Chapter 1098 Longline fishing for hairtail(1/2)
When he arrived home with thousands of dollars in his arms and was surrounded by a group of boatmen, he happily took out 20 yuan and gave it to the two boatmen on duty tomorrow.
"For extra meals tomorrow, I will buy 10 pounds of meat and make braised pork for my cooking aunt."
"Ah, there is meat to eat."
"Haha, the fish they harvested from trawling today are not bad, and they will be able to replenish their oil and water tomorrow."
"If your stomach is oily, don't panic."
"Did you have a good harvest of sea urchins?"
"It's okay. If you eat better, you will have more strength. Your body is your capital..."
The whole rented place was full of joy. People who didn’t have access to water could also eat a meal of meat. Everyone was very happy. 10 pounds of meat without side dishes can be cooked in a large pot. Although it is impossible to open it and eat it, it is still possible.
It's enough to replenish the fuel and water for so many of their strong men.
They were beaming with joy, and other villagers around them also looked envious after hearing about it.
Not everyone's family can afford to eat meat every three days, and what they eat on the beach every day is basically light boiled seafood, and everyone is short of oil and water in their stomachs.
Nowadays, the price of fat meat has increased to two or three yuan per catty, and even pork belly costs two yuan per catty. One catty of meat is worth a day's salary of an average worker, and no one is willing to do this.
Anyway, they don't need much money to eat and drink on a daily basis. There is enough food in the sea, there is no oil and water, but it can still fill their stomachs, and everyone's desires are very low.
Just like today's dinner, in addition to multi-grain rice, it is vegetables, fish and shrimp, all free of charge, not much oil or water, but still enough to fill your stomach.
Father Ye curiously followed him into the house and asked: "How much did you sell for today? And you took 20 yuan to buy meat?"
"Sold for 980 yuan."
"so much……"
“So I’ll also improve the food for everyone.”
People nowadays work hard and work hard just to have something to eat and drink. After all, no one has the pressure to buy a house or a car, they just want to make ends meet.
Now that he has made a lot of money, he can also provide better food for everyone, so that he can work harder and the working atmosphere can be better. Who doesn't want to make money happily?
Father Ye also had a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, I got off to a good start on the first day I went out. I earned so much, so it's okay."
"How are the trawl harvests of other boats today?"
"So-so, give it some subsidies. After all, I haven't started making a lot of money yet, so I'm spending money there. I heard that the good ones are sold for twenty or thirty yuan, and the ordinary ones are sold for more than ten yuan. Not to mention the selling price, the remaining
Those who have come back have enough to eat and drink. I just heard them discussing there, saying that they don’t know what will happen tomorrow, and they plan to go out to trawl the net at night, and then wait for dawn to go to the trench to see, without any delay. "
"Oh, that's alright. If there are no jellyfish, at least we can trawl the net first. It won't be a loss."
"Yes, but some people are not in a good mood and complain that they are early."
"Don't worry about them. There are gossips everywhere, and we don't force them to come. When you make money, you compliment them with a smile, and when you don't make money, you curse. It's normal."
Ye Yaodong doesn't care, human nature is like this.
"Well, when your eldest and second brothers came back from trawling the net, your cousins came to him and started cursing and making a fuss. What's the matter? If you get involved, you can't get rid of him."
"How to say?"
He had been so immersed in fishing for sea urchins that he almost forgot that Ye Yaoguo and his brothers did not have a boat to take them with them today. They could only rock a small wooden boat around the coast and watch helplessly as the large troops ran away.
"What else can you say? If you let your eldest and second brothers go out to sea, you have to take them with you, just like other boats. Wherever your eldest and second brothers are willing, we have agreed at home, no money will be taken, and we will just bring them over by the way, and take them back when the time comes.
, they can figure out how to make money by themselves during the time they are here, and it has nothing to do with others whether they make more or less."
"If there are only one or two boats, who has the energy to take care of them if they have five boats? If you don't make money for yourself, how can you help others make it?"
"I couldn't talk anymore. I made a fuss and they ignored me. Everyone helped me talk. In the end, I had to hold my nose and swallow. Later I came to Ah Sheng again."
"Ah Sheng also said that he couldn't help it. If he just took a boat with him, he also admitted that he was a brother, but he really couldn't help it with five boats. What's more, he rented the boat from you and earned all the money.
How can you partner with others without permission and help others without caring about yourself?"
"Even if he agrees, you definitely don't agree."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Yes, that's right, let them solve it themselves."
"So there was a lot of noise and commotion there in the afternoon. Later, they had to find another way. If there was no way, they could only do like the local fishermen and wait for the peak flood season to come and fish around the coast.
"
"It was also because after we towed the boat back in the morning, they saw nothing from the boat and returned empty-handed, so they felt more balanced and didn't make it too ugly. After a row, it calmed down."
"Actually, fishing around the coast is not bad. You can make a lot of money in a day. It's better than working at home." He told the truth.
There were too many fishing boats in the trench, and he didn't even dare to think that he could fish for a few days. There were too many fishermen, but at least there was a steady stream of jellyfish drifting in from around the coast, which could last for several months.
When they went back in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival two years ago, the locals were still salvaging.
After all the goods in the trench are fished out, other boats will still have to search and salvage all over the sea like the local fishermen. It won't be much better for a few days.
Father Ye shook his head, "That's incomparable. Plus, with all the troops rushing that way, they won't be able to keep up, and they will definitely feel uncomfortable."
"Don't worry about them, they can just take care of themselves. Let's go eat first. We're starving. Have you finished eating?"
Ye Yaodong locked all the money in the password box, and then hid the password box, and then hurriedly wanted to go out to eat, but he was starving to death.
"You've all eaten. I've saved some extra food for you."
“How’s the longlining going?”
"After lunch, everyone worked together. Basically everyone has finished a whole fishing line. I should be able to do a little more before going to bed in the evening."
“The efficiency is quite high.”
"With so many people doing it together, what's the point of spending a long time doing it?"
Ye Yaodong counted in his mind, "If I make another batch that night, there must be more than thirty fishing lines and more than 3,000 hooks."
"After I ran out of materials in the afternoon, I bought another batch and asked them to make some changes. Anyway, I asked them to hang five fish on each fork of a fishing line in the trench.
Six hooks are a little denser. There are almost five to six hundred hooks on one fishing line."
"I'm worried that if there are too many fishing lines, it will be too long if it is stretched out to the coastline. Then I will have to drive the boat into the water and run back and forth to collect it. It will be too strenuous."
Ye Yaodong also imagined what his father said and thought it made sense.
This time they are targeting hairtail in the trench. They are not fishing long lines on the sea surface as usual. They are concentrated. It is a disadvantage to make the long line fishing line too long. It is better to change it and make the hooks denser.
Concentrate your fishing in one area, since the bottom is densely packed anyway.
"Dad said it makes sense. It needs to be changed like this. It should be denser so that we can catch more fish, so as not to stretch the coastline too long. We will have to go into the water frequently to find a good place to put it. I will tell you how much it costs."
"Don't worry, we'll take a look at the situation tomorrow."
"Know."
He was already looking forward to it.
As soon as the boatmen came back, they stripped naked, then fetched a few buckets of well water from the surrounding wells, washed them casually, and then went to eat shirtless.
When Ye Yaodong arrived, everyone was rushing to eat deliciously, and people from other fishing boats also came over to ask him how much the sea urchins sold today.
He only said in a perfunctory manner that he had sold it for a few hundred yuan, and then emphasized that he had invited so many people, and the expenses would cost more than 100 yuan without eating or drinking for a day. The pressure was also great, and he had to find ways to make more money no matter what.
Everyone can't help but ask when the number of jellyfish will increase.
"Just wait a few days. The quantity will always increase day by day. Be patient. The other group of people from the town haven't arrived yet, and the factory hasn't started working yet. It means it's not time yet, so don't worry."
"We just wanted to salvage it first before anyone else comes. Who knew the quantity was so small."
"If the number really increases, people will have arrived a long time ago, and the factory must have started working early. It is normal to say this now, and it is not yet time."
They all came to him with questions, and he patiently comforted them.
"Why are you doing longline fishing there in the afternoon? You can't catch jellyfish..."
"Well, it's also useful."
"I heard that a school of hairtail was found in the water, but is this a temporary solution of any use? When I release it into the sea tomorrow, the fish will have already swam away..."
"A dead horse should be treated as a living horse doctor? But if you have money, then you can do whatever you want..."
"There are no schools of fish, so I can catch other fish, so that's okay..."
The news cannot be concealed, but many people only know one thing but not the other. After all, he only told his father and Pei's father, and the boatman who salvaged it also knew about it, and the person who salvaged it had just returned, so many people only knew that they did
Longline fishing is for catching hairtail, and I don’t know about other things.
Ye Yaodong would definitely not talk too much, but after dinner, when Azheng Xiaoxiao came to ask, he didn't hide it, he just told him honestly.
The two people who heard this were extremely regretful and lamented that they wished they had such a set of equipment, or they had gone into the water with him and discovered together that they could be like A Guang and benefit from it.
Now even if they want to ask Dongzi to take them, they can't get out of the longline fishing.
There is no place to buy materials at night, and they will rush to make it tomorrow. There are few people and they can't make much fishing line. They can only make it for use the day after tomorrow. Maybe there will be more jellyfish the day after tomorrow and they won't be used.
"One step too late, every step too late."
"I can only say that I don't have this kind of wealth and luck."
"I always feel that after Aguang became your brother-in-law, he would follow you every day to take advantage of him and get a share of everything good."
"Yes, this trip to catch jellyfish can earn a lot of agency fees..."
