Back to the small fishing village in 1982

It takes only a few minutes to drive from the middle of the sea to the vicinity of the island.

The sun at noon is particularly dazzling, shining on the sea surface sparkling, as if covering the water surface with a layer of sparkling silver, but a large group of white marine life swims under the water surface in front of it, breaking the calm water surface, and the waves are undulating .

Ye Yaodong was delighted, here we come!

A big wave of squid is coming ahead!

"Big cousin, prepare your two hands for throwing the net. You should be busy later."

It's better to come early than coincidentally. It's just right to come in the afternoon.

Better late than never.

The eldest cousin ran to the bow of the boat to take a look, and hurriedly prepared with a happy face.

Ye Yaodong found a convenient place to cast the net, stopped the boat, and looked at the distant sea first. His father's boat just started to move, and it slowly drove towards this side. It is estimated that it has finished receiving the goods. .

And the ship that is further away is still working there. It is estimated that if the two of them stay here for a long time, they will come over immediately.

It is really inconvenient without communication tools.

The eldest cousin brought two brand new hand-thrown nets, and Ye Yaodong took one.

Two people can work at the same time, so the throwing efficiency is higher.

These two new hand-thrown nets were made by his mother some time ago. By the way, he asked her to knit two more. She even complained about them. She couldn't finish the words at once. She said a few words and a few words. , finished knitting two and two more pieces.

His mother is really, he will actively help with the work that should be done, but he can also talk a lot.

Ye Yaodong threw the net in his hand, watching the large group of squid that just swam past were attracted by the branches under the water and stopped.

He first wound the rope around his left hand, and then placed the fishing net section by section on his elbow. When the fishing net was half a person's height, he lifted the fishing net with the lead weight.

Then look at the sea, and after checking the position, grab the remaining fishing net with the lead weight, move your feet in a figure eight shape, lean your body sideways and rely on the inertia of the rebound, and throw it out with your right hand. The one with the lead weight will fly. Further and spread out, the rope in the left hand is held steady in the hand.

The eldest cousin watched from the side, and said with a smile: "Your fishing net is getting better and better."

“Isn’t this necessary for us fishermen?”

"Haha, this was just a few years ago. Your mother would never have imagined that you would be so promising. It would be better if you open up earlier. You won't have to be scolded for so many years in vain."

Ye Yaodong nodded sympathetically, "Indeed."

He held the rope with his left hand and slowly collected the fishing net that had just been spread out.

"This net is good. I just saw a large wave of squid swimming over, and I caught one of them."

"How can I say that you are lucky? My uncle and the others came out at night and dragged the net until just now, saying that they would come after the fishing net was collected. As a result, they happened to meet you as soon as you came."

The smile on Ye Yaodong's face deepened, "I came here at the right time. Well...my father and the others are also here."

The eldest cousin looked at the approaching boat in the distance, and said with a smile, "I'll cast the net in another position, let's catch more, and when your father and the others come over, I'll just show them."

A large group of squids swam over to lay their eggs. Regardless of the large number, they were quite scattered, because the branches were scattered, and it was impossible to catch them all at once.

When Ye Yaodong cast the net just now, he tried to avoid branches, not because he was afraid of catching squid eggs, but because he was afraid that a large number of branches would get entangled in the fishing net and easily break it.

The squid eggs are brought up by the branches, so he collects them. Anyway, if he doesn't collect them, everyone will collect them. It's not that if he doesn't collect them alone, the fishing season will continue to exist for decades.

Anyway, there are various factors that make it impossible to form a fishing season. It’s not that he can’t collect it alone, but he won’t fish it if it’s not brought up by the branches. At least it’s left for others, and the nine clans can’t be wiped out.

He cast the net very accurately, and when a large wave of squid came over, it was not difficult to drag it in the water. However, when it came out of the water, his arm strength was particularly tested.

Scatter casually, his net has a weight of several tens of catties, plus water.

He grinned and pressed the fishing net against the hull, moving it a little bit, and the biceps on his arms bulged out.

When Father Ye and his fishing boat approached, he happened to see his large bag of goods being pulled out of the water, the sea water under the fishing net was rushing, and the big cousin's net was also being pulled.

"Ah! So many squids! You came at the right time." Father Ye stood on the side of the boat holding a lunch box, talking vaguely about the meal.

Ye Yaosheng also echoed, "That's right, we hooked up the rope to take a look when we came over, it was all empty, and I wanted to say that we will take a look after we finish hauling a net."

Father Ye urged Ye Yaosheng impatiently, "Go, go, sail to the other side, let's go there and have a look."

Their ship also quickly changed direction and headed for another release location.

Ye Yaodong was sweating profusely when he collected the net. Since he bought the roller, he rarely collected the net like this.

At this time, he couldn't help but envy his father and the others. The boat had rolling wheels, so it didn't need much manpower. Only when the net was cast frequently, the arms would be sore, which could save a lot of effort.

And when a net is about to be collected, hang the rope on the rolling wheel, watch alone, and then cast another net, which saves labor and is highly efficient.

When you are tired, another person casts the net and can close the nets one by one.

Damn, he made a mistake, he should be in the same boat as his father.

Ye Yaodong just felt a little depressed and cursed in his heart. He still felt that it would be better to take care of a ship separately from his father. After all, he was hiring a worker to work, not a partner.

After moving the fishing net to the side of the boat little by little, he exerted a little more force, and smashed a large bag of squid on the deck. In an instant, ink splashed all over him, and the deck below was also stained with ink. Total darkness.

The eldest cousin also followed him and threw a large bag of squid on the deck. However, he was short and not only was his body splashed with ink, but his face was also splashed with black paint.

The quantity in his net is relatively small, estimated to be around a dozen or twenty kilograms, which is incomparable with Ye Yaodong's bag, so it's no wonder the collection speed is so fast.

After Ye Yaodong glanced at it, he first went to get a bucket, took off all the branches hooked on the fishing net, and took off the squid eggs on it and put them into the bucket, and then put the branches back into the sea one after another.

I didn't get many strings in total, and these squids had just swam over, and most of them were caught before they could lay eggs.

After taking down all the branches, he untied the fishing net, lifted a large net of squid and put it in the basket, then pulled the fishing net and slowly poured it into the basket.

According to him, the amount he netted should be about 40 kilograms, which is enough.

The eldest cousin also dragged the basket he had just fallen over with a dark face, and the two baskets were placed together, "You still have the most quantity in this net."

"After all, I just swam here, so the first net cast is quite predictable."

"Today should be regarded as the first day of the flood season. You have to remember the time and refer to this time next year."

"How can I say it accurately? Let's work harder and see if there will be more in the future."

The two immediately cast nets again, but the amount of harvest was not as good as one time. After all, the fishing season has just started, so there are not many people coming in large numbers at the beginning.After entering the peak flood season, you can continue to fish every afternoon.

The two nets they cast behind each added up to a total of more than 20 catties, which was not as large as Yaodong's first net.

The three bamboo baskets were not full yet, so the eldest cousin asked hesitantly: "Should we continue to cast nets? It seems that there are not many of them. The big wave that came just now is probably scattered. Most of them should They all moved forward."

"It's really a waste of time to stay here again. There must not be that many at the beginning. Go to my father's side to see. If there are not many on their side, go to collect the net first."

"Okay, I'm going to sail."

Ye Yaodong also lifted the sunhat on his head and fanned himself. On a hot day, his head felt stuffy and he was sweating profusely, which was quite uncomfortable.

He casually put it aside first, lifted up a basket with the least number and merged it into two baskets, so as to save a few things from occupying several baskets.

It's just that when he fell, many remaining evils were unceremoniously splashed on his face, and he didn't escape in the end.

When the fishing boat approached his father's boat, he looked at the harvest on their boat, only to find that it was not as good as his. Both of their baskets were not full, only about 70 catties at most.

And his two baskets weighed more than 100 catties in total. Fortunately, they still have machines to collect them, so it was better for him to cast the first net, which just happened to happen.

Father Ye also shouted: "We haven't cast a few nets yet, but there are not many people left. It should be because the flood season has just begun. Most of them have drifted forward. I don't know how many people can come here today. I guess it is Not that much, I only saw two bright spots at night, so I have to take my time.”

"Wait, anyway, if you go to trawling nets, you won't be able to haul two nets. It will be worth it if you keep it up to a wave. It's more than 3 cents a catty."

"Do you want to collect the shrimp pots and ground cages first? It won't take long, and it should be okay to come back after collecting them."

"I'll try it out."

He also thought that if he could take it back, he might as well take it back first. If it got stuck, it would be inconvenient for him to go down to rescue it now. If it floated in the water for ten days and a half months, he would never even be able to find the buoy.

Too busy, too sleepy, I will add another chapter tomorrow
