen, which means catching in vain and going out to sea in vain, which is very unlucky.

Seven-star sea bass is a kind of white fish. It is divided into black sea bass and white sea bass. The white sea bass caught now is a white sea bass. Although its back is a little gray and black, its belly is white.

At this time, they are jumping on the boat, and their white bodies are even more dazzling under the sunlight.

Ao Zhiyi's face is ashen. He holds a fish, takes out a fish cutter, chops off the fish head and throws it into the sea.

Ao Muyang said nothing. This is the customary way to avoid catching white fish. Cut off the fish head and throw it away, but whether it is useful or not is another matter.

Ao Mupeng lit a cigarette and handed it to Ao Zhiyi, saying, "Second Master, forget it, don't believe this stuff, what era is it now, the eight honors and eight shames of the socialist core values ​​are popular now, keep fishing, there will always be..."

"Okay, you don't need to tell me, go to work, clean up the garbage, don't nag here!" Ao Zhiyi took the cigarette with a curse and entered the cockpit with a gloomy face.

Disturbed by the fishing net, the underwater will be in chaos.

Ao Muyang seized this opportunity to jump into the water. Through the sea water, he achieved his wish and saw that there were many fish swimming in panic underwater, among which a school of sea bass appeared above the reef beach on the seabed.

This school of fish must have hundreds of big fish. Sea bass is a ferocious carnivorous fish. The big fish can be more than one meter long and weigh twenty or thirty kilograms.

Although he did not have a good impression of Ao Zhiyi, after all, he was asked to find fish when he was taken out to sea, so he had to work.

In addition, after obtaining the golden elixir, he decided to stay in the village to develop marine fisheries. In this case, he needed to make a name for himself and establish prestige in the village. No matter what, he had to perform well on this trip to the sea.

After getting on the boat, he said, "Let's put the fishing net again. This time, we will use a deep-water net, put on a sinker, let the net go down 50 to 60 meters, and then go southeast."

Ao Zhiyi, who was smoking, narrowed his eyes and asked, "There is nothing here, is it useful to put the net down?"

Ao Muyang said decisively, "It's right to listen to me!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time, let the net go!" Ao Zhiyi stood up and threw away the cigarette fiercely.

But then he felt that he acted impulsively, and the cigarette was only half smoked. So he saw that no one was paying attention to him, and picked up the cigarette butt and put it in his mouth.

Coincidentally, Ao Mupeng looked back and saw this scene, and he couldn't help laughing.

Ao Zhiyi's old face turned red, and then he said viciously, "What are you laughing at, shit kid, my hand slipped just now, my hand slipped!"

Ao Muyang commanded, the winch kept turning, the fishing net fell down, and went directly into dozens of meters.

After nearly an hour of sailing, Ao Zhiyi waved his hand to command several people to drag the fishing net.

This time they couldn't pull it up. The net rope was very tight. When the net came out of the water, they felt it was very heavy. Not only could they not pull it up, but they were almost pulled down.

Seeing this, Ao Zhiyi was excited and ran to the cabin to start the winch motor.

The mechanical power was huge. The motor hummed and roared, and the huge fishing net was pulled up.
