Chapter 224
"We are going to start collecting the traps."
"Uncle, aunt, do you want to come and see?"
Before collecting the traps, Shen Wentao specifically said something to Wu Qiusheng and Jin Qiaomei, who were slumped on the deck.
Hearing this, both of them turned their heads to look at Shen Wentao. No one stood up, and no one could speak. Wu Qiusheng waved his hand to indicate that he could not.
He was so numb from vomiting that he had no intention of watching them collect the traps.
He had eaten in the morning, so he had something to vomit, but Jin Qiaomei was vomiting acid the whole time. Now her hands and feet were weak, and only her stomach was still strong to vomit acid...
"Bring the net cage over, and let's go back early after collecting the traps."
Seeing Jin Qiaomei vomiting non-stop, Shen Fei also frowned. This person's reaction to seasickness is a bit strong.
Wu Qiusheng vomited for a while, although his condition was not good, but he stopped temporarily, and Jin Qiaomei... well, who told her not to eat breakfast?
Shen Wentao nodded and took the net cage.
Shen Fei hooked the large fixed float they put down with a hook.
Pull the float onto the fishing boat, and then start to collect the ground cage along the rope on the float.
The first ground cage floated to the surface, and there were not many goods, there were thirty or forty swimming crabs, and a lot of shrimps.
"Not bad."
Shen Fei's evaluation of this harvest was good.
Shen Wentao on the side had excitedly opened the net mouth of the net cage to facilitate Shen Fei to pour swimming crabs and shrimps in.
In the second round, there were still thirty or forty swimming crabs, and there were more shrimps, especially the big nine-segment shrimps, with seven or eight in one cage.
"Hey, it seems that there will be nine-segment shrimps to eat at noon." Seeing the harvest of the second cage, Shen Wentao said excitedly.
The nine-segmented shrimps last night were delicious, and he felt particularly good eating them.
After that, he collected seven or eight ground traps in a row, which were basically swimming crabs, shrimps, and some other small fish.
And each trap had a lot of harvest. So far, no cage has less than ten swimming crabs, and the lowest is thirteen or fourteen.
Wu Qiusheng is much better now, and he looks at Shen Fei and his team collecting ground traps with a shocked face.
Only less than ten ground traps have been collected, and Wu Qiusheng estimates that Shen Fei and his team have collected more than two hundred swimming crabs.
"Is this a farm? How can you catch them like this?!"
"Isn't it said that it's not easy to go out to sea to catch fish now? This is not easy?!"
Wu Qiusheng is a little confused.
"Ugh~"
Before he could figure it out, Jin Qiaomei, who was standing next to him, vomited again.
"Ugh~~Qiu Sheng, go get me a bottle of water, vomit~~"
"The more you drink, the more you vomit. Stop drinking. Ugh~~" Wu Qiusheng, who had just stopped vomiting, was made nauseous again by Jin Qiaomei.
Shen Fei saw the situation of Wu Qiusheng and his wife, but he had no better way to deal with them. He had to help them and continue collecting the traps.
He pulled up the next trap and poured it out.
"Dad, look, what a big shrimp mushroom!"
Shen Wentao saw two big shrimp mushrooms with sharp eyes. They were about half a catty, very big and long, and not inferior to the big nine-segment shrimp.
These days, shrimp mushrooms are not valuable. Small shrimp mushrooms are only a few cents per catty, but it is the first time Shen Wentao has seen shrimp mushrooms of half a catty.
Big shrimp mushroom
"If you sell shrimp mushrooms this big, won't it cost several yuan per pound?"
Shen Fei smiled and said, "You can keep them for eating, but there aren't many."
In this era, shrimp mushrooms are not very cost-effective because they have thick shells and little meat, so the price is very cheap.
But in fact, they taste sweet, especially the red ones, which are really sweet and delicious.
It's best to keep them for your own family.
It took about half an hour to collect their first set of ground traps, a total of 20, and a very good harvest. They collected about 300 to 400 swimming crabs, and also collected a lot of shrimps, more than 100 kilograms.
This harvest is already quite good.
There were only a dozen sea snakes and four octopuses working hard, and when Shen Fei opened the system to observe, he found that the sea snakes did not have much effect on driving swimming crabs away.
The sea snakes were more inclined to drive the shrimps into the ground traps, and then the swimming crabs went in to eat the shrimps in the ground traps.
When Shen Fei was collecting the second set of ground traps, a small fishing boat was approaching them.
Seeing the fishing boat coming, Shen Fei frowned. After emptying one cage of fish and shrimp, he did not rush to pull the second cage, but looked at the small fishing boat approaching.
It was the fishing boat of the old man from Chenmen Village yesterday.
After approaching, the old man smiled and shouted to Shen Fei:
"Boy, the harvest is not bad, right? How many swimming crabs did you catch?"
Not knowing what the other party wanted to do, Shen Fei said ambiguously:
"It's okay, not much. WhatIs it okay?"
The old man stood on the fishing boat and said with a smile:
"It's like this, we promised the boss today that we would send him 100 kilograms of swimming crabs. We fished for a long time this morning, but only got more than 60 kilograms in total. Can you sell us 40 kilograms? So we can get 100 kilograms to give to the boss."
It turned out that they wanted to buy 40 kilograms of swimming crabs to make up the number. Hearing this, Shen Fei nodded, "Okay. ”
Under the circumstance that it is not a difficult task, the fishermen will still help each other.
Immediately, Shen Fei asked Shen Wentao to get swimming crabs for the old man and his friends.
At this moment, there were only more than 20 swimming crabs in the net cage on the deck, which was definitely not enough for 40 kilograms. Shen Wentao pulled out a net cage that he had put down in front of him from the live warehouse of the fishing boat.
There were about 60 swimming crabs in this net cage, and he poured more than 20 on the deck into the net cage together.
There were about 90 swimming crabs, each of which was not small, and 40 kilograms should be enough.
"Old man, how do you calculate the money?" Shen Wentao looked at the old man in Chenmen Village and asked.
The old man and his boat were relatively low, and they could not see the situation on Shen Fei's fishing boat. He said:
"Show me the swimming crabs, and I will give you an estimate. We all go out to sea to fish, and we will not let you suffer a loss in terms of price. "
Hearing this, Shen Wentao looked at Shen Fei.
Shen Fei nodded, "Let them have a look first."
There are only two people coming over. If they really dare to make trouble and force buying and selling, Shen Fei will teach them a lesson in minutes.
A big ship hits a small ship, and one of them doesn't make a sound.
Shen Wentao nodded, stood on the edge of the boat, and handed a net of swimming crabs to the old man and the others, "Take a look."
"Fuck, it's so big? ! "
Taking the net cage handed over by Shen Wentao, the old man and the young man on his fishing boat were all shocked.
The swimming crabs in the net cage held by Shen Wentao were much larger than theirs, basically two grades.
Theirs were about two or three taels, while the ones handed to them by Shen Wentao were about half a catty...
"This..."
The old man suddenly regretted dividing the area with Shen Fei yesterday. There were also many swimming crabs in their area, but they were also a grade smaller.
After thinking for a while, the old man said,
"These should be the big ones you picked out, right? Thank you."
"You are so polite, I won't be vague with you. I will give you 9.4 yuan per catty. The price of half a catty of swimming crabs at the dock is only 9.12 yuan, which should be okay, right? "
Hearing this, Shen Wentao thought about it and didn't say anything. This price is indeed quite high.
They sent it to Zhao Youcai, and the price was the same.
Standing on the edge of the boat, Shen Fei nodded and said:
"Okay, do you have a scale on your boat? Weigh it and calculate the price."
"You can't put so many swimming crabs in one net cage, or their legs will be broken."
The old man nodded, "I know."
The old man took out a scale from their fishing boat and weighed it on the spot.
"With the net cage, it's a total of 47 kilograms. Do you want to check it?"
After weighing, the old man said to Shen Fei and the others.
Shen Fei shook his head, "No, you continue."
Those swimming crabs are estimated to be about 40 kilograms. As long as the difference is not too big, he is too lazy to bother.
"Smooth! "
The old man smiled, took out his net cage and poured the swimming crabs over, then weighed Shen Fei's net cage again.
"The net cage and the grass inside, a total of 3 jin, 47 minus 3 is 44, 9.4 yuan per jin, 415 yuan for you, thank you."
While talking, the old man calculated 415 yuan and handed the money and the net cage to Shen Wentao.
Shen Fei nodded, "We are all fishermen, we should help each other."
"Hey, if I had known that there were such big swimming crabs in your area, I would not have divided the area with you yesterday. The swimming crabs in our area are much smaller than yours. "
The old man smiled and said something, then he gave cigarettes to Shen Fei and his friends, and then they sailed away.
Seeing them leave, Shen Fei continued to collect the ground traps.
At this moment, Wu Qiusheng had already walked to the side of Shen Fei and Shen Wentao, and asked in shock:
"That net of swimming crabs sold for 415 yuan? !"
It's almost his monthly salary!
The key point is that he just leaned against the edge of the boat and saw that Shen Wentao had collected almost 10 such nets into the live warehouse!
In other words, Shen Fei and his friends haven't finished collecting the ground traps yet, but they have already earned almost 10 months of his salary, and this is only for swimming crabs, there are other shrimps and other small fish not included!
"Is fishing at sea so profitable?"
"Third brother-in-lawTo be honest, I really like fishing. Fishing is free. Do you need any help here?..."
