Chapter 254: Eyeglass Fish, Cast the Net and Catch (Additional Update)

There are several types of black hair fish, each of which is very precious.

The one that Liang Ziqiang caught a few days ago is a relatively dominant species among black-haired fish, with a very black mouth and hairy body.

Liang Ziqiang now took this fish off the fishing rod. The scales were smaller, the tail was not so neat, and the gill edges were also different.

"The tail has long black hair!" Liang Ziqiang said after taking a look.

Compared with ordinary black hair, the black hair with long tail is more expensive and more valuable! This is also the most valuable fish caught on this island with the most snappers.

I estimate that this one may be more expensive even than the grouper.

This also gave the others hope. They smashed the green willow clams again, took the clam meat, and threw the fishing rod into the water, all in one go.

The waiting time became longer. Sometimes I would catch a piece of cow dung, and sometimes I would catch a black sea bream or a flat sea bream.

When it was almost over, none of the guys encountered another black fish taking the bait.

Just before we were about to finish cleaning up, a few yellow-legged fish and two red snappers came running over.

These two species are not expensive on this island, and the other flathead fish are even more mediocre.

Seeing that there was no major harvest, a few people decided to return early as they still had to spend time taking care of the shrimp pond in the evening.

Carrying the heavy bucket and fishing gear, I returned to the boat.

In terms of weight, everyone caught two buckets of fish today, which was even heavier than a few days ago.

However, this time there are fewer valuable grouper sea bream than last time, and there are almost no baogong fish. Instead, there are more of the most common flathead sea bream than last time.

If we estimate, the income should be obviously lower than last time.

Although they were a little disappointed, they thought it was normal. The island reef was so small, and the harder they fished, the fewer snappers there would be.

They started to leave Niu Shi Island. Seeing that there was still a large bag of sweet rice cakes given by his wife on the boat, Liang Ziqiang drove the boat and ate them as an afternoon snack.

I made it specially for his birthday, so I couldn't let it go to waste. I had to finish it. Of course, the most important thing was that the sweet rice cakes made by my wife were delicious.

He was sitting in the cabin steering the boat when he heard the voices of Zhu Tianpeng and Liang Tiancheng outside the cabin shouting together as if they had agreed on something.

"Shrimps! There are shrimps in the sea!"

When Liang Ziqiang heard their shouting, he thought that he had encountered a continuous army of krill again like last time.

"Krill?" he asked, smacking his lips. If it was krill, he would not get up to fish it out this time. Even if there were prawns mixed in, there was no need to fish it out. There were already enough broodstock at home.

"They are not as small as krill. They just look a little smaller than normal shrimps!" Zhu Tianpeng replied.

After hearing what he said, Liang Ziqiang was ready to put down the sweet cake and go out to take a look.

Before he could stand up, he heard his father's voice again: "Look carefully, it's peach blossom shrimps! There are quite a few of them!"

Hearing this, Liang Ziqiang immediately put aside the sweet cake in his hand, and ran out as if he was given power by a diesel motor.

The price of a slippery shrimp is seven cents, which is much lower than that of ordinary white shrimps and mantis shrimps. It is considered to be a more valuable shrimp. The price of peach blossom shrimp is definitely higher than that of a slippery shrimp.

I was eating sweet rice cakes and suddenly I made money. How could I not make a fortune? I looked over the side of the boat with the fishing net in hand. The size of the shrimp school was not as large as the krill army last time, but it was still not small, enough to cast a few nets.

"It's really a peach blossom shrimp?" Zhu Tianpeng recognized it after getting closer. "I didn't see any peach blossom shrimp when the peach blossoms were blooming. Now that the peach blossoms are starting to fall, we bump into one!"

Zhu Tianpeng obviously knew about peach blossom shrimp. This kind of shrimp is different from other shrimps. It is not available all year round. It only appears in the spring when the peach blossoms bloom. After that, it is impossible to find it.

Because of this, it is called "Peach Blossom Shrimp".

If you want to eat fresh peach blossom shrimp, you can only do so in March and April.

"Yes, this is the last batch of peach blossom shrimps at this time. We just take as many as we can!" Liang's father continued.

Aiming at the location of the shrimp school, Liang Ziqiang threw the net in his hand, and the other three people also threw the net into the water almost at the same time.

Several splashes of water appeared on the water surface at the same time.

After a while we started to collect the nets, and when we pulled them onto the boat we saw that there were probably still more than ten kilograms of catch.

Lying on the deck, the shrimps bounced and jumped, spreading the fresh scent of the sea.

These shrimps are shorter than prawns, mantis shrimps and slippery shrimps, and their skin looks particularly thin, as if they were covered with a cicada's skin.

The pink shrimp meat is clearly visible under the thin and soft skin.

It has less skin and more meat, and is fresh, tender and refreshing. Perhaps this is the reason why this kind of shrimp is more expensive than the slippery shrimp.

Of course, the production volume is not high and the time on the market is extremely short, only a little over a month, which has invisibly increased its price.

After emptying the fishing net, he immediately started to cast the second net.

As the shrimps fled in panic, the catch in each net would of course be less. But they were very fast and kept driving the boat to catch them, so they caught at least 70 to 80 kilograms of fish.

The shrimps had almost dispersed, but Liang Tiancheng was reluctant to leave and wanted to continue chasing them. Liang's father glared at him and said, "They are scattered like this, what are you still chasing for? If you still want to catch them, wait until next year!"

Indeed, it is already April 15th this year, and it is unlikely that we will continue to encounter peach shrimps after this.

The sudden appearance of the peach blossom shrimp delayed the two boats for a while, so they sped up a bit, intending to return to the shore as quickly as possible.

Liang Ziqiang washed his hands with sea water and then sat back in the cabin to continue eating the sweet rice cake.

After washing it twice, I saw a fish floating past my hand like a hanging bag. It looked like a cloth bag, but it was very flat, more like a round-headed kitchen knife with a particularly droopy belly! "Glassfish?"

Liang Ziqiang recognized this strange-looking fish at a glance, which looked like a little beggar carrying a cloth bag and begging on the street.

"Where is it?" Liang's father said, "Oh, there really is one. There are several over here!"

"This fish looks very strange. Is it expensive?" Liang Tiancheng asked.

The eyeglass fish is also known as the frame fish, the eyeglass frame, and the leather knife. It's not that its eyes look special, but its entire drooping body like a hanging bag looks like a pair of eyeglass frames.

This fish is not so common.

"Fish in the sea are not necessarily expensive just because they are rare. This fish doesn't have much meat, so the price is probably about the same as that of golden pomfret!"

That was a few cents. And in the blink of an eye, more eyeglass fish appeared. It seemed that they had encountered a small school of eyeglass fish.

"Let's fish it out!" Liang's father decided to his eldest son.

In any case, this was the first school of fish they encountered in the shallow sea this year.

Before that, we only encountered a group of krill and a group of peach shrimps just now.

As for schools of fish, the eyeglass fish in front of us is indeed the first batch of the new year.

Of course, Liang Ziqiang has quietly intercepted many spring fish in Longjuling, but that is another matter.

It was the first time for him to discover a school of fish while wandering on the sea.

This also means that the fishing season for fishermen has officially arrived.

Of course, it also announces that the spring flood is basically over, and a large number of fish have completed their return from the deep sea to the shallow sea.

Liang Ziqiang asked Zhu Tianpeng to go in and drive the boat, cooperating in following the movements of the eyeglass fish. He himself carried the fishing net, looked for places where the eyeglass fish were relatively concentrated, and then cast the net.

Most of the water surfaces had only two or three of these fish, so there was nothing to scatter. He found a place where a dozen or twenty spectacle fish gathered together and quickly threw the net over there.

Thinking that there might be some eyeglass fish slightly below the water surface, he waited a little longer, trying to wait until the fishing net sank lower and deeper under the action of the lead weight.

After a while, he started to close the net.

The fishing net slowly emerged from the water. As soon as it was pulled close to the side of the boat, Liang Ziqiang rubbed his eyes, as if something was wrong.

How come the situation is completely different from what he saw on the water surface? !

The eyeglass fish is gray on top and silver on the bottom, with a large, drooping belly that is silvery white enough to be used as a mirror.

But in the fishing net in front of me, there is a large area of ​​bright red and pink, with strands of gold flashing in between.

On the contrary, there were few figures of cobra fish among them.

It was like a magic trick was performed in the water in the blink of an eye, stealing the contents of his web...
