Chapter 159 Return
Li Changle quickly accelerated the speed of pulling up the ground cage and called Chen Yongwei to quickly sort the fish, "Awei, the weather is not right, just tie the crabs, and put all the other catches into the bamboo basket, and sort them slowly when they land."
."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei sped up the movements of his hands, "God, aren't you kidding me? Seeing that the catch in the last row is getting better, the wind picked up."
Brother Li, who was at the helm, also looked at the sea in the distance and saw a black cloud sweeping in from the southeast.
He frowned and looked at the flowing clouds that were quickly sweeping in this direction. He judged that a storm was coming, and he had to sail the fishing boat into the fishing port to take shelter before the storm swept over. Otherwise, the small wooden boat of Alejia would be destroyed very soon.
Might be torn apart by storms.
While he started the engine, he shouted to Li Changle, "Ale, a big storm is coming, quickly pull the ground cage to the deck, hurry! Don't worry about the catch."
"Got it." Li Changle also felt that the wind was getting stronger, and hurriedly called Chen Yongwei, and the two of them worked together to drag the remaining two ground cages onto the boat.
Regardless of the catch in the ground cage, he threw it directly on the deck and gestured to Brother Li to run back with all his strength.
Before Li Changle put down his hand, he had already increased his power and drove towards the dock.
"Awei, hurry up and lift the rubber bucket containing the rice and fish in the live cabin. Also pick up all the fish in the live cabin and put them in it. It may be too late to get to the dock."
He was worried that the strong wind would last for several hours and the catch on the boat would not be sent ashore in time to be sold or kept fresh with ice, so today's catch would be in vain.
"Okay!" The two of them quickly ran to the cargo hold, lifted up the rubber bucket inside, picked up all the fish inside and poured it into the bucket.
Then put the catch in the warehouse into bamboo baskets, put them together with crab baskets and rubber buckets, and wait for the boat to dock and quickly deliver them to the shore.
"Ah~" Chen Yongwei exclaimed, pointing to the dark clouds in the southeast and shouting: "Brother, look over there!"
Before he finished speaking, the originally calm sea suddenly became turbulent. The waves were as high as the hills, and the black clouds surged over like a huge black curtain, covering their fishing boat.
The boat rocked on the sea like grains in a sieve, and people standing on the boat seemed to be doing weightless training.
"What the hell! How come the wind and rain are coming so fast?" Chen Yongwei staggered as he walked and almost fell down on the deck. Li Changle stabilized his feet, grabbed him, and pulled him to sit down against the side of the ship.
"Brother, the wind has picked up. It looks like we will have to rest for a few more days."
"Then take advantage of the rain and drive the boat to Zhangjia Port to install the net hoist and slide."
Even though they earn hundreds of yuan for several days in a row, the weather in coastal areas is changeable and they may not be able to go to sea for half of a month. Being unable to go to sea means no income.
Li Changle used his feet to hook the net over the ground, and saw that the fish and crabs were still struggling in the fishing net, and there were two moray eels coiled in the fish collection bag.
Just as he was about to untie the rope, a thunderbolt exploded in the sky, and the dark clouds seemed to be torn open by a white light, followed immediately by another deafening thunder.
The sea in the distance was already dark. In the strong wind, the waves rolled, and the heavy rain poured down, hitting the ship like nails, making a "crackling" sound.
The heavy rain formed a curtain of rain, covering the sea. The Yantou Mountain, which is usually clearly visible, could not see anything but the white rain curtain.
The rain was so intense that it was hard to keep one's eyes open, but within a short time, Li Changle and Ah Wei were soaked to the skin.
He wiped the rain off his face and saw Brother Li standing in the driving seat through the rain curtain, firmly controlling the direction of the ship and speeding towards the dock.
One after another, like arrows, the fishing boats sailed towards the pier quickly. Everyone was eager to get back to the pier to take shelter before the eye of the storm hit.
Their fishing boat soon passed a rowing boat. Looking at the fishermen rowing desperately on the boat, Li Changle was glad that he had modified the fishing boat into a motorized one.
Otherwise, with the weather like today, the three of them might not be able to get back to the dock even if they risk their lives just by rowing.
Seeing that the storm was coming, the anxious Brother Li saw his heart in his throat when he saw the lights of the pier. He quickly sailed the fishing boat into the temporary shelter of the pier.
Brother Li, who was waiting at the pier, saw the fishing boat entering the port, and his anxious heart was completely settled.
Regardless of whether they could hear it or not, he waved to them excitedly, "Ale, A'an, I'm here!" He shouted while pushing the tricycle quickly towards them.
The relatives who came to pick up the boat were happy to get on the boat to help when they saw their man and child safely docked.
At this point, the amount of fish caught is no longer important, but a safe return is the most important.
Li Changle quickly dropped the anchor, picked up the cable and threw it to Brother Li, then rushed to pick up the bamboo basket. He saw Chen Yongwei holding a rubber bucket in one hand and jumping onto the shore in one step.
He looked at himself, who was holding a bamboo basket, and his cold face, soaked by the rain, felt a little warm.
Brother Li picked up a bamboo basket, and he also didn't forget to take the basket with fishing gear on his back. This was what they used to eat, and if he lost it, he would have to spend money to replace it.
At this time, Brother Li also jumped on the shore and helped lift the last bamboo basket ashore.
The four people piled the catch on the tricycle. Chen Yongwei stepped on it and pedaled the tricycle quickly. The three Li Changle brothers pushed the tricycle behind and hurried towards Chen Kee Seafood Store.
On the pier, fishermen carrying bamboo baskets and rubber buckets were constantly passing by, greeting everyone they met happily.
Now everyone's focus is on their own families, and they have no time to look at the bamboo baskets stacked high on the tricycle.
Li Changle looked back and smiled when he saw the oar boat sailing into the shelter.
"Come back soon!"
"I'm back in a hurry. I never dreamed that the storm would come so quickly!"
"Yes, those who hurried and hurried slowly finally got there."
"A'an, have you seen my Atai?" an old couple asked anxiously.
Li Changan turned around and pointed to the safe haven, "In the back, they are still moving things on the boat!"
"Oh!" The old couple who asked suddenly showed smiles on their faces, and ran towards Atai's fishing boat in a hurry.
When the four of them, Li Changle, pushed the tricycle and ran outside Chen Kee Seafood Shop, a storm came ashore, and the dust, sand and gravel on the ground were blown all over the sky by the strong wind from all directions.
The doors and windows creaked due to the wind, and the large wooden basin placed at the door of the shop was picked up by the wind and hit the wall with a bang, falling to the ground and falling into pieces.
"Come in quickly, I'll fix the door panels." Chen Dong shouted to several people, and together with Lao Chen, he quickly inserted the door panels into the grooves.
As soon as a few people pushed the tricycle into the shop, there were already three or four villagers waiting inside, and then a dozen more villagers came in carrying bamboo baskets and fishing catches.
After entering the house, everyone said that today's storm came too suddenly, and if you move or react a little slower, you may not be able to make it back.
The family standing behind the Li family saw the bamboo basket on the tricycle and stepped forward to take a look in surprise, "Ale, where did you encounter crabs moving again?"
Another person also exclaimed, "Damn~ Why are there so many blue crabs? Have you destroyed the crab nest?"
"With such big wind and waves, where can I find crabs to move and destroy their nests? They are all caught in traps and nets."
Li Changle did not want to come to the seafood store to sell his catch. Firstly, the price was not as expensive as in a restaurant. Secondly, he was worried that the villagers would see him and become jealous.
If it hadn't been for a storm and he was worried that his work would be in vain today, he really wouldn't want to come here to sell fish.
At this time, more villagers came in to sell their catch. When they saw several people surrounding the Li family's tricycle, they all put down their bamboo baskets and water buckets to surround it.
"Look, yellow-finned fish, these two big eels weigh seven to eight kilograms each, right?"
"Mom, why did you get so many tiger fish?"
"Be careful. If I poke you, we might have a banquet."
With everyone's envious eyes, it was Li Changle's turn to weigh the family, and the four brothers lifted the bamboo basket off the tricycle.
When Chen Dong saw the big blue crabs in the bamboo basket, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "Brother Ale, you can get so many blue crabs in cage nets on the ground. I looked at several fishing villages nearby, and I'm afraid you are the only one."
A portion!"
This guy, a dilapidated small wooden boat, can catch more fish than other people's iron boats of more than ten meters.
Li Changle smiled, held him in his arms and walked toward the corner, "A Dong, the good products today are not just those big blue crabs. Let's agree on the price of the blue crabs first, and then talk about other good products."
Chen Dong knew that he was cooperating with Phoenix Restaurant. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to say the price too low. "In this way, if it weighs more than one kilogram, I will charge one piece for four, and if it weighs less than one kilogram, I will charge one piece. What do you think?"
Li Changle smiled and shook his head, "If it's a pound or more, it's a dollar and a half, if it's a pound or less, it's a dollar or a pound, you can make money by changing your hands."
"Brother, you can't do this. You know, the wind outside is so strong, and you don't know when it will stop. If a few of them die tonight, I will suffer a big loss."
Li Changle thought about it. If it hadn't been for a storm, he wouldn't have sent the catch here. "Okay, I'll sell it to you as you said."
Chen Dong nodded happily, "Brother, you just said that there are other good products. What good products are they? Let me see first?"
"A few tiger fish, two red groupers weighing four to five kilograms, and a rice fish weighing fifty or sixty kilograms..."
"What?" Chen Dong thought he heard wrongly, turned to look at him and his voice unconsciously increased by two points, "You said you got another rice fish weighing fifty or sixty pounds?"
Li Changle smiled and patted his shoulder, "Young man, calm down, calm down! You don't have the spirit of Chen Ji's young boss!"
"Brother, please stop cheating on me." Chen Dong looked at him with gleaming eyes, "What my little boss earns in a day is not as much as yours who carries a bucket to the sea."
"Your brother is an honest man and tells the truth!"
