Chapter 243 A group of people helped to pick more than a thousand pounds of fish
In this photo, there are several black carps, which are more expensive than six-line fish.
Since he had taken the time to make two new underwater scorpions last time, Liang Ziqiang now had six underwater scorpions. After fishing out these four, he went to look for the remaining two.
During this process, Zhu Tianpeng also found his other net. At first glance, he was quite excited to see a lot of plum fish in it.
When I took it out and looked at it carefully, I found that many of the fish were already emitting a foul smell. It seemed that these fish had gotten in there relatively early, and because of the barbels on the seabed and the ocean currents, they couldn't get out and were crushed.
The plum fish is relatively fragile.
"I've encountered this situation before. Fortunately, there are quite a lot of six-line fish in that net in front of you!" Liang Ziqiang comforted.
Soon Liang Ziqiang also found two more seabed fish. The harvest of these two nets was quite ordinary, with few six-line fish, but some blue fish and blue crabs.
There were some shrimps, but only a few. Liang Ziqiang had reason to suspect that there were too many green fish, and they had eaten most of the shrimps in the past few days.
After a busy period, Liang Ziqiang's six Haidiqian, Zhu Tianpeng's two, Li Liang's six, and Deng Zhaocai's ten were all fished out and thrown back into the sea after being lifted into the air.
Deng Zhaocai made the most money from Haidipiao. After all, his family's daily expenses and his mother's medical treatment all depended on Haidipiao.
Originally, he had obtained quite a lot of bird's nests from Liang Ziqiang last time, which added up to more than 300 yuan. But later, Liang Ziqiang heard him say that his mother's illness was getting worse again, and he had to spend a lot of money again...
His brother and sister-in-law had nothing to do with the matter, and he took care of it all by himself. At this rate, it would be difficult for Deng Zhaocai to save a lot of money. Not to mention that there was no one at home to go out to sea with him, even if there was, it would be difficult for him to save enough money to buy a boat.
I heard that he had borrowed some money from Li Liang earlier, and he has been paying it back slowly since then...
Today's drizzle stopped and started, and now there was a layer of white hair in the air, and several people were already wet.
Compared with the warming weather, this drizzle is much more pleasant. At least Longjuling is safe in this kind of "late spring cold" weather.
But being soaked was not pleasant after all, so they did not linger and did not plan to cast their nets. They left the fishing to the fish on the bottom of the sea.
Sailing back from the reef zone to the mouth of the strait, Liang Ziqiang dragged out a brand new large floating lancet net from his boat, which was still seventy meters long.
The spring flood was not over yet, so after collecting the nets, new nets had to be set up. This was why Liang Ziqiang bought two large floating thorn nets when he went to the town.
Even if the one full of fish wasn't broken, it couldn't be lifted off the boat for the time being. The new floating gillnet was made in the same way, tied to the stone pillars of the two small islands with thick ropes again, with more than 60 meters in the middle completely open in the sea, waiting for new waves of spring fish to hit it.
Only after the new floating gannets were deployed did the two boats officially leave the strait and prepare to return to shore.
The reason why they waited until now to place the new net was because their ships still had to pass through the strait before the fish from the seabed were brought up, and the bottom of the ships could easily scratch the net of the floating baleen net.
The boat returned to the village and docked at the shore.
Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai had things to do at home, so they picked up the fish they had caught from the bottom of the sea and hurried to Zheng Liu to sell them.
Liang Ziqiang couldn't go yet because he had a very complicated job to do - picking fish.
There are so many fish entangled and hanging on the floating gillnet, but they have to be picked off one by one by hand.
Zhu Tianpeng stayed and helped him spread out the floating gillnet piece by piece, and then picked various fish, shrimps and crabs from it.
They usually focus on casting nets, and they don't usually do this kind of work of catching fish.
Fortunately, while picking the fish, I also did another thing at the same time: sorting the fish.
"Put these green fish in this big basket!"
"Small yellow croaker, right? Put it in this small basket."
"Put the golden pomfret in the other big basket!"
"Put the slippery shrimp in the bucket."
"Port crabs? Just put them in the snakeskin bag."
"You mean thornfish? Why waste a basket for thornfish? Just throw it directly onto the deck!"
The five-cent thornfish was not worthy of being put into containers such as baskets or buckets, so it was thrown all over the boat without any dignity.
After all these fish are sold, you can shovel the thorny fish directly into the cart and take it away to sell.
The two of them picked for a long time. The rain had stopped long ago, but they were still sweating.
At this moment, I looked up and saw the road on the shore. A group of children in their teens were wandering on the roadside after the rain. The "big kid" Liang Lizhi was also among them.
Seeing them jumping and shouting, I wonder what small animals they are persecuting.
"Lizhi, your brother is too busy here, can you come and help?!"
Zhu Tianpeng shouted from a distance towards the other side of the road.
When Lizhi heard the shout, she turned around and saw them on the boat, and she jumped up and ran over. Not only her, but also a group of children behind her also ran over.
"Pulling fish? That's easy, I can do it too!"
When Lizhi saw them busying themselves, he thought it was quite simple, so he immediately squatted down and started working.
Liang Ziqiang quickly blocked it: "Don't pull it roughly, it will damage the fish, you have to be gentle and get the fins out first!"
Lizhi looked at Zhu Tianpeng's actions again and said, "Be gentle, I know how to do it!" Then she was about to take action again.
Liang Ziqiang quickly took out a pair of spare work gloves from the cabin and gave them to her.
Let’s not talk about whether the fish is hurt or not, just be sure not to hurt her hand.
She said to be gentle, but she put on the gloves and pulled the first golden pomfret's fins and belly meat off, and blood came out...
The golden pomfret swayed and shook, and rolled its eyes in pain. It really rolled its eyes.
Lizhi did not learn his lesson and attacked a small yellow croaker the second time. As expected, the small yellow croaker bled again and made that unique weird sound.
It's painful to look at.
Liang Ziqiang glanced at Zhu Tianpeng: Who told you to call her over? He wanted to kick his own sister off the boat.
Zhu Tianpeng was very patient: "Look, Lizhi, it should be like this, in this direction, right, try it again..."
The five or six children watching couldn't stand it anymore and started pointing and saying, "Lizhi, you are so stupid. We have all learned it, but you still can't!"
Lizhi turned around and glared at them murderously, and they shut up tacitly.
When Lizhi gets angry, she will push people. Many of them have personally experienced the feeling of being pushed down by her. After all, Lizhi is almost seventeen years old this year, and is much taller than these real kids.
The worst thing is that we are on a boat now, not on the ground.
The children looked around at the water on the side of the boat, imagined the tragic scene of themselves falling into the sea, and wisely chose to remain silent.
"Yeah, you guys can help and try, it's fun anyway, and not tiring!"
In order to deceive more people to help him and finish picking the fish earlier, the honest man Zhu Tianpeng started to lie openly.
However, Liang Ziqiang thought this was a good idea and encouraged him: "If you really have nothing to do, you can help me. How about I give you half a day's wages?"
The children immediately became interested and someone asked:
“Is half a day counted as a major job or a minor job?!”
I know a lot...
During this time, someone replied: "We are so small, of course we are small workers!"
This understanding seems to be correct...
But in fact, the skilled worker is the one who does bricklaying and technical work, while the unskilled worker is the one who carries bricks and mud and does miscellaneous work.
"A day's work for a laborer is two dollars, and you're only paying us one dollar for half a day's work. It's almost dark now, and we only work for a short while. Are you really willing to give us one dollar?!"
Some of the children are quite smart and can calculate numbers clearly without any mistakes.
Liang Ziqiang was happy: "Of course it's one dollar, one dollar is enough for you to buy a lot of things! Come on, here are the gloves, one pair for each person. Start early and finish early. I'll pay you after you sell the fish, and you can get paid now!"
There were quite a lot of spare work gloves on the ship, and Liang Ziqiang made promises while distributing gloves to them.
This style has a bit of the flavor of capitalists' empty promises.
Oh no, the contractor is assigning work, that would be more appropriate.
After Zhu Tianpeng taught for a few times, the child gradually learned how to pick lychees, and the other children quickly knew how to pick them.
Six teenage helpers, plus Lizhi and the two of them, nine pairs of hands worked together to pick up the fish, and the speed increased immediately.
Amidst the laughter, only a clean big net was left. All the fish and shrimps were picked and put into different baskets.
It was much faster than expected, and I can sell the fish right away. After picking them, I looked again and saw that I had such a large harvest from my first floating gillnet...
