Chapter 196 Pulling the Net
Zhou Chenglei replied: "You will know in a moment."
Large nets are usually pulled by dozens of people together, and there are often people pulling big nets together in the village. Now There are some, but less, because the fish caught in the big net are not as valuable as the fish caught in the trawl net out to sea.
Zhou Chenglei returned to the boat and handed a few buckets, snakeskin bags and some shovels and other tools to catch the sea, and then threw two bundles of fishing nets down. Both bundles of fishing nets were the size of two bamboos. logs wearing. When the time comes, one person holds a piece of wood, puts the net into the sea, and pulls the net.
After handing everything over, Zhou Chenglei jumped off the boat, pointed at the snail eyes on the beach and said to Jiang Xia: "This beach has more clams and blood clams. You and Comrade Zhang will pick some back first. Me and Jiang Dong goes to set the net and let you pull it when it's time to close it."
"Okay!" Jiang Xia responded and took Zhang Fuyan to pick up the clams.
Zhou Chenglei pointed to one of the bundles of fishing nets covered with logs and said to Jiang Dong: "Take this bundle of fishing nets and follow me to the sea to pull the nets."
Jiang Dong He said excitedly: "How to release it?"
Zhou Chenglei taught Jiang Dong how to do it, and then said: "Let's go to a deeper place first, and I will ask you to start releasing the net, so you start to release the net."
So Jiang Xia and Zhang Fulan watched Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Dong walk out of the sea to release the net.
The two looked at each other for a while and then stopped looking.
The sea water is really at low tide now, and many clams and blood clams are just lying in the shallow water, you can see them without digging.
Not only are there clams, but sometimes you can also encounter a flower crab, blue crab and octopus.
Probably because the tide had just gone out and no one had come to pick it up. Anyway, there were a lot of goods. Jiang Xia and Zhang Fulan had a great time picking them up while stepping in the water.
In less than two hours, the two of them picked up a bucket full.
Zhang Fuyan envied: "If you live by the sea, don't you have to buy meat and vegetables? If you go out every day to pick up some seafood, you will have meat to eat, and there are many varieties."
Jiang Xia smiled: "People in the village rarely eat meat, and basically only eat seafood."
Zhang Fuyan expressed 10,000 envy!
She likes to eat fish and seafood the most!
At this time Zhou Chenglei called Jiang Xia: "Jiang Xia, you can come over and pull the net!"
Jiang Dong said excitedly: "Sister! Sister Xiaoyan, come and pull! There are so many fish in this net!"
The two of them hurried over.
Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Dong pulled the fishing net closer, and then handed it over to Jiang Xia and Zhang Fulan to pull it to the beach.
Zhou Chenglei said to the two of them: "Just like us, just drag the net to the beach where there is no water. If you are tired and don't have enough strength, don't force it. Jiang Dong and I will pull it later."
Jiang Xia nodded: "I know, let's try it first."
Zhou Chenglei let them try, and then the two men went out and pulled back the other net.
They put two nets in total.
Jiang Xia and Zhang Fuyan each pulled a big net ashore with all their strength.
Zhang Fuyan saw many white fish caught in the fishing net, jumping alive in the water, and said excitedly: "So many fish! Xia Xia, so many fish!"
Jiang Xia smiled, " It’s a lot! I didn’t expect so many!”
Jiang Xia saw many fishes breaking free from the fishing net, getting out of the mesh and running away, so she said: "Pull quickly, all the fish are gone!"
Zhang Fuyan also saw it, and pulled quickly, using all her strength to suck the fish. !
But after pulling for about a few meters, both of them felt that they couldn’t pull it anymore!
Too heavy!
It’s very difficult!
Fortunately, Jiang Xia has some experience. She and Zhang Fulan both wore gloves, otherwise their hands would be torn.
Jiang Xia is getting stronger now, but it is difficult for her to pull a fish weighing more than 100 kilograms.
But seeing more and more fish running away, the two of them did not dare to stop and pulled hard.
At the end, Jiang Xia really had no strength and was very tired, so she just sat on the ground and pulled!
Seeing this, Zhang Fuyan also sat on the ground. The two of them were sweating profusely and finally pulled the entire net of fish to the beach.
Zhang Fuyan looked regretful: "A lot of them ran away."
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, those are all small fish, and we can't pull them up unless they run away. Let's pick up the fish quickly."
"Okay!" Zhang Fuyan was instantly resurrected with full health and quickly stood up to pick up fish.
Most of the fish pulled up in this way are mullet, also called mullet. This kind of fish grows very quickly, but not very big.
"Xia Xia, there is a big fish here!"
Jiang Xia looked over and smiled: "You're lucky, it's a sea bass, weighing two kilograms!" Zhang Fuyan happily took the fish Throw it into the bucket.
"Xia Xia, there is a fish spraying ink here! The water is black!"
"Xia Xia, there is a big crab here, how to catch it, I'm afraid Its claws."
"Xia Xia also has a big crab here, it's so big! It has sores on its cover!"
At this time, Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Dong also pulled up another fish.
There were even more fish in their net. Jiang Xia took a look and estimated that there were more than 150 kilograms.
Jiang Dong heard Zhang Fulan yelling and ran over to help her catch crabs.
He didn’t understand how crabs could get sores. Aren’t crabs all shells?
He glanced at the crab with sores in Zhang Fuyan's mouth and said speechlessly: "Sister, these are barnacles! Not sores!"
Zhou Chenglei also took a look and said: "Yes. Barnacles, this kind of blue crab, are only found in the deep sea. They are very nourishing."
Zhang Fuyan said happily: "Isn't that a big profit?"
Then she found another blue crab. Crab: "Jiang Dong, there's another one here! It's running away! Catch it quickly!"
"Where to run!" Jiang Dong shouted and ran over to catch it.
“Jiang Dong, look, there are fish spraying ink here!”
"I've seen it a long time ago!"
"Jiangdong, look, there is a prawn here! It peed!"
"That's the prawn!"
Jiang Xia ignored them and picked up a mantis shrimp. He smiled and said to Zhou Chenglei: "There are so many shrimps. These shrimps have a lot of paste and their bellies are red. I guess there are two or three of them all." It’s heavy!”
Zhou Chenglei: “This is delicious. I’ll go to the restaurant and have someone make it to eat.”
In the excited voices of Zhang Fuyan and Jiang Dong, the four of them picked up half of it. Hours later, all the fish were picked up.
A total of about two hundred kilograms.
Zhou Chenglei put away the fishing net. It was almost eleven o'clock.
Zhou Chenglei sailed the boat back to the city dock, keeping some of the fish, shrimps and crabs that he ate, and sold the rest.
Because there were a lot of mullets, and I kept all the valuable and delicious ones for myself, so I couldn’t sell them for a lot of money, only a dozen yuan or so.
It cost more than ten yuan, and I didn't even make up for the fuel cost of the big ship, but today's happiness is doubled and cannot be measured by money.
The four of them had a meal at Jufulou. Zhou Chenglei asked the restaurant manager Xu Wen'an to help cook some seafood and had a very fresh seafood dinner.
There are shrimps full of red paste, steamed sea bass, fried baby octopus in sauce, fried squid with chili, steamed crab with red paste, fried clams with chili, and a plate of pan-fried mullet and a plate of green vegetables.
Zhang Fuyan was so full: "It turns out that the fish I pulled up was so delicious!"
Jiang Dong: "Of course, I personally put it into the net!"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "That's because it's fresh!"
After dinner, Jiang Dong took Zhang Furyan home on his bicycle. He hung two buckets of fish, shrimps and crabs on the bicycle, and one bucket was for Zhang Furyan to take back. One bucket of food was taken back to Father Jiang and Mother Jiang. There were also two bags of clams and blood clams in the basket on the front of the car, one for each person.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei went to the photo studio to get the last developed photos, and then sailed directly back to the village.
Back in the village, they parked the boat. Before going home, Jiang Xia took Zhou Chenglei and ran to the production team.
The two came to the phone. Zhou Li smiled and said: "A Lei is back from the distant sea? Did he make a lot of money?"
Zhou Chenglei only raised his lips but said nothing.
Jiang Xia smiled and said to Zhou Li: "Second aunt, let me borrow the phone number of the production team and make a call."
Zhou Li said with a smile: "Let's call! Do you want to call home? "
"No." Jiang Xia responded and lowered his head to dial.
Zhou Li pretended to tidy up the desktop, but watched Jiang Xia dial the number, wrote down the number in her heart, and then smiled and talked to Zhou Chenglei, getting closer.
