Chapter 505 Leading the Fleet to Catch Shrimp (1/2)

Li Duoyu looked at the frightened young man in front of him, and some less important information from his previous life came to his mind.

He remembered something about Lao Tang, which was why Lao Tang married into Xiasha Village.

He heard someone say that it seemed that there was a shipwreck, and the relatives who went to sea with Lao Tang died, and the boat was lost. Maybe out of guilt, he married into Dandan Island.

If Li Duoyu guessed correctly, in the previous life, only Lao Tang survived the shipwreck, and his younger brother died.

It is no wonder that Lao Tang always avoids topics related to relatives when talking about Shangqi Village, and rarely returns to Shangqi Village.

And this kind of pain, Li Duoyu has also experienced it personally. If something happens when two people go to sea, the survivors will be in shackles for life.

For example, in the previous life, no matter how he explained, Agui's family would not listen, and they thought that Li Duoyu was murdering Agui for money.

Especially Zhang Meiying, who is totally unreasonable. Speaking of this person, I don’t know how she has been reformed in Rongcheng Fourth Hospital.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn’t help but sigh, poured a cup of hot water for each of the two brothers, and distributed some Guangbing to them.

After a long time, the young man named Tang Xiaopao recovered and his face was slightly red.

"What do you think?"

"Don't be too polite, just say thank you and say it’s almost enough."

Tang Weiquan reached into his pocket and was about to take out a cigarette, but found that the cigarettes and matches in his pocket had long gone.

Tang Weiquan shook his head like a rattle. If he really liked it, he would probably do it himself when warming up.

Seeing that the clothes of the two were all wet, Li Duoyu took out two sets of clothes from the cabin:

"It just happens that there are two spare sets of clothes, which are relatively torn. If you don’t mind, just wear them first."

It seems that the despair of being entangled in the fishing net and being held under the boat for nearly half an hour has left a big shadow on him.

Tang Weiquan looked at the wet clothes beside him. It was still quite cold in this weather. Even if there was a coal stove, it would take a long time to dry the clothes.

Tang Weiquan was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Director Li, you risked your lives to save us. We two brothers are really moved. How dare we ask you to help me save the boat again."

Tang Weiquan rolled his eyes and said: "I don't know who it was. When he was just rescued, he cried and said that he would never go out to sea again?"

Tang Xiaopao felt a little wronged and muttered: "I just touch the seat of this cab to see if it is real leather."

Previously, there were five or six shrimps on the one-meter sticky net, but now there are more than ten shrimps on the one-meter sticky net, and big bass are caught from time to time.

Tang Xiaohu's eyes widened: "Is it true?"

The two brothers can't stay naked and get into other people's beds. That would be too embarrassing. Besides, they have already started to pull up the net.

After seeing these big bass, Li Duoyu was very disgusted. This guy is a big shrimp eater, and he can eat a big yellow shrimp in one bite.

Tang Weiquan nodded: "In our Shangfeng Town, only Director Li has this kind of boat."

Tang Weiquan also wanted to help them, just as a small reward for the life-saving grace.

Although Tang Weiquan felt cold, he felt warm in his heart. But for some reason, he felt that Li Duoyu seemed to be too good to them brothers.

After a while, Tang Xiaopao, who had put on his clothes, looked around the fishing boat, his face full of excitement: "Brother, is this the boat we saw before, the white one, very beautiful, and the one that ran very fast?"

Li Duoyu continued: "By the way, there is something I want to tell you. When our boat left just now, we found that your fishing boat had sunk. We originally planned to help you "turn it over" after dawn, but it didn't expect it to sink so quickly. You probably have to find someone to salvage it."

"I also heard that this boat is more expensive than the savings of all the people in our village combined."

"That won't work either."

In order to save people, Li Duoyu and his team cut the net rope earlier, and now they can only drive the fishing boat to the other end of the fishing net.

Tang Weiquan pressed Tang Xiaopao's head: "Director Li, thank you very much."

Tang Xiaopao curled his lips: "I mean, I don't want to go out to sea on that kind of small sampan anymore. Look how safe this kind of boat is. It doesn't feel particularly shaky in such a big wind and waves."

After taking the clothes, Tang Weiquan thanked sincerely: "Thank you so much, Director Li."

Tang Weiquan smiled innocently: "You have helped us brothers so much, how can I have the nerve to wear your clothes again."

Tang Weiquan sighed. Rather than saying that there are more good people, it is better to say that the two of them are lucky to meet Li Duoyu and other good people.

"Maybe."

Tang Weiquan said: "Xiaopao, why don't you stop fishing and go to Director Li to work for him for free for a few years, which can be regarded as paying off the debt."

Not only did he save them, but he also gave them clothes to wear. At this moment, Tang Weiquan suddenly thought a lot. Could it be that he fell in love with them?

Tang Xiaopao sighed: "Brother, there are still more good people in this world."

Tang Xiaopao was about to reach out to touch the main seat in the cab, but his brother immediately scolded him: "Don't be naughty, if you break it, we can't afford to pay for it."

Li Duoyu looked at his watch and didn't expect that time passed quickly. It was already past two in the morning. He planned to collect the remaining fishing nets and traps. If he moved quickly, he might be able to cast the net again.

Li Duoyu glanced at the two brothers: "You should still be very cold, hurry up and roast the fire to warm up your body."

A two or three jin sea bass, who knows how many shrimps will be consumed in a day.

Li Duoyu said: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about, it's just old clothes, not worth much money, usually put here for emergency use."

Tang Xiaopao looked around the cab and felt that this boat was really awesome: "It's even equipped with two TVs, brother, how much money do you think we can afford this boat if we make money."

After fishing up the bamboo pole float, they continued to pull the net with manpower. It may be because of the change in weather, Li Duoyu and his team caught more yellow shrimps on the net.

The purchase price of shrimps is at least three yuan, while sea bass is very cheap, and the purchase price of fishmongers is only about two cents at most.

"I want to, but they may not buy it."

Seeing that the whole net was full of shrimps, Shitou seemed very excited and instantly forgot about the matter of sticking to a big man just now.

Tang Weiquan looked at the big yellow shrimps on the net and couldn't help but envy them. Each shrimp was as big as a palm.

The two brothers also discovered by accident that there would be a lot of shrimps here in certain seasons.

The two originally planned to make a fortune with these shrimps. After they caught the shrimps, they didn't dare to sell them back to the village or go to the Qingkou Wharf.

Instead, they directly shipped them to Rongcheng Wharf to sell. These days, they made five or six hundred yuan just by catching shrimps.

A few days ago, they didn't dare to make a public announcement when hundreds of meters of fishing nets were stolen, just because they were afraid that everyone would know that they were catching shrimps here.

But I didn't expect that I was too greedy.

When encountering such bad weather, I still have a fluke mentality.

In the past, I always heard the older generation say how dangerous it is to go to sea, and we must be respectful of the sea and be pious when worshiping Mazu.

Tang Weiquan always smiled, but after this incident, they finally understood why the older generation said that when they saw the white-headed waves, no matter how good the harvest was, they had to leave immediately.

After the two brothers warmed up, they went to the deck to help: "Director Li, we'll help you."

Li Duoyu replied: "No, you should rest for a while, don't catch a cold."

"It's okay, do some work, sweat a little, it's easier to get rid of moisture."

There was still thunder in the sky.

But the thunder had become farther away.

The rainstorm and strong wind only lasted for a while, and now there was almost no rain in the sea near Qixing Bay.

If five people helped, the efficiency was much higher. When it was dawn, there was a morning glow in the east.

The crimson glow reflected the sea, and at this time, everyone had just collected the last ground trap.

The live fish warehouse of the fishing boat was full of shrimps, conservatively estimated to be about 70 to 80 kilograms.

If these shrimps were taken to Rongcheng to sell, at least 30 big unity would be exchanged, there would be no problem.

"Thank you for your hard work." When leaving Qixing Bay, Li Duoyu took the Tang brothers to the place where the shipwreck occurred again, and when they got there,

Nothing could be seen on the sea, but the display of the fish finder could tell that there was a sunken ship under the fishing boat.

The water here was not deep. If Xiao Chao dived with a rope, he could pull up the sampan with the power of the fishing boat.

But at the moment, these live shrimps were more important. Li Duoyu sent the Tang brothers to the dock of Shangqi Village and immediately sailed back to Dandan Island.

Watching the white fishing boat leave, an old fisherman at the dock of Shangqi Village couldn't help asking:

"When did you get in touch with Director Li of Xiasha Village in Dandan Island, and he even sent you back in person."

"No. Didn't you two brothers go out on a boat? Why did you come back on someone else's boat?"

Tang Weiquan looked helpless:

"Something happened at sea and we were rescued. By the way, Uncle Zhang, help me contact a big boat and find someone who can dive to help me salvage the boat."

Hearing him say this, the old fisherman understood instantly and knew what happened to the two brothers.

"It seems you are lucky. I can help you contact them, but the price they charge is quite high, so you should be prepared."

"Of course we know that."

In less than an hour.

When Li Duoyu's fishing boat returned to Dandan Island, all the nearby fishermen ran to the dock to see if he had caught any prawns.

Old Lu, who was sorting fishing nets at the dock, said: "Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. We have so many people who haven't caught anything, and Li Duoyu can't catch anything even if he is a god."

Old Mi laughed:

"How about we make a bet."

After hearing this, Old Lu instantly became energetic and smoked a cigarette: "You believe in Duoyu so much, how can we bet? He is really good at breeding, but he is still a little bit behind in going out to sea to fish."

Old Mi said: "Then let's bet five dollars, if Duoyu can catch more than ten kilograms of shrimp, I will win?"

"Okay, I don't believe it."

The Zhao brothers also said: "We also bet five dollars, betting that Brother Yu can catch at least ten kilograms of shrimp."

Liu Yun smiled and said: "I bet ten dollars, Brother Yu, you can catch at least twenty kilograms."

Old Lu blew his beard and glared at the group of people: "Are you guys drugged by Li Duoyu, or are you doing personality cult? We can't catch shrimp, how can Duoyu catch it?"

After Li Duoyu's fishing boat docked at the dock, everyone found that there seemed to be only two baskets of sea bass on his boat.

Lao Lu couldn't help laughing and said:

"I want you to bet with me. Each of you will take five yuan. The one named Liu will give me ten yuan. Remember."

The fishmonger Lao Mi smiled and said:

"Lao Lu, believe me, you lost this time. Go home and get the money. We can catch so many sea bass this season, which means that many fish will definitely find the shrimp nest."

Hearing this, Lao Lu instantly became nervous. Lao Mi was indeed right. Finding a bass nest this season is equivalent to finding a shrimp nest.

Lao Mi shouted to Li Duoyu on the boat: "How many shrimps have been caught this time?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It's okay, not a lot."

"By the way, whose wooden barrels are not in use? Hurry up and lend me a few to hold the shrimps."

Lao Mi smiled and said: "I have to borrow a bucket to pack shrimps. That's not much."

Li Duoyu opened the live fish cabin, carefully picked up the live shrimps, and put them into a wooden barrel filled with sea water.

A fishing net.

Two fishing nets.

Three fishing nets.

The fishermen on the shore were all stunned. Several fishermen couldn't help asking: "Duoyu, where did you catch so many shrimps?"

Li Duoyu smiled: "I'll take care of things first, and I'll tell you later."

"If you have money, let's make it together."

At this moment, Lao Lu's face was burning. How much money would he lose this time? At least six people had bet with him just now.

He tiptoed and was about to slip away when the Zhao brothers blocked him on the spot and said with a smile: "Old Lu, where do you want to go?"

Lao Lu smiled awkwardly and said: "If you catch so many shrimps with many fish, I will go home and bring him a few wooden barrels so that he can put the shrimps in."

Zhao Dahai smiled kindly and said:

"Remember, we lost five dollars in a bet."

Lao Lu coughed twice:

"It sounds like I'm the kind of person who knows how to cheat. It's not just five yuan. I'll give it to you as soon as I make the money."

"Fuck, it's as if you have no money now. Can you make some progress? You are a millionaire after all."

Lao Lu said with a dark face: "The ten thousand yuan household is all empty. The money is all in my Yanyan's house. If you have the ability, you can take it from her."

The Zhao brothers' mouths twitched when they thought of Yanyan. They heard that she seemed to be unhappy recently. When they thought of this, they couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yuansheng who was holding dogtail grass in his mouth at the door of Lao Lu's house, and couldn't help raising their eyebrows. Thumb: "What a cruel person."

Li Duoyu transported the shrimps to the eel factory, and then selected more than 80 kilograms of shrimps, and finally only selected more than a hundred broodstock shrimps.

If Li Duoyu was a professional fisherman, he would definitely not take them and tell them such a good shrimp fishing spot.

But right now, broodstock cultivation is the most important thing. Even if he catches it alone, no matter how good his technique is, the amount of shrimp he can catch is limited.

The lifespan of Penaeus chinensis is only about one year, and the female shrimp will die directly after laying eggs.

If enough broodstock for breeding are not caught before April, there is a high probability that shrimp farming will be useless this year.

Besides, Li Duoyu still has many things to be busy with, and he can't spare any time to catch shrimps.

Li Duoyu thought for a while and broadcast directly: "Important notice, important notice. There are people in the village who plan to catch shrimps and have fishing boats. Meet at the pier in the evening. I will take everyone to catch shrimps."

After hearing this broadcast, the fishermen with boats in the village instantly became enthusiastic.

“It’s better to have more fish.”

"Director Li, you are such a good person."

"I'm really going to get rich now, Lizhu, hurry up and sort out the net."

The fishermen in Chenjia Village also heard the news, and someone immediately went back to tell the fishermen in their village who had boats.

Around evening time, Li Duoyu himself was stunned. Almost all the fishing boats on the island were waiting for him at the pier, including Liu Yun's shrimp boat.

There were more than forty boats, each with lanterns hung on them, and every fisherman had a smile on his face.

"Let's go, follow up."

Li Duoyu's fishing boat was at the front, and several unpowered sculling sampans were pulled behind with hemp ropes.

Liu Yun and Lao Lu also pulled several fishing boats. As night fell, these fishing boats all lit up lanterns.

If you stand at Thean Hou Temple and look out, you can see the fleet heading towards Seven Star Bay.

Since almost everyone with boats on the island has gone out to sea tonight, the incense in Thean Hou Temple is particularly strong, and all of them are people carrying sacred baskets to worship.

Li Duoyu is the captain of this fishing operation. According to the unwritten rules of Xiasha Village, the captain enjoys 10% of the profits from all fish caught.

There is a fishing boat fishing for shrimps in Qixing Bay. It was the same fishing boat that left early last night due to strong wind and waves.

After seeing the fleet coming.

He was frightened on the spot and cursed with a dark face: "Isn't it good to make a fortune in silence? Call so many ships over." (End of Chapter)
