1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 380

After determining the fishing direction.

Uncle San's trawler shouted: “No one should be standing at the stern, get ready to lower the net.”

The trawler moved forward slowly.

The second uncle and the eldest uncle threw the net bag into the sea. After more than a month of running-in, the third uncle and the eldest uncle summed up a new method of releasing the net.

That is, one of the boats will release the trawl net, and then the other trawl boat will come closer, throw a rope with a live buckle, and pull the other end of the trawl net to their boat.

This method of launching the net will be safer than the one they used before, and they will not be afraid when the waves are big.

After placing the trawl net.

The two boats moved towards Li Duoyu's fishing boat at a speed of almost five knots per hour.

While moving forward, Li Duoyu kept staring at the fish finder, and every once in a while, he said:

　　【Minrong 031, the front is safe, there are no reefs, so you can drive with confidence. 】

【Minrong 031, received. 】

The fishing boat sailed forward like this for about two hours, and by this time, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.

“It's so late, why don't you cook? Do you want me to cook something for you?”

"No, Uncle Zhuang will be in charge of cooking. Just stay on this boat and don't go to that boat. There are many rules at sea. If something goes wrong, it may not be clear."

"All right."

As the winch rotates, the trawl net is slowly collected, and all crew members are in full readiness, waiting for the net package to surface.

Although the net bag is very large, even bigger than the jellyfish in the previous net, the crabs are not heavy. Normally they are about five or six taels, and swimming crabs of one kilogram are rarely seen.

As the net bag was opened, mountains of swimming crabs poured down. In addition to swimming crabs, there were also many Pipi shrimps.

“It's terrifying.”

“How many crabs are there in this net? It should weigh two to three thousand kilograms. It's really shocking.”

As soon as Chen Liang finished saying this, his father Chen Youquan knocked him on the head: "How many times have I told you, don't talk nonsense at sea."

Chen Liang touched his head in pain.

“Dad, can you please stop hitting me on the head? It really hurts.”

Zhou Xiaoying, who was lying on the window with half of her head peeking out, was also very shocked.

“Too fish, can you catch so many swimming crabs every time you go out to sea?”

Li Duoyu touched her head.

"How is it possible? The trawler of uncle and third uncle can catch so many swimming crabs. It's all thanks to your husband, okay? If it weren't for me, it would be good if they could catch half of them."

Zhou Xiaoying said with disdain: "It's obviously the fish finder, and it also has the credit of sonar."

“Tell me, who owns the fish finder?”

Zhou Xiaoying pursed her lips: "Forget it, you are such a gangster, I can't talk to you."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "There are so many swimming crabs, I may have to go over and help. You stay in the cab and don't run around. If you fall into the sea, I won't be able to find you."

Zhou Xiaoying hummed: "I know, I'm not a three-year-old child."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned. She was obviously a few months older than him, but Li Duoyu had become very mature in the past two years and treated her like a little girl at every turn.

Zhou Xiaoying murmured: "Those who were still wetting the bed in the third or fourth grade of elementary school were still wearing childish afros two years ago."

Li Duoyu took a rope and tied the two boats together. He pulled the rope hard and the boats came close to each other.

Shortly afterwards, he and Li Shuguang jumped directly onto the third uncle's trawler.

Actually, jumping off a ship is quite dangerous, as the decks of many ships are quite slippery.

If you don't jump well, you can easily fall into the gap between the two boats, which is quite dangerous, but the fishermen seem to have been used to it for a long time, and often jump back and forth between the boats and the pier.

Especially the fishmongers, their jumping skills are even more powerful. The fishmongers often jump on board before the ship even reaches the shore.

On the trawler, Chen Liang caught a swimming crab and squeezed its legs.

“Let me go, this male crab is pretty good, it's so fat, I'm sure it will fetch a good price.”

The second uncle said: "You have to tell me, if the crabs are not fat at this time, why would we come out at this time?"

Chen Liang asked doubtfully: "Do swimming crabs depend on the season?"

“August and September are the seasons for swimming crabs to have sex, and before that, male crabs usually eat themselves very fat so that they won't lose in a fight. Male crabs at this time are the most delicious.”

“What about the female crab?”

“The female crabs at this time are not bad either. They have completed the final shedding and are ready for intercourse. However, there is less cream at this time. People generally call them girl crabs or virgin crabs.”

"When will the female crab get the cream?" "It will be around the tenth month of the lunar calendar. At that time, the female crab will swim to the offshore sea and fatten itself. At this time, the cream will be the most."

“Well, no wonder we can pick up swimming crabs on the beach in October.”

The second uncle said with a hint of disgust: "I don't even understand this. I wonder if you grew up by the sea."

Chen Liang scratched his head and glanced at Li Duoyu not far away. He used to be a street kid like Li Duoyu and was working hard. The knowledge of a fisherman was almost zero.

The swimming crabs were all over the deck, and my uncle swept them back with a bamboo broom.

Immediately afterwards, the old fishermen moved small benches one after another, holding a swimming crab in one hand and a piece of reed grass in the other. They **** a swimming crab in less than five seconds, and then threw it into a large bamboo basket on the side.

They don't need to wear gloves to catch this thing, and they catch it accurately, as if the swimming crabs won't bite them.

Seeing how easily they caught it, Chen Liang thought the swimming crabs had lost their vitality, but as soon as he reached out to catch them, they were pinched and screamed.

Feeling the pain, he quickly took out his gloves and put them on.

The second uncle smiled and said: "You can't make progress if you wear gloves. You can go slower, but it's okay, but don't wear gloves."

Chen Liang said with a bitter look on his face:

“It really hurts when pinched.”

“That's how we came here in the beginning.”

Chen Youquan on the side saw his son put on gloves: "Take off the gloves, tying crabs is the most basic. If you don't even know how to do this, how can you get along on the boat in the future?"

Chen Liang whispered: "How many years have you been fishing? I've only been on the boat for a few months, okay? I don't believe Brother Yu."

Chen Youquan said disgustedly: "See for yourself."

Chen Liang looked at Li Duoyu, thinking that he would definitely not be able to tie swimming crabs, but he didn't expect that Li Duoyu seemed to be better than everyone else.

The swimming crab was like a toy in his hands, and he **** a swimming crab in less than three seconds.

Chen Liang's head is filled with questions.

“What a **** monster, why can you even do this?”

Chen Youquan said disgustedly: "You are the only one who can't handle the whole ship."

"impossible."

Chen Liang looked at the black dog beside him, and his jaw almost dropped in shock. Although the black dog was a bit stupid, he seemed to be able to tie it up.

“Black Dog, when did you learn this?”

Black Dog grinned and said, "I already know how to do this. My family has a small boat and we occasionally go out to sea to catch swimming crabs. My dad asked me to help tie the crabs."

Chen Youquan hummed: "Black dogs have received a salary increase. Now it's four yuan a day."

Chen Liang's mouth twitched, and his forehead was covered with black lines. He was the only one on the ship who couldn't tie swimming crabs, and his salary was also the lowest.

　　"You guys, why don't you just tie crabs? I can do it too."

Chen Liang tied it up with all his strength, but as soon as he started, he was pinched again, and the pain made him drop the crab to the ground.

The crab claws were broken directly.

Chen Youquan said with a dark face: "If you don't know how to tie it up, just slow down. Just like a black dog, put it on the deck and tie it up slowly."

At this time, Li Zhengfa, the boss of the boat, came out, picked up the little crab that Chen Liang had just tied, and shouted: "If it is as small as this, just throw it into the sea, and throw all the ones with babies back into the sea."

Chen Liang was quite embarrassed. In fact, he wanted to say, you can make fun of me, but you can just untie the crab and throw it into the sea.

Everyone **** swimming crabs together for more than an hour, and then they finished tying all the swimming crabs on the deck, which amounted to thirty baskets.

But this net of swimming crabs cannot fill the fishing boat.

The three boat bosses had a brief discussion and decided to drag another net.

The fishing boat changed its direction, and it was still in the same sea area just now, separated by about 500 meters, and it was towed back directly.

　Since the task of tying swimming crabs has to be completed tonight, everyone doesn't have dinner until 9 pm.

“Brother Yu, why don't you eat on the boat? Let's have a drink together.”

“I have something to do. Let's go back to the fishing boat to eat.”

“Why are you so anxious? Just teach me how to tie that crab.”

"Next time."

By the time Li Duoyu arrived at the fishing boat's cab and turned on the ship's lights, Zhou Xiaoying was already leaning against the corner of the cab with a copy of "Hamlet" beside him.

Li Duoyu gently shook her awake.

“Xiaoying, it's time for dinner.” (End of chapter)
