However, the mouth of the fishing net was tilted towards the sea water.
Xiang Yang stepped on the fishing net and walked towards the mouth of the net. Then he waved the fishing fork, hooked the rope at the mouth of the net, and pulled it hard. Immediately, a big gap appeared at the mouth of the net.
In an instant, a large group of sea fish rushed out of the fishing net.
These escaped sea fish, just like the water in the gourd of Shuiwa in the cartoon Calabash Brothers, swarmed out, one after another, and the number was very terrifying.
Xiang Yang, who was hit first, was nearly knocked over into the sea by the huge number of fish.
Normally, fishermen are sad when they can't catch any fish.
But catching too many fish and causing the net to burst is actually a tragedy.
Because a network explosion also means danger.
"Puh, phuh." After Xiang Yang surfaced, he pretended to spit a few times, then wiped the sea water off his cheeks and swam quickly away.
Next to him, Chen Qingsheng immediately rowed over to help.
But there are people who are faster than Chen Qingsheng.
To be precise, there are fish that are faster than Chen Qingsheng.
It was Big Head. When it saw Xiang Yang fall into the water, it swam over quickly, carried Xiang Yang on its back, then opened its big mouth, aimed at the mouth of the fishing net, and started swallowing all the food.
Chen Qingsheng was stunned on the spot, then he smiled and said, "I felt really bad at first. So many sea fish escaped, and now they are eaten by the bighead carp. It's not a waste after all."
Of course, those sea fish were not stupid enough to escape in one direction after escaping from the fishing nets. Only a small part of them entered the mouths of the two humpback whales.
More sea fish fled in all directions.
This made the large group of red-crowned cranes in the sky happy.
In literary descriptions and myths and legends, the red-crowned crane is a bird that is peaceful, gentle and ethereal.
As early as 2,100 years ago, lacquerware unearthed from the Mancheng Han Tombs showed clear images of red-crowned cranes.
In 156 BC, Lu Qiaoru, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, composed an Ode to the Crane, in which he pointed out at the beginning that the red-crowned crane is a "white bird with a red crown."
Lu Ji, a native of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, gave an even more detailed description in his Mao Shi Cao Mu Niao Shou Chong Yu Shu: "As big as a goose, with long legs, green wings, more than three feet tall, red head, red eyes, and a beak more than four inches long, mostly pure white."
Tang Dynasty poets wrote many sentences describing the red-crowned cranes.
For example, Xue Neng wrote in "Reply to Jia Zhishi's Letter on the Crane": "The crane has auspicious feathers, strange posture and staggering shape, and is called a fairy riding across the sky."
Bai Juyi said in "Crane in the Pond": "When I lower my head, I am afraid that the cinnabar will fall; when I bask in the sun, I am always worried that the white snow will melt."
Zhang Ben also has the sentence "The fresh fur on the top of the head has a docile character, and it is difficult to group together in the leisure time of the grass garden."
It can be seen that the ancients believed that the beauty of the red-crowned crane lies in the harmony of its entire shape, and the secret of this beauty is undoubtedly because it has a red crown and cinnabar on top of its jade-like feathers, which makes it look elegant and romantic, and unforgettable.
Wang Xiangjin of the Ming Dynasty commented on the red-crowned crane in his "Collection of Flowers and Plants": "Its body is clean, so its color is white; its voice is heard from the sky, so its head is red."
And: "Red crown, red eyes, red cheeks and green feet." The red-crowned crane and most other cranes have bright red exposed skin above the neck, which is actually a blend of skin color and blood color.
But in fact, when these red-crowned cranes saw so many sea fish, they were just like cats seeing fishy smell. In an instant, all of them changed from ethereal fairy birds to skuas full of banditry.
They were seen rushing to fall into the water or gliding on the sea surface, and began to compete for the fishery resources in the sea.
"These red-crowned cranes are really... ...even uglier than seagulls when eating." Xiang Yang said speechlessly.
At this time, Chen Qingsheng just arrived next to Datou in a rubber boat. He smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry about the red-crowned cranes for now. We released these fish anyway, and we can't pull them up. Can we raise the net now?"
Xiang Yang looked at the fishing net and shook his head, saying, "Wait one more minute. This time, we have to release at least 50 tons of fish, otherwise it won't be safe."
"Fifty tons?" Chen Qingsheng was a little surprised. This time, the net only caught a total of 140 to 150 tons of fish, but the data of this ship clearly showed that one net could catch 150 tons of fish.
"I think releasing twenty tons will be enough," said Chen Qingsheng.
Xiang Yang shook his head. The shipyard of this ship was obviously engaged in false advertising.
The actual lifting capacity of the winch of this ship is definitely not 150 tons. Even if there are only 120 tons of fish, the winch will probably cause certain damage even if it can pull up the fishing net.
Seeing Xiang Yang's insistence, Chen Qingsheng had no choice but to say nothing. He just watched countless sea fish scramble out of the fishing net and then escape. His face twitched constantly and his heart felt like it was bleeding.
If these escaped fish were pulled up, they would be worth a lot of money.
Finally, a minute passed, and without waiting for Xiang Yang's instructions, Chen Qingsheng immediately shouted, "Raise the net."
Immediately, the crew who had been waiting on the boat began to quickly raise the net.
A large bag of fish was slowly pulled out of the water.
This time, there were no more accidents. The fishing net was pulled directly out of the water and onto the deck. Then a large bag of catch was untied. A large group of sea fish piled up on the deck like a small mountain. Xiang Yang could see the group of lively sea fish on the deck even when he was standing on the humpback whale.
"Okay, let's go back to the boat and quickly deal with these sea fish. There are not many opportunities like this. We will try to cast another net later." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Chen Qingsheng nodded quickly, "Yes, Boss, I'll go back to the boat now."
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, then patted the male humpback whale's big head and pointed to the rubber boat not far away, signaling the big head to carry him over. In fact, Xiang Yang was also very anxious to get back to the boat.
The Kuroshio brought a huge amount of fish catch. This kind of opportunity doesn't come often. It can be said to be a godsend. Xiang Yang was also ready to return to his ship and direct the crew to quickly deal with the sea fish piled on the deck, and then quickly start fishing with the second net.
When it comes to this kind of fish tide, you don't need to worry about catching too many and killing them all.
Because these marine fish swimming with the Kuroshio Current will not be able to withstand the temperature difference of the sea water when the Kuroshio Current passes, and will die naturally. Only a very small number of them can adapt to the temperature of the Naha Sea and settle down in the Naha Sea.
More marine fish will return along the same route once the Kuroshio passes and go back to the warm waters again, so Xiang Yang does not feel any psychological pressure at all about catching the marine fish along the route that these fish tides must pass through.
If he caught the fish, he would make money. If he didn't catch any, even if the fish didn't get any benefits for the Dongyi people, most of them would have died naturally. Why didn't he catch more
