The fishing boat moved closer, and Wang Zheng used a sea rake to pull the rope under a rubber ball, then hooked it to the tractor and pulled it up.
The lobster pots are strung together, and about twenty lobster pots can be tied to a thick cable, which are specially used for catching lobsters.
The sea outside Wang Bo's hometown is a famous origin of Chinese lobsters. When he was a child, lobsters could be caught offshore. Every household wanted to eat lobsters. They would sink a shrimp pot and put some chicken and duck intestines in it, and fish it out the next day. Come up to the shrimp pot, there are lobsters in it.
But now it’s no longer possible. There’s nothing left offshore, not to mention lobsters, not even white shrimps.
The rope was retracted, and a few minutes later, the first cage surfaced. Uncle Wang and Dad Bo stood at the stern of the boat and worked together to lift the cage up.
There were lobsters inside, only the size of two palms. Seeing this, Dad Bo shook his head and sighed: "No, let's look at the next cage."
Collecting shrimp pots is a very difficult task. Twenty cages are tied with a rope. Once the rope breaks, the cages that have not been fished out cannot be recovered, so the risk is very high.
Fortunately, Uncle Wang and Dad Bo were both veterans, and they collected the five cages without any danger. Finally, they found large lobsters in the fourth and fifth cages. Each one was about 20 centimeters small and weighed a kilogram.
After catching six large lobsters, Bo Daddy directed the cages to be put down again.
After seeing it, the blogger’s mother smiled and said, “You’re lucky, the lobster is not too small.”
Wang Bo said in astonishment: "Is this a big lobster? I remember in the past, didn't a shrimp need to weigh two kilograms to be a big one?"
Wang Zheng frowned and sighed: "That was when we were kids, can this compare? When I was a kid, I remember my uncle caught a seven-pound lobster. Now let alone seven pounds, seven ounces is considered a large size."
Dad Bo and others fell silent.
At night, the fishing boat finally docked. As soon as the boat stopped, the fat cat brothers ran out. Their short legs moved quickly, jumping along the shelf to the dock, where they whined excitedly.
Wang Zheng first called the Hu brothers, the owners of the shrimp pots, and said: "My brother brought his wife back from abroad. I went to your place to catch five lobsters. I will treat your brothers to a drink tomorrow and prepare a box of hairtail fish for you. Come over here." Naha.”
A loud voice came from the phone: "Hey, why are you being so polite? Is it Xiaobo who has come back from abroad? He also brought his wife with him? If you want to eat lobsters, come to my place. Why are you going to the sea? There are no big shrimps available in the sea now." ”
Wang Zheng said he would get some for drinking tomorrow. Wang Bo shook his head and said no, these are enough.
There is no shortage of big lobsters in New Zealand. Australia is right next door. In sea cities like Dunedin and Christchurch, one or two kilograms of lobster only costs more than ten New Zealand dollars, which is absolutely high quality and cheap.
After a trip to the sea, Wang Bo fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes when he came back to sleep. He was not like the day before yesterday when he had been insomnia for a while.
When he got up early in the morning, he told his mother about this. She laughed and said: "You are such a bitch, you have to go to the sea to endure it."
Wang Bo and Eva habitually take their young men for jogging. The beach road is right at the entrance of the village. Unfortunately, the sea breeze is blowing hard now. Otherwise, running along the beach would be great in spring and autumn.
The two stopped after running for a while. Their combination was so dazzling that the fishermen who got up early pointed at them after seeing it.
Because Wang Bo has been absent from his hometown for a long time, many people in the village do not recognize him, and Eva is a blond beauty that has never been seen in the fishing village, plus a strong man like a calf, and a chirping little parrot flying above his head. People stared at them as if they were watching a play.
Someone recognized Wang Bo and came over and asked, "Hey, Xiao Bo? When did you come back? Is this foreign girl your girlfriend?"
People in the village didn't know Wang Bo, and similarly, he didn't know much about the people in the village. Some of them looked familiar, but he didn't know their names.
In his hometown, you can't call people based on their age. People in the fishing village are very particular about seniority. Calling someone by the wrong name will make people laugh.
But I wasn’t afraid when I took Eva with me. Eva smiled and called her brother or uncle. She wasn’t from the village, so she wasn’t afraid of calling her the wrong person.
Hearing someone calling his name, the others suddenly realized that he was actually very famous in the village. He was the only child who could buy a fishing boat for his family after going to work for a few years. If he was not a boy but a girl, it is estimated that the villagers would Everyone here thought he was in the meat-selling business in a big city.
If it were a man, the only thing left in the village would be admiration.
Wang Bo said a few words and returned with Eva, the commander and the young man.
At noon, he was chatting in the group. Bo's dad asked him to sell fish together. Wang Bo said: "Sell it directly at the pier? You might as well send it to the hotel. I think the fish we got are all good. It would be a pity to sell them at the pier." , you can get a high price by selling it in a hotel.”
Dad Bo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, don't let the hotel take notice, as long as you can sell it on the dock."
When the two men arrived at the pier, they found two boxes of small yellow flowers. After they moved them down, a fishmonger immediately came up and asked, "Old Wang, how do you sell these small yellow flowers? Just a few of them?"
Dad Bo put away a cigarette and said, "Fifty yuan a pound, I want you to take it with you."
The fishmonger took the cigarette and said with a smile: "You are kidding me. The small yellow flowers in the market are only fifty-one pounds. You can give me a cheaper price, twenty yuan, and I will take them all. You see, you also have few fish, so you sell them at a high price." Are you suitable?"
Dad Bo smiled calmly and said: "Then you go down and take a look first. Yes, there are not enough fish here. At worst, I will sell it on my own in the market. You said there are fifty-one pounds in the market, right? It's the Chinese New Year soon. You're telling me fifty? I'm a wild little yellow flower, you know, I can't even buy it for a hundred!"
With that said, he waved to Wang Bo: "Don't stand there, go to the boat and carry the pomfret down. When Dabao's car comes, you can take it aboard."
Seeing that they were about to leave, the fishmonger was a little anxious and said: "Hey, Lao Wang, don't leave yet. Let's talk about the price. How about I give you five yuan more..."
"Fifty, no bargaining, just take a look at the quality of this little yellow flower for yourself. It's wild, Lao Su, but it's not the kind of yellow flower you raise. If you buy it back and save it until the end of the year, you'll definitely grab a hundred pounds!"
Someone next to him laughed and said, "Lao Su, do you want to buy it? If not, I'll start. At fifty-one pounds, Lao Wang's fish is definitely worth it. It's not like you don't know how Lao Wang catches fish. They are all good fish."
Lao Su glared at the man and muttered: "Nana, what do you care about?"
Wang Bo saw that this person had too many people and didn't want to sell it to him, so he said: "Dad, let's go to the hotel together later. Just order fish. What's the waste of energy here?"
Everyone around him could see his dissatisfaction, and Lao Su laughed and said, "Is this your son? Lao Wang, this young man has a bad temper."
Dad Bo smiled and said: "Follow me, I also had a bad temper when I was young."
Lao Su grinded it with him for a while and got it to forty-five pounds. Then he weighed it and weighed it at one hundred and four pounds. He made it into one hundred pounds and sold it for 4,500 yuan.
