Golden Fishing Village

Except for Ao Daguo who was driving the boat and Ao Muyang who was the leader, everyone else, including Ao Wenchang, went to the stern and listened to Ao Qianwen's instructions to prepare to put down the crab cage.

A round crab cage is equipped with three funnel entrances, which are the passages for crabs to enter the cage. Because it is made into a hole shape, it is difficult for crabs to crawl in from the funnel mouth, and then it is difficult to crawl out. They can only enter but not exit.

The crab cage contains bait, which will have a direct impact on its fishing effect. According to the foraging habits of crabs, the selected bait should have a strong fishy smell, hard meat and good gloss.

Ao Muyang chose Spanish mackerel and some small bonito. He cut the fish, marinated it with salt water, and then froze it. He put it in seawater to slowly thaw, and the fishy smell will gradually dissipate, and the effect is best.

The cost of catching snow crabs is very high, and one of the manifestations is the bait.

In addition to these fish, they also put some abalone in it, because snow crabs like to prey on abalone the most.

Before casting the net, Ao Qianwen first checked the assembly of the crab cage, which directly affects the fishing effect.

Someone put the crab cage main line on the sea surface first. There is a lead block on one end of the main line, the purpose is to sink to the bottom of the sea, and there are a large number of rubber floats on the other end, the task is to mark the position of the crab cage.

The crab cage is tied to the main line with a knot, and there are branches on the main line. Each branch line has 1 cage, and there are 50 branches on a main line, so each main line has 50 crab cages.

The main line is very long, all thick cables, coiled at the stern like a small mountain, as if a strange dragon coiled at the stern waiting to attack.

After the crab cage was hung, Ao Qianwen gave an order, the electric winch started, and the crab cage was slowly put into the water.

The cold sea water splashed up, and soon the two people who put the crab cage at the front of the stern were soaked. Among them was the big man Ao Qianlai, who worked hard and did not complain. Facing the surging and cold sea water, he did not care.

Ao Qianwen waved his hand: "Team Two!"

Two more people came to the stern to replace the two people. Their task was to check whether the crab cages were intact and fixed.

Ao Qianwen also stood at the front of the stern. He shouted: "Be careful, Damn, be careful! Don't get hit by the crab cages. There are one ton of crabs in a string. If you hit them, you will be disabled if you don't die..."

He is an old hand at fishing for snow crabs. With his guidance, all the work was carried out in an orderly manner. However, everyone was excited and inevitably a little clumsy, and they were all joking around, making the scene a little chaotic.

Ao Muyang wanted to get some hot coffee, but he just walked to the hatch when he heard shouts from the stern:

"Stop, stop!"

"Daming was taken under!"

"Gosh, get in the water! Save him!"

Hearing the noisy shouts, Ao Muyang rushed to the stern and shouted, "What's going on? Daming fell in?"

Ao Qianwen was busy taking off his clothes and jumping into the sea. He shouted, "He didn't jump in, he was dragged in. His cotton coat was hooked by the crab cage!"

Ao Muyang threw off his cotton coat and jumped into the water without saying a word.

Ao Qianwen hurriedly shouted, "Be careful, dragon head..."

Although the winch for lowering the cable had been shut down, Ao Qianming, who fell into the water, was unlucky enough to have his clothes caught by the crab cage. If he couldn't take off his clothes or break free, he wouldn't be able to swim to the surface.

He jumped into the water and immediately saw Ao Qianming's figure.

Although the winch lowered the rope slowly, it was a linear process, lowering the crab cages one by one, like dumplings. After Ao Qianming lowered the cage that was hooked, four or five more followed, so he was quite deep in the water at this time.

Ao Muyang swung his legs and dived quickly. Ao Qianming reacted quickly. His clothes were entangled by the cage. After he entered the sea, he unbuttoned his clothes and wanted to take them off.

But after the cotton-padded jacket was soaked in sea water, it became very heavy. In addition, the crab cage was entangled and he was inevitably panicked at this time. Several reasons combined made it impossible for him to unbutton his clothes for a while.

Ao Muyang went to help and found that the front of his clothes was entangled. It was useless to unbutton!

This situation was quite bad. Ao Qianming also found the problem immediately, and his face suddenly showed despair.

Ao Muyang acted decisively. He found a broken hole in the collar, then reversed the golden elixir, tore the clothes with both hands, and let's go!

He tore the cotton coat apart from the collar, and then it split into two halves!

In this way, Ao Muyang pulled Ao Qianming up and swam to the surface of the sea.

The two floated to the surface, and the others on the boat breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting on the boat, he said: "Hurry up and make brown sugar ginger juice, Wenchang, take Uncle Ming to rest."

Ao Qianming was panting heavily, and he was scared out of his wits.

If Ao Muyang hadn't used his divine power, he would have lost at least half his life underwater today, and he might even die underwater!

Someone came to pull Ao Muyang to the cabin, but he pushed him away. He shouted to everyone: "It's true that there are snow crabs below, and it's true that we can make money, but you have to live to spend the money you make. You all calm down! Look at how chaotic you all were just now?!"

Because they knew there were snow crabs under the sea, everyone was really emotional.

After this accident, everyone in the group was much calmer.

They remembered at this moment that snow crab fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Every year, dozens of fishermen from Europe, America, Japan, Russia and other countries die because of snow crab fishing!

Ao Qianwen perked up and said, "Okay, don't just stand there. This is my responsibility. I will keep a closer eye on it. Come on, put the cage in the cross-flow method and continue working!"

There is a sequence for putting down the crab cages. First, the buoy, the buoy rope, the sinker, the main line, the branch line, the net cage, the main line, the branch line, the net cage, and so on. 50 cages must be put down in a row.

With the lesson learned, everything went much more smoothly afterwards.

All eight sets of cages were put down, and the next step was to wait. After twelve hours, the crab cages were put away.

The waiting time was not long, because they had to put down eight sets of cages, which was a lot of work. It took at least an hour to put down each set of cages.

In this way, after the eighth set of cages was put down, they could prepare to put away the first set of cages.

Relatively speaking, the process of putting away the cages should be easy and simple. This is entirely dependent on the role of the winch. The winch will winch up the buoy rope, and then pick up the sinker, the main line, and the branch line. In this order, the cages can be fished out.

The crab cages came out of the water, and the people lying on the side of the boat staring at the sea couldn't help but wave their fists and cheer: "Long live!" "Damn, great, snow crabs!" "Brothers, we're rich!"

There were four or five snow crabs gathered in the crab cages that came out of the water. This was a lot of them. If one crab cage could catch one snow crab on average, it would be a big harvest.

The reason why so many snow crabs were lured into the cages was because Ao Muyang sprinkled gold drops in the salt water when he was pickling the fish. As expected, the fish meat was stained with gold drops, which had a huge temptation for snow crabs.

One by one, the crab cages were fished out of the water. There were snow crabs in each crab cage. The red crabs were wriggling their long claws like monsters, but in the eyes of the fishermen, they were extremely beautiful:

This is RMB!

After the first set of cages were fished out, the second set came next. As a crab cage was brought on board, someone suddenly shouted: "Fuck, what is this?"
