1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 299: Catch over Yuan a Day

Soon, the two oystercatchers had actually passed the location of the large underwater drift net and were completely safe.

However, the cat sharks were unaware that there was a huge drifting gillnet blocking the way ahead, so they continued to swim faster and chase forward.

Until the cat shark at the front crashed into the gillnet.

The water surface was rippled.

It was difficult to see the underwater movements clearly from the boat, but Liang Ziqiang could easily imagine that part of the cat shark's fins had been caught in the mesh.

Those with loud movements on the water surface are most likely not stuck, but the cat sharks are directly swept and entangled.

Just like the giant mackerels and sea turtles were entangled in the big net.

Liang Ziqiang was not in a hurry to pull up the net. Whether it was stuck or entangled, it was obvious that the cat shark had no way out in both cases.

Some cat sharks at the back were unaware of what was happening in the front and did not stop completely, but continued to move forward.

As a result, many cat sharks fell into the gillnets and got caught or entangled in the nets...

A group of cat sharks at the back seemed to have sensed something was wrong and began to turn around and retreat.

However, as soon as he turned his head, a fishing net was thrown down.

Just now, Liang Ziqiang had adjusted the course and drove the boat behind the group of cat sharks.

The cat shark retreated, and he cast a net to catch it.

This net actually caught two cat sharks.

Previously, the nets either fell flat or were lucky enough to catch one cat shark. This was the first time that two cat sharks were caught in one net.

The main reason was that the cat shark was somewhat panicked during the retreat and was unable to defend against the hand-cast net.

With a fishing boat casting a net in front and an unknown drift net behind, the cat shark changed direction and began to flee to both sides.

Some of them fled to the north and managed to escape successfully.

While the other part fled southward, they already had a second large drift net floating in the water, at an angle to the first one, waiting for them.

These cat sharks thought they had escaped, but unexpectedly they fell into the drift net and became stuck and entangled in it.

After waiting for a while and seeing that there were basically no cat sharks approaching the drift net, Liang Ziqiang began to collect the net.

We first collected the first drift gillnet, pulling it aboard piece by piece, and discovered that as many as fourteen cat sharks were caught in this large net!

After collecting this one, I collected the one on the south side.

The second one had much fewer, but after pulling it up, I counted them and there were seven.

In total, Liang Ziqiang caught twenty-one cat sharks today.

This number is much more than what he got last year and everything he got yesterday!
Liang's father, Li Liang and others had been watching this operation from afar. When they saw that he had actually caught more than 20 cat sharks, they were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.

They all relied on the simplest way of casting nets to fish, and so far, each boat had only caught a few fish. Who would have thought that Liang Ziqiang's unorthodox way of fishing would yield a higher harvest than them, and not just a little bit higher, but several times higher!

"Fuck, Brother Qiang, you are really good at playing. How did you come up with the idea of ​​using a floating gill net to catch cat sharks? And you caught so many!"

As they got closer to each other, Deng Zhaocai started shouting loudly.

Li Liang was also amazed and shook his head and lamented:
"It's really impossible to imitate him. If you want to learn from him, you need to have a dog and raise two seabirds first!"

Zhu Tianpeng laughed and said:

"That's impossible to learn. Not every dog ​​is as smart and well-behaved as Duobao!" When Duobao heard his name being called, he tilted his head and observed Zhu Tianpeng's expression carefully. This time he seemed to have figured out what was going on and guessed that Zhu Tianpeng was saying something good about him.

It woofed twice and started wagging its tail.

Of course, Liang Ziqiang’s method cannot be used all the time.

I used it once, and I definitely can't use it again today. There are no schools of cat sharks on the sea.

Next, he joined his father and Li Liang and started casting the net with his hands.

It was already afternoon and the number of cat sharks was decreasing. Apparently, after half a day of chasing with nets, they had gradually moved away again.

When he finished work, Liang Ziqiang had caught a total of twenty-three cat sharks, including the two he caught in the afternoon.

Li Liang and Liang Fu had about seven to eight fish on each boat, so the harvest was not small at all, at least over two hundred.

Lin Baixian was the last one among the boats these days, because his brother Ayi was not very good at cooperating and was somewhat dragged down. But today he also had four cat sharks, and still earned more than 100 yuan.

Over the next two days, they continued to search in this area, but they were unable to find any trace of the cat shark for two days.

It seems that after two days of harassment and fishing, the cat sharks have completely moved to a faraway place and cannot be found within a few miles.

On the fifth day, none of them went out to sea because Liang Ziqiang contacted Jiang Wenang, who would come to collect their cat sharks that day.

When Jiang Wen'ang heard on the phone that there were actually seventy or eighty cat sharks, he thought he had misheard for a moment and confirmed with Liang Ziqiang no less than three times.

The next day, Jiang Wen'ang led his men and drove over early in the morning.

"I won't talk about the price this time," Jiang Wenang said straight to the point, "Last time you guys raised it from fifteen to thirty, and this is already the highest. You won't lower the price this time, I'll still charge thirty, is that okay?"

Since he said so, Liang Ziqiang and the others didn't waste their breath arguing with him.

The transaction is much simpler than selling fish normally. There is no need to use a scale, just sell by the piece.

Liang Ziqiang caught 11 on the first day, and then he caught 23 because he used drift nets. In total, he caught 34 cat sharks in two days.

At thirty yuan each, Liang Ziqiang's cat sharks broke the thousand-yuan mark in one fell swoop and sold for one thousand and twenty yuan!
Liang Fu, Li Liang and others relied solely on casting a wide net, so naturally they were far from being able to compare with Liang Ziqiang. The amount of money they earned was far less, but each of them still earned a few hundred yuan.

Seeing him get so much money back, Chen Xiangbei couldn't believe it. She thought about it:
"When you sold those chicken claw snails before, the most you sold was not this much, right?"

In fact, it is true. Even if the price of chicken claw snails and groupers were added together, it would be difficult to sell them for more than one thousand yuan in Yuehai Restaurant.

After much thought, this time it was mainly due to the cooperation between Duobao and the two oystercatchers.

When he was happy, he added more food. It wasn't people who added more food, it was Duobao and the two oystercatchers who added more food.

The hair shrimps at home were originally used as bait for longline fishing. Liang Ziqiang scooped half a basin of shrimps in a small basin as if they were free and brought them to the big bird as a reward.

Duobao enjoyed it even more. He bought a lot of pork some time ago, some of which he ate on the same day, and some of which his wife made into sweet sausages.

This kind of sausage is very fragrant. Usually, we only cut a piece of it every few days when cooking at home. Duobao has been craning his neck to salivate for a long time, but he has never been able to taste it.

Today I directly cut a small piece and mixed it with rice. When I brought it to Duobao, Duobao didn't dare to eat it. He thought it was a mistake and the food for humans was brought to him by mistake.

He looked at Liang Ziqiang and Chen Xiangbei several times before he confirmed it, and he was immediately overjoyed.

After taking a few bites, I almost uttered human language...

Back in the house, the couple added the latest one thousand and twenty and took a look. They found that the recent increase in the thickness of their savings was visibly increasing with the naked eye.

Not to mention the "floating wealth" blacktail winter, recently one after another, they have taken down the nest of lampreys, and the snapper island that came to their doorstep, plus they caught a large number of cat sharks using the clever method of drift nets...

A while ago, I had only saved up about 4,000 yuan, but now it has exceeded 6,000 and reached 6,100!
