Those dolphins are also very agile. Seeing so many fishing boats surrounding them, they no longer care about the schools of fish. They jump on the sea surface and scream a few times before diving underwater.
Ye Yaodong and the others just cast one more net than others, but the two nets they cast later were not as large as the first one.
There are not many fish in the sea anymore, and all the ones that should run away have escaped, but the fishing boats on the sea are still crowded, and there are actually fishing boats coming in the distance?
After he laughed twice, he quickly drove the boat out of the boat pile and drove towards the shore.
Father Ye was pouring out the fish from the fishing net. When he saw another boat coming, someone shouted to him: "Are there any more fish?"
He smiled and said: "There is soup!"
"So fast, doesn't it mean that the dolphins are chasing the fish? They have all been caught up by you? Oops, have you made a fortune again?"
"To make a fortune, today the trawl net can't haul more than two baskets of fish. They're all worthless. I almost lost money and can't even make back the gas money. So I'll come back early to save money on the sea."
Oil. I took the opportunity to catch two or three nets just now. Let’s go, go... you won’t even have a hair on your head when you pass by now.”
When Ye Yaodong saw that his father had finished speaking, he quickly left, leaving behind a crowd of people talking.
After returning to the shore, they realized that everyone had returned very early today because the harvest was very poor, so there was no need to waste time at sea.
And they have replenished the fish stocks twice, and now the harvest is pretty good.
The crowd was also saying that they had a good harvest today. Today, the fishing boats generally came back early, and only a few were still out. It was because there was no cargo, so they docked early. Only two or three scattered boats had a good harvest.
"Did you catch a lot of fish from that wave of fish over there just now?"
"The group of fish are still surrounding their boat. It's not a good time to catch them..."
"Ah, yes, yes, those dolphins were driving the fish to the open sea just now, why did they turn around and drive the fish to your boat?"
"Yeah, why did those dolphins drive the fish towards you? Is there any trick here?"
"Huh? My boat seemed to have passed by them just now. I seemed to see A Dong hitting the water with two wooden sticks? Is there any explanation here?"
"Yes, yes, is there anything you can say? Otherwise, why would those dolphins turn around again while driving the fish?"
They sorted and weighed the goods, which took a long time, and they had to wait for Ah Cai to settle the accounts. They calculated for a long time, but before they could go home in time, they were blocked by people who had just returned from the sea, and everyone surrounded them and asked questions.
"Tell me about it. I'll let you all know about it, fellow villagers. You won't lose anything if you tell me. You are all making a living at sea..."
"Yes, everyone has seen it anyway, tell me..."
Seeing so many people surrounding them curiously, Ye Yaodong simply said generously: "There is a saying that hitting the water with a wooden stick can attract dolphins, because the sound of a wooden stick hitting the water is very similar to the sound of a fish that dolphins like to eat.
.”
"In the future, when everyone finds a school of fish, they will hit the water like this. If there are dolphins nearby, they will run directly over. Moreover, they also like to drive away the school of fish. After discovering the school of fish, they will help us pick up the fish.
The crowd drove them over."
"Is this so? No wonder, why did the dolphin turn around suddenly?"
"So that's it... No wonder everyone is surrounding your boat..."
"I understand, I have learned now. If I encounter a school of fish in the future, I will do this and avoid being run away by the school of fish."
"A Dong is becoming more and more successful, and he knows more and more. We old fishermen don't know as much as you do. Your father will be able to enjoy the blessings in the future. The three brothers are all so successful, they all have their own boats, and they can still make money.
…”
"Yes, we have been working in the sea for decades, and we don't know as much as he does. We looked down upon him before..."
"Ye Laosan is lucky. When he gets old, he will have three sons to take care of him, so he won't have to worry about food and drink..."
"Yes, why are you so good at giving birth and teaching? The three sons are all equally promising. I heard some time ago that each of them has earned a household worth ten thousand yuan. Is that right?"
"That's better than the 10,000 yuan household that raised pigs in the newspaper last year. They only earned 10,000 yuan raising pigs for a whole year, but you earned it in two months. Wow... you are really prosperous..."
The more people talked, the more excited they became, as if they were the ones making the money.
Although there is a local saying that when everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise. People say that you are lucky, make money, and have money. The more you say this, the better your luck will be and the richer you will become, which is quite a lot.
Yu helps you sing high.
However, the rumor was too exaggerated, and there were so many cases of pink eye. I didn’t even know who the bastard was who wrote the report letter I received before. Everyone was singing their praises, so he had to keep a low profile.
Ye Yaodong quickly explained, "How can there be so much? It's an exaggeration. It sounds like there is no need to spend money. When you are away from home, how can you have the convenience and convenience of being at home? You have to take care of everything when you are away, and you need money for everything. Spending money is like running water. Eating and drinking at home is not necessary.
Money, why don’t you pay for eating and drinking outside?”
"Although I earn more, I admit that, but I also spend a lot. The salary and oil money are not the biggest part? It's really not as exaggerated as the rumors outside..."
Father Ye also quickly said: "The expenses are huge outside, and the workers' wages are high. We have spent one or two thousand in the past two months outside. Also, my boss and second son are in a partnership on the same boat, and we share it half and half."
, but it’s not much, it’s just a little better than trawling at home.”
"That's a lot of money. A Dong is now a role model for the whole village. Everyone talks about you and praises you every day."
"Yes, that boy in my family is also very lazy, and I don't want to learn from you. He is still very lazy and has not made any progress. It is difficult to get a wife. The matchmaker introduced him to me as either lame or hare-cleft.
Or their faces are full of pockmarks, none of them are decent..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Are you comparing him to a short winter melon?
Do you think he doesn't know their son?
She is ugly, short and fat, so people give her the nickname "Short Winter Melon". If she is diligent and willing to work, she can still be a decent wife. She has no capital at all, no strengths, and a lot of shortcomings. How can a wife grow up?
What? Can you compare with him?
Fortunately, there were some knowledgeable people in the crowd, so he didn't need to refute it himself, someone else would speak up.
"Don't compare your son to A Dong. After all, his parents are good-looking and are now prosperous. If your son has a family that can make money like this, why can't he find a wife? You'd better marry your son a wife first.
Let’s talk about it again? Don’t think there is something wrong with the girl, as long as she can give birth to children and carry on the family line..."
"That is to say, what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid, what kind of turtle goes with what kind of tortoise..."
"Bah, what are you talking about? My son has hands and feet, why would I want to find something wrong with him? What if a child is born with a lame, pockmarked, and cleft lip?"
"It's not hereditary. If it's hereditary from generation to generation, then what's the point?"
"Then you have to find a decent one..."
"Haha~ It's the same even if the lights are turned off..."
Ye Yaodong listened to everyone talking and turned around and slipped out of the crowd.
"This word has been spread endlessly, how can they calculate the ten thousand yuan household for them?"
Father Ye said in a low voice: "But your current property does add up to ten thousand yuan."
"There are several invisible households worth ten thousand yuan in our village, and I am not the least of them. Keep a low profile. Besides, I don't have households worth ten thousand yuan. I have to add up all my assets."
"Several? Who are they?"
Ye Yaodong glanced at his father and said, "Think for yourself!"
Although it is not easy to earn a household worth ten thousand yuan these days, it is not too rare. It is just that some people are better at hiding it and are more low-key, knowing not to be in the limelight.
And some people who have achieved a little bit just want to hear praise and want everyone to know about it.
"Forget it, it's none of our business. You still want to make a sticky net? The weather is getting colder day by day, and the wind is often blowing. There will be less time to go to sea. It's up to you."
"Let's do it. I can go to sea every day. At least I can subsidize my family and earn a bite to eat. I made a good profit by using the sticky net last year, but it's not convenient to borrow machines from Uncle Lin this year. Let's use manpower first.
Check it out."
Father Ye nodded, "When I was drinking with your Uncle Lin some time ago, I heard him talk about it. He said that he made only average money from trawling last winter, and he planned to do more sticky netting this winter."
"Well, I'll find someone to order dozens of sticky nets when I get back later. The quantity is too small and I haven't done anything yet. If you want to do more, make more."
"You can figure it out for yourself." Father Ye was quite relieved about him now.
Although there were not many empty hooks in longline fishing today, and there were as many fish hanging under the pulled main line as door curtains, most of the fish caught were mackerel minnows, which are not very valuable.
The size of the fish driven by the dolphins varies even more, some are bigger, some are pitifully small, and many of them are sardines, anchovies, and Balang fish.
Some fish are worth a little money, and some are not worth much at all. Although there are a lot of fish, they only sold for more than 40 yuan today.
This is based on usage. There has been less valuable goods recently, and he also left 200 kilograms of Balang fish to take back to dry.
The northwest wind blowing these days is very suitable for drying fish. The dried Balang fish at home was dried last year and has bottomed out. When they cook noodles, they will tear off the meat of two dried Balang fish and put it in. This is considered
The cooking method unique to their seaside people.
"When you go back later, remember to ask my mother to come over early to help kill the fish."
"Um."
Looking at the three large baskets of fish on the trolley, no wonder Ah Qing always said that he could kill all the fish that an average person would kill in a lifetime in one day.
His mother was really happy to be able to dry out so many dried fish. Everyone at the beach was happy with the fish, and people who came from that era basically had some hamster attributes.
