Chapter 230: Saying it is the same as not saying it
When Li Changle woke up early in the morning and saw Zhou Ruonan lying lazily beside him like a kitten, his first thought was to continue laying the floor tonight!
"What time is it?" Zhou Ruonan looked at him sleepily.
"At half past six, you can sleep a little longer and I'll go to Grandma's place to eat."
The high tide time today was almost seven o'clock, so they got up later.
"There's a lot of cold rice left last night. I'm going to beat two salted duck eggs and fry you a bowl of fried rice and make a bowl of seaweed soup. It'll be ready in a while."
"Okay, then you can take a break at noon."
Li Changle quickly got out of bed and went out, and saw Brother Li coming out with a rubber bucket in one hand, "Brother, have you eaten?"
"Your sister-in-law is cooking rice." Brother Li stacked the rubber buckets together and put them on the tricycle, and continued to move other things.
By the time Li Changle came back from the hut, he had already moved all the fishing gear to the car and put them away.
"When we get to Chuiyuan Island, we must first put away the ground cage and pick some small fish and shrimps to use as bait."
"The ground cages are not enough. After leaving the port, put down the trawl net and drag one net and it will be enough." Li Changle thought about it and said, "The ground cages have been down for two days. I wonder if there is any big cargo?"
"That depends on luck."
"It's the same as not saying anything." Li Changle muttered, and when he entered the room, he smelled the aroma of fried salted eggs and old wine.
After pouring water, brushing his teeth and washing his face, Zhou Ruonan put the meal on the table.
"Ale, it's not good to eat rice and cold eggs every day. Let me tell my sister-in-law that I will give you some vegetables, rice noodles, and lard today. How about you bring a small iron pot and cook it on the boat?"
"Okay!" Li Changle agreed readily.
There are so many duck eggs, mussels, baby abalone, oysters, and shellfish on the island. Just pick up a few and you can cook a big pot of seafood noodles that are so fresh that your tongue will drop.
By the time he finished his meal and went out, Brother Li had already put the iron pot and fresh water into the rubber bucket.
Chen Yongwei came over with a bamboo basket and saw that they had brought an iron pot with vegetables and noodles. He pointed to a few melons, boiled eggs and corn cobs in it, "Brother, do you still want these?"
"Yes, let's make snacks in the afternoon." Li Changle said and got on the tricycle, said hello to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the yard, and rode the tricycle towards the pier.
When they arrived at the pier, they saw Lin Changrong and Wang Mazi standing at the entrance of the seafood store, talking in high spirits. Seeing him coming, they smiled awkwardly and nodded to him.
"Ale, are you going to sea?"
"Yes!" Li Changle responded briefly and pedaled towards his fishing boat.
"Bah! I've earned a few road bucks, and I really think I've shed my poor skin." Wang Mazi spat at Li Changle's back.
Lin Changrong felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that, and suddenly lost the intention to continue chatting with him. He took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to him, "I'll leave you alone about the TV."
"Okay, keep it with me, I promise to give it to you at the age of sixteen."
Wang Mazi put the money in his pocket, sent Lin Changrong away, and sneered at Li Changle's busy figure: "Awu egg, I earn more than a hundred in one sentence, how can you compare with me?"
Over there, Li Changle and Brother Li bought ice cubes from Chenji. Brother Li and Chen Yongwei had already moved the fishing gear to the boat.
He jumped on the boat with the box in his arms, waited for Brother Li to come over, and waved to Chen Yongwei, "Awei, let's go!"
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei put the oil drum away, took the handle and shouted to Brother Li on the boat next door. The two started the diesel engine and drove the fishing boat away from the dock.
I saw fishing boats in front of me, heading towards the open sea like arrows from the string.
Li Changle squinted his eyes and looked at the fiery red sun, "Today is another sunny day."
"Yes, in another hour, people will be sunburned." Brother Li said and went to the stern of the boat to clean up and prepare to put down the ground cage net later.
"Good morning, Boss Ale!"
Li Changle turned around and saw Chen Amao's fishing boat approaching the fishing boat. He took out a cigarette and handed it to him, "It's better that you were earlier. They are all here."
Chen Amao walked across to him with a smile and took the cigarette from him, "Why didn't I see your family collecting fresh goods at the dock yesterday?"
"I was working at home yesterday and will continue to collect today."
"Okay, I'll meet you at the dock in the afternoon." Chen Amao gestured to the boatman at the driver's seat, and the fishing boat accelerated past Li Changle's boat and headed forward.
Li Changle went to the stern chute to release the long trawl net and put it into the sea. The two brothers sat on the deck and closed their eyes, listening to the sound of the motor, blowing in the sea breeze and sailing towards Chuiyuan Island.
More than an hour later, the fishing boat arrived near Fukiyuan Island. Looking into the distance, we could vaguely see a fishing boat operating.
"Awei, the net is set up."
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei started the net lifting machine. The fishing net slowly floated to the surface amidst the "click" sound of the machine, and the flat mesh bag appeared in front of several people.
Although I originally started trawling with the intention of collecting miscellaneous fish as bait, I was still a little frustrated when I saw the net bag.
Chen Yongwei also left the driver's seat and came to help. He stared at the flat mesh bag and said, "Damn! So few?"
"I still made my diesel money back." Brother Li said, stretched out his hand and pulled the net bag to the deck, unzipped the rope of the net bag, and all the fish in the bag poured out onto the deck.
Fish skins, shrimps, red fish, squid, shrimps, crabs and some unknown fish were jumping on the deck.
The three of them hunched over and began to sort the fish. The crabs included blue crabs, orchid crabs, swimming crabs, and three-eyed crabs. They were tied up in big five-flowered crabs and put into rubber buckets.
Small miscellaneous fish and shrimps are kept as bait, and fish, shrimps and crabs that are too small are directly thrown back into the sea and released.
At this time, Brother Li drove the fishing boat and slowly approached them, "Ah Le, Ah An, come here and put the net."
"Okay!" Li Changle and Brother Li jumped on the boat, helped lower the trawl net into the water, jumped back into the fishing boat, and watched Brother Li drive the boat away, continuing to work.
"Brother, there are still big products. This one weighs more than two kilograms and can be sold for five or six yuan." Chen Yongwei grabbed a flat and wide flat fish skin and said to Li Changle.
"Yes, this net is worth a little bit of money even if the fish skin is broken."
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
Li Changle threw the fish into a rubber bucket. The amount of fish that could be used to make the fish was about thirty or forty pounds. He could pick out some big ones and cook them for the craftsmen he invited.
The Pipi shrimps weighed twenty or thirty kilograms. The skinny and small ones were all thrown back into the sea. The ones left behind were all fat and thick. Selling them fresh was really not worth it, so the only option was to peel them and dry them.
The three of them were busy for more than half an hour, sorting all the fish on the deck, putting those for bait into buckets, and those that could be sold for money into rubber buckets, and sprinkled some ice cubes to keep them fresh.
Li Changle and Brother Li took out the bamboo basket containing the line set, "Awei sailed the boat and launched the longline."
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei started the machine and moved forward at a constant speed.
The Li Changle brothers began to bait the longline. Brother Li reminded Chen Yongwei from time to time to keep the boat speed at about six to seven knots.
This speed range can effectively release the hook. The hook will not be thrown because the boat speed is too fast, nor will the hook be tangled because the boat speed is too slow and the line is loose.
"Brother, are the fishing lines and hooks you bought last time almost ready?"
"Five sets of threads, I sent two sets to Yufang to do, and kept the rest at home. It was almost ready. I was busy with the new house yesterday and was delayed for a day. I should be able to finish it in one day today."
Li Changle nodded. This time they did two more groups of longline fishing. Including the three groups here, there were five groups in total. With more than 200 hooks, they could also catch more fish.
Brother Li took the pendant and tied it to the main line. After putting the line group into the water, he continued: "Longline fishing is fast, but the ground cage net will take some time."
"Let them do it slowly. I think longline fishing is better than fishing in cages on the ground. At least the fish caught are big fish."
"Yes, the starting price for delivering to a restaurant is to sell large items."
Soon all the longlines in the three bamboo baskets were released. Li Changle waved to Chen Yongwei, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the lower ground net.
Chen Yongwei saw the floating ball in the ground cage net, released the throttle, and the boat slowly stopped.
Li Changle picked up the iron hook and hooked the floating ball to the side of the fishing boat. He took off the floating ball and pulled the fishing rope to pull the ground cage towards the fishing boat.
This was the second time the nets were launched in this area of ​​the sea. The few people were not worried about the rocks hanging the nets below, but the water was a bit deep, so it took a while to pull the nets out of the water.
Brother Li reached out and grabbed the steel ring of the ground cage to help pull the net to the boat. He shouted in surprise, "Look, Ah Le, it's a big tiger eel again."
Li Changle was equally happy to see that First.com had large-scale products. Now is the time when money is needed, and he hopes that the more large-scale products the better!
After hearing this, Chen Yongwei also stretched his neck to take a look. The target of the ground cage was large, and he also saw the tiger eels inside. He said with great joy: "It's a big deal at the opening. Today's fish catch must be good."
Li Changle nodded, lifted up the cage net, and shook the fish inside into the fish collection bag.
Only then did I see that there were clams, snails, several very large oysters, crabs, and black snapper.
He once again felt that there were not only many black sea bream in this area, but they were also very greedy. This guy was found every time the net was hauled in or the long line was hauled in.
After the fish was put into the fish collection bag, Brother Li quickly opened the mouth of the bag and poured the fish inside into the rubber bucket. The tiger eel immediately started swimming in the bucket, trying to escape.
Li Changle came over with long pliers, aimed at its neck and clamped hard. The tiger eel opened its mouth full of spikes, turned its head and bit the pliers handle.
Li Changle looked at the struggling tiger eel, which he estimated to be 13 or 14 pounds, and said, "Damn it, it's so fierce, I can't even try to bite the iron off."
"Be careful, this thing can break bones." Brother Li said, catching the tiger eel in a net bag and putting it into the living cabin.
Li Changle took a handful of hemp rope and walked to the rubber bucket, grabbed the black snapper, threw it into the bucket, and began to tie the crabs.
There were four swimming crabs, seven orchid crabs, and five blue crabs. The big one weighed more than two kilograms and the small one weighed one kilogram. Only then did I realize that there were also crabs that had been bitten to death in the bucket. They seemed to have been killed by tiger eels.
Damn it.
This thing preys on a wide range of prey and eats a lot. It eats fish, shrimps, crabs, octopus, and cuttlefish. Li Changle suspected that there was not a single shrimp in the cage, and it might have been eaten by this guy.
