Chapter 85 Spring Thunder, Wind and Waves Come (Please Read Later)
On the fishing raft.
Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao sat on bamboo chairs, listening to the radio while fishing.
Li Duoyu wanted to get a fishing rod, but there was no bamboo suitable for making fishing rods on Dandan Island.
If you want a fishing rod, you have to go to Dazhu Village to find it.
The way they fished was also very simple. They just used the hand line, and the bait was the local sandworm, a long worm that looked very similar to a centipede.
And this kind of thing, like anemones, sea intestines, and pen holders, fishermen would not eat it at all in this era.
In later times, it became a treasure. The price of wild sea centipedes once soared to two or three hundred yuan per catty, until they were mass-produced and the price dropped.
There is an advantage of using sea centipedes as bait.
It is an arthropod. Even if it is caught by a fish hook, it is not so easy to die. It is very active on the seabed.
And the more diligently it struggles to break free, the more likely those predatory and ferocious fish will notice it.
In addition, the middle fingers of Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao kept shaking the fishing line at a very high frequency.
Seeing such an arrogant sea centipede.
How could the sea fish bear it, of course it would bite.
Sure enough, Li Duoyu shook for less than a few minutes, and suddenly felt the fishing line on his finger tighten.
Another fish bit the hook.
After learning from the experience of cutting his hands by the fishing line and the fish hook last time, both of them took protective measures this time and wore cotton gloves.
Not long after, a small milk perch weighing more than three pounds was pulled up.
Chen Wenchao also caught a black porgy.
Since the two often make nests on the fishing raft, there are quite a lot of sea fish below, if you fish seriously.
It is definitely not a problem to catch dozens of them a day. Unfortunately, there is a muddy bottom under the fishing raft.
The species caught are relatively simple, either sea bass or black porgy.
And these fish, recently, all can't be sold at a high price. Since he used the fixed net, there are now more than 20 fixed nets on the island.
The number of sea fish produced by Dandan Island every day is very stable, which directly drives down the price.
Of course, there are many reasons for the low price. One is that during the festival, everyone ate too much seafood.
They are tired of eating and want to change their taste.
Another reason is that it is the spring fishing season now, and the seafood production is too large, and there is a situation of oversupply again.
There are fewer fishmongers at the dock.
So at this time, the price of a pound of black porgy is only five cents, and the price of sea bass is only three cents. You can't make a few dollars even if you fish for a whole day.
Although it's cheap, it's also money.
But when they were halfway through fishing, several uninvited guests came. After seeing the group of crying monsters, Li Duoyu knew that today's fishing was over early.
When the white dolphins came, the perch and porgy near the fishing raft were all scared away instantly.
Erbaiwu became very happy, jumping on the fishing raft and talking to the white dolphins in dog language.
After seeing the white dolphins.
Li Duoyu caught a few small perch and threw them to them. Maybe because they were fed too much, this family of white dolphins was very close to them.
Every few days, they would come to the kelp field and even let Li Duoyu touch their heads.
After catching the big fish.
Li Duoyu, who was in a good mood, finally said to Chen Wenchao: "Chaozi, there is something that I may have to trouble you for."
Hearing Li Duoyu call him "Chaozi".
Chen Wenchao couldn't help but feel nervous. When he was not doing well before, everyone called him a local dog.
Since he started to make money seriously, everyone stopped calling him a local dog. The elders changed their names to call him Xiaochao, and the new generation of street urchins also started to call him Brother Chao.
But Li Duoyu rarely called him "Chaozi". Every time he called him like this, there must be something wrong.
"Brother Yu, what's the matter?"
"Actually, it's nothing serious."
"You don't need to be so nervous, it's nothing serious, I just want you to go on a business trip."
Chen Wenchao had a bad feeling and had already guessed: "Do you want me to go to Dazhu Village?"
"Chaozi, you are getting more and more powerful. I didn't even tell you, but you guessed it. This time I want to buy four trucks of bamboo from Brother Ou."
Chen Wenchao smiled bitterly.
Last time he vomited like a dog on the bus, but now his sister-in-law's belly is so big that Brother Yu really can't get away, but it's good that if he goes alone, he won't have to take a bus.
Chen Wenchao has decided to leave early tomorrow, bring an extra pair of Jiefang shoes to walk into Dazhu Village, and bring a hatchet for self-defense.
"Brother Yu, when should I go?"
"I can leave tomorrow. I have written to Brother Ou. When the time comes, you just need to bring the money up."
I hope that he will never meet Brother Ou on the road again. He really doesn't want to vomit all the way.
When the two men had just collected their fishing lines and were about to return to the harbor, they found that something was wrong with the sky, and dark clouds were rolling.
A thunderclap exploded out of nowhere.
The white dolphin that was playing with the idiot was frightened by the thunder and went into the sea.
Then, a rainstorm came and a strong wind blew on the sea.
This was the first thunder after the beginning of spring.
For people who grow crops:
When the spring thunder sounds, everything grows!
But for the fishermen on the coast, the spring thunder means that the sea surface temperature has begun to rise, and the rainy season and extreme weather will also come one after another.
From the day when the spring thunder sounded, fishermen had to observe the weather and wind and waves very carefully when going out to sea.
The rainstorm hit the bamboo house, making a crackling sound, and the idiot was very happy to play in the rain and lick the rain water.
The white dolphin that had just been frightened came back with courage. After seeing the idiot playing in the water, he spit out a stream of water from his mouth, splashing it in the face, making it bark in anger.
Before long, the rain was getting heavier.
The sky darkened quickly.
The water curtains falling from the bamboo roof turned into water columns.
At this moment, the visibility of the sea surface was less than 50 meters, and the sea surface was blown by the strong wind to form small white-headed waves.
Li Duoyu felt something was wrong. In the past, when spring thunder sounded, heavy rains often occurred.
But not this big.
Now the fishing raft has begun to shake, and even the sound of "creaking" can be heard frequently, and even the sound of bamboo bursting can be heard.
After encountering this sudden sea condition, Chen Wenchao also became nervous. Although he felt that he was a good swimmer, he was also weak when encountering such waves, but what he was more worried about now was
"Brother Yu, the waves are so big, can our fishing raft hold up?"
"It's hard to say."
Li Duoyu's face was solemn. Logically, this level of strong wind and rain should not appear at this time.
But he, who has lived two lives, knows very well that the weather in this world has never been reasonable to you, and disasters often happen in unpredictable situations.
"Let's go, leave here first."
Li Duoyu picked up the idiot on the spot, braved the rain, threw it on the sampan first, and then got on the sampan.
And Chen Wenchao wanted to use the scoop net to catch the sea fish in the net cage, Li Duoyu scolded: "It's time, and you still care about the fish. I don't care about so many kelp."
Chen Wenchao looked at the hundreds of fish in the net cage, and his face was full of reluctance. The hard work of the past half month was all here.
If the wind and waves are bigger, the fishing raft will definitely not be able to hold up. Seeing that Li Duoyu has started the diesel engine.
Chen Wenchao had no choice but to jump on the sampan.
In the rainstorm
The small sampan rose and fell in the wind and waves, but finally returned to the dock safely.
