Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

"Clatter!"

When the fish's activity space was reduced to the last bay of water by the fishing net, the fish rolled, jumped and struggled, splashing countless silver water lights, instantly igniting the joy of harvest in the hearts of several people. It was time for the mermaid battle.

The strong prey on the weak, this is the way of nature. No matter how technology and civilization develop, this is an unchanging truth within a certain range.

Li Laoer was splashed with water by several jumping fish. The cold water drops irritated his skin, but he felt extremely refreshed.

If you can catch big cargoes, you can make money, and if you can make money, you will be motivated.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sea is closed in the twelfth lunar month and no one goes out to sea or catches fish, and as the New Year is approaching, everyone wants to buy a fish to share in the joy of abundance every year, and they want to take the opportunity to make some quick money.

"If I had known that I could catch fish this way, why would I risk going out to sea?"

Naonao said with a smile: "Isn't this the method that Yubaoer taught us? Besides, there are fewer low tides, but we can go out to sea every day."

Biaozi said: "We can't go out to sea on rainy and windy days."

Erdan: "My grandfather said that fishermen depend on the weather for their livelihood, so farming is the foundation."

Fushui Village has the sea and some hills and mountains. Villagers can go to the sea and farm, but the land is not much and not fertile, so the grain output is limited.

Li Yuer repeated in his mind the phrase "depending on the weather for a living". If only he could raise livestock like he did in his previous life, he wouldn't have to rely entirely on the weather for a living.

"Pull it up like last time?" Nao Nao asked.

Biaozi: "I can't pull it! It seems to be stuck!"

Erdan: "Brother Erlang, can you see if there are any rocks hanging in the water?"

"Okay!" Li Erlang used the net to explore the water, trying to find the stone hidden under the water. Suddenly he felt his hand swing, followed by a resistance, but the resistance quickly moved away.

How is this going?

Li Erlang shouted to Erdan and Biaozi, "It's weird, there seems to be something under the water."

Erdan and Biaozi's hands were already a little sore, and it was not a good idea to keep controlling the fishing net.

Li Yuer said to Nao Nao, "We can only wait until the water is clearer. How about we take care of Er Dan and Biao Zi for a while?"

So, Erdan and Biaozi were replaced by Li Yuer and Naonao.

Li Yuer: "Brother, don't fish yet. Wait until the water is clear and see what it is."

After five or six minutes of persistence, the muddy water finally began to become clear.

"Look! What is this? It's so big! I'm rich! I'm rich!" Erlang opened his arms excitedly and gestured, his voice full of surprise.

A strange fish that was more than half a meter long was hiding among the water plants. The water plants were sparse and could not block its huge body at all.

But the fish seemed to be playing hide-and-seek, hiding its big head in the water plants, with its body and tail exposed.

"where?"

Erdan and Biaozi didn't have water shoes, so they couldn't get into the water. They were so anxious that they turned around and around on the shore. They also wanted to see what kind of fish this big fish that was as long as their arms was. Could it be a giant grouper? Please bless the goddess of the sea, it must be a giant grouper!

In the end, Erdan and Biaoqi switched the positions of Naonao and Li Yuer. Li Yuer went into the water wearing whale leather boots and walked towards Li Erlang with light and slow steps, fearing that he would muddy the water again.

Li Yuer took a look and found that it was actually an underage finless porpoise. The little guy was very cute, with a round head and eyes full of fear.

"What's the point? This thing doesn't taste good, so we have to throw it away." Li Yuer said regretfully.

"It's not delicious? If it's not delicious, why did you grow up like this?" Li Erlang complained, "How do you know it's not delicious?"

Li Erlang was not giving up. If such a big fish was valuable, it would surely be sold for one or two taels of silver.

Before, when the Li family went to Nongchaolou to sell whale meat, Lai Fu mentioned the Yangtze River dolphin.

"Brother Laifu said that Nongchaolou used to buy pigs from the Yangtze River (in the local dialect, Yangtze River dolphin) at high prices. The meat was fishy and unpalatable, and it made people want to vomit."

"Ah?!" Even the chef of Nongchaolou couldn't suppress the fishy smell. This time, Li Erlang gave up.

Nao Nao was also in a dilemma. "What should I do with this thing blocking the net? It's so big, alive, and slippery. I won't be able to catch it if I throw it out!"

Biaozi: "This guy just came to our website on purpose to cause trouble!"

Erdan: "How about we catch it and feed it to the pigs. Pigs don't mind the smell of fish."

Biaozi: “That’s a good idea!”

The pigs on the beach are also fed with seafood such as fish and shrimp. Whenever the fish and shrimp cannot be sold, the fishermen will feed them to the pigs.

Li Yuer likes small animals the most, and tries not to harm them if possible. Pigs don’t have to eat finless porpoises.

Humans eat livestock and animals for survival, but unnecessary killing destroys the ecological environment.

Li Yuer found an excuse that everyone could accept and said, "This little porpoise weighs at least thirty or forty kilograms. We still have to climb over the eastern slope of the mountain. Besides, the bucket is still used to hold the fish, so there is no room for food to feed the pigs."

Biaozi: "Yes, making money is important. Huahua (Biaozi's pig) can eat anything."

Li Yuer heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Let's use the seine method to catch fish!"

"What is a seine?"

Li Yuer: "We don't just bring the fish ashore. We gather the nets together and then catch them from the inside out.

Since you don’t have water shoes, you will be responsible for holding the net and surrounding it. My brother and I will be responsible for catching them, and Naonao will be responsible for picking them up on the shore.”

So, under the guidance of Li Yuer, Erdan and Biaozi crisscrossed the fishing nets to form a treasure circle, in which the finless porpoise was also enclosed, but they only caught other seafood and ignored the little finless porpoise.

Li Erlang and Li Yuer started to go into the water to catch fish.

The water in December was too cold. After standing in the water for ten to eight minutes, even my cotton-padded shoes felt a little cold.

Li Yuer urged Li Erlang: "Let's hurry up!"

The water is icy cold, so I can't work on it for a long time, I can only use a scoop net.

The warm winter sun cast golden waves on the water, giving the cold water a layer of warmth. Li Yuer and Li Erlang wore thick cotton clothes, holding a scoop net in their hands, and they concentrated on observing the movements under the water with sharp eyes.

After locking onto the target, it attacks fiercely like a hawk hunting, and fat fish are caught in the scoop net.

Li Yuer seized the opportunity and quickly pulled in the net. With a beautiful arc, the big fish was thrown onto the shore by Li Yuer.

Nao Nao, who had been waiting there, pounced and pressed the fish to the ground.

"It's a real sea bream! Not bad! Not bad!"

Everyone smiled happily, "Red snapper is delicious. At this time of year, it's no problem to sell it for three or five cents a pound!"

The weather was cold and the water was chilly, so it was not suitable to stay in the water for a long time. The two men could only make quick decisions. No matter what kind of fish it was, as long as it was a fish, once caught, the two men would throw it to the shore.

If you come across a big fish that you can’t shake off, you’ll drag it ashore yourself and then go back into the water to continue catching it.

The sea is a huge treasure house. As long as you can concentrate and listen to the subtle sounds of the sea, you can discover endless treasures from it.

The fun of going to the beach is not only the harvest, but also the discovery and creation.

Discover more edible seafood and create more delicious seafood dishes.

Li Yuer grew up by the sea in her previous life and had extensive experience in catching seafood. She knew where seafood liked to hide.

For example, now she discovered a flower eel hiding in the crevices of the rocks and camouflaging itself.

Li Yuer moved lightly, even blending his breathing into the sea breeze, for fear of disturbing the eel. The moray eel's body is very smooth, but its movement speed underwater is not slow at all. They are good at escaping and hiding, and are natural lurkers.

Eels are difficult to catch due to their smooth and slender bodies. If they escape this time, it will be difficult to find them again, let alone catch them.

The scoop net is not suitable for catching eels, so Li Yuer switched to fire tongs, aiming at the eel's head.

Li Yuer slowly moved the tongs closer to the eel, waited for the right moment, and clamped it directly. The eel's head was clamped, and its body was instantly wrapped around the tongs rod with considerable force.

"Brother, help me with the scoop net!"

When Li Erlang saw the snake-like thing twisting, he was stunned at first, then shouted: "I was scared to death, I thought it was a sea snake!"

Obviously, he had recognized that this was a very large eel, weighing at least three or four pounds.

Eels are nutritious, taste good, and have few bones, but they are difficult to catch, so they can be sold at a high price among all seafood.

This is the biggest gain of today.
