Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

After a night's driving, we are already far away from the shore, and there are very few fishing boats nearby.

Generally speaking, when traveling to distant waters, two or more ships usually travel together. In this way, even if one ship has an emergency, there will be another ship to carry out the rescue.

But there is only one fishing boat like theirs in the village that is over 20 meters tall. Some families have shares in larger ones, but those are almost all ocean-going boats.

Zhao Qin himself was selfish, fearing that an extra ship would take away part of his luck, so he never mentioned partnering with others.

The weather is very good today. The sun is high in the sky after eight o'clock, the sea breeze is gentle, and it is extremely cool.

Zhao Qin wore his iconic straw hat. To avoid the sea breeze blowing away the hat, he also pulled the elastic of the hatband up to his chin.

I am leaning on the bow of the boat at the moment. I only slept for two hours last night. I have about an hour left after I finish my work, just in time to catch up on my sleep.

The old cat is next to him, but this guy is quite stubborn. Even if he insists on wearing a hat, he still looks like a fisherman.

Zhao Qin didn't understand. Whether or not he wore a hat had anything to do with whether he was a fisherman or not.

The reason why I didn't go back to sleep in the cabin was because the cabin was a bit stuffy during the day and was not as comfortable as outside.

Ah Chen accompanied Zhao Ping in the helm cabin, and almost everyone else was leaning on the deck, leaning on or lying down.

When Zhao Qin woke up, he found Lao Mao smoking a cigarette and thinking about something next to him. He didn't bother him. How can a middle-aged man show his maturity if he doesn't take a deep breath occasionally.

He turned over and walked to the back and found that Chen Yuce and Xia Yingjie had taken out their fishing rods at some point and were fishing.

"Did you catch it?"

"I pulled a sea wolf weighing more than ten kilograms. It's so strong." Xia Yingjie looked excited.

"Brother Aqin, are you fishing?" Chen Yuce asked.

Just as Zhao Qin was about to refuse, Ah Chen suddenly called him, pointing to the water and saying, "Brother Ah Qin, look, what's floating over there?"

Zhao Qin's back felt numb instinctively, but when he saw what Ah Chen was pointing at, he breathed a sigh of relief. It looked quite big, and it shouldn't be a human.

When the old cat heard the noise, he also walked closer and took a look, with a look of disgust on his face, "Sunfish, tell Aping the boat to stay away."

Sunfish, as the name suggests, sounds unlucky, so fishermen are afraid to avoid it when they see it. In addition, almost no one in the local area eats this stuff, and it cannot be sold at all, so no one cares about it.

The scientific name of the sunfish is the sunfish. This fish can grow up to 3 tons in weight and is considered a large marine creature.

What it likes to do most is to float on the sea surface and lie on its side to bask in the sun when the weather is clear and windless, with its back side exposed out of the water, hence its name.

The reason for this, I heard, is because it is easy for other species to become parasitic on its body, and some parasites even have parasites inside them, just like matryoshka dolls, which will make it feel uncomfortable for a long time.

By floating his body on the water, he can attract seabirds to stop and eat the parasites on his body.

Another point is that this fish's reaction is very slow. When it floats on the sea, sometimes part of its body is eaten by other fish. It doesn't even know that it is still basking in the sun leisurely.

However, Zhao Qin heard that many people in Japan like to eat this kind of fish, and I can only say that the taste is really strange.

"Aqin, start the Internet cafe first, and then cook after finishing the Internet."

Zhao Qin looked at the time at 11: and nodded.

When Ajie and Ace heard that the net was about to be raised, they decisively began to pack the fishing rods.

Ah Chen and Zhu Zhu had already hung the dragline on the winch. As the winch rotated, the fishing net in the underwater layer was slowly pulled up. After a while, when the net bag came up, everyone exclaimed.

"There are so many nets."

"Mazu bless me, it must be a big fish and a good fish."

"Well, it seems that we have encountered a school of fish again. This net may be more than three tons." The old cat looked pleased.

"Whose turn is it to take action?" Zhao Qin looked at everyone and smiled.

"Me." Xia Shouzhu stepped forward unceremoniously, and after getting into full stance, he suddenly pulled away the rope, and the next moment the fish rushed to the deck.

When Zhao Qin saw the fallen piles, he was not only not happy, but also worried.

"Damn it, they are all small fish." Yes, they are all small fish. The length is not short, one fish is about 30 centimeters, but it is too thin. The body is rod-shaped, and the diameter of most of them is less than Adult thumbs are slightly thicker,

A small number of them are larger, but they are also limited. One tail is probably worth three or four or two.

The sweet fish just now was expensive, so just make it smaller. Now this thing... Hey, it seems like this fish is not bad.

Before he could pick one up and take a closer look, the old cat exclaimed excitedly, "Oh my god, it's all covered with sand points. Why are there so many sand points? This net is worth a lot of money."

"Shajian, this fish is delicious." Xia Shouzhu couldn't help shouting happily.

Sand point fish are very common. You can usually catch them by taking a pole to the pier or breakwater. Although they are very small, they don’t have any fine thorns except for the main thorn in the middle.

It is delicious and nutritious, especially suitable for steaming and feeding to children.

Because it is common, almost everyone who lives by the sea has eaten it. However, this fish does not become cheap just because it is common. On the contrary, the price has always been very good.

Shajian is a fish of the genus Juidae, and has many common names, including Shazhan, Shazhuan, Qitu, and Shashuo.

This type of fish generally does not grow very big, and is generally about one or two in size. Occasionally, you can see big ones weighing half a catty.

Just like this net, almost all of them are three or four in size, which can be regarded as a big one among the tops of the sand.

"Brother Cat, what's the current price of this fish?" Xia Yingjie didn't know much about marine fish, but seeing everyone so excited and knowing that it wasn't cheap, he asked curiously.

"I don't know much about this kind of fish, you can ask Aqin."

Zhao Qin thought for a while and said: "The purchase price at the purchase station is about 55 yuan, and it is very small. We are big, so the purchase price is estimated to be no less than 35 yuan."

He has never sold it, but he often hangs out at the Chen’s Purchasing Station and has some knowledge of the retail prices of common fish.

Normally speaking, the purchase price of fish priced at 55 yuan is about 35-40 yuan. In addition to the size of their net, he estimated that 35 yuan is definitely the lowest price.

This is also due to his character. He would rather underestimate everyone's surprise now than overestimate it now and disappoint everyone later.

However, such a large amount here, even 35 yuan per pound, made everyone overjoyed.

Excluding other groceries, this network alone has two to three tons in Shajian alone. Calculated at a conservative price of one ton, it has an income of nearly 20 yuan. What else do you need bicycles?

But there is one drawback to this thing, sorting is too troublesome.

"Ah Chen, let's cook first. We can't finish sorting until two or three o'clock."

"Aqin, let's sort first. The sun is shining now, so hurry up and put it into storage."

There is one thing that the old cat has not said yet, that is, he will starve to death if he eats a ton less.

This is a matter of philosophy between the two of them. Lao Mao has been short of money for a long time and has a large family to support, so making money is the first priority in his mind.

But Zhao Qin doesn't think so. Making money is for a better life. If you don't make money, your body will be dragged down. It's not worthwhile.

So at his insistence, Ah Chen went to cook.

But Ah Chen could also distinguish the priorities, so he simply made stewed rice, mixed some cooking oil into the rice, then picked two kinds of salted fish, pork belly, and braised vegetables, chopped two radishes, put them on top of the rice, and cooked them in one pot Braised.

The advantage of this is that you don’t have to cook the food separately, which greatly saves time and worry. The food will be cooked when the rice is cooked, and you don’t have to watch it all the time.

Sha Jian, the fish is not big and tastes good.
