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

"I'll go, what's going on?"

"Sai, your mother, why are you always like this?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the net poured out.

Surprisingly, the water here is shallow and there is not a lot of garbage. Two-thirds of this net is full of seafood, but this seafood looks too scary.

Because they are all small fish, and they are not of the same species. My scalp feels numb just looking at them. How long does it take to sort them out?

"Stop looking and do it quickly." As Chen said, he brought a few baskets and squatted down to pick them out.

Everyone just realized that no matter what, this was nearly two tons of sea cargo, and we couldn’t just dump it back into the sea just because it was difficult to sort.

The old cat ran over and took a look, with a mixture of joy and sadness on his face.

After all, this net only lasted less than two hours, and it was always in shallow water. We didn't have high hopes.

I didn't expect such a good harvest, so I should be happy, but the sight of this bunch of small fish will make anyone's scalp numb.

"Aqin, the water here is 60 meters deep. Should we lower the net into the sea?" the old cat shook his head and asked.

"Go on." Seeing the old cat leave, Zhao Qin smiled bitterly at everyone and said, "I originally wanted to bring some fish up so that everyone can have a snack for lunch, but now it seems that we will have to work hungry."

The weather is too hot, so it is impossible for everyone to put down what they are doing and go eat first, so they can only find ways to seize the time to sort.

"Brother Aqin, let me go get some crushed ice and put it on top, otherwise it will stink if I don't finish dividing it." Achen's heart became more and more careful.

Ah Si ran to the side and unplugged all the cooking appliances.

"Brother, why are there so many horsemouth fish?" Ah He picked up a slightly larger one and looked at it to make sure he saw it correctly, and then threw it into the basket on the side.

The horsemouth fish he mentioned was not the kind found in freshwater, but it looked a bit similar.

The scientific name of this kind of makou is yellow crucian carp, which is a fish of the order Herringidae. It has many aliases, such as makou front, hairy mouth fish, yellow crucian carp, etc.

Generally, the body length is about 15 centimeters, and the standard weight is only about one tael. Those of two taels are considered big. This is not a fish born every year, and its lifespan can reach four years.

The fish meat itself is very fresh, but there are many small bones in the fish, so it is not very popular among locals.

Moreover, the best time to eat yellow crucian carp is in spring, when the spring buds are blooming and the yellow crucian carp arrives. Eat it fried, and it will make your mouth full of flavor. There is a proverb for this.

The horse's mouth is thinner this season.

After seeing the popular science of the system and the assessed purchase price of 2.2 yuan per catty, Zhao Qin suddenly didn’t want to sort. Grandma, my own time is so cheap.

Of course, I’m kidding if I don’t pick it up, after all, it’s income.

"Brother Aqin, what kind of fish is this?" Achen picked up a fish and asked curiously. It was also a small fish. If you didn't look closely, you would have thought it was Shi Jiugong, but if you look closely, the difference is still very big.

"I have one here too." Ah You also picked up one and took a closer look. He didn't recognize the fish either.

"There are quite a few down there, just keep talking and don't stop holding your hands." A Si scolded his brother.

"When did you see my hand stop? I've already picked half of the basket. How much can you do? It's you who have to hold on." Ayou immediately retorted,

The age difference between the two brothers is less than two years, and they probably grew up pinching each other.

So it's very interesting. As long as Ah Si says something, Ah You will definitely follow.

"Aqin, if you don't say you're lazy, why don't you tell our father when I get back?"

"You will complain to dad. You are really capable."

When he was in a relaxed mood, Zhao Qin quite enjoyed watching the two brothers banter, but when he was annoyed, he was really annoyed. He even thought about splitting the two brothers into two ships.

"This is a back-gnathed fish. There are more of them on the side of the platform bend. It's not common here. I heard that this fish likes to dig holes, just like the jumping fish. It's strange that this net can catch so many."

No one in the local area calls it that, because it is rare, the water in the living area is very shallow, and it has the habit of digging holes, so it is classified as a type of tidal flat fish.

In fact, there is a big difference. The posterior jaw fish does not come ashore.

What’s more interesting is that this kind of fish is an oral brood fish, which means that the eggs are not hatched in the fish’s belly or arranged in a fixed water area, but are held in the mouth of the male fish until they turn into small fish.

In other words, every back-gnathed fish is born in the mouth of its father, so their mouths appear very large compared with their bodies. Some people also call them big-mouthed fish.

Although this kind of fish is rare, it is not expensive. It is one of the favorite prey of grouper, so in some Southeast Asian countries,

Some fishermen will first dive into the water and find caves to catch this fish. After catching it, they will use it as bait to catch more valuable groupers.

The valuation given by the system is 8 yuan per pound, which is also pitifully cheap.

The main force of this net is horse mouth, and the mixed fish included in it are not only dewfish but also sweet fish. This kind of fish is quite good, with good taste and high value.

It seems that there is also a freshwater inlet near where the net was just pulled, because this fish lives at the junction of saltwater and freshwater.

Then there is Shi Jiugong. This thing is not only found in the coastal waters, but also in the waters where they fish, with a water depth of nearly 200 meters. It is a very widely distributed fish.

Other than these, it's just crabs and shrimps.

After churning for a long time, there were only five or six big fish, one of which weighed nearly ten kilograms. Lying on the deck and compared with these small fish, it looked like a giant.

They all worked under the bright sun for nearly four hours to sort these small fishes.

In terms of income, this network is worth a few thousand yuan at most, which is not cost-effective.

Ah Si is relatively practical. Apart from occasionally giving Ah a few words, he usually doesn't talk much on the boat. After seeing the buckets and baskets packed away, he started to pick up the water gun to wash the deck again.

"Let Ah You come, go and cook the meal." Zhao Qin straightened up and said while walking slowly on the deck.

Ah Si agreed and handed the water gun to Ah You.

"Ah Chen, go pick out some big sweet fish and kill them. Just steam them."

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone was hungry, but no matter how hungry they were, they couldn't eat together. This was Zhao Qin's creed.

Ah He took out a few cans of beer from the refrigerator and distributed one can to each of them. Zhao Qin prepared this before going to sea. It was too hot today.

Beer not only quenches thirst and heat, but also relieves fatigue, which is quite good.

"Did you get it for Brother Cat?"

"Took it."

Zhao Qin had no desire to speak anymore, so he opened the beer and took a sip.

Going out to sea in the summer is very difficult. Their trawler cannot install a sunscreen net, because the crane has to be extended to work on it, and erecting the canopy will have an impact.

The cabin doesn't get much sun, but it's so stuffy that it's not as good as the deck. Although it gets some sun, there's a sea breeze.

The only place with good ventilation and shade was the wheelhouse, but that place was too small to squeeze in these several people.

Oh, what evil have you done? A billionaire, sitting in the wind and sun on a boat, as tired as a dog.

I can't help but complain that I am also a bitch.

"Aqin, let's eat." Asi's words interrupted his random thoughts. The little thought he just had was instantly put aside. A bowl of rice will solve everything.

If you still have random thoughts, have another bowl.

"Come on, let's go."

"Cheers to a great harvest on the next net."

A few people sat on the slightly hot deck, holding the beer in their hands and touching it gently.

Then add a piece of sweet fish that is caught, killed and steamed. Who says you are cheap? This kind of life also has different fun.
