386. Chapter 381 Lucky Fish, I Got Rich Tonight (1/2)

Chapter 381 Lucky fish, make a fortune tonight

At Li Duoyu's soft call, Zhou Xiaoying woke up and rubbed her eyes, and found that everything outside the window was dark.

"Duoyu, what time is it?"

"It's past nine o'clock."

"I've been sleeping for so long."

"Hurry up and have dinner first. There will be crabs you like tonight."

Zhou Xiaoying folded the blanket and put it in the cabinet. The meal looked simple, but it made people feel very appetizing.

The rice is cooked with dried Balang fish and has a salty taste.

There is also a swimming crab and cabbage soup in an iron basin. There is not much soup and cabbage in it, and it is all swimming crab.

Zhou Xiaoying, who had been eating steamed buns and light pancakes for a day, swallowed her saliva and asked, "Have you ever eaten Duoyu?"

"have eaten."

Li Duoyu said: "These are specially brought here for you to eat. This soup is very rich and fragrant. Drink it while it's hot."

"Are you lying to me? You must not have eaten yet."

Li Duoyu moved his mouth towards her face and said directly to her face: "Then do you want to smell it and see if there is any taste of swimming crab in my mouth."

"There's something wrong with you."

Zhou Xiaoying looked at the cabbage and swimming crab soup and couldn't help but said: "This swimming crab soup would be even more perfect if we add some noodles."

"When you go fishing at sea, it's good to have something to eat. Where else can you choose? Generally, we eat whatever the chef cooks. If we don't want to eat, we just go hungry."

"I'm just making a suggestion, why are you being so serious?"

But we do have sun-dried alkaline noodles on board. If you want to eat it, can I give it to you? "

Zhou Xiaoying shook her head and said, "No, I'll just talk casually. I'll be satisfied if I have crabs to eat."

There was a "click" sound.

The next second, the swimming crab's claws were crushed by Zhou Xiaoying's teeth.

Seeing her biting the crab like this, Li Duoyu had a toothache unconsciously.

"When you eat crab claws, it's best not to bite them with your teeth. If you bite them, your teeth will be damaged. You won't be able to eat crabs when you get older."

Zhou Xiaoying's teeth are very good now, but in later generations, she can't even bite meat. The reason is that she likes to chew crabs. As a result, many of her teeth were cracked and several were replaced later.

Zhou Xiaoying pouted: "I noticed that you have become like my mother-in-law recently. You are becoming more and more nagging me. I am not a three-year-old child."

"I'm doing this for your own good."

"You were smoking at that time. Did I tell you that smoking was bad?"

"I quit too."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said, "No, Duoyu, something's really wrong with you recently. Why do you feel more and more like my father and mother?"

After Zhou Xiaoying said this, Li Duoyu realized that as the time of rebirth became longer, his mentality seemed to have changed back to the same as in his previous life after the freshness. He was indeed missing something that young people should Some are full of energy.

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Hurry up and finish your meal. After you finish, I will give you something exciting."

"Don't even think about it."

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

Zhou Xiaoying said disgustedly: "Look at your own pants."

Li Duoyu looked at it subconsciously and saw that the tent was quite big. He had just had that thought and his body was the first to react.

Alas, my mentality is old,

But the body is very young.

Zhou Xiaoying looked over to the trawler while eating. She found that the crew was arranging the fishing nets, as if they were going to continue fishing.

"Duoyu, it's so late, you don't want to sleep, why are you still fishing?"

Li Duoyu smiled evilly and said, "You are so looking forward to sleeping, so I'll take a shower first."

Zhou Xiaoying gritted her teeth so hard.

"You're kidding, don't bite me."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "We will continue fishing later. We have three boats. If we just catch one net, we won't be able to make back our money."

Zhou Xiaoying asked in confusion: "There are so many crabs, can we still make money back? I heard someone said that swimming crabs in Rongcheng sell for 30 cents per pound."

Li Duoyu patiently explained:

"It can't be calculated like this. Our large-volume sales are different from the retail price. They all change the price of one or two lots. If the price in Rongcheng is 30 cents, our wholesale price is only 15 cents. ”

Zhou Xiaoying was surprised: "It's such a big difference."

Li Duoyu nodded: "Although there are quite a lot of swimming crabs in a net, in fact, you can only sell them for three hundred at most, and they have to be alive. If they are dead, you probably won't be able to sell them for even one hundred and fifty."

And here, for so many people in the fleet, we have to deduct a day’s wages and food, and then deduct the fuel expenses and ship damage expenses, and finally the three ship bosses have to share it.

Catching two or three nets a day is easy. When the fish catch is not good, the nets have to be set all day long, and no one even has time to sleep. "

Zhou Xiaoying knew that it was hard for people to go to sea, but she never thought it would be so tiring. She did a simple calculation:

"According to your calculations, there won't be much money left in your hands."

"Well, there really isn't much money left. If we only catch the same catch just now, after all expenses are deducted, each of us three ship bosses can only earn about thirty."

"That's true"

Zhou Xiaoying wanted to say that it was not easy to make money, but she suddenly realized.

Now, she only earns 40 yuan for a month of hard-working teaching. This is because her salary has been increased this year. Last year, she only earned 35 yuan a month.

One net of swimming crabs they caught earned her a month's salary.

Is this not making money?

But thinking about the eels that Li Duoyu had farmed before, she did a simple calculation and found out why the eels were so much more expensive than swimming crabs.

Zhou Xiaoying sighed:

"It's better to engage in breeding."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Now I finally know how to engage in breeding. I didn't know who it was before. I was worried all day long that I wouldn't be able to sell the eels."

Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him and pushed the remaining rice and swimming crabs in front of him.

"I can't finish it, so you can eat it."

"Why did you eat so much?"

"Isn't it okay if I lose weight?"

After Li Duoyu finished the rest of the meal, he saw that the fishing net had been sorted, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted:

[Minrong 031, this is Minrong 107. I will go to the front to explore the road first to see if there are any rocks. 】

Sizzle.

[Minrong 031, received, we will leave immediately. 】

After packing up the trawl net, the trawler turned its bow and headed towards the Li Duoyu fishing boat.

When trawling, it's time for the crew to rest, but the cabin in the summer is simply not suitable for people.

Not only was it so hot that I was sweating, but the smell of foot odor and sweat doubled, and there were a lot of fleas, bedbugs, and a kind of small cockroach.

Chen Liang just lay down, squinted for a while, and felt a little itchy on his waist. When he opened his clothes, he saw nearly 20 small red dots, which were extremely itchy.

"Fuck, how can you sleep now?"

Chen Youquan frowned: "Just get used to biting, and they won't bite you in the future."

"Forget it, I won't sleep in the cabin anymore. I'll sleep outside on the deck."

"Sleep in the middle of the boat, don't sleep on the side. Do you know?"

"knew."

Chen Liang kept scratching the bitten area, but he still felt itchy and it started to bleed, so he felt relieved.

Wait until he reaches the deck.

Looking at the fishing boat not far ahead, I couldn't help but sigh: "Damn it, when will I get a boat like this?" The second uncle, who was sitting under the mast and smoking, said calmly: " Don’t be anxious, if you work hard, you will get there in the future.”

Chen Liang glanced at him sideways and asked, "So you have worked hard for so many years and now you have your own boat?"

The second uncle was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought. There were some things that he knew quite well.

The reason why Li Zhengfa and Li Niantian were able to get up was due to the superposition of multiple factors, but the most important thing is that it should be the small yellow croaker secretly hidden by the old lady.

If there were no small yellow croakers, they would not have been able to buy the boat that originally belonged to the fishing team after the fishing team was disbanded.

And if Li Duoyu hadn't stolen the goods in the early stage, he wouldn't have had the first pot of gold to engage in kelp farming, and there would have been no such things later.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem right. The reason why these people are successful is not only due to external factors, but more importantly, they work really hard.

There were many people who went for training at the beginning, but it seemed that only the Li family could really read a sextant and draw a sea chart.

That's why the captain of the fishing team has always been a member of the Li family.

The second uncle raised his head and glanced at the cockpit. The boss of the ship did not come to work with him personally, but sailing the ship was not easy at all.

It can be said that the boss of the ship is the person who has worked the longest on the ship.

The second uncle glanced at Chen Liang. This child was good in nature, but he had never suffered much before. He was irritable when doing things and always liked to complain.

The second uncle sighed: "I don't have my own boat. That's a problem of the times. But you are so young. If you can't afford a boat in the future, you will be lazy and stupid."

"You clearly have four words."

The fishing boats at night all flash their lights. This is telling nearby fishing boats that our fishing boats are trawling and please stay away.

In this swimming crab fishing season, at night, you can see fishing boats with flashing lights in the distance, and there are quite a few.

Zhou Xiaoying, who was lying on the window, looked at a bright light not far away and asked with a little fear: "Duoyu, why is the boat in front of me a green light? It looks a bit scary."

Li Duoyu looked in the direction of Xiaoying and saw a ship with green light. He was confused for two seconds and then said:

"That one should be a fishing boat that is being rounded up by lights."

"Isn't it like a small fishing tube? If you shine a light on it, fish will come over."

"Roughly the same."

"That's whether their lights are better at hunting, or your fish finder is better."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Here we come, of course they are more powerful at night. Those big fishing boats can catch several fish in one net."

Zhou Xiaoying was shocked: "Is it so exaggerated?"

"Well, generally those kind of ships are big ships."

In fact, what Li Duoyu said was quite conservative. After seeing the green light, Li Duoyu had already guessed that it was most likely an imported light fishing boat.

This kind of large fishing boat is usually owned by a state-owned fishing company, and the equipment on the boat is also very advanced, including fish finders and the like.

And just then.

The fishing boat on the opposite side also spotted them, and its lights flashed.

It's a signal that prompts them to take a detour.

At the same time, Li Duoyu's walkie-talkie also made a beeping sound.

[Zhezhou 271, can you hear me here? If you hear me, please answer. 】

Li Duoyu picked up the walkie-talkie and replied directly:

[Zhezhou 271, you can hear it from Minrong 107]

[Minrong 107, our company is conducting purse seine operations in the sea ahead. Your fleet's route is currently in conflict with ours. Please detour. ]

[Minrong 107, received. Our fleet is preparing to detour. Please feel free to conduct purse seine operations. ]

[Minrong 107, thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation. ]

Uncle San, who has installed a radio, also received the message. The only problem is Uncle's boat.

However, if there is no radio, lights can also be used for communication.

Uncle San pointed one of the lights at Li Niantian's fishing boat and flashed the signal.

Not long after.

The other party also flashed a few lights.

Chen Liang, who was sleeping in the middle of the deck, asked curiously: "What does this flashing light mean?"

"This is a signal light. I don't know the details. It roughly means that we can't go forward and have to take a detour."

"How do you know?"

"You will know after you have been with the ship for a long time."

Chen Liang asked in confusion: "Why doesn't that ship have a radio? If there is a radio, communication will be much easier."

"There is no need to install it. The ship will be sold soon. They will change to a big ship soon."

Chen Liang said in surprise: "Change to a big ship. How big is it? How many meters is it?"

"I also heard it from others. It is at least 40 meters."

Chen Liang became very happy in an instant: "Hurry up and change it early. This ship is full of bedbugs and fleas. It is impossible to sleep."

Looking at the second uncle who was smoking a dry pipe.

Chen Liang couldn't help asking: "I see you smoke this cigarette all day. Is it good to smoke? Let me try it."

The second uncle knocked on the pipe, stuffed some tobacco into it, and then handed the long pipe over.

"Ahem."

"It's really hard to smoke."

After taking two puffs, Chen Liang started coughing on the spot: "Why is this cigarette so choking?"

The second uncle laughed and said, "Do you think anyone dares to smoke this cigarette?"

After the fleet detoured, about an hour later, Li Duoyu stopped the fishing boat and two lights were lit on the mast.

The white light on the top.

The red light on the bottom.

After seeing the light signal, the two trawlers behind also lit up the same light.

And this light is the signal light for stopping the boat and raising the net.

As the winch turned.

The trawl net was slowly collected, but what everyone didn't expect was that although this net was also quite large, the net bag was full of mullets, which should have been caught when the fishing boat detoured.

When the crew saw the fish, they all shook their heads and sighed, with a look of disgust on their faces.

This thing is not only cheap, but also troublesome to process. Not only do you have to remove the head, but you also have to remove the skin. Even old fishermen like the second uncle and the eldest uncle don't like it.

Some time ago, Rongcheng Aquatic Products Company commissioned them to catch mullets for a month. Now seeing this kind of fish, it is really a headache.

When the captain Li Zhengfa saw the mullets on the net bag, he also looked ugly. If the whole net was full of this kind of fish, it would be a loss. Fortunately, there were swimming crabs under the net bag.

"Don't deal with this fish later, just sell it at a low price."

After hearing this, the crew members instantly became excited:

"I was scared to death."

"If you really peel it, we won't have to sleep tonight."

As the net bag was untied, what everyone didn't expect was that a colorful big fish more than one meter long slipped out of the net bag.

"What kind of fish is this? It's so beautiful, and the white spots on its body feel like stars."

"It looks a bit like a sunfish."

"I've seen sunfish, but this one is definitely not a sunfish."

Li Duoyu was also very excited when he saw the fish: "Wow, I'm rich tonight."
