Chapter 260 258. Ship (1)
Jumping into the water, he put a saddle on the tiger, and then rode away on the saddle through the wind and waves.
A group of people on the boat looked at each other with admiration: "Dragon Head Niubi, you are not afraid of the cold today?"
"Long Tou has practiced qigong!"
Some distance away from the fishing boat, Ao Muyang was about to direct the tiger to dive, but something jumped out of the sea and hit his legs and body.
He patted it casually and caught a few small shrimps in his hand.
The largest of the shrimps is only two centimeters in length, and most are not even one centimeter long. Their bodies are colorless and almost transparent, but if you look closely, there are faint stripes on the shell.
Ao Muyang was stunned: "Mao shrimp?"
He quickly jumped into the water and looked around, and then, a huge group of people appeared in his field of vision!
Shrimp, shrimp, shrimp!
Countless shrimps were swimming fast in the sea. They were in groups and in large numbers, and their groups were so endless that Ao Muyang had the illusion that the entire ocean was filled with shrimps!
At this time, the sea area he was in was quite deep, and there were relatively few shrimps on the surface. At more than 30 meters underwater, the shrimp swarms were densely packed, and they were all densely packed with shrimps!
This is a shrimp, a small shrimp that does not grow very large, and a very famous catch.
No wonder the fish finder can't see the fish. The shrimps are too small. Even if there are many, the fish finder can't turn their traces into signals and reflect them on the machine.
Seeing these hairy shrimps, Ao Muyang understood that the tiger had discovered them and not the hairtails. Those hairtails were unlucky enough to be caught in the fishing nets and hunted down rabbits.
Hairtail shrimps are food for many fish in the ocean. Hairtails like to eat hairtail shrimps very much. The schools of hairtails they caught were obviously chasing the hairtail shrimps for food.
He surfaced and waited until the fishing boat came over. After getting on the boat, he shouted: "Change the dense mesh and sticky net!"
Ao Wenchang was shocked: "Dense eye sticky net? This thing is more ruthless than Juehu net!"
However, Ao Daguo reacted. He pinched the small shrimp he found among the hairtail fish and said, "There are shrimps under the water!"
Ao Muyang nodded: "Yes, shrimps, let's go down the net to catch some shrimps, small mosquitoes are also meat!"
Hairy shrimps are very small shrimps. They have thin skin, little meat, and are easily perishable. Fresh shrimps cannot be stored for a long time and are rarely sold fresh.
But apart from this shortcoming, this shrimp has many other advantages.
Common shrimp skins on the market are made from hairy shrimps. Fresh shrimps can be brought home and dried directly, or cooked and then dried in the sun, so that shrimp skins can be obtained easily.
Relatively speaking, some shrimps are large and have fat meat. After being cooked and dried in the sun, the shrimp meat is peeled off, which is small shrimps.
In addition, shrimp paste can be made by mashing the shrimp, adding salt, exposing it to the sun and fermenting it.
Then soak it with salt and filter out the juice of the fermented product, which is shrimp oil. It can be used for seasoning or pickling various side dishes, giving it a unique flavor!
For fishermen, shrimps are also a good catch because they are small in size but plentiful in quantity. There are often a lot of shrimps in a cluster. A small amount makes a lot, and the sand forms a tower. You can make a lot of money by catching a few nets.
A dense-mesh trawl net with extremely fine mesh is put into the water, and then towed for a while before the fishing net is retrieved. There are mountains of hairy shrimps inside!
Crabs were eaten raw and shrimps were eaten alive. When the shrimps fell, the group of people cheered and went up and each pinched some and stuffed them into their mouths.
Ao Qianwen said excitedly: "Xian, this tastes delicious!"
Encountering a swarm of hairy shrimps, this trip to the sea will be worthwhile, and you will definitely make money.
The number of shrimps is very large and the output is very high. The world's annual output has been maintained at more than 200,000 tons. Among them, China's shrimp production is the largest. At its peak in the 1990s, China alone could catch nearly 100,000 tons of shrimps a year. 200,000 tons!
The shrimp fishing season usually occurs twice a year. One is from March to July, which is called the spring flood. At this time, the shrimps are the fattest. The other one is from September to November, which is the autumn flood. This time they are catching up with the tail end of the autumn flood. .
At the end of the day, they were chasing shrimps. The cabin was full of shrimps. They would process them later and it would be money.
It was inconvenient to sail at night, so they arrived at a sea area with quite complicated bottom terrain, and then found a shallower place, where Ao Daguo anchored and stopped the ship.
Ao Mudong pestered Ao Muyang and said, "Faucet, can you turn on the water cannon and take a look?"
Ao Muyang also wanted to take a look, but the water cannon was worth money once it was turned on: "Brother Dong, this water cannon consumes too much electricity. We don't have much diesel on the ship. We'd better save some and wait until we encounter danger." Fire up the water cannon, okay?"
After hearing what he said, Ao Mudong had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
Dinner is instant noodles, which is a common food on sea voyages. Instant noodles are high in calories and fragrant. They are hot when eaten and make people feel very comfortable.
After cooking a pot of instant noodles, Ao Muyang took out the boiled tea eggs again and said, "There are sausages I steamed in the pot. With these tea eggs, it should be good, right?"
Ao Qianwen laughed and said: "It's not bad, it's very good."
After eating, everyone washed their dishes. Except for the person on duty, everyone went back to the cabin to sleep. Each person had a bed. After eating, his stomach was warm and the bed was warm and comfortable with an electric blanket. Clothes.
Ao Muyang was sleeping with the general and the head of state in his arms, when he suddenly heard an exclamation in the middle of the night.
The general immediately stood up, and Ao Muyang also woke up.
Others are still sleeping soundly. To be a fisherman, you must have this ability and have good sleep quality, because sleeping on a boat is very uncomfortable and the boat is always rippling. If the sleep quality is not good, you cannot live at sea.
Ao Muyang went out and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ao Mupeng almost rolled up to him and rushed to him. Under the dim light, his pale face could be seen: "Dragon head, that, that, that, ghost ship!"
He stumbled as he spoke and stretched out his trembling arms to point south.
Ao Muyang looked south and saw a large, dark ship rippling with the waves on the sea in the distance.
At some point, the sky became gloomy. The moon, which was still bright at night, disappeared, the bright stars disappeared, and the sea became gloomy.
Ao Qianwen came later. He went to sea many times and encountered many things.
Seeing Ao Muyang, he said: "Longtou, where are the incense ashes in the temple? Hurry and scatter them into the sea. This is a ghost ship!"
The story of ghost ship has always been a frequent visitor in suspense films, TV series and novels. As a child by the sea, Ao Muyang grew up hearing such stories.
However, he has never encountered a ghost ship, and the old water ghosts who have been walking on the sea for many years have rarely encountered a ghost ship. The stories are all based on rumors.
Ao Muyang has always believed that ghost ship stories are false. He is a person who has received modern education. Ghost ships cannot exist!
So after seeing the dark and swooping ship, he did not panic, but said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Ao Mupeng, however, believed these stories firmly: "Just now, I went to the bow of the boat to pee. Dragon head, really, let me tell you, when I went to pee, there was absolutely no boat! There was no boat there, and there were no boats around! "
"I was peeing, and the water made a splashing sound. I didn't think much about it, but when I finished peeing, I looked back and saw that the ghost ship came out! It was definitely a ghost ship! When I saw it, it wasn't like this. It’s still coming out of the water!”
