Chapter 123 Helping People Catch Big Fish at the Dock

After reading the telegram.

Li Duoyu saw Zhou Xiaoying's curious look and said to her, "I want to buy kelp."

"real."

Zhou Xiaoying's face was full of smiles. After knowing that there was still a lot of kelp in the warehouse, she was still a little worried that she might not be able to sell it.

Li Duoyu nodded.

"Why am I lying to you? Your husband's kelp is so popular. Others are rushing to get it, but I'm not willing to give it to you."

"Just blow it."

After Li Duoyu finished dinner.

From the drawer, he took out a business card, then an envelope and letter paper, and then used his wife's Hero pen.

Simply wrote a letter.

The general idea is: the price is OK. After receiving the letter, you can come to the island to pick up the goods. I will wait for you near the dock these days.

After finishing writing, Li Duoyu stuffed the letter into an envelope, sealed it with rice paste, and affixed a two-cent local scenery stamp.

Then go to the pier and put the letter into the dark green mailbox.

In this era, if everyone wants to communicate, they can only communicate through letters. There are still quite a lot of letters coming in and out of the island every day.

However, since there is a passenger ship, the postman on the island usually comes to collect the letters in the morning and then delivers them to the town.

If you only send it to Rongcheng, you should receive the letter in about two or three days.

After sending the letter.

Li Duoyu was in a good mood, so he sat on the dock and smoked a cigarette.

Speaking of which, he finally quit smoking in his previous life, but he lit up again without thinking of being with these old smokers.

The cigarettes of this era are full of flavor.

Very top.

And while he was smoking, he discovered that someone was fishing with a flashlight on the other side of the pier.

Then I walked over to take a look.

Li Duoyu remembers that fishing guys on the beach were still relatively rare in this era.

The key is that the quality of the fishing gear and rods is not good. Let alone carbon fiber, there is no fiberglass, and most of them are bamboo rods.

Fishing for hairtail, squid, and some small fish is okay, but you really need to catch a sea wolf fish weighing ten to twenty pounds, or a grouper that likes to drill holes.

Exploding the rod and cutting the line is inevitable.

The most fundamental reason that restricted the sea fishing industry at that time was fishing lines and hooks.

Fishing lines that no one can choose in future generations are simply a luxury for fishermen, and domestically produced transparent fishing lines have very poor pulling power.

Don't even think about catching big fish. If you exert your strength, the rod will explode and the line will break.

If you use the kind of silver fishhook with a circle, it will be more negative and there will always be a link where you can go wrong.

Fortunately, Dandan Island came into contact with the "outside world" early, and there were more "things" that could be exchanged, such as his bundle of longline fishing gear.

From the line to the hook, everything was "imported" from the island country, which was also the fundamental reason why he was able to catch that big bass in the first place.

Therefore, these days, most fishermen with boats fish with ropes, and those who have the conditions directly hook up.

After all, fishermen make a living by fishing and don't really enjoy the fun of fishing. Most of them are ruthless fishing machines.

After getting closer.

The person who discovered the fisher was Xiao Jin, the eldest son of the village butcher, who was the same age as his cousin Qing Guang.

The fishing rod in his hand is quite delicate. It is made of Guizhu. The entire fishing rod has turned yellow and is coated with pulp. It seems that it has been maintained.

It's about five meters long, and I also made my own fishing reel and line set.

When Xiao Jin saw Li Duoyu coming over, his face was full of smiles.

"Brother Yu, you are also at the dock."

The recent sales of kelp have also led to a very good business at his family's butcher stall. When his father talked about Li Duoyu recently, he couldn't stop praising it.

"It's cool here at night. Let's go out for a walk. What kind of fish did you catch?"

Xiao Jin chuckled: "I didn't catch a few, just a few small milk bass, a barracuda and two small groupers."

"Not bad, we caught so much."

Xiao Jin grinned and said: "How can Brother Yu be so good? Mi, your big bass slide last time is still the highest record in our village."

Li Duoyu said: "Do you want to go fishing? I will take you there next time?"

Xiao Jin shook his head and said, "My fishing gear is not good enough. It's not a problem to get a ten-pound one. But if I get a twenty-pound one, the rod and line will be ruined."

While the two were chatting, the fishing wheel suddenly started spinning rapidly, and the line kept coming out.

Xiaojin was a little anxious.

He lifted the pole directly, but after a while, the bamboo pole bent into a U shape, and the crank handle of the homemade fishing reel was pulled with great force.

There was a "pop" sound.

The wooden handle on the fishing wheel was broken.

Xiao Jin was so anxious that he was covered in sweat. He used his palms to forcefully wrap the fishing reel that kept coming out of the line. With a squeak, the skin of his palms was scratched.

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. This fish was probably not small, weighing at least twenty or thirty pounds, judging from the speed of exiting the line and the direction of escape.

Li Duoyu felt that this fish was definitely not a grouper, otherwise it would have been as stable as an old dog drilling holes. It was more likely to be bass and sea wolf fish.

Once this kind of marine fish is frightened, it will swim to deep water outside the sea.

"Damn it, I caught another big fish."

Most people were excited when they caught a big fish, but Xiao Jin had a sad face because he had to make a choice next.

Cutting the line can save the remaining fishing line. If you give it a try, see if you can pull the fish up.

But he spent a lot of money to buy these fishing lines. Now that the "off-the-shelf" ones are gone, these imported fishing lines are getting more and more expensive.

After thinking about it.

Xiao Jin took out a pair of silver folding scissors from his pocket and prepared to cut the fishing line.

Seeing him trying to cut the fishing line.

Li Duoyu quickly said: "Wait, let me try."

"Okay, Brother Yu, it's your turn."

Xiao Jin, who was holding the fishing reel, quickly handed the bamboo pole to Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu, who took the fishing rod, held the broken fishing reel on the spot and immediately felt the huge pulling force of the big fish.

Fortunately, in the past six months, his palms were full of calluses due to frequent work, and he was very strong.

After taking the fishing rod.

Li Duoyu stood up the fishing rod on the spot, and found that the fish was struggling hard, so he let go of the line a little to prevent the rod from breaking.

Tired of struggling.

He used his thick palm to turn the fishing reel a few times, reeled in the line, and controlled the direction of the fish at the same time to prevent it from getting under the fishing boat and prevent the fishing line from touching the propeller.

Xiao Jin, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw Li Duoyu fishing like this.

Only two words popped up in my mind.

"Awesome."

No wonder Brother Yu was able to catch that big bass. It seems that it was not luck but skill that counted.

Because the fishing reel was broken, the whole tug-of-war process lasted for nearly twenty minutes.

The last big silver fish floated near the dock with no hope of life.

Li Duoyu also felt that his right hand was almost useless, sore and numb. The equipment was a bit simple, but the fish was very comfortable.

After seeing the fish flipped over.

Xiao Jin quickly used a scoop net to catch the big fish ashore and found that it was actually a big rice fish that came to steal food near the dock.

It was about 25 kilograms.

If Xiao Jin hadn't used imported fishing lines and hooks, this fish would probably not have been caught today.

After Xiao Jin caught the fish, he hesitated for a while and brought it to Li Duoyu.

"Brother Yu, this fish was caught by you, give it to you."

Seeing his reluctant expression.

"Why are you being so polite to me? I have plenty of fish at home, and I don't need this one."

"Hehe, thank you, Brother Fish."

Xiao Jin quickly put the whitened rice fish into the water and gave it "artificial respiration".

Seeing that it turned around and became energetic, he put it in the net bag and kept it at the dock temporarily, because only fresh fish can be sold at a high price. If it has been dead for too long, the fishmonger will not want the fish if he sees that the color of the gills is not good.

And this rice fish can be sold for at least five yuan, plus the perch and small grouper he caught, he will make seven or eight yuan tomorrow.

If it were in the past.

He usually hung the net bag directly on the dock and came to sell the fish after dawn.

Before, there were not many fish.

He was not afraid of being stolen, but this time he caught a big fish, and the naughty kids at the nearby dock might have seen it. He was afraid that as soon as he left, the fish and the net bag would be stolen.

So, Xiao Jin made a decision to fish all night tonight and make a fortune.

And he just learned some skills of fishing big fish from Brother Yu.

If he catches a big fish next time, he will not cut the line again. He is confident that he can pull up the big fish.

When Li Duoyu saw that the moon was high, he went home because the naughty child at home became more and more noisy at night.

Occasionally, he has to help take care of him.

Please give me some monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you everyone.
