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

Zhao Qin naturally knew the situation in the cold storage. Lao Mao and Zhao Ping were both well-connected, which was why the three of them agreed to call it a day before nine o'clock tonight.

There are still two days of good weather, but based on the current harvest, if we pull three nets in one day tomorrow, we will probably have to go back.

Zhao Qin is actually a little anxious. The current situation is like someone telling you that as much money as you can hold in a pile of money on the ground is yours, but you don’t have pockets and can’t hold as much. Even a person has to be anxious.

No, Madam, go to the shipyard when you get back and order another boat of the same type.

"It's okay. It's really full. Let's go back. It's okay." Although Zhao Qin was equally depressed, he still persuaded everyone with a smile on his face.

"This trip was very good. Almost all of them were valuable fish. I guess... it should be better than the last trip." The old cat wanted to say twice as much as the last trip, but he felt that this was too big a statement and was afraid that he would get lost in the end. tongue, so I temporarily changed my mouth.

Everyone laughed together. It must be better than the last trip, but how much better it was. We didn’t add fish carefully, so we didn’t know.

Zhao Qin did have a rough idea, and he recorded every check. This was to get to the dock so that Chen Dong could contact him for shipment in advance.

"Okay, Ah Chen and I will stay on duty tonight, so you can just sleep." Zhao Ping said.

"Okay, I'll go to bed first and get up around two o'clock to change my shift." After the old cat finished speaking, he raised his glass and touched it with Zhao Ping.

Everyone was talking, laughing, eating and drinking. In less than an hour, dinner was over and they began to rest.

Zhao Qin woke up around four o'clock in the morning. More than six hours of sleep was enough for him.

First, he walked around the deck, and then came to the wheelhouse. At this moment, he had turned into an old cat on duty. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and said: "You are young and should be very sleepy. Why do you wake up so early?"

"Actually, I can sleep for another 12 hours, but I have something on my mind."

Zhao Qin sat aside, picked up his little notebook, and began to review the harvest of each net during this trip.

Seeing this, Lao Mao also stepped forward to check. With the rough data, it seemed more intuitive, "Aqin, it must be more than two million, right?"

"Brother Cat, enlarge the layout." Zhao Qin replied with a smile.

Ajie, who was on night duty together, saw the two of them settling accounts, so he took the initiative to walk out of the wheelhouse and inspect the fishing boat.

Seeing him leaving, Zhao Qin asked Lao Mao, "Brother Cat, I plan to order another ship like this. What do you think about letting Brother Zhuzi be the captain?"

"Don't let your elder brother come?"

Zhao Qin was stunned, as if he had ignored his elder brother.

I originally thought of letting my eldest brother take over the small boat, but now it seems that the small boat has no meaning anymore, and the big boat is more enjoyable.

Besides, seeing how energetic the eldest brother is, he probably won’t want to take over the boat again.

As for the small boat, even if it is not used for the time being, Zhao Qin has no intention of selling it. During the fishing season, the small boat can be used for longline fishing.

Then there is the project that is about to be launched in the village. Small fishing boats will definitely be used a lot, so it is impossible to sell them.

"That's right. Then let my eldest brother take over the second ship first, and then let Brother Zhuzi stand alone when there is a third ship."

"Don't be too eager for quick success and instant gain. Zhuzi is a good person, but there are still some gaps in professionalism. The time with the ship is too short. I estimate that it will take at least two more years.

Although your eldest brother has not been with the ship for a long time, he is still better than Zhuzhu. When the two ships work together and take care of each other, there will be no big problem. "

Zhao Qin nodded and approved Lao Mao's plan. After personal discussion, he would always make up for what he couldn't see.

He never talks too much, and he will naturally listen to what others say is right.

"By the way, Brother Cat, are you familiar with a maintenance technician? I think we have one on board."

"I... came to ask." Old Mao wanted to say that he was familiar with the maintenance master on Lao Cai's ship and had good skills, but in the end he did not intend to poach his old employer.

He is allowed to be unkind to Lao Cai, but he cannot be unjust.

This time, without waiting for notice, everyone got up one after another. Zhao Qin did not chat with the old cat, but went to the deck to wash up.

He touched his beard and forgot to bring a razor this time. It was a personal item and he couldn't borrow it from others.

After everything was done, Zhuzi started to make breakfast. Old Mao had already started the boat. After he was far away from the island, he notified everyone to put down the net.

When the net is off and into the sea, everyone starts to have breakfast, which is usually noodles in the early morning.

When the noodles are about to be cooked, sprinkle a handful of green vegetables on them, and when they are out of the pan, sprinkle some dried shrimp skins to make sure the noodles don't taste too good.

Zhao Qin was bored and had slept well last night. After breakfast, he took out his fishing rod and started trolling.

His luck score today was 81 points, which was considered the best day on this trip so far.

Not bad, I caught a fish in a short while, but when I pulled it up, I saw that it was actually a cigarette boy. I disliked it so much that I just released it, and keeping it was a waste of cold storage space.

Then I fished again, and the second hook was even weirder. I actually caught a small shark. I unhooked it and threw it away.

The third hook finally became normal, and I caught a sea bass, which weighed about five or six pounds. Fortunately, I could use it to make soup at noon.

Although the price of seabass is not high now, the taste is absolutely unparalleled, especially the soup, which is milky white, fresh and sweet.

Feeling that today was not a good day for fishing, he handed the fishing rod to Xia Yingjie, who was already eager to try, and came to the deck again to pester Xia Shouzhu to teach him kung fu.

Well, as a martial arts person, you must never leave your fist.

At about ten o'clock, Zhao Ping and Lao Mao were both in the wheelhouse, notifying everyone through the loudspeaker to set up the net. Then everyone picked up their previous idle behavior, those who set up the net, and those who prepared the baskets.

The net bag was hoisted to the deck. Judging from its size, this net could only be considered ordinary, weighing about two tons.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. Finally, Zhao Qin stepped forward, pulled the rope and said to everyone: "I will make this net."

As the boom shook, the fish landed on the deck. The fish were still alive, and their tails slapped against the deck, making an evil snapping sound.

"Chunzi?" Xia Shouzhu took a look and said uncertainly.

The fish belongs to the family Lithocephalidae. This can be determined at a glance. But first of all, we rule out that it is not a large yellow croaker. There are many sizes, usually two or three pounds per fish, and the larger ones are about ten pounds per fish, so it is even more unlikely to be a small yellow croaker. .

The body is relatively wide, so it cannot be an owl, so Zhuzi thinks it is Haruko at first glance.

"Unlike Chunzi, this tail is not golden, but rather reddish. Has Chunzi mutated?" Zhao Qin scratched his head. He couldn't recognize it, mainly because he had never seen it before.

This thing is almost the same as Chunzi. The mouth is also yellow, but the scales on the body and the tail are a little different. Not only the fins are red, but even the scales on the fish body are yellow and slightly red.

"Let's work first and ask Brother Cat later."

Following his words, everyone began to squat down and sort them. The first one Zhao Qin picked up weighed nearly ten kilograms. While he was observing there, he heard the old cat exclaim, "Fuck, what?" This is such a good product!”

……

PS: There are only four updates today. Let’s sort out the follow-up outline. The Chinese New Year is coming next.

Well, what I’m talking about is that Zhao Qin is celebrating the New Year in the book.
