Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 224 Ugly Strange Fish
Not everyone agrees with them, there are people who walk along the shore, but more people stay to see the situation.

Who would be willing to give up wasted money? Picking up a sack would be enough for a day's wages. It was only a short while in the morning, and everyone picked up half a bag, let alone yesterday.

Although Mother Ye got a tiger spot by fishing in troubled waters, she didn't want to go down and squeeze with so many people. Maybe there would be another fight later on. It's already a good deal, so don't join in the fun. She was also wet from the splash of water. up.

"Then let's sell the goods, go back, and come out to watch the fun after taking a shower."

Ah Guang whispered to Ye Huimei: "I'll take you back to soak your feet, you'll be out later, I'll accompany you out to watch the fun, don't go down if you pick it up. I told you in the morning, don't go into the water, you won't listen ..."

"I didn't know there was going to be chaos."

Ye Huimei also got scared and didn't want to go down to pick it up anymore.

"Let's go, I'll keep half of the bag in my hand to take it back to dry, and weigh the one in your hand, and by the way, the grouper will also be sold."

After Father Ye spoke, they all went to the purchase point.No one sells now, and they don't need to wait, they just walk out after the weighing.

When I came out, I saw that both the boss and the second child were still standing still, still watching, so I just said, let’s take a look first...

Then leave them alone, not children.

Ye Yaodong waited for his parents to leave, and then stood on the shore for a while. Those young people who were fighting on the water were finally tired from fighting. They were all wet, with bruised noses and swollen faces, and were pulled away by familiar relatives and friends. Climb ashore.

The people who were watching on the shore went into the water again...

Sister-in-law Ye and Second-sister-in-law Ye also dragged their men to continue...

They all think very well, if there is another conflict, they just climbed ashore and walked quickly, it would be a pity not to pick up the money dropped in the sky, three or four starfish would be worth two cents.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about them, he planned to go out to sea to collect the cages. Looking at what everyone harvested this morning, there must be a lot of starfish on the bottom of the sea, so he can collect another wave.

He drove the boat away from the shore and headed for the distant sea. From time to time, he encountered some small boats working on the road, or on the way back, he could see that the boats were full of starfish, and everyone on board was beaming.

Are you happy?

You don't need to go into the water at the pier to fight with a group of people, and you can easily harvest most of the boat.

He drove to the sea area where he put his ground cage, and he just collected a wave last night, and only a few hours later, as soon as his ground cage was pulled up, the fish collection bag under it was full of starfish again.

After scooping up all the ground cages, he once again harvested half a boatload of starfish, and a little bit of small fish, but there were no bigger ones, after all, he just collected them last night.

After putting the ground cage back into the sea again, he returned directly. It seemed that there were no waves on the sea today, and it was estimated that he should be able to go out to sea at night.

After the fishing boat returned to the pier again, he took the sack and slowly loaded the boat by himself, taking a look at the excitement not far away.

Only two or three hours had passed, and there was another conflict in the water.

But this time there were a lot fewer people, and the opportunity was not good, and there were quite a few people who went ashore. Most of the people in the water were helping to fight...

The few fishing boats that just came back beside him also watched with gusto.

Today the pier is noisy.

After Ye Yaodong took all the starfish to the scale, he patted his ass and left, regardless of whether the shore was still crowded with people.

It's already past the time for eating. If these people don't eat, he wants to eat.

After he went back, Lin Xiuqing was relieved, "If you don't come back, I'm planning to go out and look for it."

"It's a good thing you didn't go, the pier was crowded with people."

He told Lin Xiuqing about the continuous conflicts in the morning, and she frowned, "You didn't go into the water, did you?"

"No, I'll just watch the excitement on the shore,"

She couldn't help but rejoice, "It's a good thing you woke up late in the morning and didn't go out. There are so many people, and a slight collision will easily cause conflicts."

"Ah."

He didn't plan to go out to pick it up today, but yesterday he picked it up all day, and his waist was about to break, so it's better to close the cage net, it's easy and fast.

"The starfish in the ground cage just sold another 510 catties, 10 yuan and 2 cents. I guess we can get another wave tomorrow."

She put away the list with a smile, "This is good, so you don't have to fight with a bunch of people."

"Now there are no waves on the sea. I should go to sea at night."

"Well, I see."

After Ye Yaodong ate a bunch of kidney-supplementing vegetables, he went to take a nap to recuperate and replenish his sleep.

When he woke up in the middle of the afternoon and took two puffs of cigarettes at the station door, he saw the four adults next door come back as if they were drowned.

He was also convinced, and he was able to persist until now. It seemed that he had walked in the water for a while.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, it seems that they made a lot of money today?"

"Uh... It's okay, there are too many people today, so I sold it for 6 yuan..." Before the second brother could finish speaking, he was elbowed by the second sister-in-law Ye, stared at him, and then was pushed towards the house. to go.

Ye Yaodong pursed his mouth, cut~ if you don't say it, don't say it~

I made an agreement with Father Ye in advance to go out to sea at around three o'clock at night, and he would wait outside the pier on time when he arrived.

Since the raft hook was lost in the sea for several days, and there were waves these days, he was not sure whether he could find it. He didn't prepare bait in advance tonight, and planned to focus on trawling today.

After fueling up the diesel, they set off straight away as soon as Father Ye came.

One autumn rain and one cold, the temperature has obviously dropped several degrees in the past few days, the sea is colder than the land, and the cold wind brought by the boat during the driving process is biting, and it still feels a little damp and cold.

He had just had his cropped hair cut in the evening, and now he felt his head was bare, and it was extremely cold. He was walking against the wind, and the wind was pouring in from the hat, making it chilly.

I don't know whether his father's forehead moved on the hairline or not.

"What are you looking at?" Father Ye felt his gaze, touched his forehead, a little puzzled.

"No, it feels quite cold at sea."

"Sail the boat carefully, don't look left and right, and be careful of hitting the rocks."

"understood."

He identified the direction and moved forward at a constant speed in the dark. After driving for more than an hour and reaching the approximate target sea area, he slowed down and started searching on the sea.

Father Ye also took a flashlight and took photos everywhere on the beach. It was too far from the shore, so it was not suitable to leave it overnight.

The sea area is so wide, even if you know the approximate location, it is not so easy to find a buoy, and there is no guarantee when the wind will blow, and the buoy will be easily washed away by the waves.

The father and son drove the boat on the sea for a long time, but they didn't see it in the surrounding area, and they didn't know if they had deviated.

Ye Yaodong was a little depressed, "Don't waste time, now it's dark and the light is not good, let's search while trawling the net."

"Alright, it's easier to find it at dawn. I'll look around while trawling the net. I'll go and release the net."

Good thing they can still trawl.

He turned slowly in the surrounding waters at 3-5 nautical miles per hour, and he drove for a long time when the sky was bright. It was not until seven o'clock that he pulled up the first net.

I don’t know if it’s because of the low temperature recently, the fish are not active, and they don’t often look for food. Although there are waves these days, there are not many fish caught on the first net. The most is the Pipi shrimp, which weighs [-] kg look.

But at this time the Pippi shrimp was not very fat, Ye Yaodong poured out the goods and picked a few, after looking at it, he could only say that it was very average, although it was not empty, but the meat was not very full, let alone the red paste , and most of them are extremely small.

"Father, it's cold, the fish are not active, they all sink to the bottom, it's hard to catch."

"Well, it's cold in winter, and those who should migrate have migrated."

He frowned, picked and picked, and said, "I'll go back and ask someone to make a sticky net to try. It should be deeper. It seems more appropriate to use sticky nets in winter."

Father Ye thought for a while and said, "The cost of sticking the net is not high, but a net can only be used three or five times, and it is easy to break the net if it catches a big fish."

"Try one first."

"Then you can figure it out for yourself. It's okay to make a test first when you go back."

He asked his father to sail the boat, and he came to set the nets and pick them by the way.

Some of them were very small, and he picked them all out and threw them into the sea. They couldn’t be sold for money, and they weren’t good as bait, so it was better to let them return to the sea and continue to grow.

Looking at the seabirds flying at low altitude that had been following their fishing boat, he picked up a few small fish and threw them to the sea surface. These seabirds immediately rushed down to hunt for prey. And quickly flew into the air.

After sorting almost all the fish, it seemed that the quantity was even smaller, most of them were some worthless small fish and shrimp, and the only ones that could sell for money were the few catties of pippi shrimp and a few larger fish.

The moment he looked up and stood up, he saw his buoy in the distance.

Father Ye also saw it, and said happily, "Dongzi, I found it."

"Well, first pull up this net before going over."

It's good if you can find it, otherwise it will cost a lot of money to do it again.

After wandering around in the surrounding waters for another two hours, Father Ye set up the net again. This time the goods were still not much, and it was particularly miscellaneous. There were still more Pippi shrimps.

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the sea wind is strong, so there will be fewer fishing boats going out to sea. Although Pipi shrimp is not fat, the price has risen recently.

Some time ago, the small ones fell to 2 cents a catty, but recently they started to rise to [-] cents.

After pouring out all the fish, they didn't care about tidying up, so they went back to collect the hooks first. They haven't gone to sea for 4 days, and they don't know if some fish are all stinky.

After approaching the buoy, Ye Yaodong put away the buoy and tried to pull it. This time, the sinking stone rope was not stuck and was pulled up smoothly.

After the experience of getting stuck once, he would be a little worried when he collected it. It was not a good feeling to go into the water in such a cold day.

He continued to take up the line. It had been four days, it was too long. He didn't have much hope at first, but he felt a little weight after pulling it.

He scrolled the main line and pulled up the branch line, but saw a black strange fish suddenly coming up from the sea.

"what is this?"

Father Ye looked at the big fish that had just been pulled up from the sea with a dazed expression. Its mouth was still opening and closing, and the fishhook pierced its lower jaw.

Ye Yaodong was also confused, this fish is so ugly, he has never seen it before? ?

"Pull it up first, it's a bit heavy."

The fish was in a half-dead state, and there was no struggle when it was pulled up, and it went smoothly.

I saw this ugly and frightening strange fish, more than 40 centimeters long, black all over, its teeth were like pointed glass shards, and there was a small black broom-like "rod" on top of its head, like a light bulb.

Its mouth is so large that it can swallow fish as big as itself, and its teeth are particularly sharp.
