Vol 3 Chapter 381: Lucky fish, get rich tonight

Chapter 381 Lucky fish, you will get rich tonight

At Li Duoyu's soft call, Zhou Xiaoying woke up and rubbed her eyes, and found that everything outside the window was dark.

 “There are many fish, what time is it?”

 “It’s past nine o’clock.”

 “I’ve been sleeping for so long.”

 “Get up and have dinner quickly. We’ll have your favorite crabs tonight.”

Zhou Xiaoying folded the blanket and put it in the cabinet. The meal looked simple, but it made people feel very appetizing.

 The rice is cooked with dried Balang fish and has a salty taste.

There is also a swimming crab and cabbage soup in an iron basin. There is not much soup and cabbage in it, and it is all swimming crab.

Zhou Xiaoying, who had been eating steamed buns and light pancakes for a day, swallowed her saliva and asked, "Have you ever eaten Duoyu?"

"have eaten."

Li Duoyu said: "These are specially brought here for you to eat. This soup is very rich and fragrant. Drink it while it's hot."

“You lied to me, you must not have eaten yet.”

Li Duoyu put his mouth over and slapped her directly in the face: "Then do you want to smell it and see if there is any taste of swimming crab in my mouth?"

 “There’s something wrong with you.”

Zhou Xiaoying looked at the cabbage and swimming crab soup and couldn't help but said: "This swimming crab soup would be even more perfect if we add some noodles."

“When you go fishing at sea, it’s good to have something to eat. Where else can you choose? Generally, we eat whatever the chef cooks. If we don’t want to eat, we just go hungry.”

 “I’m just making a suggestion, why are you being so serious?”

But we do have some sun-dried alkaline noodles on board. If you want to eat it, can I give it to you? "

Zhou Xiaoying shook her head and said: "No, I'll just talk casually. I'll be satisfied if I have crabs to eat."

 A "click" sound.

 The next second, the swimming crab's claws were crushed by Zhou Xiaoying's teeth.

 Looking at her biting the crab like this, Li Duoyu had a toothache unconsciously.

“When you eat crab claws, it’s best not to bite them with your teeth. If you bite them, you’ll damage your teeth. You won’t be able to eat crabs when you get older.”

Zhou Xiaoying has very good teeth now, but in later generations she couldn't even bite meat. The reason was that she liked to chew crabs. As a result, many of her teeth were cracked and several were replaced later.

Zhou Xiaoying pouted: "I noticed that you have become like my mother-in-law recently. You are becoming more and more nagging me. I am not a three-year-old child."

 “I’m doing this for your own good.”

“You were smoking at that time. Did I tell you that smoking was bad?”

 “I quit smoking too.”

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said, "No, Duoyu, something is really wrong with you recently. Why do you feel more and more like my father and mother?"

After Zhou Xiaoying said this, Li Duoyu realized that as the time of rebirth became longer, his mentality seemed to have changed back to the same as in his previous life after the freshness. He was indeed missing something that young people should Some are full of energy.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Hurry up and finish your meal. After you finish, I will give you something exciting."

 “Don’t even think about it.”

 “How do you know what I’m thinking?”

Zhou Xiaoying said disgustedly: "Look at your own pants."

Li Duoyu looked at it subconsciously and saw that the tent was quite big. He had just had that thought, and his body was the first to react.

 Alas, my mentality is old,

 But the body is very young.

Zhou Xiaoying looked over to the trawler while eating. She found that the crew was arranging the fishing nets, as if they were going to continue fishing.

“There are so many fish, it’s so late, why don’t you go to bed and still fish?”

Li Duoyu smiled evilly and said, "You are so looking forward to sleeping, so I'll take a shower first."

Zhou Xiaoying gritted her teeth.

 “You’re kidding, don’t bite me.”

Li Duoyu said seriously: "We will continue fishing later. We have three boats. If we only catch one net, we won't be able to make back our money."

Zhou Xiaoying asked in confusion: "With so many crabs, can we still make money back? I heard someone say that swimming crabs in Rongcheng are sold for 30 cents per pound."

Li Duoyu patiently explained:

"It can't be calculated like this. Our large-volume sales are different from the retail price. They all change the price of one or two lots. If the price in Rongcheng is 30 cents, our wholesale price is only 15 cents. ”

 Zhou Xiaoying was surprised: "It's such a big difference."

Li Duoyu nodded: "Although there are quite a lot of swimming crabs in a net, in fact, it can only be sold for three hundred at most, and it has to be alive. If it is dead, it may not even be sold for one hundred and fifty."

And here, for so many people in the fleet, we have to deduct one day's wages and meal money, and then deduct the fuel expenses and ship damage expenses, and finally have to share it with the three ship bosses.

It is easy to catch two or three nets a day. When the fish catch is not good, the nets have to be set all day long, and everyone does not even have time to sleep. "

 Zhou Xiaoying knew that it was hard for people to go to sea, but she never expected to be so tired. She did a simple calculation:

"According to your calculations, there won't be much money left in your hands."

“Well, there really isn’t much money left. If we only catch the same net just now, after deducting all expenses, the three ship bosses can only earn about thirty each.”

 “That’s a bit true”

Zhou Xiaoying wanted to say that it was not easy to make money, but she suddenly realized.

Now, she only earns 40 yuan a month from hard-working teaching. This is because her salary has been increased this year. Last year, she only earned 35 yuan a month.

And they earned her a month's wages by catching a net of swimming crabs.

This is called not making money?

But thinking about the eels that Li Duoyu had farmed before, she did a simple calculation and found out why the eels were so much more expensive than swimming crabs.

 Zhou Xiaoying sighed and said:

 “It’s better to engage in breeding.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Now I finally know how to start farming. I didn't know who it was before, and I was worried all day long that I wouldn't be able to sell the eels."

Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him and pushed the remaining rice and swimming crabs in front of him.

 “I can’t finish the food, so you are left to eat.”

 “Why did you only eat so much?”

“Isn’t it okay if I lose weight?”

After Li Duoyu finished the rest of the meal, he saw that the fishing net had been sorted, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted:

　　【Minrong 031, this is Minrong 107. I will go ahead to explore the road first to see if there are any rocks. 】

 Zizzizi.

  【Minrong 031, received, we will set off immediately. 】

 After the trawler packed up the trawl net, it turned its bow and sailed in the direction of the Li Duoyu fishing boat.

 When trawling, it is the time for the crew to rest, but the cabin in the summer is simply not suitable for people.

 It was so hot that I was sweating. The smell of foot odor and sweat doubled, and there were a lot of fleas, bed bugs and a kind of small cockroach.

Chen Liang just lay down. After squinting for a while, he felt a little itchy on his waist. When he opened his clothes, he saw nearly 20 small red dots, which were extremely itchy.

　　　“Hey, how can you sleep now?”

Chen Youquan frowned: "Just get used to biting, and they won't bite you in the future."

"Forget it, I won't sleep in the cabin anymore, I'll sleep outside on the deck."

“Sleep in the middle of the boat, don’t sleep on the side.”

"knew."

Chen Liang kept scratching the bitten area, but it still felt itchy, and it started to bleed from scratching, so he felt a little relieved.

 Wait until he gets behind the deck.

Looking at the fishing boat not far ahead, I couldn't help but sigh: "Damn it, when will I get a boat like this?" The second uncle, who was sitting under the mast and smoking, said calmly: " Don’t be anxious, if you work hard, you will get there in the future.”

Chen Liang glanced at him sideways and asked, "So you have worked hard for so many years and now you have your own boat?"

 The second uncle was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought. There were some things that he knew quite well.

The reason why Li Zhengfa and Li Niantian were able to get up was due to the superposition of multiple factors, but the most important thing was probably the small yellow croaker secretly hidden by the old lady.

Without the small yellow croaker, they would not have been able to buy the boat that originally belonged to the fishing team after the fishing team was disbanded.

And if Li Duoyu hadn't stolen the goods in the early stage, he wouldn't have had the first pot of gold to engage in kelp farming, and there would have been no such things later.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem right. The reason why these people are successful is not only due to external factors, but more importantly, they work really hard.

There were quite a few people who went for training at the beginning, but it seemed that only the Li family could really read a sextant and draw a nautical chart.

 That’s why the captain of the fishing team has always been a member of the Li family.

The second uncle raised his head and glanced at the cockpit. The boss of the ship did not come out to work with him personally, but sailing the ship was not easy at all.

 It can be said that the boss of the ship is the person who has worked the longest on the ship.

 The second uncle glanced at Chen Liang. This child was quite good in nature, but he had never suffered much before. He was irritable when doing things and always liked to complain.

The second uncle sighed: "I don't have my own boat. That's a problem of the times. But you are so young. If you can't afford a boat in the future, you are lazy and stupid."

　　“You’re obviously a four-character person.”

 The fishing boats at night all flash their lights. This is telling nearby fishing boats that our fishing boats are trawling and please stay away.

 In this swimming crab fishing season, at night, you can see fishing boats with flashing lights in the distance, and there are quite a few.

Zhou Xiaoying, who was lying at the window, looked at a bright light not far away and asked with a little fear: "Duoyu, why is the boat in front of me a green light? It looks a bit scary."

Li Duoyu looked in the direction of Xiaoying and saw a ship with green light. He was confused for two seconds and then said:

 “That one should be a fishing boat rounded up by lights.”

“Is it like a small fishing tube? If you shine it with a light, fish will come over.”

"Roughly the same."

“Whether their lights are better at hunting, or your fish finder is better.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "At night, of course they are more powerful. Those big fishing boats can catch several tons in one net."

Zhou Xiaoying was surprised: "Is it so exaggerated?"

 “Well, generally those kind of ships are big ships.”

 In fact, what Li Duoyu said was quite conservative. After seeing the green light, Li Duoyu had already guessed that it was most likely an imported light fishing boat.

 Such large fishing boats are generally owned by state-owned fishing companies, and the equipment on the boat is also very advanced, including fish finders and the like.

 At this time.

 The fishing boat on the opposite side also spotted them, and its lights flashed.

　　is a signal prompting them to take a detour.

 At the same time, Li Duoyu's walkie-talkie also made a beeping sound.

 【Here Zhezhou 271 Can you hear it? If you hear it, please answer. 】

 Li Duoyu picked up the walkie-talkie and replied directly:

 【Zhezhou 271, this is Minrong 107 you can hear it】

　　　【Minrong 107, our company is conducting purse seine operations in the sea ahead. Your fleet's channel is currently in conflict with ours. Please make a detour. 】

  【Minrong 107, received, our fleet is preparing to detour, please feel free to carry out the seine operation. 】

  【Minrong 107, thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation. 】

The third uncle who has a radio installed also received the message. The only problem that is more troublesome is the uncle's boat.

However, if there is no radio, communication can also be carried out using lights.

The third uncle pointed one of the lights at Li Niantian's fishing boat and flashed a signal.

 Not long after.

The other party also flashed his light several times.

Chen Liang, who was sleeping in the middle of the deck, asked curiously: "What does flashing this light mean?"

“This is a signal light. I don’t know the specifics. It probably means that you can’t go forward and have to take a detour.”

"How did you know."

 “You will also know it after you have been with the ship for a long time.”

 Chen Liang wondered: "Why is that ship not equipped with a radio? If there was a radio, communication would be so easy."

"There's no need to install it, that ship will be sold soon, and they will buy a bigger ship soon."

Chen Liang was surprised and said: "Change to a bigger boat, how big a boat, how many meters."

 “I also heard from people that it is at least forty meters.”

Chen Liang instantly became very happy: "Hurry up and change the boat as soon as possible. This boat is full of bed bugs and fleas. It's impossible to sleep."

 Looking at my second uncle who was smoking a cigarette.

Chen Liang couldn't help but asked: "Looking at you smoking this cigarette all day long, is this cigarette good to smoke? Give me a sip."

The second uncle knocked on the pipe, stuffed some tobacco into it, and then handed the long pipe over.

 “Ahem.”

 “It’s really hard to smoke.”

After taking two puffs, Chen Liang started coughing on the spot: "Why is this cigarette so choking?"

The second uncle laughed and said, "Do you think anyone dares to smoke this cigarette?"

About an hour after the fleet detoured, Li Duoyu stopped the fishing boat and two lights were lit on the mast.

 A white light is put on it.

 The following is a red light.

 After seeing the light signal, the two trawlers behind also lit up the same light.

And this kind of light is the signal light for stopping the boat and setting up the net.

 As the winch rotates.

 The trawl net was slowly collected, but what everyone didn't expect was that although the net was quite large, the net bag was full of tiger fish, which should have been caught by the fishing boats when they took a detour.

 After seeing the fish, the crew members could not help but shake their heads and sigh, with disgust on their faces.

This thing is not only cheap, but also troublesome to process. Not only do you have to remove the head, but you also have to peel it off. Even old fishermen like the second uncle and the first uncle don’t like it.

 Some time ago, Rongcheng Aquatic Products Company commissioned them to catch the fish for a month. Now seeing this fish, it really gives me a headache.

Li Zhengfa, the boss of the boat, looked ugly when he saw the fish on the net bag. If the whole net was full of this kind of fish, it would be a real loss. Fortunately, there were swimming crabs under the net bag.

 “This fish won’t need to be processed later, so just sell it cheaply.”

 After hearing this, the crew immediately became excited:

"Scared me."

 “If we really peel it, we won’t have to sleep tonight.”

As the net bag was untied, to everyone's surprise, a large colorful fish over one meter long slipped out of the net bag.

“What kind of fish is this? It’s so beautiful. The white spots on its body feel like stars.”

 “Looks a bit like a sunfish.”

“I have seen a sunfish, this one is definitely not a sunfish.”

Li Duoyu was also very excited when he saw the fish: "Wow, I made a fortune tonight."
