Whether windsurfing or diving, they are very physically demanding sports.
During exercise, people will not feel particularly hungry, but they will feel that their body is limp and lacks strength.
Chen Xin and the others played in the water for a while, picking up a few sea urchins and several conches, but not a single lobster. Besides, it was daytime, and given their water skills, they couldn't catch any lobsters.
After twelve o'clock, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng also swam back.
The bags on the waists of Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng were full.
There are three lobsters in Chen Yuan's bag, and the rest are sea urchins and conches.
Zhou Sheng caught two lobsters, and the rest were also sea urchins and conches. He was lucky and also caught a grouper weighing more than two kilograms.
"I caught a grouper weighing more than two kilograms, as well as two lobsters, sea urchins, and conches." Zhou Sheng said and looked at Chen Yuan: "What did you catch?"
"Three lobsters, conches, sea urchins... are gone. There are a little few things in this sea area."
"I've gone back. Now I'm hot and hungry, and I have no energy left," Chen Xin said.
"Come on, let's go back."
Chen Yuan went over and picked up the windsurfing board: "It's an oblique headwind now, so you should pay attention to controlling your speed."
Yan Xiaoxi nodded, she also had no strength anymore.
Pushing the sailboard into the deep water, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng watched them all stand on the sailboard, then got up, hoisted the sail, and adjusted the direction of the sail...
The island is only a little more than 1 kilometer away from Hailing. Soon, Chen Yuan and the others returned to the shore.
After packing his things, Zhou Sheng threw the bag on his waist to Chen Yuan: "I'll go to your house for dinner at noon."
"Okay." Chen Yuan looked at Yan Xiaoxi and the others: "You guys come together."
"Okay." Yan Xiaoxi nodded.
Pack up your things and put them in the car and go back to the community.
Yan Xiaoxi and the others are going home to take a shower and change clothes.
Chen Yuan and Chen Xin also returned home. They washed and cooked rice before going back to the house to take a shower.
We caught quite a lot of seafood today, but it’s definitely not enough for six people.
Chen Xin cleans conch with a brush.
There are a lot of conches today, a big basin full of them. There are not many big conchs, they are basically small ones. Cleaning these conchs is quite troublesome...
Chen Yuan took out a piece of pork belly to defrost, put it in the microwave to defrost, and then processed the sea urchins.
There were not many sea urchins, only a dozen in total. Chen Yuan directly took out the sea urchin yellow and put it into a basin, added ginger water, white wine... to remove the fishy smell. After beating three more eggs, stirred, added water, continued to stir, and poured in
Stir it with sea urchin...and steam it.
The living room door was unlocked and someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." Chen Yuan shouted.
Zhou Sheng and Zhou Lan walked in: "Do you want our help?"
"Of course, come and help clean the conch." Chen Xin said.
Yan Xiaoxi and the others went home, took a shower, changed their clothes, and arrived at Chen Yuan's home with Zhou Sheng and the others.
"Do you want any help?" Yan Xiaoxi asked.
"No need. There are too many people in the kitchen..." Chen Yuan opened the microwave oven, took out the pork belly and put it in cold water. He was preparing to make twice-cooked pork.
"I can cook." Yan Xiaoxi said.
"Then you guys can help open the green peppers."
Splitting green peppers, in the dialect of my hometown, means picking out good green peppers and breaking off the handles.
"Xiao Xi's cooking skills are very good, and the dishes are delicious." He Huan said, "Let Xiao Xi cook whatever you want to cook."
Next to him, Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "Do you know how to cook twice-cooked pork? Chen Yuan likes twice-cooked pork the most..."
"I can do it." Yan Xiaoxi was pushed in by He Huan, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chen Yuan was helping Yan Xiaoxi beside him, and he was a little surprised to see her skillfully cutting green peppers with a knife. These green peppers were cut more beautifully than Chen Yuan, and she seemed to be good at cooking.
Cleaning the conch is troublesome, so He Huan also went over to help clean the conch.
There was no such brush at home, so He Huan ran the washed conch through water and rubbed it.
The kitchen was crowded, but Chen Yuan had no room, so he took the grouper weighing more than two kilograms and went outside to process it...
After the steamed sea urchin eggs are cooked, steam the grouper.
The pork belly in the pot is also cooked.
Yan Xiaoxi took it out, cut it into thin slices, and then checked the seasonings. After finding that the seasonings were complete, he started to heat the pot...
The conch was finally washed.
A big pot, boil it.
Five small green dragons of average size were used by Chen Yuan to make a pot of lobster soup after Yan Xiaoxi had finished cooking.
Lunch was busy for more than an hour.
After setting the table, Chen Yuan took out a few cans of beer, one for each person.
"Let's start..." Chen Yuan first tasted the twice-cooked pork cooked by Yan Xiaoxi. It tasted very good.
"How does it taste?" Yan Xiaoxi looked at Chen Yuan.
"It tastes better than mine." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Let me try..." Zhou Sheng took a sip of beer and took a piece: "It's really good, it tastes like a master chef."
The twice-cooked pork is fat but not greasy, and has a rich flavor...
Today’s lunch was quite rich, including two large pots of twice-cooked pork, a pot of conch, steamed eggs, steamed fish, and lobster soup.
After dinner, everyone sat for a while and then dispersed.
Chen Yuan was about to take a nap when Lin Xinhai called and Chen Yuan asked Zhou Sheng to go to the shipyard with him.
Lin Xinhai's fishing boat is installing ultra-low temperature freezer equipment.
"Master." Chen Yuan shouted.
Lin Xinhai smiled and nodded: "The new sonar equipment is back."
Wang Hao was wearing work clothes and was busy on the boat. When he saw Chen Yuan and the others, he said hello.
Fishing boats have fish finders, which are different from sonar.
The difference between the two is that sonar mainly uses horizontal waves to detect fish schools at long distances, while fish finders use vertical waves to detect fish below the fishing boat.
A fish finder can tell the size of the fish below.
Sonar is mainly used to find fish schools.
The price difference between sonar and fish finders is also huge.
Wang Hao found them a set of second-hand sonar, with a maximum detection range of 9,500 meters and costing more than 200,000 yuan.
The sonar used by Lin Xinhai's fishing boats has a maximum detection range of more than two thousand meters. However, this thing is not suitable for installation on small boats...
Sonar can find fish schools, but it is difficult to identify the number of fish schools. Observing the number of fish schools requires experience.
But Chen Yuan and the others didn't need these things, so they drew up a list and gave it to Wang Hao.
This is a purchase order for some remote-controlled sonar equipment, that is, a remote-controlled fish finder. This remote-controlled fish finder is also a type of sonar, a close-range sonar that can identify the number of fish from the visual reading.
Sonar can find fish, but if you rely solely on sonar to find large schools of fish in the vast sea, it is like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
A sonar with a detection range of 9,500 meters is already very large. But on the sea, this distance is really nothing.
Lin Xinhai spent a lot of money on this trip to the sea and bought a brand new tuna seine net. This is to do something big.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng looked at the equipment prepared by Lin Xinhai, then went to the fishing boat and removed the freezer on the fishing boat.
"Should the stabilizer be removed?" Chen Yuan said, "When traveling to the South China Sea, you should bring more oil."
"Goodbye. There are big waves on the sea and there is no stabilizer. On such a small ship, you can't sleep at night." Zhou Sheng quickly stopped Chen Yuan.
I worked in the shipyard until night, and then went to Lin Xinhai's house for dinner. He came up with the personnel configuration for this trip.
"Master..." Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan and shouted, "How big is your tuna seine?"
"Length 1,700 meters, height 270 meters, total 26 knots."
"How much?"
"21 tons."
Chen Yuan scratched his head: "Only 21 tons?"
"Wherever I can save weight, I save weight. A fishing net is so expensive, so I have to spend a lot of money. If I can't find tuna schools, I will be laughed at on the island for a whole year."
Chen Yuan chuckled: "You didn't even tell me when you bought the tuna seine. To be honest, it's just your fishing boat that can seine tuna... it's quite embarrassing."
"You won't help catch the fish." Lin Xinhai rolled his eyes.
Chen Yuan's face twitched slightly: "Use wool to catch up... Just your two assault boats, I am convinced."
"You idiot, why are you talking to Master in such a tone?" Lin Xinhai was unhappy.
"It's not what I said...the power of your fishing boat is too small, and it is difficult to lower the net. By the way, the crew members are all skilled workers, right?" Chen Yuandao.
"They are all skilled workers and experienced fishermen."
This time we went out to sea, two 38.7-meter large fishing boats, an auxiliary boat, Chen Yuan’s fishing boat... plus two assault boats. The assault boat is 7.6 meters long and equipped with two 60-horsepower outboard motors...
…
Chen Yuan's scalp went numb when he saw this configuration.
Lin Xinhai's fishing boats used to mainly seine sardines and use lights to seine the nets.
This time, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng gave Lin Xinhai the courage to buy a tuna seine back without consulting Chen Yuan and the others.
Tuna seine nets are large and expensive, with one net costing hundreds of thousands of yuan.
"Can your boat put down such a big net?" Zhou Sheng also said.
