Chapter 239
"Damn, these bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong!
We were damaged by them and four were dragged away, a total of ten traps were lost."
Hearing Shen Fei say that the traps were not dragged away, the old man looked at the trawler next to him and cursed.
In the old man's opinion, the trawler must have dared not to provoke Shen Fei because they were also a large fishing boat.
And they were small fishing boats, so the trawler had no scruples and was very close to their traps during the trawling process, which led to the current situation.
Seeing this situation, Shen Fei remained silent. He didn't need to get involved in things that had nothing to do with them.
There were quite a few people on the trawler next to them. If a conflict really broke out, it would be quite troublesome.
The old man on the small fishing boat also gave up the idea of going to the trawler after learning that Shen Fei and his team had not had their traps dragged away.
If Shen Fei and his team were also dragged away, then there would be some hope for the two boats, one large and one small, to go to the trawler to cause trouble.
Now they have only one small fishing boat and two people on it. Are they going to cause trouble for the trawler? If they meet reasonable people, they can just say a few words politely and apologize.
If they meet unreasonable people, they can beat them up and even overturn their small fishing boat.
Do you really think the sea is calm? In fact, the waves are rough, and few fishermen who go out to sea are good-tempered.
Going out to sea is a job that puts your head on the belt. You may die in an accident at any time. How many people can keep a good temper when they risk their lives every day?
Just when the old man was about to admit defeat and go back to collect the traps, the young man who was in charge of controlling the fishing boat behind the old man pointed to the fishing net on the sea and shouted:
"Dad, look, there are so many fish in their fishing nets! It's dou pomfret!"
dou pomfret!
A species in the order of pomfret, with a relatively small catch.
Compared with ordinary pomfret, the meat is firmer and more delicious, the scales are bright and colorful, and the price is much more expensive than ordinary pomfret.
It is rare to see this kind of fish when fishing at sea. Unexpectedly, today the old man and his friends saw a lot of fighting pomfret on Shen Fei's fishing net.
There are even some fighting pomfret that directly jumped over the edge of Shen Fei's fishing net and jumped out of the encirclement of the fishing net.
"Ah? There seems to be a school of fighting pomfret here!" The old man said in shock.
Shen Fei glanced at them, turned to his two sons and said, "Let's prepare to collect the fishing net."
It takes a while to catch the school of fish with a sticky net, and you don't need to wait too long. At this moment, Shen Fei has seen many fighting pomfret stuck on the sticky net underwater through the system.
"Okay!"
Shen Wenbo and Shen Wentao had no objections. One of them returned to the cabin to control the fishing boat, and the other cooperated with Shen Fei to collect the fishing net together.
Now they have a net-lifting machine, which saves a lot of effort to collect the fishing net.
This is a manual net-lifting machine, which originally used several rollers to save effort, the same principle as the pulley.
Old-style net-lifting machine
You only need to hook the "head" of the sticky net to the fishing boat, and then clamp it along the rollers of the net-lifting machine.
It will be much easier to pull the sticky net than to pull it directly from the sea.
However, when they just hooked the head of the net with a hook, they found that the head of the net was also caught by fish, and there were quite a few of them, which was quite heavy to pull.
"Dad, there are so many fish! There are fish at the head of the net!"
Shen Wentao said to Shen Fei excitedly.
Shen Fei smiled and said, "Pull it up first. Be careful to save your energy. There are only three of us on the fishing boat. Don't be too tired later."
Although there is a net-lifting machine, it can save energy to a certain extent, but this thing is manpower after all, and it also takes some effort to pull it. In addition, collecting and sorting the nets are also big jobs, which all require energy.
Shen Wentao laughed and said, "It's okay. I feel full of energy when I see so many fish."
"You should talk about this later." Shen Fei smiled and helped Shen Wentao pull up the head of the net.
First, he untied the five pomfret hanging on the head of the net, and then stuck the fishing net on the net-lifting machine according to the rules.
After that, they started to pull the fishing net.
"Hehe, it really saves a lot of energy. It's much easier than collecting the fishing net directly on the edge of the boat before." Shen Wentao said excitedly.
This is the first time he has used this net-lifting machine after it was installed. It is indeed much easier than pulling it directly before.
Shen Fei smiled and said, "This is already old-fashioned. Let's install a powered self-rolling one in the future, which will save more effort."
It's not that Shen Fei doesn't want to install a more advanced one now, but mainly because Yu Chengqing in the village doesn't have one. He has been busy with various things recently and really has no time to get it done.
If there is a chance, he also wants to install the trawl equipment on the fishing boat.Such a big ship, without trawl equipment, is really a bit useless.
When they were collecting the nets, the old man and his son from Chenmen Village were reluctant to leave, and watched for a long time.
Seeing Shen Fei and his team's fishing nets, one after another, and pulling the fighting pomfret and sea wolf fish onto the fishing boat, the old man and his son were shocked and excited.
Without time to think about it, the old man decided to put the net in front of Shen Fei and his team's fishing net.
Just now, the old man saw that many fighting pomfret escaped the fishing net and swam forward, so they were going to put the net in front!
They did it as soon as they said it. After the old man made a strategy, they stopped watching Shen Fei and his team collect the nets, and they also started to put the nets.
On the fishing boat, Shen Fei and Shen Wentao also saw the old man and his team putting the nets, and they didn't say anything.
Anyone can catch the resources on the sea, as long as the other party doesn't come to deliberately cause trouble, Shen Fei has no objection.
Besides, Shen Fei and his team were already a little too busy. There were too many dou jing (a type of croaker) this time. As the fishing net was pulled onto the fishing boat, the fish kept coming one after another.
They were so busy that they didn't have the time to worry about whether others would release the net or not.
"Haha, a dou jing (a type of croaker) weighing three or four jin just came up, and another sea grouper came right after. Dad, we're going to make a fortune today!"
Shen Wenbo, who had just replaced Shen Wentao, said excitedly.
It had been three hours since they started collecting the nets, and they hadn't finished collecting the nets yet. It wasn't because their nets were so long, but because there were so many fish!
So many that they hadn't finished collecting the fish even after three hours.
This time, they were collecting the nets and collecting the fish at the same time, so they couldn't catch them fast enough.
Three hours later, they had only untied 70% of the fishing nets.
Shen Fei and his men were not supermen, and they slowed down after a long time. There was still 30% left, and it would probably take more than 2 hours.
While they were working hard to collect the nets, the trawlers on the other side were also working, but they had not been able to get much since they left the nameless island.
After trawled several nets in a row, the harvest was not very good, and the middle-aged man in the lead was also annoyed.
"No more trawls, light the fire and cook, eat and trawl the last net, and then go back to the port to sell fish. Today's harvest is not small."
The two nets they trawled on the nameless island in the morning were enough to keep them happy for a long time. The following nets were also trawled casually, and it didn't matter if there were fish or not.
Everyone on the fishing boat was in a good mood, and they killed the fish and shrimps for cooking.
