1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 249: Bassoon and agouti

 After setting out the fishing net.

Li Duoyu drove a sampan to the kelp breeding raft and took out a spatula to clean the barnacles and mussels on the foam float.

 Next, check the sea belt.

I remember when I planted the seedlings, the kelp seedlings were only over forty centimeters long. I didn’t expect them to grow to one meter long in just one month.

 If the weather continues to be good, we estimate that we can harvest kelp in early May.

By then, the people who raise kelp should be able to make money, but if the quantity is too large, the price should drop, and it is impossible to sell it at such a good price this year.

Li Duoyu was inspecting the kelp field.

The neighbor Lao Hu came over in a sampan and said hello to him.

“Duoyu, come and see the kelp too.”

Li Duoyu nodded: "Uncle Hu, you just came from the kelp field."

"yes."

Neighbor Lao Hu looked at Li Duoyu's kelp and couldn't help but sigh: "You are still better. The kelp seedlings planted at the same time grow better than the ones we raise."

 “Maybe Mazu will bless you.”

Li Duoyu smiled and did not explain to him in detail.

There are many reasons for this. First of all, this sea area is the most suitable for cultivating kelp in the entire Dandan Island.

 Before, Li Duoyu had told them that when adding kelp seedlings, they should pay attention to the spacing and not to make them too dense.

 But most of them are still greedy and a little denser. When the kelp seedlings are small, they do look very sparse.

 But once it blooms, it will become very crowded, and some kelp will not get the sun, thus affecting its growth.

After chatting with Lao Hu for a while and checking the kelp farming raft, Li Duoyu returned to the fishing raft because he had been battling fleas for the past few days.

 With such good weather.

 As soon as the sun shines,

Li Duoyu actually felt sleepy. He wanted to have a good sleep on the fishing raft.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I lay down, I saw the bamboo poles placed on the roof for fishing. Then I remembered that I had bought a lot of shrimps and wanted to fish at the fishing raft.

 After pulling out the bamboo pole.

Li Duoyu simply made a line set, which was actually not too complicated. It was just a fishing rod and a fishing line tied directly to the fishhook, without even a float.

 Following.

Li Duoyu directly hung the shrimps bought from the pier on the fishhook and threw them into the sea.

 Hands kept shaking the fishing rod.

 Make the dead shrimp look like it is alive. Shake it for about three minutes.

Li Duoyu found that the rod was slightly bent.

 Judging from the situation, it should be shrimp bait. It was swallowed by something. Li Duoyu suddenly raised the fishing rod and made a fish stabbing motion.

 But the feel is very strange. There is a medium fish, and the resistance is quite large, but there is no particularly obvious sign of struggle.

What the hell?

 When Li Duoyu pulled what he caught out of the water, he unexpectedly caught a squid.

 No wonder he doesn’t struggle much.

After a simple visual inspection, this barrel squid is about 30 centimeters long, and if the two long tentacles are included, it is about 60 centimeters long.

The locals usually call this kind of squid big tube or gun barrel, because it looks a bit like a rocket. Some people also call it rocket squid.

When it came out of the water, Li Duoyu was already on guard, trying not to let its mouth face him, and as expected, he caught it with his hands.

A stream of black ink spurted out from its body and shot several meters away. After the shot was finished, the gun barrel squid took another deep breath of air and shot several times before emptying its body.

 Now it looks listless, it really has no ink at all. The squid we just caught are really beautiful. They are very different from the whitish squid sold in the market. They have a beautiful amber color and are very delicious at first sight. That kind of thing.

  Barrel squid is also a favorite sashimi among islanders. In his previous life, when Li Duoyu was doing illegal work there, he killed not only tens of thousands of squid, but at least several thousand.

 The barrel squid caught now is as long as Li Duoyu’s forearm. It is estimated that the stomach will be half full after just one squid has been caught.

 After Li Duoyu unhooked the fishhook, he threw it into the bucket and continued fishing.

 I ran to the bucket to take a look, but I was shot all over my head by the squid that had just sucked up the sea water. I was so scared that I made a squealing sound.

If you can catch a barrel squid, it proves that there must be a lot of barrel squid down there.

Li Duoyu quickly continued to hang shrimps.

In this era, squid is relatively valuable and easy to sell. If fresh fish cannot be sold, it is usually used to make dried squid.

And dried squid is very popular, and the demand is even greater than that of dried sea fish. It can be sold far inland, and it is very delicious when used to cook soup and porridge.

 After recasting the bait.

This time, about four minutes after I went down, the hook bit again.

This time the reaction of the rod tip was a bit strange. It kept stopping, and it felt like a small fish was biting. After a while, although the rod tip was bent, there was no movement.

 This is obviously not a reaction to catching a squid. Li Duoyu is also very curious about what kind of fish he caught.

　　When I pulled what I caught out of the sea, I saw a round and bulging agouti.

This agouti is very big, about the size of a football, with spines all over its body, and it looks like a cactus.

Having a pair of big Kazilan eyes, she looks really cute, but this thing is actually a very ferocious sea fish.

Li Duoyu has to be careful when unhooking it. This guy's teeth are very powerful and can crush a crab with just one mouthful.

Eating sea melon seeds is really like eating melon seeds, and I always like to treat the oysters raised by Li Duoyu as a buffet.

 If you are bitten by it.

 It’s probably not as simple as peeling off a layer of skin, but this guy’s IQ seems to have never been online. He obviously has such powerful teeth, but he doesn’t know how to bite off the fishing line.

 This product, like its close relative the pufferfish, is very delicious, and the biggest advantage is that most pufferfish are not poisonous.

 Only a small number of agoutifish living in coral reefs have highly toxic liver parts, and generally the liver only needs to be disposed of.

You can eat pufferfish at will, and its taste is not inferior to that of pufferfish.

And Li Duoyu heard that pufferfish soup seems to be able to release milk. Recently, Xiaoying always said that the amount of milk was a bit insufficient, not even enough for Xiao Tutu to drink. She had already started drinking the island country milk powder she picked up at the beach.

Li Duoyu immediately put away the agouti and went back to make soup for his wife in the evening. The skin of this fish was particularly delicious.

Seeing its bulging appearance, Li Duoyu picked up the small wooden stick next to him and knocked its head. Unexpectedly, the bulging became even rounder.

Since the agoutifish is covered with thorns all over its body, Li Duoyu did not throw it into the bucket, but directly put it on the fishing raft to see how long it would last.

Twenty -five is also curious about this spiny dolphin. Because it was sprayed with a squid just now, the 255 seemed to be cautious this time.

 Only dare to touch it lightly with your paws.

Unexpectedly, just after I encountered it, this sea fish actually sprayed water, scaring it so much that it turned around and ran away.

Li Duoyu originally wanted to catch more gun barrel squids, but he never expected to see another one. After that, he caught even more kinds of sea fish.

What a stinky tripe, bass, and finally attracted a swarm of black bream. As a result, all the fish caught later were black bream.

Li Duoyu didn’t bother to pack it in a bucket, and threw it all directly into the cage of the fishing raft.

 Fished for nearly four hours.

Li Duoyu checked the time. It was already past one in the afternoon, and there was still more than an hour before the climax. He happened to be a little hungry.

Looking at the 1982 red wine that his father left on the fish chop, Li Duoyu felt that no matter what, he had to have a seafood dinner.
