Chapter 601 The sea monster comes ashore (two more updates for alliance leader Arrietty)

His father is also used to being lazy.
As a grown man, what's wrong with cooking?
The two boats simply ate and drank, and after discussing the sea monster for a while, they went to trawl their nets separately.
Everyone is thinking that today's episode should be just a simple episode, and it will be over.
Who hasn’t encountered something strange and strange at sea?
When I trawled the net later, I didn't encounter any unexpected situations and it was pretty calm.
The two boats did not go their separate ways, but were separated by a long distance and did not interfere with each other. Almost only the small black spots of their respective fishing boats could be seen.
Today’s harvest was not good. I missed the wave of black mullet and only caught about 70 to 80 kilograms.
It can only be said that it is just so-so. It is better than the goods collected by the sticky net. Fortunately, there are two sea pigs to subsidize it. Uncle Lin and the others are really making a lot of money.
Looking at the sun hiding among the clouds early, even though it was not yet evening, it was only 4 pm, but after the net was put away, it was too late for them to release another net.
If the net is released again, it will get dark, so Uncle Lin and the others plan to return early. Anyway, they have already harvested a lot today.
After the father and son put away the last net, they felt that it was too late to put out another net, so they started to put out the sticky net.
I can put as many as I can, just in time to collect them tomorrow. Dried fish is now the most important source of income for their family.
In fact, you can also use black mullet to dry fish, but the cost is a bit high.
If the cost is high, the selling price will also be high. I am afraid that people will think that he is deliberately raising the price. It is not as cost-effective as those three- to five-cent fish, so it is better to be more stable.
Because they had to put down sticky nets, they arrived two hours later than Uncle Lin and the others.
It was already dark when we docked, and there weren't many people on the pier. Only a few people who were greedy for money were busy at this time. Even the workers working at the Mazu Temple had gotten off work.
As soon as he landed ashore, Ye Yaodong heard that a sea monster appeared on the sea today. Maybe Uncle Lin and the others came back early, and then told the villagers about it.
Ah Cai saw them and asked, "Have you really encountered a sea monster? What does it look like?"
"You all know about the sea monster, but Uncle Lin can't describe it?"
"It's very vague, even if I say it, I can't see it clearly."
"We didn't see it clearly either. It was gone for a second or two, and it just passed by in a flash. We only had a rough look at it, and we had almost forgotten it by now."
"That's a pity."
"What a pity. Did you think that encountering it would be a good thing? Such strange creatures are not found in offshore waters. If it attacks the ship, we will be out of luck. If we are not careful, we will be in trouble."
"That's right, it's better to stay safe."
"Weighed, weighed, quickly put it on the scale and go home."
Just as Ye Yaodong finished urging and was weighing the scales, someone on the shore let out an exclamation, and one after another, they all screamed like "Oh my God! Oh my God..."
It immediately attracted everyone's attention. Half of them quickly turned around to look, but there was a bright light in the small room. From the bright place, looking into the distance, they only felt it was pitch black and couldn't see anything.
Father Ye volunteered and said: "You weigh here first, there are only a few baskets left. After the weighing, I will go and find out what happened."
Ye Yaodong stretched out his head to take a look, then retracted, nodded, and urged Ah Cai to hurry up.
After his quick weigh-in was over, Ah Cai quickly put down his paper and pen and ran to the shore with him without even bothering to settle the accounts.
At this time, most of the people still staying at the pier were standing on the shore watching the excitement.
"What kind of fish is that? It's so ugly..."
"Is there really a sea monster? I heard it from people there in the afternoon. Fortunately, I have been sorting goods at the dock and haven't gone back yet, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it..."
"What kind of fish is this?"
"Who knows... Oops, it looks several meters long..."
"Look at its mouth still open, its teeth are so sharp."
"Where did the Zhou brothers catch it? Can they catch such a big fish?"
"Can I sell this for money? It looks pretty ugly, so no one wants it, right? I don't know if it's edible or if it's poisonous? It doesn't look like something edible..."
"I'm just wondering if I can eat it? You can't eat it, and you can't sell it for money, but if you catch it, everyone can open their eyes."
"Isn't this a lot of work?"
"They can actually catch such a big fish, isn't it hard to catch?"
When Ye Yaodong and the others walked to the shore, they saw six or seven men in the water in front of them, struggling to drag a big guy towards the shore.
The surrounding villagers helped with flashlights and illuminated the road to make it easier for them to get ashore.
His ears were filled with all kinds of discussions. Men and women were discussing this fish.
Ye Yaodong patted his father's shoulder, stretched his neck, and stared at the ugly big fish that the Zhou brothers and the villagers were carrying.
"Dad, this seems to be the sea monster we encountered during the day?"
"It seems like it. I just came over and saw it, and I said it seemed to be the one we encountered during the day. It's impossible for two such ugly big fish to appear at once."
"Well, I don't know how they caught him."
"It's hard to say, we'll find out later."
Some enthusiastic villagers saw that it had been dragged to the water, so they went up to help lift it.
Ye Yaodong and his son also went up to help. After all, they were neighbors and fellow villagers. By the way, they could also ask how they were caught.
"I'll tell you later, I'll tell you later, drag it up first..."
Everyone was carrying it, it was very difficult, and no one had time to talk.
When they dragged this big thing to the shore and threw it to the shore, they breathed a sigh of relief, and the villagers also asked a lot of questions.
Mr. Zhou laughed and said: "Our ship happened to be working at sea, and we saw this strange thing rolling on the sea. I was too scared to get close at first, but later I saw it stopped struggling and swam in the nearby sea.
You’ll be gone in a moment.”
"I didn't take it to heart at first, but after a while the fishing net couldn't be dragged anymore. We thought it was stuck on the bottom, so we couldn't let go of the fishing net. It was so cold that we had to dive into the water to take a look."
"I didn't expect that such a big guy would be caught in the fishing net. It almost shocked me. I was so scared at the time."
The second son of the Zhou family added: "This thing weighs a thousand kilograms, and we can't drag it up at all. We raised our flags and asked for help from nearby fishing boats. They originally planned to return, so they kindly helped us tow it back."
.”
The villagers suddenly realized, "No wonder, this thing is so big, let's ask how you caught it? How brave you are..."
"Just saying that such a big guy is not something ordinary people would dare to catch..."
"Then what are you going to do? What is this?"
What!? This is a question for everyone.
No one knows what this thing is? It looks weird and weird, and it even threw itself into a trap.
They just wanted to drag this thing back first. As for what to do with it, they didn't think of it for a moment. They would drag it back and then make plans. What if they could sell it for money?
Last year, the whole village knew that Ye Yaodong had brought an oarfish back, and it was said that he delivered it to the town and sold it for several hundred yuan. The whole village and the neighboring village were in a sensation, and no one knew about it.
What if this fish can be sold for a big price?
They have this idea too!
Even though it looks a bit ugly, I don't know what kind of creature it is, so I feel a little unsure.
"Can... can this thing be sold for money? Can it be weighed?" Boss Zhou looked at A Cai and A Gui with a smile.
Agui immediately shook his head, "I don't know what this is, I don't want it."
They were immediately disappointed and looked at Ah Cai again.
Ah Cai smiled awkwardly and said, "It's too big and heavy. I can't weigh it. And I don't know what it is. It's ugly. No one knows whether it can be eaten."
Zhou Laoer was anxious for a moment, "Then don't you want it? We dragged it back with great difficulty. You can also help us ask and see if anyone wants it?"
"Uh... ok, you guys wait here for a while, I'll go to the village committee and make some calls to see if anyone will be interested."
He is just too enthusiastic and kind. When the folks ask for something, he will try to help him. If he succeeds, he can also earn an agency fee!
He has to make whatever money he can, otherwise how will he get rich?
"Hey, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Let me take a look at Xiaoliao's goods first."
"It must be true, so many of us are here to watch."
Ah Cai ran to his small dormitory, took a small notebook, and rode his bicycle to the village committee.
None of the villagers wanted to leave. It was a rare opportunity to catch the live broadcast, so they all gathered around to discuss.
Some afternoons I heard rumors in the village and asked Ye Yaodong and Ye's father.
"Lao Lin said this afternoon that you and he saw a sea monster. Is it this one?"
"Yes, I've heard about it too. Is it this weird fish?"
"At the time, I thought he was lying, but he said you had seen it too."
"That was the one you saw first, right? The two brothers Zhou Da and Tuesday met later, right?"
The Zhou brothers heard what the villagers were saying to each other, discussing and asking questions, and they immediately understood. Ye Yaodong and his son also met in the afternoon.
They quickly asked: "A Dong, did you also meet him this afternoon?"
Everyone opened their mouths and asked questions incessantly. Ye Yaodong didn't know who had the best answer. When he heard them ask, he nodded.
"Yes, we were trawling in the afternoon and happened to meet Uncle Lin. The two boats were talking at a distance. Suddenly, a strange creature appeared in the middle and jumped directly onto the water, splashing water all over us."
"We just took a quick look, but before we could take a closer look, it returned to the sea. It looked a lot like the one you dragged back, but I don't know if it was, after all, it disappeared in the blink of an eye."
The boss of the Zhou family patted him on the shoulder and said, "It must be so. How could there be two of these things? It happened that you were alive when you saw them, and I was almost dead when I saw them, so we got a good deal."
"
Ye Yaodong smiled and said nonchalantly: "I can't do anything about such a big guy. I wish I could hide far away."
"I don't know if you can sell it for money after dragging it back so hard. If you can sell it for money, you won't have to work in vain and you can still make a good fortune."
