1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 491 Beat You to Death (1/2)

The "duck" that was about to be caught was snatched away just like that, and Li Duoyu was so angry that his mouth was crooked.

These sea hooligans are really annoying, but the "hooligan" who came to steal the fish this time was really big.

Anyway, Li Duoyu didn't have the courage to fight it alone. President Ou, who didn't see it clearly, asked:

"Director Li, what kind of fish was it just now? How did it pull away such a big grouper in a short time?"

Li Duoyu: "I didn't see it clearly either. Judging from the color and size, it is very likely a shark."

And Principal Chen, who was about to catch the grouper just now, saw it very clearly.

"Duoyu is right. The color is a little gray and a little yellow. It is very likely a young tiger shark."

Li Duoyu was surprised and said: "Is it really a tiger shark?"

"Yeah."

Principal Chen nodded and said: "There are still many such sharks in the Ludao waters."

Tiger sharks are the most aggressive sharks in the coastal areas. Here, whenever a shark attacks a person.

You don't even need to think about it, you know it was this kind of shark that did it. Tiger sharks are also the most hated sharks by coastal fishermen.

When they grow up, they can grow to more than four meters long. If an adult tiger shark swims past a sampan, it is still quite terrifying.

But that was only in the past.

If a tiger shark dares to swim past a fishing boat now, it is likely to be poked with a big hole by the fishermen.

For fishermen of this era, as long as they can catch such a big shark, they will definitely not let it go.

Under the impact of Hong Kong culture, the status of abalone and shark fin in seafood is rising rapidly.

And a shark can cut off four or five fins, and many hotels will buy them, which can bring considerable income to fishermen.

Not only shark fins, but also shark belly and shark liver are not cheap. It can be said that the whole body is a treasure.

Even shark meat cannot be thrown away. In the previous life, Li Duoyu saw those videos of cutting shark fins and throwing shark meat into the sea, and he couldn't help but want to curse.

What a waste, the only ones who can do such a waste of natural resources are the unscrupulous Western media.

Coastal fishermen like them rarely waste food and are quite good at eating shark meat.

If they can catch one, the fishermen are still very happy. Today's fishermen don't know that sharks urinate through their skin.

If it doesn't taste good, then find a way to make it taste good. Fishermen usually have three tricks when they encounter unpalatable food.

First rinse and blanch.

Then marinate with rice wine, then add onions, ginger and garlic. If it still doesn't taste good, then apply salt and turn it into salted fish directly.

If applying salt doesn't work, then the last resort is to put it directly in a jar and marinate it with salt and wine lees.

Just like there is a dark dish in their Shangfeng Town, which is called "Dai Liu" in the local dialect.

In fact, it is pickled small hairtail.

Small hairtail has no meat and is not edible at all. Under normal circumstances, if fishermen catch it, they either throw it back into the sea or feed it directly to chickens and ducks.

But the hardworking and simple fishermen still found a way to eliminate it, which is to marinate it with red wine lees and shredded radish.

After being pickled, it becomes "Dai Liu" in the local dialect, which is very salty but also very delicious.

When thinking of this thing, Li Duoyu couldn't help but drool.

Speaking of which, he has been in this world for so long, and his mother seems to have never made this dish. Could it be that his family's economic situation has improved and his mother has disdained to make this dish?

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu plans to pickle some Dai Liu to eat by himself. This thing is particularly good with rice. With this thing, he can eat three bowls of rice.

They can eat dark dishes like Dai Liu, so sharks are naturally even more out of the question.

And there are many ways to cook sharks, braised, pickled, cold-mixed shark skin, shark balls, all of which are very good.

The fish market along the coast sells small sharks all year round, and they are not cheap, much more expensive than ordinary seafood.

Under normal circumstances, sharks will run away immediately if they take a bite and tear off half of the fish body.

At least he knew to leave half for the fisherman, but this time he didn't know if the shark was not smart.

Or maybe the grouper swallowed too deep. Li Duoyu could clearly feel that the hook had pierced the shark.

The fishing reel in his hand kept making "clicking" sounds, and the fishing line was coming out at a very fast speed.

Li Duoyu frowned. He didn't plan to catch a shark, but since the other party had delivered it to his door, there was no reason to refuse it.

After seeing him catch a shark, these leaders were more excited than him.

"Hold on, don't let the thief get away." President Ou was a little bit unbelieving: "Can such a big shark be caught? Can this fishing rod hold up?"

Director Wu laughed: "I definitely can't, but if there are more fish, it is still possible to catch it. He caught a tuna weighing more than 600 kilograms in Nagasaki."

President Ou widened his eyes and looked at Li Duoyu: "So amazing."

Director Wu praised: "Duoyu is a little young, but he knows a lot. He exchanged this fishing boat for that tuna, and these fishing rods were also given by the islanders. It is absolutely no problem to catch a fish weighing 120 kilograms."

"Awesome, awesome."

Li Duoyu clenched his teeth, because the shark might bite the hook and feel pain, and then go directly to the bottom of the boat and go to the other side.

Now, his fishing rod is bent into a "9" shape. Fortunately, the fishing rod is of good quality. If it is replaced with a domestic fishing rod, it would have broken long ago.

But at this time, the leader's attention is not on the shark, but frowning at the fishing rod in Li Duoyu's hand.

This fishing rod is really amazing. It has not broken at this angle and can withstand such a large tension. It is definitely high-tech.

This material can not only be used on fishing rods, but also in other fields. During this period after the reform and opening up, he often went out for inspections, and only then did he find that the gap between domestic technology and foreign technology is really too big.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He really wasted too many years.

Li Duoyu tried hard to control the fishing rod. Bottom drilling is the most annoying thing for fishermen. As long as the fishing line rubs against the barnacles on the bottom of the boat, there is a high probability that the line will be cut.

Li Duoyu quickly said to Principal Chen of Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School: "Principal Chen, can you drive this fishing boat?"

Principal Chen Lisheng hesitated for a while: "If your boat is operated the same as other boats, there will be no big problem."

Li Duoyu said: "It's almost the same as other boats, just treat it as an ordinary boat."

"Okay, I'll try it."

"Principal Chen, you have to hold on tight, my line is already rubbing against the bottom of the boat, and it will probably break in a while."

"Okay, I'll help you change the direction right away."

With the help of Principal Chen, the fishing boat turned in a direction, and now Li Duoyu is much easier to catch.

A shark weighing more than 100 kilograms is still quite difficult to catch, but it is much easier to catch than a big bass.

Sharks don't drill holes, just slip it, and when it is exhausted, it will naturally be caught.

A group of leaders stared at Li Duoyu fishing for more than ten minutes, but they didn't catch anything, so they gradually lost their patience and continued fishing.

The first time is raw, the second time is familiar.

After catching a few fish, the leaders found the trick to fishing. After all, who can sit in this position has a bad brain.

Just at this time.

A group of mackerels came near the sunken ship. A group of people caught fish one after another. They were so happy to fish. Even the veteran fisherman, Principal Chen, couldn't help but go fishing.

On this fishing trip, the leaders were very happy fishing, and Li Duoyu and Principal Chen both made great contributions.

The most difficult thing about sea fishing is not the fishing technique, but to find a place with fish and use the most suitable bait to fish.

If you encounter an unreliable boat boss when you are sea fishing and take you to a place without fish to fish, it will be useless for you to fish all day.

An hour passed.

Li Duoyu was still tug-of-war with the shark. Because he used a small hook to catch grouper before, Li Duoyu did not dare to tug-of-war with the shark violently, but slowly slipped it away.

After almost an hour and a half of slithering, Li Duoyu finally slid it to the side of the boat. Principal Chen took out the scoop net and just wanted to get it, but found that the scoop net was too small.

Li Duoyu directly picked up the curved hook rod on the boat, which was often used to hook kelp ropes, and hit the shark near the gills with the bend.

Then he suddenly lifted it up and stabbed the hook tip into the shark's body. The shark struggled violently for a few times in pain.

But Li Duoyu still dragged it to the boat, and the shark still had the half of the grouper hanging in its mouth.

It was bitten to pieces by it, and it didn't look like a fish at all. After getting on the boat, the shark shook its head and tail with all its last strength, wanting to take a bite of the despicable human in front of it.

But I didn't expect that this despicable human had already taken out a wooden stick.

"Bang, bang, bang" three times.

Each stick hit the center of the tiger shark's forehead, and the tiger shark felt dizzy. The shark raised its head high and was directly hit stiff.

Li Duoyu shouted, "I'll kill you, old man."

The leaders on the ship all watched the shark. When they saw that the shark was completely motionless, the leader tried to touch the shark and was surprised.

"This shark looks slippery, but why does it feel so rough?"

Principal Chen explained:

"Sharks have scales, which we call shield scales, but they are very small, so they feel quite rough."

"Is that so."

Li Duoyu also wanted to say that sharks secrete urine from these scales, but think about it, scientists of this era should not know this yet.

If he said it, experts like Principal Chen would remember it and ask him for an explanation in the future.

Li Duoyu looked at the tiger shark on the deck. It might be because of the refraction of the water. The shark was much larger than he had seen with his naked eyes before.

Put it on the deck, the length of the fish body was as tall as Li Duoyu.

At this time, Director Wu Yuping of the Fisheries Bureau took out a film camera from nowhere and suggested: "Everyone has caught a lot of fish today. Do you want to take a group photo?"

Chairman Ou smiled and nodded: "Okay, I have never caught such a big fish in my life. Let me take a group photo with Director Li first."

The leader also nodded: "Okay, let's take a group photo together."

Li Duoyu used the mast to hang up the big shark, and then a group of people took a group photo around the shark.

Li Duoyu also took a group photo with everyone present, and finally he took a group photo with the shark alone.

This time the leaders were very happy fishing, and before they knew it, it was already noon. The leaders sat by the boat, fishing and discussing cooperation projects.

Li Duoyu was very close, so he could not help but hear some important things. They were actually discussing something.

It seemed that in December 1984, China and Britain had officially signed the "Joint Declaration" to determine the time for the return of Hong Kong Island.

In recent years, many Hong Kong Island societies and hometown associations have been actively involved in promoting these things to ensure the smooth return of Hong Kong Island.

The big guys talk about the big guys, and the small guys do what the small guys should do. They were still fishing and talking about things at mealtime.

Li Duoyu had to become the fire starter, and said secretly: "No matter how powerful you are, you still have to rely on me to cook this lunch for you."

But what to eat? (End of this chapter)
