Chapter 83 Make money without going to sea! Good sign!
Zhao Dahai was not anxious at all, he was as steady as an old dog. One after another, the manta fish was pulled to less than two meters from the side of the boat. It looked even bigger now.
“The big sea!”
“The fish is too big. The net cannot be used!”
“There is no hook with a long handle!”
Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayong were anxiously running around.
Zhao Dahai did not expect that he would catch such a big fish, especially a devil fish. The largest diameter of the net he prepared was one meter, but it was not enough to see in front of this fish. The nets on the surrounding fishing boats are also a bit small. What's even worse is that there are no long-handled hooks. The short ones don't work. When the hook is hooked, the manta fish tail flicks, which can kill people. The fish is important, and the life is even worse. important.
What to do?
Zhao Dahai looked at the manta rays floating on the water. Don’t look at the peaceful and harmless appearance now. It’s just that he was tired and it took too long to get on the fishing boat or to the shore. , after regaining strength, he will definitely continue to struggle and may run away.
Zhao Dahai was a little helpless. It took him a long time to pull it out of the water, but there was nothing he could do.
"Is there something wrong with your mind? Pull to the shore!"
Zhao Shi got up early in the morning and was having breakfast. Someone in the village shouted that Zhao Dahai caught a huge manta ray at the small pier. As soon as he threw it, he came over immediately, just in time to see the manta fish pull out of the water. Zhao Dahai didn't know what to do, so he yelled immediately. Such a big manta fish was pulled out of the water. It would be a shame if it really ran away. A fish of this size ran away just once and was impossible to catch again.
Zhao Dahai's eyes lit up. Why didn't you think of this method? You can't catch it with a net, and you can't hook it without a hook with a long handle. The only way and the best way is to pull it to the shore. My fishing boat is only about 20 meters away from the shore when I test the water. The cable on the bow of the boat is What is hooked is the beach. As long as you pull the cable and drag the fishing boat to the shore, you can go ashore.
Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou realized the same thing and pulled the rope to the beach to pull the fishing boat.
Zhao Dahai controlled the fishing line in his hand and pulled the manta ray forward in the direction of the fishing boat. The manta ray struggled for a long time without much strength. Like a good rabbit, he could pull it as he wanted, and the boat When we got to the shore, we stepped on the water and walked onto the beach. We continued to pull the manta ray to the shore, and soon it was stranded on the beach where the waves were beating.
Zhao Shi took the seven or eight meter long dianthus pole from Zhao Dahai's fishing boat and held down the long tail of the manta ray.
Zhao Dahai put down his fishing rod and walked over, trampled the tail of the manta ray to death, and pulled out the finger-sized venomous stinger on the tail. Then he felt relieved and dug his hands into the nostrils of the manta ray. , dragged ashore hard.
“Second Grandpa!”
“You have to be old to have experience!”
Zhao Dahai sat down on the beach, and this devil fish exhausted all the energy in his body. You have to take a break if you have enough strength.
"Hmph!"
"With so many people here, no one has thought of this method?"
Zhao Shi glared at Zhao Dahai.
Zhao Dahai rested for a while, stood up, and found a large basket. The manta ray left the water and had no stinger. He got on the back of the motorcycle, yelled to Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou to come home for lunch at noon, stepped on the accelerator, and drove to the town to sell fish.
Hongyun Restaurant.
Liu had just finished collecting the fish delivered in the morning and had not finished smoking a cigarette. He looked at Zhao Dahai from a distance as he came on a motorcycle.
Why are you here today?
Liu Gang is a little strange. Zhao Dahai has been selling blood eels for half a month and twenty days now, and he has not come once. He said that he would not fish for the time being while repairing the boat. Could it be that he came today? The fishing boat is repaired and goes out to sea to sell fish! ?
Zhao Dahai stopped in front of Liu Gang on his motorcycle. Without saying a word, he opened the plastic sheet covering the basket.
“Huh?”
"Such a big devil fish!"
Liu Gang was startled.
“Haha!”
“Just caught it! Boss Liu, do you want it?”
Zhao Dahai reached out and rubbed it on the manta ray to see if it was fresh or not. , look at the slime, your hands are full of slime, absolutely fresh. "Haha!"
"How could you not want it? Ten yuan per catty!"
Liu Gang looked at the manta ray in the basket, thought about it for a while and then made a price of ten yuan per catty.
“Boss Liu.”
“Manta rays ranging from three to five kilograms to ten to eight kilograms, let alone ten yuan, were sold for three to five yuan a kilogram. This fish must be over a hundred Jin. The meat is nothing. The most valuable thing is the fish liver.”
"How about I cut out the liver and sell the fish meat to you. Not ten yuan. I'll sell it for eight yuan a pound!"
Zhao Dahai will not be fooled. Small manta rays are really not very valuable, and no one even wants them. For example, one or two kilograms of size costs two or three yuan per kilogram. The one I caught by myself is worth more than a hundred people, and its worth is immediately different. It is really valuable. It's not the meat of this fish but the liver. The liver of such a big fish is very big. This is the truly delicious thing. For some people who like to eat, it is definitely the top delicacy.
“Yo!”
“No more cod liver. Don’t talk about eight yuan. I don’t want six yuan!”
……
"Why doesn't the meat of a hundred kilograms of stingray taste bad? If you go to the vegetable market, you can't sell it for six yuan?"
......
"Twelve yuan a kilogram!"< br>
……
“Twenty-one pounds!”
"I won't sell it for less than this amount!"
......
Zhao Dahai and Liu Gang bargained and sold the manta ray for eighteen yuan a pound. After weighing it, it was one hundred and twenty. Three pounds and seven taels, two thousand two hundred and twenty-six yuan and six cents.
Liu Gang watched Zhao Dahai leave on his motorcycle, looked down at the manta ray, and a smile immediately appeared on his painful face. Eighteen yuan per pound is indeed not cheap, but you can make a lot of money. Manta rays have no hard bones, only cartilage. Small manta rays have no meat and are very soft and not tasty at all. But manta rays weighing dozens of kilograms or even more than a hundred kilograms in front of you can be braised with garlic and ginger. , tender and sweet, with crispy cartilage and very delicious, especially the liver of the manta ray. Zhao Dahai is right, this is the most valuable part of the whole fish.
Liu Gang shouted, and the restaurant chef came out. The two of them studied how to kill the manta ray to get out the complete fish liver.
Zhao Dahai rode his motorcycle and bought braised beef, pig scalp, etc., and two bottles of wine at the delicatessen in the town. He returned to Langtou Village and called out to Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou who had helped him in the morning. His second grandfather was indispensable. Zhao Shi, eating meat and drinking wine in the courtyard.
“The manta ray is really big! It probably swam from the deep sea with the tide. If you hadn’t happened to catch it, it would have definitely returned to the deep sea when the tide went out.”
Zhong Shizhu pinched a piece of pig scalp and put it in his mouth.
“Ha!”
“Zhao Dahai’s luck is really amazing. The fishing boat got off to a good start before it even went out to fish.”
"This is a good sign!"
Lei Dayou smiled and took a sip of his wine. A giant manta ray weighing more than 120 kilograms can be caught in shallow water such as a small pier in a village. You really have to be lucky.
Zhao Shi took a sip of wine, ate a piece of pig scalp, and smoked a water pipe from time to time. He said nothing and was very happy in his heart. Lei Dayou was right. He had caught a big fish without going to sea. Fish, really a good sign.
