Chapter 191 What went wrong?
“Come!”
“Let me take a look at these eels in the living cabin!”
Wu Weimin said as he reached out to open the cover of the living cabin.
Zhao Dahai's expression changed and he immediately stopped him. The white eel was not an ordinary fish. Wu Minwei's behavior was no different from seeking death.
Zhao Dahai carefully opened the cover of the living cabin, not daring to open it too much. He only opened the cover to a size that could fit the net, picked up the net and put it down.
Wu Weimin's expression changed. As soon as the net was put into the living cabin, the eels inside were scurrying wildly, the water was agitated, and the sound of hitting the ship's deck was very loud. Then I remembered that what was in the living cabin was not yellow snapper, black snapper or grouper, but a white eel with sharp teeth that could struggle and move desperately. If you take a bite, it is no joke.
“Boss Wu.”
“Where do you put these eels?”
Zhao Dahai picked up an eel.
Wu Weimin thought about it, put it in a mesh bag, and then put it in the live water tank in his car.
"This kind of white eel is generally not easy to feed. You can just put it in the refrigerator."
Zhao Dahai knew that Wu Weimin wanted to feed it, but white eel is really difficult to feed. It is a ferocious fish. Basically, they are extremely difficult to feed. When they are caught or caught, they are left in the familiar living environment. They become very irritable, struggle desperately, and sooner or later die from exhaustion.
“Okay!”
“Just get out of the refrigerator!”
Wu Weimin nodded. He is a cook and knows seafood very well. A short time, such as a few hours, is fine, but a long time is impossible. He plans to keep this batch of eels for ten days, and it is even more impossible to feed them until then. .
Zhao Dahai began to fish out the eels in the live cabin and put them into mesh bags, ten in each small mesh bag, plus ten bags in the refrigerator.
“Yo!”
“These eels are so big!”
……
"Is there anyone who sets the hook?"
"I wonder where you can catch a giant eel of this size?"
......
"It's amazing !”
……
When Zhao Dahai was fishing for eels, many people gathered around the pier to watch the excitement.
"Don't you need to hide a little bit? Don't you want these people to know?"
Wu Weimin lowered his voice. There are more and more people watching the excitement around. They all know that Zhao Dahai has caught a lot of eels by releasing hooks. Someone will definitely go out to sea to release hooks tomorrow. Everyone is very familiar with this sea area and can probably guess where the hooks are placed.
“Today I spent a day placing hooks on the sea and pulling hooks for a day. The place is not particularly far from the pier, and the people who saw it saw many fishing boats.”
"Can't hide it."
"Besides."
"This kind of big white eel is not native and comes with the tide."
"I can catch it these two days, but I may not be able to catch it tomorrow, or even Almost 100% impossible to catch."
Zhao Dahai shook his head. During the day, when I was pulling the hook, many people had already seen it. Whether anyone saw it here at the dock is no longer important. The key is that if you release the hook tomorrow, you may not be able to catch the eel.
Zhao Dahai has decided not to go out to sea to fish for eels tomorrow.
Zhao Dahai rode a tricycle and Wu Weimin drove his off-road vehicle back to the yard. The total weighed was two hundred and one kilograms and seven taels.
"How about two hundred and twenty yuan per catty, regardless of the size of the currency?"
Wu Weimin made the price.
Zhao Dahai nodded in agreement.
“Okay!”
"That's the price!"
Zhao Dahai smiled, he had made a lot of money after a hard day's work. The price Wu Weimin offered was good. He might not be able to sell it at this price if he sold it to others, even to Liu Gang, but Wu Weimin did not suffer a loss. One is that the bigger the white eel is, the more valuable it is. The wild eel is more valuable than the farmed eel. An eel weighing more than one kilogram can usually be sold for about eighty yuan per kilogram. If it weighs one kilogram or two kilograms, it can usually be sold for one hundred yuan. One pound. The eels I caught all weighed more than one pound, and some even weighed five or six pounds. What's more important is that if Wu Weimin buys it from other fishmongers, he has to pay the middleman's price difference, which is definitely more expensive than buying it from himself.
“The total is forty-four thousand three hundred and seventy-four yuan!”
Wu Weimin settled the accounts, often collected seafood, and had cash in the car, so he took the number and handed it to Zhao Dahai, Zhao Dahai made almost 45,000 yuan in one or two days. This speed is really amazing. Whether you can make money from fishing or not, it really depends on the people. There are so many people at the pier going out to sea and fishing. , no one thought of setting the hook, no one found where the eel was first, Zhao Dahai has this ability and this brain, it is natural to get rich. Not to mention anything else, Zhao Dahai was able to catch more fish than others even when he took him out to fish.
“Boss Wu.”
"How about not going fishing?"
Zhao Dahai took the money, counted it, took it home, put it away, and walked out again.
“Ha!”
“Why don’t you fish? I came here just to fish with you.”
Wu Weimin rubbed hard Rubbing my hands together, I feel itchy.
Zhao Dahai said that just a few days after the typhoon, there were very few fish in the sea. When the hooks were released, there were no other fish. If you wanted to fish, it would be more appropriate to wait five or six days.
“Don’t!”
“I really can’t stand it anymore!”
“It doesn’t matter whether there are fish or not, one or two will do. Just get addicted to it. ! ”
Wu Weimin really wants to fish.
Zhao Dahai saw that Wu Weimin insisted on going to sea, and made an appointment to meet at the dock at five or six o'clock tomorrow morning.
Wu Weimin drove away satisfied.
Zhao Dahai walked back to the yard and closed the door.
Zhong Cuihua saw that Zhao Dahai had finally finished his work and immediately called for dinner. It was already past twelve o'clock.
Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen. The food was hot on the stove. He did not set a table, but put the rice on it. He sat in front of the stove and ate heartily while chatting with his grandma Zhong Cuihua. After finishing the meal, he took a shower I'll go to bed immediately after taking a shower. I have to take Wu Weimin out to sea for fishing early tomorrow morning.
Five o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Dahai woke up on time and glanced at the window. The sky began to turn white, and the roosters in the village kept crowing one after another.
Zhao Dahai got up, walked into the kitchen, cooked breakfast and finished eating. He opened the door to the yard and glanced at the sea in the distance. It was very calm. The weather was good. He took several deep breaths and stretched out. After a moment of laziness, he turned around and saw Wu Weimin's car approaching.
Zhao Dahai walked over immediately. Wu Weimin is really a crazy fishing enthusiast. He drove back to the town last night, at least at one o'clock in the morning. The eels he bought from him must be processed, and they must be processed. It takes some time. It's only between 5:30 and 6 in the morning. I can't sleep for three hours. Maybe I haven't slept. I look at the time and rush over again. It's not a real hobby and craziness. I can't do this. kind of thing. Zhao Dahai waited for Wu Weimin to park the car, opened the trunk, took down all the fishing rods and other things, put them on his tricycle, and immediately rushed to the dock. After waiting for a while, the fishing boats that went out to sea for fishing came back one after another. I bought live shrimp and went directly to the sea to fish.
Zhao Dahai had just left the dock with his fishing boat. Wu Weimin thought of the eel incident and said he wanted to see the place where the hooks were placed. Knowing that he wanted to see if someone else would place the hooks there, he turned the fishing boat. direction, rushed over, and when I arrived, I saw that there was nothing wrong. Seven or eight fishing boats were releasing hooks.
Wu Weimin shook his head. The competition in fishing is really too fierce. Without Zhao Dahai’s ability, it would be difficult to make money.
“Boss Wu.”
“Now go to the reef trench to see if there are any fish.”
“If there are no fish, I will take you to the oyster field to try. If you don’t have fish, you can only enjoy the fish steak!”
Zhao Dahai talked about today's arrangements with Wu Weimin while driving the fishing boat away. Although he knew that there were no fish in the sea, especially when he laid the hooks and covered such a large sea area, he could not catch any fish, but since he went to sea However, we still have to let Wu Weimin catch fish as much as possible. We can't just say that there are no fish in the sea.
“Okay!”
“That’s the arrangement!”
Wu Weimin immediately agreed. This arrangement is very good. If you can catch fish in wild fishing, it will definitely be better. If you can’t catch fish, it will definitely be better. If you want, just fish fillets, but if that doesn't work, I can catch two red drum fish kept in a cage and always have a good time catching fish.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat to the reef trench. It was empty. There were only three fishing boats. He immediately felt that something was not good. The typhoon had passed for several days. If there were fish in this place, there would be a lot of fishing boats. , if there is no fishing boat, there will be no fish. Even if you come here, you must try it. I changed several spots and fished for two hours, but there was not a single fish.
Zhao Dahai had no choice but to drive a fishing boat to take Wu Weimin to the oyster field where he had fished very well before the typhoon. When he arrived, he was a bit dumbfounded. It was so densely packed with fishing boats everywhere.
“Huh?”
“Why are there so many fishing boats fishing here?”
Wu Weimin was shocked.
Zhao Dahai smiled bitterly. The oyster field is indeed a very good fishing place, but there were not so many fishing boats in the few times we visited before the typhoon.
Why are there so many fishing boats here?
The oyster fields are sheltered from the wind and the oyster fields are home to native fish, so they are less affected by typhoons. The only reason why so many fishing boats are crowded here is that there is no way to catch fish elsewhere on the beach, so there is no way to crowd them all here.
This is definitely not a good thing.
Zhao Dahai took a closer look and found that there were not only fishing boats in the stream or a few places where fish could often be caught, but also many fishing boats had no place to fish and no fixed fishing spots. They fished directly beside wooden piles or adjusted oyster ropes. .
What does it mean to have more people than fish?
This is the scene before me!
Zhao Dahai drove his fishing boat around the Haitian fields several times and finally found an empty place. The two of them fished for more than an hour only for a small black sea bream as big as three fingers.
Wu Weimin heard Zhao Dahai say yesterday that there were no fish in the sea, and he didn't believe it. Now he finally knows that he was not joking. It is really difficult to fish after the typhoon.
Zhao Dahai and Wu Weimin discussed it and decided not to waste time trying elsewhere and go directly to Zhang Defei's fish steak.
Zhao Dahai and Wu Weimin returned to Langtou Village. They parked the fishing boat at the pier, took their fishing gear and drove to the pier of Paiwan Village. They took Zhang Defei's small fishing boat and loaded up the fish steaks.
"Boss Zhang."
"What kind of fish did the people who served the fish steaks catch recently?!"
Zhao Dahai asked Zhang Defei immediately after catching the fish steaks.
“Isn’t it a typhoon day recently? Some red drum fish ran out of the breeding boxes again!”
“However, a few days ago, many people went up to the fish rafts and caught a batch. , it’s hard to say how many are left. If you have to keep it, you can definitely catch some.”
Zhang Defei took out a cigarette as he spoke. Zhao Dahai refused to smoke and handed one to Wu Weimin.
Wu Weimin patted his thigh hard, he was late.
Zhao Dahai smiled and didn't care. After the typhoon, it is indeed the best time to fish for red drum. However, this kind of fish is not valuable and there are many people fishing. It may not be possible to fish in the past few days. How many fish can be caught? It's noon today and there's no one around. No one can catch as many red drums at least since yesterday.
“That’s right!”
“Some golden fish have appeared in the fish steak recently. They are all very big, two or three pounds, and some of them are black golden fish. It depends on whether you guys look like this What’s your ability?”
Zhang Defei remembered that in the past few days, some people occasionally caught one or two golden fish. These were not native to Yupai. They might have been brought by the tide or simply a typhoon.
Zhao Dahai was immediately moved.
Tiger Haili Jingu on the ground!
This means that the golden fish in the sea tastes very good. In particular, the black gold ancient that Zhang Defei just mentioned is a very rare variety, and the price is very high.
If you can really catch it, as long as there are a few fish weighing three to five pounds, this trip will be very cost-effective. Even ordinary kingfish have very good pulling power and feel very good.
Zhao Dahai and Wu Weimin immediately started preparations.
There is not much space for fish rafts, so you need to use a short fishing rod. The fish rafts are red drum fish, so you have to pull them up quickly to avoid getting tangled in the rope or cutting into the oyster mussels. If the line is broken and the fish runs away, you must use a thick line and a big hook.
Zhao Dahai and Wu Weimin placed poles at several corners of the fish steaks and in the middle of the fish steaks, and kept watch for two hours. Not to mention that there were no red drums that escaped from the golden fish farming.
Zhao Dahai glanced at Wu Weimin not far away. There was really no fish. He was fishing for the red drum fish kept in the cage to find a sense of presence. The pole was bent with a big bow, and the pull was full and the hand felt full. He shook it. Shaking his head, people who like fishing really do it out of necessity.
No way?
What went wrong?
There is no fish in the fish steak?
Zhao Dahai frowned. There were poles placed on the fish rafts, and poles were placed around the fish rafts in all the places where dog sharks might be caught, but there was no movement at all.
Zhang Defei walked out of the small house and called for dinner. A simple meal was provided on fish steaks. Just pay.
Zhao Dahai and Wu Weimin put down their fishing rods. The sky is huge and the earth is big, and the food is the biggest. No matter whether there is fish or not, their stomachs must be filled.
"The impact of the typhoon is not big, right?"
......
"The conditions in your Paiwan Village are so good that you don't need to go out to sea to fish. You can make a lot of money from breeding!"
< br>......
Wu Weimin chatted with Zhang Defei while eating.
Zhao Dahai is holding a big bowl with rice in it, plus a few pieces of pork belly, the pan-fried dried red drum salted fish that is absolutely on top of the cultured red drum fish fillet, and some vegetables. It is ordinary but easy to eat and fill up the stomach. It is a big mouthful. Eating.
Huh?
Jingu?
While Zhao Dahai was eating, he accidentally glanced at the sea water next to the fish house and saw a palm-sized fish. At first, he was not sure what kind of fish it was. After waiting for a while, The fish appeared again, and now I could see clearly that it was indeed a kingfish.
There are fish!
There really are fish!
Zhang Defei did not lie, there was indeed an ancient fish!
Zhao Dahai kept watch for two or three hours, but there was no sign of the golden fish. He was a little suspicious that Zhang Defei had misunderstood or deliberately lied. There was no golden fish here in the fish steak. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he must be right.
Why can’t I catch it?
There is no fish mouth?
Zhao Dahai thought for a while, picked some rice and threw it into the sea water. The golden fish swung its tail and disappeared into the water.
Zhao Dahai ate his meal without a bite, wondering what was going on. If he couldn't catch any fish, there must be something wrong. As long as he thought about it clearly, he would be able to catch it.
