Chapter 138: Catching Squid with a Lantern

Just do it.

Li Duoyu began to make fishing nets specially used to catch squid.

Although the speed of catching squid is not slow, as a ruthless fishing machine, it is natural to pay attention to efficiency.

The fishing nets used to catch squid are different from ordinary fishing nets, more like the cages of large fishing rafts.

The only difference is.

The fishing net can be raised and lowered.

Li Duoyu first bought twenty old large foam buoys from a shop on the pier that specializes in selling second-hand fishing gear.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining moso bamboo from the factory building was carried to the beach, and the pontoon was fixed to the moso bamboo with iron wire and brown rope.

In less than two hours, Li Duoyu built a simple cage measuring eight by eight meters.

And he made a bamboo tube that was opened at the four corners of the cage, and passed the brown rope through it. A stone weighing more than ten kilograms was fixed underneath, and this was used as a counterweight.

Chen Dongqing, who was completely unable to help at the side, was completely dumbfounded. As a college student majoring in marine, he understood after just a few glances that Li Duoyu was using a light fishing device.

But his proficiency is too high. Even if he is an experienced fisherman for decades, his hands and feet may not be as nimble as him.

Seeing that his uncle was suspicious, Li Duoyu said directly:

"This is what an old fisherman taught me when I was on Dongshan Island last year. It is specially used to catch small pipes. It is much faster than fishing."

Chen Dongqing had a dark face.

"Can you tell me in one breath where the goods have been in the past few years?"

Li Duoyu thought carefully for a moment: "There are probably too many to count. Maybe except for foreign countries, I have visited all the coastal areas in our country."

"Just blow hard."

"If you don't believe me, then ask and try."

Chen Dongqing said on the spot: "Do you know where Zengmu Ansha is?"

"I know, the southernmost point of our territory."

"Fuck, how did you know that?"

"Can I read newspapers? We just declared our sovereignty last year."

The corners of Chen Dongqing's mouth twitched.

Anyway, now that Agui is gone, no one seems to be able to expose him, and because of this incident, everyone's reputation for Li Duoyu is getting better and better.

I used to think that he was a street kid who didn't care about his family. His wife was pregnant and he still ran out to wander around.

Now the reputation has completely changed.

The uncles and aunts in the village always praise Li Duoyu:

"Duoyu is still great. Others make money by selling goods, so they know how to eat, drink and have fun. Duoyu actually traveled to so many places and learned so many skills."

I often tell my children at home: "You should learn to fish more."

Li Duoyu has completely turned into "someone else's child" and caused a lot of hatred for no reason.

Li Duoyu made a fine net of more than 80 square meters in the fishing gear shop and tied it to the stones at the four corners of the cage. In this way, a net that can sink to the bottom is ready.

Next,

Just do the “upgrade the network” part.

Li Duoyu erected three moso bamboos, tied a pulley borrowed from Uncle San's tugboat to the top, and then passed it through a main rope to pull the net.

A "fishing net" specially used to catch small tubes by light is finally ready.

By the time Li Duoyu was done, the sky had darkened and the tide had begun to rise.

Chen Wenchao, who had been asked by Li Duoyu to borrow a lantern before, came back with a sack of lanterns.

"Brother Yu, I borrowed fourteen lamps."

"good."

After Li Duoyu filled the lanterns with kerosene, they tied them all to a rope. Then, they all were lit and hung under the pulley.

The inky black beach.

It lit up instantly, attracting all the mosquitoes and moths nearby.

At this time, the tide slowly rose to Li Duoyu's knees, and this simple device for catching small pipes also began to shake.

At this time, there were already many small boats fishing for small pipes on the sea surface.

Most of the fishermen on Dandan Island also use lanterns to illuminate the sea.

Because squid have phototaxis, they will gather when they see bright light, which also results in the efficiency of fishing small tubes at night being many times higher than during the day.

Fishermen are taking advantage of it.

Beside the boat, there were a lot of fish hooks specially designed for fishing small pipes, and a shrimp was also strung on the fish hooks.

As long as there are small tubes holding the shrimp behind.

The fisherman immediately lifts it up, and the fishhook below will pierce the small tube, thereby pulling it onto the boat.

Among the fishermen, the Zhao brothers are the most diligent because they have invested all their wealth in abalone farming.

Now the two of them couldn't scrape together five yuan, and the two Hong Kong Islanders had made a huge cake for them alone.

He said that this is only the first phase of investment at present, and if the abalone is well raised, a second phase of investment can be added.

When the second investment begins, the two brothers will be given priority to invest in the company.

This private conversation made the two brothers fish like chickens to make money every day and night, because they planned to take advantage of this time to make more money.

Although the small tube squid is not worth the money.

A kilogram can only be sold for about 15 cents.

But if you fish for one night, you can only make one or two hundred pounds, and you can earn twenty or thirty yuan in one night.

The entire flood season for Xiaoguan Squid lasts for more than a month. If you grasp it, it will definitely not be a problem to make five or six hundred this month.

When the time comes, when it is time to add a second phase of investment, they will also strive to become a major shareholder and invest a few hundred shares.

The two brothers now want to buy a diesel fishing boat in addition to building a new house and marrying a wife.

Because the hand-cranked sampan is really too slow and wastes too much manpower.

Just when the two were complacent, they heard the sound of diesel engine oil "thump thump" and saw a bright light in the distance.

Then.

He heard the old fisherman who was catching small pipes nearby saying: "Today I saw Duoyu that kid knocking on the beach, what has he done again."

"Let's go and take a look."

The two Zhao brothers frowned and watched. They decided to stay away from Li Duoyu first. They had recently asked someone to tell their fortune.

The fortune teller said that the two brothers should not be with people who are too lucky this year.

Otherwise, their fortune will get worse.

After pulling the net cage specially used for catching small pipes to the sea, Li Duoyu stopped the boat.

Put the dozen lanterns close to the sea surface and try to let the light shine into the sea.

Then, start to lower the net, relying on the stones at the four corners to let the fishing net sink to the bottom.

This lasted for about fifteen minutes.

The surface of the net cage became active. You can see many barramundi jumping around there, and many small squids attracted by the light are swimming below.

At this time, Li Duoyu gently pulled the rope to pull up the fishing net, and those barramundi and small squids attracted by the light did not know how to run.

As the fishing net slowly floated to the surface, Chen Wenchao and Chen Dongqing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There were at least hundreds of barramundi and two or three hundred small squids.

Their heads were buzzing.

How could there be so many fish.

Chen Dongqing, who was the first to react, suddenly realized something very important: "Duoyu, give me some work to do, and let me make some money."

Li Duoyu was also dumbfounded. Even he himself could not think that he would catch so many fish. In the future, he also used this method to catch small squids, but the best net only had dozens of them.

How could there be so many.

After seeing so many barramundi, Li Duoyu was also very troubled. This thing is not worth money, only two cents per catty.

But at this rate, it would not be a problem to catch one or two thousand kilograms of barramundi in one night.

It happened that Lao Hu next door was in the barramundi business, so Li Duoyu suggested:

"How about I go back to Lao Hu and ask him to collect the barramundi. We can bring more baskets back, otherwise we may not be able to fill them tonight."

When Chen Wenchao heard that they had to sail back, he hurriedly said:

"No need to sail back. It's so close to the dock. I can just swim back and tell Lao Hu. By the way, I can get another sampan over to catch the fish."

As soon as Chen Wenchao finished speaking.

He took off his clothes and dived into the water.

Li Duoyu finally saw how good Chen Wenchao was. This guy swam too fast.

Damn, if he was trained well, he might have a chance to join the national team. If he was born in a good family with this talent, he might be a celebrity now.

Seeing Chen Wenchao swimming so fast.

Li Duoyu suddenly thought of something and shouted to him: "Xiao Chao, bring a charcoal stove, an iron pot and clean water, we will eat on the boat tonight."

"Got it, Brother Yu."

Then, Li Duoyu looked at the uncle who looked excited but didn't know how to work and said:

"If you want to make money, work quickly."

Chen Dongqing scratched his head.

"Next, what should I do."

"Have you become stupid from studying? Hurry up and use the net to scoop up all these fish and sort them out, otherwise how can I catch the next net."
