Vol 3 Chapter 505: Leading the fleet to catch shrimp

Li Duoyu looked at the frightened young man in front of him, and some less important information from his past life appeared in his mind.

 He remembered something related to Old Tang, which was the reason why Old Tang entered Xiasha Village.

He had heard someone say that it seemed that there was a shipwreck, a relative who went to sea with Old Tang died, and the ship was lost. Perhaps out of guilt, he came to Dandan Island as his wife.

If Li Duoyu guessed correctly, only Old Tang survived the shipwreck in his previous life, and his younger brother left.

It’s no wonder that every time Lao Tang talks about Shangqi Village, he always avoids topics related to his relatives and rarely returns to Shangqi Village.

Li Duoyu has personally experienced this kind of pain. If something happens to two people going to sea like this, those who survive will be shackles for life.

Just like in his previous life, no matter how he explained it, Agui's family would not listen. They all thought that Li Duoyu had killed Agui for money and life.

Especially that Zhang Meiying, who is completely unreasonable. Speaking of this person, I don’t know how well she has been reformed in Rongcheng Fourth Hospital.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh, poured a cup of hot water for each of the two brothers, and gave them some light cakes to eat.

After a while, the young man named Tang Xiaopao regained his composure, and his face turned slightly red.

Tang Weiquan pressed Tang Xiaopao's head: "Director Li, thank you very much."

Li Duoyu glanced at the two brothers and said, "You must be still very cold. Hurry up and warm yourself up by the fire."

Not only did he save them, but he also gave them clothes to wear. At this moment, Tang Weiquan suddenly thought a lot. Could he have fallen in love with them?

Seeing a whole net full of prawns, Shitou seemed very excited and immediately forgot about what he had just done with a grown man.

Tang Xiaopao felt a little aggrieved and muttered: "I'll just touch the seat in the cab to see if it's genuine leather."

Tang Xiaopao sighed: "Brother, there are still many good people in this world."

Seeing that their clothes were all soaked, Li Duoyu took out two sets of clothes from the cabin:

“I happen to have two spare sets of clothes, which are quite shabby. If you don’t mind, just make do with them.”

Tang Weiquan smiled naively and said: "You have helped our brothers so much, why do you have the nerve to wear your clothes again?"

After Tang Weiquan took over the clothes, he sincerely thanked him: "Thank you very much, Director Li."

Tang Weiquan said: "Xiaopao, why don't you stop fishing and go to Director Li's place and help him work for free for a few years. This can be considered as paying off the debt."

"That's not OK."

Tang Xiaopao curled his lips: "I mean, I never want to go out to sea on that small sampan again. You see how safe this kind of boat is. It doesn't feel particularly rocky in such big winds and waves."

Even though Tang Wei was cold all over his body, his heart was warm. But for some reason, he felt that Li Duoyu seemed to be too kind to their brother.

 A sea bass weighing two to three kilograms will kill an unknown number of shrimps in one day.

In order to save people, Li Duoyu and the others cut the rope of the net. Now they can only drive the fishing boat to the other end of the net.

"What do you think?"

 It seems that the despair of being entangled in a fishing net and held under the boat for nearly half an hour left a big shadow on him.

Tang Xiaopao was about to reach out and touch the main seat of the cab, but his brother immediately said harshly: "Don't be mean, if it gets damaged, we can't afford to pay for it."

“I also heard from people that this boat is more expensive than the combined savings of everyone in our village.”

Li Duoyu said: "It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just old clothes and not worth much. I usually keep them here for emergency use."

Tang Wei shook his head like a rattle. If he really liked it, he would probably do it by himself when he was warming up.

Tang Weiquan was stunned for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Director Li, you risked your lives to save us. We two brothers are really touched. How dare I ask you to help me save the ship again."

There used to be five or six shrimps on one meter of sticky net, but now there are more than ten on one meter of sticky net, and big bass are caught from time to time.

Tang Weiquan also wanted to help them, as a small reward for saving his life.

The two brothers can't stay naked all the time and hide in someone else's bed. That would be too embarrassing. Besides, they have already started to set up the net.

After a while, Tang Xiaopao, who had put on his clothes, looked around the fishing boat, his face full of excitement: "Brother, is this boat the one we saw before? It's white, looks good, and runs well." The one that’s fast?”

Li Duoyu continued: "By the way, I have something to tell you. When our boat left just now, we found that your fishing boat had sunk. We originally planned to help you "reverse" it after dawn. I didn’t expect it to go down so quickly, you probably need to find someone to fish it out.”

Li Duoyu looked at his watch. He didn't expect that time passed so quickly. It was already past two o'clock in the morning. He planned to put away the remaining fishing nets and ground cages. If he moved quickly, he might be able to put them out again. Once the network.

“I would like to, but they may not accept it.”

 “Don’t be too polite, just say thank you, that’s enough.”

Tang Weiquan rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know who it is. When they were first rescued, they cried and shouted that they would never go to sea again?"

Tang Weiquan looked at the wet clothes aside. It was still quite cold in this **** weather. Even if there was a coal stove, it would take a long time to dry the clothes.

 The purchase price of prawns is at least three yuan, while sea bass is very cheap. The purchase price of fishmongers is only about two cents at most.

Tang Xiaohu's eyes widened: "Is it true or not?"

 After picking up the bamboo float, they continued to use manpower to pull the net. Perhaps due to the change of weather, Li Duoyu and the others obviously had more large yellow shrimp stuck to the net.

After seeing these big bass, Li Duoyu was very disgusted. This guy is a big shrimp eater, and he can eat a big yellow shrimp in one bite.

Tang Xiaopao looked around the cab and felt that this boat was really awesome: "It's actually equipped with two TV sets. Brother, how much money can we make to afford this boat?"

Tang Weiquan nodded: "Director Li is the only one in Shangfeng Town who has this kind of boat."

Tang Weiquan reached into his pocket and was about to take out a cigarette to smoke, but found that the cigarettes and matches in his pocket had long since disappeared.

Tang Weiquan sighed. Rather than saying that there were more good people, it would be better to say that the two of them were lucky enough to meet a group of good people like Li Duoyu.

"Maybe."

Tang Weiquan looked at the giant yellow shrimps on the sticky net and couldn't help but feel envious. Each giant shrimp was as big as a palm.

 The two brothers also discovered by accident that in certain seasons, there would be a lot of prawns here.

The two of them planned to make a fortune from these shrimps. After they caught the shrimps, they did not dare to go back to the village to sell them, nor did they dare to go to Qingkou Wharf to sell them.

 Instead, they directly ship it to Rongcheng Wharf and sell it. These days, they have made five or six hundred yuan just from catching shrimps.

 A few days ago, several hundred meters of their fishing nets were stolen and they didn’t dare to say anything about it, just because they were afraid that everyone would know that they were fishing for shrimps here.

 I didn’t think so, it was too greedy.

 Even with such bad weather, I still take chances.

I have always heard people from the previous generation say how dangerous it is to go to sea. You should be in awe of the sea and you must be pious when worshiping Mazu.

Tang Weiquan always smiled, but after this incident, they finally understood why the older generation said that when they see a bald wave, no matter how good the harvest is, they have to leave immediately.

After the two brothers warmed up, they went to the deck to help: "Director Li, we are here to help you."

Li Duoyu replied: "No, you can rest for a while and don't catch a cold."

“It’s okay, do some work and sweat a little, it will make it easier to expel moisture.”

There was thunder in the sky.

 But the thunder has become distant.

The heavy rain and strong wind lasted only for a while, and now there is almost no rain in the sea near Qixing Bay.

With five people helping out, the efficiency would be much higher. When daybreak, the morning glow actually appeared in the east.

The crimson glow reflected the sea surface, and at this time, everyone had just finished collecting the last ground cage.

 The live fish bin of the fishing boat was full of sea shrimps, which were conservatively estimated to weigh 70 to 80 kilograms.

If you take these shrimps to Rongcheng and sell them, you can get them back in exchange for at least 30 large unity cards. There will be no problem.

"Thank you for your hard work." When leaving Qixing Bay, Li Duoyu once again took the Tang brothers to the place where the shipwreck occurred and waited for them to get there.

Nothing can be seen on the sea, but the fish finder’s display can tell that there is a sunken ship below the fishing boat.

The water here is not deep. If Xiaochao dives down with the rope, he can pull up the sampan with the power of the fishing boat.

 But right now, these live shrimps are more important. Li Duoyu sent the Tang brothers to the dock in Shangqi Village and immediately sailed back to Dandan Island.

 Watching the white fishing boat leave, an old fisherman at the pier of Shangqi Village couldn't help but ask:

“When did you get in touch with Director Li from Xiasha Village on Dandan Island, and he actually sent you back in person?”

"No. Didn't you two brothers go out on a boat? How could you come back on someone else's boat?"

Tang Weiquan looked helpless:

"I had an accident at sea and was rescued by someone. By the way, Uncle Zhang, help me contact a big boat and find someone who can dive to help me fish out the boat."

Hearing what he said, the old fisherman immediately understood and knew what happened to the two brothers.

"It seems you are lucky. I can help you contact them. However, the price charged by the water ghost is relatively high, so you must be mentally prepared."

 “Of course we know this.”

 Less than an hour.

When Li Duoyu's fishing boat returned to Dandan Island, all the nearby fishermen came to the pier to see if he had caught any prawns.

Lao Lu, who was arranging the fishing nets at the dock, said: "Three cobblers are more powerful than Zhuge Liang. So many of us haven't caught it. No matter how good Li Duoyu is, he can't catch it."

Old man Mi chuckled and said:

 “How about we make a bet.”

When Lao Lu heard this, he immediately became energetic and started smoking a cigarette: "You believe so much in the abundance of fish, how can you bet? He is indeed very good at breeding, but he is still not good at fishing. point."

Lao Mi said: "Then let's bet five yuan. If you catch more than ten kilograms of shrimps, will I win?"

 “Okay, but I don’t believe it.”

The Zhao brothers also followed suit and said, "We also bet five yuan that Brother Yu can catch at least ten kilograms of prawns."

Liu Yun smiled and said: "I bet ten yuan, Brother Yu, that I can catch at least twenty kilograms."

Lao Lu blew his beard and stared at the group of people: "Have you been fed ecstasy soup by Li Duoyu, or are you still practicing personality worship? We can't catch prawns, so why can we catch so many fish? "

 When Li Duoyu's fishing boat docked at the dock, everyone found that there seemed to be only two baskets of sea bass on his boat.

Lao Lu couldn’t help but laugh and said:

“I want you to bet with me. Each of you will take five yuan. The man named Liu will give me ten yuan. Remember.”

The fishmonger Lao Mi smiled and said:

“Lao Lu, believe me, you lost this time. Go home and get the money. You can catch so many sea bass this season. In other words, there are 100% chance that many fish will find shrimp nests.”

Hearing this, Lao Lu instantly became nervous. Lao Mi was indeed right. Finding a bass nest this season is equivalent to finding a shrimp nest.

 Lao Mi shouted to Li Duoyu on the boat: "How many shrimps have been caught this time?"

 Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It's okay, not a lot."

“By the way, whoever’s barrels are not in use? Hurry up and lend me a few to hold the shrimps in.”

 Lao Mi smiled and said, "I have to borrow a bucket to pack shrimps. That's not much."

Li Duoyu opened the live fish cabin, carefully picked up the live shrimps, and put them into a wooden barrel filled with sea water.

 A fishing net.

 Two fishing nets.

 Three fishing nets.

The fishermen on the shore were all stunned. Several fishermen couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, where did you catch so many shrimps?"

Li Duoyu smiled: "I'll take care of things first, and I'll tell you later."

 “Let’s make money together if we have money.”

At this moment, Lao Lu's face was burning. How much money would he lose this time? At least six people had bet with him just now.

He was about to sneak away when the Zhao brothers stopped him on the spot and said with a smile: "Old Lu, where do you want to go?"

Lao Lu smiled awkwardly: "I caught so many shrimps with so many fishes. I will go home and bring him a few wooden barrels so that he can put the shrimps."

Zhao Dahai smiled kindly and said:

“Remember, we lost five yuan in a bet.”

 Lao Lu coughed twice:

"I say this as if I am the kind of person who knows how to cheat. It's not just five yuan. I will give it to you as soon as I make the money."

“Damn it, it’s like you have no money now. Can you make some progress? You are still a householder worth ten thousand yuan.”

Lao Lu said with a dark face: "The ten thousand yuan household is all empty. The money is all in my Yanyan's house. If you have the ability, you can take it from her."

The Zhao brothers' mouths twitched when they thought of Yanyan. They heard that she seemed to be unhappy recently. When they thought of this, they couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yuansheng who was holding dogtail grass in his mouth at the door of Lao Lu's house, and couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. Thumb: "What a cruel person."

Li Duoyu transported the shrimps to the eel factory, and then selected more than 80 kilograms of shrimps. In the end, he only selected more than 100 broodstock shrimps.

If Li Duoyu was a professional fisherman, he would definitely not take them and tell them such a good shrimp fishing spot.

 But at the moment, broodstock cultivation is the most important. Even if he catches it alone, no matter how good his technique is, the amount of shrimp he can catch is limited.

 The lifespan of Penaeus chinensis is only about one year. The female shrimp will die directly after laying eggs.

  If enough broodstock for breeding are not caught before April, there is a high probability that there will be no chance of shrimp farming this year.

 Besides, Li Duoyu still has many things to be busy with, and he can’t spare any time to catch shrimps.

Li Duoyu thought for a while and broadcast directly: "Important notice, important notice. There are people in the village who plan to catch shrimps and have fishing boats. Gather at the dock in the evening. I will take everyone to catch shrimps."

 After hearing this broadcast, the fishermen with boats in the village instantly became enthusiastic.

 “It’s better to have more fish.”

“Director Li, you are such a good person.”

“I’m really going to make a fortune now, Lizhu, hurry up and sort out the net.”

The fishermen in Chenjia Village also heard the news, and someone immediately went back to tell the fishermen in their village who had boats.

Around evening, Li Duoyu himself was stunned. Almost all the fishing boats on the island were waiting for him at the pier, including Liu Yun's shrimp boat.

 There were more than forty boats, each with lanterns hung on them, and every fisherman had a smile on his face.

 “Let’s go, keep up.”

Li Duoyu’s fishing boat was at the front, and several unpowered sculling sampans were pulled behind with hemp ropes.

Liu Yun and Lao Lu also pulled several fishing boats. As night fell, these fishing boats all lit up lanterns.

If you stand at Thean Hou Temple and look out, you can see the fleet heading towards Qixing Bay.

Since almost all the people with boats on the island have gone out to sea tonight, the incense in Thean Hou Temple is particularly strong, and they are all people carrying sacred baskets to worship.

Li Duoyu is the captain of this fishing operation. According to the unwritten rules of Xiasha Village, the captain enjoys 10% of the profits from all fish caught.

There is a fishing boat fishing for shrimps in Qixing Bay. It was the same fishing boat that left early last night due to strong wind and waves.

 After seeing the fleet coming.

He was frightened on the spot and cursed with a dark face: "Isn't it good to make a fortune in silence? Call so many ships over." (End of this chapter)
