Chapter 984: Expanded Fish Gills (7000 words)(1/3)
"You're afraid that you can't cut it if you eat it? I'll eat it even if it's raw!"
"Hahaha, Adong is still generous and willing to eat it, otherwise, a few pieces will be just a few pieces."
"No way, haven't you ever tasted such a big one? Give it a try, how does such a big one compare to the small one?" Ye Yaodong said vaguely with words in his mouth.
"Let's see if one or two can be caught in the fishing net later..."
"I think it will definitely blow up the Internet later!"
"Yes, yes, I think so too. Mazu will definitely bless us to fill our warehouse with fish and shrimp..."
Ye Yaodong listened to the chatter in his ears and ate quickly. After eating, he went to get a camera and took a photo of the manta ray on the deck. Then while the food was still hot, he hurried to change his father.
When taking the photo, the big manta ray could still swing its tail slightly, and it was not dead at all. It was too tenacious to survive.
He controlled the fishing boat and kept moving forward. He looked at his watch from time to time and paid attention to the time.
It was around 2:30, which he estimated to have dragged on for two and a half to three hours, before he walked out of the cockpit and shouted to everyone, "Get ready to launch the net~"
After hearing this, everyone immediately stood up and got ready, instead of sitting around and sitting around.
The manta ray on the deck had been cleaned up after dinner. Everyone looked at it as if it was dead, so they cut off its tail and threw it into the sea.
Several people worked together, picking their noses, lifting their buttocks, and moving their pectoral fins to move the big fish into the fish hold.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to move such a big fish back and forth on the deck, and a large bag of fish would take up space when the net is set up.
Father Ye listened to Dongzi shouting to raise the net, and asked two boatmen to each pull a cable to the side of the ship on both sides, wrap the rope around the roller, and use the power of the machine to quickly pull the cable.
The fishing net is also under the pulling force of the net rolling machine, and the net mouth on the sea begins to gradually tighten. After it is completely tightened, the fishing net is slowly dragged upward until it is dragged out of the water.
"Wow, what a big package!"
"Ah! There are manta rays and sharks in there!"
"There are also a lot of toad fish..."
"Except for manta rays and sharks, the entire net is filled with toad fish..."
"The flood season for toad fish has not passed yet..."
As soon as the fishing net was pulled out of the water, everyone saw the goods inside and started talking about it.
This was just the first day out to sea, and it was also the first time the big ship came out. We also saw a battle between two races at sea. Everyone was still excited and wanted to say a few words about everything they saw. After a while, things would probably change.
He worked silently and silently.
It still feels fresh now, but after a while it will almost feel numb.
As the net rolling machine continued to exert force, the entire fishing net was slowly lifted up, and the heavy weight directly bent the mast.
After a while, the net bag full of catch was dumped on the deck in an instant.
Some fish were dead due to gravity and pressure, but some were still bouncing and swaying their tails when they were dumped on the deck because of their tenacious vitality. Crabs crawled around, and shrimps kept curling up. There were a lot of them.
Miscellaneous goods covered the entire deck, rising up like a hill.
Of course, the most eye-catching ones are of course the largest devil rays and sharks. The two huge devils completely covered the deck. Their bodies overlapped in half, and there were a bunch of fish, shrimps and crabs scattered on them.
Covered a large area.
One shark was still pinned down by two overlapping manta rays, and only a little bit came out. At this time, it was still struggling, trying to get out from under their abdomens.
The other two sharks were scattered on the deck, still swaying their heads. The experienced boatmen immediately picked up the sticks and gave the two lone sharks a few blows on the head until they were killed and stopped moving.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"It looks longer than me. Is that really scary?"
"How else would you dare to fight with such a big manta ray? And even bite it?"
"You're not moving, are you? Just not moving..."
"There is another one at the bottom like a devil... The devil's tail keeps moving, but two of them fall there. One is facing us with his head, and the other is facing us with his tail. His tail is swaying, and he doesn't dare to get close."
"Wait a minute or bleed these sharks first."
When Ye Yaodong was collecting the fishing nets, he stopped the boat for a moment, ran out and took a look, with a smile on his face.
"The first net's delivery was pretty good. I got two manta rays and three big sharks. I poked the manta ray's nose with a longer bamboo pole, pushed it to the corner, and knocked out the other shark first, so as not to
It can still bite people, so we should clean up the fish on the deck first."
This pile, which stood out like a hill, weighed at least four to five thousand kilograms, and it took an hour or two to collect it, just in time to clean it up before the next wave of fishing nets came up.
Father Ye also had a smile on his face, "These four to five thousand kilograms of toad fish can be sold for dozens of yuan. The boat that collects the fresh fish will give you two cents at most. It would be great if you catch it online at home and drag it back directly to dry the fish."
A good deal.”
"No need to say, they have come all the way out, how can they drag them back? The price here is tens of dollars, and those two devils weigh four to five hundred pounds. They are so big, and the intact ones should be worth tens of dollars more.
Add in the two big sharks and other miscellaneous fish and shrimps and remove the useless ones, and you should be able to earn two hundred yuan, which is pretty good."
If a big net like this could be sold for more than a hundred yuan, it would be better than catching fish at home for two days. This is because the harvesting boat is discounted by nearly half.
"Yeah, it's not bad, but I'm not familiar with the nearby waters. Apart from the Harvest, I don't know any fishing boats. I don't know where to go ashore. If it's not far away, I can sell it ashore and double the price."
"Let's clean it up first. You go sail the boat. I'll watch from here and direct the boatman to lower the net first."
If you can get 200 yuan for the first network, and haul six or seven networks a day, then if you can get 1,230 yuan, it will be better than the first time you sell goods on Harvest.
I remember when I was settling accounts a few months ago, Harvest called the fresh harvest ship to come over to collect the goods for the first time. It took two days to save the goods before selling them for just over a thousand yuan.
I went to sea for five or six days and sold three times in total for more than 3,000 yuan. After deducting most of the gas, wages and expenses, I made a net profit of more than 1,000 yuan. I got more than 180 yuan per share. Everyone was happy with smiles on their faces.
Flowers bloomed.
It was also on that occasion that he split more than 500 shares into three shares and came out for the first time.
There were a few big fish in this net today, which directly doubled the value. Although those toad fish are not valuable, they are better because of their large quantity, and they are better than useless trash fish.
Ye's father listened to his instructions and ran to start the boat. Several boatmen put the fishing nets into the water again, continued to trawl, and then worked hard to load the fish on the deck.
The two big manta rays have been pushed to the corner by the bamboo poles, which does not affect them from packing other goods.
"There are few miscellaneous fish in this net today, all are toad fish..."
"You don't have to fall back into the sea. This toad fish is big and can be sorted very quickly..."
"This basket is full. Let's take it to the fish warehouse and add some ice cubes..."
"This fish is slimy and disgusting. It's just like snot. It's just delicious. It's all cartilage. It's very fragrant when cooked with distiller's lees..."
"You don't have to worry about fish at sea..."
Everyone chatted while working, and they looked much better than in the morning. After Chen Shi had work to do, his attention was diverted and his complexion looked much better.
This was purely a fear of the boundless sea. It was not seasickness, but a sense of panic brought about by running to the middle of the sea for the first time. It was boundless, surrounded by water on all sides, and only the ship was the center of the world.
Ye Yaodong took advantage of his free time to chat with him for a while and comforted him. He had to rely on self-regulation. Now he seems to have recovered a little, so that's okay.
He put on his gloves and helped with the sorting. Everyone held a basket and picked the toad fish first. After all, toad fish accounted for a large proportion on the entire deck.
An old fisherman had already bled two large sharks. While everyone was rummaging around, when they came across any fish that needed to be bled, they all threw them into a basket and pushed them over to continue bleeding them.
No one needs to say anything, everyone spontaneously performs their duties. In the past, before the production team was disbanded, there were no elderly people who had not gone to sea, but they did not go so far. Everyone also did the work at sea.
Used to it.
This is the benefit of having experience.
The fishing boats kept moving forward, and the Harvest was also working in the distance. There were no abnormal conditions in the surrounding sea. I just didn't know if they had also set up a net, and how they were receiving the goods.
Ye Yaodong squatted for an hour, his waist was sore, and then he and the workers roughly sorted all the goods and carried them to the fish warehouse.
For the few valuable groceries left on the deck, everyone also picked up a few bowls of their favorite foods to prepare for cooking in the evening. Others were swept up with brooms, and baskets were dumped back into the sea.
"It's a pity. If I could send it home, I could just pickle it or dry it and eat it for a long time."
"Oh, there's so much in the sea that it takes up too much space to send to the harvest ship."
Ye Yaodong watched with heartache as they returned basket after basket of worthless goods to the sea, which could be used to ferment fish sauce, dry in the sun, or pickle salted fish.
In the future, there will be fish that no one wants, it just depends on the price. Now it is indeed being rejected and taking up space, and it can only be returned to where it came from.
"I've almost killed the remaining ones. You can wash them and hang them up, let them dry in the sun on the boat for two days, and we'll have something to eat."
"Then take a rope and tie it..."
Using local materials, everyone is very familiar with it.
"Do you want to kill the manta ray that you picked up before? It's just a free moment now. The second net hasn't come up yet. By the time the second net comes up, it's almost time to make dinner again. If you want to kill it, of course, kill it while it's fresh.
." asked the old boatman named Chen Laoqi who has been responsible for killing fish.
Everyone turned to Ye Yaodong, waiting for him to speak.
After all, he had just said he wanted to stay and taste it, but he might have changed his mind, so he had to ask first how much it cost.
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Let's kill them together by the way. Let's steam a bowl at night and let everyone taste it to see the difference between a few hundred kilograms of devil fish and a few kilograms of manta ray."
"Okay!"
"A Dong is so awesome!"
