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

"Damn it, how come you have such a good product!"

The old cat's exclamation frightened Zhao Qin.

On the other hand, Zhuzhu on one side hurriedly asked: "Brother Cat, we are just guessing what kind of fish this is. It doesn't look like Chunzi."

The old cat picked up one tail and looked at it carefully, making sure that he was right. Then he asked with a smile, "Have you ever heard of Baihua Gum, one of the eight delicacies of the sea?"

"I'll go, you said this is Baihuayu."

Of course Zhao Qin has heard of Baihua gum, which is one of the five famous gums, along with bird's nest and shark's fin.

As for how much it's worth, it's beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The dried goods store where Zhao Qin bought specialties for Yu Fake and Liu Zhongyu last time sold flower gum, which was farmed. About 40 heads would be sold for 7600 yuan per pound.

Isinglass must be judged by its quality. The so-called quality has its own explanation.

First of all, you need to look at the size, that is, how many heads per kilogram. The bigger it is, the more valuable it is.

Next comes the species and place of origin. The price of isinglass from different fish is different, and the price of the same fish from different places of origin can sometimes be quite different.

Then there’s the thickness. The thicker, the better the quality.

Of course, there is a big difference between old and new glue. The older the glue, the more valuable it is.

Finally, there are texture, dryness, and overall appearance, which are all one of the criteria for measurement.

"White fish? I've never seen anything like this before. It only costs a few yuan per pound." Ah Chen muttered.

There are at least three or four kinds of fish called white fish, ranging from marine fish to freshwater fish. The local people call it a very cheap small fish in shallow sea. It is normal for Ah Chen to see people selling it.

Many white croakers and kingfishes look alike, and you can't tell them apart without dissection.

"This Baihuayu is different from the one you saw. I can't tell you what its scientific name is. Our local name is Red Jacket."

Red Jacket and Hong Wo are local names. Its scientific name is Yuanding Huanggu. Its common names vary from place to place, including Bai Nai, Golden Threaded Salmon, and White Flower Fish.

It can be regarded as a cousin of the well-known large yellow croaker.

"Everyone should pay attention when dividing. They should be divided into four specifications, less than one catty, one to two catties, two to five catties, and more than five catties. When they are sold, the prices will be different."

Seeing that everyone was sorting too roughly, the old cat quickly reminded them.

"Brother Cat, what's the price of this thing?" Zhao Qin couldn't help but ask.

"I haven't sold it before. I don't know. I caught it by boat more than ten years ago. It cost about ten yuan at that time."

Zhao Qin rolled his eyes, he said it so lively, he still didn't know the price after a long time, it was just a joke.

But thinking that more than ten years ago, it could be sold for more than ten yuan, now it must be forty or fifty. No, this fish maw is so valuable, the price will definitely be higher.

This net, excluding groceries, weighs more than 3000 kilograms of fish, which is another one or two hundred thousand. It’s cool.

"Zhuzhu, you and Ajie set the net first, and the rudder direction has been adjusted." Old Mao explained.

No amount of fish could withstand the busy work of the six of them, and the deck was emptied again in less than two hours.

"Ah Chen, let's cook. Let's also try the taste of the five famous gums."

Ah Chen smiled, picked a few small ones, and went to the side to get busy.

Soon after the meal started, Zhao Qin tasted the texture. Kingfish has its own aroma and unique taste. The meat quality of this fish is also good, but in terms of taste, it is still slightly inferior to large yellow croaker.

As for the texture of the isinglass, it was extremely sticky to the teeth and I didn’t notice any difference after eating it.

After the meal, everyone squinted on the deck for a while. Zhao Qin opened the system curiously and found that his 81 points of luck had been fucked to only 23 points due to the storage of the white fish.

He didn't care much, it was best to clear it and get himself a net of large yellow croakers.

So far on this trip, he has not seen even a shadow of a large yellow croaker, which makes him quite depressed. Thinking about the fact that the cabin is full of wild large yellow croakers,

50 tons, how much is it worth? You can earn a big ship in one trip. Hey, when did you consider money by comparing it with a ship?

Gee, so greedy.

After squinting for a while, around four o'clock in the afternoon, I started the second network of the day.

This net actually pulled in a net of sea carp, which seemed to weigh nearly two tons.

After all the nets were put into storage, Xia Shouzhu brought everyone the first bad news that was not bad. The living cabin exploded first.

This ship has three live tanks, and the stock is said to be sufficient, but one of the live tanks contains live grouper fish, and it is impossible to mix other live tanks to prevent dead fish.

In the other medium-sized live cabin, there are Pipa shrimps and Nine-section shrimps. There will be no problem with this.

What exploded was the living cabin containing the shrimp.

Shrimp Girl was almost worthless after she died, so they were all put in baskets with net bags and thrown into the living cabin together with the baskets, but now it was obvious that they could no longer be packed.

"Brother Aqin, there's almost enough in the cold storage." After putting the last basket of sea carp in the storage, Achen also went up to the deck and said.

Zhao Qin nodded and immediately came to the wheelhouse. After discussing with his elder brother and Lao Mao for a while, he decided to return immediately and pull one or two more nets on the way.

When they heard about the return trip, everyone sighed and did not appear very happy.

A day at sea can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in income. For each of them, they can get at least two to three thousand dollars. Where can I find such an opportunity?

As long as we return this time, we will definitely not be able to go to sea again years ago.

The net was still lowered into the sea, and the return journey started with the net in tow.

Zhao Qin returned to the wheelhouse again, and the three of them discussed the return route. It was now around six o'clock in the afternoon, and the return trip would take about 14 hours.

It's not that they went deep into the sea, but they were constantly moving. It was estimated that it was only a 6-hour voyage from the shore, but it was far away from their home dock.

"It just so happens that unloading cargo during the day is more convenient than at night." Zhao Ping comforted himself. He was also depressed about returning early.

"Well, we got home a day early, so we don't have to queue at the pier." The expression on Old Mao's face was indifferent. Although he had regrets, he could handle his emotions very well.

It’s not like the ship or the net is broken, and you have no choice but to return, or you have to return after the cabin explodes, there is nothing to be depressed about.

Zhao Qin was recording the income of the last two networks and didn't care what the two were talking about.

"Brother Cat, you need to rest first. My eldest brother and I will drive first. You can take over in the middle of the night."

The old cat nodded and left the wheelhouse.

Zhao Qin once again discussed buying a boat with his eldest brother, "Brother, if you and Ah He think I am taking a big step, I can buy this boat alone."

Zhao Ping hesitated and said: "Buy it, I will share another one, and I will not participate in your third ship."

"Okay, then I'll discuss it with the old lady when I get home. No problem. I think I'll pay the deposit before the year."

"Well, if it's confirmed, our deposit will be directly deducted from this trip's dividends."

After the two discussed it, Zhao Qin informed everyone to rest.

At around 10:30, Zhao Qin asked his eldest brother to drive the boat while he started cooking. Because Achen and Zhuzi were around, he rarely did anything.

After the meal is ready, everyone usually gets up, eats first, and then sets up the net.

The operating area of ​​this net is very far, so the cargo is very miscellaneous and the weight is not light, at least two tons.

We caught five or six large yellow croakers that we hadn't seen for a long time in this net. One of them actually weighed more than 7 pounds, which made everyone very happy.

After sorting, the cold storage was completely full, and there was no need to launch the nets anymore. We put away the nets and went on our way with all our strength.

The two brothers Zhao Qin went into the cabin to catch up on their sleep.

The light-colored yellow croaker inside is the collective name of the Yuanding yellow croaker.
