Chapter 1171 Want to be a fisherman(1/3)
It was windy and rainy outside, and the waves came up from time to time, taking away the remaining ones. Giant eels came and went, and he didn't go out to take a look. He didn't know if there were any left on the deck, or how many were left.
They were so big that he couldn't handle them alone. There were only seven or eight of them at the beginning, and when he went to get the stick, he almost couldn't get away.
When we just returned to the cabin to rest, there were more activities on the ground, and some of them were killed and couldn't be dragged away. It's hard to say now.
Anyway, he can only stay in the small kitchen space and watch first, and there is only one giant eel left in his hand that he has not yet dealt with.
His father was also quite powerful. When they were just fighting, he could sneak in and drag the dead or fainted ones in first, give them a stabbing blow and throw them there, and then slowly deal with them.
After handling three fish in a row, he has become very proficient. He can easily cut one end of the swim bladder out by scratching his belly, finding the swim bladder, and using his fingers to push back.
There is a very important point here. You can only dig out a small part, find the umbilical cord connecting the swim bladder and the fish body, cut off the end of the umbilical cord connecting the fish body, and press it tightly.
Otherwise, the fish bladder will leak, which will affect its appearance and is not conducive to storage.
After taking out the swim bladder, just tie a knot on the umbilical cord on the swim bladder.
After taking out the last fish bladder, he threw it into the basin as usual, which was already stained with some blood.
He first cleaned the fish bladders one by one, then hung them up with a rope and hung them above his head. The weather was definitely not dry in this weather, but there was nothing he could do. Of course, he had to hang them up to dry before taking them out to prevent them from smelling.
The bigger the fish, the bigger the swim bladder, and if it hangs vertically, it has to squat down to get out.
In the originally small space, he had to hunch his shoulders and lower his head when standing up.
However, he happened to need to drag the fish on the ground to the fish warehouse to keep them fresh, and then sell them ashore after the storm passed.
Ye Yaodong dragged them in and out. Each of these giant eels weighed thirty or forty pounds, and they were extremely long, two meters long, longer than others. He could only pick up one at a time and throw it into the fish barn.
It wasn't that he didn't want to hold two, but the fish were too slippery, and with the heavy rain, the shaking of the fishing boat made it particularly difficult to stand, so he could only pick them up one by one to avoid falling off the deck and swaying and sliding into the sea.
Moreover, it is not easy to drag, and I am afraid that the skin will be damaged and the appearance will not look good, so the price will be discounted.
Before he could move a few fish, he saw another big wave rolling in. The boat shook even more violently. The fish he was holding was shaky, and he almost fell into the aisle with the fish. Fortunately, he caught the fish's gills, and the other fish
One hand also held the door panel.
As soon as he stabilized his body, he quickly threw the fish in his hand back inside and stopped doing it.
Such a heavy rain is really troublesome. I have to wait for my father to wake up and let his father do it.
Just thinking about being idle just now is also idle. There is no place to stay here. If you get these fish into the fish warehouse early, you can free up space. After an hour or two, when they continue to fight with these fish,
His father still had some space to drag the fish here and continue to get the isinglass.
It seemed that it was windy and rainy now, and the fishing boat was shaking constantly, so it was not suitable for doing this, but he didn't know whether it was sweat or rain, and he was wet from head to toe.
Ye Yaodong sighed and looked at the aisle in front of him. Two more giant eels slid into the sea with the movement of the water and the direction of the fishing boat.
He wanted to intercept it but knew that he couldn't do it, so he could only watch it. Anyway, if it didn't attack him, it would slide into the sea.
He was bored and didn't want to sleep, so he looked around with a flashlight. Later, he felt a little hungry. After working for so long, he simply cooked some noodles and cooked some rice.
When everyone wakes up, they can also eat hot food to fill their stomachs, so that they will have more strength to kill those giant eels and it will last longer.
After all the work was done, he felt wet and uncomfortable again. It was autumn now, and the nights at sea were particularly cold. He went to the cabin to change into clean clothes, and then stood at the door with a flashlight to shine on the sea in front of him.
He wanted to go up to the helm, but he couldn't and had to go around to the other side. He was afraid of being attacked by the giant eel, so he could only lean against the door and listen to the snoring inside, mixed with the sound of the heavy rain outside.
By the way, I would look at my watch in my pocket from time to time. Fortunately, it was only 10 minutes away from the promised two hours. If I kept checking here and there, the time would pass quickly, and it wasn't that difficult to wait.
After arriving at the time, he took a look at the porridge cooked in the pot. It was just cooked and very hot. He simply opened the lid of the pot and let it cool for 10 minutes before asking them to eat it. It was just right for them to eat.
He couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up. He was so considerate. Where could he find such a good boss? He even cooked food for them.
Everyone held their own bowls and squatted down to eat somewhere sheltered from the rain. They also praised Ye Yaodong by the way.
"How many did we kill before going to bed? There should be quite a few, right?"
"It hasn't been dragged in for processing. I don't know how much work there is on the deck. Don't go back to the sea and let us work in vain."
"A Dong is on duty there, just ask him."
Ye Yaodong was squatting in another place, listening to their shouts, and said: "Just drag in eleven or two. There should be a few more on the deck. I don't know if I'm alive. Anyway, I just watched the waves at the door."
We came up and returned to the sea, and I don’t know how many of them were left on the deck.”
"If I can get these back, I can make another fortune. This one is as thick as my thighs."
"I don't know if the earnings are enough for me to compensate. I also have to treat Aqiang's leg. He was injured on the ship, and I have to take responsibility for him. At least the salary must be paid during the recovery period, otherwise his family will count on him."
If so, then you have to drink the northwest wind."
Everyone was surprised that they were still being paid, and they were all a little surprised. Then naturally they would not be afraid of being injured and unable to work to earn money to support their families.
This is a kind of guarantee.
"A Dong is so kind and righteous. He still paid his salary while he was recuperating."
"Yes, yes, if you let other bosses go, who will care about you? They can at most pay for your medical expenses, or just give you some money as compensation."
"Yes, one person died at sea last year, so we only paid a few hundred yuan. If someone was injured, we just paid a few dozen yuan and left it alone."
Ye Yaodong said: "Yes, of course I have to take responsibility for injuries at sea. You guys eat quickly and work quickly after eating. I don't know how many are still waiting to be settled on the front deck."
"Oh good..."
I don’t know if his words had an effect, or if everyone took a rest and filled their stomachs to regain their strength.
Everyone felt like they had been given a shot of chicken blood. When they saw that there was almost no place to put their feet on the front deck, the giant eels were all twisting and turning, but they were not panicked or afraid, and they were not shrinking and hiding like before.
Go ahead and take the initiative now.
They cooperated in pairs as before, slowly solving the problem one by one. Father Ye was there, so he poked the person in the corner to make sure it was dead, and then dragged it to a compartment in the cabin for processing.
Everyone was busy. Fortunately, the rain boots and raincoats were quite thick. Although it was difficult to move, no one was injured by the attacks of these giant eels.
As time passed, everyone's breathing became louder and louder, and their movements became slower and less agile than at the beginning. However, they were still persevering because the heavy rain had subsided and there was a glimmer of light on the horizon.
"It will be dawn soon, everyone, hang on and rest when it gets up."
Everyone glanced at the horizon, feeling hopeful, and feeling a little stronger. Only three or four of them were still moving, but there was no place to stand on the deck. They were all carcasses of big fish.
Some of them overlapped, causing them to kill the remaining troops, and everyone was not able to deal with them so neatly. It took a long time to deal with those three or four, but it also prevented the remaining troops from attacking them neatly.
Everyone used long sticks to attack several of them, but they couldn't kill those few. Unfortunately, their movement was limited. There was still a giant eel from behind that slowly moved in front of them and wanted to attack, but it was subdued by everyone's combined efforts.
Ye Yaodong could see that everyone was very tired and had been exerting their strength for too long. They had been struggling with the remaining three or four items for a long time.
"Have a rest. It's getting brighter and the rain has lightened up a bit. Just leave the two or three fish alone and drag them in to deal with them first. Let's work together to help my dad cover up and don't let those fish escape.
A few fish are approaching.”
"Okay, everyone just stand where you are and watch while you rest."
"I have no strength in my hands. This fish is so big and powerful that it is difficult to kill without a gun."
"You can't even kill someone with a knife, and you can bite people."
"Don't say you can't kill your head with just one knife. If you cut your head off, it will bite you and bleed."
"Fortunately, there are also fish on the deck. The waves brought the fish up, but they were blocked in the road and couldn't rush forward. They slipped back into the sea on the aisle, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to finish the fishing."
"Yeah, why are there so many fish?"
“This fish likes to come out to look for food on stormy nights. I don’t know what its habit is.”
After Ye Yaodong said something, he added, "When you have rested enough later, you will help to take care of the fish, take out the isinglass, and then throw it back to the fish warehouse. There are only two people left here to guard it. Don't let the few remaining
Just attack them alive."
"good."
Father Ye quickly said: "Then you take the fish in the compartment to the fish warehouse later. I dragged them to death, and my hands are almost exhausted. There is no place to stand there. I have dragged them to the deck now."
I took it out of the corner and dragged it to the fish warehouse."
"knew."
Everyone rested for a while, then worked together to separate the dead fish, and then took the opportunity to kill the remaining two or three fish that were still alive. Now everyone on the boat could really take a breath and not be afraid of threats.
.
After feeling relieved, everyone also fell down on the deck. No... there were giant eels under their butts, and they fell on the giant eels.
"There won't be any more, right?"
"I saw there were still others in the sea, but I just rushed to the back deck and slipped down again."
It wasn't completely bright yet, because the weather was bad and it was raining, it looked foggy and hazy, very gloomy, and the visibility was not high, so their flashlights were still shining there.
Ye Yaodong leaned against the side of the boat to catch his breath, and the flashlight in his hand also shined towards the sea.
There seemed to be a lot of giant eels that were rising and falling, moving with the waves. He saw that they were still popping up on the sea surface. Maybe it was because the sky was too gloomy, so they hadn't receded yet.
"Huh? There are sharks there!"
"where?"
"What's so strange? It's normal to have sharks."
"I'm just saying, I saw the fins standing up on the sea."
"Ah, it looks like there's a fight!"
