The second pit was larger and deeper. By the time they had plundered all the seafood in the first pit, only one-third of the water level in the second pit had gone down.

The three of them were not in a hurry and sat there smoking.

Zhao Ping also looked at the income of the two people who went to sea before. Hearing Zhao Qin say that people may come to this island often, he calculated in his mind and said: "This island is only about an hour away from the pier. When the weather is good, Wooden boats can come, and it’s normal for people to come often.”

"Brother, now that the sea has opened, will we still focus on ground trapping and longline fishing in the future?"

Zhao Ping also looked at Zhao Qin. He originally wanted to go back to discuss it with his brother tonight. But when Ah He asked, he also wanted to know what his brother was thinking.

"This boat will focus on longline fishing and ground trapping. When we get the new boat, we can try trawling."

There are two types of trawl nets. One is the trawl net in the middle water surface. The boat uses the speed of the boat to float the net in the middle layer of the water surface and sails continuously to let the fish enter the fish net.

The advantage of this kind of operation is that it can catch a large number of fish floating in the middle water surface, and the net is relatively clean and is not easy to hang.

The disadvantage is that once the operation boat is stopped, the fishing net will lose tension and sink to the bottom. Moreover, the harvest is relatively simple. With the current offshore resources, it is really uncertain how much profit can be made after deducting the fuel cost after a busy day.

There is also a bottom trawler. This kind of net can guarantee the harvest in droughts and floods. Even if it cannot drag any big fish, it will always drag some crabs, shrimps and mushrooms because it is close to the bottom. Every net will never be empty.

The disadvantages are also obvious. First, there is a lot of garbage on the seabed. Most of the garbage on the net is often garbage. Second, it is easy to get caught in the net.

"Since we mainly focus on longline fishing, are we missing some hooks?" Zhao Ping asked again.

Zhao Qin did the math and found that his system now had a total of about 800 merit points, including the two new fish unlocked in the pit. A basket of hooks requires about 1,000 merit points, and he had to earn another 200 points today.

"It depends on the situation tonight. If I go back early, I will buy another basket of hook materials, but I don't have time to do it. I'd better wait for the day when I can't go to sea..."

"You go ahead and buy it. Your sister-in-law and I will be busy together at midnight. Your sister-in-law can take Miaomiao to catch up on her sleep during the day, and I can also take a rest on the boat."

"Okay, you provide the workmanship, and I provide the money to buy the things." Seeing what his elder brother said, Zhao Qin no longer refused.

"Brother, let me contribute part of the money. I can't help." Ah He is nineteen years old after all. Although he is usually heartless, it doesn't mean that he doesn't think about anything.

Now he has a sense of crisis, because in the three-person team, his role is getting smaller and smaller.

The last time we picked bird's nests, it was actually the two brothers who took credit for it, but in the end they gave him 20% without any discount. As for matters on the ship, Brother and Ping had many discussions, and he couldn't get involved.

Zhao Qin's mind was quite delicate, so he could naturally detect Ahe's general thoughts. He hugged his shoulders, put a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Here, light a cigarette for me."

Ah He smiled, took out a lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth.

Only then did Zhao Qin let go of him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How much a basket of hooks costs, you pay 20%, not even a penny less."

"I can wrap it up."

Zhao Ping watched the two playing around and smiled happily. Ah He was not a burden. He was often more skillful than Ah Qin in doing things on the ship.

After another half an hour, a chirping sound came from the puddle. It was very evil, like the sound of a man sucking abalone. All three of them knew that it was because the water pump could not suck in the water.

Turning off the machine, I took a look at the pit and found that there were no big fish, but there were many large and small rocks in the pit, which was considered a natural refuge for crabs.

When he went down to the pit, Zhao Qin heard the sound of a fish flapping for water in a crevice in the rocks. After opening it, he saw three black fish, two big and one small. He caught all three fish into the bucket and released the small one later. Return to the sea.

Seeing that he had caught Heimao, Zhao Ping and Ah He became more motivated.

"Don't mess around. Starting from one end, let's turn over all the stones inside." Zhao Ping said to Ahe.

Ah He was digging something out under the big stone in the middle. When he heard Zhao Ping say this, he stepped back to a corner and started turning over pieces one by one.

There are also a lot of ancient water fish in this pit, and I caught several kilograms at this time. The price of this thing is very cheap. It costs three yuan a kilogram at the purchasing station. They have to pick and choose. They usually take them back to dry the fish.

Zhao Qin caught two very large safflower crabs. These crabs are equally delicious and contain garlic meat. I heard they cost 500 grams per pound. Yes, they are quite expensive.

The biggest pit couldn't withstand the plundering of three strong men. In just ten or twenty minutes, all the fish in this pit were caught.

These two pits were weird, they were mostly crabs. Fortunately, we also caught a few good black ones in this pit.

"From today on, this island will be called Crab Island." Zhao Qin said to the two of them. The reason for naming it is to facilitate communication in the future. Otherwise, it would take a long time to explain when talking about this island. Now, as long as it is said to be Crab Island, everyone will know to point to it. ,

Just like the island that Zhao Qin went to for the first time, it was called Freshwater Island because it had fresh water.

"Aqin, are you still looking for Xiaodao?"

Zhao Qin took out his mobile phone and took a look. They left the pier around 5:30, and with the longline fishing and water pumping, it was almost 11:30 now. The busy time at sea passed quickly.

"Brother, let's collect the longline first, then eat, and we'll see what happens in the afternoon."

The three of them have gone to sea so many times, and Zhao Ping and Ah He have developed the habit of listening to his suggestions, so usually when he speaks, they agree without thinking.

It's not far from the longline fishing island, and it only takes about forty minutes to sail. If you can retrieve the hook quickly, it will take an hour, and you can have dinner at around one o'clock.

As a result, when he was approaching the longline, Ah He suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Brother, look, it's a tiger."

Ahe would imitate Zhao Qin in many places. Zhao Qin called the killer whale Huzi, and Ahe also followed suit.

Zhao Qin followed the direction pointed by A He and saw three killer whales jumping out of the water at the same time.

"Hey, Huzi, come here." Zhao Qin put his hands to his mouth, forming a trumpet shape, and shouted into the distance, then turned to his elder brother and said: "Brother, the boat is sailing over."

In the past, Zhao Ping would have said nonsense, but the last time he saw killer whales, not only were they not in danger, he also gave them gifts, so he did not refute this time, adjusted the rudder slightly, and sailed in the direction where they were. .

After a while, the killer whales seemed to have discovered them. One of the largest ones broke away from the group again and swam towards their fishing boat.

When the tiger approached, it deliberately raised its head above the water and made a squealing sound, which was a bit like the sound of a giant panda cub.

"Oh, you are the only one who can act cute." Zhao Qin was overjoyed. He looked around and happened to see half a bucket of ancient fish caught in the pit before. He picked up the bucket and threw it to Hu Zi's place without even thinking about it.
