Chapter 165 Longline Fishing

Mother Ye had already opened one herself, and it was no longer novel, so she just looked at it with a smile.

Sister-in-law Ye, Second Sister-in-law Ye and Lin Xiuqing were surprised. The three of them gathered around and came directly to them.

All they saw was a milky white bead on the edge of a whole plump oyster. Ye Yaodong didn't touch it, so he let them take a look first.

He himself was also very happy. Unexpectedly, after opening more than 20 times, one came out. This one was about 8mm in diameter.

"It really does!"

"Isn't this valuable?"

Ye Yaodong dug out the pearl and handed it to Lin Xiuqing before saying, "Not necessarily. It depends on the color and roundness. I can't tell, but it is definitely better than the freshwater pearls on the market. Keep it first!"

Seawater pearls are different from freshwater pearls. Most seawater pearls are perfectly round in shape and are bred in the sea. They feel more delicate and more refreshing and moisturizing.

Generally speaking, the shapes of freshwater pearls are irregular, including flat, oval, and concave and convex. They also have a astringent feeling to the touch. You can buy poor quality freshwater pearls. Grinding pearl powder, but not seawater pearls, seawater pearls have nucleation.

Seawater pearls also contain more organic matter, trace elements, and minerals and are more comprehensive. Moreover, seawater pearls are naturally produced with a mechanism that is more suitable for the human body and can absorb toxins in the human body.

The two sisters-in-law were extremely envious and looked at the pearl in Lin Xiuqing's hand with covetous eyes.

"If you can't sell it for money, why can't you wear it yourself? It's great."

"When you're fifteen, do you want to go fishing on an isolated island again? Let's go with you?" Sister-in-law Ye looked at him with hope after finishing speaking.

Sister-in-law Ye also wants to go.

Mother Ye was also very moved, "How about Dongzi, if you go there next time, let us know and we will go with you. No matter whether it is worth it or not, it would be nice to come back with more things."

Headache!

Just go on an adventure with your friends. If you go with the women at home, you can only find an island with a beach. You have to be careful when climbing on the rocks.

trouble!

These grown-up men fell down and fell into the sea without any problem. Now asking him to lead a group of women would give him a headache.

"Mom, as you said before, the rocks are very slippery and the wind is strong on the sea. If you are not careful, you can easily be knocked into the sea by the waves. Even if the tide goes out, safety cannot be guaranteed. Don't look at the many goods I brought back. But it’s quite risky, you can decide if you want to go.”

If he wanted to go, he could only try to find an island with higher terrain.

There are only those small isolated islands around, and the closer ones are almost gone. Others have to be searched and visited. If it doesn't work, just take them to the islands they have been to before. The islands they went to at the beginning are quite safe. Yes, the goods are definitely available.

People visit the pier and reef in their village every two days, but they can still find something every time.

"Let's go and have a look. Let's just be careful." Ye's mother didn't want to take the risk at first, but she couldn't bear it. This time, Ye Huimei came back with a full load, and she even opened a pearl with her own hands.

The goods Dongzi brought back a few times before were all worthless ones in shells. She didn't ask how much they would sell for some of the items that could be sold. How could there be such a direct impact this time. ….

"Okay, I'll let you know when I go."

You can’t go with your friends without your family.

Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye were also happy.

Lin Xiuqing touched her belly with some regret. In her current situation, if she wanted to go, he probably wouldn't take her there.

"Do you want me to open it for you? Otherwise, you don't know how long it will take you to open it with such a bag?" Sister-in-law Ye was eager to get started.

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Wait a minute, let's go have breakfast first. We got up late today. Can we continue driving after eating?"

"Okay, let's take care of the house first."

Mother Ye stayed for a while, and then left when she was done.

The couple talked excitedly while eating.

"I didn't expect that just a moment ago, you actually opened another one. This is the first time I've seen it."

"Maybe I'll let you open one later."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "How can it be such a simple thing? Just say it."

"I can't say for sure. These oysters have probably been growing for many years."

Ye Yaodong said as he opened one of the freshly steamed oysters, dipped it in soy sauce and vinegar, and put it directly into his mouth.

Although it doesn't have the fragrance of minced garlic, it is delicious enough on its own.

Oysters are men's gas stations and women's beauty salons.

He ate three in a row before stopping. Seeing Lin Xiuqing picking up one to open, he prepared to help her open it, but she refused.

"I want to drive it myself, what if there are pearls again?"

"Okay, I'll open it for you."

There is no doubt that this is just her imagination. What came out was only full of oyster meat. She actually just said it casually and didn't expect it to come out casually. She just dipped a little sauce and put it in her mouth.

"Get some scrambled eggs this afternoon... huh?"

Lin Xiuqing just took two bites when she felt something foreign in her mouth. When she rolled her tongue, she immediately felt what it was and spit it out in surprise.

Ye Yaodong was also surprised. Is this okay?

"Ah, it was actually hidden in the meat, and I almost got bitten by it."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the pearl in her hand happily and couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, she had just touched it with her tongue and stopped it in time. Otherwise, if she had bitten off a mark like Sister-in-law Ye, it would have been her turn to cry.

"show me."

Ye Yaodong took the pearl in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was intact, without flaws, and round.

"Take out the one I just gave you and compare it."

"It seems like this one will be a little bigger?"

"It's a little bit..."

The couple watched excitedly and paid no attention to the two children. When they were not paying attention, the two clever ones grabbed half of the fried cake with one hand and stopped eating. They just gnawed on the fried cake.

After Lin Xiuqing was happy and put away the pearls, she saw two people with their hands full of oil and their mouths full of oil, gnawing all over the table and falling.

She couldn't help but cursed a few more times, but the two of them got off the table and ran away.

When she got up in the morning, each of them took one to chew on. She was worried that if she ate the whole one, she wouldn't need to eat the porridge, so she only took one and cut it in half for them to share, while the remaining two were cut in half to be served with rice.

I didn't expect to just take it and run away now. These two brats will be caught and beaten when they are free! ….

"Hey, just eat when you eat. If you don't eat, you will naturally eat when you are hungry at noon. If you are hungry, you don't need to feed me. You can eat your own."

Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "It's all you who seduced them. How can they grow taller if they don't eat?"

"The nutrition is all in the vegetables, it has nothing to do with the rice, right?"

"Who said it? If you don't eat, you won't be full no matter how much you eat."

"Then they will naturally eat when they are hungry. Hurry up and eat. After eating, we will continue driving. There are many pearls waiting for you."

The couple both speeded up their meal. As soon as they finished eating, they couldn't wait to open the oysters without even washing the bowls.

When the two sisters-in-law saw that they were starting to work, they couldn't wait to come over to help. Even Brother Ye, who had just returned from working in the fields, heard about it and joined the oyster opening team.

Not long after, Xiaoxiao and Azheng also ran over excitedly and said that each of them had opened five pills, and Fatty had opened three. Plus the one on the island yesterday, Fatty also had four.

As soon as he said this, it gave him great confidence. He already had four in his hand, how could he not be worse than them?

The team that opened the oysters grew again. Amid everyone's constant exclamations throughout the morning, all the oysters were opened, and three large basins were filled with oyster meat.

Of course, the harvest was quite fruitful. Lin Xiuqing specially brought a small bowl with pearls in the middle of the journey. The pearls inside looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Hurry up and count how many there are?"

Everyone gathered around, very excited.

She excitedly picked up the small bowl and counted, "One, two, three...eighty-nine...there are nine here!"

"There were two more opened this morning, and two yesterday, 13!"

"Damn, so much? You get more than us for everything you do!" Azheng looked envious.

Xiao Xiao was already so envious that he didn't know what to say, "Awesome!"

Sister-in-law Ye and the others also looked at her with envy.

Ye Yaodong smiled and ignored them. He just said to Lin Xiuqing: "Take it back to the house and put it away first. Let me clean it up here."

"Um."

"Do you want to sell it for money? Dongzi?"

"Ah?" Ye Yaodong looked at Xiaoxiao in surprise, "Do you want to sell it for money?"

"That's what I think. If you don't sell it for money, why would you keep it in your hands? Should you still use it to wear it? Don't you think it's too wasteful? It's more practical to exchange it for money."

Azheng also nodded, "Yes, let's sell it for money? Money is the most real thing."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and then said: "Forget it, you can just sell it. I'll wait until money is tight."

There is no need to spend a lot of money now. Wild seawater pearls are still relatively rare. In the future, only cultured seawater pearls will be available on the market.

He still wants to keep good things to his wife, and they will be gone if he sells them. What woman doesn’t like jewelry? It’s more meaningful to buy it by yourself.

Moreover, this thing maintains its value. As prices rise over the years, good quality will only become more valuable.

"You really don't want to sell it?"

"You don't need a lot of money at the moment, so you can take it to the store and ask how much it's worth. If it's not much, just let it go first. It's just been re-opened a few years ago, and the economic conditions are limited. After a few years, it will definitely be better than Good now."

Xiaoxiao spread his hands and said, "Okay, let's ask first. If it's cheap, we'll keep it. If it's valuable, we'll get it."…

"Put away the cages and go fishing this afternoon, are you guys going to go?"

"Go, I just got a bunch of row hooks from my father-in-law, and I'm going to put them on in the afternoon."

"Fishing? Longline fishing?" Ye Yaodong looked at Ah Zheng in surprise.

The longline fishing operation is called "putting" in the area around them, and "绲" refers to a special fishing line.

This is a traditional fishing technique. A main line is released from the boat into the sea. A certain number of branch lines are tied to the main line at a certain distance. At the end of each branch line is a fishhook with bait; each basket of fish is There are sinking rocks and buoys tied to the head and tail to control the main line and branch lines in the water at a specific depth, thereby trapping adult fish in specific water layers.

Longline fishing has a certain degree of fishing. Generally, the hooks used are relatively large, and only large fish can be caught. Even if small fish can eat bait, they will not eat the hook.

This fishing method is a bit old, but in this era, there are quite a lot of them, and it is a traditional fishing method.

It’s just that their village basically uses ground cage nets, Korean nets, and trawl nets. Ye Yaodong has only seen this longline fishing, but he is not familiar with it.

Ah Zheng nodded, "Yes, longline fishing, let's try it in the sea."

"Then you have to prepare in advance. I heard that this is quite troublesome. Steps such as tying the hook, arranging the fishing line, and hanging the bait all need to be completed before going out to sea."

"My wife is working on it at home. After dinner, when the tide comes, we will probably be able to go out to sea."

"Okay, let's go together. I'll take a look at this longline fishing and watch it."

Xiaoxiao also interjected: "I heard that this fishing method only catches big fish, not small fish."

"That's it. No one in our village uses this fishing method. Let's try it first. My father-in-law said it works well."

"Well done to my wife!"

"Hahaha, a son-in-law is only half a son. Doesn't your father-in-law send you fruits every three days?"

"You come and I go.".
