Ye Yaodong went to call the boatmen to prepare for the second net. Everyone immediately took their positions. The person who had pulled the cable in front had to change to someone else this time, and they were all very self-conscious.

Everyone in the village is familiar with each other and knows their character. Father Ye has thought carefully when looking for people, and he has found people who are reliable and hard-working. Everyone has a good eye, takes turns, and divides the work and cooperates.

After seeing that everyone was ready, he added: "When the net is put away, Chen Shi will cook first, and everyone will sort out the rest. Then we will divide it into two shifts. The two of us will go to my father's house."

In the middle of the night, two people stayed with me for the rest of the night."

The second half of the night is a bit more difficult. After all, it’s hard to fall asleep right after eating, and then you probably have to get up immediately after squinting for a while.

It's better to keep your eyes open until midnight, and then have a deep sleep after the shift.

But he was a son, a young man, and strong, so of course he had to work till midnight.

"Okay, then when the net is collected, the four of us will divide it up."

"What time is it in the first half of the night?"

"It's twelve o'clock, right? I'll start at seven o'clock and rest until twelve o'clock. Then I'll go from twelve o'clock in the middle of the night to five or six o'clock in the morning, which happens to be dawn. If you feel tired, you can also discuss it and take advantage of the free time when you are offline.

It’s okay to catch up on some sleep if you have time.”

Everyone nodded and discussed while watching the machine rotate.

Under the pulling force of the net reeling machine, the sea surface port began to gradually tighten. After it was completely tightened, the trawl was slowly pulled out of the water.

As the pulling force becomes stronger and stronger, the net rolling machine also begins to make a tightening sound.

It was already getting dark at this time, and it only took a moment to set up a net before it became completely dark.

The lights on the boat are also on, but the wattage is too low and the light is not that good. Everyone needs to bring their own headlights to facilitate sorting at a time, so as not to miss some fish due to weak light.

Some fish look very similar, such as the small yellow croaker and the plum blossom. They are both golden yellow and have similar body shapes. They can be distinguished by the shape of their heads. It is easy to mistake them under poor lighting conditions.

The fishing net was towed to the left side of the ship, and the crane on the front deck hoisted the fishing net to the top of the deck. Everyone also turned on the flashlights and headlights that had been prepared and shined it.

"Another big bag of toad fish!"

"Fuck the toad fish...ah, there are manta rays..."

"How many? Have you photographed..."

"There seem to be two?"

"This one is a bit big. It's wrapped in a fishing net. It looks like there are two of them. Let's take a look at it after we pour it out."

"The net is exploded, the net is exploded, this net is exploded, I saw a lot of red fish..."

"There are a lot of red fish. I saw a lot of horsehead fish and pipa shrimp. There are a lot of valuable things in this net..."

"It's bright red and quite pretty, but there are still more toad fish..."

"Those red ones are valuable!"

"It's all good. Toad fish is better than trash fish. All trash fish have to be dumped into the sea. Don't worry about it being cheap. Goods that can be sold for money are good ones."

Ye Yaodong really thinks that toad fish is very good, and it’s not just words. This fish brought him his first fortune, opened up his sales of dried fish, and led to the scale of his current workshop and shop.

His reborn brain was also activated step by step.

"Yes, as long as it can be sold for money, it is a good product. The majority of the fish are toads, and the number of small miscellaneous fish seems to be small."

After a while, the net bag full of catch was dumped on the deck in an instant.

When the goods were first brought in, everyone used flashlights to shine and could only see a little bit through the fishing nets. They all relied on guessing what was in the package. With such a big package, only the tip of the iceberg could be seen.

After everything was scattered on the deck, everyone could see clearly what goods were wrapped in the middle, and they were all very happy.

"Wow...two more manta rays and a shark..."

"Ah! It really hit the internet, there are so many horsehead fish and pipa shrimp steaks."

"Yes, the harvest from this net is better. This net can be sold for hundreds of yuan. There are also two big manta rays, which makes a lot of money..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the goods in this net are quite valuable. Not only the red fish and shrimps, but also some small tubes and sword shrimps."

"The trawlers in the village have been working for a month to reach this net..."

"Yeah yeah……"

"Put the net down first and then talk..."

Immediately, everyone simply continued to log off the net again.

This process of collecting and lowering the net lasts about half an hour. This work requires experience, strength, and quick hands and feet. Tight ropes, rotating machines, and slippery soles all have hidden dangers.

It's even more dangerous in the dark. If the waves are bigger, you can easily be swept directly into the sea by the waves, and people around you can't help even if they want to.

After the fishing net was put down again, everyone looked at the small mountain of seafood on the deck.

"This package seems to be taller than the one just now. It's like a hill, almost as tall as me."

"How tall are you? You are 1.6 meters tall, right? Hahaha..."

"You're not that tall either. Don't laugh. Only A Dong is the tallest. I don't know how he grew. There's no one taller than him in the whole village."

"Hurry up and get to work. It's getting dark. Let's quickly pick things up. After picking out what you should sleep on, go to bed..."

"Work, work, work..."

"Today, the two nets have received very good goods. If I add a few more nets, the fish warehouse will not be able to hold them..."

"This is a good thing, the warehouse is full of fish and shrimp!"

Everyone still picks the toad fish there first. After all, this fish is relatively large in this net and there are a lot of them. It is easier to sort out the toad fish first and then pick other items.

But Ye Yaodong fell in love with those Pipa shrimps that were jumping around.

He habitually picks the more expensive ones first. This is a habit left over from his previous life. After all, after the turn of the millennium, sea resources gradually became scarce. The boatmen working on the ship picked the most valuable items first after receiving the goods.

High.

Choose from expensive to cheap.

Moreover, he also felt that there were a lot of Pipa shrimps coming from this net, much more than the previous net, and it felt like they were half as many as toad fish.

It’s just that after dark, there is not enough light. Everyone is attracted by the size of the devil. Compared with other fish, the Pipa shrimp is too small and a bit inconspicuous. In addition, there are quite a lot of red fish in this net.

"There are a lot of Pipa shrimps, aren't they? It's almost half of the basket just by picking them up?"

"Yes, it seems so. It looked red as soon as I pulled it up, which is particularly conspicuous at night. I saw a lot of horsehead fish, so I thought there were more horsehead fish."

"There are a lot of red fish products on this website..."

"It means we have entered the deep water area. In deeper waters, the colors of fish have become more colorful, especially this kind of red fish, which are all in deeper waters."

"I'll also take some Pipa shrimps and boil them later. Pick up a few of whatever you want to eat, throw them into the pot together, cook them in one pot and put them there. Whoever is free can go and eat a few bites, pick the fat ones, and eat the crab legs.

, there is no need to chew on the shrimp heads and the like, just break them off and throw them into the sea, there are plenty of shrimps and crabs anyway." Ye Yaodong said while picking the goods.

"Pick up the rest later. Don't rush to sweep them all into the sea. Just pick up the fat ones and throw them into the pot to cook a big pot. You still have to sell the ones that can be sold for money. They are worthless.

That’s enough for us to eat.”

"Yes, you can sell it for money, but you can't eat it in your mouth. It's worthless. Picking up just a little bit is enough to make our stomachs full."

"Look at these crabs. They are very hard. There is red paste when you break them open. But they are not that big. It would be a pity to go to the sea. It would be good to pick up a few and cook them in a pot later, and just eat their crab paste..."

Someone randomly picked up a swimming crab and violently broke off its big feet while it was still bouncing around. Then he peeled the crab shell raw, and the red crab paste flowed all over his hands, and he threw it aside casually.

"This crab paste is pretty good. If you collect it and make a big jar, it will be very fragrant..."

"Whoever has the spare time is too lazy to eat and still peels..."

"There are quite a few horsehead fish in this net, and they are red..."

Everyone was happily chatting while picking and talking at length.

The speed of sorting is also fast when there are many people. Once a basket is full, it is pushed to the corner. It is not until all the goods are sorted that Ye Yaodong straightens up and counts the quantity.

They can probably count the weight of goods in a bamboo basket by lifting it with their hands.

There were 32 baskets of toad fish. Each of the big toad fish weighed at least five or six kilograms. Each basket held about seventy or eighty kilograms. There should be one weighing more than two thousand kilograms.

There are also pipa shrimps, ranging from 5,60 to 7,80 liang each. A basket is not full, which weighs 60, 70 kilograms. There are also 12 baskets, which weigh about 700 to 800 kilograms. Although it is big, the price is the same as sword shrimp.

It's about the same, 30 cents at the dock, and about 15 cents on the fresh-picking boat.

This type of fish is worth over a hundred yuan, which is much more expensive than the two thousand kilograms of toad fish.

Thinking about it, the price is indeed much lower compared to the market. It costs 1.5 cents on the fresh-picking ship, at least 30 cents to 3.5 cents when transferred to the wholesale market, and 3 cents on the wharf to wholesalers, and you get 4 cents.

If it is sold to the common people, it will cost 60 to 70 cents. It is exploited at every level, and the price difference between middlemen is constantly increasing.

What real fishermen earn, after deducting fuel and labor costs, is at most only one-tenth or two-tenths of what is available on the market.

It would be cheaper for fishermen to catch it directly and sell it at the dock or at the entrance of the market, or to sell it along the street.

However, the net weighed several thousand kilograms, which was quite a harvest for him, and the net contained a lot of good goods.

There are also 6 baskets of horsehead fish. This fish is bright red and festive. It can be worth one or two cents when picked fresh by the boat, and it can also be sold for sixty or seventy yuan.

There were also odds and ends of the same value, including one and a half baskets of poli fish, one and a half baskets of sword shrimps, half a basket of small tubes, and five baskets of various assorted fish that could be sold for money.

There were also more than twenty octopuses crawling all over the boat. After everyone had sorted them out, they separated to catch them.
