Chapter 113 Watching People Being Sweeped Away by the Waves
Deng Zhaocai also stretched his neck over and took a closer look:
"I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, I thought it was a black porgy! The lips of this fish are thicker than those of a black porgy, and the color is a little darker than that of a black porgy, just like black cow dung, isn't this a cow dung porgy?!"
"You just realized it? The cow dung seabream looks similar to the black seabream, but is much rarer than the black seabream. Some unscrupulous businessmen who give birth to sons without anus use black seabream to impersonate cow dung seabream to deceive those who don't know, and they always succeed! Ah Cai, you have to fix the look in your eyes. It would be hilarious if a fisherman were deceived one day!" Li Liang teased.
Deng Zhaocai retracted his neck and looked at the bright red red snapper in his bucket, but it didn’t smell so good anymore.
After all, although the bull dung sea bream is black and dark, it is not cheap and is one or two cents more expensive than the red sea bream.
Red snapper sells for one dollar, while bull dung sea bream can be sold for one dollar and one and a half.
Compared to the black sea bream, which looks extremely similar, the price of the bull dung sea bream is twice that of the black sea bream.
Then, the three of them caught several more flathead bream. It was getting a bit out of control. It seemed that there were really many fish in the white foam belt in the wind and waves, and most of them were bream.
The only drawback is that although the flat sea bream also has the word "bream" in its name, it is relatively at the bottom of the sea bream family. Its price cannot be compared with that of the black sea bream, let alone the red sea bream and the bull dung sea bream.
There were six or seven fish in each of the three people's buckets. At least this trip "against the wind" was not in vain.
In fact, those who came out "against the wind" to look for fish were not just the seven or eight people sitting on the seawall fishing. On the beach in the distance, there were also a few men and women carrying buckets, pliers and other things, fishing in the sea against the wind and waves.
When the waves are big, fish, shrimps, shells and the like may be washed onto the beach. Compared to normal fishing, the chances of catching a lot of fish are much higher!
However, the beach in the distance no longer belonged to their village, but to the neighboring Dayu Village. Liang Ziqiang looked at the men and women from afar and did not recognize all of them.
After a while, Li Liang's fishing rod moved again. This time, when the fishing rod came up, Deng Zhaocai's eyes widened: "Is this... a black wife? Damn Liangzi, you're going big, isn't this more valuable than a bull dung bream?!"
Liang Ziqiang also looked over. He saw that the fish that Li Liang had caught was ugly, with a pointed snout, a lower jaw longer than the upper jaw, a large mouth, small teeth, and a black stripe on the outer side of the upper jaw. The back and sides of the fish were gray-brown with irregular black spots. There was a sharp spine at the rear end of the dorsal ridge of the head.
The official name of this fish is actually black carp, also known as black village, black head, black stone perch, and black wife. Of course, fishermen do like to call it "black wife" verbally.
"This fish is indeed a few cents more expensive than the bull dung sea bream." Liang Ziqiang continued.
If I estimate, it is only 20-30 cents more expensive, and can be sold for 1.45 yuan. After all, this fish is actually a bit similar to grouper in terms of habits and taste, and can even be said to be a member of the grouper family. Maybe it is really because it looks a bit ugly that the price is higher than ordinary fish, but cheaper than grouper.
"Liangzi, this fish probably came to find you on purpose. Yuan Xiaomei just got engaged to a guy from another village, and this evil wife came to your door right away!" Deng Zhaocai teased Li Liang.
Liang Ziqiang was shocked at the time and quietly looked at Li Liang's face. Best friends are best friends, but it's better not to say some nonsense. Deng Zhaocai's words were a bit irresponsible.
Li Liang had been in love with Yuan Xiaomei for so many years, and he was really stubborn. Unfortunately, the girl's parents looked down on him, and a few days ago, Yuan Xiaomei, under the decision of her parents, got engaged to a man from Jitou Village.
One is Li Liang and the other is Lin Baixian. Both of them have been thinking about Yuan Xiaomei since they were young. However, Yuan Xiaomei didn't marry anyone and was going to marry to another village.
The day before yesterday, Liang Ziqiang saw that Lin Baixian's eyes became puffy, as if he had cried secretly, but Liang Ziqiang didn't say a word about it.
Deng Zhaocai really pissed off Li Liang, and Li Liang almost pushed him off the seawall: "Nimrod! Believe it or not, I'll chop you into pieces and make them into big pieces to feed the fish!"
Deng Zhaocai also noticed that Li Liang's face was not right, so he quickly stopped talking: "Catch the fish, catch the fish! Learn from Brother Qiang and make a fortune quietly. Damn, how come this fish is so big!"
Just then, Liang Ziqiang's buoy sank rapidly. He raised his hand and pulled up a big fat fish.
The two people who were arguing immediately focused their attention on him:
"Splendens? Damn, this must be five or six pounds. I didn't expect that such a big fish could be caught in this white foam belt!"
The anger that was almost ignited just dissipated into thin air.
Liang Ziqiang smiled and said, "It's a pity that it's a sea bass. If it was a black sea bream or a red sea bream, it would be more interesting."
Li Liang disagreed and retorted: "What's wrong with the spotted sea bass? It's not a cheap fish like goby. It's also 40 cents a pound. How can your fish cost more than 2 yuan?"
As he was talking, Li Liang caught another fish, this time a golden bream. Golden bream is also a type of flat bream, but it sells better than ordinary flat bream.
As if they had made an appointment, Li Liang had just taken down the golden thread fish and put it into the bucket when Deng Zhaocai next to him shouted "there is a fish", and when he pulled it up, he was stunned.
This fish is ugly, with gray-brown sides and irregular black markings.
Isn't this the same "black wife" that Li Liang had caught before? Deng Zhaocai shouted excitedly halfway, but suddenly he fell silent.
How could Li Liang let him go? He took revenge on the spot:
"Congratulations, Ah Cai. Take it home and we'll get married tonight!"
Liang Ziqiang glanced at Deng Zhaocai's constipated face and managed to hold back his laughter. Could this be the legendary retribution in this life? Fortunately, he was still able to keep his emotions under control, otherwise the next gun would be pointed at him. Because two minutes later, when he raised his hand, well, it was also an ugly, black wife!
The three of them were silent now. For a moment, they were extremely focused and silence was golden. The only thing that passed by their ears was the wind...
Flathead snappers were caught one after another. During this period, Liang Ziqiang also caught a yellow-legged sea bream, which was a small surprise.
The morning passed slowly, and I looked in the bucket and saw more than twenty fish of various shapes and sizes, mostly sea bream.
It seems that fishing for white foam on windy and choppy days can yield good results! Liang Ziqiang was about to catch a few more fish before going home for lunch. At this moment, the fishing rod sank deeply again.
He was delighted. He didn't expect that when he was about to finish his work, he would receive a big gift. Could it be another big sea bass weighing five or six pounds? Just as he was about to pick up the fishing rod, he suddenly heard several people shouting at the same time.
The first second the sound rang out, Liang Ziqiang had an illusion that someone nearby had caught something big.
However, in a moment, he discovered that there was something wrong with the sound.
It was a cry of terror, anxiety and distress.
The three of them ignored their fishing rods and looked towards the place where the sound came from. At the same time, several other villagers who were doing "white foam fishing" on the seawall also stood up from their stools and tilted their heads to look into the distance.
On the beach in the distance, a woman from Dayu Village probably saw something good in the sea water and tried to pick it up by the water. She was knocked into the water by a big wave at the edge.
When Liang Ziqiang and the others looked up, the woman had just been knocked down and was trying to struggle to stand up from the waves, but the next second she was covered by another wave.
Unfortunately, the people from her village who were going to the sea together were all far away from her. Those from Dayu Village who found something wrong and screamed tried to run towards her, but as they got closer, the woman was swept farther and farther away by the waves.
Liang Ziqiang and other men from Changwang Village subconsciously put down their fishing rods and ran quickly to the coast of Dayu Village.
After running a few dozen meters and looking at the gradually disappearing black spot in the deep sea, they suddenly realized that even the people in Dayu Village couldn't catch up, so what could they do from such a long distance? Even if they rushed to the small pier to sail, there would be absolutely no hope of saving people. What's more, it was impossible to sail in such a sea with such big waves.
The beach in Dayu Village was already in chaos. Several men from Pomwang Village who were fishing all stopped in their tracks, deciding not to cause more trouble. They returned to the embankment quietly.
