Since he had caught it, Zhao Qin would not let it go. He did not need to consider whether it could survive or not. He just threw it into the refrigerator.

I continued fishing and soon caught another red fish, which weighed about 15 to 18 kilograms. This was strange. How could there be so many red fish in this sea area?

When he pulled up the third fish, Zhao Qin simply put away his rod and stopped fishing.

It's hard to sell this thing when I bring it back. Even Chen Dong dislikes it. I can only pickle it into salted fish and keep it for later consumption.

It was almost noon now, and he pulled a black porgy from the live tank and began to kill the fish.

After killing the fish, put it in the pot, fry it slightly on both sides, then add water and boil it, add two slices of ginger, and wait until the soup turns milky white.

Zhao Qin took the fish out and put it aside, then started to cook the noodles, then beat in the eggs. The braised meat was already cut, so it could be eaten directly after heating.

When the noodles are cooked, sprinkle some green vegetables on top, then take out the cutlery and serve three large bowls.

At this time, Ah He came on board with a small bucket, "Brother, there's not much left. I only have about five or six kilograms, and I think Brother Ping's is about the same."

Zhao Qin took a look at what he had picked, then simply cleaned the noodle soup pot and poured some in to start cooking.

"Brother, is this delicious?" Seeing him cooking and eating, Ah He also became interested and squatted down to ask.

"Make it look like I've eaten it before, and you'll know later."

After a while, Zhao Ping came over with a small bucket. He put the bucket down and washed his hands. Then he picked up a large bowl of noodles and showed off, "Aqin, it's bland."

"The braised meat is a bit salty, so just eat it with the braised meat."

It's good enough to have something to eat, but you're still complaining about this and that. If you weren't my elder brother, I would have taken your bowl away long ago.

After cooking for just a few minutes, Zhao Qin turned off the induction cooker, opened the lid, and found that the shape and color of this thing looked exactly the same as before.

"Brother, is this really familiar?"

"It's okay, you can eat it raw, let me try it first."

No matter what kind of barnacle it is, there are not many edible parts. The head cannot be eaten, only the stem. There is a layer of hard skin on the surface of the stem, which needs to be peeled off.

It looks like a big thing, but the meat in your mouth is not even the size of a fingernail, just like eating melon seeds.

"Is it delicious?" Ah He asked with his eyes wide open. Zhao Ping also took one and looked at it. He was not in a hurry to eat it, but cast his eyes on Zhao Qin.

Waiting for him to speak, if he said it didn't taste good, the two of them probably wouldn't even bother trying it.

"It's OK. It's sweet and tender. It has a crab flavor. It has a small amount of sea water in it, so it's slightly salty."

It was indeed not bad, but in Zhao Qin's opinion, the food from hell was so expensive that it was a bit exaggerated.

Anyway, instead of spending two or three hundred yuan per pound to buy this, he might as well buy some big crabs, take some time to take out the meat, and then eat it slowly with a spoon.

It is said to be fresh and sweet, and tastes a bit like a cross between crab and shellfish.

If we really want to know why this thing is expensive, it is probably because it is rare and difficult to pick.

"It's not that delicious." Ah He tasted one and muttered.

Zhao Ping's evaluation was just two words, "Not bad."

"Hurry up and eat. It will be almost time to draw the lottery after you finish eating." Zhao Qin urged after the food tasting session.

The three of them each held a large bowl and began to slurp noodles.

Mixed with fish soup noodles, although it is a bit clumpy, it still can't hide its deliciousness.

The three of them finished the 500-gram tube of noodles, plus more than a pound of marinade, six eggs, and a black sea bream.

After eating, no one was so full that they couldn't move.

"Brother, there are a lot of fish in there, and some of them are jumping." Ah He climbed up to the platform and took a look, then said excitedly.

"Well, the water has become muddy. We dug the right hole today." Zhao Ping was also quite happy.

Zhao Qin didn't go upstairs. He was washing dishes. These two guys didn't care about cooking or washing. I really missed Achen at this time.

After a while, the pump made a squeaking sound. Ah He went down to the bottom of the pit first and moved the pump head to the deep water area.

Seeing that the back of a fish was already exposed, he started to catch it.

"Fuck, why is it a red snapper?" I thought it was a sea bass, but after finally catching one, I found out it was a red snapper.

Zhao Qin stood on the platform and scratched his head. "I just caught three. It's strange. Why are there so many red snappers here?"

"Could it be that the fish cage nearby has leaked?" Zhao Ping pointed out a possibility. There are no wild red gu, and their appearance in large numbers here seems to be the only explanation.

Ah He caught three in a row, all red snappers, the small ones weighed three or four kilograms, and the big ones weighed seven or eight kilograms.

If it is really farmed, then we will suffer a huge loss because it has reached the specifications for being shipped out of the box and sold.

"Ah He, there is a beard showing over there, it's a lobster." Zhao Qin pointed behind Ah He and said.

"Brother, there is more than one. There is also one in the cracks over there."

At this time, the water had been pumped out almost completely. Zhao Qin turned off the pump on the platform and looked at the two people fishing below. He scratched his head again.

This pit does have hidden treasures, but there are quite a few red ancient ones in sight. What's going on?

After a while, he pulled up the first bucket of fish, which weighed thirty or forty kilograms of red snapper. If all of them were this stuff, then this pit would be a waste of time.

Fortunately, there were a lot of other fish in the pit. Lobster saw several of them and wanted to help catch them.

"Aqin, there is a grouper, it looks like a rat grouper." Zhao Ping said excitedly.

"Oh, that's rare, big brother, catch it, and we won't be short of vegetables for the Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow."

About ten minutes later, another bucket of fish was pulled up. Half of the fish in this bucket were red snappers, and the rest were other fish, including good fish like grouper and grouper.

However, what disappointed Zhao Qin a little was that there was no black hair fish, which was the real delicacy.

There was no need to catch any fish that were too small, and even Shi Jiugong didn't bother to search for them. The two of them spent the next period of time looking for lobsters.

Two years ago, this pit caught more than ten kilograms of lobsters. This time, it was estimated that the number would not be much different. In a short time, seven or eight were caught.

The big ones weighed more than one pound, the small ones weighed more than half a pound, and of course there were even smaller ones. Without Zhao Qin saying anything, the two of them threw them into the pit again.

After searching for another half an hour, they found more than ten lobsters and a few red flower crabs. Only then did they stop.

After pulling the two out of the pit, Zhao Qin turned the pump around and turned it on. There were still a lot of small fish in the pit, and the little water left in it had now turned into mud.

If we don't pump some more water in and just wait for the tide to rise, those little fish will probably be choked to death.

After pumping for more than ten minutes, he finally turned off the pump. Then, he put one foot on the platform and the other on the boat, and used his own strength to move the pump onto the boat.

"Brother, let's stop fishing and go home?"

Looking at the harvest, Zhao Ping was quite satisfied. "Okay, let's go home. By the way, what should we do with these red antiques? Sell them?"

"There's nothing good to sell, Ah He. Go back and give some to your father-in-law's family, Lao Zhu's family, and Lao Peng's family. Then ask your brother Bao and brother Wu's family if they want any.

If you want, each family can get two or three and take them home to pickle. They are good.

As for the other fish, we'll divide them up when we get back."

"There's nothing good to share. Let Ah He take some. I'll definitely spend the holiday with you." Zhao Ping said.

Ah He packed up his things, then rowed the boat, turned the rudder and started heading home. It was only a little after three o'clock, and this place was not far from home, so it would only take more than an hour to get home.
