He turned the rolling wheel, collected the fishing net, and let his father collect the fish from behind. The parrot fish was also pulled to Father Ye.
Father Ye said happily: "This fish looks quite big, weighing more than three kilograms."
"I just picked up a piece of red coral in its mouth. It's a little bigger than a fingernail."
"What are you using that for? It's useless, just throw it back into the sea."
"Why throw it away? The bright red color looks so festive. Take it back and keep it. It might become valuable in the future."
"What is this thing worth? If you give it away and people don't want it..." Father Ye said indifferently, "Your aunt brought a basket of red, pink, white, and black items a few years ago, and your mother took them all.
Throwing garbage into the sea..."
"Fuck!"
Ye Yaodong was so shocked that he opened his eyes wide and turned to look at his father without closing the net, "Is it true or not? Why didn't I know?"
Father Ye rolled his eyes at him, "Why are you reacting like that? Why don't you hurry up and get to the shore after harvesting? Go back before the sun goes down. Aren't you still going to town to sell oarfish? What are you bothering about?
Collect the little bit left and go back quickly."
"Ah... no, my mother really threw a basket of corals?"
Father Ye saw that he was a little confused, it was just a worthless thing, so he ignored his questions. After bleeding the parrot fish, he stepped forward and turned the scroll wheel himself.
The remaining sticky net is not long, it was originally made into a three-finger, 100-meter, three-layer net.
"No, Dad, did my mother really throw away a basket of corals?"
If he doesn't ask clearly, he will feel uncomfortable! It's like a cat scratching him!
Fuck, fuck, fuck... Throw a basket of corals into the sea? Do you want to be so luxurious and corrupt?
Although coral is not valuable now, it will be valuable in the future...
Uncomfortable...
No matter how uncomfortable it is to hear, why should you tell him?
Father Ye turned the scroll wheel and saw another toad fish coming up two or three meters away. He quickly urged him, "Hurry up and work, why are you asking? I really threw it away. At that time, my eldest aunt and two aunts also threw it away."
Yes, what are you using it for?"
"Fuck..."
In my heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past, three baskets...
Even more uncomfortable...
"Why are you throwing it away? Where did the coral come from?" Seeing his father's repeated urging, he had no choice but to endure his heartache and take the ugly toad fish out of the net as he spoke.
"Why don't you throw them away and keep them? The largest ones are only as big as a finger, and the smaller ones are only half as long as a finger. Some of them are even thinner than chopsticks. They are useless and take up too much space."
"Who says it's useless? Just look at it at home. The red and pink ones look so beautiful. Why does that little thing take up space?"
Damn it, Ye Yaodong really wants to beat his chest! I really want to curse!
"Where did it come from?"
He was unwilling to ask questions clearly.
"Your aunt brought a big basket a few years ago. The old lady divided it among the three of them. But your mother and the others turned around and waited for your aunt to leave before taking it and emptying it..."
Father Ye said nonchalantly, and the sticky net was also pulled in while the rolling wheels were turning. In the last few meters he pulled up, there were only four toad fish weighing four to five pounds.
Ye Yaodong took out all the toad fish from the sticky net and threw them into the bamboo basket next to him. He asked sadly: "Where did Auntie come from?"
"It's said that your uncle has been running big boats in the past few years, and occasionally passes through rb waters. He often catches them during operations. The boss of the big boat kept them, and they also picked up a lot of small ones. There are scattered ones around the house.
Throwing it around, you just want to take some and see if we want it?"
"Then they took it and threw it away? Damn it...you took it all, why did you throw it away?" Ye Yaodong looked uncomfortable and constipated.
Is there any more?
"Why don't you just throw it away if it's useless?"
While Father Ye was talking, he put his fishing line neatly into the frame without stopping. There were some messy seaweed and seaweed mixed in the sticky net. They didn't care about it. They had to wash it when they took it back anyway. After washing, they had to wash it.
After drying, you need to replenish it before you can continue to use it.
"Why are you looking like this? You went to sail home, why are you still standing there? Just throw it away. It's not worth anything. What's such a pity. If you want it, ask the old lady when you go back. She will definitely
There are still a bunch more.”
The old lady would definitely be reluctant to throw away the things her daughter sent her, and she would keep them there if they were no longer useful.
Huh? And there are twists and turns. Ye Yaodong was pleasantly surprised, but instantly became depressed again.
After the old lady passed away in his previous life, he didn't see any coral. He probably burned it or threw it back into the sea.
It was rare that he was busy with funeral arrangements, and he didn't pay attention to the things she left behind. Before she died, the old lady only secretly gave him a few big solidarity sheets wrapped in a handkerchief. She probably felt that
There was no point in giving him the coral if it wasn't worth the money, so I didn't say anything.
Thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable. Just throw it away. Go back and ask the old lady. If she still has it, ask her to put it away. If she doesn't want it anymore, then let him put it away. It costs tens of millions to throw it away.
Can't throw it away anymore.
"Dad, go back and tell your mother. If there are any more next time, don't throw them away. If she doesn't want them, just give them to me. If you see others throwing them, ask her to pick them up or tell me. I'll pick them up. I want them.
of."
Father Ye rolled his eyes at him, "What are you using it for?"
"Save it. If it's not valuable now, it doesn't mean it won't be valuable in the future. What if it's valuable in the future? Anyway, if you don't want it, just give it to me. I want it. In what year did you throw it away?"
"The first month of the year before last? Or the year before last? Do you know now that it will be valuable in the future?"
"Alas~"
Who stays home during the Chinese New Year? No wonder he doesn’t know.
Father Ye only thinks that he is a bit inexplicable. It is just scraps that no one wants. He still treats it as a treasure. Will it be valuable in the future? Can he predict the future now?
"Go, go, I'll sail the boat, don't get in the way." I don't know why? I kept asking for a long time.
His father took over the sailing job, and Ye Yaodong had no choice but to sit back on the small bench and sigh, what a waste of time.
He touched his pocket again and took out the small piece of coral and looked at it carefully. The color of this red coral was quite uniform. The bright red was not mixed with pink and white. There were also some patterns on the surface. It looked very beautiful.
Eye-catching, set as a ring or embellished on a bracelet, it will definitely look great.
He put it in his hand and played with it for a while, then put it back in his pocket, ready to store it when he got it home.
After gathering his clothes, he rolled up his sleeves, intending to take advantage of his free time to sort out the baskets of toad fish in advance. The prices for the big and small ones were different.
This time he planned to leave the little one back to dry in the sun, as the weather happened to be good these days.
The harvest of the last sticky net that was tested for the first time today was pretty good. One weighed more than 20 kilograms, and three weighed seven or eight kilograms. But the number of fishing nets was too small, so many nets needed to be harvested together, which would be a big amount.
.
But at the beginning, Ye Yaodong only thought about the poor harvest of the trawl net, so he built a sticky net to test the water and subsidize it. After all, this net was very troublesome and had to be washed and dried every time. Unlike the trawl net, it only needed to be repaired every few days.
Now that we have this rolling wheel, we can put a few more sheets specifically for toad fish and flounder. The large amount can fill up the fish and save labor. The number of trawls may be appropriately reduced.
Ye Yaodong has already thought about it in his mind. After all, bottom fish in autumn and winter are easier to catch by sticking to the net.
On the way back, there were many returning boats on the sea one after another. The fishing boats they operated here either went there on the same day and returned the same day, or went there for three or five days. The number of fishing boats on the sea was the largest every evening.
Although they collected an extra sticky net in the end, which delayed a bit of time, they originally collected the net in advance. The weather was sunny today, the waves on the sea were small, and the boat was moving relatively gently. The sun was just setting when the fishing boat docked.
He also sorted several baskets of toads in about the same way, and also sorted two baskets of black mullet. The prices of male and female black mullet are different.
The ovaries of female fish are called mullet roe, which is a precious food and one of Wanwan's famous products.
There are still a few baskets left that haven't been picked yet, and they will be handed over to his parents for sorting when they get ashore.
The fishing boat had just approached the shore waters, and the familiar boats nearby all shouted to each other, and then asked each other how much they had caught today.
The huge white oarfish was placed on the side of the boat, surrounded by a pile of stacked bamboo baskets, which blocked the view. Therefore, the fishing boat next to it did not see the oarfish, only the oarfish.
The piles of bamboo baskets all complimented Father Ye with a smile.
Father Ye was very happy when he saw the catch on the boat, "They are all toad fish and black mullet. I am just lucky and caught a few trevally. I see that your boat is also full of baskets, and the harvest is also very good."
ah."
"They're all about the same. Recently, the trawl nets are all about toads and mullet, and there are also quite a few flounder..."
"We are about the same. We just have two small baskets left to dry..."
Father Ye did not specifically point out the oarfish. Anyway, he would naturally see it when he lifted it off the shore. He looked directly at Ye Yaodong, "Dongzi, will you go to town as soon as you get off the boat?"
"Well, while it's still bright, I'll call a tractor to take me directly to the town dock."
While the catch is still fresh, it will be sent to the pier in the town, where the fishing boats are busy coming into the harbor.
At this time, Ye Mu also saw her fishing boat and came down from the shore. When the fishing boat docked, she happily climbed on it.
"The harvest is quite good today, the baskets are all full on the boat...ah! What is this? What is it? Hairtail? Why is it so long?"
As soon as Ye Mu climbed onto the boat, before she could finish her words, she saw the oarfish lying close to the side of the boat, and she was shocked.
She had never seen such a long fish in her life.
"This is the oarfish."
"What oarfish?"
"Oarfish?" The man on the fishing boat next to him also listened and repeated in surprise, "Did you catch the oarfish?"
He leaned to the side of the boat and stretched his head to look, but his line of sight was blocked by the bamboo basket. He could only see a little bit of the fish head and the red tassels on the fish head.
The woman next to me quickly asked the man what an oarfish is, is it just an oarfish?
Mother Ye also asked excitedly: "Is this the emperor in the hairtail? That's why it grows so big, so it's called the emperor."
Father Ye's face was covered with black lines, "It's not the same species, it just looks similar. This one is also called an earthquake fish. Please be more vigilant in the next few days."
"Ah? Earthquake fish? Will there be an earthquake if you catch this fish?" Ye Mu felt that her brain was not enough.
"It's not that it will happen if you catch it. The appearance of this fish means that there may be an earthquake or tsunami. Otherwise, it will not run up from the deep sea to take refuge." Ye Yaodong explained quickly.
The couple on the fishing boat next to them also heard the explanation. The woman suddenly understood, while the man was a little curious, "You guys lift up the oarfish and take a look and see what it looks like. I heard the old man say it before, but I really haven't seen it before."
Pass."
"I'll see you later."
Ye Yaodong said hello to his parents and asked them to wait on the boat before getting off the boat. He wanted to call the tractor first to avoid delays until it gets dark.
