Chapter 40
"Okay, let me get on the boat and chat with you. I haven't seen you for a long time. We were drinking together a few days ago and we talked about you! I didn't expect to meet you at sea today. Wait a moment, I'll tell you The old guys on those two boats.”
Chen Hong saw Uncle Lu shouting and gesturing at the other two boats. After a while, the three boats slowly approached Chen Hong's boat. When they reached a safe distance, they set up a long plank and boarded Chen Hong's fishing boat. .
Chen Hong has prepared a small square table and a few small horses in advance. There are also teacups and teapots on the boat. There is boiling water in the thermos. The tea leaves are picked from the mountains.When everyone got on the boat, Chen Hong found that they all knew each other. One of them was Uncle Yang's neighbor, and the other was Uncle Li's cousin.After they got on the boat, everyone on the boat drove around to look for fishing spots.The three uncles sat on the horses prepared by Chen Hong and took the teacups handed to them by Chen Hong.We drank some tea and chatted together: "My dear, your boat is really clean and tidy. It seems that you women are more powerful. You can do everything neatly wherever you go." Uncle Lu came up and praised him first.
Uncle Yang stood up and looked at the fish cabin and said, "Oh my God, you two come over quickly and take a look. Chen Hong is about to be out of stock. How long have you been fishing? How did you catch so many fish?"
Lao Lu and his cousin both crowded over and stretched out their heads to take a look: "Oh my dear, you caught all these? The three of us together can't catch as many fish as you! Except for these 3 boxes of Spanish mackerel , you are all big live fish, why don’t you have any small miscellaneous fish?”
Chen Hong said with a smile: "I released all the fish that were too small and made bait for the miscellaneous fish. Only these better fish are left."
All three people said: "This is incomparable. Only three people on my boat caught more than 100 kilograms of fish. I still think the harvest today is good. Compared with you, our three boats tied together can't compare." I’m going to fuck you alone!”
Lao Lu even shamelessly asked Chen Hong: "Daughter, do you have any tricks? Can you tell uncle?"
"I don't have any special skills. What makes me different from others is that I am more willing to spend money on equipment than others. I have two electric winches and two sea fishing rods on my boat. I also bought a hand-thrown rod for almost 2000 yuan. Money is a good thing. Besides, I can sail far away and don’t like to hang out with people."
After listening to Chen Hong's words, he looked at Chen Hong's fishing rod again.The three of them looked at each other, and Lao Lu said: "My two sets of fishing rods only cost more than 1000 yuan. One of them broke last time. Your aunt nagged me for a day before she bought me a new one." . I think the new one is of inferior quality and costs no more than 500 yuan. Your aunt is still very distressed. This fishing rod of yours looks easy to use. How much did you spend on this one?"
Chen Hong glanced at the fishing rod in Lao Lu's hand: "Uncle, you have really good taste. The one in your hand is the best on my boat. The carbon rod costs 4000 and the electric winch costs more than 3000. One set is not The fishing line and hook cost more than 7000 yuan. The set in Uncle Li's hand is cheaper. The fishing rod and electric winch cost about 5000 yuan in total. The cheapest one is the hand-throwing rod used by Uncle Yang, which is a fishing rod and a spinning wheel. Less than 3000 yuan.”
After listening to Chen Hong's words, Lao Lu trembled with fright and quickly grabbed the fishing rod tightly, fearing that he would fall into the sea if his hand was loosened. "Your three fishing rods cost 15000 yuan. This is too expensive. Don't tell me." Your aunt, even I can’t bear to spend so much money to buy it!”
As he was talking, Uncle Yang stabbed the fish with his fishing rod, and a fish took the bait. The old fisherman's fishing skills were absolutely amazing. It took him seven or eight minutes to catch a blue grouper weighing more than 8 pounds.Lao Lu and his cousin surrounded him, watching him fight with the fish below. Only when the grouper emerged from the water did Lao Lu hand the fishing rod to Chen Hong, pick up the fishing net and help lift the fish onto the deck.
Looking at this big grouper, the three uncles were very excited and said: "It's great that we can catch a big fish after chatting all day. This fish costs more than 300 yuan. If we can catch five or six fish in a day, it's great." It’s very profitable, I haven’t caught such good fish in more than half a month.”
But Lao Yang touched the fishing rod and said excitedly: "I will buy a fishing rod like this when I go back. It is much easier to use than my rod. It is difficult to catch this fish with my rod. Grouper The fish is so powerful, this fishing rod is so easy to catch. Chen Hong, where did you buy it? Send me the address. It’s too expensive and I can’t afford it. It’s okay to just bite the bullet for 3000 yuan. It’s a big deal. I haven’t drank for half a year, so I saved my drinking money to buy fishing rods.”
Uncle Li also stepped forward to take the rod and give it a try: "It feels very good, this is also a carbon rod, right?" As he said this, he took a few sea silkworms from the bucket and hung them on the fish hooks. He then swung the hooks into the sea gracefully and adjusted the fish. The length of the line in the water: "Chen Hong, how many meters below are there fish?" "Uncle Li, I always put the line out to 20 or [-] meters. No matter how long it is, it will easily hang on the bottom. There is a big ditch below. The water depth in front of you is [-] meters. more."
While talking, the fishing line had already dropped to 18 meters. It was the first time for Uncle Li to fish at this fishing spot. He felt unsure. To be on the safe side, he shook the spinning wheel and retrieved another meter of fishing line.As soon as I locked and released my force, the fishing rod in my hand started to move.As soon as Uncle Li paused for a moment, he immediately raised his rod to stab the fish, and he knew he had hit the fish just by the feel of his hand.While circling the fish on the bottom of the sea, he said to everyone: "It doesn't feel right. It seems to be a grouper or a bass. It weighs a lot. It must be about 20 pounds. It seems to be a big fish. Come and help me." "
Uncle Li shook the spinning wheel vigorously, pausing occasionally. When he was struggling for the next round, he jerked the rod to interrupt the rhythm. It took 5 minutes to retrieve the 2-meter fishing line.Finally, after several rounds of retracting and retracting, the fish underwater struggled less violently, and Uncle Li began to reel in the line.He put the fishing rod on his belly, held the rod in his left hand, and struggled to shake the spinning wheel with his right hand.Seeing his veins popping up and his head sweating profusely, Lao Lu, who was waiting beside him, quickly took the fishing rod and replaced him.
As soon as he started to reel in the line, Lao Lu said: "No, there are at least two fish in this rod. The way they break free is like grouper and bass. They don't use their strength in one place, otherwise it will be more difficult to pull it."
Chen Hong secretly looked under the water: there was really a grouper, a bass, and a mullet weighing one pound.It goes without saying that veteran fishermen have decades of experience. Once you get started, you can tell what kind of fish it is just by the strength and direction of its struggling swimming.But I cheated and saw the fish directly because of my good eyesight. If the light was not good at night, my eyesight would be useless. The old fisherman was still so good that even with my eyes closed, it would not hinder others from fishing.
As everyone cheered and cheered, a string of fish was pulled out of the water in a while. Uncle Li took the net and copied it, and the net was full of fish and was copied to the deck.
"I'm impressed by Lao Lu's ability. It's really grouper, bass, and a small mullet. Is there a school of fish down here? Most fish don't open their mouths at noon?" Lao Yang said happily.
Lao Lu put down his fishing rod and looked at Chen Hong's live bait bucket. It was also ordinary live baits such as sea silkworms, sea shrimps and small squids. It should not be the reason for the fish bait.However, catching many hooks quickly cannot be achieved by using a fishing rod. The fishing rod is indeed easy to use, flexible and sensitive, and it is not afraid of being pulled hard to explode. It is probably because Chen Hong is lucky.This is the only reason, otherwise there is no way to explain it. It has only been ten minutes since the three of them got on the boat. One fishing rod has caught 4 fish, which is enough for 30 kilograms. This is too fast and too much, which is shocking. I never dreamed of it, but it happened in front of the three of them.
Chen Hong put away the fishing rod and sat down to drink tea with the three uncles.I refilled their glasses one by one and chatted about the interesting things that happened during this period.Lao Lu said that his village has learned to be flexible since them, and several people have found someone to take the exam on their behalf to obtain the captain's certificate.Now the fishing boats in their village are also being counted and registered. If you don’t count, you won’t know. In their village alone, 8 expired fishing boats have been scrapped.Ordinary people save whatever they can. As long as the boat can still move and doesn't leak, they dare to go out to sea.Now the state has forced the scrapping of expired fishing boats. At first, the villagers were unwilling and couldn't figure it out.
Through government propaganda and education, we have all figured out that there is nothing trivial in maritime operations. There are as few as three or four people on a fishing boat, and as many as a dozen people. If something happens at sea due to the quality of the boat, no one can explain it.The country can provide partial subsidies for scrapped ships. If you bite the bullet and add some, you can buy a new ship, and your family can rest assured when you go to sea.Even if I no longer buy a boat, I can still use the compensation money to do some small business, and my family will be more worried than before when I sailed out on a broken ship.
After talking about national policies, several people then talked about the current fish price. It is still the fishing moratorium. There are few fishing boats and the price of fish is very high. When the fishing moratorium comes in more than half a month, the price will definitely drop a lot.However, net fishing can be used after the fishing moratorium, and extended fishing can also be used. Although the price is lower, the quantity is larger, and the income is not much different from now, and may even increase.Chen Hong asked Uncle Lu: "Uncle, do you sell your fish to fishmongers or retail it yourself? Are there any good channels?"
Lao Lu said: "The price offered by the fishmonger is too low. It is almost 10 yuan per catty lower than the market price. My family does not catch much fish every day, only one or two hundred catties of fish per day. Most of the family members are If you go to the market and sell retail in the bazaar, you can earn more than 1000 yuan more. If you give it to a fishmonger, you can sell it for 3000 yuan or 2000 yuan. After the gas money and fishing gear loss, there is less than 700 yuan left for the food on board. , the three people on my boat can make an average of [-] yuan per hand, which is not as much as what other fishmongers earn."
Uncle Li then said: "I sell it myself, but most of it is sent to the restaurant. My classmate's family has opened a restaurant in the city. He picks the good fish first and the price is good. He picks the rest for me." Take it to the market and sell it for retail. Sometimes if you can’t sell it, you can make it into dried fish and sell it, which is more cost-effective than selling it to a fishmonger.”
Lao Yang said with a smile: "This saves me a lot of trouble. Doesn't my third brother-in-law own an aquatic product shop? Basically, I sell all my catch to him, and the price is pretty good, six or seven yuan more than the fishmonger. The retail price is three or four yuan less, but it saves trouble and worry. If you catch a lot of fish, you can call him and ask him to drive to pick it up. If the quantity is small, you have to deliver it yourself. Chen Hong, he wants a large quantity, if you have fish to sell Give it to him and I’ll leave you a contact number. He sells it immediately. Now his store is quite large and he even built a cold storage this year. No matter how much fish he has, he can still eat it.”
Chen Hong saw Uncle Lu shouting and gesturing at the other two boats. After a while, the three boats slowly approached Chen Hong's boat. When they reached a safe distance, they set up a long plank and boarded Chen Hong's fishing boat. .

All three people said: "This is incomparable. Only three people on my boat caught more than 100 kilograms of fish. I still think the harvest today is good. Compared with you, our three boats tied together can't compare." I’m going to fuck you alone!”
