Ye Yaodong instructs several boatmen on how to place them in the water.

This busy work lasted only two hours.

The net bags were not placed around the beach, but on the left side of the beach where they were staying. After they were placed, he asked everyone to swim ashore and wait until they wake up tomorrow to see the results.

We don't expect a large swath of jellyfish floating around like this morning. If a few scattered ones leak in, it means it's feasible.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, hurry up and take a shower, get on the boat and sleep. It's been a hard day's work today, and it's been hard enough."

Everyone politely said no.

Ye Yaodong was shirtless and wearing shorts, standing on the beach with his hands on his hips, breathing, and looking at the sea.

The boatmen came ashore and began to fetch water for bathing. Fortunately, there was no need to boil hot water in the summer. Each of them had half a basin of cold water, so they took a bath and washed their hair. By the way, they put their clothes in the bath water and rubbed them for a few times.

It was sunny on the boat.

I'm not that particular when I go out, and my clothes aren't that dirty either. It's mostly just sweat.

Ye Yaodong is the same.

While he was taking a bath, Aguang came over and told him what he had just said to Ye's father, and also calculated the money.

"Are you sure you want to pay it back to me, excluding my agency fee?"

"It's necessary. I don't earn all the money. I can't walk when I see the money. But I will return it to you quietly. I still take it from you openly. My eldest brother and my second brother won't let them know."

"I'm a big guy, I'll definitely have hundreds of them in a month..."

"I'm not greedy for money, and I'm not obsessed with money. Without you, I wouldn't be able to think of working as an agency. I might just sit on the pier to enjoy the cool air and eat melon seeds with nothing to do."

"What's more, my father has brought two more big boats. I'm not going to split the agency fees for the two boats. Where is the big part? This can only be regarded as the small part."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's true. The three boats coming tomorrow are all yours, don't divide them. Since I'm making a small profit here, I'll accept it."

"But don't rush to give it to me. It's troublesome to give it back and forth like this today. I'll leave it with you first. Anyway, the order is here. Let's settle the settlement when we get back."

"That's okay too."

"Come on, brothers, let's sleep together."

Ye Yaodong put his arm around his shoulder and walked to the boat together.

"There is something else I want to tell you. In order to make it easier to receive the goods, I have discussed with Chen Jianian. From now on, we will receive the goods three times a day, so that the factory will not be able to queue up the car temporarily and have to wait. Then

It takes up everyone’s time too much.”

"That's good, so that some people will not be greedy and reluctant to come back when they see the small number. Some people will come early and some will be late. One boat will not be able to fill a car, and it is impossible for other people's cars to wait there forever."

Ye Yaodong thinks it would be good to schedule a fixed time to dock. Everyone can go ashore to sell together, and get on the boat together after the goods are sold. They can also have someone to take care of them, and they don't have to worry about being spotted if they are left alone.

"Yes, that's what I think. We fish separately. There are many and scattered fishing boats. The docking time is not consistent. We can't just call a car when the boat comes back."

"There are more than a dozen ships there, and it's impossible for the cars to just watch the goods from a few of our ships and collect them there. They also have to go to other villages to collect the goods."

"It's best to have the same time. If we don't dock at the same time, let them find a way to marinate it and wait for the next car."

He had no objection, it had no impact on him. Anyway, as long as he told it in advance, they would control the time and send it back when the time came.

"I know, have you informed the others?"

"As I said, we discussed it in the afternoon, and told everyone when we were selling goods in the evening, because we encountered such a problem when selling goods in the afternoon. The return was not uniform, and the car could not be on call at all times, or it would have to wait there all the time.

"

"Which three times?"

"8:30~9:00 in the morning, 2:00~2:30 in the afternoon, 6:00~6:30 in the evening, tractors and trucks will arrive at about the same time, and there may be some before and after. I'll see you guys then.

You can catch whichever car you can, and if they are both there at the same time, it’s up to them to choose.”

Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder, "It seems that you had a good communication with Chen Jianian this afternoon?"

"Uncle Yang's factory is like two people working together. He doesn't suffer any loss. He can't accept even one tractor. Let's talk and communicate so that he can understand the situation. This is how we are good to you and me."

"Otherwise, if I don't be more ethical and don't give him money, he won't be able to do anything. At most, my reputation will be a little bad, but the villagers will still recognize me. If I don't need the reputation, I can get more money."

"If you dare to cause trouble behind your back, we have 15 boats, and you have guns on the boat. How can you be afraid of them, so cooperation is the best for everyone."

Aguang was proud of himself. He was not a vegetarian, and he was not as smooth-talking as Dongzi, but he was not stupid, he was also a lively person, and he was also good at talking and doing things.

"Okay, okay, you are both soft and hard, but don't let my dad know, he is old-fashioned."

"Well, it's just this year anyway. As long as everyone is doing well on the surface, everyone will do their own thing next year. He knows it in his heart. Anyway, he won't suffer any losses this year. He has benefited a lot from you bringing out so many ships."

"Okay, then I will dock early tomorrow according to the time you agreed for the car to arrive."

Some of the boatmen on the boat were already snoring, and some were chatting quietly.

When the two of them lay down on their own seats, the conversation was still intense, and Ah Zheng lowered his voice and muttered.

"Will this net bag you are messing with be useful?"

"It should be useful, right? I'm not sure. I'll know it tomorrow morning anyway."

He only knows that this is how people breed them, so catching them shouldn't be a problem, right?

Anyway, you won't lose money no matter what. Only by trying it will you know whether it is trustworthy. If it doesn't work, just put in more effort. The fishing net can be reused again and again.

"You spent the whole day on the dock today. How are you? Are there any gangsters or anything like that?"

"Don't tell me, there really are. Aren't there a few small house purchase points next to the pier? I just watched a group of gangsters come to collect protection fees, and the stall owners all paid them honestly."

"I also asked why the public security bureau was so arrogant right next to it. Some people said they had taken care of it, but they would pop up again within a few hours. If they didn't beat people or do anything, they could at most give them a lesson and drive them away.

.”

"It's not always possible to catch people if they really cause trouble. They are all young people in their teens and twenties, with very nimble legs and feet. If they are caught, they will be locked up for a few days and then released. This is commonplace, and those people are not afraid.

"

"So as long as there are no major problems, we basically don't care. The police can't keep watch all day long. Everyone is used to it. They say they only come once or twice a month, and the family just takes a few dollars and leaves.

"

"Okay, then you should be smarter. If you have nothing to do during your free time, you might as well sit in front of the Public Security Bureau and show them the door."

Aguang said with a smile: "That's what I think. The thicker the skin, the more you can eat well. Once you are raw, you will be familiar with it the next time. If you are a ready-made janitor, you can still look familiar."

"You can figure it out yourself. Go to bed. I'll probably get up at 4 o'clock tomorrow."

The others had also fallen asleep long ago while they were chatting quietly, and their snores were still ringing loudly.

Ye Yaodong was also exhausted. He had not rested like this from 4 o'clock in the morning to now around 9 o'clock in the evening. He fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes and did not feel the noise in his ears.

He had no dreams all night until dawn. Today he woke up by himself, with things on his mind, and he was also very punctual in life.

The boatmen on the ship either covered their heads with clothes or put their arms over their eyes to block the light.

When he sat up, Father Ye also sat up and whispered: "It's almost dawn."

"Um."

Ye Yaodong looked at the sea surface. Yesterday, there was a group of jellyfish surrounding the fishing boat. They were not visible today. He only saw two floating in the farthest distance. It was unclear what was going on in the net bag.

"Not today, Dad, go ahead and sleep a little longer."

"No, then just keep sleeping for a while."

Both father and son were slightly disappointed, but Ye Yaodong thought that it would probably be dawn, so he could check again later, but it was already in the net pocket. It was still early, and the tide had not yet ebbed.

The two covered their heads and planned to go back to sleep. Some people on other boats also woke up early and wanted to see if there were any jellyfish swarms today, but it was the same, so they took a look and continued to lie back.

It was bright again this time, and the sun was high in the sky. After a few people got up, others also got up one after another, and there began to be a little noise around them.

"A Dong, are you up? You can go check out the net bag you put down yesterday..."

"The tide is out, and I saw jellyfish inside..."

"Yes, you can pull up the net and take a look."

Some fishing boats are far away from each other, so you can't see them clearly, and they are all shouting there.

Ye Yaodong also woke up and climbed onto the reef. He looked over and saw that there were several different colors. He immediately called on seven or eight people to join him in the water, and went over to take in the two nets to have a look.

Everyone was also curious, either on the boat or standing on the rocks to take a look.

The tide had gone out, and they didn't have to swim like they did last night. As soon as Ye Yaodong and the others walked through the water to the net bag, they saw five or six large and small transparent jellyfish of various colors inside, and they were all delighted.

"It really does!"

"Dongzi, you can really do this. There are also two big ones and two small ones in the net bag here, which weighs more than 100 kilograms."

"It's similar here. There are three big ones and two small ones. They should weigh two hundred kilograms. It's really OK to put them in a net bag like this."

"Collect it first, divide it into two groups, and use three or four people to collect one net. This one is very heavy."

Pulling the net is a laborious task. At night, I just put two random nets in for a test, and I was able to net nearly ten, and half of them were very large, weighing about three hundred kilograms in total, so it was worth it.

These jellyfish, plus the net bag and the weight of the sea water, are really heavy. Three or four of them worked together and used a bamboo pole as a lever, and they could only move slowly to the shore bit by bit.

However, everyone’s faces were filled with the joy of the harvest.

When everyone on the shore saw the net they were moving up little by little, they all started whispering.
