385. Chapter 380 It Really Hurts to Be Pinched

After determining the fishing direction.

Uncle San's trawler shouted, "Don't stand at the stern, get ready to cast the net."

The trawler slowly moved forward.

Uncle Er and Uncle Da threw the net bag into the sea. After more than a month of running-in, Uncle San and Uncle Da summed up a new way to cast the net.

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

This way of casting the net will be safer than their previous one, and there is no need to worry when the waves are big.

After placing the trawl net.

The two boats drove towards the direction of Li Duoyu's fishing boat at a speed of about 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, it's safe ahead, there are no reefs, you can drive safely. ]

[Minrong 031, received. 】

The fishing boat sailed forward for about two hours, and at this time, it was already past six in the afternoon.

"It's so late, you still haven't cooked yet, do you want me to help you cook something?"

"No, Uncle Zhuang will be responsible for cooking, you just stay on this boat, don't go to that boat, there are many rules on the sea, if there is a problem, it may be clear."

"Okay."

As the winch turned, the trawl net was slowly collected, and all the crew members were on standby, waiting for the net bag to float to the surface.

Although the net bag was very large, even larger than the previous jellyfish net, the crabs were not heavy, normally about five or six taels, and rarely one pound of swimming crabs.

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

"It's terrifying."

"How many crabs are there in this net? It should be two or three thousand kilograms. It's really shocking."

As soon as Chen Liang finished speaking, his father Chen Youquan knocked on his head on the spot: "I have told you so many times, don't say those messed up words at sea."

Chen Liang touched his head in pain.

"Dad, can you stop hitting my head all the time? It really hurts."

Zhou Xiaoying, who was lying on the window, showed half of her head and secretly looked in, and was also very shocked.

"Duoyu, can you catch so many swimming crabs every time you go out to sea?"

Li Duoyu touched her head.

"How is it possible? The trawlers of uncle and third uncle can catch so many swimming crabs. It's all thanks to your husband. If it weren't for me, they would have been lucky to catch half of them."

"Bullshit."

Zhou Xiaoying said disdainfully: "It's obviously the fish finder and the sonar."

"Then tell me, whose fish finder is it."

Zhou Xiaoying pursed her lips: "Forget it, you are such a scoundrel, I can't beat you."

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

Zhou Xiaoying snorted: "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 always treated her like a little girl.

Zhou Xiaoying murmured, "He was still wetting the bed in the third or fourth grade of elementary school, and two years ago, he still had a childish afro."

Li Duoyu took a rope and tied the two boats together. He pulled the rope hard and the boats moved closer.

Then, he and Li Shuguang jumped directly onto Uncle San's trawler.

In fact, jumping off a boat is still a very dangerous behavior, as the decks of many boats are very slippery.

If you don't jump well, it's easy to fall into the gap between the two boats, which is quite dangerous, but the fishermen seem to have gotten used to it and often jump between the boat and the dock.

Especially those fishmongers, their jumping off boat skills are even better, and they often jump on the boat before it reaches the shore.

On the trawler, Chen Liang grabbed a swimming crab and pinched its legs.

"Oh my god, this male crab is good, so fat, it will definitely sell for a good price."

Second uncle said: "Do you need to tell me? If the crabs are not fat at this time, why do we come out at this time?"

Chen Liang asked in confusion: "Does the swimming crab depend on the season?"

"August and September are the seasons for swimming crabs to mate (bah), and before that, male crabs usually eat themselves very fat, so that they will not lose in a fight. Male crabs at this time are the most delicious."

"What about female crabs?"

"Female crabs at this time are also good. They have completed the final molting and can mate (bah), but there are fewer roe at this time. People usually call them girl crabs or virgin crabs."

"When will the female crabs have roe?" "It's about the tenth month of the lunar calendar. At that time, the female crabs will swim to the near sea and eat themselves fat. At this time, the roe is the most."

"Is that so? No wonder we can pick up swimming crabs on the beach in October."

The second uncle said with a little disdain: "You don't understand this. I doubt whether you grew up by the sea."

Chen Liang scratched his head and glanced at Li Duoyu not far away. He used to be struggling to become a street urchin like Li Duoyu, and his knowledge of fishermen was almost zero.

The swimming crabs were all over the deck, and the eldest uncle swept the swimming crabs 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 tied up a swimming crab in less than five seconds and then threw it into a large bamboo basket on the side.

And they don't need to wear gloves to catch this thing, and they can catch it accurately, as if those 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.

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

The second uncle smiled and said: "You can't make progress while wearing gloves. You can go slower and it'll be fine, 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, who was 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 tied up a swimming crab in less than three seconds.

Chen Liang's head was filled with questions.

"What a fucking monster, how come you can 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 snorted: "The black dogs have received a salary increase. Now it's four yuan a day."

The corners of Chen Liang's mouth twitched and his forehead was covered with black lines. He was the only one on the ship who didn't know how to tie swimming crabs, and his salary was also the lowest.

"Damn it, why don't you just tie a crab? I can do it too."

Chen Liang tied it up with all his strength, but as soon as he started, he was pinched again. The pain was so painful that he dropped 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, just go slow. Just like a black dog, put it on the deck and tie it 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 so small, just throw it into the sea, and throw all the ones with cubs back into the sea."

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

Everyone tied up the swimming crabs 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 briefly discussed 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 dragged back directly.

Tonight, we had to complete the task of tying swimming crabs first, so everyone didn’t have dinner until nine o’clock in the evening.

"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."

When Li Duoyu came to the fishing boat's cab and turned on the boat 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)
