Chapter 178 Go Fishing Before Daybreak
The big yellow croakers put aside their past grudges and were ready to join the fight, moving closer to Longju Ridge again.
Ready-made banknotes were flowing in from a distance, but Liang Ziqiang was looking far away eagerly. It was obvious that at this moment, he only had a special liking for the more valuable deep-sea tuna!
It is definitely impossible to drive through. He now hopes that this batch of yellow croaker can attract tuna and make them get closer and closer to the shallow sea.
In this way, I can really break the record and stay in a safe area to catch a wave of deep-sea tuna! Of course, it's just a thought. Those tuna showed no signs of moving closer to the shallow sea.
Withdrawing his gaze from the distance, he picked up the fishing net and began to scoop up a few returning fish with his backhand.
As the big yellow croakers fled, only a small portion of them returned to his boat along the same route, so this time when the net was cast, the school of fish covered was much thinner and quite scattered.
When I pulled it up, I found that each net held about 10 to 20 kilograms of fish. After pulling several nets, I harvested another 70 to 80 kilograms of large yellow croaker.
By the time they finished, it was already past lunch time and their stomachs had been rumbling for a while. Liang Ziqiang heated up some flower rolls and shrimp dumplings, gritted his teeth and killed a large yellow croaker to eat.
People in later generations couldn't afford this stuff, so how could they still not be able to afford it now...
Pure wild yellow croaker is completely naturally sweet and fresh, without any obvious saltiness. Liang Ziqiang didn't bring any onions, ginger, garlic, etc. on the boat, so it was just steamed and tasted delicious.
It tastes good, but it’s obviously not so good that it needs to be priced sky-high.
Liang Zifeng ate carelessly, not thinking there was anything special about it, and had no idea that he was eating the gold of the future...
After filling their stomachs, the two stayed in Longjuling for a while in the afternoon.
Winter floods continued, but the price was often lower than that of yellow croaker. There were no more valuable fish floods, and no earth-shattering and terrifying things like "black dragons circling and roaring like bulls" occurred.
Obviously, the truth about the "black dragon" in the deep-sea wintering grounds cracked by later experts is 100% reliable.
Except for the high summer season when this place is very vulnerable to the "dragon sucking water" phenomenon in the high temperature deep sea, it is usually as safe as any shallow sea area. At this beginning of winter, there is even less mystery and fear.
While waiting, in addition to fish, shrimp and crab also appear from time to time. Mainly, there are several waves of mantis shrimp.
Liang Ziqiang was not very enthusiastic about the mantis shrimp that made a few cents, but the slippery shrimp that appeared afterwards was different.
The slippery shrimps that usually stay on the seabed can no longer survive and begin to migrate.
This is a small group of slippery shrimps. After several consecutive nets, we caught several dozen kilograms in total.
After catching this wave of fish, the two officially closed the net. After all, this place is not close to the shore, and they have to hurry back to sell today's harvest.
When they arrived at the big pier, Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai had also just docked.
The two of them took a look at Liang Ziqiang's cabin and were surprised for a long time.
The two boats stopped together, and Li Liang came over: "Is it so easy to find the winter fishing grounds? I've been on the sea for so many times, and I only caught a few sporadic fishing grounds. Did you go to the same place as last time?"
Deng Zhaocai couldn't believe it and said, "I thought you were joking, but it turns out there is really a place like that..."
Liang Ziqiang glared at the two of them and said, "Don't make a fuss. If you have the guts, you can still go tomorrow!"
Li Liang was confused:
"Is it really nothing?"
Liang Zifeng said disdainfully: "What could possibly happen? You are just worrying about nothing!"
Although Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai didn't quite understand the meaning of this idiom, they could still hear the contempt in their tone. They immediately fell into deep thought...
It was acceptable to be despised by Liang Ziqiang, but now even Liang Zifeng despises them.
Li Liang patted the side of the boat, his face showing a tragic look:
"I'll risk it. I'll take the boat over there tomorrow. There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm not that coward like Lin Baixian..."
"It's okay for you to go, but just don't tell anyone!" Liang Ziqiang said hello in advance.
There were quite a lot of fish there, so it was no problem for more people to fish together, as long as they could keep up with the speed of the fish swimming to the deep sea. He didn't want to tell anyone because he was afraid that his father would hear about it and he might get beaten.
He is married now, so he has to keep his dignity. How embarrassing it would be to be beaten in front of Chen Xiangbei...
The four of them went ashore together. There were quite a lot of people on the pier, so they consciously decided not to mention the matter of Longjuling.
After taking a few steps, he saw his father and elder brother walking along the shore from another direction.
My father recently bought a cart, and he and Liang Tiancheng were pushing the fish and shrimp over on the cart.
"Dad, I think you guys must have found the winter fish this time. It looks like you caught quite a lot of fish." Liang Ziqiang took the initiative to say to his father.
"It's very scattered. The valuable fish you see on the surface are only about 10 to 20, and the majority at the bottom are shrimps!" Liang's father was not satisfied with today's catch.
Compared to usual times, there are more active fish and shrimps on the sea, but it is still difficult to encounter a large-scale winter flood team.
The only large-scale one he encountered today was a wave of hair shrimps. The reason behind this is that there are indeed a lot of hair shrimps in the shallow sea, and with waves here and there, the chance of encountering them is much greater.
The price of hair shrimp was only five cents, which really made it difficult for my father and elder brother to be happy.
As he was talking, Liang's father saw the fish in Liang Ziqiang's basket, and then glanced at the boat on the shore: "You caught so many big yellow croakers and golden pomfret? Where have you been?!"
Liang Ziqiang calmly told his father: "You know, the area around Chengpan Island!"
The term "Scale Island" was a jargon between the father and his son. Most of the time, it referred to the Nameless Island.
Sure enough, Father Liang immediately thought of this and had an expression of "I see":
"That's your own luck, just take your time to fish it out!"
No, that's not luck. As long as you don't believe in black dragons, you can actually catch a lot, not less than what I have on my boat.
Seeing his father and brother working hard to push a cart of shrimps, Liang Ziqiang felt extremely annoyed. He absolutely did not dare to persuade his father to go to Longjuling.
At this time, some other villagers on the shore also noticed Liang Ziqiang's boat and found that his boat was filled with many golden yellow croakers and light golden pomfret.
"Qiangzi, where did you get so many fish? I feel like this winter's fish are harder to find than last year's."
"Did this winter flood warn you in advance or what? How could you find it?!"
Liang's father immediately took the initiative to help him cover up the problem and said, "Where can he go? He just has some shit luck!"
Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai also responded: "Brother Qiang is a very attractive person. You didn't just find out today, did you?!"
Several villagers were speechless. Liang Ziqiang had been lucky for a long time. Who would be uncomfortable if they compared with him? Liang Ziqiang thought to himself that he would have to get up early tomorrow and call Li Liang and the others to set off quietly before daybreak.
Otherwise, he was really worried that some villagers would just stay and refuse to leave, following him to Longjuling.
He couldn't explain the secret of Longjuling to the whole village. So, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to just keep quiet and make a fortune...
