Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Lin Xiuqing's hands are also loose now, Ye Yaodong said to fry small fish to reward these child laborers in the afternoon, so she did.

After all, there was quite a lot of stuff that came out of the bucket full of goods they brought back. There was really everything one could expect from fish, shrimps, crabs, shells and conchs.

"You don't need to cook it, you can steam it all in one pot, just dig out those few sea urchins and stew them with eggs."

"Understood, that night, fry a bowl of bamboo shoots dug in the morning, and cook a soup with Haiqing."

Ye Yaodong nodded, he was very satisfied with the dinner dishes, all of which were delicacies (bamboo shoots) and seafood (seafood) that they earned through hard work today!

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang also had delicious dinners, each with a bowl of sea urchin steamed eggs, and seafood picked up by their own labor. There is no one who doesn't like the fruits of their labor.

Ye Yaodong got up at night before it was time to go out to sea, because Ah Zheng was going to the city to buy dried fish after the rain, and he helped him transport a cart of dried fish to the city.

It rained a few days ago, but fortunately Ah Zheng didn’t collect much for the first time, all of them were collected in the corridor, and the empty room at home was hung up and the windows were opened for ventilation. Quickly took it out to dry.

Next, he thought that it should be sunny for a few days, and wanted to take the opportunity to get a little more sunshine. It happened that the little daughter had a high fever yesterday because of the season change, so she was worried, and wanted to repair it for an extra day and not go out to sea at night.

After Ye Yaodong carried all the dried fish into the car and stacked them, he paid the fare on the spot and sent the people away before entering the house and preparing to go out to sea.

Fortunately, I don't go to sea every day, and Ah Zheng is helping me with the supply of goods, otherwise he will be exhausted running back and forth.

Before dark, he had already moved all the sticky nets to be taken to sea to the cart, as well as the more than 50 shrimp cages, stacked them up together, and tied them to the cart with ropes to save them from falling and paying back. They have to go back and forth twice, and they will set off as soon as his father arrives.

However, he reckoned that the sticky net wouldn't last for a few days, since it was spring and all the toad fish had returned to swim.

Moreover, these fishing nets are also a bit damaged. Although they don't put them out many times after the year, they are very careful when harvesting fish, and they are folded well when recycling.

However, it is easy to break after a long time of use. They are considered good, and they have not been replenished. His elder brother and second brother have already replenished a batch, and most people can't use them for so long.

But there are not many good ones, some are slightly damaged, some are slightly damaged, and the degrees are different, and they can be used barely.

He reckoned that after the toadfish season, the fishing nets would be scrapped. In fact, they can be eliminated now, just for recycling.

One spring rain, one warm, ten spring rains, wearing single clothes.

When he went out to sea at night, he could clearly feel that the sea breeze blowing over him was no longer so icy cold, but it was still a bit chilly. He thought it was just the temperature difference between morning and evening.

After they lowered all the fishing nets, the sun was high in the sky, and they no longer felt how cold it was, but the sea breeze blowing over was a bit warmer, and they could clearly smell the breath of spring.

"Father, there are about 34 of these sticky nets left. Judging by the degree of damage, it may not be usable after one or two times."

"Well, there's no need to mend it. It's just the beginning of spring. Let's trawl the net. Longline fishing can also be figured out and used."

"That's what I thought too. If you drive the boat further, I'll put down the shrimp pot by the way."

The technique of placing the shrimp cage is similar to that of the ground cage. The difference between the two is the size of the mesh, and the other differences are not big.

Ye Yaodong has already used ropes to tie all the cages together at a distance of 4-10 meters each, just like ground cages, in groups of ten, one end is tied with stones and thrown into the sea, and the other end is tied with a buoy and placed in the water.

During the period, he also threw in some small butt-sized fish that he saved from the mouths of chickens and ducks during the day, and used them as bait.

There were only 50 shrimp pots, not too many, and with Father Ye's cooperation, they were all released in less than an hour.

"Collect it when you go back in the evening, or come to collect it tomorrow morning?" Ye Yaodong looked at his father, "Collect it in the evening, come out in the early morning, and collect it again?"

Normally, the shrimp pots are taken out in the evening, and then collected the next morning. If the next morning, the interval between them is a bit long.

"Let's see if there are too many goods in the trawl net later. If there is more, let's trawl one more net and don't need to collect it. Come and collect it tomorrow. If there are not many goods in the trawl net, we can collect it by the way before returning. Let's make up for it." number."

"That's fine."

Originally, these shrimp cages were all made up, but he is too lazy to put them in the ground cages now. There are too many types of fishnets. Save it for a spare.

For example, when the weather gets warmer, he plans to take the ground cage to Oarfish Island to store sea cucumbers and little green dragons. These good things should not be missed.

The weather is still too cold now, and if there is water, people will not be able to carry it.

While Ye Yaodong was talking, he also dragged the big fishing net out of the cabin, and Father Ye also stepped forward to help tidy up the net.

"The heavy rain has just passed, and I don't know if we can have more good things."

"It's hard to say, it depends on luck."

The two ropes used to tow the net were originally piled up on the sides of the ship's side panels. As soon as the net entered the sea, the cables were pulled quickly, like a snake, and they all entered the sea in just a few minutes.

After the fishing net sank into the sea, Father Ye went to work with the boat at a constant speed, and Ye Yaodong also started to have nothing to do, he just lay down on the edge of the boat and fell asleep.

He got up too early at night, and when the sun was shining, he felt drowsy from the warmth. It happened to be the time when the fishing boat was operating, so he could squint for a while before getting up, otherwise he would have to work for a whole day.

And when he was running a boat in his previous life, he had already practiced the ability to fall asleep anytime and anywhere.

He just slept on the side of the boat, a little unsteady. It is normal for the fishing boat to shake during operation, but it was the waves brought up by the operation that woke him up.

After the waves hit the hull, a small part of the spray would erupt and scatter on his cheeks.

At first it was just Xiaolang, it ticked a few times, but he didn't care, turned his head and switched sides and continued to sleep.

It's just that a wave of celestial maidens scattered flowers from behind, and a large number of water droplets dripped from the head. The wet feeling made him think it was raining heavily in his sleep, and he woke up immediately.

"It's raining!?"

When he came back to his senses, he looked at the sunny sky, wiped off the water droplets on his face, and stroked his steamy hair.

"It's the waves, I thought it was raining... Fuck, these waves are like rowing a boat without an oar."

He touched the corner of his mouth again, but he couldn't tell whether it was saliva or sea water. He had just dreamed that he was on a speedboat and opened a bottle of champagne. It was so beautiful...

spoil the fun...

Looking at the waves rolling on the sea, he felt that it would be better to sit on the edge of the cabin and lean on it. He could sleep no matter whether he was sitting on his stomach or standing on his back.

However, before he left, he saw a strange golden fish on the sea, just a little bigger than a palm, "It seems to be a puffer fish? But why is it golden?"

The fishing boat was not moving fast because it was working, and it was floating beside it. Ye Yaodong saw a handmade net on the side deck of the boat, so he took it and stretched his hand to try it out. Although it was a little far away, but It was really picked up.

Father Ye watched his actions from a distance, and asked loudly curiously, "What are you fishing for?"

"I saw a strange golden fish." He retracted the net and took a look. "Uh, it's really a puffer fish, a golden puffer fish..."

He reached out and grabbed it out, and put it in the palm of his hand, but he didn't expect it to keep spitting at him, as if despising him?
despise him?
Or are you scorning him?

He kept spitting at him! !
your sister!
I don’t know how many you brothers and sisters have eaten, but I have never eaten golden ones.

It's only the size of a palm, and I don't know how it grows into a golden color. He simply took a bucket of sea water and threw it in to raise it, so as not to kill it by holding it in his hand right now.

However, before he could study why it was golden and whether it could be eaten, his father saw it when he went to collect the net, turned around and fell back into the sea, and it was too late for him to stop it.

"I caught them all and put them in buckets. You can dump them any way you want, without asking me."

"What are you using it for? Do you still want to eat dried puffer fish again? People used to eat it to death."

"I'll just take a look, don't eat it, I see it's golden, I'm just curious and haven't seen it before."

"Gold is gold. You don't care what it is. It can't be eaten anyway. You can't know all the things in the sea. Come here to help collect the nets, just to free up the bucket for other things."

Because the value is different, the "treatment" of fishing goods is naturally different. Useless things can only be returned to ashes, dust to dust, and sea to sea. Only useful things are worthy of being brought back.

"There are so many baskets, are you afraid that there is nothing to put them in? How many tons of fish do you have to put in?" Ye Yaodong was dissatisfied, so he asked him anyway, he didn't even ask, he was just curious.

Father Ye didn't care about his complaints, "Hurry up and help, maybe the net will explode, and the net lifting machine creaks."

"That means it's time for lube!"

"Nonsense~"
