Ye Yaodong touched his chin and saw that it looked good. It seemed to be 30 centimeters in diameter.
"It's okay to raise it. If you tell me, you can say you caught it yourself. It's very honorable. Who can catch a sea turtle? At most, I've heard people say that they've caught it in a fishing net, but I've never heard of anyone catching it."
"Yes, yes."
"I'll pull him up first..."
"Young Master Hong is so lucky to be the first one to catch such a big turtle..." Wang Guangliang also joined in to flatter him, "We are not so lucky."
Ye Yaodong kicked him, "You don't know how to praise me?"
"Hey, we're going to Brother Dong soon. Mr. Hong has caught a turtle... you can definitely catch a bigger fish. You just go first and then first. There's not much difference!"
Ye Yaodong was instantly satisfied.
This guy has his own style! He can talk!
Everyone helped hold the turtle and put it on the deck. Although it didn't weigh much, everyone wanted to touch it.
"Why are there barnacles on this turtle's back? This fish can't be picked off. It's sucked so tightly that I can strangle it..."
"If you don't suck it harder, we will probably be separated from the turtle when we just pull it up, and we won't be able to catch it."
"That's true. Please help me. I can't take it off, and I won't be able to play with it until it dies."
Ye Yaodong asked the boatman to bring a screwdriver and pry it twice on the sucker of the antoine fish before picking the fish off the turtle.
"Hurry up and put it in the water, otherwise you will die later."
"Hang up? What do you mean to hang up?"
"It's just a hiccup. I went to see the Sea Dragon King."
"Oh." Hong Wenle quickly obeyed and threw the fish back into the water.
Anyway, each of them has already tied the other end of the rope to the boat, so they are not afraid that the fish will escape if they fail to grasp the rope.
However, as soon as the fish jumped into the water, it jumped hard a few times, but it did not dive directly into the water, but turned around and clung to the fishing boat?
Ah? It's attached to the fishing boat?
Hong Wenle leaned half of his body out of the fishing boat. Seeing that Ye Yaodong was almost scared to death, he quickly grabbed his clothes and pulled him back.
"What are you doing? Do you think your life is too long?"
He did not dislike Ye Yaodong's rudeness, and quickly pointed to the water and said: "No, that fish is sucked on the fishing boat..."
Everyone ran to the side of the boat, lay down and looked out, and they were really sucked into the boat.
"Ah! It really is."
"Really, really, really..."
"This fish is really lazy. You can't count on turtles, so you can count on boats." A Ming clicked his tongue and said curiously.
"It's normal. I'll poke it with a stick and get it off the boat."
Taking people's money, working with people to eliminate disasters, and the service must be in place. Ye Yaodong is quite proactive in solving problems if they arise.
However, Hong Wenle felt that the fish was somewhat interesting, so he planned to do it by himself, took the stick and poked it himself, but he poked it hard a few times, and the fish died immediately, and his eyes were smashed to pieces by him.
As soon as it fell off the fishing boat, it was floating on the sea with its belly turned white.
Ye Yaodong was speechless when he saw it, so he said to let him do it, and he had to do it himself if his hands were itchy. This time it was better, and he just caught one and died.
Wang Guangliang was a bit of a loser. When he saw Hong Wenle frowning, he immediately stepped forward and said: "It's okay, it's okay. This is also an accident. I'll give mine to Mr. Hong. Anyway, I didn't catch any. It doesn't matter. The dead one counts."
mine."
Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are very clever. Young Master Hong will just take his. He hasn't caught it anyway, so he just uses it to replenish it. Anyway, we are just having fun, but there is no luck. How can we be happy?"
"
"Okay, you follower is smart enough. Go back later and ask Wang Maoquan to send a red envelope to your two followers."
"Thank you, Master Hong. I wish you good luck and many harvests!"
"Thank you thank you thank you thank you..."
"No need to thank you. You thank me endlessly. Just say two words."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh. Chen Shi wanted to thank him endlessly, but he just stuttered and couldn't stop, but he looked a little better than before.
Wang Guangliang also nudged Chen Shi with his knuckles and elbows, and then interrupted him to thank him endlessly.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if someone asked him not to thank him and he still thanked him. He had hidden it quite well and never said anything, never leaking the truth.
Although it doesn't matter if the bottom line is leaked, at least it doesn't make people laugh.
"I'll get you some fish."
He quickly picked up the anchovy he had been assigned and hurriedly sent it over.
"I'll put the fish in the water first, pinch a rope, and you can tie the other end of the rope for me."
"Okay."
When Ye Yaodong saw that fishing had resumed, he called Wang Guangliang to scrape the barnacles off the turtle.
"Anyway, you don't have any fish now, so you have nothing to do. Scrape the turtle clean to avoid so many barnacles from scratching on it. It will also feel uncomfortable and not good-looking. Scrape it nicely and clean it, so that it can be taken back.
Raise it up."
Hong Wenle quickly agreed, "Yes, please help clean it up. Comrade Ye Yaodong brought you right. At least there is someone to help with the work. I will send you a double red envelope later."
"Okay! If you need anything, Mr. Hong, just call me." Wang Guangliang responded louder, very happy.
I originally thought that I would come over and play with my head today, but I didn't expect that the young master is so generous.
Ye Yaodong also felt that if he brought them here correctly, he would be able to earn some money and increase his income.
Otherwise, when they were at home, they would fight cocks, walk dogs, fish and catch shrimps, and never help with any serious work.
"Some of the barnacles on it are oyster spats. When you pry them off, remember to pry them open and take a small bowl to put them in, so as not to waste them."
"Okay Brother Dong, I know that Young Master Hong can make a bowl of fried oysters when he takes it back."
"Then we have to catch a few more to make a bowl of fried oysters."
"Young Master Hong, please work hard."
Hong Wenle smiled and said: "Forget it, one is enough. I want to catch big fish."
"Turtles are also good, live longer!"
After everyone said a few words, they took their places again.
However, I don’t know why, but no one made any movement at all.
Even after the rope was stretched straight and could no longer be lowered, I thought of bringing it up again to have a look, but in the end there was only the angoit and nothing for it to climb on.
Ye Yaodong was also puzzled for a moment and shouted: "Is there no big fish around here? The rope is only so long in total, and those few scorpions can't run very far..."
Just when he finished speaking, the feeling of the rope in his hand made him immediately shocked and excited, "Yes, yes~ It's finally my turn..."
"Yes? Whose?" Hong Wenle joked.
Listening to his familiar tone, Ye Yaodong naturally felt that their relationship was getting closer, and he winked at him without any burden.
"What do you think?"
Hong Wenle trembled all over, suddenly feeling that he was being mean and making himself uncomfortable, and glanced at him with disgust.
"nausea!"
Ye Yaodong's hand didn't stop taking up the thread.
However, when his big fish just emerged from the water, there was another movement from Hong Wenle next door, and he screamed excitedly again.
His friend Jiang Chengming was unhappy and ran over and shouted: "You have caught all the shitty luck in riding a horse. No, I will change the place to join you. Your place must be a Feng Shui treasure."
"Tch, I'm not lucky."
"I can catch it when I find a golden fishing spot."
The fishing line in Ye Yaodong's hand was struggling and shaking violently, but he held it tightly and was surprised when he saw the fish floating on the water.
"Grass, is it so big?"
"What kind of fish is it? The two beards are quite long, very similar to a catfish."
"This is a catfish from the sea, a sea catfish. This one is really big. It should weigh twenty or thirty pounds. It's rare to find such a big one. Usually it doesn't weigh a pound. The biggest one I've ever seen only weighs four pounds."
"
If there were no hormones now, he would suspect that the fish grew up taking hormones or drinking nuclear wastewater.
As he said this, he happily collected the fish. The short video did not deceive him. Fishing for squid is indeed effective and feasible.
This catfish probably couldn't find any big fish like sharks or dolphins that it could attract, so it wandered around for a while before slowly and reluctantly hitching a ride on the sea catfish.
"You fish belly is so bulging."
"It has fish roe, good guy. For such a big sea catfish, the fish roe in its belly is also precious. It is better than mullet roe and comparable to caviar."
The dorsal and pectoral fins of sea catfish both have hard poisonous spines with reverse hooks. Ye Yaodong carefully held the two fish that were still shaking and struggling, trying not to let his hands touch the poisonous spines.
After looking around for a while, he put it into the bucket, picked the antoas off from the top, and threw them back into the sea again.
I felt relieved when I watched it swim and disappear, and the fishing line on the side kept stretching into the water.
"You also know about caviar?"
Hong Wenle was surprised. Caviar was relatively popular abroad, and China had just lifted out of poverty. He actually knew about caviar?
"I heard from the leader that sturgeon caviar is the best."
Shields come at random.
"Then I don't know. The roe of this catfish is so delicious?"
"It's yellow, the oldest one. I guess the roe in this one is as good as a potato. Do you want to try it? I'll give it to you?"
"Forget it, everyone depends on their abilities. If I take yours again, wouldn't that be cheating? Just fish for now, I will definitely be able to catch it later."
"Then when you can't catch any more, you can ask me to buy it!"
Hong Wenle pulled back half of the rope, turned his head and glared at him, "Didn't you say you would give it to me just now? Now you have turned around and said you are selling it?"
"Yes, the price has been raised. I just said I would give it to you, but you don't want it. Now I can only buy it. If you can't catch it, remember to say hello and quote you a friendly price." Ye Yaodong said jokingly.
After several contacts and interactions, he felt that the eldest young master was quite arrogant, would not look down on others, and was easy to talk to. He had to take things a step further and became more casual, and was able to joke with less scruples.
Hong Wenle was not angry, and even said with disdain: "Crow's Mouth, look at my weight, it must be more than 20 pounds, with a bulging belly...grass, why is it a turtle again?"
He pulled the rope hard, preparing to open the blind box, but found that it was a turtle again, and it was dragged up with its belly facing up and all four legs in the air.
"You're lucky, it's another big turtle."
"I want to catch big fish!"
"Turtles are also big fish."
"Well, we can only keep the two of us together."
"Maybe I can lay some turtle eggs for you by then, which will strengthen your yang and nourish your kidneys."
Ye Yaodong licked his tongue, missing the taste of turtle eggs a little bit. In fact, it wasn't that delicious, it just had a bonus effect.
Hong Wenle's eyes lit up when he told him, "Can you still lay turtle eggs?"
"Yes, but I don't know if they will lay eggs if they are raised."
"It must be raised. It depends on me. It must be raised until it lays eggs." He looked at the big turtle he had just pulled up with joy. "Then I have to catch a few more and raise them."
"I wish you good luck."
"This one's back is quite clean, with no barnacles."
"It means that it usually moves quickly and is not entangled by the plankton in the sea."
Ye Yaodong was very moved when he saw the two big turtles, and he wanted to raise them, but he didn't have the conditions. The turtles had to be raised in seawater. It would be easier if he didn't have turtles. Anyway, he already had a tortoise at home.
That tortoise is also very tenacious. He has been playing with the three little ones at home for two years, and it is still alive and well.
"You've all caught it, now it's my turn, right? Mad, you can't let me go home empty-handed?"
Jiang Chengming stretched his neck and looked at it, feeling a little envious. He couldn't catch any big fish or turtles, just one or two of whatever he wanted.
"I'll let you catch a slipper later!"
"Ah bah!"
"Ah, it's coming, it's coming..." Ye Yaodong had just put down the squid when he felt the thread in his hand vibrating faster.
It was obviously a fish that had just been possessed, because it had an extra burden on its body and was struggling fiercely. The vibrations coming from its hands were obviously different.
"Hit again?"
Everyone craned their necks to watch.
Ye Yaodong pulled the thread, ignoring the struggling feeling in the sea, and pulled the nylon thread with all his strength.
Fortunately, this angoid fish had great adsorption force. The dorsal fin on its body was pulled, but it did not let go. In the spirit of wanting to die together, the two fish were pulled up again after a while.
"You're another sea catfish!"
"Hey, my belly is still bulging, and there are a lot of fish roe in it. I'm lucky today!"
Ye Yaodong was delighted. He thought he might have encountered a school of catfish that came out to the sea to lay eggs. The two fish he caught had bulging bellies.
Sea catfish, also known as Chinese sea catfish, like to move in muddy bottom sea areas with slow currents. When they want to lay eggs, they will swim from the deep sea to the coast. I guess they bumped into them today.
They have a peculiar feature. I heard that foreign fishermen accidentally discovered that the dried skull of sea catfish resembled the image of the crucifixion of Jesus. Therefore, people in some places regarded sea catfish as a "sacred fish", and the skull of sea catfish
It is used as an amulet to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
Some antique shops sell colorful sea catfish skulls, and the prices are quite high.
However, he believes in Mazu and is a loyal believer in Mazu. It would be nice to hear this kind of anecdote fresh.
"Is the fish roe in its belly really delicious?"
"I heard that medium rare tastes the best. Each piece is like a gold coin. You can taste the taste of the sea in one bite."
"You haven't eaten it?"
"No, I'll give it a try when I get back. Do you want one? I'll sell you one at a high price."
Hong Wenle's eyes widened again, "Why did you sell it to me at a high price again? You said it was a friendly price before."
"Then I said I would give it to you earlier, but don't you want it? I'm going to raise the price from the ground up, one price at a time. When you ask again later, it will be sold to you at a sky-high price."
"Fuck, you are so treacherous. It would be a pity not to do business."
"hey-hey."
A Ming also said in a funny way: "Ale, just wait, wait until I catch it, and buy it from me at a sky-high price."
"Go away, I think you have to go back empty."
"That's not possible. You'll see me show off my power later."
Hong Wenle was about to hit him, but he felt that the thread on his hand was shaking again, "Hey...it seems to be happening again..."
"You two, what kind of shitty luck do you two have? Take turns..."
"This is called good luck."
Not long after he finished speaking, when everyone wanted to see what he had caught, another sea turtle surfaced.
But this time the turtle was a little special. When it was pulled up, a large jellyfish also came up with it.
"Jellyfish?"
"What's this called? Killing two birds with one stone?"
"It's really like killing two birds with one stone. The antoas suck the turtles, and the turtles suck the jellyfish."
“So turtles eat jellyfish?”
Except for Ye Yaodong, the other four people were all novices. They were lying on the edge of the boat with surprised faces.
This turtle was holding the jellyfish tightly in its mouth. It turned around in confusion and looked around. It was clearly eating, but why did it suddenly keep moving backwards and be pulled to the surface of the sea?
Its eating action was also interrupted.
Hong Wenle looked at the novelty and did not rush to pull it up. After the turtle looked around, he planned to eat the jellyfish in his mouth first.
Right under everyone's noses, the turtle was biting and biting like it was eating noodles, then sucking it in like a jellyfish.
Hong Wenle looked very curious. This was the first time he saw a turtle eating. "Why do I feel like it is eating jelly?"
Jiang Chengming echoed, "I think so too."
"What is this? When I was fishing for jellyfish in Zhejiang Province last year, the jellyfish groups on the sea were followed by sea turtles that were eating them. It was so spectacular at first glance..."
"Really? Your life is quite exciting..."
A well-fed man does not know that a hungry man is hungry!
Ye Yaodong complained in his heart, "I am forced by life. Brother, if I have money, I still work as a fisherman. Every day, I come and go in the wind and rain, and I rely on the sky to make a living. Is this called wonderful?"
Hong Wenle also felt that what he said was a little ignorant of the sufferings of the world, "That's true, but how are you? Those fishermen all have faces full of vicissitudes of life. You don't look like a fisherman. You are better than Jiang Cheng Mingdu."
"Holy shit, can you please stop comparing me to someone else?"
Ye Yaodong touched his cheek, "I also feel that it would be a pity not to eat soft rice. Do you have any rich women you can recommend?"
The two rich young men who were still staring at each other were dumbfounded. Is there anyone so confident that they want to eat soft rice?
"Hey, I seem to be stocking up on goods again. Mad, he's too strong. Even if you want to eat soft rice, you won't be able to do it."
The two of them instantly became speechless again.
Why is this person so shameless?
Wang Guangliang suddenly admired Ye Yaodong even more. He spoke so freely in front of two rich people, showed his true temperament, said what he wanted to say, and didn't make people annoying. It was amazing.
But when Ye Yaodong knew his thoughts afterwards, he just wanted to complain.
He doesn't expect to get much benefit from them. If there is any benefit, he will continue it. It doesn't matter if they don't have it. There is no need to act like a shameless bitch and try to please them.
This may be counterproductive and make people feel that they have no spine at all.
Just say a few words appropriately to make people happy and liven up the atmosphere.
Also, the one who rides the horse is also a rich person now, but he can't spend it however he wants.
That’s all!
Ye Yaodong suddenly felt a little bit about the hardships faced by the rich generation in starting a business.
"Here we go, it's sea catfish again! What's going on today? We take turns loading the fish, but you specialize in fishing for turtles and I specialize in fishing for catfish."
He saw the two fish he had just pulled up on top of each other on the water, and they looked so familiar. He had seen the same scene three times while fishing.
"Did one of you poke the catfish nest, and the other one poked the turtle nest?" Jiang Chengming said in surprise.
Hong Wenle was also happy, "It's interesting!"
"It's so interesting. I'm laughing so hard. You can still fish like this? One after another!"
Ye Yaodong complained, but he still carefully avoided the hard stings on its dorsal and pectoral fins, separated the two inseparable fish, and allowed the anio to continue returning to the sea.
But this time, although the belly of this one is still bulging, it is not as big as the previous two.
"When will it be my turn? Things are changing, so why should it be my turn?" Jiang Chengming said somewhat depressed.
"Just wait and see me catch another turtle."
"Come on, I don't believe what you catch again is still a turtle."
"A gamble?"
"don't want!"
Hong Wenle laughed at his friend, "Are you no longer confident? Otherwise, let's bet on whether you can catch fish?"
"Okay, let's bet on this... Huh? My rope won't move?" He was surprised and tried to pull it quickly, but there was no strength to struggle.
There was always movement in front of me. Even though the rope was only so long, it would still move when it was stretched straight.
"Pull it up and try it."
He tried to reel in the line again, but he couldn't wait and reeled in the line twice before, and both times were empty except for the anchovy.
However, after he collected it, he would rather not collect it.
As soon as the rope was pulled out of the water, everyone saw the angoit fish attached to a hot water bottle. Jiang Chengming's face turned dark instantly.
"Hahaha, thermos! You actually caught a thermos, hahahaha..."
Hong Wenle laughed rudely.
"Damn, there's all kinds of rubbish in the sea."
He held up the line depressedly and threw the fish and the thermos bottle on the sea surface a few times to vent his anger, without thinking of reeling them in.
However, Ye Yaodong turned around and helped him pull up the line. He took off the fish and threw it back into the sea, while holding the thermos bottle in his hand.
"A Liang, bring me a thin stick."
"OK."
Hong Wenle smiled and said doubtfully: "Why are you still holding the water bottle? Throw it back into the sea."
"Take a look, what if you can get something out?"
"What can you take out? Can you also take out a gold ring and a gold bracelet?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
"You thought it was the vase on TV. The gold ring and bracelet were secretly hidden in the vase and you fished it out of the sea."
"Eh? You will think about it!"
Jiang Chengming said disgustedly: "He has watched too many TV movies."
Ye Yaodong took a long stick and stirred it in the thermos. He really felt something foreign.
He handed it to Jiang Chengming, "Try it."
Jiang Chengming took it doubtfully and imitated his movements to try it out. His eyes lit up, "Damn it, it's okay, there's something inside!"
"What's there?" Hong Wenle asked impatiently.
"I don't know, I can't take it out."
"Smash it."
"Okay, look at me."
He held the hot water bottle high. The outer plastic layer was actually very fragile. If he smashed it, the plastic shell and the glass liner inside were shattered into pieces.
But there were a bunch of little white Zhangs who had lost their homes crawling on the ground. Seeing Jiang Chengming, his eyes widened for a moment, and he cursed a few times in surprise.
"Is this all okay? Shit, it's a good thing I didn't just throw the water bottle back into the sea. I didn't expect that there was something inside it? Comrade Ye Yaodong, how did you know there would be something inside?"
Ye Yaodong pretended to be inscrutable, "Because octopuses like to dig into bottles and cans, so I thought of trying it to see if there were any inside. I didn't expect that after you smashed it, there was actually a nest inside."
"It seems that all the luck you didn't catch before is here. One catch of yours is worth our five, six, seven or eight catches, one nest at a time. Quickly count how many fish are here."
Jiang Chengming was also proud. He immediately turned the tables and turned from a disadvantage to an advantage. However, he squatted down and looked at it for a long time. His hands stretched and shrank, and after grabbing one, he quickly threw it away and stood up.
Take two steps back.
"Ah... I don't dare to scratch this damn thing. It's sticky on my hands and it's still moving around."
"Come on, come on, Comrade Ye Yaodong, help me catch it and put it in a bucket."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
So useless...
"Okay."
He counted them as he caught them, and there were quite a few of them, ranging in size from big to small, and there were actually seven of them.
"Seven, hey, I didn't expect that I could come back. Although they are small, I have already won in terms of numbers."
"You can count yourself as a winner? I can crush you octopuses with a turtle."
"Cut it, it can't be based on size. It was said before that the competition was about who caught more, so of course it will be based on quantity."
Jiang Chengming was so proud that he felt that he was too strong. He could just catch a hot water bottle and smash out a nest of little white seals to turn defeat into victory. It turned out that he was the real son of destiny!
"It's not dark yet. Only when we go back can we calculate who caught more and who caught less. Isn't there another person at the bottom who didn't catch anyone?"
Chen Shi was called by name, but he smiled innocently and said nothing. He was here to make up the numbers anyway, and it was good that Brother Dong could bring him along to make extra money. He also knew that he would easily annoy people when he spoke, so he tried his best to act as a mute.
"Okay, okay, keep comparing. Anyway, I'm already far ahead."
"The little brat..." Hong Wenle was unwilling to admit defeat and muttered in disgust.
It is true that the turtles he catches are all about the size of a small washbasin, and although the number of those small white turtles is large, they are only as large as two hands together.
It can't even compare to the size of a sea turtle, but it wins in terms of numbers. Who can be convinced?
"Hehe, let me show you how powerful I am. What I can catch at one time is more than the three of you combined."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Can Chen Shi count?
"Shut up, you talk so much nonsense that it scares away my turtles."
Hong Wenle felt disgusted for a moment, then returned to his position and prepared to work hard.
Jiang Chengming also took his place happily.
Next, Ye Yaodong and Hong Wenle no longer had a turtle nest or a catfish nest.
They didn’t know if all the big fish nearby had run away, and it was difficult for anyone to get fish. After waiting for half an hour, no one caught anything, so they reluctantly asked the boatman to find another fishing spot.
Everyone has just tasted the fun and is getting excited.
Chapter completed!
