Chapter 201 Pump Pump (Part 2)

At noon, we simply settled on the boat. Since we bought a lot of cooked food, there was no need for Chu Mingcheng to go out to cook. The focus of the group was dinner.

It wasn't until about two o'clock in the afternoon that they finally arrived at their destination.

When I went to pick up people, I sailed against the current after entering the Qiantang River, so the speed was slower. When I went out to sea, I just went downstream, and the speed was almost an hour faster than in the morning.

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

"It should be. Look, this is where the photo was taken." Jiang Luoluo clicked on the photo on her phone to compare it, and nodded in confirmation.

"I don't know what we can catch later!" Zhou Jiayi clasped her hands tightly with a look of expectation. This look made her look particularly girlish.

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

However, Jiang Luoluo would not look at her good sisters in this way. She knew that this was just Zhou Jiayi's personal habit.

"It's just fish, crabs, etc. We'll find out later when the water is drawn."

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

After a while, there was a slight feeling of collision on the hull, which was the shock of the bow of the ship hitting the rocks.

Having arrived at the entry point, Chu Mingcheng tried his best to keep the boat as steady as possible in the wheelhouse, while Zhang Wei and Chen Yang worked together to lift the water pump and start pushing on the rocks.

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

After trying twice, the two found that they couldn't lift the machine to push on the rocks together, so Zhang Wei pushed on the rocks first, then turned around and asked Chen Yang to lift the pump and hand it over alone.

It's just that they seemed to have overestimated their own strength. The water pump is not light, and it may not be able to lift it easily.

What Chu Mingcheng wanted at that time was a high-power water pump. One weighed sixty or seventy kilograms, which was about thirty kilograms heavier than those lightweight ones.

As the boat continued to rise and fall, Chen Yang reluctantly lifted it up and tried to pass it to Zhang Wei on the rocks.

It's just that Zhang Wei has to wait for a good opportunity and wait for the waves to lift the boat too high before he can hold the machine firmly, otherwise he will be carried down by the weight of the machine.

As a result, Chen Yang couldn't hold on and could only put the machine down after unloading it in one go.

The two girls also wanted to help, but there was only room for one person at the bow of the boat, and there was no way for others to help.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to walk out of the cab: "Luoluo, you go to the cab to control the ship. I'll be the one here!"

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

The uncontrolled boat was carried away a little by the waves, and after she entered, it slowly drove back.

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

He thought that the boat would have to hit the rocks several times before Jiang Luoluo could master this technique.

Then, he asked Chen Yang to step on the reef, and he lifted the water pump, raised it to his chest and handed it directly to them.

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

Jiang Luoluo understood immediately and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Are you jealous?"

"I envy you and give it to me?"

"You're thinking about eating!"

The little girl inside the cabin was playing around, and the young man outside the cabin had moved the water pump to the rocks.

Chu Mingcheng then brought up the specially purchased barrels of diesel and helped move the water pump to the puddle.

Put the water inlet pipe on the water pump, pour in the diesel, 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, Chu Mingcheng and others stopped caring about the water pump and let it work by itself. They and others walked along the reef to the beach next to it.

By the time they reached the beach, Jiang Luoluo and Zhou Jiayi had also arrived in a rubber boat.

Moreover, they also brought all the tools, ingredients, and seasonings for dinner together, saving Chu Mingcheng from having to move them again later.

Two folding tables were placed side by side, piled with various barbecue ingredients.

Then Chu Mingcheng cut vegetables with a knife, and the remaining people skewered food with bamboo sticks.

However, we didn’t prepare a lot, mainly because there might be a lot of seafood in the water hole, and those things would be the star of the night.

Everything was almost ready, and a few people started walking towards the puddle.

Only about forty minutes have passed, and the water level in the puddle has dropped a bit. It will take at least two or three hours before the water is pumped out.

So Jiang Luoluo suggested: "How about we look for any shellfish? I brought a large bottle of garlic sauce."

"Okay, let's divide into groups! Luo Luo and I will go to one side, and you guys will be on the other side." Chu Mingcheng said as he pulled Jiang Luo Luo away and gave Zhang Wei a subtle look.

Zhang Wei nodded slightly to indicate that he had received the signal. After they left, he directly covered his stomach: "Oops, I may have been frozen last night. My stomach hurts. I'll go take care of it first."

After saying that, he ran away regardless of what Chen Yang wanted to say.

Chen Yang smiled bitterly. He knew the good intentions of his brothers, but even now, he would not back down.

So he took the initiative to take Zhou Jiayi to look for edible shellfish and conch, and found a topic to chat with.

Chu Mingcheng glanced at the two people gathered together to catch the sea from a distance, and asked in a low voice: "Luoluo, what is your little sister's impression of Ayang?"

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

"Well, you have to make this clear to her, right?"

"I know, I'll ask when I go to 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 unknowingly and was already half below the sea level.

A group of people didn't find much in the reef area. It was probably because people frequented the reef area. Each of them found traces of the oysters being pried!

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

Then he discovered that the bottom of the puddle was about to emerge. 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 let them prepare first.

As for the men, they had already put on their rain boots, and they could just put on their gloves and go grab them later.

Is it easier to fish with a dip net?

If you don’t use your hands to pump a puddle, is there still a soul?

"Damn, there's a big fish!" Zhang Wei's sharp eyes actually found a fish lying flat in the cracks of the rocks.

The bottom of the pit is high on one side and low on the other. The water in the high places 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 first and look for the place where there is no water." Chu Mingcheng also saw the fish body, so he asked Zhang Wei and Chen Yang to go down first.

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

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

He first caught the fish he found, then raised it and laughed and said, "Haha, look at Acheng, a moire grouper weighing at least five or six pounds."

"Hey, moire grouper? This thing is 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 economic fish due to the small production, but its taste is still very delicious.

Now that the water was almost pumped, Chu Mingcheng turned off the water pump, and Jiang Luoluo and Zhou Jiayi happened to come back here, both of them put on waterproof pants.

"You came just in time. The water has been pumped out. You can go in and catch it with your gloves on. But when catching fish, you must pay attention to the fish's dorsal fin to avoid being stabbed."

"Can we arrest you? Then Jiayi and I will go down first. Acheng, please help us."

"OK."

Sending them down, it would be quite crowded for four people to catch fish in a big puddle.

After all, after the water is pumped out, the fish will run to the remaining small puddle. People only need to look for a circle around the area where there is no water, and then they can concentrate on catching fish in the small puddle.

Chu Mingcheng used crabs to make nests very effectively. Due to the movement of people in the small puddle, there was the sound of fish splashing in the water from time to time, indicating that there were a lot of fish.

Then he followed him into the waterhole and caught fish together.

He put his hands into the water and groped around, and soon he found a fish.

The fish started to run away the moment it was touched, but the water was shallow, so the movement of its escape was clear.

Chu Mingcheng had quick eyesight and quick hands. He pressed his hands towards the escape route of the fish and directly held the fish down.

He picked it up and saw that it was a large black sea bream, which seemed to weigh two kilograms.

However, the fresh live fish is very powerful. When it swung its tail and struggled, it almost escaped from Chu Mingcheng's hand.

Fortunately, he had strong hands and held it firmly before throwing it into the bucket next to him.

But the two girls are different. They are not just chasing fish.

After finally catching it, the fish broke free again with a flick of its tail, and even threw mud and water on their faces, causing them to scream in surprise.
