Damn it, it’s just a few scallops, and he’s still worried that he won’t be able to handle it?
Ye Yaodong took out the net bag stuck on his back waist, reached forward to fish, and caught all the scallops that were escaping.
It's just that the number is a bit small, only five, which is better than nothing. It's good that he didn't leave empty-handed.
After being caught in the fishing net, they closed their mouths tightly and stopped struggling left and right. They are quite big. You can get some vermicelli to steam them when you go back in the evening.
Ye Yaodong took them out and put them into the small mesh bag tied to his waist. The tools he now tied to his waist were more complete than those of an electrician.
After reaping the harvest, he started wandering around again, and the net bag around his waist slowly started to contain more bits and pieces and miscellaneous things.
During this period, he also caught two sea cucumbers in the seaweed and two large and small conchs.
After wandering around, I unexpectedly came to the edge of the reef again, and another abalone was caught on the edge, and a conch was also attached to the gap on the left hand side.
As a result, when he reached out to break it off, he accidentally discovered that there was a small piece of white big-tailed squid hiding in the gap.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't find anything even after wearing iron shoes. It took no effort to get it!
I was underwater a few days ago and couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked. Unexpectedly, I didn't want to look for it this time. I just wanted to take advantage of the time and pick up some miscellaneous things. As long as I didn't go up with an empty net bag.
But he unexpectedly discovered that these soft threads were actually hiding in this gap.
He was very sure that it was not this gap at that time, because now the gap was at the edge of the reef, and the gap he found at that time was in the middle of the reef.
Good guy, it turned out that I was playing hide and seek with him!
No wonder he didn't realize that these guys were certainly more familiar with the seabed than he was.
He exerted his strength to suck the milk, and used the handle of the net bag to poke the conch's head carefully, and then broke off the tightly attached conch.
During this period, his eyes were always staring at the soft silk swaying leisurely in the gap. These were big money. Catching everything he could see with his naked eyes was better than dragging one or two nets.
He put the conch into the small net bag on his waist, and took out the large net bag adapted by his mother. Unfortunately, at first, he considered using it under water, so the opening left on it was not big. Although it was tightened with a rope, it was all spread out.
It can't be opened very far.
He couldn't just open his mouth and face the gap. He could only rely on his hand net to reach in and see how many fish he could catch.
The soft silk in the gap looked white and tender, and swayed from time to time with the water flow, not knowing that danger was coming.
It wasn't until Ye Yaodong put a net bag in to cover six or seven of them that some of the people around him were frightened and started to scramble, some ran out, and some hid deeper in the gaps.
It's a pity, I don't know if I can catch enough if I try it again, or how many fish I can catch.
He pressed the hand net against the reef wall and slowly moved it out bit by bit. He also stretched out his other hand on the edge, waiting for the hand net to move out to leave a hole for him to put his hand in and take it out.
One, two, three, four, five, six, all larger than the size of his hand. After stuffing them all into the net bag, he repeated his old trick.
Fortunately, the gap is not too small, and he can put his arm in. The length of his arm, plus the length of the hand-made net, is still more than two meters.
Another batch was caught in the net, and after slowly moving it out, when he took it out again, he counted and found that there were seven this time.
Very good, well done.
But when he reached in again, he only caught three more. Most of them ran away and hid inside. He felt that there was no chance of fishing anymore.
I caught a total of 16, which were okay. Each one weighed one or two pounds, and the larger one weighed more than two pounds.
He re-inserted the hand net on his back, threw the net bag on the spot, and only held on to the rope of the net bag. Taking advantage of the last little bit of time, he continued to search around.
But time was limited later, so he only moved two more conches from the reef wall and had no choice but to float up.
Before going up, he swam around for a while to take note of the surrounding scene so that he could come down next time and see if those big-tailed squids would let down their vigilance and run out again?
The two injured friends on the shore stretched their necks and kept looking at the sea, wondering why they hadn't come up for so long?
Father Ye had already calmly gone to the side to pick fish. The time had not come yet, so of course he didn't come up. If he had this free time to stretch his neck and look at the sea, he might as well sit there and do more things.
This will take a little more work, sorting all the goods, and it will be much easier when we dock.
When Ye Yaodong emerged from the water with a splash, Ye's father stood up calmly, walked to the side of the ship and pulled him up, then untied the rope tied around his waist and began to pull the goods.
"How many pounds did you pick up today?"
"No, the buoy has shifted. After the net bag is retracted later, the buoy will also be retracted. Let's drive a short distance to the edge, about 20 meters."
After saying that, he turned to Azheng and said, "Fortunately, I went down first, otherwise you wouldn't have anywhere to look. Just go over and start the boat first, and leave the other one on my boat waiting to be launched into the water."
"good."
The two looked at each other cross-eyed, but later gave in a little and climbed back onto their boat.
At this time, Father Ye also pulled the rope and said, "The position has shifted, so what are you carrying underneath? It seems to be a little heavy."
"Guess!"
Father Ye glanced at him and said nothing, so he didn't guess. He was childish. He was about to be pulled up anyway.
"It's boring. I asked you to guess, but you two just guess."
"We know nothing. Your father doesn't even know. If you don't want to guess, you still ask us to guess?"
"Well, since you all know nothing, I won't say anything."
"Cut~"
When Father Ye pulled the net bag out of the water with a splash, he was instantly happy, "A net of soft silk? This is good, this is good, this is expensive, I found so many at once, have you found that gap again?"
?”
"I saw it in the gap, but it's not the one I found before. It may have moved its position. I just found it accidentally when I was wandering down there, so I stretched my hand net into the gap to catch a few nets, but I couldn't catch them later.
.”
"Ah? There is still this thing in the cracks of the reef?"
"What the hell is this thing? I've seen a lot of lobsters before, but they are too flexible. If there is a slight fluctuation in the water flow, they will jump very hard and they are simply out of reach."
Ah Zheng said excitedly: "Then I'll keep an eye out for them when I go down, and if there are any, I'll catch a few."
"Good luck!"
"A must!"
After repositioning, the harvest will be higher if you go down again. After Azheng went down for more than ten minutes, he brought back a full net bag, which had to be pulled up by a machine.
"Damn, there are pieces of it down there, I think it can last for many days."
"Really? Then come up quickly, it's my turn." Xiaoxiao has been waiting for a long time and is eager to try. He can't wait to jump into the water directly.
"What's the rush? You have to let me go up."
"Hurry up. If you don't come up quickly, you're still soaking in the water talking nonsense."
Ah Zheng climbed up slowly, "Hey, Dongzi, I searched for a while under the water, and I didn't see any soft threads in any gaps, but I saw squid in the seaweed on the side."
"While they were laying eggs, I netted them and brought a bunch of squid eggs up. I think the flood season will only last these two days."
While he was talking, Ye Yaodong also noticed the net bag on his waist. There were only two squids and a bunch of squid eggs in it.
He helped to untie it and took it out again. The two squid were about 2 pounds and about 30 centimeters long. They had yellow patterns on their backs and stretched out their tentacles with suction cups. They were still swinging there and wrapped around his hands.
.
Next to them are two piles of transparent pod-shaped eggs, as crystal clear as small grapes, gathered together in bunches, and looking like a blooming chrysanthemum.
They are very beautiful. These fertilized eggs are about 30mm long and slightly pointed at one end.
"I saw two or three when I went into the water. Just wait, there should be more of them tomorrow."
Ah Zheng rubbed his hands back and forth happily, "The branches were really moved correctly today, so I can pick them up tomorrow and they won't fall down all day."
Xiaoxiao also said: "When we came out of the dock at night, we saw everyone moving branches to the boat. After asking, we found out that it was you who started it, so everyone followed suit, and we hurried back to move it. Sure enough,
If you work with people who are strong in shipping, you can drink soup."
"It's okay. I'm lucky. I happened to meet you. It's your turn."
"Hey, here we come."
Xiaoxiao also actively came over.
The three people took turns to enter the water without stopping. Everyone had enough rest time and was very efficient. They gained more in one day than he had done in the previous few days combined. In just two hours, there were six big piles on the boat.
The frame is full.
Ye's father did not sit still when they went into the water. After picking out the trawl goods, he drove Xiaoxiao and Azheng's boat to collect the ground pots and shrimp pots.
Anyway, the two of them stayed on their boat and took turns launching it into the water. The boat was floating there idle, not being used for a while.
With this free time, he collected the rows of shrimp pots on the ground so that when they were finished later, they could go back together to avoid wasting time in collecting them.
It was after 5 o'clock, when the sun was almost setting, that they stopped. Ye Yaodong's fishing boat was also occupied by baskets of black fish, which seemed to be much more than the fish in the trawl.
When the fishing boat docked, it also attracted the attention of the villagers. Everyone asked him where he pulled so many fish, which was more than the previous two days.
One basket after another was filled with darkness, making everyone feel itchy and curious.
"Did you find any good place? I remember that Adong also brought back a lot of Jiang Jue for a period of time last year."
"Yes, there are so many of them in an endless stream. They must have been found in some intertidal zone, right?"
"I have brought so much back today, is there any more?"
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Is this what I can tell you? Tell you, how can I dig it?"
"Haha... we are just curious and ask..."
"Oh, fortunately, I followed you last night and carried all the branches to the boat. This afternoon when we trawled the net, we actually caught a few kilograms of squid, so we quickly put the branches down. We should be able to collect the goods tomorrow...
"
"Yeah, yeah, we put it down too, luckily we brought it with us..."
"I don't know how many squid can be caught tomorrow. Will there be a lot of squid this year?"
“What’s the price of squid this year?”
Someone changed the topic, and the trend suddenly changed, and the topic everyone was talking about became the squid flood season again.
Even if you think about it with your buttocks, you can tell who has such a good place. No one can tell anyone about it, and they have to hide it.
Chapter completed!
