Happy Fishing Farm

Chen Bin watched with some expectation.

Stonefish is a very popular marine fish, and it is easy to sell it in the seafood market if you buy it yourself, so the buying ship does not dare to lower the price. Chen Bin knows the price of stonefish very well.

Such a large stonefish must weigh more than a catty, and it can easily be sold for thousands of dollars.

Soon, Li Xuan approached the stone fish with the fish basket in hand.

At this time, Li Xuan's movements may have been a little too wide, as if the stonefish was frightened, it jumped up from the bottom of the sea in an instant, and then retreated quickly.

Li Xuan, who was carrying the fish basket, immediately stood still. He didn't chase after him, nor was he in a hurry.

Stonefish are a kind of sea fish that don't like to move. They stay in the same sea area almost all the time from birth to death. They don't move very much. Their laziness is comparable to that of sloths. Don't worry this stonefish will escape.

Sure enough, very soon, the stonefish retreated only a few meters before sinking towards the bottom of the sea again. Once lying on the bottom of the sea, it turned into a stone again, lying motionless on the sand.

Li Xuan was amused by the behavior of this stone fish. It is really a fish like its life. It is really a stone. It has a good swimming ability, but it is not even willing to escape a few meters, and it only took two steps back. The distance is really too lazy to do it.

After the stone fish hibernated on the bottom of the sea again, Li Xuan approached it again with the fish basket.

But this time, Li Xuan was obviously more careful than before.

It's not because I'm afraid that this stonefish will run away, but the poisonous needle on the back of this fish is standing upright, obviously entering a defensive state. It makes people panic, and Li Xuan can't do it carelessly.

This time, the stonefish did not retreat because of Li Xuan's approach.

Seeing that the fish reel was about to cover the stone fish, the stone fish suddenly shot up and hit the fish reel.

If an ordinary diver was hit by this stonefish like this, the poisonous needle must have been stuck in the flesh.

Even though the venomous thorn on the stonefish is very small, as long as it penetrates into the human body, the neurotoxin will be transmitted in the blood soon, and the severe pain will be unbearable at all.

But Li Xuan held the fish basket in his hand, so naturally he wouldn't let the stone fish pierce him.

Li Xuan saw the stonefish jumping up in place, so he pushed the fish basket forward, and put the stonefish into the basket.

When Chen Bin saw it, he was overjoyed immediately. He swam over from the side, hugged the fish reel happily, and then looked into the fish reel with one eye. If you look carefully, this stone fish is bigger than when it was lying on the bottom of the sea. It is estimated to be close to Two catties, such a big wild stonefish, it is normal to sell it for thousands or hundreds of dollars.

Li Xuan patted Chen Bin's shoulder with a smile, then pointed to the water surface, signaling Chen Bin to go to the water surface first with the fish basket.

Chen Bin nodded quickly, and carried the fish basket up to the surface of the water.

"Xiaoxuan, Chen Bin said just now that you found the stonefish. Did you catch it?" The old man Zhao who was waiting on the boat saw Li Xuan surfaced, immediately stood up, walked to the side of the boat and asked Li Xuan.

Li Xuan took off the breathing mask on his head, then wiped the water droplets on his face, and said with a smile: "Of course the stonefish was caught, otherwise I wouldn't have come up."

Old man Zhao nodded repeatedly, "This fish is very dangerous, and it's not easy for you to carry it underwater. Give it to me first, and I will raise it for you on the boat."

Li Xuan nodded, "The fish is in Chen Bin's hands, you have to be careful for a while, but don't get caught by this stone fish."

After hearing this, the old man Zhao smiled heartily, "Don't worry, Xiaoxuan, you underestimate your Uncle Zhao too much, this fish can't make waves in front of me, and as long as it is not underwater, it will be stabbed if it is stabbed , at worst, my finger has been a headache for two days, and it’s not like I haven’t been pricked before.”

When Li Xuan heard this, he was immediately ashamed. After all, he was a fisherman who had seen strong winds and waves. Medically, he said stonefish neurotoxin, which can be compared to the pain of amputation, actually said it so lightly.

In the past, when Li Xuan was young, he saw people being stabbed by the stonefish's poisonous needle with his own eyes.

During a catch purchase, there was a talented young man on board the purchase boat who caught stonefish with his hands.

At that time, the boss who harvested the catch was chatting with the fishermen, and no one had any ideas about the guy, so no one raised his voice to remind him.

Of course, it turned out that the guy's hand was pricked by the stonefish's poisonous needle.

At that time, the guy screamed, his face turned pale from the pain, his teeth bit his lip, and blood fell to the ground drop by drop. He kept clenching his fists and beating his head, trying to knock himself out to reduce the pain. .

Later, when two old fishermen saw that something was wrong, they quickly held him down, cut his wound with a sterilized knife, took out the poisonous needle, and bled him to release most of the toxin. Only then did he feel better.

Even so, it still hurts for several days.

In short, the stonefish toxin is nothing but pain, unparalleled pain.

At this time, Chen Bin also came out of the water with the fish basket. He wiped the sea water on his face with one hand, and then shouted at the old man Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, help me catch it quickly. There is a fish in the fish basket." Stonefish, be careful not to get stabbed by it."

The old man Zhao bent down and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, I can save it, give me the fish basket."

Soon, the fish basket was pulled onto the boat by old man Zhao.

The old man Zhao poured the stone fish into a big wooden barrel, and when he saw the size of the stone fish, he immediately became happy, "My dear, this fish weighs almost two catties, this kind of fish weighs three pounds. Finger-wide ones can be sold for 500 yuan a catty, and such a big one can cost a thousand yuan to start at least.”

Li Xuan smiled slightly, and then said to the old man Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, pass me the fish basket, and I'll go down here to look for other stonefish."

Old man Zhao nodded quickly, and handed the fish basket to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at Chen Bin again, and said: "After a while, you will follow me when you reach the bottom of the sea. You and I will each take a fish reel. I will be in charge of catching rockfish with the fish reel in front. If you catch them, you will be responsible for following them." Respond, send the stonefish I caught back to the fishing boat."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bin nodded quickly, "Okay, Brother Xuan, I know how to do it."

Indeed, if one person were to catch this kind of fish, then catch the fish and send it back to the surface, it would be too much trouble, and the efficiency would indeed be too low.

It is better for two people to work together, one person is responsible for catching the fish, and the other is responsible for sending the fish back to the boat. This way, the efficiency is even higher.
