Ye Yaodong called to the fishing boat drifting across the way to come over.
After crawling over, he got into the cabin, put the cloth bag into his duffel bag, and then locked the cabin. There were two guns in it. He also put two guns on his father's boat.
Bundle.
Anyway, they put all their luggage outside, and the cabin was basically filled with unused supplies on the ship. Except for fishing nets, basically nothing else was of use, and the ones that were useful were put outside.
When they were about to return later, he would just open the cabin, pull out the fishing net and cast it for them.
After Ye Yaodong locked the cabin and came out, he also wondered whether he should buy a lock box. When he called the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning, he saw that the supply and marketing cooperative sold a very old model with a boxy brown color.
A suitcase that can only be opened with a password.
It's important to be on guard against others, and buying one to hold clothes and money can make you feel more at ease. Anyway, when he gets on a big ship at the end of the year, it will come in handy when he takes it to the big ship.
Even if he doesn't have a ticket, he doesn't know if the supply and marketing cooperative here doesn't have a ticket, can he still pay more to buy it?
Let’s wait until later when we are free.
After he came out, he continued to take over dividing the jellyfish. The fishing boats also drove and stopped nearby. They would go to whichever jellyfish there were and then stop to catch them. In fact, they were quite scattered and the number was not very large.
But at least it's better than the previous one.
If there are small bamboo rafts, they may be more flexible near the trench. However, the load-bearing capacity of small bamboo rafts is not good. A large jellyfish weighs nearly a hundred kilograms, and the area is large. The small one weighs twenty or thirty kilograms. It cannot hold many jellyfish.
Having to row back is quite a delay.
Small boats are the best, and can generally bear a load of about 2,000 kilograms, but they cannot row here, let alone from here to the town.
Ye Yaodong thought wildly while dividing, and he wanted to think about whether there was any way that would save more effort and be more effective.
But it really reminded him of it.
As soon as he scraped off a large piece of jellyfish blood, he stopped, then raised his head, looked into the distance with empty eyes, thought for a while, and muttered something.
"It should be okay. Let's try it when we get back."
After muttering this sentence, he continued to work, but this time he did not stop, but he was also repeating the verification in his mind, fantasizing and daydreaming.
When the sun gradually set, leaving only the glow in the sky, he slashed the knife on the cutting board, stood there, and asked others to take over cutting up the jellyfish. He walked to the side of the ship and looked at the sea for a few times.
"Hey, it feels like there are a lot more now."
"Yes, we feel the same way. The fishing boat doesn't even need to move. It's just swaying on the sea with the wind and waves. There are jellyfish floating nearby intermittently, and you can poke them with a bamboo hook."
"In the afternoon, the boat would move from time to time, change its position, and keep chasing them. There were obviously more people at this time."
"It's too late. Let's go to the Internet cafe and drag a net back to the island to divide it. Then we have to drag it to the shore before dark to sell it. I will go to the boat to get the fishing net, and one of you can help organize the net."
"Brother Dongdongdongdong..."
"Chen Shi, come here."
Just call them by name to save him from going on and on.
"Hey..."
After Ye Yaodong walked to the stern of the boat, he also shouted to the three nearby boats: "Drag a net and go back~"
At night, jellyfish usually move in the lower layer of the water. It is estimated that they will shrink back soon, maybe within an hour or two. Go back early and finish the job early.
If it's too late, I'm afraid it'll be too late. It's not safe to be outside in the dark. Public security is not good these days. If you can, go back as early as possible to avoid losing more than you gain. Anyway, there's still a lot of time, and no one seems to know this location on the sea now.
When the others saw that he had taken out his fishing nets and was about to put them down and drag them back, they all looked at the time and started moving.
Ye Yaodong also called Brother Asheng and asked him to prepare to sail the boat and go back while trawling the net.
After he delivered the wave of jellyfish he had processed in the evening to the shore and sold them, he went straight to some fishing gear shops near the pier.
In the morning, I saw two or three fishing gear shops near the pier here, with some fishing nets, nylon threads, shuttle needles, lead weights and so on.
Fortunately, there was one store that hadn't closed yet, but the door was half closed, so it was a good thing he ran there in time.
He directly asked the boss to buy two ready-made fishing nets with thick blue threads. The mesh was only one finger, which was the same as the nets they used for trawling, but there were no lead or iron weights on them, just fishing nets, those
Things can be added based on personal needs.
I didn’t buy too big a size, so I bought two pieces of about 16 meters, but they were not cheap, costing more than ten yuan for two pieces.
After buying it, he hurried back to the boat.
Father Ye thought he was going there. Everyone was on the boat, but he still ran out.
"Why did you buy these two nets?"
“Buy it back and try it.”
"What are you trying? It's not cheap..."
“You’ll know when you go back and give it a try.”
He was going to try out the little trick he had just figured out at sea. If it worked, his daily income would be able to increase by dozens of yuan in the future.
"Are all the buckets and nylon bags on the ship filled with water?"
"It's installed. Just when we were weighing it, I asked them to go to a nearby place to load two barrels each on the water boat."
"Then let's go back."
Father Ye saw that he was mysterious and didn't say anything directly, so he didn't ask any more questions and hurried back first.
Anyway, the fishing net can also be used. If the one on the boat is temporarily damaged, it can be replaced.
As soon as Ye Yaodong returned to the island, he would eat first.
But he asked several boatmen not to take a shower after meals to avoid wasting water resources, and he would ask them to go into the water later to help.
"Dad, after dinner, I will take a few people to the mountain to chop down 8 thicker sticks or bamboo poles."
"What do you want to do? It's already so late and it's already dark. I can't do anything until daybreak tomorrow."
"I want to get this net bag," he pointed to the two fishing nets he just bought. "I want to tie the fishing nets and put them in the sea. I will get up tomorrow morning and see if I can catch jellyfish. If I can catch them, we will
You can collect one before every morning.”
Father Ye frowned and thought for a moment, but did not reject it outright.
"How are you going to tie it?"
"It's like a custom-made net, fixed in the sea. The opening of the fishing net is tied into a square with bamboo poles. I bought it and looked at it. The length and width are about 4 meters each, and the net is 16 meters long."
"After the bundle is fixed and put into the sea, it is like an oversized net bag. It can be stretched into the sea to catch the floating jellyfish. At low and low tides every day, the water flow is relatively stable, which is conducive to the floating of the fishing nets to the sea.
, it’s also a good time to close the net.”
"When the tide is low and we're not here, my cousin can still watch. It's no problem to make two trips a day while the tide is low."
Father Ye pondered whether it was okay for him to do this. He also asked some boatmen around him who were about the same age as him.
Several boatmen discussed with each other and thought that his method could be tried. If it works, the daily income can also be increased.
"Then let's give it a try. Let's eat the food first, and then we can do it after eating."
When they walked to the island after the meal, they also attracted the attention of other people nearby.
We are all familiar villagers from the same village, why are we shouting at them one after another?
"Did you go to poop?"
"You have to go up the mountain to take a pee. There are no roads on it, and it's not easy to walk..."
"Slow down when it gets dark..."
"Ye Laosan, why are your son and the others going?"
Father Ye replied with a smile: "Go up the mountain and chop bamboo, or a thicker stick."
"What's wrong? Didn't you make a few more sticks and tie some hooks to them when you came out? Or is it broken?"
"No, it has other uses."
"What are you going to use it for?"
"This kid Dongzi figured it out. I don't know exactly what he wants to do. I'll watch it later. I have to watch him do it."
The fact is that Father Ye really doesn't know very much whether the thing he made is useful, and he doesn't dare to make big claims openly. Anyway, if it can work, they will know tomorrow.
"A Dong is a smart kid. He can do everything one step faster than others..."
"Yes, we all can make money by following him because of him..."
"Yes, this kid A Dong is smart and hard-working."
"Let's see what he comes up with later. Let everyone take a look. If you need any help, just ask. If it's good, everyone will follow suit."
Others also nodded.
"Yes, you should say something when you need to help. When we go out, we all have to help each other and rely on each other."
"Okay, okay, we'll see if we need any help later. There are quite a lot of people here."
After dinner, everyone was naked and taking a bath. Each person only used half a basin of water. After all, there was no fresh water resource on the island, so they had to carry water to get on the boat.
Father Ye also sat there and chatted with everyone, taking a look at the jellyfish blood boiling in the pot.
What I cooked this morning has been dried in the sun for a day. When I go to bed on the ship later, I will put it in the cabin and lock it up, and sell it together tomorrow morning.
The jellyfish blood newly harvested today can be boiled and dried again in the evening.
And Aguang also came to Ye's father's side and said: "Dad, my father will arrive tomorrow evening. I told you this afternoon that Uncle Zheng and my aunt will also arrive together tomorrow. It just so happens that they will also arrive."
They all came back yesterday, and my dad and I are just the same. We didn’t catch up with Dongzi, so we had to come with my dad.”
Father Ye nodded, "You told me this afternoon, it doesn't matter. With so many boats coming, we don't need two more big boats. Once they arrive, we can just let them fish by themselves."
"No, Dad, I want to say that after the three ships arrive, I will take over their goods myself and will not give them to Chen Jiannian. After all, I didn't come here with Dongzi. My father brought them here."
Father Ye thought about it and agreed.
"Well, your father will bring it out tomorrow, not all the way. Of course, you earn it and take it yourself. You don't need to divide it."
"I think so too, so let me tell you."
"Did you tell your dad to dock directly at the town's pier?"
"As I said, I'll pick him up at the pier anyway."
"Well, that's good."
Aguang said again: "I just calculated today's account and picked out Dongzi's share. I will return the agency fee to him later. Chen Jianian's share is out, so I don't need it."
He gave it."
"That's not necessary. You collect what you earn yourself. Everyone charges agency fees. If you give his money back, what will your eldest brother and your second brother think? They are all your brother-in-law."
"I can just give it secretly. I can give it if I feel like it."
"Then when he comes back, you can make an agreement with him and tell him to take care of his own affairs. I won't care about your matter."
"OK."
"How much did you earn today?" Father Ye asked in a low voice.
Aguang grinned and made a seven with his hand. Sitting at the dock, he could directly earn 70 net income in a whole day. He was also very satisfied. When his father's three boats arrive tomorrow, he will be able to break 100.
"The main reason is that Dongzi's two boats and the two brothers-in-law carry more cargo. The combined cargo of their four boats is equivalent to the other 10 boats. Did you go to the trench to fish for it this afternoon?" He said the next sentence.
Extremely quiet.
Father Ye nodded slightly and said in an inaudible voice: "Stop talking."
"good."
"Earn slowly and try not to offend too many people. The police friend you just met also needs to move around."
"I know, he has a rest today, and I will contact him tomorrow to communicate with him."
"The dried pomfret hanging on the boat has been exposed to the sun for two days and is almost dry. You can unpack it early tomorrow morning and deliver it to others."
"Alright."
"As human beings, we must know how to be grateful. Only when we have come can we go."
A Guang nodded quickly, "I know, I know."
Ye's father didn't say much, and he was not his biological son.
The road was difficult to walk at night, and it was still a deserted island with no roads. Ye Yaodong and the others had to use their hands and feet to climb up the mountain. Fortunately, there were trees and bamboos everywhere on the mountain.
He cut down a few trees at random, and then asked everyone to slowly drag them down the mountain together.
Everyone on the beach also enthusiastically climbed to the rocks and helped catch bamboos.
Ye Yaodong was afraid that the length was not enough, so he cut 8 pieces. He needed 4 meters in length and width.
As soon as he dragged it down, he asked his boatman to help him tie the opening of the fishing net into a square shape with bamboo poles.
There are materials here, so tying them will be much easier. The bamboo poles are cut to the required length and can be simply tied up. It doesn’t take much effort.
They even had to drag the finished net bag into the sea and fix it with bamboo poles. Fortunately, they had many family members and strong strength.
Although it was pitch dark, everyone on the shore turned on their flashlights to shine light on them, and they all watched Ye Yaodong's activities curiously.
Everyone also understood that the net bag he made was just for catching jellyfish in the sea. Thinking of the jellyfish swarm in the morning, everyone was very excited.
Everyone wanted to see if his method was feasible and whether he could achieve anything useful.
If possible, they can do the same thing tomorrow night and place them on the surrounding islands.
Chapter completed!
