Chapter 156: The fish is spiny, the dwarf is wise
Li Changle and the other three stepped on the rocks, one foot deeper and one foot shallower. When they saw the large flower snails and oyster snails in the shallow puddles, they picked them up and put them in buckets.
"Brother, come here quickly, the puddle that brother mentioned is here." Chen Yongwei shouted while standing on the rocks below.
Li Changle picked up his backpack and ran over. He saw the puddle under a large rock, which was twice as big as the puddle just now.
The water in the pit is not as turbid as the big rock. You can clearly see the rocks inside and the happy little fish and shrimp swimming in the water. I think there should be something hidden in it.
Chen Yongwei walked into the puddle and measured the depth. The pit was not deep, the deepest part was less than two meters, but there were a lot of stones at the bottom of the pit.
"It's been working for a long time down there. Let's look for it above. Where can we find it?" Brother Li stood on the rocks and said panting.
"Brother may have remembered the wrong location." Chen Yongwei climbed ashore and took out the plastic tube in his backpack, "Brother, can you pump the water out?"
The kind of white plastic hose Li Changle bought was six to seven meters long in one circle, with a total of six circles.
There may not be recycled plastics these days, and the smell of plastic pipes is not like the dark pipes of later generations, which have a pungent smell.
Li Changle looked at the terrain, nodded and said, "Yes, it's the same as when we pump diesel."
As soon as he said it, both Chen Yongwei and Brother Li understood. They picked up a circle of plastic pipes, untied the hemp rope tied to it, put one end into the puddle, picked up the other end, squatted on the ground and pointed it at the mouth of the pipe.
Sucking hard, the seawater climbed up the tube and quickly flowed into your mouth.
"Bah, bah, bah!" Li Changle spat out a few mouthfuls of salty sea water and watched the water in the puddle flow out along the pipe.
Chen Yongwei looked at him with admiration, "My brother is still great, now I don't have to cramp my wrists from exhaustion."
The second brother Li looked calm. The third brother has been working hard on labor-saving things since he was a child, and he has many clever ideas!
"Brother, you have to use your brain when doing things, so that you can save time and effort." Li Changle proudly took out the cigarettes, handed one to each of them, sat on the rocks warmed by the sun, lazily leaned against a rock, and swallowed leisurely.
The clouds are puffing up.
Watching the six water pipes rushing out, and the water level in the puddles dropping visibly, I felt that there was no need to be out of breath like an ox or a horse if you had money to relax.
Brother Li leaned against the reef and looked into the distance, "Ale, you see there are fishing boats operating on the sea in the distance, but you don't know what the catch is like?"
Li Changle laughed and said, "It's been a few days since I've been on the boat to cast the net. Are your hands itchy?"
Brother Li smiled and nodded, "Yeah! I've really thought about it. Once we've scoured this puddle, we'll cast a net."
The sun was scorching hot. Chen Yongwei sat for a while. Unable to sit still, he took the bucket and went to look for fish in the nearby reef pit.
Brother Li finished smoking a cigarette and spit out the cigarette butt far away. Unable to stay still, he also got up and patted his butt, picked up the bucket and went to the nearby puddle to pick up oysters and clams.
Six water pipes discharged water at the same time, and the stones in the puddle were quickly exposed. He walked to the puddle, took a look, and frowned. The water was already very shallow. Logically speaking, if there was a big fish, he should be able to listen.
It's time to make a noise!
No movement at all, 80% out of stock!
"Brother, Ah Wei, let's do it." Li Changle flicked the cigarette butt far away, took off his yellow rubber shoes and got ready to work.
"Come on!" Brother Li ran over with a bucket and took a look, "Hey, it seems like there is nothing to do!"
Chen Yongwei also nodded repeatedly, "Not even a splash, which shows that it is not a big deal."
Li Changle became even more discouraged after hearing this, "I think so too, why not go to the beach to pick up sea turtle eggs?"
"Turtle eggs can't run away!" Brother Li gave him a funny look, "The water is almost exhausted, and you have to hug a pole to get through whether you have dates or not."
"Get in the water, get in the water!" Li Changle rolled up his trouser legs to his thighs and got into the water. He picked up the net on the reef, picked up a few Pipi shrimps, poured them into the bucket, and turned around to see a tiger fish swimming through the crack in the rocks in front of him.
came out.
He gently inserted the net into the water at an angle, aimed at the fish's head and pushed forward to lift the fish upright. He lowered his head and looked over. It weighed about a pound. The brown spots were somewhat similar to tiger skin stripes, and there were ten long dorsal fins.
Six or seven fin spines.
"Ale, be careful!" Brother Li hurriedly grabbed him, "This is a tiger fish. Its fin spines are poisonous. It is more toxic than a sea snake. If you are poked by it, it will make you roll over in pain, or the whole village will be eaten.
Seat."
When he was a child, he saw that villagers in the village who had been stabbed by this kind of fish died before they were even brought to the shore. Thinking about it now still makes him frightened.
Seeing the worried look on his face, Li Changle felt warm in his heart. Not only did he know that tiger fish is poisonous, he also knew that this kind of fish has high nutritional value and medicinal value, making it a great tonic.
"Brother, I recognize it. Although this thing is poisonous, it tastes very good. The meat is tender and delicious. If you give it to a restaurant, you can sell it for several yuan per kilogram!"
Brother Li heard that one kilogram can be sold for several yuan per kilogram, and he can earn back the diesel money by selling such a big one. "First pick it up and keep it in a small puddle next to it. After the puddle is finished, pick it up and store it separately."
"
After saying that, he reached for the dip net in his hand and dumped the fish into the shallow puddle next to it.
Chen Yongwei looked at the tiger fish jumping in the puddle and the steel needle-like spines on its dorsal fin, "My dear, there is such a poisonous fish!"
"There are many poisonous things in the sea, such as sea catfish, rockfish, golden drum fish, oil cone, blue-ringed jellyfish, cone snails... Whenever you encounter some poisonous things, you must be careful."
After saying that, he directed the two of them to poke the cracks in the rocks in the puddle again with the handle of the net. Two more tiger fish came out of the cracks in the rocks, and they also caught two large blue crabs and several white catfish.
Brother Li was happy to tie up the blue crabs, "Two blue crabs weigh about five pounds, so the work was not in vain."
Li Changle was not satisfied at all and threw the shrimp into the bucket. "After working for a long time, we only caught a small amount of fish. Isn't the work in vain? We moved the rocks and saw that there were no fish, so we hurriedly removed the float."
Brother Li was worried that he was making a lot of money every day these days, and he looked down on the small money. "Ah Le, it's impossible to make a few hundred dollars every day. If it were like this, the people in the fishing village would have gotten rich a long time ago, and our family would have had a good time."
New building.”
"Yes, brother, when I was fishing alone in the sea, I was so happy to have such a harvest." Chen Yongwei said as he put the white fish into a bucket.
"I see, you two are as nagging as old ladies." Li Changle said hard and understood. He realized that he was a little distracted and started working honestly.
After a while, all the rocks in the puddle were exposed, and the water pipe could no longer absorb water. The three people collected the plastic pipe and began to move the rocks.
As soon as Chen Yongwei moved a stone away, an orchid crab quickly escaped with its claws and teeth, "Brother, hurry up, the orchid crab has escaped."
Li Changle hurriedly covered it with a net. Chen Yongwei stepped forward to press the crab shell, grabbed it, took out the hemp rope, tied it up quickly, and put it into the bucket.
Over there, Brother Li caught a few more shrimps, but they were no longer interested in the remaining small fish. They went ashore and used a small net to pick up four tiger fish, quickly put them into a bucket, and carried them back.
.
After boarding the boat, they poured the fish and shrimp into the live cabin and added a few pieces of ice inside. Chen Yongwei started the diesel engine and the fishing boat slowly sailed away from the island. The three of them planned to cast two nets in the sea ahead.
Of course it is good to have big fish, but if not, small miscellaneous fish are also good. Anyway, the bait in the ground cage is not enough, so it is just right.
The speed of the boat was very slow. When they arrived near where Huzi was fishing yesterday, Brother Li came out of the cabin carrying the fishing net and walked towards the bow. As he walked, he wrapped the fishing net around his wrist.
When the net falling block leaves the deck, grab the waist of the fishing net with your right hand and hold the net little by little. When there is only a little bit of the fishing net left, hold it at shoulder level, hook it with the middle finger of your left hand, squat down slightly with your legs, and raise your upper body
Spin around and throw the fishing net far away,
The thrown nets spread out evenly in the air, forming a large circle. The fishing nets fell into the water under the gravity of the net pendant.
After the net sank completely to the bottom of the sea, after a while, Brother Li slowly retracted the net, trying to compress the space for fish in the net to move as much as possible.
As the fishing net was drawn closer, the waves on the water surface spread out and water splashed. The fish in the net seemed to know that they were imprisoned and were scurrying around in the fishing net in order to escape.
The fish in the net stirred up bigger waves and splashed more water, which meant that there were not only more fish but also bigger fish. Li Changle stretched his neck excitedly and waited for the fishing net to leave the water.
"Good boy, this website has goods!"
Brother Li nodded, "I felt it when I pulled the rope. It was heavy and a bit laborious."
Chen Yongwei turned off the diesel engine and ran over, "Are the fish big or not? What kind of fish are there?"
"It hasn't been pulled up yet." Li Changle excitedly stepped forward to help Brother Li pull up the net. The two brothers worked together to easily drag the net onto the boat, shake the net and start picking up fish.
Three swordfish, this kind of fish is not big, it only weighs a few ounces. The Spanish mackerel weighs about ten kilograms, the Qingzhan eighty-nine weighs more than ten kilograms, and the most is the Huangzhan, which weighs seventy or eighty kilograms in total. This kind of fish weighs more than the Qingzhan.
It is slightly more expensive and can be sold for a quarter of a pound.
There were also seven giant catfish, all of good size, the big ones weighing four or five kilograms, and the small ones weighing two or three kilograms.
The body of the anchovy is as slender as a knife, with silver-white soft scales. When eating the anchovy, you don’t need to scrape off the scales. The fish jelly cooked with it is as delicious as yellow croaker jelly and hairtail jelly.
In the past, the anchovy caught in the fishing village during the fishing season of April and May would be marinated with distiller's grains mixed with salt, placed in a fish ceramic urn, with a layer of fish and a layer of wine troughs, layer by layer, until the urn was full and sealed.
After taking it out and steaming it for about three weeks, the anchovy fish has soft and rotten flesh, a fresh and salty taste, and a faint aroma of the wine tank.
The only drawback is that in addition to a few large spines on the abdomen of this fish, the flesh of the fish is covered with small spines. People in the fishing village ridiculed anyone who made things too complicated, saying that he did things like "fish bones".
