Ye Yaodong still took the three people with him during the day at night. The original team continued to go to sea. However, due to the rise and fall of the tide, it was almost dawn when they went to sea.

By the time we arrived at Oarfish Island, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the beach was golden, mixed with some white floating objects and white foam washed by the waves.

The four members of Little Azheng's family are already there. It seems that they have just arrived, otherwise there would not be squid floating on the beach and in the water.

When Ye Yaodong and the others arrived, they each took buckets or sacks, and hand nets, and followed them down to the beach.

"Dongzi, you are too late, we have almost finished picking up all this."

"After we've picked them up, let's dig up spat barnacles on the rocks."

When he saw the densely packed rocks on the rocks yesterday, he felt itchy and unbearable.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not suitable to go into the water early in the morning, there were many of them, so they knocked out a few more sacks and carried them back.

His mother has been very busy in the past two years and rarely goes to the rocks to pry these things. The fresh shellfish he eats are usually dug by his relatives, aunts and so on, and then distributed everywhere.

If the quantity is large, the meat will be dug out, dried, and then sold to him.

Everyone in the village knew that he wanted these dried goods, but some of the nearby islands had dug them all up, and it would take time to grow them again. If they were bits and pieces, if they were willing to sell them for money, they would definitely keep them for their own consumption.

.

Now it was only these distant islands that were densely growing, so he happened to have a lot of people with him, so he took the opportunity to pry some of them back.

The workshop now has a lot of manpower, so we are not afraid that there will be no workers to do these troublesome things.

"Why did you bring us the ground cage yesterday? Didn't you tell us to give it to us? We don't need it now." Azheng asked, also holding a bucket in one hand and a fishing net in the other.

"Then give it to me. I don't have any use for it. I'm just going to fish longlines at home in the past few days. When my harvest boat arrives next month, I'm even going to hire people for the big boat."

Xiaoxiao also quickly put down what he was doing, looked up and asked in surprise: "Ah, let me go, you don't even drive the Dongsheng, then who should we go with then?"

"Follow my father and the others, or you can ask my father to open the harvest boat when the time comes. We'll take turns and we'll see when the time comes."

"That's good."

"So now that you have the fresh food boat, are you going to Zhejiang Province this year?"

"I'll definitely go."

He was thinking about setting up a scale and using the fresh harvesting ship to collect their jellyfish directly at sea, thus achieving a win-win situation.

It saves everyone the trouble of not having to go back and forth. After processing, the goods can be sold to him at a cheaper price. They can all stay where they are and catch more jellyfish, while he drives the fresh harvest boat back and forth to sell the goods, a win-win situation.

However, it may only be a short period of a few days. When the trench is finished fishing, everyone can only salvage scattered things on the sea surface and disperse them everywhere.

Then there is no need for him to drive around on a harvesting boat to collect goods. This kind of scattered salvage will not collect much goods, and it is not enough to subsidize the fuel expenses.

It will definitely only last a few days, and a few large ships will probably go out to sea to trawl the nets, and the fresh-water harvesting ships will be able to go back and forth to collect the goods from the large ships.

And the small boat he had left in his hand, the No. 7 boat that had been sailing in the past few days, would be taken to the trench and let the boatmen salvage the sea urchins.

This is not bad.

So you have to use your brain to make money, and you have to come up with new tricks every year and do fancy things to make money.

I heard that there are a lot more wooden boats in the village this year. Someone wants to copy his fishing boat last year and pull a small boat there, and the small boat salvage the fishing boat to sell goods... follow his old path... haha...

Chen Guodong came over and asked: "Brother Dong, can I follow you this year?"

"You want to follow?"

"Of course, I heard the salary is high if you join us."

"The risk is also great. You don't know how many people were wiped out by the army in the town last year? Those who survived were sentenced to some extent. With good luck, the circumstances were minor. The local border guard interceded for mercy, and a small number of them were redeemed with money."

"Well……"

"Don't just think about making money quickly. High returns mean high risks. Although the salary at home is not as high as working out, it is at least safe and the risk is low. Think about it carefully."

"OK."

"It's work, it's work."

Ye Yaodong shouted and asked them to start working quickly. He was also thinking in his mind that he would have to raise his wages again this year.

Otherwise, there was such a big incident last year. This year, many people would probably be worried about their safety and afraid to go, fearing that it would be difficult to call people.

Everyone scattered around, fishing for squids if they could. After all the squids in the surrounding sea were divided up, Xiaoxiao and Azheng's boat went out to trawl, leaving only the four of them on the island.

The tide was still high at this time, and the tide would not recede until about noon, so the water level was high and it was easy for fishing boats to sail out.

At the same time, only a little bit of the beach was exposed. Ye Yaodong couldn't catch some seafood on the beach, so he could only pry some shells off the slippery rocks hit by the waves.

However, he was reluctant to climb around on the rocks, hoping to see if he could find anything good in the cracks of the rocks.

"Hey, hey, there are big blue crabs and sword shrimps in the cracks in the rocks... Come on, get me a bucket."

"You're lucky. I just picked up a lot of conchs and threw them into the sack together with the barnacles."

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "You should also take a closer look at some of the gaps. A lot of goods are hidden in the gaps. If there is a lot of goods received today, each of you can take some back."

"The smelly fish and rotten shrimps I brought back yesterday were enough for my family to clean up. They were busy until nightfall. There were too many."

"Yeah, it's too much. Fortunately, one person can share a little. It's a waste of time and money."

"My mother said... I knew earlier, I should raise more... chickens and ducks."

"Anyway, it won't break easily after it's been boiled, dried in the sun, and broken into pieces. If you don't use it up, share it with your brothers and relatives."

Ye Yaodong said that he wouldn't need it anyway. His home is right by the beach. Every day when the tide goes out, there are a lot of stranded fish and shrimps. They are much fresher. It is enough for the chickens and ducks to go out to find food by themselves. They only need a small amount every day.

Rice bran.

"Brother Dong, don't you keep some?"

"Are you stupid? Brother Dong still lacks these stinky fish and rotten shrimps? The fresh ones are shipped to the workshop in tons and tons. These are all broken, how can you look at them."

"hehe……"

A few of them dug and pried everywhere on the island. From the time the sun just rose to when it was hanging high in the sky, each of them packed two big sacks before they felt hungry.

The tide was late today, so they went out to sea late. The fried dough sticks stall in the village was also at work. Ye Yaodong bought a lot of fried dough sticks and fried cakes and put them on the boat. At this time, he struggled to carry several large bags of spat and barnacles onto the boat.

, everyone was paralyzed.

However, I got excited when I saw the fried dough sticks and fried cakes.

Ye Yaodong also took out a large basket, which was padded with white cotton cloth at the bottom and covered with a layer of white cotton cloth on top. When he opened it, a big snow-white steamed bun was revealed. Everyone sat up quickly with joy.

"I thought we had to open the fire to cook the noodles, but Brother Dong was so thoughtful."

"It's too troublesome. There are people running these small stalls in the village. It's easier to buy some and take it on the boat. It doesn't cost much. If you buy a lot, don't be polite. Just eat it when you're hungry. After all, going into the water is also physical work."

"Great, we have fallen into a lucky nest."

The three of them each grabbed a big steamed bun, broke it open, stuffed the fried dough cake into the steamed bun and ate it. They also grabbed another fried dough stick to go with it, one bite from the left and one from the right. Their mouths were full of oil and their faces were full of oil.

Sense of happiness.

"Brother Dongdong, I...I'll give it to you, and I'll do it for you...for the rest of your life."

"Haha, I'm so happy, aren't I? I eat well and get a high salary." Chen Guodong laughed.

Another man named Lin Jianping also said: "Don't laugh at him. If I could, I would like to work for Brother Dong for the rest of my life. What a good job, no one else can envy him."

"No joke, Chen Shi also expressed my feelings, haha."

Ye Yaodong just listened and didn't say anything. No one said how long he had been working. He didn't even know how long he could work.

Anyway, as long as they are willing to stay, work hard, and he can sustain it, then he can continue to work, and the people who follow him cannot be deprived of food.

"Eat quickly. It's past 8 o'clock. Let's take a rest after eating. Let's go into the water at 9 o'clock. It's been working for a few hours. It's not bad to get so many bags. I also caught several blue crabs and flower crabs. The temperature is up now.

It’s suitable for going into the water, it’s neither hot nor cold.”

"Okay, let's try to salvage more land and cage it today."

"When the ground traps are removed and the rocks are exposed, we can dig abalone."

"Don't tell me, the suction power of the abalone is too strong and it will be difficult to buckle it."

"It doesn't matter if it takes a lot of effort to deduct it. If you still can't deduct it, you have to poke it with a stick."

After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he washed his hands casually and then went to sail the boat. After he had rested enough, he called them into the water.

Following yesterday's pattern, I went into the water and cleaned the floor cages hanging from the bottom.

Some floor cages have a whole row hanging from the bottom. If they are too long, they will cut off the rope appropriately, otherwise they will not be able to pull them up.

When they collect these cages, they also collect the squid eggs hanging on the cages.

This is what they saw with their own eyes yesterday. As long as there is something attached to a group of squid swimming from a distance, they can hang on it and lay a series of eggs.

Then the squid will die immediately after laying eggs and float on the sea surface, or be washed away on the island by waves.

Pickled cuttlefish eggs are also an excellent side dish. It's a pity that he doesn't understand industrial things. Otherwise, he would have to make cuttlefish eggs into cans.

These cuttlefish eggs were picked up for nothing. The cages collected yesterday were not even there yet.

The four of them were busy from morning to noon, during which they took an hour's rest and took a look at the squid around the branches, but there were not many.

They casually fished for an hour, but after not achieving satisfactory results, they felt that it was not enough to collect the ground cage, so they continued to go into the water and did not stop until the sun went down.
To be continued...
