Ye Yaodong turned the bow of the boat and sailed the fishing boat towards the reef. However, just when he stopped the boat to collect the buoy, a large group of squid passed by him again.
"Ah! Come on, cousin, get the net quickly, another wave of squid is passing by..."
He shouted as he went to get the net, then he adjusted it casually a few times, and then he couldn't wait to cast the whole net out.
There were no branches around, so he didn't have to avoid the net. He caught up with the tail of the squid group and caught one in the net. His cousin also reacted quickly and cast a net next to him.
Both nets are pulled up together.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but said: "If I had known, I wouldn't have listened to my father, so I would have been guarding him there. Just after I left for a while, another wave came."
"It's not too late. I happened to be passing by. This network is much larger than before. When we get closer to the small island in front, the traffic will probably be diverted."
After all, they have placed a lot of incubators around the island. When the time comes, they will be divided around the island, and the number that continues to move forward will be even smaller.
As you can imagine, the area along the coast may not have been reached yet.
"Good guy, it is indeed much heavier than before."
"We can continue to stay here..." The eldest cousin also grinned and dragged the fishing net, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and sweat was dripping down.
The midday sun shone directly from the sky, but they were leaning on the side of the ship, and the awning above their heads did not completely cover the edge.
Ye Yaodong was sweating profusely from being exposed to the sun, but his sunhat was soaked and did not flow down.
The two of them hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehepickedupthepackage, threw it on the deck, bui~bui~ a few times, ink sprayed everywhere~
"This network is so much, it has doubled!"
"Haha, you can wait here..."
"Forget it? Let's go back over there. Who knows which direction the squid swims in? You may not be able to encounter it just by staying here. There are branches over there. It's better to wait there."
As Ye Yaodong spoke, he untied the fishing net and called his cousin over. The two of them lifted the net together and poured all the caught squid into the basket.
There were also a lot of miscellaneous fish, shrimps, and a few small squids mixed in, and they didn't have time to sort through them. They just dragged the baskets to a pile and piled them together, then sprinkled some ice cubes and covered them with rags.
"Then those cages of yours..."
"We'll collect them when we get back. It won't take more than an hour and a half, and we can save some ice cubes."
"well."
After the two of them carried the baskets to the corner of the cabin and stacked them, they immediately sailed back. At this time, their friends' boat also arrived belatedly and approached them first.
"Dongzi, is the flood season coming? The net we just hauled in more than twenty kilograms of squid."
Ah Zheng's voice was filled with surprise, but Dongzi gave him an even bigger surprise.
"You guys are a step too late. We have collected almost 200 kilograms."
"Ah, damn, this horse-riding guy, we hurried over here as soon as we collected the net, but it's still a step too late."
"Isn't that right? You have already collected almost 200 kilograms right after you came out?"
He pointed at the cabin with his thumb, "Why are you lying to me? I just carried several baskets and put them in the cabin. The temperature outside is too high. Now go over to where you put the branches. I guess you can catch some more later."
If so, I’ll probably have to pick up the corpses.”
"Fuck, let's go, let's go quickly..."
They quickly and slowly turned to the other direction of the island.
Ye Yaodong also drove the boat to his father's side first, wanting to see how many more they had caught just now.
Unexpectedly, when I asked, there were still not as many as him, because all the swimmers were diverted here.
He also told his father that as soon as he passed by, he encountered a large wave of squid coming towards him. He almost didn't have time to cast the net, but he only caught the tail of a squid group.
For the next half of the afternoon, they didn't go anywhere. They just stayed there and waited. When they saw a squid coming, they cast a net to catch it.
There are many and some small ones, some are large and some are small, and sometimes the intervals are very long, which makes him feel bored and itchy, and he wants to jump into the water to take a look.
But I can only think about it, sitting there idly eating tomatoes and chatting.
Until the sun was about to set, Ye Yaodong saw that there were no squid swimming nearby for a long time, so he planned to give up and collect the ground pots and shrimp pots first.
There was no harvest after a day, but fortunately, it went quite smoothly today. None of them were caught, and the time of putting them down was long enough, and the harvest was also very good. Although some fish and shrimps were dead when harvested, they were still fresh.
Can.
The eldest cousin was curious again, "The net you set up is quite complicated? People usually use trawl nets, but yours is a trawl net, a ground trap and a shrimp trap. In winter, you also use a sticky net. I heard before that there is a delay
Rope fishing, miscellaneous things..."
"You can know which fishing nets are more efficient and profitable by trying more, and it doesn't matter if you have a few more simple fishing nets on the boat, so you are prepared. Longline fishing is indeed a bit more troublesome, but it is designed to catch big fish."
But he felt that this year's trawl net was still good, so he didn't release it specifically. After all, trawl nets now don't require much manpower and have machines to collect them. However, for long-line fishing, he still needs hooks to hang baits one by one, and release them one by one.
Go collect it, put it in and collect it every day, it takes too much time...
Anyway, in a word, he is lazy.
The advancement of science and technology is due to human laziness. No, it is to provide more convenient life services for human beings.
"And now you still think trawling is good?"
"No, I just think it saves trouble. At most, if there are too many loopholes occasionally, I can repair the fishing net."
Ye Yaodong told the truth, "Different fish species mostly have different targeted fishing nets. It's hard to say whether they are good or bad. It all depends on personal needs."
It’s just that there don’t seem to be that many types of fishing nets now. After all, many seafood products don’t have much value now and can’t compete with the skyrocketing prices in the future. Then there will be more fishing nets for targeted fishing.
"That's true. Some people think that the price of shrimp is high, so they put shrimp cages instead of ground cages."
"Then I don't mess with this shrimp pot. My uncle gave it to my father."
"My uncle seems to be partial to you."
"No, my father treats my eldest and second brothers in the same way. The boat my eldest and second brother sailed originally belonged to him, and the rent was calculated before. But starting from this month, it will no longer be counted. It is equivalent to dividing the boat among them.
"
"Ah?" The eldest cousin was surprised, "Then it will be divided directly between your eldest and second brothers. Wouldn't you lose your share?"
"It doesn't matter!"
"Yes, you already have three boats, so the share of that boat doesn't matter."
"Um."
In fact, the main reason is that his eldest and second brothers are also diligent, and the monthly rent is considered an installment payment. His father does not suffer any loss, and he is not greedy.
If he wants to have something, he can earn it himself. There is no need to affect the brotherly relationship for a small profit. His eldest and second brothers are already very good, and his father has done enough for him.
His father was worth much more to him than that boat.
"You brothers seem to have a good relationship. There are families in the village where brothers from different families would fight each other just for a few pots, pans, hoes and sickles, not to mention a boat."
"They are all poor. Okay, you put everything in order and sort the sizes of the shrimps. I will sail on the boat to meet my father and we will go back. We can still get home before dark."
Let's just chat for a few words. There is no need to waste time talking. It's more important to be busy with business.
Transport it back early and kill it while it's fresh and dry it alive. The weather is good these two days, so the cuttlefish will definitely be beautiful when dried.
It's hard to say how long the flood season will last this time. It could be ten days and a half month or longer. Since a boss has already made a reservation, he has to take the opportunity to expose it and sell it to him.
Although he didn't say the price, he wasn't afraid of investing. He had already saved the final payment for the big ship and had more than 10,000 yuan on hand.
If someone goes against his promise because the cost is too high, he is not afraid and can afford it.
By the way, you can also try the water yourself and calculate the cost. If it sells well, you will make a profit. When the price is low later, you can charge more.
Originally, everything was risky, and it was never going to be smooth sailing. If you wanted to make money, you had to put in the effort. He didn't know anything but fishing.
Buying and selling dried fish in a shop, I just came across it at first and thought I couldn't miss it. Then I thought about it. I was not a business wizard at first. He just took it one step at a time and slowly explored it.
Bo Yibo, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle, a motorcycle becomes an Alto, and an Alto becomes an Audi.
The three boats merged together, chatted for a while about the harvest, and then headed back.
He and his father received almost the same amount of goods. They both had 11 baskets. The difference was not much different. They should both have more than 500 kilograms. Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiaohui were slightly different. They arrived late and were slowly catching up later.
There are only six or seven baskets.
I estimate that the number will gradually increase tomorrow.
After their fishing boat docked, and after listening to everyone's exchanges, they realized that the small boats along the coast only caught more than 100 kilograms at most, but the harvest was much better than the previous nets. The folks on the shore all looked beaming with joy.
There are no big ships docked yet, only their three boats. After all, everyone is a little greedy, and they have the mentality of waiting to see if they can gain more.
Ah Cai saw their fishing boat coming back, and he smiled happily and actively helped push the cart forward, intending to help pick up the goods.
"A few hundred catties were harvested today? The harvest should be good, right? Many small boats have harvested hundreds of catties."
"It's not bad. With luck, I can have about five or six hundred pounds here."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, there's so much on the first day, there will definitely be more tomorrow... Come on, come on... I'll help you carry it..."
Ye Yaodong looked at him with a smile on his face and his positive attitude, which made him feel a little embarrassed...
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I plan to keep it home to show off!"
"ah?"
"Well, I want to keep this boat home for drying, and my father's boat next to it will also be kept for me to dry, and I will sell you a few baskets of groceries from the trawl."
"Are you serious? Are you kidding? It adds up to a thousand pounds, and you still keep it all home to dry?" Ah Cai's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief.
"It's more than 300 yuan. It can be converted into money directly. What if you take it home to dry it? What if you can't sell it? This is so expensive. If you sell it to me directly, you can convert it into money immediately.
You’ll save yourself the trouble and risk, and you’ll make money directly…”
The nearby villagers originally came together to see the excitement and see how many pounds they had caught. When they heard that Adong wanted to keep it home to dry, they were all surprised. This was not one of those cheap dried fish.
Ye Yaodong didn't care about other people's whispers and said with a smile: "The boss called to make a reservation in advance, so I have to keep it home to show off to others. I'm really embarrassed."
"Ah! Is there a boss who wants you? Oh! You are so good..."
