Chapter 201 Pumping Pit (Part 2)

At noon, simply settle on the boat. Because they bought a lot of cooked food, Chu Mingcheng didn't need to make a special meal. The focus of a group of people was dinner.

Until about two o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at their destination.

When you go to pick up people, you sail against the current after entering the Qiantang River, and the speed is slower. Going out to sea just happened to go downstream, and the speed was almost an hour faster than in the morning.

Zhou Jiayi stood on the deck outside, looked at the Twin Islands not far away and asked, "Lolo, are we having a picnic on this island today?"

"It should be, look, this is what was taken in the photo." Jiang Luoluo clicked on the photo on the phone to compare, and nodded in affirmation.

"I don't know what we can catch later!" Zhou Jiayi clasped her hands tightly, with a look of anticipation on her face, which made her look particularly girlish.

In the eyes of men, she is a pure girl, but in the eyes of women, she is scheming green tea.

But Jiang Luoluo wouldn't look at her good sister with this kind of eyes, she knew it was just Zhou Jiayi's personal habit.

"It's nothing more than fish and crabs. You'll know when you pump the water."

As the ship slowly approached the reef area, Zhang Wei and Chen Yang also made preparations on the front deck.

After a short while, there was a slight collision feeling from the hull, which was the vibration of the bow lightly hitting the reef.

Already arrived at the entry point, Chu Mingcheng tried to keep the hull as stable as possible in the wheelhouse, while Zhang Wei and Chen Yang worked together to lift the water pump and started to step on the reef.

Because of the waves, the boat kept going up and down, which made it difficult for the two of them to step on the reef.

Tried twice, the two found that they couldn't carry the machine off the reef together, so Zhang Wei stepped on the reef first, then turned around and asked Chen Yang to lift the pump and hand it over alone.

It's just that they seem to overestimate their own strength. The water pump is not light, and it may not be able to move it.

Chu Mingcheng wanted a high-power water pump at the time, and one of them weighed sixty to seventy catties, about thirty catties heavier than those portable ones.

Chen Yang reluctantly lifted the boat while the boat kept going up and down, and tried to hand it to Zhang Wei on the reef.

It’s just that Zhang Wei has to wait for a good time to hold the machine when the waves push the boat too high, otherwise he will be carried down by the weight of the machine.

The result was that Chen Yang didn't hold on, and after unloading it in one go, he could only put the machine down.

The two girls also want to help, but there is only room for one person at the bow reef, and the others can't help.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to get out of the cab: "Luoluo, you go to the cab to control the boat, I'll do it here!"

Jiang Luoluo knew his strength, nodded and walked into the cab immediately.

The uncontrolled boat will be taken away by the waves, and after she enters, it will slowly drive back.

And she drove very steadily, which surprised Chu Mingcheng a little bit.

He thought that Jiang Luoluo would have to hit the reef several times before Jiang Luoluo could master this skill.

Afterwards, he asked Chen Yang to step on the reef as well, and lifted the water pump by himself, lifted it above his chest and handed it directly to them.

Zhou Jiayi followed Jiang Luoluo to the cockpit before, and when she saw this scene, she bumped her little sister with her shoulder and joked: "Luoluo, I wasn't sure before, but now I know that you will be very happy in the future."

Jiang Luoluo also understood in seconds, and said angrily: "What are you talking about, are you still envious?"

"If you are envious, let me do it?"

"You want to eat!"

The little girl in the cabin is playing around, and the young man outside the cabin has already moved the pump to the reef.

Afterwards, Chu Mingcheng brought up the specially bought barreled diesel oil, and helped move the water pump to the puddle together.

Put the water inlet pipe on the water pump, pour in diesel oil, and then start the water pump.

The seawater in the puddle is immediately sucked up by the pump and discharged from the other side.

When the three of them finished, they found that Jiang Luoluo had driven the boat to the beach and stopped, and the two of them were tinkering with the rubber boat.

Seeing this, the people in Chuming City stopped managing the water pump and let it work by itself. They waited for someone to walk along the reef to the beach next to it.

By the time they reached the beach, Jiang Luoluo and Zhou Jiayi had already arrived in rubber boats.

And they also brought all the tools, ingredients, and seasonings for dinner together, and Chuming City in the province will have to move it again later.

Two folding tables are placed side by side, and all kinds of barbecue ingredients are piled up on them.

Then Chu Mingcheng cut vegetables with a knife, and the rest of them took bamboo sticks to skewer food.

However, there are not many preparations, mainly considering that there may be a lot of seafood in the puddle, and those things are the protagonists of the night.

Everything was almost prepared, and a few people started to walk towards the puddle.

Only about forty minutes had passed, and the water level in the puddle had dropped a bit, and it would take at least two or three hours before the water was pumped out.

So Jiang Luoluo suggested: "Why don't we look for any shellfish, I brought a big bottle of garlic sauce."

"Okay, then let's divide into groups! Luo Luo and I will go to one side, and you guys will go to the other side." Chu Mingcheng pulled Jiang Luoluo away as he spoke, and gave Zhang Wei a sneaky look by the way.

Zhang Wei nodded slightly to indicate that he had received the signal. After they left, he directly covered his stomach: "Oh, I probably got cold last night. My stomach hurts so much. I'll go and fix it first."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Chen Yang who wanted to say something, and ran away directly.

Chen Yang smiled wryly. He knew the kindness of his brothers, and at this time, he would not back down.

So he took the initiative to take Zhou Jiayi to find edible shellfish conch, and chatted about it.

Chu Mingcheng glanced at the two people who were rushing to the sea together from a distance, and asked in a low voice: "Luo Luo, what is your little sister's impression of A Yang?"

"It's okay, but I didn't say it was a blind date game, so she probably didn't think about it."

"Uh, then you have to explain this to her, right?"

"I know, I'll ask in bed at night."

"That's fine."

Chu Mingcheng nodded, and looked at Chen Yang and the others again. As a brother, he was also heartbroken.

The sun came to the west without knowing it, and it was already half below the sea level.

A group of people didn't find much in the reef area, which is probably the reason why people often visit here. Each of them found traces of oysters being pried!

Chu Mingcheng felt that the time was almost up, so he went to see the situation in the sinkhole.

Then he found that the bottom of the puddle was about to be exposed, and it was estimated that he could go down to pick up fish in about ten minutes, so he asked Jiang Luoluo to call Zhou Jiayi, and asked the two of them to prepare first.

As for the men, they have already put on rain boots, and they can just go down and grab them after putting on gloves.

Is it more labor-saving to fish with a net?

If you don’t need to grasp the puddle, does it still have a soul?

"Damn it, there's a big fish!" Zhang Wei's eyes were sharp, and he found a fish lying flat in the crevice of the stone.

The bottom of the pit is high on one side and low on the other, and the water in the high place has been completely drained, so it is clear at a glance, and fish can be found wherever they hide.

"Get some water in the bucket, you go down and look for places without water first." Chu Mingcheng also saw the body of the fish, so he let Zhang Wei and Chen Yang go down first.

He stayed up there, and had to turn off the pump later.

"OK!" Zhang Wei agreed, and then climbed down with the bucket and Chen Yang first.

He first caught the fish he found, then raised it up and laughed loudly: "Haha, Ah Cheng, look, it's a moire grouper that weighs at least five or six catties."

"Eh, moire grouper? It's rare, and it's usually more abundant in the deep sea." Chu Mingcheng also saw a grouper. He thought it was a relatively common grouper, but he didn't expect it to be a rare one. goods.

This fish is not considered an economical fish because of too little production, but its taste is still very delicious.

The water will be pumped almost, Chu Mingcheng turned off the water pump, and Jiang Luoluo and Zhou Jiayi just came back here, both of them put on waterproof pants.

"You came just in time, the water has been pumped almost enough, you can go down and catch after wearing gloves. But when catching fish, you must pay attention to the dorsal fin of the fish, so as not to get stabbed."

"Can you catch it? Then Jiayi and I will go down first, Acheng, help us down."

"OK."

Send them down, a big puddle for four people to catch fish is actually quite crowded.

After all the water is pumped out, the fish will run to the remaining small puddle. People only need to search around the surrounding areas without water, and then they can concentrate on catching fish in the small puddle.

Chu Mingcheng used crabs to make nests very well. Because of the movement of people in the small puddle, there were fish slapping the water from time to time, indicating that there were a lot of fish.

Then he also went down the puddle and caught fish together.

Putting his hands into the water and groping, he soon found a fish.

The fish started to flee the moment it was touched, but the water was shallow, and the movement of its escape was clear.

Chu Mingcheng had quick eyes and hands, and pressed his hands on the fish's escape route, and immediately held the fish down.

He picked it up and saw that it was a **** sea bream, which should weigh two catties.

However, the fresh live fish was very vigorous. When it flicked its tail and struggled, it almost failed to break free from Chu Mingcheng's grasp.

Fortunately, he has strong hands, so he held it firmly and threw it into the bucket next to him.

But the two girls are different, not only chasing fish.

After finally catching it, the fish broke free again with a flick of its tail, which made their faces muddy, making them scream again and again.

"Damn it! Ah Cheng, come here quickly"

At this time, Zhang Wei suddenly screamed, which attracted the attention of everyone at the bottom of the puddle.

Chuming City was named, so he was the first one to go there: "What's wrong?"

"Look, what is this?" Zhang Wei pointed to a lump of black things and said.

He walked over to take a closer look, and immediately called several people over, especially the two women: "Pay attention, when you encounter particularly ugly seafood in the future, you must not touch it with your hands, just like this fish. .”

"This is a stonefish, a species of scorpionidae. Its dorsal fin is highly poisonous."

Jiang Luoluo and Zhou Jiayi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, because they thought it was so ugly, they wouldn't touch it with their hands rashly.

Afterwards, Chu Mingcheng caught the fish with sea pliers and threw it into the bucket.

"Ah Cheng, can this fish be eaten?" Jiang Luoluo asked doubtfully.

"Of course, don't look at the poisonous dorsal fin of the fish, but its fish meat is very delicious. You can try it tonight."
