Return to the small fishing village of 1982

After Ye Chenghu was rescued by Ye Mu, Ye Yaodong also went back to the house to sleep, and would go to sea at night.

He was in a daze when a knock on the door suddenly woke him up. He had something on his mind, so he didn't sleep too deeply. When he heard the sound, he sat up and got out of bed.

Lin Xiuqing also heard the knock on the door. She turned around and saw that her man had already gotten up and opened the door. As soon as she sat up, she heard voices coming from the door.

"Just get up, wash up, and let's go."

"knew."

When Ye Yaodong turned around and went into the room to get dressed, he was almost startled when he saw her getting out of bed, "What are you doing up?"

"Get up when you hear the noise. Be careful at sea and listen to dad."

"I know, I'm not a three-year-old child. You can just go ahead and lie down and go to sleep. It's only two o'clock now."

"Um."

Ye Yaodong put on his clothes and rain boots and hurried out to eat. After he was full, he went out to sea.

Mother Ye packed two more meals for them in lunch boxes, and boiled two eggs and handed them to Ye Yaodong.

"Today is your first day at sea. These two eggs are for you. Your eldest and second brothers also had them when they went out with your father for the first time."

He responded and took everything he needed to bring, and hurriedly followed his father with a headlamp on.

It was pitch dark outside, and I could only rely on my headlights to illuminate my way.

The village was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Once you reached the pier, it became lively, with flashing headlights and the noise of talking everywhere.

"You wait here first, I'll go sail the boat."

"Did you buy diesel?"

"I bought it. I bought it in advance when I sailed back in the afternoon."

After the typhoon, tonight should be the first time for the villagers to go to sea. The pier is full of various boats. Several boats are sailing away from the shore, or are already floating on the sea. Their iron boats compare with the small wooden boats with oars. , already considered a big ship.

Amidst the noise of the machine, the ship sailed towards the distant ocean.

Because it was dark, Ye's father was worried about leaving the boat to Ye Yaodong, fearing that he would not be able to discern the direction. Ye Yaodong also knew that it was useless to just rely on his words, and his father did not believe him. He simply felt comfortable, lay down anywhere, and prepared Squint a little longer.

It wasn't until he reached the sea area where he had been fishing frequently recently that Father Ye called him up, "We're here, the net is about to be set, keep an eye on it."

They are single-vessel trawls, using sleeved trawls, mainly working on the bottom, and using tail towing.

This type of trawl net is equipped with two water retaining plates on both sides of the net. When the fishing boat drags the fishing net, the water flow pushes the two plates to expand outward at a certain angle, driving the fishing net to open the mouth of the net.

After Ye's father woke up Ye Yaodong, he slowed down and released the net gear from the tail chute, connected the net plate to the drag frame and separated it from the two net plate frames.

Then the fishing boat moved forward quickly and gradually released the two drag lines. After the towing line is released to a predetermined length, the fishing vessel trawls forward in the predetermined towing direction and speed.

The trawl speed is generally 3 to 5 knots per hour.

Ye Yaodong actually knew how to do it in his previous life, but he still listened carefully to his father explaining the principles to him.

"How long does it take to get online?"

"Depending on the situation, the network is usually activated every two to three hours."

Working at sea is very boring, and there is no mobile phone to watch videos at this time, so he can only hold his chin and look at the sea level and wait.

And facing his father is not as fun as facing his friends. If you are with your friends, you can chat, play cards and so on.

Father Ye couldn't see him idle and shouted directly to him: "Come here and drive for a while!"

"Are you relieved?"

"Didn't you say a few days ago that Aguang taught you how to do it? I'll give it a try now."

"Okay! Then you can squint for a while and leave this net to me. There will be a good harvest!"

As long as his father doesn't worry, there's nothing he can't do. Ever since he was reborn, they have always thought he can't do it.

Father Ye looked at him with disgust, "It'll be good if you can sail the boat well. Be careful not to hit the rocks."

Look down on him!

Ye Yaodong did not quarrel with his father. He looked directly at the sea in the distance with his mouth flat, and just sailed the boat honestly.

Father Ye was relieved to see that he was still decent.

When it got dark, Father Ye thought it was almost time, so he planned to set up the first net.

The fishing boat moved forward slowly and retracted the winch in sequence. When the winch reached the net plate, Ye's father fixed the net plate on the net frame to separate it from the tow line. He continued to retract the winch and dragged it from the stern slide to the on deck.

Ye Yaodong also ran forward to help drag it, "It's so heavy. Do you have a big product? Oh, they are stingrays. There are so many of them. They are a bit cheap, but the quantity is really large. This pile weighs almost a hundred kilograms. Right? There are still a few real eagles..."

The stingray is estimated to be less than 20 cents per catty, but the nearly 100 catties plus other fish products are worth 20 yuan, and there are also some scattered shrimps and crabs, which can be regarded as a huge net. The trawling in their village now only makes 10 yuan a day. A few dozen yuan.

Father Ye was also very satisfied, "Well, this net is good. I encountered a school of stingrays. Sure enough, there will be more fish after the typhoon."

The ray is a cartilaginous fish with a flattened body into a rhombus shape and a strange and elegant appearance. The entire pectoral fins look like a pair of large wings, and it looks like flying when swimming.

It looks very similar to a manta ray, but a ray has a tail or dorsal fin, while a manta ray has only a head or rostrum fin.

Sizes also vary, with manta rays being the largest species of rays and rays being much smaller than manta rays. Generally, rays can reach a maximum length of 2.5 meters, while the largest manta ray can exceed 7 meters.

Moreover, manta rays are also very aggressive and can easily kill people, so they are called "manta rays", while rays are much less aggressive.

Ye Yaodong said while sorting, "Isn't it my luck?"

Father Ye glanced sideways at him, "I let you release the next net, and I also let you drive. You can drive wherever you want."

"Okay, as long as I'm here to help, there will definitely be a bumper harvest today."

If you have no hair on your mouth, you will not be able to do things well. Now that's good, let's see how many nets he can hit!

This first net is enough for him, and Father Ye doesn't mind letting him try it out.

After sorting the rays and handing the other bulk cargo to his father, Ye Yaodong ran to sail the boat and set the net.

Time passed slowly and the sky became brighter and brighter.

A faint orange light gradually emitted from the sea level, becoming more and more intense, and the clouds on the horizon also glowed brightly, attracting the attention of fishermen at sea.

Ye Yaodong also looked towards the horizon. Sunrise?

The sun shines brightly in the distance, and the sun reveals a golden edge from the sea in the east, from the chaos of sea and sky.

In less than two minutes, the sun will jump out, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

The vast sea of ​​clouds was illuminated by the red light of the sun, and became colorful. The golden morning light gradually dyed the eastern sky red, and countless golden lights rippled on the water.

What a sunrise on the sea! Really beautiful!

It's a pity that communication is underdeveloped and there are no mobile phones. Otherwise, he could record it and send it to his wife. She must have never seen the sunrise over the sea. .

If there is a chance, he can take his wife to the sea to watch the sunrise.

Ye Yaodong did not delay sailing until he saw the sunrise, and kept controlling the direction of the trawling machine at a constant speed.
