Chapter 64 Longline Fisherman
Due to the sudden visit of the old lady.
The whole family was in a bad mood, and the mother Chen Huiying was very depressed. She didn't even wait for the apology of this stubborn old lady.
Unexpectedly, she got Alzheimer's disease.
This made her feel angry and she had no place to vent for a while.
She understood that she would probably never wait for the day when the old lady apologized to her in this life.
And Li Yaoguo also got the longevity lock given to him by his uncle. Looking at his name engraved on it, he sighed again and again.
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Duoyu ran to the pier and spent 30 yuan to buy a bundle of longline fishing gear from the boss who specialized in selling fishing gear at the pier.
As a fisherman born by the sea, it was obviously impossible for him to fish with a fishing rod.
For Li Duoyu.
Going out to sea for fishing, it was a bit embarrassing if he didn't bring hundreds of hooks.
Li Duoyu called Chen Wenchao.
There must be at least two people to do longline fishing. One person can't do it.
After the local dog came.
At the dock, Li Duoyu went to the fishmonger Lao Zhuang and bought about 20 kilograms of miscellaneous fish and shrimps, mostly barramundi and sword shrimps.
It's a pity that no one digs up sea centipedes now, otherwise it would be better to use it as bait than fish and shrimp.
This time he also brought a large bucket and bought several needles for injection from the doctor classmate.
The purpose was to make it alive.
After everything was ready, Li Duoyu drove the sampan to Xijia Reef, which was not far from Dandan Island.
On their side, fishermen generally call those small islands without fresh water, vegetation, and full of stones reefs.
Xijia Reef is five or six kilometers away from Dandan Island, only one twentieth of the size of Dandan Island, and is surrounded by reefs and gravel.
Large ships generally avoid Xijia Reef.
And those trawlers dare not come here to cast nets, and even fishermen who cast sticky nets have a headache for this sea area.
When going down, the net is good, but when it is collected, it will always be cut into a mess by the reef. In this era when fishing nets are not cheaper than fish, fishermen are reluctant to come to Xijia Reef to cast nets.
It is also because of this special geographical environment.
The ecology of Xijia Reef has not suffered particularly serious damage. Even in later generations, it is still a sea fishing sanctuary in the minds of many anglers.
Several anglers have caught dozens of kilograms of wild perch near Xijia Reef, which is a giant grouper, also known as dragon grouper, and sold it for tens of thousands of yuan.
When Li Duoyu's small sampan arrived at Xijia Reef, he immediately felt the horror of the sea.
The waves are more than half a meter high.
It can be clearly felt that the waves in this sea area are particularly fierce, and they can splash two or three high water when hitting the reef.
In some places, strange whirlpools appeared when the waves returned.
To be honest, Li Duoyu was a little scared to come to such a place to catch fish, but the local dog Chen Wenchao yawned while sitting on the boat board.
Li Duoyu found that for so many years, everyone had called him by the wrong nickname. They should not call him a local dog, but a water dog.
As long as he was not in a car.
He seemed very relaxed in the sea.
This was also the reason why Li Duoyu took him with him when he went out to sea to fish. With him, his life safety would be guaranteed.
About 30 meters away from the West Jia Reef, the sampan was pushed and swayed by the waves.
Li Duoyu threw down the buoy.
His fishing route today was very simple, which was to put these longline fishing groups around the West Jia Reef and specifically catch the big fish nearby.
Li Duoyu was responsible for driving the boat.
Chen Wenchao was responsible for hanging bait and releasing the rope, usually a fish hook every two meters, one for barramundi and one for shrimp.
Unfortunately, these were all dead fish and shrimp.
If they were alive, the effect might be better. Every time they were released for a certain distance, they had to tie a stone to let the fishing rope sink to the bottom of the sea.
It took about an hour.
The two put a kilometer-long fishing rope into the sea, which was just enough to circle the West Jia Reef.
Next.
Just wait for the fish to take the bait. In later times, this kind of fishing method would require at least one night to wait, but in this era, Li Duoyu felt that he could reel in the rope in two or three hours.
It would take more than half an hour to drive back from Xijia Reef to Dandan Island, and it was not necessary to go back and forth.
Li Duoyu moored the boat at Xijia Reef, where the waves were slightly smaller, and then tied the boat to the reef.
The two did not go to the reef, because there was nothing valuable on the reef except bird droppings and noisy seagulls.
There were many pen holders (dog claw snails) on the reef. In such a place with strong winds and waves, they grew very well, even bigger than the pen holders on the Badwater Bay.
But the difficulty of picking them increased several times. If he was not really so poor that he could not afford to eat, Li Duoyu really did not intend to take such a risk.
The two waited quietly on the boat.
Li Duoyu waited for less than half an hour, and he felt a little dizzy from being shaken.
The boat was shaking while it was driving and the boat was shaking while it was not moving.
It's really two different experiences.
But the local dog Chen Wenchao was grinning over there. He finally couldn't help asking:
"Brother Yu, let me ask you a question."
"If a woman gave your family dumplings on the winter solstice, what do you think she would think?"
Li Duoyu knew without thinking that the woman was Liu Xiaolan, and replied directly:
"Is it possible that she saw that your family didn't make dumplings, so she gave you some to eat?"
Chen Wenchao shook his head:
"No, my grandma and I made some dumplings yesterday, but she still sent me some."
"In addition to your family, did she send any to other neighbors?"
Hearing this, Chen Wenchao's originally good mood suddenly sank to the bottom. Brother Yu was right. In addition to sending dumplings to his family, Liu Xiaolan also sent dumplings to Zhao Dahai, Wu Yaodong and others.
What does she mean by this?
Is it for everyone?
Chen Wenchao asked with a bitter face: "Brother Yu, then tell me, why did she send dumplings to so many people?"
Li Duoyu sighed:
"Why else? I'm getting married now. I want to tie up a few more fish so that I can raise the price later."
"Ah, Brother Yu."
"What do you mean by that?"
"It means, congratulations on becoming Liu Xiaolan's investigation object, and by the way, becoming a fish in her fish pond."
"So, she is still a little interested in me, and I still have a chance."
Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and thought that in the future, he should not be called a local dog or a water dog, but a licking dog.
Just as they were waiting for the fish to be hooked.
Some fishermen came to the West Liga Reef in a sampan, and were about to set a sticky net where they put the longline hook.
After seeing who it was, Chen Wenchao cursed on the spot: "Zhao Dahai, you don't have eyes, do you? I'm putting the fishing line there, and you're putting the net next to the fishing line."
When Zhao Dahai saw that it was the local dog Chen Wenchao, he immediately cursed back: "Let go of your shit, I want to put the net where you want, it's none of your business."
There are only two people in Chen Wenchao's family.
They are a vulnerable group on Dandan Island, and during this period, they actually wanted to snatch Liu Xiaolan from him. Now that they meet, they will definitely kill him.
Just when Zhao Dahai was about to put the net, he heard someone shouting at him:
"Dahai, can you change the place?"
"If you put the net down like this, my fishing lines and your sticky net will definitely be entangled together."
After seeing who was talking, Zhao Dahai put away the sticky net on the spot and said with a smile: "Brother Yu is here too, sorry, sorry, then I'll change the place to put the net."
After seeing Li Duoyu was also there, Zhao Dahai had a dark face and rowed the sampan away. There are two surnames on Dandan Island that cannot be messed with. One of them is surnamed Wang, who almost controls all the big and small affairs of Dandan Island.
The other one is surnamed Li, who has many people and has many brothers and sisters. Half of the village is their relatives.
If there is a conflict.
Their family must have the most people.
And he also heard from his family that their Li family has a great background and has many relatives in Rongcheng.
