Back to the small fishing village in 1982

When Ye Yaodong saw Xiao Qinglong, it was as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he was revived with full blood. He had been exhausted after a long day, but now he was refreshed again.

He speeded up the speed of collecting the net, and collected the remaining half of the net in one go.

"Ah! Three! There will be three at once..."

Father Ye gasped, enduring the discomfort in his throat, and pointed at the shrimp pot with his index finger: "This is good, this is good..."

This is of course good.

Ye Yaodong untied the rope binding the fish collection bag at the bottom, dumped the whole net into the basket, and the green crayfish in it flipped over when poured out and crawled around actively, it was very gratifying to watch.

He reached out and grabbed one in his hand, watching its tail constantly curling up, "It's okay, it's a big one, weighs a catty, and there are two more that are smaller, probably about seven or eight taels. "

"I didn't expect there to be lobsters caught here." Father Ye also caught one and looked at it.

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that he had collected so many shrimp pots just now, and he didn't see Xiao Qinglong. He didn't expect that there were three shrimp pots in this one.

"I don't know if there are any leftovers, just keep watching."

"Hey, hurry up and collect it, I'll get a bucket for me alone."

Father Ye went to the corner, put his precious hookah away, and brought an empty bucket. After thinking about it, he took another bucket of sea water, and finally caught Xiao Qinglong in the bucket.

Then he leaned against the side of the boat, watching eagerly as Ye Yaodong put down the row of shrimp pots just now, and then continued to collect them.

But after collecting the whole row, they only saw another one in the last net.

"Four."

"It's okay, it's okay, I thought it was only under the reef over there, but I didn't expect it to be here too."

"They're all in the same sea area, so it's normal." After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he continued to collect another buoy, and there was a row of ten shrimp pots.

The collection of a row of shrimp pots was fast and slow, and it took half an hour for the last row to be collected and put back.

The surprise is really there again.

"Six in total! Two of them are relatively big, and should be over a catty, and the remaining four should be around seven or eight taels."

"Yes, yes, these few can be sold for several yuan, plus that big Spanish mackerel, and this basket of sword shrimp, and there are a lot of those fish. Today's harvest is not bad." Father Ye I calculated the approximate value of today's harvest in my heart, and I was very satisfied.

That is to say, they are more diligent. When they came to release the nets, they lowered the shrimp pots and dragged the nets. They used all the time they could use.

If this is done in the future, the average fisherman will only set one type of net at a time, and go home to rest directly after the net is cast, and collect it the next day.

How can it be like they are doing now, go out to build a variety of networks, make the best use of everything, just to make a little more money.

"This basket isn't full of sword shrimp. If you pick it out, it's probably half at most."

Ye Yaodong didn't dare to reach out to fish it out, the thorns on the head of the shrimp were very sharp, no matter how rough his hand was, if it stuck into the meat, it would still hurt and make people hiss.

If it gets stuck between the nails, it will be even more ecstasy, and there are crabs and fish inside.

He only stretched out his hand to fiddle with the surface a few times, but even so, his hand was pricked several times, and even a bead of blood came out, and he sucked it twice indifferently.

"That's not a lot. Half of it is about 20 catties, and it can be sold for more than ten yuan. Now shrimp are quite expensive." Ye's father said as he walked to the stern of the boat, "Okay, let's go and sail. Take some goods from the stern and pack them up, and then sort this basket."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong pulled up the anchor before starting the boat and heading back. The sun had already set on the mountain, but the sky was still bright, and now the days were getting longer.

He checked the time habitually again, it was 5:40, and it would be almost 7 o'clock when he went back. It's hard to earn any money...

In this life, he really did all the work that he didn't do in his previous life, and by the way, he earned a piece of money that he didn't earn in his previous life.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that he was doing it again.

Feeling in his pocket, he took a cigarette and lit it up, taking two puffs to refresh himself.

He didn't catch any free time throughout the day. Usually, if he didn't work, he could only manage a pack of cigarettes for one or two days, but he could manage it for three or four days on the boat.

He held the steering handle with one hand to steer the rudder, and held the half-burned smoke in the other hand, and moved forward against the wind. He looked a little high-spirited, and he didn't know what he was thinking of, and the corners of his mouth kept rising.

The sky dimmed little by little, and the visibility became low. Ye Yaodong also turned on the flashlight in advance.

The fishing boats dock at different times. When they come back, it’s already dark on the shore, and the lights of fishermen’s homes are lit up everywhere. There are sparks on the sea. They are probably returning fishing boats, and there are small boats swaying on the shore. .

"It seems that not only we are late, but everyone else is also late."

"Who doesn't work from dawn to dusk, hurry up, before the fishing boats dock behind, let's quickly unload the goods and weigh them, so as to save people a step behind and have to wait in line."

It was already dark, and only a few people on the shore were busy there, loading and unloading the fish on the cart, or some were carrying buckets to go home.

When Ah Cai saw their boat approaching the shore, he hurried over to help carry it.

"Is there a lot of goods today? Didn't catch anything good?"

"Six little green dragons are considered good? There is also a golden squid weighing about [-] to [-] catties, a little bit of other mackerel, and quite a lot of sword shrimp."

A Cai was surprised, "You're lucky, the harvest is much better than your elder brother and second brother, they only have some random goods."

"Oh? They came back first?"

It's rare. In the past, his two elder brothers were No.1 in getting up early and getting late. It may be that there are not many goods, so they came back early.

"An hour earlier than you guys, I came back before dark." A Cai said while looking for the boat, "Where are the little green dragon and the golden finfish?"

"Put it in the cabin, the sun is a little bit hot during the day, I'm afraid it will be damaged."

Ah Cai went to the cabin to take a look, and found that it was really big enough. There were not many villages around them and even the village next door with trawlers. It's really not that big as sixty catties, so it's all about luck.

"This fish is a bit cheaper than mackerel, but it's big enough. One can barely hold up to the average person's net. First, let's help carry it down."

"Ah."

Father Ye also smiled at the side and said: "Today, I specially placed a few rows of shrimp cages. I was lucky. I also caught 6 little green dragons and a lot of sword shrimps."

"You have always been lucky."

They chatted a few words while carrying them, and by the way habitually asked about other people's gains.

Except for the boats that haven't come back yet, it was found that they still caught the most goods. They hauled three nets, which was as good as others who hauled five nets, but it was also thanks to the shrimp pots.

Anyway, it's for nothing, if you put it outside, the waves are really big, you can't go out to collect it, and you won't feel bad if you are beaten by the waves.

However, when weighing, Ye Yaodong deliberately picked a little green dragon that was smaller and good at crawling, and threw it into the bucket by itself for storage.

"You want to keep it home to eat again? Haven't you eaten it all and tasted it, and still eat it? This is too expensive..."

"Xiao Jiu hasn't eaten it yet, so leave one for her. She's getting older and has two teeth. She can eat all these things."

Coincidentally, there are still five days before her first birthday. She was born on the third day of March. Today is the 27th day of the lunar calendar. He checked the wall calendar yesterday, and there are only 29 days in the lunar calendar this month.

Father Ye opened his mouth. At first he wanted to say a few girlish things, but then he thought that he treasured his daughter every day, and the mother-in-law at home would say from time to time that "boys and girls are the same", "girls are not worse than boys", etc. Wait for these slogans to hang on your lips.

He swallowed the words back again.

Forget it, anyway, he didn't lack good things, and he didn't spend his money. He still counted on the three brothers to take care of them.

Ah Cai smiled and said, "For the daughter of the family? I really love my daughter. Unfortunately, my daughter is grown up. Why don't you give me half of your daughter and give my son my daughter-in-law when she grows up."

Ye Yaodong looked him up and down in distaste. Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, sons born to mice can make holes!
Like father, like son!
With his short stature and chubby belly, he wondered if his son would succeed in the counterattack?

"Wonderful thinking! Those who make money from me and still want to make money from me, don't let me see your son next time."

Ah Cai: "???"

Is this going to trouble his son too?
"Hurry up and weigh the goods, what are you looking at? Don't use your brain!"

Ah Cai shook his head. This kind of old man seems unreliable, and he still dislikes it.
