Xiao Hei was working hard over there, and Zhang Ze also came to the table and sat down, starting to taste the red-ribbed bream.
He tried the steamed one first, and when he took a bite, both his eyebrows raised.
The fish meat is very fresh, tender and tastes excellent. It turns out to be a high-quality deep-sea fish.
In terms of taste alone, it is not much worse than grouper.
Then he tried braised fish and fish soup, these two homely cooking methods would not cover up the taste of the fish itself at all.
It is confirmed that based on the quality of this fish, even if the price is limited due to its low reputation, it is not a problem to sell it at 80 cents to one dollar per pound.
After returning and letting Zhao Xianghua taste it, Zhang Ze felt that he could get a unit price of one yuan, so that the income from this overseas trip could be much higher.
After lunch, thinking about his idea last night, he found that he no longer had the heart to continue fishing. Instead, he was eager to go back and set up the winch and fishing rod.
After returning to the island, Zhang Ze said goodbye to Jin Sanbao and Tong Yuanhang, and then set sail back.
They just arrived yesterday, and we didn't catch many fish in the morning when we started working. It's obviously unrealistic to go back now, so I didn't follow them.
Lin Long and Lin Hu were a little confused. It seemed that the boss had just gone out to sea yesterday morning, so how come he came back tonight?
But no matter what, we need to move the fish and deliver the goods.
This time, Zhang Ze went to Zhao Xianghua's store to negotiate the price of red-ribbed bream. This fish comes from the deep sea and is rarely seen in the market, so there is no specific price.
Finally, he asked the restaurant chef to make one, and Zhao Xianghua agreed to the price of one yuan per pound after tasting it.
Of course, given such a high price, he will naturally sell it at a higher price.
After returning to the fishing village and staying overnight, Zhang Ze drove the Duoyu to the shipyard the next morning.
The factory manager thought there was something wrong with his boat and it needed to be repaired, but when he heard that five small winches had to be installed on the right rear side of the ship, and that it also had to be able to mount fishing rods to use as a fishing reel, he was dumbfounded.
He really didn't understand the technical issues, so he just called a designer to see if it could be done.
With ready-made bamboo poles and fishing reels as reference, this little technique is not difficult for designers.
The only thing I don’t understand is why Zhang Ze wants to do this. Isn’t it inconvenient to put out longlines or cast nets?
But the customer has requirements and can afford to pay, so there is no reason to turn down this business.
After the deal was settled, Lin Long also came to the shipyard on a motorcycle to pick him up.
The two set out at the same time, but the water route was shorter, while the land route had to take a long detour.
Now that the problem of the “electric reel” has been solved, the next thing to do is to find a powerful enough boat rod.
The first fiberglass fishing rod in China has not yet appeared, but carbon rods have already appeared abroad in 1952.
Lao Chou is currently catching a large number of bluefin tuna and selling them for a living. There are many fishermen who specialize in fishing, so it is not a problem for Zhang Ze to buy various styles of fishing rods.
It’s just not realistic to go to Lao Chou specifically to buy it, so in the end I still have to go to Hong Kong Island to buy it. If that doesn’t work, I’ll use a purchasing agent.
Originally Zhang Ze was thinking about whether he should go there himself, but after Lu Wenbin found out, he easily solved the problem with just one phone call.
He has two employees who often travel between Hong Kong Island and the mainland, so it is very convenient for them to bring some things to him.
Zhang Ze just stayed at home to accompany his wife and rest for a few days, and then the fishing rod arrived.
According to his request, we brought three types of boat rods, totaling fifteen.
There are fish for fish weighing less than ten kilograms, fish weighing between ten and fifty kilograms, and big fish like tuna.
Zhang Ze can flexibly match the size of fishing rods himself, and keep the extra ones as spares.
He immediately took the fishing rod to the fishing village and asked Lin Long to take him to the shipyard on a motorcycle to see if these fishing rods could be installed on the small winch for fishing.
When they were almost at the fishing village, Zhang Ze also exchanged five packages of one thousand meters of fishing line and matching fish hooks.
The fishing line produced by the system will not be damaged by external forces, so it is not very thick. It looks to be about the thickness of a No. 10 main line.
When Zhang Ze and his guys arrived at the shipyard, the winches had already been installed.
Led by the person in charge, we came onto the boat, where the designer was also, and then picked up a fishing rod and manually installed it on the left side of the winch.
He added a small accessory at this position, which is specifically used to fix the fishing rod.
Zhang Ze wrapped the fishing line onto the winch, installed the fishing line and tied the line group. Then he tried to start the winch to pay out and reel in the line. He found that the combination of these two can be used as an electric fishing rod.
The difference is that the speed of reeling in and releasing the line is slower, but not much. Secondly, there is no screen to display the depth, so Zhang Ze needs to judge the depth by the color change of the fishing line.
This is already perfect. The distance between each fishing rod is one and a half meters, and the fishing lines basically will not get entangled with each other. Secondly, it is also convenient for Zhang Ze to operate back and forth.
After paying the money, Lin Long rode back on his motorcycle. He also started the Duoyu and returned to the fishing village.
As soon as he arrived, he found Jin Sanbao, Tong Yuanhang and others were at the dock. When they saw him coming, they immediately took a small boat to his boat.
"Oh, is this the automatic fishing thing you mentioned? It's just a small winch!" Jin Sanbao said as he looked at the winch that became unremarkable after the fishing rod was removed.
"Can this thing replace the longline? It seems that your main income comes from the longline?" Tong Yuanhang said doubtfully.
"Come on, don't worry, I'll fix it up and show you!" Zhang Ze went to get the fishing rods, installed them one by one, and lined them up in a row, which was quite spectacular.
Because the fishing line would not be damaged, Zhang Ze did not take it off the winch. Normally, he only needed to cover it with a plastic bag, so it was convenient to tie the line group at this time.
"I just tried it at the shipyard and caught two bass. These can be used as bait now." As he said that, Zhang Ze walked into the kitchen and took out two seven-star bass weighing about two kilograms from the space.
Kill the fish on the spot and throw the internal organs to the place where you will fish later as a bait.
The fish meat is cut into small pieces and used as bait.
Hang one on each fish hook, then turn on the winch one by one to let the hook bait sink into the water.
With a fishing rod, bottom fishing or floating fishing has become very convenient.
Seeing this, the few people didn't react much. After a while, one of the fishing rods successfully caught a fish. Zhang Ze hurried over to start the winch and reel in the line.
When the few people saw a lively sesame swordfish being caught, their eyes lit up.
"Fuck, this is really convenient for fishing!"
"Yeah, unlike us who have to pull it back slowly with our hands."
"Aze, how much did you spend on this set of equipment?"
Zhang Ze looked at the guys and complained, "You guys who do trawls don't have time to fish. You're either trawlers or sorting your catches. What do you need these for?"
Tong Yuanhang and his two brothers were stunned when they heard this, and then they looked embarrassed. Seeing such a useful tool for fishing, they were like children who saw their favorite toy, so they wanted it too.
But Zhang Ze's words immediately brought them back to reality. The three of them really hadn't gone fishing for a long time and were too busy! Jin Sanbao and his men didn't need it either, after all, they would get a new boat at the beginning of next year.
Next, other fishing rods also caught fish one after another, catching a sesame sword fish in the water. It was obvious that there was a sesame sword fish nest underneath.
But everyone's attention was attracted by this new equipment which was easy to operate, but no one cared about these sesame swords, one of the four famous fishes in the Pearl River.
This fish was later included in the second-level protected list. The fish meat is delicious and the price is even as high as two hundred yuan per catty, which is indeed the ceiling level among freshwater fish.
However, in this era, sesame sword is just an ordinary fish. It is rampant in number and is only popular in Guangdong and Guangxi, where it is a frequent guest on the dining table.
But for the fishing villages along the Pearl River, they may be a little tired of eating this fish.
Zhang Ze did not touch these sesame swordfish because he did not wear gloves and the dorsal fin of these fish is poisonous.
After Jin Sanbao and his companions left, he put the dying Sesame Sword into the space.
[Successfully caught a spotted catfish, weighing 1.83 catties, experience +12. ]
The experience is not low, there are twelve points, which also indirectly shows the freshness and tenderness of the fish.
Sesame swords usually weigh only one to three pounds and are not very big, but occasionally they can weigh more than thirty pounds.
Zhang Ze didn't continue fishing here because it would take a few years for the value of the sesame sword to increase.
Keep these and use experience points to convert them when you want to eat them to improve nutrition and taste.
After returning to the house and resting for a night, Zhang Ze bought almost a week's worth of consumables and set out alone the next day.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As for the long rope, they didn't bring it with them this time. It had been successfully eliminated and given to the family by Zhang Ze. They also had a small boat, so they could use it after some modification.
Although he went out to sea with Jin Sanbao and others this time, they separated temporarily after leaving the Pearl River Estuary and entering the sea.
Zhang Ze’s first stop was to go to the red-billed sturgeon fishing spot. The distance was not far, and he set off at eight in the morning and arrived at the destination at half past nine.
Using a fish finder, he discovered a lot of fish activity at a depth of more than 50 meters.
Stop the boat and turn off the engine, take out your bamboo pole, and pair it with two medium-sized boat rods and two of the thinnest boat rods.
The bamboo pole is specially made to not get damaged, so it can occupy one fishing spot forever.
Moreover, it can catch big fish and small fish, and even if you buy a new fishing rod, it cannot replace it.
He chose the other four fishing rods because he considered that there might not be particularly large fish here.
The design of the fishing hole is very flexible, and fishing rods of any thickness can be installed. It seems that the base that comes with the space is temporarily useless.
Install the fishing rod and then tie the line group.
Products produced in this space must be of high quality. It’s great to have days when we don’t have to worry about the thickness of the fishing line.
The size of the fish hook does need to be considered. The thinnest boat rod is used to catch fish weighing less than five kilograms, so the fish hook is smaller.
The target fish for medium-sized boat rods are about ten pounds, so the fish hooks are larger.
Use a bamboo pole for big fish and try your luck with a large fish hook. If there is no big fish, it is not too late to change it later.
All the preliminary work was ready and half an hour had passed.
There is no need for longlining, but there are a lot of ordinary fishing baits recovered in the space. After all, six thousand portions have to be prepared every time.
Excluding those that were eaten by fish during the last longline fishing, there are still 3,927 copies in the space, enough for Zhang Ze to fish for a while.
It won’t take a long time. If you encounter a school of fish, it is not difficult to catch hundreds or thousands of fish with five “electric fishing rods”.
Get ready, put on five baits, and start the winch to release the lines one by one.
This group of fish mainly gathered at a water depth of 40 meters. Zhang Ze returned to the winch where the line was first released. He estimated that the position was almost right, so he turned off the winch in order.
As soon as the door was closed, there was a movement from the first fishing rod, and he hurried over to reel it in.
Then the second and third fish were caught one after another, and for a moment Zhang Ze seemed a little flustered.
Fortunately, after catching the fish, all you have to do is reel in the line. After waiting for a while, a spotted sea bream was caught.
There weren't a lot of grouper sea bream, probably just over two kilograms.
After being hooked into the air, it kept struggling. Zhang Ze turned off the winch and quickly reached out to grab it, putting it into the space.
Then he used the same method with the second fishing rod, which also caught a striped rock snapper but was slightly larger, weighing almost three pounds.
The speed of the fishing rod was a little slower at the back, maybe the fish hook was a little bigger, and it took time to attract bigger fish.
There was no movement on the bamboo pole, and not many fish could take the big hook.
After a while, the fish in the third fishing rod also appeared on the water surface. As soon as the fish appeared, Zhang Ze stopped the winch and used a scoop net to scoop up the grouper, which looked to be seven or eight kilograms.
The fourth fishing rod was still reeling in its line, so there was still enough time.
Once you get a little familiar with the operation, this method of fishing won’t seem so busy anymore.
Catching four fish in just a few minutes is quite efficient.
After catching all the fish, he put up new bait and continued.
This way I have some buffer time, otherwise after catching the fish I would put the bait on and continue immediately, and the fish would really spin like a top.
The efficiency of the new equipment really reached Zhang Ze's ideal state. He walked back and forth between the four fishing rods and caught 103 fish in just one hour.
The small ones weighed a little over one pound, and the big ones weighed seventeen and a half pounds, for a total of five hundred and seventy-two pounds of fish.
Based on the four hours it took to let the longline down, the new equipment is indeed less efficient.
But the extension cord is disposable and needs to be taken back for repair after each use.
He still paid someone to help him set up the bait. If he did everything himself, his efficiency would not be that high.
Moreover, every time he let out or reeled in the longline, it was always difficult for him to do it alone.
When fishing like he is doing now, he can fish anytime as long as he finds a school of fish, and his endurance is impeccable.
The total harvest of two or three fish going out to sea will definitely not be less than that of longline fishing. Moreover, if the quality and quantity of fish here are not good enough, you can go to another place where there are not so many restrictions.
In short, Zhang Ze is very satisfied with this new equipment.
It’s a pity that it’s not a real electric spinning rod, which would be more convenient to use.
After an hour without any big fish being caught, Zhang Ze gave up the idea of fishing for a big fish and replaced the fishhook on the bamboo pole with a smaller one. The target fish was around 20 kilograms.
The effect of this change was immediate.
Not long after, a fish pulled the fishing line on the bamboo pole, which had been motionless at first. Zhang Ze hurried over to start the winch.
The instantaneous pulling force when the winch is started causes the fishing line to pause. This reaction force is like stabbing the fish, causing the hook to penetrate deeper.
Then the fish at the bottom of the water was pulled up uncontrollably by the winch, completely unable to resist.
But the overall speed was still slower than the smaller fish nearby. Zhang Ze collected the smaller fish before he saw a large purple-red fish appear on the water surface. (End of this chapter)
