Chapter 188 Feast
"Brother, the money of these boat bosses is really rich!" Chen Yongwei pulled the fishing rope with an envious look on his face, "It would be great if we can buy an iron boat like this sometime!"
"Keep up the good work, we'll be there soon." Of course Li Changle thought the same thing.
Brother Li took it and said: "They are from Shaji Village. In the two years after they were settled into households, they also drove wooden boats like us.
I had good luck the year before last. I encountered a big school of fish and caught several thousand kilograms of good stuff. I ordered an iron boat. I made a lot of money this year, and my brothers borrowed money to buy a second boat."
After hearing this, Li Changle suddenly remembered the family in Shaji Village in his previous life where the brothers jointly bought a thousand-ton ocean fishing boat. "Brother, are you talking about the Shaji Zhou brothers?"
"Yes! That's them. There are five brothers in his family. Their parents have died long ago. The brothers were all brought up by Boss Zhou. The brothers work together. Now they are in Shaji Village. They can be regarded as the first ones."
Li Changle nodded, holding his and Chen Yongwei's shoulders, "Let's work hard and buy a bigger one than his next time."
"Yes, buy the big one!" Chen Yongwei nodded repeatedly.
Before he finished speaking, another large wooden boat about ten meters long arrived, with a lot of silver pomfret and big fish piled on the deck. The Li Changle brothers were envious.
The people on the boat happily greeted Brother Li, "Boss Li, you've made a fortune!"
After reading it, Li Changle thought about it and remembered that this man was the boss of Party Secretary Wang's family.
"Boss Wang, you are here too!" Brother Li happily greeted the dark-skinned strong man.
"Yes, we just arrived, work harder, you will fall asleep from exhaustion!" Boss Wang waved to him excitedly, and drove the fishing boat to chase the fish.
"Ale, A'an, the net is closed!" Brother Li shouted excitedly to them.
"Come on!" Li Changle and his second brother ran over quickly and saw many big deep-sea fish in the net bags.
Red anchovies that were as close as his thighs, bluefin tuna over one meter long, yellowfin tuna, and several swordfish with long swords in their mouths...
The long sword of this thing is not a decoration. If it were not blocked by the silver pomfret and other fish in the net, unable to move, the trawl net would be broken by them and escape.
The dead ones were fine, but the alive ones jumped around after being dumped out. If they were poked by it, even if they didn't die, they might have to lie in bed for ten and a half days.
"Ale, bring me the stick."
Brother Li shouted excitedly, pulled open the rope tied to the net bag, and asked Li Changle to hit the heads of several swordfish with a wooden stick, so as not to give them a chance to jump around and poke people.
"Here we come!" Li Changle hurriedly pulled out a hard wooden stick as thick as an adult's wrist from the rubber bucket. These wooden sticks were used by them for self-defense.
Just like today's situation, if it is a small school of fish, they may be attacked and robbed by those on the south coast. In recent years, the fishermen on the north coast have suffered a lot because they are poor and cannot afford big boats to go to sea.
There were two major operations in the past two years. After the Maritime Safety Administration and the public security demarcated the fishing area, there were fewer fatal accidents in fights over territory. However, if you encounter them in the desert, there are still cases of territory grabbing.
"Pull hard!" After the danger was over, Brother Li followed him and poured the fish in the fishing net onto the deck like water.
The two brothers arranged the fishing net as quickly as possible and returned it to the sea. Brother Li controlled the fishing boat and drove forward slowly following the fish school.
"Ale, quickly bleed those deep-sea fish, and I'll help Awei pull the net." Like a tireless robot, Brother Li ran over to help Chen Yongwei pull the net onto the boat.
"I'm too tired, I can't pick it up!" Chen Yongwei, who pulled seven or eight nets in a row, was exhausted and sat down on the fishing boat.
"You rest for a while, I'll do it!" Brother Li picked up the fishing net and started working on it. Chen Yongwei took a breath and saw that he was starting to close the net. He took a deep breath and got up to help again.
After Li Changle drained the blood of the tuna and swordfish, he shook his sore and swollen hands a few times, wishing he had a pair of mechanical arms that would never tire of them.
After taking a look at my hands that were covered in fish blood, I didn't bother to wash them. I wiped them on my water pants and went up to help pull the net.
At this time, more and more fishing boats were attracted to this area, and the cheers of excitement grew louder and louder.
"Master Hai Long is here to enjoy the meal! Brothers, get your arms out and do it!"
Someone excitedly sang a fishing song: No matter how strong the wind blows when we are sailing, we don’t care if the sun is red when we are basking in the sun, we want to touch pearls and diamonds under the sea...
Li Changle looked at the cheering crowd and felt that the schools of silver pomfret in this area today would allow these offshore fishing boats to show off for a lifetime.
Brother Li looked at the two people with tired faces and punched his sore arms, "Ah Le, Ah Wei, you two hold on tight and take advantage of the opportunity to catch a few more nets. If you miss it, you don't know when you will find it."
!”
"You know, the more you catch, the better." Li Changle rubbed his arms a few times and felt that the muscles in his arms and wrists were sore and uncomfortable.
From the moment they discovered the school of fish until now, the three people pulling the net were so exhausted that they had no choice but to put down a fishing net. The three of them took turns pulling, and one of them took a break.
Master Hailong is giving you a feast, so you can't miss such a good opportunity. If you can catch as many nets as you can, catch as many nets as you can. As long as you are tired, you will die.
There are more and more fish piled on the deck, and if you don't pay attention, you will step on a fish.
"Ale, have you caught so much? You've been here a long time ago!" Lao Er next door stood on the bow of the boat with a fishing net and looked at the fish on their deck with envy and shouted.
Boss Lai, who was at the helm, was also looking at them, with envy almost overflowing from his eyes.
Looking at the fish caught on their boat, and then looking at the fish caught on their own boat, the brothers felt sad for a while, feeling that their luck was not good enough. If they had come earlier, they would have caught more fish.
"It's been a while!" Li Changle saw a lot of fish piled on their deck and said with a grin, "It's been a great day. Every time I cast a net, it explodes."
Lai Laoer glanced at the strong Chen Yongwei and said, "You guys are so lucky! We only caught three nets when we arrived late, and each one made a big hit."
One net contains one to two hundred kilograms of silver pomfret. I haven't seen any fish in more than ten years of fishing. If I had known about it, I would have followed their fishing boat out to sea.
Boss Lai, who was at the helm, looked at the trawl net on Li Changle's fishing boat, thinking about selling the silver pomfret, and went to the dock to load the trawl net.
After saying hello, they went about their fishing operations.
The four of them, Li Changle, cooperated and cast about ten more nets. From the time they found the fish school, they worked until eleven o'clock. It was five or six hours of high-intensity physical work.
The hands of the four of them were not as strong as when they first cast the net. The net was not round at all when it fell to the sea, but they could still catch dozens of kilograms of silver pomfret and one or two big fish.
In the end, I was exhausted, my hands were shaking, my legs were weak, and I couldn't do it any more. I panted and leaned against the side of the ship, sitting on the deck to catch my breath.
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
My eyes were still watching the Lai brothers not far away, chasing after the fish with other fishing boats, and my eyes were filled with regret!
Li Changle looked at the fishing boat in the distance and felt that the person standing on it seemed to be Li Ah Si. He squinted and looked carefully and found that it was indeed him, "Brother, fourth uncle is also there."
"I've seen it a long time ago. No matter how many fish he catches, what's the use? He's just working for the Xu family."
The brothers felt that Brother Li was absolutely right.
Brother Li turned aside Chen Yongwei, who was squinting, and said, "Your future uncle and father-in-law are here too."
"Where?" Chen Yongwei looked in the direction he pointed and saw a wooden boat similar to theirs, fishing not far from an iron boat.
He looked at the iron boat going in circles on the sea with regret and envy, "Brother, let's go back and install the seine net. If we have a seine net this time, we can catch more fish."
Their trawl net can only catch fish in the middle layer. The seine used to catch the fish in the top layer has floats on the top and a counterweight below. After the net is enclosed, the bottom of the net is closed with a cable, and then the net can be closed.
Coupled with the flexible hull of their small fishing boat, it is easier and faster to circle around than their boat, allowing them to catch more upper-level fish.
"The boat is too small. When the new house is built, we will earn money to buy a bigger one and equip it with all the equipment."
Li Changle was fortunate to have installed the trawl net before the typhoon came. Otherwise, they would have relied on them to cast the net, one to two hundred kilograms at a time. It would take six or seven nets to catch a thousand kilograms of fish.
The machine is different. It can drag a net weighing at least one thousand kilograms.
Also, there were so many big fish that preyed on silver pomfret this time, and their trawl nets also caught a lot of them.
"If we had known, we would have sailed that boat out for a day's trial." Brother Li said with some regret, "Oh! I missed such a good opportunity."
Brother Li cheerfully advised: "Take your time, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Thanks to the trawl net this time, look at the deck, there is almost no place to step on."
"There is still one net that has not been pulled up!" Chen Yongwei looked at the mountain of fish on the deck with a silly smile, "Brother, the fish caught this time are about five or six thousand kilograms, right?"
"More than that!" Brother Li did the math, "The trawl net has caught three full nets. You have netted at least more than twenty nets, which should weigh seven to eight thousand kilograms."
"There must be." Brother Li said firmly, "There are many of us, and we are all strong laborers, especially Awei. One of us can do the job of two."
"It's not that powerful!" Chen Yongwei smiled and touched his belly, "I can't do it anymore, I have to eat something."
"You are all more tired than me, I'm going to get the lunch box." Brother Li said as he got up and went over to get the backpack, opened one and saw that it was filled with rice balls and placed it on Li Changle's lap where he was sitting cross-legged.
"Take it yourself!" He unscrewed the kettle and took a few sips, then handed it to Li Changle, "Inside is the rice soup your sister-in-law made early in the morning. It's still warm."
"Yeah!" Li Changle swallowed the rice in his mouth, drank a few mouthfuls of rice soup, and handed it to Chen Yongwei who was standing aside.
The four of them ate some rice balls, eggs, and salted duck eggs, drank a pot of rice soup, replenished their strength, packed their lunch boxes, and took their places to pull the trawl onto the boat.
There were fewer big fish in this net, two red anchovies and a few tuna, but there were quite a few large silver pomfret.
After the fish were poured out, the fish that needed to be bled were bled, and the others were piled on the deck. They just arranged the trawl net and put it into the sea. They picked up the fishing net and prepared to cast the net.
Li Changle raised his head and suddenly saw the Zhou family's iron boat working in front of him. He didn't even let go of the net and speeded up the boat to move forward.
