Chapter 16 Three-swordfish (please collect)
"Let me see."

Shui Wang put his palms on his forehead to block the dazzling eyes and looked at the ship behind him.

"Damn! It seems to be Shuiliang's boat. I think they are following, probably because they want to take advantage of Brother Hua's luck. After all, Brother Hua's luck has been obvious to all in the past three days."

Shui Wang quickly guessed the reason.

For example, today, they caught 18 kilograms of top-quality silver pomfret and sold it for [-] yuan. Who in the village is not envious?Everyone is talking about Zhang Yaohua's good luck!

"Slow down and let me chase them away."

Zhang Yaohua shook his head: "It's not necessary. People will still say that we are overbearing. This sea is not our family's territory."

"It's an advantage for them." Shui Wang said angrily.

Zhang Yaohua asked: "Are the diving equipment sold in the town?"

"Ah! Brother, do you want to buy a diving suit or something? There are some in the town. I went with you to the town two days ago to sell giant anchovies. I even saw them." Zhang Yaowei said.

"That thing is a bit expensive." Shui Wang also said.

A complete set of diving equipment, including masks, snorkels, air bags, oxygen bottles, diving suits, diving gloves, diving shoe covers, diving watches and regulators, etc.

"Go get two or three sets and come back tomorrow." Zhang Yaohua ordered.

"Okay, I'll go!" Shui Wang volunteered and took the job.

He knew very well that if he wanted to hang out with Brother Hua, he had to do more things.Otherwise, why would people take Lian Fei with them?

After a while, Zhang Yaohua was a little confused, why didn't the fish school move?It seems like it's just like staying in place, doesn't it make sense?
Just when he was puzzled, his second brother suddenly said: "Brother, not far ahead is a breeding place. Do you want to go around it?"

what?
Zhang Yaohua was dumbfounded.

He understood immediately.

Made a big oolong.

That school of fish was raised by someone else, so no wonder the school of fish didn’t swim like the silver pomfret in the morning.

"Ahem! Then change the direction! Go over there and don't get close to other people's farms to avoid misunderstandings." Zhang Yaohua said.

He quickly searched for other fish schools.

Shui Wang expressed his opinion: "I think we can bring the ground cage out next time and find a sea area to put it down."

"Okay, good idea."

On the fishing boat behind, four or five young people observed Zhang Yaohua and the others turning around.

"Are you still following?"

"Why do I feel like they are wandering around?"

"It's been almost an hour. I'm afraid there's not enough gas, and I don't know how far they have to go."

They don't add much fuel to the boat. If it travels too far, there won't be enough fuel for the return journey, which will cause big trouble.

"Otherwise, let's forget it! I don't believe it. They just encountered a school of silver pomfret in the morning, and they still had such good luck in the afternoon." Huang Mao said.

They are all streetwalkers in the village, the kind who have nothing to do and idle around all day long.

Shui Wang usually has some interactions with them, but the relationship is not very strong, and he is not a core member of their group.

"Okay! I have placed two rows of floor cages nearby, let's go and collect them! Let's see how much we can sell them. We will go to the town streets for supper and singing tonight. Unfortunately, there are no foot washing or massage shops in our town."

"There is a hair salon. Last time I went..."

"Damn it! How can you eat that old bacon? You're so hungry! Isn't that old guy older than your mother?"

"You know what the heck, that's called a mature woman, aunties have more taste."

……

"They stopped following." Zhang Yaowei noticed what was happening behind him.

"They are probably impatient. I understand them." Shui Wang said with a smile.

The fishing boat sailed for another ten minutes before Zhang Yaohua gave the order. "Cast a net here and see."

Shui Wang had been waiting for his words for a long time. He moved quickly and skillfully.It seems that he has done this kind of work a lot.

Working on a fishing boat, casting and collecting nets is the hardest part.Even though many fishing boats have trolley winches, net winches, etc. to assist in collecting the nets, it is still a dirty and tiring job on the fishing boats.

"It's in stock, Qingzhanyu!"

Ten to twenty minutes later, Shui Wang and Zhang Yaowei closed the net.

I was a little disappointed because it was basically all blue fish.

This is one of the most common marine fish. It is widely distributed, grows quickly, has high yield, and has a strong fishy smell. Not many people like to eat it, so the price is not high. It is common to pay three to five yuan per pound.

To put it bluntly, tilapia is more expensive than that.

Bluefish is usually canned or rendered into cod liver oil.

Cod liver oil is no stranger to those born in the 70s and 80s, it is simply a childhood memory.

At that time, adults said that cod liver oil was a high-end nutritional product.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a lot of waste waiting to be done, and the modern pharmaceutical industry started almost from scratch. In that era when there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, malnutrition and diseases were high, and the national nutritional and health level urgently needed to be improved.

For example, rickets, also known as vitamin D deficiency rickets, was a childhood disease characterized by bone lesions with a very high incidence rate at that time. Pediatric rickets was also listed as the top four pediatric diseases that are focused on prevention and treatment in my country.

In the international medical community at that time, it had long been a consensus that the vitamin D rich in cod liver oil could effectively prevent and treat rickets.

Therefore, before medical treatment was underdeveloped, cod liver oil became a must-have for many families.Especially for children, give them two spoonfuls of food when they have nothing to do.

"Hey! There are four saury fish, weighing several kilograms. I made a profit."

The moment the fishing net opened, Zhang Yaowei saw the swordfish mixed in it.

"That look in your eyes is bad! The four tails definitely weigh more than ten pounds." Shui Wang corrected.

He also became happy.

The front part of the back of this fish is raised, and the appearance is very beautiful. There are nine orange diagonal strips on the body, each fin is orange, and the dorsal fin has a blue longitudinal strip parallel to the base.

The swordfish is easy to identify, "parrot's beak, zebra body, sika deer tail" is how it is described.

It only lives in places with clear water quality and often moves on rocks and reefs. It is extremely difficult to catch, so it is very rare.

The saury is sweet, tender and has a strong fish flavor, as sweet as the clam meat. It is known as the king of fish in Hong Kong Island and is a high-priced fish, with one or two costing NT$60.

Note that the unit is one tael, not one pound.

In other words, a pound of this fish costs 600 yuan.The four pieces in front of me must add up to more than ten kilograms, which is more than 6000 yuan.

In addition, sometimes you may not be able to eat this kind of fish even if you have money, you have to try your luck, and the store is not sure when it will be in stock.

"There may be more, continue to unload the net." Zhang Yaowei and Shui Wang were in a hurry.

Only Zhang Yaohua remained calm.

They cast four nets in a row, and as expected, there were still three saury fish, and each net had more fish than the last.

"Haha! Shuiliang and the others will definitely regret it to death." Shui Wang laughed loudly, as if he had seen the remorseful expressions of Shuiliang and the others.

The swordfish they caught this time weighed more than 80 kilograms, if not a hundred kilograms.

"Continue." Zhang Yaohua said.

"Ah! The warehouse is already full."

"Throw away part of the Qingzhanyu, and let go of the ones that are not dead!"

Zhang Yaowei and Shui Wang did not hesitate. Qingzhanyu was worthless and was thrown away, not rare.

It's rare to encounter a triple swordfish, how can you let it go easily?
