Chapter 191 Coming Ashore
Ye Yaodong carefully placed the piece of ambergris in the corner of the cabin, and then the father and son walked out with normal expressions.
Li Lao'er always felt that their behavior just now was a bit strange, and he wondered what kind of treasure it was. When he didn't get an answer, he still leaned against the side of the ship and watched without giving up. When they came out, he immediately appeared again.
"Hey, let me ask you, what is that thing? You are so secretive, why don't you go to the cabin and tell me about it!"
Ye Yaodong glanced at him indifferently, "It's a useless piece of marine garbage. I don't know who painted on that piece of wood after eating too much. I'm going to tie it up with a rope and use it as a float."
It is quite reliable to say that it is painted wood. After all, it is impossible for stones to float on the sea. Looking from a distance, that piece looks like gray painted wood.
When you go back, you can straighten a piece of wood into that shape, then try painting it yourself, and keep it as a backup, just in case.
As long as they look similar, they don't have to be exactly the same.
If this guy remembers something when he goes back, he can still use it to gag him.
"Marine garbage? Painting? Are you lying? How about a piece of garbage running into the cabin?"
"I went to the cabin to discuss something with my father. What if you listened to what I said on the deck?"
If he didn't want to dispel his doubts, Ye Yaodong would not bother to talk nonsense to him and explain.
"Why is it so mysterious? Why don't you show me the piece of painted wood you mentioned?"
"Why? We want to discuss which sea area to release the hook tomorrow, do we want to tell you? I know it for you, do you want to go with us tomorrow? If you have time to care about this, why not go before the sun goes down? Drag one more net.”
Li Laoer persisted, "Show me that thing and I will believe you."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Believe it or not, why do I have to tell you? When you were fighting to death, didn't you think we were nosy? We don't have time to chat with you, we still have to work."
I won’t blame him anymore after saying that, believe it or not? Anyway, most people would not think that it was ambergris. It was still a long way away, so he would make a similar piece of wood out of wood when he got back.
If it weren't for the fact that this thing was floating on the water and he couldn't believe it when he said it was a stone, it would have been easier for him to just say it was a stone.
Li Laoer frowned and watched as they sailed the boat for a distance. If he had known what was ahead, he would have worked hard to pick up the thing and take a look.
At that time, I thought about adding some trouble to them, and it didn't matter if I couldn't catch it.
Depressed, he drove the boat and followed them, standing next to their boat and watching them working there.
Father Ye also thinks that Li Laoer is very annoying, and he doesn’t know which village in the surrounding area he comes from.
"You don't want to do it after the yellowfin tuna fell into the sea, right? You can make up for the loss by fishing for another net now, otherwise you might as well go back and rest as soon as possible. There is no benefit in wandering next to our ship?"
"snort!"
Li Laoer watched them continue to load the fish at intervals of a few hooks. Although the fish were not particularly valuable, they looked quite big, and he was a little itchy.
After waiting for a while, and seeing that there was no progress, he cursed at his wife and continued to sail the boat to trawl the net.
….
There was a stalemate, and they were just reeling in the fish happily. It was a waste of time for him to just watch. It was better to drag the net again.
The father and son were relieved when they saw that the boat had finally left. The lake would be over and everything would be fine.
"It's really troublesome today."
Father Ye also agreed, "It's worth it if you catch something good. I wonder if they will associate it with each other after they go back?"
"I won't be afraid when I go back. I will make one myself when I go back."
"Well, tomorrow we will change to another sea area and we will encounter the provincial ones again. Those trawlers usually operate in fixed locations."
"good."
What was saved is encountered again, causing unnecessary trouble.
Ye Yaodong collected the buoys and sunken rocks while picking fish, untied the connection points of each trunk line, and placed them into the basket in sequence. After collecting all the fish, he finally pulled out the tail anchor.
Today's harvest is huge. Although the piece of ambergris cannot see the light for the time being, its value cannot be denied. It is also because its value is too high, so it is necessary to keep it tight at this stage.
After taking it back to dry naturally, store it in an airtight seal so that it can be stored for many years without being irritated by cats, dogs, and cockroaches.
There is also that albacore tuna, which should be worth more than a hundred yuan. There are also many other fish products. The offshore resources are better than the coastal resources.
After getting everything on the boat, Ye Yaodong immediately went to sail the boat, left the bloodletting to his father, and rushed back as soon as possible.
If it weren't for the confiscation of the goods and the moment he got the ambergris, he would have returned immediately.
At this moment, both father and son felt like returning home.
After their boat docked, the sky became dark, and the villagers around the dock were all coming and going in a hurry. After all, it was time for dinner, and they were all rushing home to eat, and they didn't care about others.
Because it was inconvenient for Lin Xiuqing, Ye Mu came out to help pick up the goods. Ye Yaodong asked his father to keep an eye on the fish on the boat first. He put the piece of ambergris into the specially emptied bucket, then took off his clothes and covered it. Send this big baby home, otherwise no one on the ship will be worried.
When he met someone he knew well and said hello on the road, he would smile, say a few words at most and quicken his pace.
People asked him why he was walking so fast?
He said he had a stomachache and rushed home to the hut.
In recent months, because he went to sea and went to and from the dock a lot, he bought a tin boat. Everyone looked at him with admiration and liked to say hello to him when they saw him.
He hurried back home, and as soon as he entered the door, there were two more pendants on his legs. The constant calls for daddy made him feel dizzy. He would never buy them food again!
I bought one or two and became attached to it.
"Go, go, go and play by yourself, I have something else to do."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and took the bucket in his hand, but felt that something was wrong with the bucket. It was not because of the weight, but because if it was fish and shrimp, the bottom would sink. It felt like the weight was tilted to one side.
She glanced at Ye Yaodong doubtfully, "What's in it? Isn't there any fish?"
As he was about to take off the top clothes, Ye Yaodong quickly stopped him and said in a low voice: "Don't move yet, take it back to the house, don't let the children touch it, and don't let anyone see it. There are still fish that are not sold at the dock. I want more." Go out, just send this thing back now."
….
She was even more confused and lowered her voice, "Is it something rare?"
Otherwise she wouldn't understand.
"I'll tell you when I get back later. Just put it away first. Brother, are they back?"
"They're back. They came back a step ahead of you. I helped my two sisters-in-law kill the fish and dry them in the sun."
"Already dried? Forget it, I'll go find them when I come back."
Lin Xiuqing watched him hurried out without knowing why, and quickly carried the bucket into the house. She didn't dare to lift the clothes on it, for fear of something bad happening.
She is a sensible wife.
I was afraid that the children would run into the house and rummage around, so they were not allowed to enter the house and were only allowed to play outside.
After Ye Yaodong hurried to the dock again, his father and mother had already sorted the fish into baskets, waiting for him to take them off the boat and weigh them for sale.
After all, it was Laosan’s fish, so he would have to wait until he came to sell it.
It was already dark and there were not many people on the pier, but when they saw them carrying an albacore tuna off the boat, most people put down what they were doing and gathered around in surprise to join in the fun.
The number of big fish appearing at their pier is not unheard of, but it is also relatively rare. Who doesn't like to watch the excitement?
"Oh my God, which sea area are you going to? Did you go far away? And you actually caught tuna?"
"It's so big! It must be more than one meter, right?"
"Has A Dong been very lucky these past few months?"
Ye Yaodong walked in front carrying the basket, "Everyone, give way. It's almost dark. Let's finish selling the goods early and go home early."
After several baskets of fish were lifted off the boat one after another, the heavier goods were weighed first. Some villagers did not rush back and waited there, just to see how much the tuna weighed and how much it could be sold for.
Everyone looked at Ah Cai's beaming look and said, "Don't say I don't take care of you. I'll give you 2 yuan and 2 cents per pound for this albacore."
Ye Yaodong thought for a while, the price seemed to be not low, and the weight was there.
Together with his father, he lifted the fish to the scale and said, "Weigh it, weigh it."
Ah Cai first measured its length with a ruler, which is a special treatment for big fish. After measuring, he added weights to weigh it.
"The length is 129cm and the weight is 49kg. Let me calculate... 107 yuan and 8 cents. Just round it up and calculate it to 108!"
"Wow~ There are so many. Is this fish so expensive?"
"You've made a fortune. Isn't it the first time for Adong to go out on the new ship today?"
"It's amazing, it's amazing. This fish can be taken out to sea for several days."
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father were both very happy. Although the price was expected, it was still worth being happy to have sold it for so much money.
There are several baskets of fish left, the cheap ones cost only one or two cents, and the expensive ones cost five or six cents. There are only big ones, not small ones.
Everyone was very curious after seeing it.
Ye Yaodong directly said that they used longline fishing, and they only caught big fish, but it cost a lot of bait. After saying that, he turned around and collected a batch of the cheapest miscellaneous fish from Ah Cai, as well as five kilograms of small white sword shrimps. Shrimp, red shrimp, cost several yuan, and he asked Ah Cai to deduct it directly from the selling price.
His two brothers came back early today and did not tell him in advance that there were no more small fish and shrimps to sell to him. He could only spend more money to buy bait, otherwise he would not have to do it tomorrow. The shrimps are limited and definitely not enough.
The villagers were all stunned. The money to buy fishing bait was 7-8 yuan, right? This is faster than some people leaving the internet open for a day. Who would do it if it costs so much money?
If you are unlucky and not many fish take the bait, isn’t it a big loss? Why spend so much money on fishing bait...
Those who were initially agitated started to retreat again.
Return to the small fishing village of 1982.
