Chapter 146 Accept the reality! This time it can only be a small profit!
When Zhao Dahai returned home, he took out blue crabs from the bamboo basket and counted them. There were thirty-two of them. They weighed them for a total of twenty-seven kilograms. The smallest one weighed a little more than five taels, and the largest one weighed more than two kilograms.
Old blue crabs with huge tongs and barnacles on their bodies can be sold for a lot of money. They are all put in a big bucket, sprinkled with some sea water to moisturize, and placed in a cool place. They will not die in ten days and a half, so there is no need to put them there specially.
Oxygenation in sea water pool.
Zhao Dahai went to the back of the house and took some small dried bamboos. On the way back, he had already figured out how to deal with those crab and tiger fish. The crab and tiger fish that was hooked not long ago ran back into the hole and drilled deeper, unable to pull it out.
, the method is very simple, don’t leave the line too long, the hooked crab and tiger fish will not be able to get back to the depths of the hole, and will not be unable to be pulled out.
Zhao Dahai chopped fifty or sixty sections of bamboo that were as long as a finger, took out a thicker fishing line, cut it to one meter long, tied one end to the bamboo, and the other end to a hook. The crab and tiger fish are quite ferocious, and it takes too long to set the hook.
It is very easy to swallow the hook to death, and the hook will rupture the intestines and the hook will not survive and cannot be sold at a good price. Use a larger hook, which can greatly reduce the probability of this, and at the same time prevent small crabs and tiger fish from taking the bait.
Zhao Dahai made preparations and went out again immediately. It was still early, so he put the hook in place. When collecting blue crabs tomorrow, he could collect them again to see if he could catch crab and tiger fish.
After Zhao Dahai finished placing the hook, it was just after 12 noon. He went home and had lunch. He remembered that the chicken pen he built at the beginning was a bit small. Now that the chickens have all grown up, he had been thinking a few days ago that he would have to rebuild it when he had time.
A big one. After harvesting the second trip of blue crabs tomorrow, we will sell them and go out to sea the day after tomorrow. We won’t have much time in the next few days, so we have to do this well today.
Zhao Dahai went out with a hatchet and went up the mountain to cut bamboo. He recirculated the perimeter of the original location and expanded the area by two or three times. Now the chickens have a larger range of activities and can do things like free range.
Don't even think about it. Cats, especially dogs, are not vegetarians. Not to mention that chickens released may wander into other people's vegetable fields and cause a lot of trouble.
After Zhao Dahai finished working on the chicken pen, he checked the vegetable garden to see if there was any damage to the fence. He repaired some and strengthened the shelves. He was busy until about five o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Dashun watered the vegetable garden, picked a handful of beans and two cucumbers, washed his hands and feet, went home and cooked dinner, fried beans and bacon, and soaked some sea melon seeds and dried meat in hot water.
Stir-fried cucumber, and seaweed and egg drop soup, two dishes and one soup, simple and simple. Except for the bacon, you have to buy these dishes, and you don’t have to spend money on anything else.
Zhao Dahai set up a table in the yard and called his grandma to eat. After the meal, he put away the dishes and went out for a walk. He originally thought it would take a while, but his grandma Zhong Cuihua immediately nodded in agreement and thought about it before reacting.
Come here, I must have said last time that you need to be in good health to raise your great-grandchildren.
Zhao Dahai sighed. People really have to have lofty goals. Once they have goals, they are motivated. In the past, no matter what I said, it was useless. I had to weave fishing nets at home to make more money. Now I just say it, and there is no need to do it next time.
I said to myself that I must take the initiative to go out for a walk. This is a great thing. As I get older, sitting and weaving fishing nets all day is really not good. Now that I can make money, I don’t have to do this anymore.
Zhao Dahai and Zhong Cuihua strolled to the drying ground in the middle of the village. At first glance, they were all old men and old ladies. After a while, they left alone. When they arrived at the pier, they found that there were still very few fishing boats docked, so they got on their own
I have packed up my things on the fishing boat, and will go to the town tomorrow morning to sell blue crabs. I may go out to sea for a while in the afternoon, and I will have to start fishing seriously the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Zhao Dahai had just tidied up the things on the fishing boat when he saw Lei Dayou walking over.
"Uncle Dayou."
"Have you gone fishing in the past two days?"
Zhao Dahai said hello and asked about what fish were in the sea these days.
Lei Dayou shook his head and did not go to sea for the past two days.
"crazy!"
"They all flocked to catch the sea bass."
"With so many fishing boats crowded together, what kind of fish can they catch?!"
Lei Dayou shook his head as he spoke. In the past few days, anyone who has a fishing boat or goes out to sea to fish will catch sea bass.
Zhao Dahai smiled and said this was a good opportunity to catch other fish, shrimps and crabs.
Lei Dayou shook his head again.
"ah?"
"What's wrong?"
"Isn't that what it is?"
Zhao Dahai is very strange. Most of the fishing boats are going to catch sea bass, and they are all crowded in a few limited places. There must be few fishing boats in the places where other fish, shrimps and crabs are caught. Lei Dayou, Zhong Shizhu, and Liu Bin can catch other fish.
Shrimp and crab.
Zhao Dahai asked carefully and found out that Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin had gone fishing every day for the past two days. They also thought that without competition from other fishing boats, they would be able to catch a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs. What they didn't expect was that they only had five or six fish every day.
A pound of small fish.
Zhao Dahai was a little speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Why!"
"It's really difficult to go to sea."
"It gets harder every year."
…
"This sea is really full of ghosts!"
"Does it mean that except for sea bass, all other fish, shrimps and crabs are missing?"
…
"Why!"
"So many fishing boats are forced to crowd together. Who says that fish can't be caught elsewhere?"
…
Lei Dayou was very helpless.
Zhao Dahai asked Lei Dayou if he would go fishing tomorrow.
Lei Dayou shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to go to sea, but that there were no fish at all. Not only would he not go to sea tomorrow, but Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin would not go to sea either.
Zhao Dahai thought for a while, pointed to the mangroves in the distance, and said that it had been raining continuously some time ago, and there were no blue crabs in the mangroves. After thinking about it for a while in the past few days, he estimated that they were all on that beach, and there were ground crabs.
If so, you can go and let it go, maybe you will gain something.
Lei Dayou's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. He had a ground cage at home, and he had nothing to do. He didn't want to go out to sea to release the net, so he could just put down the ground cage.
"ha!"
"The sea!"
"this is a good idea!"
"I'll go back and find the ground cage now, put it down later, and see if I can catch something tomorrow."
"It's hard to say whether we can make money, but it's definitely no problem to get some food. Let's get together."
Lei Dayou turned around and left.
Zhao Dahai knew that there must be blue crabs on the tidal flat in front of the mangrove forest, or other things, such as shrimps. He didn’t have a ground trap. It was not very cost-effective to buy a new ground trap to catch these blue crabs. He would mainly focus on fishing next time.
, slowly began to put out fishing nets. Lei Dayou had ready-made ones that he could put out. As Lei Dayou said, making money is not necessarily a matter of making a delicious meal. There is no problem at all.
Zhao Dahai looked at the time and saw that it was almost nine o'clock. He returned to the village sunbathing area and called his grandmother Zhang Cuihua, who was enjoying the shade, to go home and rest.
early morning.
The chirping of the birds in the forest was like thunder, deafening.
Zhao Dahai felt that his ears were deafened, so he picked up a stone and threw it into the tree. A flock of birds flew up. After less than two minutes of silence, one bird started chirping, and then a hundred birds started chirping.
Zhao Dahai had no idea. He frowned and walked forward with the bamboo basket on his back. When he got to the edge of the canal, he went into the water and collected a circle of blue crabs. There were not many, only seven or eight, and they were all about five taels in size. This meant that here
Almost all the blue crabs were caught, and the remaining ones were either small or cunning and shrewd, and not worth spending time on.
Zhao Dahai started to collect crab and tiger fish. Yesterday, he rushed over and put dozens of new hooks to catch only eight fish. They were not big in size, about four and a half pounds. He couldn't help but be a little disappointed. No one has caught them for so many years. The size and quantity
They all said no, put away all the hooks, and wouldn't come back to this place for a while.
Zhao Dahai walked out of the woods and went home. He packed up some blue crabs and went to Liu Gang in the town to sell them. The price of meat crabs was not high, forty yuan per catty. He caught a total of thirty catties of blue crabs in two days and sold them for one thousand two hundred.
The crabs and fish were not big in size, so they sold for a total of three hundred yuan, adding up to fifteen hundred yuan.
"What?"
"This live sea bass weighs seven or eight pounds, only twenty-five pounds?"
…
"Isn't it collected at thirty-five yesterday?"
"Did it drop so much today?"
…
After Zhao Dahai finished selling the blue crabs, he stood and watched for a while. Most of the fish sold were sea bass. However, within a few days, there were many fishing boats going out to sea and the output was large. The price of sea bass plummeted. He was very fortunate to have this year’s fish.
During the sea bass season, he and Zhong Shizhu seized the opportunity and made a lot of money. Now that they caught sea bass at this time, they couldn’t sell it for a price, so they could only make hard money. I was originally thinking about going fishing in the sea tomorrow.
Bass, when you see this situation, you give up immediately.
Zhao Dahai rode his motorcycle to the fishing gear shop. He found a reef a few days ago and caught a lot of big Shi Jiugong. One big fish ran away directly. He originally wanted to catch this fish the next day.
, but in the next few days I either fished for sea bass or caught sea bass, and after another day of rest, it was time to get ready to take revenge on this fish.
