Chapter 255 Ye Huimei’s Little Red Hand
Today, the goods in the sticky net are basically all toad fish. I collected a basket of about fifteen or six fish. There are also 3-4 flatfish and manta rays each. The big one is still the small green dragon, which weighs about a pound.
Ye Yaodong went barefoot and drove the boat to the sea area for longline fishing.
After collecting the buoy and rock sinking rope, he only collected a few hooks when he heard a constant shouting in his ears.
"Third brother, let me do it?"
"Wow, what kind of fish is this? It's so big... Third brother... let me try it?"
"Ah, that's the yellowfin seabream, I saw its golden fins."
"Tiger spots...tiger spots...ah ah, third brother, you are so powerful, let me take some of them, too? Third brother..."
Ye Yaodong had a headache listening to the constant chirping in his ears, "Can you be quiet for a moment? Why didn't I know you could scream like this?"
As he talked, he unhooked the four-pound tiger spot from the hook. The fish kept swaying its tail and slapped his arm several times, and he threw it directly into the bucket of water.
This is the treatment of valuable live fish, ordinary fish only deserve to stay in the basket.
"Aren't I excited? Just pull the hook and you'll find everything. It's amazing. You even caught such a big grouper. Third brother, you are so amazing. Why didn't I know you were so amazing before?"
It feels good to have an extra little fan girl, but it is also quite noisy...
He kept talking, he didn't know that his little sister was so eloquent and as excited as his elder son.
"Come on, come on, keep going, let me try too?" She said and stretched out her hand.
Ye Yaodong patted the back of her hand and glared at her, "Come on, go ahead. If you encounter a big fish later, I will pull you and drag you into the sea. Let's see who goes down to save you."
Ye Huimei touched the back of her hand that had been slapped red, and stared back not to be outdone, "How could I be pulled into the sea even though I'm such a big person? And I don't think the fish you pulled up is that big."
Ye Yaodong glanced at her sideways, "That's because you didn't see it, don't make trouble, just stay there and watch from the side."
Ye Mu also stretched her head and looked at it, "Will there be big fish? How big? Otherwise, let me do it, and you can go and warm yourself by the fire. It's very cold without wearing pants."
"Yes, Third Brother, I can see goosebumps appearing on your legs."
"Who told you to look at it? Can you just look at a man's legs?"
"Tch~ It's not like I haven't seen it before. I often see you taking a shower at the back door in the summer."
Ye Yaodong glanced at her, but felt that his hand was being pulled a bit fiercely, and the corners of his mouth raised, "Isn't this coming?"
"What?"
"Show you the big fish."
He kept reeling in the line with his hand, and paused from time to time to engage with the fish in the sea. After letting it go, he quickly reeled in the line again.
Others were also looking at the sea, and saw ripples on the sea. After a while, a big gray figure appeared under the water.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's really big, what kind of fish is this?" Ye Huimei, a little fan girl, shouted excitedly when she saw the figure appearing on the surface of the water.
"It's a shark!" She saw the wide, convex mouth emerging from the water and the shark fins on its back.
Mother Ye also said happily: "This shark is quite big."
Father Ye also walked over and took a look curiously, "What kind of shark is this?"
There are various types of sharks in the sea, and most people don't recognize them all, but Ye Yaodong happens to know them.
"This is a mako shark. I'll pull it up first."
He struggled with the shark for a while, and when it stopped struggling, he slowly pulled it to the side of the ship, lifted it up, and threw it onto the deck.
After playing for a long time, his hands were a little sore. After just two squeezes, Ye Huimei came up to him with a smile and squeezed his arm, and smiled at him in a flattering way.
"Are you tired, Third Brother? I'll help you later!"
Ye Yaodong smiled and flicked her forehead, "I want to work so much, I'll do it for you later, go ahead, this one is a baby shark, not yet an adult."
"You're not even an adult yet, you're already so big..."
Mother Ye looked at the shark still bouncing around on the deck and exclaimed: "My darling, such a big shark is not yet an adult, so how big will this one be if it becomes an adult? Is it going to eat people?"
"
"It's not about eating people. Most fish won't attack people unless you smell of blood."
Ye Yaodong made a visual inspection and found that the mako shark still jumping on the deck was about 1.56 meters tall, which was still a little short of an adult fish.
This kind of shark will swim in the sea, sometimes swimming to coastal and offshore continental shelf and island shelf waters.
Its body is spindle-shaped, its back is blue-gray, its mouth and abdomen are light to white, its trunk is thicker, and its head and tail gradually become smaller and smaller.
There are two dorsal fins, the first dorsal fin is medium and large, the second dorsal fin is small, it also has pectoral fins and caudal fins.
The famous shark fin is the filamentous cartilage in the shark's fin. It is made from the dried fins of the shark's chest, abdomen, tail, etc. It is shaped a bit like a vermicelli, but it is crisper and tastes better than vermicelli.
When fried, it actually looks more like sweet potato vermicelli...
It's just that it's not as long as sweet potato vermicelli, it's shorter and has pointed ends.
Unsavvy people may think of fried shark fin as fried sweet potato vermicelli when eating it for the first time... (The author once ate fried shark fin and thought it was sweet potato vermicelli...)
Ye Yaodong waited until it stopped struggling, then went up and knocked it unconscious with a stick. Looking at the little girl in front of him and behind him, he turned around and said, "I'm going to do your work. Don't you want to help reel in the line?"
"Ah, okay, I'll do it, I'll do it..." She turned around happily and left immediately.
"Be careful. If you feel the pulling force on your hands is relatively strong, call someone if it is severe."
"knew."
After Ye Yaodong killed the shark, he went over to look at her, but heard her exclamation.
"Ah... big yellow croaker? It doesn't seem like..."
Ye Huimei pulled up the line, held the fish in her hands and looked through it. It felt like it was a large yellow croaker, but it didn't feel like it was one.
"Dad, third brother, why do I feel like this is a large yellow croaker? And the color seems wrong."
Everyone stretched their heads to take a look, and Father Ye and Ye Yaodong said in unison: "It's a large yellow croaker."
"Holy shit, you're lucky! This big yellow croaker weighs more than a pound."
"But the color is wrong. Isn't the large yellow croaker golden? This color is a bit white."
Ye Yaodong explained: "The color of large yellow croaker during the day is a bit white and light yellow, a bit lighter. Only those caught at night will turn golden yellow."
"Like this? So magical?"
"Well, it's amazing! I caught one as soon as I started."
Ye Huimei suddenly opened her mouth, "That's fine, I just said let me do it, look!"
Ye Yaodong gave her a thumbs up, then helped to remove the hook and put the thread into the basket, "Go on, bring in a few more threads."
"hey-hey……"
She was very busy with her work, and when she encountered a larger fish that was difficult to pull, Ye Yaodong would help her.
Because we set it out at night and have only caught the first wave now, there are quite few empty bait hooks, and even the worst ones will catch a minnow or toad fish. Even the black mullet caught today was relatively small.
After the first yellow croaker was brought in, Ye Huimei received several good ones one after another. She also received one yellow croaker, about 2 kilograms, which made her happy from ear to ear.
Ye Yaodong threw the yellow patch into the bucket to keep company with the tiger stripe from before.
Then, when she received the last row, she unexpectedly hit another hook, which was very heavy. She was so excited that she shouted directly, "Third brother, come on, come on, there is a big fish, I pulled it and it was heavy."
Ye Yaodong heard this and quickly came to help.
"Third brother, do you think it will be another shark?"
"Who knows, there was an earthquake in the sea two days ago, and the sea surface rolled for two days. I don't know how many fish were caught in it. Today, the trawler will make a fortune."
The fishing line was shortened little by little, and the face of the big fish in the sea was revealed, directly revealing the answer.
"Giant Cobia!"
"Ah? Haha...I'm so awesome...this fish is so big..."
Ye Yaodong was also very happy, "Well, that's great!"
"This fish is not small. It's quite powerful. I caught a few good fish." Father Ye also smiled and praised her.
"Hey, third brother, come up quickly."
Ye Yaodong pulled it for a long time. The fish was extremely ferocious. It struggled as hard as the mako shark. His arms and waist were sore before he pulled it up. The fish hook was not untied before he dropped it.
Go out on the deck and let it bounce around for a while.
This fish is also elongated, with a long and slender body. The vertical bands of secondary colors on the body surface are very eye-catching. The pectoral fins are light brown, and the upper edges of the pelvic fins and caudal fins are gray-white. It is known as the "little warship" in the sea.
A few cobia not only have distinctive body colors, but also have neatly arranged luminous points, which look like the metal buttons on military officers' uniforms. These luminous points are dazzling and the number is astonishing, as many as 300.
Therefore, cobia has the skill of "luminescence". However, they rarely use their own light for illumination. Only during the mating season will cobia display its "cobia" style and shine brightly.
"This one weighs almost 30 pounds. Huimei is doing great today!"
"That's... I asked you to wind up the line for me earlier, and you're still not happy?" Ye Huimei said proudly.
Father Ye smiled and said, "It's the right time to take you out to sea today."
"Fortunately, I didn't bring my aunt with me. You see how useful I am. Third brother was not happy yesterday. Now you know how useful I am, okay?"
"After complimenting you a few times, you still go to heaven?"
Ye's mother also praised her, "She is someone who can go to sea."
Ye Huimei suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Her mother really didn't know how to praise others.
"Mom, you should praise me for being so awesome."
"Yes, yes, then go quickly, there isn't much left, finish collecting."
"Yeah."
Today she really experienced what it means to be soft when collecting fish. The longline has a series of hooks hanging there, which is equivalent to the fish lining up waiting to land.
