Chapter 246 is over! what to do?
"Zhao Dahai."
"Are you sure you can really make more money by doing this?"
Lei Da is a little worried, Zhao Dahai just said It is said that these golden pomfrets will not be sold immediately, but will be marinated into dried salted fish.
“Definitely!”
Zhao Dahai is very sure that he can definitely sell it at a higher price.
"Isn't this impossible?"
Zhong Shizhu and Lei Da have the same view. There is no great need to pickle salted fish. Selling it fresh is the best, so change it immediately. The price of fish is quite good, especially during the fishing moratorium.
"Uncle Shizhu."
"Uncle Dayou."
"Golden pomfret is not a high-end fish."
"But if it is pickled and made into dried salted fish, such a large size will immediately raise the price."
"It can sell very well. Price."
Zhao Dahai grew up by the sea and knew that golden pomfret is not a high-end fish. It is not easy to sell it at a good price. If you want to increase your value, pickling it into salted fish is a simple way. Effective method.
“Ha!”
"I think you two are really unfounded!"
"Zhao Dahai will do something that you are not sure about?"
Liu Bin shook his head.
Zhong Shizhu and Lei Da laughed for a moment. Zhao Dahai must be confident enough to do such a thing, so there is no need to worry.
Zhao Dahai took a rest for a while. It was getting late, so he immediately drove the speedboat with both engines on and rushed back to the dock. All the fish were pulled back to the yard and all were iced. It was already two in the morning when everything was finished. point.
Zhao Dahai walked back to the room and took out some money, one for wages, one for the many fish he caught today, and the other person received a red envelope worth two thousand yuan.
Did Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da politely excuse themselves? When they go fishing and catch a large number of fish, shrimps and crabs, the ship owner has the habit of covering up with red spots. This is a common thing, Zhao Dahai There is nothing wrong with this. People like me work hard and feel at ease.
Zhao Dahai sent Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou away, and agreed that Ma Hongyu and others would come to help pickle the salted fish tomorrow. The wages were three hundred yuan per person per day. He and his grandmother Zhong Cuihua were unable to deal with it. Got more than two thousand golden pomfrets.
Zhao Dahai woke up. When he opened his eyes, he heard someone talking in the yard. He listened carefully. It was the voices of Ma Hongyu and grandma Zhong Cuihua. He immediately got up, stretched and walked When I went out, I saw Ma Hongyu, Xu Dongxue and Luo Lan busy killing fish in the yard.
“Yo!”
"Zhao Dahai!"
"The size of these golden pomfrets caught yesterday is really good!"
"It must be more than two thousand catties of fish!"
Ma Hongyu has quick hands and feet, I took a fish in my left hand and pressed it on the chopping board. I took a knife in my right hand and slashed the fish belly. I inserted the tip of the knife into the fish belly and scraped it twice. All the fish intestines and other internal organs were scraped out. After a while, I rinsed it with water. Clean and tidy.
“Who would have thought that you could catch so many fish in the sea?”
Xu Dongxue smiled. When Liu Bin came back in the evening yesterday, he told himself that he had caught more than two thousand kilograms of golden pomfret. He didn't believe it at all. When he came to see it this morning, he was shocked. It must be more than two thousand kilograms.
“Ha!”
“I was lucky yesterday and happened to hit that place with a big school of fish.”
“Liu Bin, Uncle Liu and several others were working You have to work hard to catch so many fish.”
Zhao Dahai pulled up a stool and sat down, just about to work.
“Hey!”
“The sea.”
“You don’t need to do this anymore, just a few of us.”
Roland Stop it now.
Zhao Dahai thought for a while and nodded. Even though there were so many fish, Ma Hongyu and the others were quick and could kill them all in half a day.
Zhao Dahai was not idle. He immediately found a large dustpan made of bamboo at home. There were many fish and it was not enough. He went to the homes of his second grandfather Zhao Shi and Zhong Shizhu and borrowed ten A few, all washed and hung up to dry.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Ma Hongyu, Xu Dongxue and Luo Lan killed all the golden pomfrets, washed them with salt water three times and marinated them, then placed them one by one on the dustpan to dry. After all the work was done, it was already five or six o'clock in the evening.
The sun sets.
The evening breeze blows gently.
Zhao Dahai stood in front of the first dustpan at the beginning. In just over an hour, the water on the top of the fish skin had dried up, making it tight and a little wrinkled.
“Not bad!”
“It’s really good!”
Zhao Dahai looked at the golden strips on the more than a dozen dustpans in the open space in front of the yard. Pomfret is in a very good mood.
Golden pomfret has a fatal weakness. The fish meat has a special smell. People who like it will think it is the smell of licorice. Most people don't like this smell and cannot accept it. However, it can be pickled into dried salted fish. When fried in oil, this smell is greatly reduced and turns into another very charming aroma. People who don't like fresh golden pomfret will immediately change their attitude.
In addition, the golden pomfrets I caught were very large, so it was easy to sell them at a good price. Actually, it’s the same thing as red drum. Red drum fish are sold fresh. The fish has little flavor and is not cooked properly, so it is not delicious. However, once it is pickled into dried salted fish, it is big and thick, and its value doubles.
Sold to Liu Gang or to Wu Weimin?
Liu Gang’s restaurant doesn’t really need this kind of dried fish, right?
Zhao Dahai was wondering who to sell these golden pomfrets to after they were dried. At first, he planned to sell them to Liu Gang's Hongyun Restaurant, but after careful consideration for a while, he thought it would be better to sell them to Wu Weimin. But there is no need to rush this matter, it will take at least three to five days to dry. After Zhao Dahai finished dinner, he remembered that the speedboat was almost out of fuel and he would have to continue running out to sea early tomorrow morning. He immediately went to the dock and drove the speedboat to refuel and fill up the tank.
Zhao Dahai went to bed early when he got home. He got up at around four o'clock the next morning. After breakfast, he took the things he had prepared to the pier, got on the speedboat, packed up briefly, and immediately went to sea. Every day's life is almost exactly the same, either on the fishing road, on the road selling fish, or some daily things, nothing earth-shattering.
Zhao Dahai left the dock almost two nautical miles away. He clicked on the navigation. Today he will not catch yellow chickens or black bream. He will not go to Windmill Corner for the time being. After catching so many fish, there are not many fish left. It takes time to gather or grow fish, so just go fishing for grouper.
Zhao Dahai ran for a full three hours, basically at a speed of forty knots, covering more than a hundred nautical miles in one go.
Zhao Dahai looked at the navigation and fish finder, and immediately approached the spot where he would fish for grouper today. He raised his head and looked east. The sun had almost risen. He looked left and right at the sea. It was calm, and he was the only one. One speedboat for one person, no one else, no other speedboat.
Zhao Dahai shook his head and went fishing in the open sea. He often encountered such a situation. If he was not brave enough, he would not dare to come to such a place.
Today’s fishing spot is very far away. Ordinary speedboats are reluctant to travel such a distance, as they have to burn a lot of gasoline.
Zhao Dahai couldn't catch grouper at the Windmill Corner fishing spot several times before, so he decided to try hard today. This is the furthest fishing spot he knows.
Zhao Dahai looked at the fish detector and saw that the water depth had reached 120 meters. He just thought about whether to try the hand spinning wheel and gave up immediately. It was really a bit deep and the hand spinning wheel was like this. It can't play a big role in the place where the thread is too long, and the movement and feeling of the hand are greatly affected. In addition, once there are fish in such depth of sea water, their openings will be very fierce, so delicate operation is not needed at all.
Zhao Dahai immediately started to prepare. The electric winch was installed on the pole, and the pole was locked on the fort. The plug of the electric winch was plugged in. After trying it, there was no problem. Group.
"Whether you can make money today or whether you can catch a big fish depends on you!"
Zhao Dahai picked up the big hook of the hook door that was almost as wide as a finger, and fished out a big fish from the live cabin. The shrimp is hung on the shrimp gun and placed in the live cabin at the feet. This is a universal bait that can be eaten by any fish.
Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry and immediately put down his fishing pole. Before the start of the fishing moratorium, I followed a few speedboats here. I just set the location of the fishing spot and left. I am not particularly familiar with this place. If I want to fish here today, I have to scan the spot to find the structure first.
Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat slowly, watching for fish. The water did not rise. Try fishing at a fixed point to see if you can catch fish, but you must first find the structural area. Fish on the bottom of the sea hide in such places.
“Yes!”
"This should be a trench!"
...
"But!"
"It looks like it should be narrower!"
...
"I wonder if it is one meter wide!"
......
Zhao Dahai studied the topography of the seabed seen on the fish detector and found a trench with a drop of almost ten meters, but this The trench is not wide.
Zhao Dahai was a little hesitant. There must be fish in such a place, and it is not easy to accurately place them in the ditch. The seabed is not calm, and the water flow is very likely to be very fast. The lead drop is too light and cannot reach the bottom or deflects. The lead drop is too heavy. , the signal from the fishing rod becomes very weak, and it is very possible that the fish took the bait or ate the bait without even knowing it.
Would you like to find another place? !
Zhao Dahai looked up at the calm, mirror-like wide sea around him and shook his head. It was too wide here. It was not easy to find a suitable structure in such a place. It took almost an hour to find the trench. , I feel unwilling not to give it a try.
Zhao Dahai decided to give it a try. He really couldn’t catch any fish, so he looked for another structure.
Zhao Dahai thought for a while, and replaced the fishing group with only a three-pound lead pendant and replaced it with a six-pound lead pendant.
Seventy meters!
Eighty meters!
Ninety meters!
Zhao Dahai looked at the thread that was already skewed. He shook his head and did not continue to let it go. He pushed the switch and started to take up the thread.
The water depth of less than a hundred meters is already unbearable, and the lead pendant may now be almost twenty meters away from his speedboat.
It is impossible to reach the correct location, it is impossible to reach the trench on the bottom of the sea.
Zhao Dahai changed to eight pounds of heavy lead and tried it. This time it was slightly better, but when it reached a depth of 100 meters, the line was still offset very much. There was no way but to close it again. line, again for heavier lead.
"If this one doesn't work, then there's nothing we can do!"
Zhao Dahai picked up a twelve-pound lead pendant and hung it on the figure-eight swivel ring. This was his heaviest lead pendant. If you can't reach the bottom, you can only change to another fishing spot. When you see that the live shrimp is dying, you hang up a new shrimp. The replaced shrimp is thrown in the refrigerator. You can either eat it for lunch today or cook it back. It must not be wasted. .
Eighty meters!
Ninety meters!
One hundred meters!
One hundred and ten meters!
One hundred and twenty meters!
Zhao Dahai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bent and tight line of the fishing rod, bounced upward, and almost became horizontal. The fishing line immediately became loose and loose. At this time, the lead pendant hit the bottom smoothly.
Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand and pulled the thread, and found that the deviation this time was not particularly severe. The position where the lead hit the bottom of the sea bottom was about three meters away from the tail of his speedboat, which was already very good. , at least it has reached the bottom, and it is not too far off. As long as the speedboat drives forward three to five meters, it can control the lead falling into the trench.
Zhao Dahai just wanted to let go of the thread in his hand and move the speedboat forward. Unexpectedly, the thread immediately bounced out and tightened immediately.
ah?
Is there a fish biting the hook?
Didn’t you just get to the end?
Is there fish before you even hit the bottom?
Isn’t it outside the trench?
Zhao Dahai had no psychological preparation and did not expect a fish to bite the hook. He reacted two seconds too late before pushing the switch to retract the line.
The tip of the fishing rod placed on the fort immediately bent down and entered the water directly.
The electric winch rotated twice and stopped immediately.
Do it!
Motor protection!
It’s over!
What to do?
Zhao Dahai's expression changed. This was a fish that was hooked. It was too big and had too much pulling force. The electric winch could not hold it anymore and it got stuck.
Asking for monthly ticket recommendations! Thanks!
