Fifty nets were really a lot. By 12 noon, they had only collected 18 nets. Mainly because they spent about an hour on the way out and another two hours fishing.
However, one more person will be more efficient. According to the next process, we should be able to barely finish collecting the net by dark. Even after collecting it, it will take another half an hour to an hour to put it down. It will still be seven or eight o'clock before we go back.
.
However, there will be no longline fishing tomorrow, so we should be able to dock as soon as it gets dark.
It’s so difficult to make money, it’s so difficult!
It’s even harder to make no money!
It's not easy.
Ye Yaodong looked at it and saw that it was already dinner time. The key was that he was also hungry. After putting away the net in his hand, he stopped.
"You collect the fish first, and I'll heat up the food. After collecting it, the food will be heated up."
"Go ahead."
Smelling the fragrant bone soup, he became even hungrier. Fortunately, he had eaten dry rice in the morning, otherwise he wouldn't have lasted until noon.
When he felt that the radish skull soup in the pot had boiled, he took the first step to scoop out a bowl and drink it. The rice was placed on top, as it did not heat up so quickly.
He smashed his mouth several times before calling others to come over and drink the soup first.
"The pig skull stewed with dried radish slices will taste better, and adding a little rice wine will make it more fragrant. After drying the fish tomorrow, I'll ask Ah Qing to add some dried radish."
"I'll ask your mother to do it on the weekend."
"That's right, Qing is too busy, so he has to ask my mother to do it. On weekends, he can also ask a few boys at home to pull radishes. They love doing this kind of thing."
Ye Yaosheng looked envious when he heard this, but he just smiled, drank the soup and said nothing.
After a simple and quick lunch, they continued working without stopping.
As Ye Yaodong expected, they waited until it got dark before they pulled up all the nets.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, checked the time, and continued to put the net in place, putting down the net that had been collected in front.
"It will be a day's work tomorrow. Take the net up and take it back to wash and dry it. Otherwise, there will be too many things stuck to the net, and the fish should be wary, and the goods will become less."
This kind of fishing net is easy to catch fish because it is transparent when placed in the water.
"Let's see tomorrow. Today's harvest is pretty good. Some of them are a little damaged, but it doesn't matter."
Ye Yaosheng couldn't help but said: "Then if we take the net back to wash and dry it tomorrow, we can release the longline tomorrow, release it tomorrow, and collect it the day after tomorrow. Anyway, the sticky net will not be released the day after tomorrow, so you can be busy here."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's right. When you go back in the evening, ask someone to clean it up. When you dry out the fishing nets, put out longlines. Just stagger them and you can make money from both ends."
"I envy you how easy it is to make money. It's much easier than it is for us to make money."
"You just have to be diligent and add a little bit of luck. Everyone depends on the weather. No one is better than anyone else. You just have a little bit of luck."
He just knows a little more, and sometimes he is a little bolder, or dares to think.
Ye Yaosheng smiled and shook his head, "Do it slowly! Take your time."
Ye's father went to sail the boat, Ye Yaodong lowered the nets again, and Ye Yaosheng sorted out the remaining fishing nets, and also sorted out the things on the boat, each performing his or her duties.
But when he was stacking the goods neatly, he saw the machine in the corner that was well covered with cloth and nylon bags.
He went over and touched it, patted it and asked: "Dongzi, what is this thing of yours? It looks like a small machine? I think it has been piled up for a long time, and you don't seem to have touched it. You picked it up before."
I wanted to ask about it when there were jellyfish."
Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked over and saw what he was talking about.
He had told a few of them before that he had borrowed it and wanted to return it. He also asked everyone not to touch it so that he would not have to explain to others if he bumped into it somewhere. Unexpectedly, Brother Asheng asked again at this moment.
"This is a small machine that I borrowed from someone before. It is of no use now and I planned to return it, but my friend said there was no rush and left it with me first, so I haven't touched it."
"oh."
"You don't have to worry about it, just let it pile up there."
"I just saw it out of curiosity. I heard you wanted to return it before, but I didn't expect it was still here. It looks like it takes up a lot of space."
"Well, don't worry about it."
Ye Yaodong thought it was time to tidy up the cabin and moved this in so that no one who got on the boat would have to ask questions.
Put this thing inside the cabin, and just lift it out when you need it, so you don't have to put it outside all the time.
Father Ye also kept looking at him, wondering why his sewer machine could not be seen by others.
In fact, it's not that I'm afraid of being seen, it's just to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, people nowadays dive naked no matter what they go into the water to fish for, and most of them rely on their true skills.
He continued to change the topic, "Brother Asheng, come over and help me use a flashlight to make it brighter. It's completely dark now and I can't see clearly. Even with a flashlight, I can see very blurry."
"well."
Now the nights are getting longer and longer, and when the winter solstice arrives, that night will be the longest night of the year, because the winter solstice is the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere.
After the winter solstice, the days begin to gradually shorten again, until the summer solstice, when the days become longer and the nights become shorter again.
After putting down the nets one by one, Father Ye increased his power and moved towards the shore.
Ye Yaodong just went to check today's goods received. Since the morning, he has been closing the net in a hurry and slowly, and he has no time to pay attention to how many goods he has received.
We can only take a look at the fish when the fishing net is pulled up. Are there any strange ones or big ones? But there really weren't any today.
There were three otters yesterday, but today's goods were very ordinary, so he was not in a hurry to see how many goods he had received in total.
However, on the way back, I unexpectedly ran into Uncle Lin, who actually arrived at the shore so late today.
Everyone was in a hurry to go back and didn't bother to chat. They only said hello when the boat approached, and then left to their own devices.
After he got ashore, he saw that he had also caught two otters, one large and one small today.
"No wonder you are so late today. It turns out you caught two otters and were delayed, right?"
"Yes, I happened to see a group of otters near an island not far from Dao Town, so I wanted to try my luck and see if I could catch two. When I came back to the dock yesterday, I saw someone also caught two.
"
"Good luck."
"How many goods did you receive today? 50 sticky nets. Are you busy?"
"You are really right. Two people are too busy at all. We worked until nine o'clock in the evening yesterday and didn't come back. Today I specially asked Brother A Sheng to help me, so I came back early."
"That's why I only put 30 nets, otherwise the father and son wouldn't be able to do it."
Father Ye smiled and said: "You only have one son. I don't know how easy it is to save trouble. Just work enough to earn a living. It's not like I have three sons. I have to earn more, otherwise I won't be able to get enough."
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. They all have their own boats and can make money, so what else should they share? We won't be able to do it for a few more years, and we will have to go back to growing vegetables."
"That's not what you're saying. The boat that the boss and the second two worked together was rented to them by me, and I can't take it back at that time. I can only make more money to compensate A Dong, and there are many grandchildren at home.
, when the time comes, I can even give a share to my grandchildren..."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes as he listened. His father was only 50 years old, and he was already thinking about dividing the family property with his son and dividing it with his grandson. If the two elders earned enough for them to live in old age, he would be thankful that he didn't need the third brother to provide money for him.
.
After all, they still have 30 years to live, and prices are soaring. If they save tens of thousands of yuan now, according to their urine, they will not be able to bear food and clothing. Wait 30 years later, haha~ they still want to share the inheritance with their grandchildren...
"You'd better not go so far, Dad, let's wait until you earn the money for your own retirement." After talking to his father, he said to Lin Jingye, "Uncle Lin's harvest is also very good today, the boat is full.
fish."
"I can't compare to you. You have more fishing nets and you catch more goods. Don't bother chatting. It's very late. We are probably the only ones left. The lights at the purchasing point are all turned off. Let's call Ah Cai over first.
"
"Hey, brother Ah Sheng, can you help us call Ah Cai over? He must still be awake at this point. Please help us run a trip."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Uncle Lin finished moving the goods on his own ship, the father and son ran over to help their family move the goods. When they saw the harvest on their ship, they couldn't help but be speechless and clicked their tongues.
"I knew you would catch a lot, but I didn't expect so much. It seems to be twice as much as us."
"That's because we also collected 1,000 row hooks today, so there's not a lot of goods. If we do a lot, there will naturally be more goods. We even hired an extra person to help with the work."
"How much does it cost to hire a talent? With so many goods, it's really a huge profit."
"It's not bad. It won't work if we don't do more. I also bought a rolling wheel. I have to make my money back."
"Good boy, it is true that young people are more willing to spend money, like an old guy from the next village who is reluctant to part with it. Yesterday I met a father and son from Dongqiao Village, and the three of them were working hard there. With that efficiency, it's really
It’s better to buy one and make money faster.”
"That's it, human power is no match for machines."
"Lift it first, lift it first, there are too many of you."
"Sorry to trouble you."
"Why are you so polite~"
Ye Yaodong had counted the number of baskets before. They caught more toads today, one basket more than yesterday. They were generally a bit larger in size. He estimated that there should be another one or two hundred kilograms more.
However, the other fish products are not lacking, and they still look like five or six hundred kilograms, but I don’t know if they are worth more. I guess they are not much different compared to yesterday.
But today he also received longline fishing goods. According to his initial estimate, the price today is estimated to be over 200. After deducting the cost of toad fish, it is still estimated to be around 156.
Just as they were waiting for the kiss, a female voice shouted not far away. This startled them all and turned their heads and pricked up their ears to listen to the sound.
"What's the sound? Who's calling?"
"It's late at night, it's completely dark. Who's still outside? What's the noise?"
"Who? Why did you hear the curse again?"
